1. Eyes Of A Storm

My pulse races faster than my mind can follow
Chasing after my vengeful self
Through a relentless path of destruction

I've become its passenger
Seeing now what has passed
Just slow down, let patience lead
This moment you'll come to accept

Don't be defeated by it
Whether or not you take control
You're still along for the ride

If anything this will be
A true test of patience
Two eyes of a storm

This rage has taken me hostage
Its hand gripping the wheel
Accelerating bitter thoughts
Through no vein will it yield

I've become its passenger
Seeing now only what has passed
Just slow down, let patience lead
This moment you'll come to accept

If anything this will be
A true test of our patience
Two eyes of a storm

Quiet streams of light
Find a passage to the ground
Crossing all along the way

2. Truth Taker

Painfully witnessing another's victory
Parading before his eyes
His envy, fully awake and restless
Admiring each and every passerby
An inner gravity toward all directions
Submersed in a pull of unreachable destinations
Completely removed of acceptance
For another's standing in the distance

Shouldn't you be living above this?
Shouldn't you be finding your own way?
Endlessly praying for just one taste
Of a truth of anything but your own

If given the chance, they would be clear of the path
But without their presence
You would never have known the direction
Had it been unseen or unsaid
To be content in their standing
Is to find a way of your own

Shouldn't you be living above this?
Shouldn't you be finding your own way?
Endlessly praying for just one taste
Of a truth of anything but your own

3. Digital Dreamer

Wake up digital sleeper
Informing must begin
A day's data to digest
Before you power down to do it again

Wake up digital keeper
It is all around you and beyond
That needs undivided attention
So chew quickly and move along

Automated reminder
Refrain from disconnection
The programmed are the sole survivors
In our artificial interconnection

This is the age of overload
You are what you consume
Beings of information
Identities unknown

Wake up, your dream is digital
Do you ever feel the hunger for the truth?
This is the age of overload
You will find it all the way around you

There will be no escaping artificial identities
Plying and manipulating the world that we perceive

Wake up, your dream is digital
Do you ever feel the hunger for the truth?
This is the age of overload
You will find it all the way around you

4. Never Enough

Resting between worlds seated at his throne
Consuming the stars and all that dare surround him
Soaked in the warmth of the sun
As all below live subject to the night

And as they battle for the scraps that fall from his table
Scraping the earth under their feet
Wars are waged and never won

In vicious cycles around his endless hunger

Oh there will never be an end
Oh 'cause there will never be enough

Self indulgent, deeply hell-bent
To see his way to the bottom before moving on
Gorging the food of the gods
As all below live subject to the night
And as they carry the weakened ones to safety
Across the desolate land under their feet
Wars are waged and never won

In vicious cycles around his endless hunger

Oh there will never be an end
Oh 'cause there will never be enough
There's no way out
Until the gods give up their heavens and he empties them out

A fleeting burst of light
In the small blink of an eye
Illuminating a path
'Cross a melancholy sky
He followed with intent
Mindful of his every step
Passing by the hungry
The ailing and the dead

Oh there will never be an end
Oh 'cause there will never be enough
There's no way out
Until the gods give up their heavens and he empties them out

5. The Castaway Crown

He stepped forward with certainty
And then secured his blindfold tightly

He saw nothing of this world
Free of his own reflection
He heard their voices faintly
So much softer than his own

He sensed their touch rest upon him
But only felt, only felt of stone

His thoughts became an infinite flow
The truths of which he spoke with absolute conviction
And took solace in knowing their words
Were simply competing frequencies

The fate of one who only sees
Truth in his own words
Is the furthest thing from free
A prisoner to an elite
No one will ever know
A castaway lost at sea

He found his voice ringing wall to wall
Answer his thoughts, standing on his own

He learned nothing of this world free of his own reason
He paid no views attention
That he did not find to his liking

The fate of one who only sees
Truth in his own words
Is the furthest thing from free
A prisoner to an elite
No one will ever know
A castaway lost at sea

6. Anasthesia Throne

Failing so eagerly to fulfill
Your duty
Waiting so passively without meaning
No meaning

Doctor Apathy to the inoperating room
Self sedation stat so that we can resume
Anesthesia eyes assess with urgency
From afar, his backseat state of emergency

Outside looking in a crowded waiting room
Patient Imagery anxious to be viewed
Just enough to sense the very surface
Before returning to untroubled numbness

Failing so eagerly to fulfill
Your duty
Waiting so passively without meaning
No meaning

A dormant driver waiting to direct the wheel
Sitting idle on a busy street
Arbitrary gaze across a stream of steal
No desire to follow or compete

A passenger in your own life
No destination or purpose

Failing so eagerly to fulfill
Your duty
Waiting so passively without meaning
No meaning

