1.	Far Beyond Hope 02:24	lyrics	buy track
Abandon it all It's all a masquerade Preying on our fear and hate It's all the same until we hit the grave It's hard to breathe Through all the never-ending smoke We gasp and we choke Wearing masks just to cope We can't go back anymore We've gone too far beyond hope Burning away the sickness Rebuild Reform We've got to end this Permeating all our dreams Echoes of a world that we don't need Burn it down and put the shadows to sleep It's hard to breathe Through all the never-ending smoke We gasp and we choke Wearing masks just to cope We can't go back anymore We've gone too far beyond hope Burn away the sickness Rebuild Reform We've got to end this
2.	Virtual Reality 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Haunted by knowledge that I'm scraping with my fingertips Drowning deeper in the fears that substitute for ignorance Sincerity devolving deeper into parody and depravation Breeding nihilism with our every iteration I know that I can shut my eyes But it's all the same We're growing old in this digital sea We're going cold with no light except the screens It's a virtual reality This has become a purgatory of our own design Draining minds as the pixels slice into our eyes We've been reaching for a holographic heaven Blinded by the silver lining of our problematic obsession I know that I can turn my eyes But it's all the same We're growing old in this digital sea We're going cold with no light except the screens It's a virtual reality We're growing old in this digital sea We're going cold with no light except the screens It's a virtual reality We're growing old in this digital sea (old) We're going cold with no light except the screens (cold) It's a virtual reality It's a virtual reality A virtual reality
3.	Our Sky Is Red 02:45	lyrics	buy track
The sky is lit tonight By the fire in the sky The ashes fall towards the Earth And we sit idly by Slowly we turn our heads And avert our eyes Anything so we avoid the hurt Of realizing why Our sky is red Watching as everything we've ever known burns away from us Praying that the Gods will show us all mercy if we pray hard enough We're dwelling in the darkness beginning to rust Decaying and afraid our world wastes away while the sky is raining blood Pleading ignorance Or just ignoring it Shoving our heads into the dirt Add to our list of sins Our hearts are weakening We don't know what to say Everything we've ever done Is all decaying and Our sky is red Watching as everything we've ever known burns away from us Praying that the Gods will show us all mercy if we pray hard enough We're dwelling in the darkness beginning to rust Decaying and afraid our world wastes away while the sky is raining blood Our sky is red Watching as everything we've ever known burns away from us Praying that the Gods will show us all mercy if we pray hard enough We're dwelling in the darkness beginning to rust Decaying and afraid our world wastes away while the sky is raining blood Everything we've known burns away from us Praying that the Gods will show us all mercy if we pray hard enough We're dwelling in the darkness beginning to rust Decaying and afraid our world wastes away while the sky is raining blood
4.	Digital Scratches 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Is this giving in to fear Or am I choosing what's best for me The sirens ring out in the distance I can't tell what these warnings mean But they're still ringing out It's gotten so far I don't remember the start These digital scratches show us who we are Somehow my heart's still disconnected I know that there's something missing The sirens ring out in the distance I'm trying hard not to listen But they're still ringing out It's gotten so far I don't remember the start These digital scratches show us who we are I try to shut them out It's overwhelming I try to clear my head Cause they're still ringing And they're still ringing It's gotten so far I don't remember the start These digital scratches show us who we are So far Show us who we are
5.	Slipping Away 02:36	lyrics	buy track
You're not an angel in the night You're just an image in my mind And when the image dies It never comes back right I feel you slipping away You're the feeling that I keep chasing I'll do whatever it takes Anything to keep the dream from fading And it's tearing me to pieces That you're gone without a reason You're the answer to a secret I'm just the question that always deepens I feel you slipping away You're the feeling that I keep chasing I'll do whatever it takes Anything to keep the dream from fading I feel you slipping away I feel you slipping away You're the feeling that I keep chasing I'll do whatever it takes Anything to keep the dream from fading I feel you slipping away You're the feeling that I keep chasing I'll do whatever it takes Anything to keep the dream from fading I feel you slipping away Anything to keep you from fading
6.	Purge The Earth 02:16	lyrics	buy track
Begging us to meet in the middle Backing further away It's all a part of the process We fall for every day I'm sick of how we never learn We're slowly growing more disturbed It's time to purge the earth It's time to watch it burn They're always pointing the fingers Never taking the blame Divide us all to suit their needs And making their escape I'm sick of how we never learn We're slowly growing more disturbed It's time to purge the earth It's time to watch it burn I'm sick of how we never learn We're slowly growing more disturbed It's time to purge the earth It's time to purge the earth It's time to purge the earth It's time to purge the earth
7.	Shut Me Down 01:42	lyrics	buy track
I'm sick of everybody acting like they have the answers Spreading misinformation in an electronic cancer Eating away at the progress we have made Burning all our bridges as the world decays Oh Nobody really knows at all So shut me down Now I just want to get myself out So shut me down Let's go I can't take much more of this It's gotten hard to just exist If nothing changes I want out If this is a simulation I am begging you to shut me down Shut me down I can't take much more of this It's gotten hard to just exist If nothing changes I want out If this is a simulation I am begging you to shut me down
8.	Where The Sun Won't Reach 03:17	lyrics	buy track
