lyrics

(Verse 1)
I laid down my intrepid arms
I let my excuses surpass my abuses,
A fractured rivalry I'd manufactured all in my own mind.
I saw the sky expand and felt the earth shake,
Assumed the stars would fall on our god's fate,
And in an effort to bury the dead,
I let myself believe the lies I had self-medicated.

(Verse 2)
I took these words to heart and let them sink into my head,
Thought that I could share reality with the living dead and so
The thoughts consumed by madness became my brightest star at night,
Too blind to see the moon was just a reflection of daylight.
This prison built of comfort and walls I just can't let go,
Trapped by intrepid ghosts and specters fading in the smoke,
Blur the faces with the lines to wash away the concept of time.

THIS. IS.
Unsustainable!

(Chorus)
When the fractures are complete
And the image in the mirror is no longer me.

(Singer)
Emoriar quam (sit tibi copia nostri)

(Depths)
Awake in dreams,
Pass through the ethereal
Illusion
Stare into the eyes of neverending,
Know this hell will be the death of me.

(Orphan)
Stop! Blood on the walls, erase our victims' paranoias,
Retreat into the empty halls and fill the walls with snapshots of our
Futures, the past erased, lost in a sacrificial haze,
If we can forget the face of suffering,
Perhaps we can remember something.

(Riffage?)
Lost in this house of leaves,
Where the walls expand around me,
A lie to escape a labyrinth,
Yet the shifting walls embrace my mind.

(Orphan Outro)
Trapped under ice!
