1. Leaders
Leaders come
Stand in line
Reveal your true self & conform
I sold my song
Crossed the borderline
I found something I'd never adjust to
Come here
I've Paid up for you
I have sold my weakness too
Come here
I split my heart in two
But you don't have it in you
Do you
Carbon soul
Transparent & played out
See you soon in non-fiction
I sold my song
My mouth was sewn
but it's coming undone & that's why I sold out
2. Deliberation
Visions come
Visions come
In a sickroom bed
There's something left to learn
Pass them on
Let it show
Let the rich meet death
Confront our own concern
See us sleep behind the glass
Unaware of crime
Will you wake us up before it is time
The red circle holds the only light
Break down my perspective
And notify everyone when the time is right
My mouth remains inactive
So when you let me in
You let me justify my own reward
You put your hands on me
And I learn the words I didn't know before
I am ice
I am clear
Let the world be cold
Our deliberation
Pass them on
Let it show
Let the words come slow
Your constant incantation
Repeating cycle of light/no light
There's nothing in the airspace
There's no one in the airspace
Repeating cycle of love/no love
3. Soil's Song
False
The dream is so far
Come and take the consequence
Few things are as certain
Winter state
Oppressive wait
Evacuate
Assemble here
Soil's song
In your throat
Future death
In your reach
Who's first
Ok
Mask
Your face well hidden
Keep your last words in your hand
Fold it and open up
Time to go
Release the glow
4. My Twin
The neck and then the chain
The head is hung in shame
I thought that you had grown
That you would carry on
But now that I have gone
What else has been withdrawn
You used to be like my twin
And all that's been
Was it all for nothing
Are you strong when you're with him
The one who's placed you above us all
I think of love
I let it pass
It feels like fire
But it won't last
What is it coming to
I'm unwilling to go on
You have lost
No one has won
5. Consternation
Wave back at me
Back is turned
If I fail once
Circuit burn
Saw you in the lampglow
You fade
Nothingness incarnate
Until I get there
Hidden
I will be
Consternation
Internal source
overthrowing
Stray from course
6. Follower
Hurts to see
My incapacity
Shame
Idle mind
No
You have changed me
My mouth is shut
Stupidity have shut my mouth
So when you come
I'm too unprepared to come along
I hold your hand so hard my knuckles turn white
When you clear the streets
And kill the lights
See the line
Border to freedom
The words
Underlined
My name
You have changed it
Your tone change to cool
This is how you tell me once again
How I have nothing on you
How everything is supposed to end
Father
I won't make it
It's the journey of a life
Fix my eyes on the sun
What have I done
7. Rusted
A rush through the rusted veins
Illuminate the face of one
So i have a light
So unaware about the consequence
I heard no warning
About the little compromise
The distorted views you had
Cold white spring
A wordless song I sing
Eye
White cloud
All my thoughts are in doubt
8. Increase
Vapor
As thin as it gets
I stare right through
The severe sickness in this room
Not mine
It comes from you
Soul cold
Indeed
There won't be a time when I'm at ease
Increase coldness
Increase ignorance
Please
Rewind and look at you
As on film
You will see a mask of shame
I think you will
Perceive
Your position in life
So unworthy
Find and twist the answer
Save no one from harm
As seen in the vision
Sick sleep sick dead earth
9. July
You come clean
Waves collide now
Defenseless numb arms
And no voice of reason
So how come you invited me too
You knew I wanted you
You glide above
So this night belongs to you
I know this isn't through
Are you dead to love
I see the bright lights
It's the month of July
It's violent here
Why have you left me
If only you could stay
And keep me in
It's violent here
Why did you run from me
Heat
Night devour me
Repeat
Repetition
10. In The White
Are you in or are you out
The words are stones in my mouth
Hush little baby don't you cry
Truth comes down
Strikes me in the eye
Turning season within
Brand new nails across my skin
But who am I to imply
That I was found
That I found you in the white
To overcome this
I become one with
The quiet cold of late November
If you don't see
I'll remain unseen
Until there's time to be remembered
So I had a green light
I was lost in city lights
Not so far from a try
This is not our last goodbye
So I found you
Found a way all through
The quiet cold of inner darkness
And now that you're here
It becomes so clear
I have waited for you always
11. The Itch
Movement
Subdued back then
So quiet now
Subsequent
Systematic violence
The great cold distance
The itch
The urge
Make way
Think of something
Thin out the fear
Past the tracks
Part the Ways
One stand here
Medicate
Kill the itch
Check the air
And push to get there
Monochrome
Symbol on the surface
Reduced Illumination
Chemical Inheritance
The lies
The Fever
12. Journey Through Pressure
Pushing the will
Being alive
Well I have been
I came far
The process of trying
To act unharmed
It will fade out
Thoughts will unwind
No longer mine
They are for you
When you come
So long
I'm cutting here
And the water's blood
When you come
The sky moves faster at this time of year