We have spent a whole life tormented inside by all the smoke and mirrors Blinded by images they make that will not ever seem to clear Distract us all with pointing fingers and our ways to numb our fears Generation born with its fates at the hands of puppeteers Malicious masters will manipulate us all to meet their needs The lust for power only superceded by the lust for greed Swear us all to secrecy and make us all afraid to speak The only freedom left is in our sleep You put the knife to the neck And you turn your head You can't stand the sight of blood All we see is red You've led us down a path where the sun won't reach You don't even have the strength to watch us bleed We're always terrified of the confrontation With the devil in the night and what it makes us You put the knife to the neck And you turn your head You can't stand the sight of blood All we see is red You've led us down a path where the sun won't reach You don't even have the strength to watch us bleed You've led us down a path where the sun won't reach You don't even have the strength to watch us bleed You've led us down a path where the sun won't reach You don't even have the strength to watch us bleed
9.	Artificial Love 03:32	lyrics	buy track
A little more before I hesitate The grip you have starting to eat away Another way to dissassociate Negotiating all the reasons I give in and deviate Something hiding behind the feeling that I can't ignore Dangerous Power you hold Inebriate the soul I can't look away Just for a second I feel your love But it's all so artificial Can turn the eyes but it's all the same Scratching at the surface I can't get away Numb enough to get the guilt to dissipate I've been ashamed longer than I remember anyway Something hiding behind the feeling that I can't ignore Dangerous Power you hold Inebriate the soul I can't look away Just for a second I feel your love But it's all so artificial Dangerous Power you hold Inebriate the soul I can't look away Just for a second I feel your love Just for a second I feel the Dangerous Power you hold Inebriate the soul
10.	Fractal Bleed 02:56	lyrics	buy track
I've been waiting for the skies to change Drowning in the pouring rain Getting closer to the things I face It all starts to looks the same Getting dizzy as the world rotates I'm slowly spiralling The world I know melting away Isolated similarity You never hear the name I scream If you only knew I am reaching I know you see more than I can see You can find me where the fractals bleed Sometimes I wonder if you feel the same Frozen and locked in place Just links on a broken chain Severed and far away Getting dizzy as the world rotates I'm slowly spiralling The world I know melting away Isolated similarity You never hear the name I scream If you only knew I am reaching I know you see more than I can see You can find me where the fractals bleed Getting dizzy as the world rotates I'm slowly spiralling I know you see more than I can see Will you find me in the fractal bleed
11.	Wasteland 02:54	lyrics	buy track
Illuminate the truth Nothing left to consume All that's left is scavengers to rifle through the refuse No promises came true The truth twisted and skewed These ruins ravaged to the point of our impending doom Only ashes will remain Crimson skies will turn to grey Only our foolish selves to blame For burning through our yesterdays We don't belong in this wasteland alone Somehow we're all still calling this home We're only embers In the fire burning Turning to ashes In the ground below Only embers In the fire burning Turning to ashes And we're calling this home There's no home in this wasteland We don't belong in this wasteland alone Somehow we're all still calling this home We're only embers In the fire burning Turning to ashes In the ground below Only embers In the fire burning Turning to ashes And we're calling this home Oh god Oh god Oh god we are all alone
12.	Alone In The Void 01:31	lyrics	buy track
All alone in a panic room That I built for myself I exist in a downward spiral Watching the world from a cell Enshrouded in darkness I feel like I'm just about to break And everything I've ever wanted now is falling farther away It's everything I can do To avoid falling into The unavoidable truth All alone in the void
13.	No Air 05:25	lyrics	buy track
Breathe (How do we breathe How do we breathe) With no air We're nowhere Breathe (How do we breathe How do we breathe) With no air We're nowhere With no air We're nowhere With no air We're nowhere
14.	Not Your Fault 03:50	lyrics	buy track
There's a difference In what you tell the world And what you really want to say You put yourself in boxes To separate the hurt And lost yourself along the way I know you're trying hard to let go So am I but it's hard sometimes I know it's not your fault Sometimes you're so alone And lost in the dark and the cold And it's so hard to feel anything at all It's not your fault Swallowing disaster You don't know where to go And you know that you can't stay Searching for the answers Nobody seems to hold You're only counting down the days I know you're trying hard to let go So am I but it's hard sometimes I know it's not your fault Sometimes you're so alone And lost in the dark and the cold And it's so hard to feel anything at all It's not your fault I know you're trying hard to let go So am I but it's hard sometimes I know it's not your fault I know it's not your fault (I know it's not your fault) You're so alone in the dark and the cold And it's so hard to feel anything at all I know you're trying hard to let go So am I but it's hard sometimes
15.	Our Suns Go Down 03:52	lyrics	buy track
We've been picked clean and sold for parts Separated mind and heart At this point are we more man or machine Tear me open and see what lies underneath One day we'll watch your sun go down Someday so will mine I'll join you in the everlasting night Until then I'll keep you in my mind In my mind And it's one thing to know we go It's another to watch us fade Only imprints of what we left of yesterday And as our walls will all collapse The defenses all retract It's just the memories of everything we had One day we'll watch your sun go down Someday so will mine I'll join you in the everlasting night Until then I'll keep you in my mind In my mind In my mind One day we'll watch your sun go down Someday so will mine I'll join you in the everlasting night Until then I'll keep you in my mind
