Ascent 04:01
Choking on the breath We emerge from the water A premature ascent from the deep And with a damp set in Is this a rise to glory What use if we can’t breathe Pride atoned won’t let us devolve Pull me under Swallow what pride is left and return to the water Pull me under Swallow what pride is left 

 I’ve never been so fucking Ive never felt so fucking How did we get so fucking How did we get so far from home Pull me under

Descent 03:28
A world disengaged Turn and face it Pull us into place Clarity is forced on those cannot wait Retrograding Fear the changes Lost at sea the currents have aligned in me A heightened sense of urgency A final chance to rise and breathe The gyre rotates Our colours blur and grey A shared descent Can we start from the end It’s calling us I’m not falling I’m not set in Cannot stand and pretend Its calling us I’m not falling I’m not set in place The world disengaged Turn and face it Fight this fate A world in disarray Can't rebuild it Can't replace We’re all held to blame Flood the skies Now sink in shame We all float the same Face down to our Ocean grave A call heard too late Turn embrace it Pull us back into our place

Roche 03:44
I want it I want this to be The final word an epitaph It’s what’s defining me There’s nothing Was nothing for me Cold and static waiting there Safe in apathy Drawing close still feeling Will dissolving now A little taste of heaven calling Logic caved to feeling long ago Judge deride a mind outside there’s so much here to show you The feeling as we coalesce no words could ever say Never going back from where you pulled me when this started Cynical its cyclical there’s nothing left Safe outside alone Safe outside I am open Safe outside alone Safe outside will you open up Drawing close still feeling will dissolving Drawing close the feeling will absolve me Safe alone You know how it holds me I wouldn’t want to have it any other way Safe alone

Dresden 05:57
It’s still all about you A soul invested in decay As the scene is burnt to a memory Will this satisfy you Stir the smoke just to breathe it in You couldn’t bear to give this away You’re a danger left alone guiding the way Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt As I watched this world ignite Your choice alone Bury the vital signs in this anarchy Locked in the burning scenes of a memory Still running from You’ll run away The pain was always in you Bury the vital signs in this anarchy Locked in the burning scenes of a memory So bury me in this anarchy Leave me burning here in this memory Everything burns Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt

Endorphin 07:02
Should have dealt with this all on my own Could said that it meant nothing Never said that this means nothing Please just one silent moment Your words lie hollow void of feeling I’m pining while tied to you A shallow pulse was fading Bled out long before we departed Your colours are shining through Should have dealt with this all on my own I’ve carried you If only we could stand back and celebrate the change But now I’m left here picking pieces from the sand Part of me still questions if you even there All we’d hoped to see Fell apart when you pulled away Built to fall if we can’t relate Stretch and find your place We’re reborn from release Part me is wishing to start an empty page But did you ever feel this? Resolve me Should have dealt with this all on my own This means nothing This means nothing at all You mean nothing at all

Walls 04:39
We’re born to fear it In shadows we remain The silence feeds it Resonates in hate It’s not like you care what they have to say A single breath to ignite the flame It’s not like you have to relate to No way to exist The walls I’m trying in tainted air While spores pervade our wisdom truth lies broken Align and disappear In justifying blame clarity finds me It all ends at why Four walls that confine us It’s coming down, coming down Stones left to remind us Of what was getting in Here they’ll never find us Beyond the reach Light invades Once hollow Four walls surround me Enlightened and contained Four walls surround me Guided by the flame The walls

Garnet 04:42
You’re fading through the haze A mind shelled in decay As life it ebbs away I shed this masquerade Repent too late A love worn thin My legacy is stained An empty hollow gaze Surveys us in disdain Like statues gathered here Prerequisite despair Is all that's shared A veiled relief Let us forget in peace You’re fading through the haze As skies begin to grey My resolution breaks and folds A fear takes hold A fear takes hold Suppressed in vanity Involuntary shakes The panic grips me At the thought My blood runs cold Say you won’t, say you won’t Swear you’ll never forget me
 Nurtured us all with blind contempt The warmth you never felt Is passed on through me A blood run cold Legacy in repeat
 So please let go I’ve let you go Let me forget in peace Just let it go

Echoburst 07:21
If this is vision Then paint me loss An echo fades if spoken A door wedged open To kept you warm Just tell me you will I swear you’ll wait Til it heals And when I try to let you breathe You just crawl back broken I swear you’ll wait Til it heals Just give me one release I promise you will never hear I should have come
11.
Filters 04:41
Exist to own A life spent on show Bleach it until there’s nothing left To taste to feel Integrity Fell casualty To static pouring in your void of insecurity Is it blood is it love is it pain that is missing You reinvent alone Maybe we’re best just lost in time The sun it’s set and all that’s left To know is someone’s listening A memory torn, the image worn We’re left with, filtered vacant nothing You reinvent alone Maybe we’re best just lost in time
