lyrics

Time moves slowly (Barely breathing)
Anger showing (Clear the breach)

(Sound will follow)
Reality holds its breath for this timeline
(Move into view)
Distorted in the moments before the storm revealed
(Shallow water)
Neurons of the stolen men with tired eyes
(Smooths the transition)
The fear designed to save is now the fear that kills

Dig in deeper (Take all you can)
Drawn in quicker (Makes you high)

Labored vision (No emotion)
Shattered focus (Passion misfire)

(New age, old face) Aim for the entrance
(Progress blurs time) Essential arms
(New muse, old race) Gather your senses
(Instinct defiled) Leaves room for insurance

Five fateful emergent understandings
Taken hostage without slight pretense
Corpses familiar turn beautiful life towards the unknown
Confusion alluding to knowledge not stored
Likely robbed before their birth a thousand years before
Human capacitors
Blind hollow monuments of all men’s fear
(Locked on and ready to fire)

Lives before God trading secrets
Beyond the capacity inside the heart of men
Compassion that crushes their logical ability
To save themselves
Consciousness rains everywhere like lasers
Towering dreams catalogued on these prison walls
Acres of cities flicker and fade in their lifeless eyes
(Ignition and into the grid)
