1.	Transience 05:16	lyrics	buy track
Flickering eyes in your periphery / A permanent state of decay / Drawing fingers across rusted relics / The ground crumbling beneath your feet // Hidden smiles, hidden intentions / Pools of sweat and vile drippings / A casual inch from death / Forced trust of strangers in flux // Screeching towards zero / Like a million nails in harmony / A portal opens to a forgotten land / This cavern beneath the frost // Wicked highs, unthinkable lows / An empty bastion appears / Too good to be true /////
2.	The Great Equalizer 06:10	lyrics	buy track
As many paths as the days of winter’s shortest / So many thrust through the skies / Parallel paths crisscrossing aimlessly / Intersecting as quickly as they came // Man, woman, child, creature / Reduced to commonality // Empty vessels call like sirens / A temptress lies in wait / Pulled forth by oblivion / The stench of decay // Endlessly assaulted in all senses // Falling outwards and spiraling / Smashed to the ground / Overcome by the weight of it all / Our lessons learned /////
3.	Dead Mileage 04:38	lyrics	buy track
Head on a endless swivel / Only the foolish sit with ears resigned / Distracting themselves with hits of dopamine / Destruction of gemstones and relics // A shift in energy felt across this vessel/ A darkened mass traverses aimlessly / Casting suffering in its wake // Lanterns fall as obsidian reins / A supreme being stands amongst us / A split second chance to exit / Caught in the crushing weight of existence // Trapped between dimensions / Are you staying or leaving? //////

about
