01 THE LIGHT THAT BLINDS
(4:58)A crack forms in the foundation
A fault line through your defenses
Illuminates the essence
Once clouded by a myth
Store bought conformity
Force-fed duality
I warp reality
The comfort that you will find
As you remain hidden
The light betrays
Casting your true self away
You remain blind
As vanity possesses me
I am turning further away
Gripped by a belief in empty words
Driven by a need to prove
Store bought conformity
Force-fed duality
I warp reality
The comfort that you will find
As you remain hidden
The light betrays
Casting your true self away
You remain blind
The shell may wither
But the fire burns eternal
The shell may wither
But the fire burns on
You hide behind...cower
The light that blinds
Blinds
The comfort that you will find
As you remain hidden
The light betrays
Casting your true self away
You remain blind
Will never find
What burns inside
You remain blind
Behind the light
02 ENLIGHTENED BY THE COLD
(3:02)When you never know
When it's always there
It seemed so clear
The slightest touch
To catch the breath
It turns it all around
Single path that I can see
Emptiness devours me
Enlightened by the cold
It overcomes the torment
What if I could bring you back
Enlightened by the cold
Enough to burn through walls
Built on anguish
Can I be revived
Let it hit with force
Strong enough to blind
The numbness heals
Single path that I can see
Emptiness devours me
Enlightened by the cold
It overcomes the torment
What if I could bring you back
Enlightened by the cold
My worth is only defined
By the next disaster
When you never know
When it's always there
It seemed so clear
The slightest touch
To catch the breath
It turns it all around
Single path that I can see
Emptiness devours me
Enlightened by the cold
It overcomes the torment
What if I could bring you back
Enlightened by the cold
My worth is only defined
By the next disaster
By the next disaster
03 ACT OF CONTRITION
(3:40)I feel the cold hands upon me
Recollection of my betrayal
My betrayal
My betrayal
It is not the pain inside yourself
That tears the deepest wounds
I drift along, suspended in shadows
Memories rise from the haze
With sobriety comes recollection
My betrayal
My betrayal
It is not the pain inside yourself
That tears the deepest wounds
It is the pain you create
That consumes your very soul
I drift along, suspended in shadows
I drift along, suspended in shadows
I drift along, suspended in shadows
A specter of despair
Built on good intentions
My betrayal
My betrayal
It is not the pain inside yourself
That tears the deepest wounds
It is the pain
you create
That shreds your very soul
04 WHAT DRIVES THE WEAK
(4:43)Time released security
Controlled dose of tranquility
Forgetfulness washes over me
Put to rest the voices of insanity
Only the cinders remain
As another night
Becomes a yesterday
Come on, anesthetize the panic
It is what drives the weak
You're gone, anesthetize the panic
Putting all uncertainties to sleep
Not an altered state of mind
But a safer place in an unsafe world
Within the nearness of death
Rapture in the skip of a heartbeat
Only the cinders remain
As another night
Becomes a yesterday
Come on, anesthetize the panic
It is what drives the weak
You're gone, anesthetize the panic
Putting all uncertainties to sleep
To sleep
To sleep
Come on, anesthetize the panic
It is what drives the weak
You're gone, anesthetize the panic
Putting all uncertainties to sleep
Anesthetize the panic
It is what drives the weak
05 STILLNESS
(4:52)Impermanence is always swift
Treasures of this world are fleeting
Our eyes blinded from the gift
Within the way there lies the meaning
All natures are pure
All appearances are empty
Shrouded in sensation and delusion
Consumed within unknowns
Shrouded in sensation and delusion
All will collapse and fall
All wisdom is treasured
All wealth is a shadow
Shrouded in sensation and delusion
Consumed within unknowns
Shrouded in sensation and delusion
All will collapse and fall
Inexpressible in words
Embrace the stillness
Endless source
Eternal bliss
Absense of the mind is liberation
Inexpressible in words
Embrace the stillness
Endless source
Eternal bliss
All natures are pure
All appearances are empty
Absense of the mind is liberation
06 INSPIRATION ON DEMAND
(3:52)Where has it gone
Have all of the words escaped
Inspiration on demand
Emotions all displaced
And I will wander endlessly
Seeking all
The answers that I let slip through my fingers
I will wander endlessly
Seeking all
The answers that I let slip and fall away
Turn it all around
It melts into sound
Unfolding, ever growing
Torn from my rest
Though I still fight to stay
The images dissolve
As the day invades
And I will wander endlessly
Seeking all
The answers that I let slip through my fingers
I will wander endlessly
Seeking all
The answers that I let slip and fall away
A second to react
The mind too slow to act
Unfolding, ever growing
A vicious thirst to know
The secrets dreams may hold
Unfolding, ever growing
Drown
Drown the voices
of restraint
They will choke in silence
Incinerate the ropes
And embrace the hope
Unfolding, ever growing
Splintering the doors
Free the mind to soar
Unfolding, ever growing
Turn it all around
It melts into sound
07 THE POWER OF I AND I
(3:34)We are given the gift of creation
We are given all of the light
And purity of the universe
We are the ones who will create
The snarling beasts of human nature
The world is within myself
All is one
The power of I and I
True piece of mind is not bestowed
Upon us by the heavens
The evils of man are spawned
Within the confusion of our own mind
The world is within myself
All is one
The power of I and I
The world is within myself
All is one
The power of I and I
Hiding the purity that flows
From the root of which we rose
We are given all of the light
And purity of the universe
We are the ones who will create
The snarling beasts of human nature
The world is within myself
All is one
The power of I and I
The world is within myself
All is one
The power of I and I
All, All is one
All, All is one
08 GHOSTS OF PAST FAILURES
(4:12)The ghosts of past failures
Facing the reailty
Of our own imperfections
The waves crash without warning
Overwhelmed
and short of breath
Never able to escape
The blood stains upon our hands
I am still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known
I am still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known
The core of our being
Torn out and cast aside
I never looked this far away
Never saw what lies behind
In the midst of false comfort
The scars were hidden but never healed
I am still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known
I am still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known
I am still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known
I am still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known
I am still bleeding you
09 ETERNITY IS WITHIN
(4:07)Man has programmed himself to die
A death wish has been ingrained
Almost with our first breath
We are taught to expect our last
Science has done it's best to choke off
The true instincts of mankind
Death is impatient and thoughtless
Mortality is a disease of the mind
Embrace the gifts before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within
Lost site of the bounty before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within
Lost site of the bounty before us
Boundless resource of pleasure and plenty
Living for an intangible
In a future clouded with doubt
Embrace the gifts before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within
Every step forward is one step deeper into the grave
Breathe
Breath of life
Breathe
Breath of life
Embrace the gifts before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within
10 THOSE WHO CANNOT SPEAK
(5:17)Scream out against the glass
The sound reflected, unable to escape
Desperate to connect
Lashing out at words that fail to appear
Bound in silence
The failure of sound never learned
Instinct urges on
As the mind creates its own obstacles
Waging internal war
Between the objects and the abstract
Bound in silence
The failure of sound never learned
Bound
Bound
Scream out against the glass
The sound reflected, unable to escape
Desperate to connect
Lashing out at words that fail to appear
Bound in silence
The failure of sound never learned
Eloquence of the inner voice
The poetry of the condemned
A stream of consciousness
Never to be understood
