A Gleam 06:53
lyrics

A GLEAM Trapped inside a dream, or in a dream within a dream, In the gloom we divine a gleam, whoever strives with mind we can redeem. Who strives ... with mind ... we can redeem! It’s undemanding to behold a light in darkness, It’s so much brighter when you‘ve never seen the light. A single blaze can torch the edge of your awareness when your perception‘s only shadows on the wall. It‘s more apparent when there is time to move on If you‘ve been captive behind your eyes for too long. Apathetic pain, resistant to that hostile strain! To break the silence of this cold disdain, whoever strives with mind we shall unchain. Who strives ... with mind... we shall unchain! It’s undemanding to behold a light in darkness, It’s so much brighter when you‘ve never seen the light. A single blaze can torch the edge of your awareness when your perception’s only shadows on the wall. It‘s more apparent when there is time to move on If you‘ve been captive behind your eyes for too long. Shimmering reflecting lights strain the sinews of resistance Conceive the fire in the skies that is flaring in the distance Take the chance to burn your eyes; as they are turned towards existence. Who strives ... with mind ... will rise again! It’s undemanding to behold a light in darkness, It’s so much brighter when you‘ve never seen the light. A single blaze can torch the edge of your awareness when your perception’s only echo from the wall. It‘s more apparent when there is time to move on If you‘ve been captive behind your eyes for too long.

Regret 04:31
lyrics

REGRET I inhale the dust, I inhale the ashes of my memories, resisting to disgorge them in disgust. I devour the past, in reminiscent thoughts of days gone by, until my thoughts devour me at last. I take a breath of rotten air, out of compulsion to smell one familiar scent. I let that breath stream everywhere in search of something I am able to repent. If there is repentance, there is reason. If an odor invokes a certain memory I would rather forget, maybe this is the moment, that should never be forgotten. And if today I regret not to remember anything, I would want to to regret, maybe that‘s the regret I will have to remember. Make me recognize, make me recapture - reclaim. Beneath the ashes lies a spark prepared to reignite the flame and burn away the veil before my eyes. We can keep this flame alive, let the tinder of our destinies entwine. We can be the reason why we choose to lean towards unreason down the line. If there’s only reason, where is desire? If that fire enlightens any memories we would rather forget, maybe these are the moments, that should never be forgotten. And if today we regret not to remember anything we would want to regret, maybe that‘s the regret we will have to remember.

Refuse to Reconsider 05:24
lyrics

REFUSE TO RECONSIDER Stand still, receive your order, or pass the order down to someone else. Bow down, obey the leader, or demand obedience yourself. Still they call it freedom of choice! Sink or swim, do or die, take it or leave it or rectify! Inhale the spirit of a self-consuming misconstruction, we are the center of infection! Increase the output of a customized defect production, we are the failure in the system! Spread out, bring in the harvest, more than we need can never be enough. Refuse to reconsider, prepare to rot alongside what we got. Still they call it purpose of life! Sink or swim, do or die, take it or leave it or rectify! Inhale the spirit of a self-consuming misconstruction, we are the center of infection! Increase the output of a customized defect production, we are the failure in the system!

Distraction from Reality 06:22
lyrics
DISTRACTION FROM REALITY Antisocialized by too much socializing, torn apart by the machines we built ourselves, mindless occupations, that feel like tranquilizing, and in the presence of the anything we urge for something else. I seek distraction from reality, for reality distracts me from what's real. I need recess of emotionality, because emotions kept commanding what I feel. I take a step aside, where I behold my footprints, and in my back I hear the flock moving on. Embrace my inner chaos amidst the dull disturbance, it only takes a single breath to memorize to breathe anon. I seek distraction from reality, for reality distracts me from what's real. I need recess of emotionality, because emotions kept commanding what I feel. I move away in silence just to hear my own voice. I wander into darkness just to light my own fire. Stop to care about the future and seize to grieve over the past! I left my thougts so far behind that from the distance I can see what I was thinking at last.
