What are these echoes of empire Screaming at me from the dark? Do I sleep and live another life Or wake to steal another? What are you willing to die for? Who are you willing to trust? For I see the distance in your eyes When I hear approaching thunder Son, do you wonder now What kind of life Will you own When this nightmare surrounds us? I recall No miracles I’ll hold on For you If there’s a place we should run to If there’s a road to be on Would you please,just keep me in mind? For I’m still drifting Under Son, do you wonder now What kind of life Will we own When this madness subsides? I recall No miracles I’ll hold on For you

If truth be told we’re turning to dust I was the last so let me be first To lay out these secrets, one and all But the larger the lie the harder they fall This thing, she said, it’s bigger than us We’re looking for exits while stuck in reverse Settling into sinking sand And waking to find I’ve got blood on my hands When to be clear, but not clear at all We’re dowsing the flames of the fire they caused Searching for some kind of weakness to blame They’ll take it apart, but not in my name I feel I have seen it all Do I sit back now and watch it burn? Bound, tired and stuck on this ride There’s no use in planning for somewhere to hide Waiting to see what eventually grows Out of the poisonous seeds that are sown This thing, she said, it’s bigger than us We’re looking for exits while stuck in reverse Settling into sinking sands We’re waking to find we’ve got blood on our hands I feel I have seen it all Do I sit and watch it burn? I hope I will see it all Eventually turn

Slow Clap 04:52
Congratulations The clocks won't slow down The road's been paved If you are leaving Then I can't stay In this landscape That this creates I'm taught to blame and Who I should hate It's all so futile And I despair At misplaced pride in The flags you wear You're fighting shadows From unknown shores But you're not made of Pure red white and blue blood A sleight of hand and A twist of fate Inventing freedom With no plan to exit They doubled down on A piss poor hand Inviting madness And Eton opportunists I recoil When they speak My skin will crawl and A sickness grows within me So what's your plan now? Will you go Screaming into the night Like some petulant child? Hey, well, you really showed them now didn't you? Congratulations

Throwback 03:23
I throw back my head and laugh To fight this feeling And think of my distant past Did I resign Too late? A burst of fire in reverse The worst kind of idea Why didn’t I disappear And lay down these arms of mine? Of all the twists in your life I loved you better And everything that we planned I meant To keep But all of this emptiness Continues to haunt me It says I should disappear And lay down these arms of mine And buried deep Where none knows Back where you won’t Where you don’t ever go Buried deep Out in my own That’s where I’m drawn To belong

Signals 04:46
Is this not what you want? Oh For God’s sake, speak I’ll burn and I’ll fade out I dare you To try to Remember my name It seems the signals might be clear Is this allowed? Can I erase The seed of a lie that I formed in the first place? Would you be free from this on your own? Cut me Down to size To let me see A future Not laid out A place where We’re able To start again For all the signals Seem so clear Is this allowed? Can I erase The seed of a lie that you formed in the first place? You will be free from this on your own Let me be wrong

You know there must be other ways Than this apparent disconnect Fingers crossed for what’s to come But are you feeling safe in ignorance? Where is it you plan to go That won’t be torn by flesh and bone? It’s crooked ideology Poisoned by these selfish gains, no? How do you focus on what’s right With one eye on the afterlife? If she was real, she’d spit you out Like lukewarm water from her mouth Trained to look the other way At something we don’t really need If we could start again Then we could finally live Are we holding on Until we tear it down? Uh oh… Oh Oh no If god knows you If god made you If god found you If god hears you If god sees you Would God damn you all?

Evolve 04:40
I thought we had evolved From this dog eat dog world But the nature of this game Doesn’t seem to have changed These glorious lights And rivers of gold Were built upon theft Upon blood Upon bone And we’re taught to behave To sit down To feel saved But what if they’re lying to you? So what, if they’re lying to you? Find out who’s lying to you Do you feel that you’re home and dry? Do You think they’ll do right? Do you think that they care? Life doesn’t owe you And isn’t fair So run along, go to sleep Pray the Lord your soul to keep But what if they’re lying to you? So what, if they’re lying to you ? What if I’m lying to you? Do you feel that you’re home and dry? Hey, it’s your Kingdom to burn Hey, it’s your lesson to learn What is left to learn? What is left to learn? While we’re watching it burn I thought we had evolved From this dog eat dog world

Summer Song 03:20
Love crawled around Out to the corner of my life Where I continued to drown And where you laid me down While I raised my hand to the sun And there beside you My body strained Caught in a landslide That I was happy in. Wait, hear me out Let’s carry on in this arrangement Where I fear nothing at all And where you take me on I see the darkness has come And there beside you My hatred reigns But call on me I will always let you in. And so Where did the light go? I searched for years, for second chances and though, we’re on our own May you find where you belong
9.
Cease 04:39
It’s time to leave It seems its always Time to leave So maybe you should Leave right now Don’t look back It will Drag you down But I will die out There’s nothing that’ll save me. So take me apart And devour All life And all that I once was. It’s come for me I know what it wants From me I now know its name I’ll sing it out now God damn, we shouldn’t be Scared to be found So Let me die out There’s nothing That’ll save me So take me apart and devour All life and all that I once was When all is done Come, liberty, come I will return Come, liberty, come To the unknown Come, liberty, come Where I came from Come liberty

Winter Song 04:29
We drift as it falls apart Walking into the darkness So I’ll come alive All these years Are not enough To bring it all down You were my afterlife All I had to try to To understand Now I see it We were never destined to survive And now I am at your side I can see What has died No one planned for this I guess we took our time yet We made it out So be it It’s alright We’ll see what we can find While your tired, sunken, eyes Tell me only, Goodbye So This life Of ageless wonder So, is this ours now? Please believe it I need you to hear this Yes, I see you’ve had enough.
