Walls of stone hide your shivers now
Raise the mantles cast down
Impose guilt on those faint shadows
Lift the weight of truth
Crawling closer to the surface
Trace the sounds to (the) coast of madness
Chains still hold you tight in your cell
As your mind begins its journey
Failures clad in cloaks of winter marching on
Driving forward through the ice of your heart
Grasping, pulling free the crystals broken leave
Leave you fighting for your fragile sanity
Now moments part in a million violent ways
As you try to fight to remember what is real
This deliverance, a final glance, on what you are
So lost between two worlds far apart
Yet another bloated corpse floating in the stream
Eyes glazed and dead in their search for truth
Scars burst wide open as you transcend these
Human ways of false tranquillity
You have become all that you will be
There's no way up now and you're all the way
Down in your own hole

In Circles

Flies fly
In circles around the soul
Lost control
Madness rears its ghostly head
When faith is lost and regained
Nothing true is retained
All that's left is blind and dark
Lost his way
Lost his sight
His silent shame
Burning through
Increase the light
Hide the few
That in shade
Quickly grew
Lies
Growing like weeds on torn
concrete roads
Always leading to a city of ghosts
Chancing a glimpse of hope/home
A moment of new light
Wonder in their eyes
No one can save him from losing himself
No one can save us from his faith
Increase the light
Hide the few
That in shade
Quickly grew
Lost his sight
Lost his way
When their light dies
Where their hopes lay
Chancing a glimpse of hope/home
A moment of new light
Wonder in their eyes
It is a cruel place where their hopes lay
It is a cold place when their light dies

Cold & Tight

Word by word, one by one
What follows – thy will be done
You’re whispering secrets, there’s grace in your sighs
We’re all united by light
I can see you transcending, fanatically praying
My throat – it turns to blue as you use your halo as my noose
Your truth’s a shadow
A shadow for all your lies
My skin is cold and tight
I’ve tried to kneel, I’ve tried to feel
what's found beneath
My eyes won't see what you believe
The lie shall live, so won't you take
The blindfold off my eyes
The blindfold off my eyes
My throat – it turns to blue as you use your halo as my noose
Your eyes – they stare so bright
The heaven you sent
I fell right through

Give In

You choose the needle and the same rage again
The same substance to keep you alive
Life is hard without it
But it will change you, it raises walls around you
But it will change you, raises walls around you
Tomorrow may be better
Tomorrow things might change
Have you run out of distance
Has it always been the same
Temptation ever present, the fever grows.
Joy of life will disappear, you're letting it go.
Temptation ever present, you will never be the same.
The life in your eyes fading away
Are you giving up?

Undone

They always knew
they had it all planned out
(using their ways to remove all doubt)
No one saw through what it was all about
The pride, the elation, that
brought firm belief
In what the future held and all
the promises they gave
No use to pretend
the impending end
will leave us alone
Our world comes undone
the time to concede
has come to us
Not a thing to believe
No final reprieve
Fragments of trust we cling to in vain
(Time's running out to the last grain)
nothing to lose nothing to gain
Buried in snow a world without a face
our welcome worn-out for the
last of our days
The world's now seen the might of man
His awesome display of power
Cessation of time, end of narration
The film catches fire, incineration
The feature's over, the hero leaves the frame
Half-forgotten tale without a name
Still life carries on, each day a new dawn
Now that we're gone

Isolation

Never again
Find yourself face down
A tangle of existence weighs in your gut
Once again arraigned
But who gives the verdict
Willing convict by perjury
Waiting for a gale to bring
back ashes carried away
The ties that bind us
Released but who will break the fall
The ties that bind us
Increased in tension, safe, natal
My own thoughts take it out on me
And insinuate that it's all my doing
But I tuck them back
beneath heavy cloaks
Of numbing comfort
Perceptual isolation
Till the introduction of a new awareness
The ties that bind us
Released but who will break the fall
The nights that confine us
Breached by chill of one more dawn
Confined by night
Between these walls
Once again
In my head wide awake between the walls
i've built to keep me sane
Fall asleep and for a moment
I'm a different me
