lyrics

Trying to find the courage to try to crack a smile
Trying to breathe the reasons, you fill your wings to fly
What's life to you?
Has there been life through you?

Help define the demons shapeless in my mind
Held against your treason consumed in the grime
We've died to you
You know we died through you

And all this time
I've been losing my mind
I've lost all of the pieces
I tossed to keep my way

I swear I've seen the way,
I've seen all of it,
I've been to the end,
I've seen truth

Why won't you,
Let me inside,
Let me inside,
Let me in your mind,

You can't find the way,
Or know what to say,
You won't know yourself
Without my hand.

Why won't you give yourself to me?

It's that time again
We're alive again
Just enough to feel this pain

Can't you see, my friend
Watch us die again
See us turn back into dreams

It's that time again
We're alive again
Just enough to feel this pain

Won't you see, my friend
Us into the end
See these faces changing into…

You… You fend for your will to survive
Tend to your dissonance
I'll humour your self righteous pantomime
You will run out of shapeless means to exorcise your demons
Through your vulgar displays of misery
Watch as the walls come crashing down

I've forgotten
I don't have the answers
We don't have to talk about it
We can end the song tonight
And I've forgotten
I don't have the answers
We don't have to talk about it
I don't want to talk about it

(I’ve come to learn to accept my fate,
I've learned to like your goodbyes
I've come to learn to accept this change,
All your pain comes from when we try)

Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform. Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next. quantumquail

“… And Everything In Between” was a great introduction to the band, and after having listened to it 2975295 times in a relatively short while I could appreciate “Artificial Void” (which is perhaps a bit more intricate?) better. Alice M.
