feel the weight tip the scale below proportioned powers where the light was meant to grow cast aside left behind now, we all demand achievement for our hard work the sentiment, you'll find that it's too hard to ignore and without reward, you'll find it's hard to motivate at all but if we ain't hungry, why cannibalize the poor? left to die let the strong survive yeah right you feel the weight tip the scale below proportioned powers where the light was meant to grow now you know, with a lack of balance caused by those who would tip the boat it takes it's toll on the world that strives to stay afloat too far to one side you'll find the greedy and the selfish thrive polarized, well, you'd find outright denial of it all when all in all, when it balances we find the peace of mind and the life will carry on and on let it carry on spent all your life in adoration of the golden mean with the fears below so rock the boat in moderation till the counterweight gets heavy, take back control set us back on course 'till you feel the weight you know proportioned power's where the light was meant to grow now you know, with a lack of balance caused by those who would tip the boat it takes it's toll on the world that strives to stay afloat too far to one side you'll find the greedy and the selfish, they thrive polarized, well, you'd find outright denial of it all when all in all, when it balances we find the peace of mind and the light will carry on beauty is truth truth is beauty that is all you'll know within this world and it's all you need to know to save your soul

Être 04:20
I've been watching the world felt the heat of the after burn the black bridges behind you burn reminders of what you'll learn when you drown on your return 'cause in the air there's a quiet sense I see right through you and I'm better than this hope you're havin' a ball I hope you're clinkin' your glasses while they're full 'cause in the end what you deserve, it's comin' full circle and you'll get what you deserve you and I are opposed your intentions are yours alone you are entangled in all you know think it's high time to let it show 'cause in the end it's all you'll know and in the air there's a quiet sense I see right through you and I'm better than this hope you're havin' a ball I hope you're clinkin' your glasses while they're full 'cause in the end what you deserve, it's comin' full circle it takes time... karmatic intervals... and you can sleep in the bed that you made it takes time you'll be reaping what you sow when you find out the hard way I'll be watching from afar well you know you'd be honest if you were true to who you are 'cause in the air there's a quiet sense I see right through you and I'm better than this hope you're havin' a ball I hope you're clinkin' your glasses while they're full 'cause in the end what you deserve, well it's all comin' full circle and you'll be having the time of your life in the afterworld yeah... you think you've figured it out but in the end you'll get what you deserve

when I began, the world, it gave me little time left in the womb, well I would be left to die time was slipping through the hourglass and I can't deny it, I owe my life to disrupting that well... timing's everything it's everything but though the moment comes and goes believe if the time was right for you to meet your ghost, you would throughout this life I've been asleep inside of time I cannot fight it, I've ingrained it in my mind time is slipping through the hourglass right here, right now I just can't wait for the time to pass and well... timing's everything it's everything but though the moment comes and goes believe if the time was right for you to meet your ghost, you would you'd find your hard earned soul as one within it all you'll see beyond our "dimensia" I believe there is a plane above our minds past the constraints of time connect to the divine see it live, (at the same time, while you) see it die and ask yourself why well I believe there is a plane beyond the bounds of time well I can't deny myself, 'cause I don't have the right I search for answers still 'cause I am of the conscious open mind time is shattering the hourglass and I fear the change, but I just can't wait for the aftermath yeah, well... timing's everything it's everything but though the moment comes and goes believe if the time was right for you to meet your ghost, you would you know you would all this time has come to pass when all the while there was the hourglass

we're only light years away let's get carried away create extravagant display when seen from beyond our world well, the darkness perforates with the power to light these skies comes the blinders on our eyes when all along these ancient sights have shined where burning fires are road signs still reaching for the eyes as the night is falling I will watch from afar see the glow from the city be replaced by the stars that great beyond I keep asking myself where have they gone? in this relation, the Drake equates the worlds beyond our skies the wisdom of ghosts denied then lost in sands of time the blinding Babel, built so high the fire scrapes the sky for all below, we live without the right to see beyond the bright and feed that meaning of the night as the darkness, it conquers the light I will watch from afar see the glow from the city be replaced by the stars that great beyond I feel humbled, myself I look above well they saw us arise saw us arrive with God as a witness they'll see the great decline feeling a low to hide in the glow, below well it'd be like denying myself the rites of old let's get carried away... we're only light years away... from home I'll see you when the darkness falls

oh, when it's all said and done, well you know it's greener in the comfort of the sun until when in the comfort of green well, you'll finally learn what it actually means to inhale perception and feel it separate and then the instant your misguided fear is erased, replaced it's time to make my case find a light in the darkest place go slow discover the afterglow you know, to blindly believe well it just shows your naivety your need to feel the green and oh, if I told you the truth, well you'd probably think that I'm a liar think what you will cause I can see through the seams in this pocket the world has provided for me empowered I've been breathing through the looking glass so while the rest of you wait for the smoke to pass I'll inhale perception and feel it separate and then the instant your misguided fear is erased, replaced it's time to make my case light up the darkness go slow discover the afterglow you know, to blindly believe well it just shows your naivety the need to feel the green well, your misconceptions are eating at me tales of our fathers' misguided greed your misconceptions are tales of misguided reality so please, you've got to go slow discover the afterglow to blindly believe you know it shows your naivety the need to feel it breathe the need to feel the green

