The Machine 03:06
The Machine Time divides my mind Between the ebb and flow Of my desire to be More than a ghost in the machine Most than a crutch for your disease I am the truth that’s unfolding You are the Machine You are the Machine And I don’t wanna play with you Fire burns inside, no understanding Only vacant eyes I’ve seen the way it’s always been No witness, no enlightening Asleep in our own apathy You are the Machine You are the Machine And I don’t wanna play with you I don’t wanna play with you I don’t wanna play with you I don’t wanna play with you

For you 03:18
For You Captured in ethereality in the Ambrosium unfolding lifelessly in me A self-concocting dream delicately surreal it seems It waits for me to breathe The light that burns Burns Burns It burns Burns Burns But I’ll wait here for you Till the dawn breaks anew In shade the shadow takes my sheen Am I confused inside? It laughs and takes away my view Blood rushes from within en masse we are an entity Caress the porous skin I thought I saw you In my Place But I was Dreaming And now I’ll never be open again
3.
Dining on Ashes Dusk walking down a street to nowhere Just like a dream where everything is nothing Inside it feels as though a change is coming Reality is just a cold wet blanket Tonight we dine on ashes Mist crawling through the trees and bushes The houses watch but feel so cold and lifeless The sirens wail awake me from my slumber Darkness like snowflakes falls in suburbia Tonight we dine on ashes They wait in silence pacing forward What savage games a god must play in wonder These corridors are filled with children’s laughter The shadows crawl in suburbia
4.
Illuminate 03:55
Illuminate When I was young, I was afraid to be alone So I wandered through the valleys of the darkest depths I called home And as the time drew near And light became a fragile friend The leaves would wilt and wither as the autumn breeze Called me And then I’d Illuminate And then I walked alone A child raised from a violent tome I clutched the winter solstice like a warming meal It’s so cold
5.
Berated 02:54
Berated When passengers meet passengers They’re on a ride they thought was free And what was once a game is now an ordeal Where I was blind I now can see the view contorts and becomes real and all the time the walls move inch by inch And now I see now I see now I see This is the fear you created This is the sphere When our eyes meet the laws will change as silk on skin ignites the flames Intertwining till we become one Then as the darkness closes in our moving forward will begin till red and blue become a fantasy And now I see now I see now I see This is the fear you created The delicate flower you berated Every day devastated This is the sphere
6.
Wept 03:41
I’ve been waiting here for you Feeling the love that isn’t true Think of all the things you've said They’re burnt and broken in your head And underneath it all you've wept You’ve wept You’ve wept Time is ticking can’t you see And the jokers hand won’t set you free And all lies that you have said Burn with the tears of innocence And underneath it all you've wept You've wept You've wept It's waiting here for you It's waiting here for you
7.
Ebony 04:56
Ebony You wake up one day and you can’t see The things that you’ve done are just not real And then the questions why the teardrops and the lies Am I falling or am I free And it’s so plain We can’t explain it to you To you You wanted to be all you could be The days in the dust a memory They took you by surprise and never told you why We all live inside a dream And it’s so plain We can’t explain it to you To you
8.
The Lost 04:52
The Lost I can feel the change The iridescent face Comes crawling from despair To captivate my dreams The water ripples too Such a black and bitter pool What can I do but look away But then I see it in your face The highway shifts and moves The darkness breaking through Each suicide a dream Of the broken and deceived And on and on and on And on and on and on The end has come and gone And it goes on and on and on I stare into a face It’s strange and out of shape The clock is twisting into view The numbers coil into a noose And as the lines begin to fade The lost come out to play And the daylight never comes As we melt into the sun Nothings going to take me from this place
9.
Winters dream Drain me, sacred energy Coiled like a serpents tail Injected in my vein Now I see through The shrouded paper face It reveals a vast landscape Verdant and perfumed Crawling through the excess until I see what has made me blind Echoing the past in the present before a thousand eyes You know you want to watch but you know you really don’t want to see You know you want to watch but you don’t want to Reveal yourself Awake in a winters dream In the cleft of your beauty Reveal yourself Watching the black sunset This all will end in tears Touch me mould my empathy Inscribed upon this place The sound of a million screams I’ll be renewed In fragments of a mirror maze Lost in the twilight haze Perpetually in tune
10.
Until the End I sat alone enveloped in the skies of the velvet helm on a line outside of time I caught soft dreams like tears of dragons fire in the ebon tide cascading memories I grasped the seams aching for the feel of the energy the draining of my needs Come back and taste the milky-way consistency of dreams and now I truly see Tonight I take a life away And it will come to me this way And everything will ebb away on the breeze To drain the self in sad refrain And watch it slowly dissipate It gradually congeals until I am at one with everything I’m sorry I’m waiting for the wine to rinse me clean Such a delicate bouquet Please forgive me Filter out the thoughts that bring you down The feelings that I bring I want you to see Want you to see this Want you to hear Want you to hear this Want you to feel Want you to feel this Want you to be Want you to be this Tonight I take a life away And it will come to me this way And everything will ebb away, on the breeze To drain the self in sad refrain And watch it slowly dissipate It gradually congeals until I am at one with everything Until the End
