Trigger

Fold your hands, it's time to pray.
As if it will make this all go away.
Try as you might, you can't scream.
Intertwine real life and dream.
Everything becomes a trigger,
The precipice is getting bigger.
You're not alone, you're with me.
Force you through this tragedy.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
I'm even here outside.
I am your god, you will obey.
I'll tell you again, you're gonna pay.
Who fucking cares what you did?
I'll wipe your face straight off the grid.
I am the end of everything,
There isn't enough that hope could bring.
The air you breathe,
You start to seethe,
So you should know,
I'll never go.

Colossal

|
Standing on the brow, I see the storm is coming.
So much more than I expected, it's gonna rain.
Here I am, insignificant beneath you.
Moving forward, the hill gets steeper. What can I gain.
My steps are heavy, thunder rolling, it's all an endless tread.
Whispering to myself that it's all only in my head.
I need to collect myself for just a moment of your time.
But push and force as you may as if you're so divine.
Pierce the heavens just to look down onto me.
Tear the sky apart and shut away my plea.
This is never what I wanted when I came here tonight.
As if you own me, as if you control me. What gives you the right?
Knowing that I can do so much better, but only in my sleep.
There is no other way around you, this fight I must upkeep.
A fall would not be accidental it's just the way you planned.
I don't want to listen while you yell, I hope you understand.
Endless ascension, no further questions, how original of you.
I just need another way around I hope this can be true.
Pierce the heavens just to look down onto me.
Tear the sky apart and shut away my plea.
If you're so colossal, am I just docile?

Collapse
04:42
|
|||
|
I'm running out of things to depend on.
Every scratch, every scab, everything you left behind.
Now I hate myself because of everything you are.
What you said, what you did, left with things I'll never find.
I abide and waste my time,
Slowly as I walk the line,
The foundations cracks and snaps,
Breathe in, begin, exhale, collapse.
When you're gone, a piece always remain.
Then it grows and it forms, resurrection begins.
Do I know who you are? A mirror staring back.
Close my eyes, say goodbye, wash away the sins.
I abide and waste my time,
Slowly as I walk the line,
The foundations cracks and snaps,
Breathe in, begin, exhale, collapse.
Fall apart, losing my abilities.
Led astray, waste away, isn't this what you wanted?
You return, let me burn, some things never change.
Slipped into one more void, now I'm living haunted.
I abide and waste my time,
Slowly as I walk the line,
The foundations cracks and snaps,
Breathe in, begin, exhale, collapse.
I abide and waste my time,
Slowly as I walk the line,
The foundations cracks and snaps,
Breathe in, begin, exhale, collapse.

Bury The Static
07:18
|
|||
|
Standing just outside of me, a shell with its eyes closed.
Laying prone and silently, barely composed.
I move away, I don't want to see what's shown.
The noise it comes and leads me astray, leave it baron and alone.
I pass through shapes and sound, no perceivable colour.
Suspended animation, no one around.
Everything bleeds from one into the other.
The static that surrounds me, consuming when I fight.
Even if I'm still lost in here, just bury it in the ground tonight.
Now I know what I should do, or is it another ruse?
Promises of another side meant only to confuse.
Keep digging deeper, as far as you can go.
I choose to believe there's nothing to see, except another low.
My burden to bare, I'll take it down with me.
Just by myself and no one else, and I'll go quietly.
The static is coming, the lone form within my sight.
Even if I beg you to stop, please bury me in the ground tonight.

Final Warning
03:34
|
|||
|
How much lower can I go?
Is it even something I'm meant to know?
I know you're listening to me,
Options aren't chosen carefully.
You really like to make your presence known.
Opportunistic when I'm prone.
I dug a hole for the both of us to lie,
Or is it that much sweeter when I try?
I'm not ignorant to this.
I know that this is my final warning from you, but what am I supposed to do?
If you want me to lay down and die,
Then I'll make enough room for two.
All of the nights you keep me awake.
Testing my patience and will I break?
You feel no sorrow, guilt or shame,
Planning what comes next outside the frame.
I know you're closely watching me.
Keep me in line and never free.
If I would open you'd go away.
But you never wanted me to stay.
I'm not ignorant to this.
I know that this is my final warning from you, but what am I supposed to do?
If you want me to lay down and die,
Then I'll make enough room for two.
I'm not ignorant to this.
I know that this is my final warning from you, but what am I supposed to do?
If you want me to lay down and die,
Then I'll make enough room for two.

The Echoes
04:01
|

|
The echoes are the sounds that are coming from all around, and I'm listening.
The echoes lead me down to a place where I won't be found, and I'm listening.
The echoes are the sounds that will leave me to drown, and I'm listening.
The echoes lead me down further and further into the ground, and I'm listening.
Just a voice among the shadows.
The echoes bouncing back are preparing to attack, and I'm listening.
The echoes come to stay, they take everything away, and I'm listening.
The echoes bouncing back will kill me for what I lack, and I'm listening.
The echoes come to stay and I know that I'm gonna pay, and I'm listening.
Just a voice among the shadows.
The echoes are coming through and they'll find their way to you, and I'm listening.
The echoes ring in me so it's all that I can be, so I'm listening.
The echoes are coming through and their words are all coming true, so I'm listening.
The echoes ring in me, now I will never be free, because I'm listening.
I know where this is going, I've seen it all before.
It's nothing and everything, but I don't care any more.

The Walls
08:42
|
|||
|
Everything has always led back to this place.
Even if I run away, I'm still forced to embrace.
The ending comes, then my heart succumbs.
Going back to where all of this came from.
This is where I'm meant to be, it's familiar to me.
Standing high and endlessly, the walls are all I see.
You told me so, there's nowhere to go.
Here I am where nothing new ever seems to grow.
When did this begin?
They keep closing in.
When did this begin?
They keep closing in.
A precipice of many forms, I stare into its void.
Negligence to make me feel defeated and destroyed.
It's worth a try to find the sky.
But there's no resemblance for me to go by.
Discipline begins to fail, you have me on my knees.
Thinking there could be a chance, but you can't be appeased.
I try to call, it's no use at all.
The echoes ricochet directly off the walls.
When did this begin?
They keep closing in.
When did this begin?
They keep closing in.
Imagining you, but seeing me.
Wanting I, but knowing we.
When did all of this begin?
Now the walls come closing in.
Moving shapes bleed into black.
Sense of time, I'm losing track.
I think I'm getting to an end.
But the walls are closing in again.
When did this begin?
They keep closing in.
When did this begin?
They keep closing in.
When did this begin?
They keep closing in.
When did this begin?
They keep closing in.
When did this begin?
They keep closing in.
