Convergent Minds 04:37
lyrics
There is no one true path We're in a consensus trance Searching for a heightened sense Of reality The universe as a mirror Calling us back together Belief in separation Fades to the light forever Forever Find your way no one else will The stillness so hard to find Silence your mind Deep hidden in the void Nothing real can be destroyed From illusion of form emerging As one all minds converging Converging We fall into division Looking for order in chaos The universe as a mirror Calling us back together From illusion of form emerging As one all minds converging Converging Converging

One on One 04:40
lyrics
Sweating intensely Outside into rippling flesh The scent that is her Upon you one on one, engage Giver and receiver Are now one outside into Feel it becoming More than you it fucks us all Inhale deeply, now look into my eyes Sure they're closed but that's irrelevant If I can feel alive And be free before I die I just can't explain it But it's the truth Gaze into my eyes But don't look until you're done Counting, now we go Out to spend our propaganda Tell all of the people About our lust, about our needs Sweating and writhing Moving flesh just as we please Exhale and feel it Imagine it's a dream Just don't close your eyes until it's over Just to feel alive To know and not to hide Perceive with mind's eye To know the truth Just to feel alive And be free before I die I just can't explain it but it's the truth Just to feel alive To know and not to hide Perceive with mind's eye To know the truth

Give Up the Ghost 05:04
lyrics
So quickly we come and go In this world of death For mere moments And it all blinks out There's got to be something We can't see Searching For meaning We're not sure exists No reason to fear or care Should we give up the ghost Is death just dreamless sleep? Let's give up the ghost Hidden just beyond An invisible veil Possible glimpse of truth Just out of reach There's got to be something We can't feel Searching For meaning We're not sure exists No reason to fear or care Should we give up the ghost Is death just dreamless sleep? Let's give up the ghost Imagination Conscious Hallucinations Freedom There's got to be something We can't see Searching For meaning We're not sure exists No reason to fear or care Let's give up the ghost Death is just dreamless sleep Just give up the ghost Brief moments in time Meaningless beliefs Random beginnings Love and sorrow Always one with the other

Ego Death 06:24
lyrics
Fly above all that is Ride into the sun Your hands are flapping desperately Can you fly or will you fall Into the waters below Drowning, struggling To reach the surface But there isn't one And you're swimming ever deeper Down into your soul Your ego torn apart No longer yourself Now one with the chaos The Sun blinds you eyes But so does darkness It's reality It is your destiny Come with me into nothingness Fly above all that is No way down, just eternity Flying free forevermore Now through these eye I'm staring at the sun Flying now, fly with me Die with me Drowning, struggling To reach the surface But there isn't one And you're swimming ever deeper The Sun blinds your eyes But so does darkness It's reality It is your destiny Come with me into nothingness Fly above all that is No way down, just eternity Flying free forevermore Come with me into nothingness Fly above all that is No way down, just eternity Flying free forevermore Fly with me Die with me Fly with me Die with me

Sleep Opus 1 05:49
lyrics
The night is long It's so overwhelming But it won't last Seems like forever But there's always change Feels like my heads gonna explode Just wait til it's over Relief flows through As the effect fades I just let it go Leave me alone right where I am It's up to you unless you're still on pain Disgusted with the way it shouldn't be Just wait for me Wait for me Nothing can fuck with me now Is it love or just lust Hate or mere jealousy Is it all illusions? Float through my soul But don't steal a thought A whisperer of fate Shattered fragments of my eyes Placed around someone else's grave Leave me alone with my own thoughts That I don't know are even mine Left to rot or to evolve Stand in pain for the wait is long The end won't come, it never will Just fade into another form When it fades, sleep will come But even then you're still awake All I want is to sleep Losing all consciousness Slow it all down until I'm barely alive Flowing slower than ever before

Sleep Opus 2 05:25
lyrics
Through whose eyes do I see? Here in the now I'm terrified of the truth but Welcome it just the same It is change Everything that I see Is it all created by me? In this haze I sit and wonder When awake what I perceive Is it no more real than my dreams Or is it all illusions Just one second Can't wait til the next Now it's over One into the other and they're all gone One into the other and they're all gone Everything that I see Is it all created by me? In this haze I sit and wonder When awake what I perceive Is it no more real than my dreams Or is it all illusions And you know the end will never come It becomes more unreal until it's undone More awake once asleep Drifting away Falling away Everything that I see Is it all created by me? In this haze I sit and wonder When awake what I perceive Is it no more real than my dreams Or is it all illusions

Lusting Darkness 05:35
lyrics
She stands all alone Pierced by the light It's running down her spine Glimmering in the heat You know that it's Deadly to the eyes Blind in just seconds But ecstasy to touch She's taking you far away Same face as all Hands wandering Without end and More intense with time Head tilted back Feel it's close at hand Starts without movement A fatal touch of minds Guide my way into your being Show me what you want and need Fear fades with time only doubts prevail Lusting darkness and the tears Push until the thought proceeds to dream Closer to death before regaining life So close outside of the warmth Staring within but still without Mere existence is not enough Pushing further life will kill Feel (Or fear) me now more than you will ever know I lust for the darkness inside of you Deeper I go into your being The darkness now seems to surround me But still I go inflicted by your gaze Your flesh inside is my only need I just need pure consciousness Instinct beckons for happiness You know that I can't deny The piercing light from within your eyes And I'm forever lost Inside of your Dark Dark Darkness

Not a Word 05:10
lyrics
Overdose of lies I can't bare to die like this Trapped it seems in this concrete hell Words only slow the decay I know now what is here for me Nothing, all is lost Taken away to a distant hell That's not so far away "I can see what your god's trying to do His successes and his failures Cosmic laughter fills my soul" Slip into the dark Leaving now a sound What is here will so be there Until I've gone away Breathing in the fumes Of those yet uncured Buried only deep enough So from them you'll hear Not a word Overdose of life Buried this quicksand reality Sinking down I cry out loud But not a soul comes to help Leave me back now as time moves on I don't want my part This overdose without a cure Why can't I live in peace "That which burns in every heart Goes out when faced with the dark Consuming all reality" Slip into the dark Leaving not a trace Time and space now trivialities As I welcome unseen change Your dead rotted away Your god's laughter fades His presence is absurd As he speaks not a word Slip into the dark Leaving not a trace Time and space now trivialities As I welcome unseen change Your dead rotted away Your god's laughter fades His presence is absurd As he speaks not a word Not A Word
