The Balance
04:26

Here we go again
you’re hot and you’re cold
I feel like I’m losing my mind
inside you
can't seem to find
The ebb and flow
to break the mold
or not
I really don’t care anymore
for I have reached my tipping point
Your atoms are ripped apart
microcosmic works of art
but it took life’s frailty
to realize its significance
On this level we’re all the same
don’t avert the fucking blame
just to relegate the truth of it all
We are but a grain of sand
I begged to show you the way
now I look down on your grave
I’m six feet over
and I can’t recall your face
but the sound of your voice reverberates
we never mattered
and our bodies are built to break
Here we go again
we're on and we're off
and I feel like I'm falling behind
inside you
can't seem to find
Asking just
a question now
old as the dawn of time
the curtain closes
on your shadow
The usurper
melding reality
changing it all
to fit it's needs
I begged to show you the way
now I look down on your grave
I’m six feet over
and I can’t recall your face
but the sound of your voice reverberates
we never mattered
and our bodies are built to break
And it's gone again
through all of the shit
my sanity hanging by twine
inside you
couldn't find
Reticent
questioning
near the end
expected (Caught up in a foolish nightmare)
Losing sight
of the balance
losing sight
of the balance

Moving the Earth
04:09
|
|||
|
Falling shards of time
Suppressed by gravity
Form into a strain
Of depravity
Faster and faster compressing disaster
A violent event compelled by unchanging voices
Screaming to no avail
All is lost
A righteous fire cracks
Make sure nothing is coming back
To normal
This pressure inside
Our very being
Warping our being
Reality
Twisted and gone
Sanction the lives of the living
The end
Life as we know it has ended
They watch from distant realms, pretending
Crushing us into a mold
Fit in or fold towards oblivion
Sentenced to endless abyss
A pivotal transition is amiss
Where is the humanity?
They watch as this world crashes into me...
Broken
Forming the structure, through civil conjecture, building a power, to move the earth
Life as we know it has ended
They watch from distant realms, pretending
Crushing us into a mold
Fit in or fold towards, oblivion
Sentenced to endless abyss
A pivotal transition is amiss
Where is the humanity?
They watch as this world crashes into me...
When all this destruction has ended
They'll say it couldn't be prevented
If all we are is gold
Then let this dam collapse and fold
These whithered vines see stagnant times
As the deaf keep leading the blind
Where is the humanity?
They watch as this world crashes into me...
So we witness the rise and the fall
One cast to rule them all
Absolved by pyre
Shaking and moving the earth
Stefa
Life as we know it has ended
They watch from distant realms pretending...
Fit in or fold towards oblivion.
The pivotal transition is amiss
Where is the humanity?
They watch as this world crashes into me...
When all this destruction has ended,
They'll say it couldn't be prevented,
If all we are is gold
Then let this dam collapse and fold...
These whithered vines see stagnant times
As the deaf keep leading the blind.
Where is the humanity?
They watch as this world crashes into me

Neutral Beauty
04:32
|
|||
|
Silence that speaks louder than words ever could
pulling us to the brink, barren, colorless and bleak .
we search for some meaning
grey crags hold up the world
Find
only
beauty in the life
We have created
a spectre I will keep
eternally
So, somberly, I kiss the cheek, of my dearly beloved
she is mine to hold forever more
I wish I could do better to
give her a colorful world
You just dismissed all
that had meaning here inlies
Where do we search for the beauty
in a remorseful guise?
How can I provide
what she deserves
when you refuse to compromise now or anymore?
All that’s here
cold
(grey crags hold up the world)
So, somberly, I kiss the cheek,
of my dearly beloved
she is mine to hold forever more
I wish I could do better to give her a colorful world
The only thing that matters now
is her happiness
I’ll give it all for that smile
Why would you ever, not try to give her better?
this is the base perfection
forged from our own reflections
So, somberly, I kiss her cheek
of my dearly beloved
the only thing that matters now
she is mine to hold forever more and
I know I can
give her a colorful world
I'll show you I will do better
To give her a colorful world

Bad Intentions
03:42
|
|||
|
A haunting apparition appeared to me, assuring life's everlasting tranquility
Within its voice a promise, the never ending lie
Will I adopt these bad intentions I despised
These wings have seemed to fail me
They blurred the lines
Between truth and reality
They're tempting me...I crave...It's killing me
I'll serve the lie
Binding my hope to my pride
But my pride is a symphony
Now it only comes to take my in my dreams
The ghost of my past that no eyes can see
Departing ambition with reckless decisions
Abusing my life as it cracks at the seems.
Toxic and broken [and cracked at the seems] words remain unspoken
How could I stand this god awful psychosis
Esoteric
Logical decay
A spiral towards madness
Intentions are torn astray
A haunting apparition appeared to me, promising life's never ending tranquility
Within its voice a pledge, the all encompassed lie
Will I follow these bad intentions I still despise
I want to make it out alive
Running from distant alibis
No one is truly free.
I want to make it out alive
Running from distant alibis
No one's free inside.
Filled with these
Bad intentions
All you see
Bad intentions
Follow me
And then you'll see my bad intentions
Follow me
And then you'll see my bad intentions

The Old World
06:16
|

So I seek to separate
from this routine
abhorrent scheme
no longer am I in line
Walking towards
the fate, I will rise above
pressing this knife to my throat
Believe in all the signs you see
this city's filled with strangers
I doubt they'll know they're missing me
so why don't I just burn
Watch as the city burns!
Believe, oh believe, the mountains and the seas
their beauty wraps around us
but in war, they're infantry
Life keeps pressing forward
the city moves around us
Believe these ashes bury me
the flame burns on
our flags are drawn
dragging moments between
Life keeps pressing forward
the city moves around us
dragging moments between
(Interlude)
(Frozen , the old world is shattered. We watched)
(In between the aforementioned moments)
Solemnly, broken, now I'm holding onto silence
in recompense for atrocities, why we remain divided
Ruin!
who would stay shattered casted out of their asylum
it's so cold here that I have to walk away
No longer choosing to stay!

It All Began With Loneliness

One of my favorite Progressive albums of the year by far. It has the appropiate mix of mistery, complexity and surprise I expect of this kind of albums. With some gospel, saxo and flute passages giving a theatrical touch. Fantastic.