Drifting for so long
Will eventually find direction
A sign from where you belong
To follow with conviction
Let the anchor fall
And commit itself to the bottom
So you can carry on
So you can live with intention

Failing so eagerly to fulfill
Your duty
Waiting so passively without meaning
No meaning

Failing so eagerly to fulfill (your duty)
It's no wonder that you feel nothing at all
Waiting so passively without meaning
No meaning

7. Luxuria

I'm craving you like I'll never need
Anyone or anything else after I know that you are mine
I've got an appetite that I must satisfy
Only with the taste of you
Not that I know it yet but the feeling I'll get
Will most certainly be recognized

I'm craving you like I've never been
Anything but starving and you're the only life from which to feed
I've got an appetite that I must satisfy
Only with the taste of you
Let out a breath to catch and I will pull you in
In by the hands of the night

If only time could move as fast as my past devotions
I could see my way through the temptations
Perhaps to find satisfaction
But something's caught my eye again and I can't let it get away

Don't you know this is
Our first and last goodbye
So let's make this time
Worth both our while
Once you've caught my eye
There's no escaping
So let's make this time
Worth both our while

8. I, Avarice

A desirous heart with a scavenger's eye
Fixated only on your possession
With the will of a thousand hunters,
Starved and in pursuit
And the mastery of an artist
Perceptively in tune
He extends a steady hand
And you think nothing of it
When gathering his demands
And surrendering them to him

I will be the keeper of everything that they hold dear
I will take pleasure in making it all disappear

Such a smooth deceiver
Grinning as he leaves them
Empty handed and broken
Feeling like givers not victims

So graciously fooled in that moment
Where even your heart you'd have thought
A relief to unburden into him
Had he shown the appetite
Heavy steps carry his departure
Pockets filled with victories
The most satisfying of pleasures
This wicked sense of glory

I will be the keeper of everything that they hold dear
I will take pleasure in making it all disappear

9. Frozen Earth

Fire in the sky
Chaos in our eyes
I cannot save you
I cannot save myself

We have only ourselves to blame
For this wasteland that has become of our world
We brought upon this bitter end
From our insatiable lust for power

Silent as the frozen earth
Desperate as ever before to breathe
Praying that the night will bring
A moment of safety to sleep

Fire in the sky
Chaos in our eyes
I cannot save you
I cannot save myself

I have not seen beyond the smoke
That reaches for days in all directions

Silent as the frozen earth
Desperate as ever before to breathe
Praying that the night will bring
A moment of safety to sleep

We build only to destroy
From ourselves we have no protection
We build for power and glory
Take what we can and leave nothing

Silent as the frozen earth
Desperate as ever before to breathe
Praying that the night will bring
A moment of safety to sleep

10. Clarity

Sooner or later we will have to remove
The blindfold from our eyes
Sooner or later we will have to let go
Of the fictions that we lived by

Conspiring against ourselves
Denying truths for the sake of pride
Dividing our hearts to envy
Satisfying our lust and greed
Misguiding the choices we make
To wrath, sloth, and gluttony

Today we lost ourselves
Gave our self control away today
Today we bid farewell
To vicious cycles and we welcome new days of hope

Stepping out of the darkness and into the light
To show the damage we've done
Stepping out of the darkness and into the light
In hopes that we'll overcome

Conspiring against ourselves
Denying truths for the sake of pride
Dividing our hearts to envy
Satisfying our lust and greed
Misguiding the choices we make
To wrath, sloth, and gluttony

Today we lost ourselves
Gave our self control away today
Today we bid farewell
To vicious cycles and we welcome new days of hope

In this moment of clarity
The past seems so far away
In this moment of integrity
I can finally see clearly
Reason to live this new day

If I can find inside the strength
To defeat these demons
If I can find inside the strength
Carry on with self restraint,
Integrity and patience

I will know it's not over yet
That this is not the end
I will know that this is not the end

11. The Singularity Heart

Goodbye my heart, I won't be needing you anymore
To the fire with you before you risk my life
Somewhere below this thickening skin
There is a trace of humanity
An inkling of life underneath it all
The undying will of weakness

Envious of the machines who never knew
That we together destroyed the earth

They can sleep, with guiltless dreams
They can sleep, they can sleep

Everything inside disappeared
Upon our awakening
To the beginning of what will become
What will become the end

Somewhere within this ever numbing heart
There is a trace of empathy
An inkling of life underneath it all
I can't explain where it's going

Envious of the machines who never knew
That we together destroyed the earth

Everything inside disappeared
Upon our awakening
To the beginning of what will become
What will become the end

Give me a reason to feel again
And I'll try to find where my heart has been
Give me a reason to feel again
To untie my veins and let the pain in
Let the pain back in

They can sleep, with guiltless dreams
They can sleep, they can sleep

Everything inside disappeared
Upon our awakening
To the beginning of what will become
What will become the end