the Itch 03:17
beyond the edge of our exterior the itch begins to grow we could try and scratch ourselves but I just can't help but feel beside myself, when I'm alone eyes are stealing glances of you stop, shy away when you cast your eyes at me cause it makes me feel like a coward and a thief but oh, you know, beyond the edge of our exterior the itch begins to grow we could try to scratch ourselves but I just can't help but feel beside myself, when I'm alone what's the spell you've cast upon me? what do you see when you look at me? and subconsciously you know I know what you need what you need is me stay with me well, Lord knows I'm a gentleman and I can be sweet but underneath I am a beast and I want you to come with me I'm gonna take you home scratch the surface of your soul beyond the edge of our exterior the itch begins to grow we could try to scratch ourselves but I just can't help but feel beside myself, when I'm alone when I'm on my own, and time to carry it home, yeah, you'll see right, it was meant to be oh, I'm on fire I'm in need come to me

well there's a strange new kind of war you may think that you're safe it's already in your home so be afraid living in this world never try to escape it's not safe inside these walls you'll feel it again controlled by fear, fall into their service and then with absence of thought if you break down and let them into your head you're already dead now there's a plague of hypnotic horror our eyes are transfixed and we're the hive-mind hoard and if you think you could be something more you're completely insane that's right, you're in the wrong you'll feel it again controlled by fear, fall into their service and then with absence of thought if you break down and let them into your head you're already dead and this is the waking of the fallen get out of our head walking undead your lying has caused this unrest this is the call of the forgotten get out of our head walking undead your lying has caused this unrest so get out of my head now there's a violent fate that will befall us all there's already a patsy in place, ready to take that fall you'll never see through this blinding fog we report, you decide you know the sky? it's about to fall you'll feel it again controlled by fear, fall into their service with absence of thought, if you break down and let them into your head you're already dead and this is the waking of the fallen get out of our head walking undead your lies have caused this unrest again this is it, the call of the forgotten get out of our head you're lying and we're walking undead so get out of my head

deNihilism! 06:45
under the lullaby moves a silence feared by most we shut our eyes, just to rest for a while but the nightmare, well it's woken us up in the end given more than you've taken away tried hard we learn thinkin' of your mistakes and save for the darkness there's no other way for the dawn to break our demise set the planet alight but the cycle promotes a growth we stumbled blind for a short little while but the fire rallied our eyes to adjust in the end given more than you've taken away tried hard we learn thinkin' of your mistakes and save for the darkness there's no other way for the dawn to break you know time will make this right, it's time to go it starts with a cycle with a circle now you could deny my right to criticize cause your dominion, well it don't see to my life but don't you dare close my eyes we've been watching like a bird in flight right? a goodnight, a goodbye we'll crowd around to see you die when all of this time with your pride you've been part of churning out the wise you've been fired you've been catalyzed if your failures had all been for not would we still be your fools or what? what's this feeling you cannot ignore? you've revived the informed in the end given more than you've taken away tried hard we learn thinkin' of your mistakes save for the darkness there's no other way for the dawn to break you know time will make this right, it's time to go it ends with a cycle with a circle

Still 04:43
so if the plan is moving forward let's cut the brakes as we roll along you know it's tricky pulling over watch me crash into the wall just leave me dying on the bloody floor they always do things have changed it's so much brighter than it was before and all these things were killing me till I decided I should let it be and as the time was moving onward well I've come to count on you one and all and with the rest all safely wired still you make me me take the fall just leave me dying on the bloody floor they always do things have changed it's so much brighter than it was before and all these things were killing me till I decided I should let it be I need you to see I'm on it I breathe I'm on it perceive I'm on it I bleed I'm on it, believe in the same way we've all been dying to rest here in peace (I'm still alive when I breathe) in the same way they're all allying to keep you in need (it's what I choose to believe) it's the same thing, keeps you off your knees I know I've seen this all before I bleed I know I've been here once before and I bleed just to see inside of me I know I must be doing something wrong but I've been dying to make you see see me dying on the floor the angels passing over bloody doors well they always do the same thing but so much brighter than it was before and all these things were killing me till I decided I should let it be I let it be

at first the faith was blind then evolved a rational mind and all these things we ask ourselves will I face judgment for all the things I've said and done? should I resign myself to a power up above? does any facet have the answer yet? I need to know the unknown and all these things we ask ourselves if I came to find this light would it guide my way along? should I define what's right by what others say is wrong? does any facet have the answer? I need to know the unknown but all your answers unwittingly were lying through your teeth this illogical blasphemy is blinding what the truth could be you're on your knees you need your eyes open to see let light in bless your heart till it's all you need till it's all you need so, looking back broken fragments of ancient lore echoes of all through the ages and on these shoulders stand the giants of our faith but the rest was out of date looking forward moving onward the way things are theories and reasons for everything that doesn't mean, my friends, that seeing is belief maybe the science is without faith maybe the faith is blind maybe the science answers how and the faith is a why while the faith is asking why the science is how | spirit said, the science is asking how | feel it and we'll figure it out said, the science is asking how | spirit asks why let's be reasonable about this the science is how | feel it asking why why? beating hearts... and all these things we ask ourselves if I could define this life, would I find my way to love? should I align myself with a power up above? does any facet have the answer yet? I need to know the unknown
