somehow I can feel it
but we cannot see it
the plague that we've become
there is no hope
there is no way
the beauty of our minds turned gray
we've gone blind
resigned mankind
born in a sea of diamonds
immaculate tragedy on a new horizon
millions lost alone merely strung together
by never ending moments ignored forever
we are the great mistake
the great mistake is mankind
inhale in the air we poisoned
exhale the lunacy
we are the culprit of our own fatuity
oh what a shame that blessed be our name yet blessed be our burden
can't you see it with your eyes?
we're running out of time
complacency is ignorance,
the flaw in our design
and if the whole world is blind
will we still stand out in time?
as long as this world stays imperfect
destiny won't be kind.
deaf from the volume of silence
the absence of humanity for all around us
sifting through the fiction of a broken system
we only fear the snake when we become the victim
we are the great mistake
the great mistake is mankind
rise, become the senses in the senseless mind
fall, and choke on the very hand that feeds you
ignite, awake the unawoken
fade, and fall into an unmarked grave

The Dream of Life

This can't be the end,
We've only just begun.
I've been blinded,
I've been misguided.
Why fight if all is already lost?
Why live for nothing if there's a cost?
Everything I've ever known has led me to an empty throne.
You know how the sound of rain feels.
There's no need to say, "I have to stay."
At the edge of the earth on my heels,
I'm not lost, I'm on my way.
I've had this dream a thousand times,
A thousand nights, a thousand lives.
Never ending, boundless volition.
Possibility comes to fruition.
All lights, no exit signs.
I'm not lost.

Why?
Why is life not where we are right now?
From wind to wave
become the trough and crest
twist and shift with the flow
The waves are the ocean
as we are existence
It is one with us as we are with it
We rise and we fall with the tide
Way beyond our civilization
There's still time for a release
In the darkest hour
They still won't fail to catch us at all
I feel like I’m waking up after never going to sleep
Coast as you may
We’re living for today
Drift on and on and on
Why the panic?
Why the rush?
To find meaning more than ourselves?
We’re devolving,
Fight against the minds that are not your own
It's the shift
The rise and set of the sun
We must breathe
We must shine the sun
Cast the sun a bounty
Buried under
Waltzing light escapes
The soul remains
A violent vessel
clearing out to reach
the air around us
bearing all the weight
led them under
captive vaults awake
It’s all around us
gave the walls a break
all that bound us
gazing underneath
A masquerade
In a world without faces, we dance away
In the loneliest places
In a world without faces, we dance away.
Way beyond our civilization
There's still time for a release
In the darkest hour
They still won't fail to catch us at all
The waves are the ocean
As we are existence
It is one with us as we are with it
We rise and we fall with the tide

Ellipsism
04:24
|

Why are we the lost,
Abandoned, left behind?
All the world has lost its mind.
Compassion fades and fades with time.
Why are we forgotten,
Forsaken, cast aside?
All the world has lost its mind.
Empathy fades and fades with time.
Chase lie with lie after lie.
Set us free.
Hear our cries.
Lost, forsaken,
Forgotten,
Cast aside.
Lies, lies, lies.

Painted Life

We always remember the way it used to be.
The fail, the fight, the endless saga of defeat.
Frozen, scarred hands clinging to reflections,
The longing for truth, desire for perfection.
We are blind with our two eyes.
I've been torn apart just to try to find some peace of mind.
Please tell me how can I describe the vivid colors? Painted Life?
Painted Life.
I cannot describe the beauty in the eye.
Beauty, in the eye.
Beauty, it's in our eyes.
Beauty, it's in our minds.
I can feel my heart screaming out to me, "wander home."
My weary eyes won't seem to hold.
I'm only broken for now.
In spite of the offset after life,
The eye will enter in.
In spite of the offset after life,
We'll try to find some peace of mind.
No, we can't replace what's left behind,
But there's no such thing as time.
Onward, through the flight of the fall.
The eye will answer your call.
Painted Life.
