Dangling out of reach
And scraping
And tear until your fingers have bled
Hanging from your leash
The hand on which you came to depend
Is slowly slipping away
The future that we thought we could have
Has all but disappeared
In every bargain we made just to be here
In compliance
In service
Too tired to fight
drag yourself until your body shuts down
The light erased
From one eye to the next
Until they're both blind
Won’t kill myself into the grave that you made me

Inside of me
Pumping
Racing
Beating
This Heart is Broken yet filling to bursting
Undergo a Change
deeper Than You Can take
Meaning that was lost along the way
something herein that just doesn’t Translate
When everything is never enough
You will lose it all
What I’m searching for is disappearing, all into nothing
It doesn’t last
In poisoned soil this seed it doesn’t grow
Something sends me away from here

Bred me
Bled me
Judged me
IL
Love me
Reject me
Condemn me to hell
cut those lies right from your lips
they’re the same exact ones you’d kiss me with
Tremble in fear of this magic that we have inside
it haunts you in dreams at night
just to know that we still exist
Those small hands
clamping down on your throat
A moratorium on your right to live

The world that we’ve been born into
it’s not what they said
not what they promised it would be
The veil that protects you
Blown off by the wind of the change that’s coming
it’s gone
The past that you cling to
The time you remember
the days that you long for are gone
And just me with all this kerosene
Let me paint you a scene
And we’ll watch it burn

These rising seas
The cage we are locked in to drown us
But as you've slept
We've learned to breathe the water
Here in these waves
We've made our home
And the lessons we've gleamed
Will be your downfall
Here with my hand in yours
We two, invincible
Even if it’s just us two left
We will outlive you

Head split
Blood pouring from my mouth
I didn’t even notice my teeth got so dull from gnawing on these chains
In this, we dream
En Sperata draescul unbroken
The forest bleeds
Death clings to their machinations
In silence we slept
We earned our rest
Now we’re waking up and we see what they’ve taken from us
we’ll take it back
See through the eyes of a child and witnessed this pain
that never should have been
The ones that we see
just one of many
I hope you suffer when it comes for you

This hope
This love
This joy
Buried in you
I want to see this world in wonder
I want to look at it with joy
Each day for the hope that it brings
But all we’ve ever known is pain
And everything we made of it

Always seconds away
From giving up
But I could never give up
I'm sick from all the times I've wanted to
I can’t even feel you
Can’t hold on to what we’ve lost
Just watch it all slip away
I’ve never known bliss
Without killing it all
Every second chokehold
and can't breathe through the air through the window you left open

wandering the darkness
can't find the piece that's missing
born with the promise
to one day be whole
only to find that it is gone
guided only by
the chance to tell you
all the things i never said while you were living

a cosmic game of chance.
flip the coin to decide who has not and who has.
flip the coin to decide who gets to tell us
which god we all will di for now.
we all long for one chance to make a difference.
one more chance to make this count.
rip me from this grave i'm trapped in.
i hear your voice and it's calling me home.
your breath. your voice. your heart that beats
a million lives died from, a million more can't hold me.
a million more i'll live through
and i'll find you in every one of them.

Trading life.
Stretching it so thin.
Taking all the power within.
You’ve tamed it all and it’s maimed you so.
Murdered this world and taken us all with you.
You may hold the means of life and death
but you won’t know the meaning of either.
They'll chew to the core of this world but in the end
they’ll choke on those stones.
Even in death they can’t stop this.
With one last breath they say in a whisper...
Return me to the stars.
All I ever wanted was to be one of them.
Send me where they’ll never find me
they can burn this whole place down
but they’ll never find
what we already have

Insane album. Had to buy it as soon as I heard it and is honestly a 2023 AOTY contender for me. The lyrics are so simple yet evocative and the music is a vicious scream for change in a unchanging world and contempt for the way everything is and seemingly will be/has been for all of our history. I heard Deathless before this and this just absolutely blows it out of the water.

"Veil" made me cry. A surprisingly difficult, yet necessary, thing to do. Quite grateful for that. Cathartic, amazing album.
