lyrics

Fragmented, unfocused, overwhelmed and underwhelming
Unable to assemble the pieces we’re given
Awareness to our unawareness, all that sets us above animals
All to pass through our conduit of crude cognition

No reality unfiltered
No truth so absolute as this
No perception left unprocessed, truth to be shaped as one would wish
This idea to which we give our trust
Is merely a construct, a gateway to dust

Omniscience would surely suit us ill
Without these thin opaque walls we’d be stripped of our will
The limits of our flesh-bound existence veil us from the madness
the last mercy of this blackness

All we’ve been shown through light and sound
Steals away the promises of what we’ve found
Invoke this ritual of realignment
Dethrone what we know and enthrone what we might imagine


All is tainted in its passage through the great filter
A vast collective built upon ingenuous foundations
Foundations
To the gateway of suffering
Take upon you the weight of the horrors of all
Crushed in your fabrication

Omniscience would surely suit us ill
Without these thin opaque walls we’d be stripped of our will
The limits of our flesh-bound existence veil us from the madness
the last mercy of this blackness

I must take it upon myself to forsake ambition and reshape a truth, so ingrained
I am here in defiance of the shadows of the memories behind




Hear all the voices of my past and my future that are screaming
Stay the course
Only to deepen this insufferable longing
I’d take up a lesser nature just to plot an escape

All we’ve been shown through light and sound
Steals away the promises of what we’ve found
Invoke this ritual of realignment
Dethrone what we know and enthrone what we might imagine

Still this aether worship we, enticed by tangibility
Leaving disposition behind, desperate roots grasping and grounding
Unheard are the words of those whom upon we’ve trodden
In fear of our true perspective from which we’ve been removed

Remove ourselves
Terminated ascension
Embraced condemnation

Remove ourselves
Limitation set us free
Untie from physicality
