Sinnespalatset 10:15
lyrics

Dysfunktionens elegans Har du någonsin befunnit dig någon annanstans? Klaustrofobiskt inåtvänd En uppdämd flod av avsky, ständigt fylld till bristningsgränsen Avtrubbad bortom synd och fromhet Hemmastadd i ett liv av tomhet Snart finns bara längtan kvar Din gömda trädgård står och ruttnar bakom stängda portar Enslighetens harmoni Du visste säkert att det var så här det skulle bli Varje dag krymper fönstret - Tiden kvar till att bryta mönstret Dina lustar för din talan; blir din mening Varje spår av högre syfte tynar bort Blott i tyngdlös, drömlös dvala når du rening I sinnets stiltje, bakom stängda ögonlock Ändå blir du besviken av att se att vi är precis som du Kalla hycklare, regerade av drifter, fördomar och komplex Kulisserna rivs itu Du var aldrig inget Men du blev aldrig något Lotsad hamn till hamn av tröstens vind på hoppets vågor Det räckte ej att vilja - Du gjorde ingen skillnad Du gjorde ingen skillnad

Facade 08:37

And so, the behemoth crumbles From the sun, our sworn protector Collapse, reducing inertia As the paint once dry has started to peel We watched, we breathed the ash Like flies on the wall, the derelict sons and daughters of apatheia Letting deities dissolve And monuments shatter We scrape by, feeding off the grains But like rats, we eat, All on the platter Until choking on what remains We now stand With a blatant disregard for that which is holy, letting Deities dissolve And monuments shatter May the earth reabsorb our existence In a decade, from coinage to carrion Ramshackle shelters where once steel arches loomed Former streets erode into gravelly canyons Carving deep a tale of simian doom We clung so desperately, trying to mend The widening disconnect to the we fauna we fled We watched this, breathed the ash As the rats in the walls, royally lumped together, as we brace for the fall Letting deities dissolve And monuments shatter We scrape by, feeding off of the grains But like rats, we eat, All on the platter Until choking on what remains We now stand With a blatant disregard for that which is holy, letting Deities dissolve And monuments shatter May the earth reabsorb our existence Eden no longer remembers our names Neglect has fueled dementia And as God plays dice with us all, I swear, the luscious plains devolve

Hyper Nation 05:29
lyrics

Ravenous whirlpools in the gutter Iron teeth lurking ‘neath the surface Sweet pitch black december dystopia Miserably wet with what should've been snowfall Currently out of office Closed until further notice Vacant storefronts promise no warmth Everything must go, and so everyone went But I remained Aimlessly I wander Neurochemically inert Lured into this tomb of a city Paving stones like scorched earth Glancing up, envisioning the blinding light of day Incandescent landscapes burning through the canopy A parenthesis in paragraphs of grey I must escape Devolved instincts of hibernation Make their presence known up north Anxiously we seek sedation Ushering the days forth And to think we traded sunlit plains for this I shake my head and journey on into the nothingness And as ashen spires encapsulate my world I reminisce

Indifference, a reoccurring theme We're pissing down a landfill of dilapidated dreams It all seems distant - as if out of our control Fast-forwarding existence While we ease into our suffocating molds This was meant for you Tantalizing pipe dreams: A pastime free of charge On the run from the world and yourself all at once Caught in the narrowing gap Between all that surrounds you And all that you are Surrender and break free of your restraints Gently close your eyes and it feels like falling Faint echoes of escape Retransmit these thoughts off to somewhere we're not Pleading for justice, put your trust in thin air Leaving, neglecting what's in fact there Ett hjärtslag (one heartbeat) i sänder (at a time) Vi sänder inifrån (we transmit from within) Vårt budskap (our message), transponder - låt det ej förgås (perish not) Vi famlar (we stumble) i mörkret (in darkness) på levnadslustens gräns (on the brink of life) Vi bönar (we beg you), transponder, bär vår frekvens (carry us)

Reluctant Reemergence 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Backlit silhouettes Framed by a golden halo The tranquil groves brought back to life Maple branches join the zephyr In unison they sing As the droplets in their manes refract the evening light This is what I've come to love Oaken vaults of timeless patience Uncaring, unknowing - If I only knew how And is this not what you claim to love? You've a violent way of loving Do these barbed wire fences somehow signify hope? You've set fire to the land we were once taught to share Corrupted the meanings of epics and effigies Spare my senses your soul-sucking vitriol How did patriots end up this pitiful Fuck your delusional wet dreams of the past They've never held true and they never last In your midst my pride feels like shame Now the branches are shrieking and crackling in flames In time you'll be gone, you won't be missed It's time you live as you learn and left

Become Different 06:31
lyrics

When will I become different I'm still waiting, you know How could I become different Can't be done, I'm told Feigning composure again Awaiting the storm These ripples are miniscule, but always present Won't take much for waves to form Why does faking always pay off While attempts amount to nothing This vapid projection of self love Told by selves worth loving In the end, our struggles and scribbles Are all met with celestial indifference Our lines drawn in sands next to macrocosmic tides, they're soon extinguished If only I weren't so conditioned To tarnish all pleasure with doubt If only I'd gain some perspective Get out of my head just this once But I've tried looking in from the outside And somehow it all just gets worse A tightrope of forced introspection Is mine to traverse Waiting Holding on When did I become different I must've missed it in my sleep All I know is the picture in the passport Shows a face I can only just remember

Återblick 09:53
lyrics

Branta klippor kantar vår stig Krönet vältrar sig fåfängt i det disiga skenet Hur kan något så nära verka så främmande? Silkeslen svärta sluter sig sakta runt minnet En spjäla har lossnat i stängslet av kolsvart gjutjärn Och bildat en reva i tillvarons hägn, En tillfällig tillflykt från lustgårdens lekplats Som syddes igen med metalliska stygn Återigen blickandes genom stängslet Denna gång i motsatt riktning Idyllens grönska, till synes obefläckad Ack, som den hägrar, ack, som den gäckar Raderad, tillintetgjord Och precis utom räckhåll För nu ser jag en till låst port Utan nyckel Våra kroppar skrider sakta mot slutet Nu kan aldrig bli då Och trots att jag ingenting hellre vill än att stanna Så måste jag gå Nu måste jag gå Nu måste jag gå
