Psychonaut 04:07
When the Earth was full and young, Bathing in the light of a juvenile sun, There was no contention Just a clouded marble rolling it’s way along to the longest drop That will never stop Cue the fountainhead of man, Flowing forth and filling every possible span This is the way we all began We have been a burden since we could barely even stand We are the dogs that bite the hand Don’t hold your breath, I’ve seen what’s next And I can say with certainty that we’ve been offered up as the main course Just remain deaf, ’til nothing’s left So then you will be able to say you’re not responsible for this spectral Form my body out of clay, Mouth wide open, Though I have nothing to say This is the normal human way Slipping in and out of something that is brushing close to the unknown, It is a quantum cornerstone Put a conscience in my mind, I hear thoughts, but they are never mine It happens all the time If I listen close enough I can hear all that’s been hidden in the rough This crucial time is almost up Don’t hold your breath, I’ve seen what’s next And I can say with certainty that we’ve been offered up to the nameless Just remain deaf, ’til nothing’s left So absorbed and purely egocentric, a letdown, assured to be fully skeptic Vexing Waxing Lasting Masking In a garden of my own doom, you are the most poisonous flower to bloom

I peel black time and expose the layers, Taste at the rinds different tastes to savor Project my mind to different places, Death is coming and it wears our faces Don’t keep us waiting and anticipating Patience is fading, but fear is pervading My eyes are open wide Blackout the sky, death in their eyes We won’t abide, waiting for death to Blackout the sky, death in their eyes I won’t abide, waiting for death to arrive blood drunk and freshly crowned Introspection, isolation I will be removed Cognitively coalescing We will be subdued Warn the masses, remain passive Either way I lose Ignorant and egotistic, We will get our due They say that death rides a white horse, but I know death rides a wave This wave is made of man and machine, and we will all be enslaved I’ve seen who the enemy is, I know we’re one in the same But there’s one who still hides his face, to conquer Earth is his aim The place they come from looks just like a doppelgänger of our planet juxtaposed next to a dying star All I want is to see the look in their eyes, forced to see the catastrophe realized Countless horrors are brought to life in my dreams When will we bow our heads to this grim regime? Blackout the sky, death in their eyes We won’t abide, waiting for death to Blackout the sky, death in their eyes I won’t abide, waiting for death to arrive blood drunk and freshly crowned I have grasped the key I can finally see the mirror was facing me I feel the shame And it makes me sick Shame So fucking sick I awake to the madness of insight knocking Forget God’s love We are all fucked

Dreamspeak 02:41
Can you hear me duplicate? You are nothing more than a cheap counterfeit What have you got left to hide? My hands are clean I’ll let my conscience be my guide We are the same We have both felt the same pain I will ignore and run away from you Next door eyesore, can’t hide away from you Safe From you

Last night I had a dream that I tried To warn you of the things that I’ve seen and done, It’s all for nothing! So stand for something! The hardest pill to swallow comes from my own hand, I close my fist and spread its message all across this land Just listen to me It’s hard to force-feed knowledge to the vastly ignorant, I wonder if the death of all man could be imminent? Just listen to me Sometimes I wonder, what comes from under All of these feelings, what are their meanings? Sometimes I wonder, what comes from under? You’ve wasted your time with all the monotony Could it already have been decided? Which reality will be divided? It never stops It never quits Go! Like an itch waiting to be scratched out, Like a name on a grave, It’s the long goodbye wave Always looming, always creeping Never answers, never cares Keep this secret, never speak it Keep your mouth shut ’til the end But now I’ve seen that they have caught us blind, And this story is how I lost my mind We don’t forgive I have kept what I can’t possess, In hopes of what I can reach It slipped through my fingers like sand, It drains my will like a leech It lives inside of my conscience, It hides my only lie Piece together the picture Now, for the last time, We don’t forgive Last night I had a dream that I died I warned you of the things that I’ve seen and done It’s all for nothing, I died for this! And now I’ve seen that death has come for me Now I’m free to silence my disregarded plea

Extension 06:31
Who is wearing my skin? I keep wasting my time I’m frozen in place, on the line All these questions, all the time So dismiss what you’re told, Anything you can see Can be manipulated, Feelings invalidated Deep in my dreams, Nothing is what it seems Hellish sights, Mean sleepless nights Cause to believe It is too late to grieve What’s the point? Fears unvoiced I give my life for second sight Which I’ll use to steal the shine in his eye, The reason they’re here, How they cracked the sky The blood in my veins, The thoughts in my head, All will become one or we will all be bled But I begin to see the fruits of my labor This cosmic intrusion has shackled my beliefs When everything you’ve ever known has passed to dust you will receive an empty throne When I see my reflection I feel the contention for my fate as a social pariah Can I resign fate? Hopelessness Waxing now Then in an instant, I am standing before myself The soul of extension, Woven through my frame, I feel the control A power surge, Twisting my words Lifting this curse, Minds have converged I have become one Vacation on the sun Burn on Listen closely, All you can see is but one speck in your memory Your life combined with more timelines is the answer to your concern When we are the same, Who is left to blame? Who is left to blame? I will drag my own weight up this mountain, By my teeth, if I must When I reach the apex, Suspect and perplexed, Will I be enough? When we are the same, Who is left to blame? I am blameless I am blameless

Convergence 06:36
Unfortunate, Sad sacrifice, Your blood and your Earth won’t go to waste My eyes burn like the sunset on a nuclear dawn Blinded by my own resent, Burning to forget all of these memories But for the first time, My stars have aligned Present and concise, No need for disguise I will seize your mind and reign in this wild fascination Don’t you close your eyes, Sleep will bring my conscious closer to you Face to face in my dreams, I can’t hide (I spy) Force my mind open from the inside With my little eye, I can see all Cue the curtain call Can you feel it rising up inside your mind? Bemused deluge, suffocate beneath the tide Endless struggle, drowning victims never saved Back and forth we grind against the waves We grind against the waves I surface just in time to catch a view of my rescue “Force us both together and the universe will be renewed” I hear a new voice echoing inside my conscience What is this? Feel the fist From my grip, You won’t slip Cornered dog, Won’t be long Demagogue, Don’t belong These will be the last words that you say Coexistence, Close the distance I’ll bring you into me, I’ll help you to perceive What I’ve been trying to say, You wouldn’t listen anyway You want the end? I’ll bring the end Shifting faces, Different places We’re all the same, And we’re all to blame We both might share the same face, But we both lost the rat race Now bring it in, I’ll absolve your sin I’ve been asleep I’ve been asleep, for such a long time has passed me by And while I slumbered While I slumbered the wolves were found bearing down on me I’ve felt the fear I’ve felt the fear and I keep it near to our collective heart Please forgive me Please forgive me for I was lost, but now I am found
