Deej This is brilliant, I love circling back through the collection and rediscovering such a gem, both discs of this are a joy. The guitar playing is especially talented, love the solo work.

Lessons learned, dying breath I want you to breathe Hands are tied And legs are crossed Look at me Every day you watch the waves That crash from the sea Run your fingers through the sand And draw a line between Why was it me you focused on While the greatest divide split our world in hemispheres You look from the left to the right And see a clear disparity But the one you want Is your’s to keep You’re failing repeatedly down a path that never ends Walking the line between us Keeping your balance on a rope suspended high Don't look down, embrace the fall You don’t have the will To blend together day and night I push from the left, you pull from the right Feel it fade away Watching us decay An erosion of our past Observe me Watch as we find out what we are Just look up and see the sun The world’s on Our shoulders Carried to the end I'll wait here For us to start Trying to find a way to stay right in the center Does nothing but make it hard to leave you here in silent disarray Ambivalent fork in the road, it leads me in a circle The one I choose Is mine to keep I try to run away and leave it all behind Erase the line between us You show indifference to the sacrifice I made As you walk the broken path I didn't stop to think I need another drink Water that turns to wine If i told you that id cross the finish line You wouldn't cross that line (you wouldn't ever dare to cross that line) You just left me out to dry (i never thought i'd have to ask you why) You won't make it back in time (you wouldn't ever make it back in time) Come on in, the water’s fine

There’s nothing in my head The telephone is dead No message from the outside We’ll listen to life’s B-sides But all we hear, our doubts And nothing that we try will wake us up The light that shines, right through the cracks You’ve broken someone else’s back again (I won’t tell you, I’ll just show you) The space that forms between the stars The endless, black abyss, that I call home There’s nothing in my head I can’t fathom how we will converge I just want my message to be heard I can't pretend to think that life is just a game for those who play I can't imagine what it’d be like without those who lost the game I can't pretend to feel a sense of wrong for what I did to them, in here I played my cards, I mustn't fold The growing animosity I see (I won’t tell you, I’ll just show you) There's something staring back at me My ignorance, mistrust; my only friend I can't stop seeing red I see stars while laying on my bed I can’t find the roof above my head (Remember when) I can’t wait to get what I deserve There’s nothing in my head I can’t stop seeing red I will show you how you must pretend I don’t dare deserve to call you friend (Remember when) We must try to neutralize our greed I can never grasp at what you mean

Infinity 10:32
lyrics

If I came out alive Would you be first to hide me from the living Return without a smile It was only me that had survived You gave me such a look We turned away from the event horizon And back towards the emptiness The dark side of the sun is where we hide Blinded eyes They let me see Limits of Infinity So far away Even your embrace is cold, it keeps me sane Which way is home? No one left to tell us where to go Pulled by gravity I don’t think were free to leave Killed by curiosity of man Left our world behind Never sure what we would find I don't think that there's much time, for me Trying to find a way, we must make our escape Alarms and flashing lights will not define our fate Lost all control, systems down Turn around, break the fold Engines cold, silence broke and it's deafening Empty and meaningless Lost in an emptiness There's no way back Are we trapped? In infinity Keep me close So far away Inside the Infinite We reached the end There's not a reason left To keep us here Back to end of life I do not fear Images new to the mind Is this a view of the divine This sight I see, I can’t believe Inverted world, we cannot leave Try as i might I just don’t understand Where I am, what this is, Who are you Nothing makes sense cause Science and logic are inconsequential in This unknown world I now call my grave Limits of infinity Ending

Synapse 13:35

Looking for a similar connection To match the multi-colored wires Searching for a link between the differed halfs Connecting what is left to what was right Fall to the right with me Embrace creativity Losing faith in what you were Your pacing back and forth Running from the left, the half that’s cold and calculating To the right, that is the world down to the core You would not believe your eyes Senses fade under vanilla skies Reaching for a glimpse of the past None which you believe in will last A sight approaching me It tells me not to think I stand there motionless All I can do is blink Synapse in the mind Give me one more Reason not to find What i've been looking for Something that translates for me Naive right to the core Leave me, lonely with my thoughts Need you to Drown me if I come to naught Want you to Heal me of my own desires Can you just Throw me into burning fires Will you light my soul, ignite me whole, into a blaze Free me of my mental maze Falling ash Debris and wrath They came from the world Siren songs All hope is gone We move to an end Wandering We walk again Confused and afraid Hollow hands Empty as the sky While its cold out feel the fallout Hear the silence fade Now were lost on our own, I'll never know, what could have happened While the sun's out You must hold out Live to see the day Hibernating away, To wait for the day, the left awakens Even so, now I know, i’ve been told The end will happen again Feel it fade away Watch as it will soon decay The fabric of our lives Lost among this great divide Synapse in my broken mind Never fire, always waiting for the perfect time Always fighting to survive Never time to sit and wonder when the stars will shine Waiting while the sun burns out Like a lightbulb in the center of our barren sky Empty lives and wounded pasts Nothing left, the world we know was never meant to last

about

This album is part one of a two-part concept album about the deviation between the stories of the lives we live and the fictional stories we create such as movies and books, and how we use these made up fantasies to distract us from the lives that we lead.
