Icono 03:35
I don’t mind the mental grind Of this human sacrifice Death to all with peace of mind ‘Cause they’re only gonna find in time That they’re wrong As they follow along we can’t help but regress And it’s gone As they follow along down a path of regret I know This will lead us to our graves Diggin’ ourselves up ‘Cause we missed a little light I know This will lead us to our graves Diggin’ ourselves up ‘Cause we missed a little… I don’t want to stabilize Lazy weakened stagnant minds Crush beliefs that they hold tight ‘Cause they’re only gonna find in time That they’re wrong As they follow along we can’t help but regress And it’s gone As they follow along down a path of regret I know This will lead us to our graves Diggin’ ourselves up ‘Cause we missed a little light I know This will lead us to our graves Diggin’ ourselves up ‘Cause we missed a little… I know This will lead us to our graves…

Take 03:25
These sewn up lips With stitching drawn so tight Create a taste That remains chambered inside We’ve tried everything to dilute the poison But we are starting to believe This will take A level of torture that we can’t take The rusted chains keep us in the cave But we will take Whatever of this we can take Through finished seams We’re finding ways to pry An opening Exhausting weakened advice We’ve tried everything to dilute the poison But we are starting to believe This will take A level of torture that we can’t take The rusted chains keep us in the cave But we will take Whatever of this we can take This will take A level of torture that we can’t take The rusted chains keep us in the cave But we will take Whatever of this we can…

We are the children of progress It’s not our fault that you’re battling the flames Of a question you ignited Growing more complicated by the day This is something we seek It is something we need It is something we desire solely This is something we seek It is something we need It is something for which we plead Time for an explanation We’ve waited far too long now Connecting the dots we pretend We’re clever We are the product of a novice We aren’t alarmed by the winding path we pave But say the word and we’ll follow Otherwise we’re walking the other way This is something we seek It is something we need It is something we desire solely This is something we seek It is something we need It is something for which we plead Time for an explanation We’ve waited far too long now Connecting the dots we pretend Though you think it’s fair somehow We’ve worked far too hard to pretend We’re clever Leaving traces underground Leaving prints upon the leaves Leaving traces in our bones Well I cannot wait to bury these Leaving traces underground Leaving prints upon the leaves Leaving traces in our bones Well I cannot wait to bury these Time for an explanation We’ve waited far too long now Connecting the dots proves nothing Though you think it’s fair somehow We’ve worked far too hard to pretend We’re clever…

Tell Me 04:00
How did this manage to come back to me? I saw it leave, saw it embrace defeat Took on the water that swallowed the brim I was a child just drowning Sometimes the cure it resides at our feet But somehow we cannot pinpoint the disease… Sometimes the strands have trouble annealing But somehow we cannot see the meaning… (Tell me if we’ve gone too far) (Tell me if we’ve gone too far) Tell me if we’ve gone too far I’m not saying this will stop when hearing your controlled thoughts Tell me if we’ve gone too far I’m not saying this will stop when hearing your controlled thoughts Tell Me Tell me if we’ve gone too far I’m not saying this will stop when hearing your controlled thoughts (Tell me) Tell me if we’ve gone too far I’m not saying this will stop when hearing your controlled thoughts I’m not saying things will change when You finally give up…

There is no contemplation There is no doubt inside of me One day I will denature, dehumanize, d-e-a-d With a heart that’s grown beyond the body that’s home Why won’t you bring me back to life? There is no second guessing No hindsight far as I can see One day disintegrated by the oxygen that I now breathe With lungs that hold a story left untold Why won’t you bring me back to life? Try or enslave us again tonight Where is my God? I do not have one There was a place inside a dream Where I manipulated words Made them feel concrete There was a place inside a dream Where I manipulated words Made them feel concrete Why won’t you bring me back to life? Try or enslave us again tonight I’m not gonna break down this time Why won’t you bring me back to life? Try or enslave us again tonight Where is my God? I do not have one…
