Leaders come
Stand in line Reveal your true self & conform I sold my song Crossed the borderline I found something I'd never adjust to Come here I've paid up for you I have sold my weakness too Come here I split my heart in two But you don't have it in you Do you Carbon soul Transparent & played out See you soon in non-fiction I sold my song My mouth was sewn But it's coming undone & that's why I sold out Come here I've paid up for you I have sold my weakness too Come here I split my heart in two But you don't have it in you Do you 02. Deliberation Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse, Fredrik Norrman Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Visions come
Visions come In a sickroom bed There's something left to learn Pass them on Let it show Let the rich meet death Confront our own concern See us sleep behind the glass Unaware of crime Will you wake us up before it is time The red circle holds the only light Break down my perspective & notify everyone when the time is right My mouth remains inactive See us sleep behind the glass Unaware of crime Will you wake us up before it is time So when you let me in You let me justify my own reward You put your hands on me & I learn the words I didn't know before I am ice I am clear Let the world be cold Our deliberation Pass them on Let it show Let the words come slow Your constant incantation See us sleep behind the glass Unaware of crime Will you wake us up before it is time So when you let me in You let me justify my own reward You put your hands on me & I learn the words I didn't know before Repeating cycle of light/no light There's nothing in the airspace There's no one in the airspace Repeating cycle of love/no love See us sleep behind the glass Unaware of crime Will you wake us up before it is time So when you let me in You let me justify my own reward You put your hands on me & I learn the words I didn't know before 03. Soil's Song Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
False
The dream is so far Come & take the consequence Few things are as certain Winter state Oppressive wait Evacuate Assemble here Soil's song In your throat Future death In your reach Who's first OK Mask Your face well hidden Keep your last words in your hand Fold it & open up Time to go Release the glow Evacuate Assemble here Soil's song In your throat Future death In your reach Who's first OK False The dream is so far Evacuate Assemble here Soil's song In your throat Future death In your reach Who's first OK 04. My Twin Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
The neck & then the chain
The head is hung in shame I thought that you had grown That you would carry on But now that I have gone What else has been withdrawn You used to be like my twin & all that's been Was it all for nothing Are you strong when you're with him The one who's placed you above us all I think of love I let it pass It feels like fire But it won't last You used to be like my twin & all that's been Was it all for nothing Are you strong when you're with him The one who's placed you above us all What is it coming to I'm unwilling to go on You have lost No one has won You used to be like my twin & all that's been Was it all for nothing Are you strong when you're with him The one who's placed you above us all 05. Consternation Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Wave back at me
Back is turned If I fail once Circuit burn Saw you in the lampglow You fade Nothingness incarnate Until I get there Hidden I will be Consternation Internal source Overthrowing Stray from course Saw you in the lampglow You fade Nothingness incarnate Until I get there Hidden I will be Saw you in the lampglow You fade Nothingness incarnate Until I get there Hidden I will be 06. Follower Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Hurts to see
My incapacity Shame Idle mind No You have changed me My mouth is shut Stupidity have shut my mouth So when you come I'm too unprepared to come along I hold your hand so hard My knuckles turn white When your clear the streets & kill the lights See the line Border to freedom The words Underlined My name You have changed it Your tone changed to cool This how you tell me once again How I have nothing on you How everything is supposed to end So when you come I'm too unprepared to come along I hold your hand so hard My knuckles turn white When your clear the streets & kill the lights Father I won't make it It's the journey of a life Fix my eyes on the sun What have I done So when you come I'm too unprepared to come along I hold your hand so hard My knuckles turn white When your clear the streets & kill the lights 07. Rusted Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Rush through the rusted veins
Illuminate the face of one So I have a light So unaware about the consequence I heard no warning About the little compromise The distorted views you had Cold white spring A wordless song I sing Eye White cloud All my thoughts are in doubt Rush through the rusted veins Illuminate the face of one So I have a light So unaware about the consequence I heard no warning About the little compromise Cold white spring A wordless song I sing Eye White cloud All my thoughts are in doubt 08. Increase Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Vapour
As thin as it gets I stare right through The severe sickness in this room Not mine It comes from you Soul cold Indeed There won't be a time when I'm at ease Increase coldness Increase ignorance Please Rewind & look at you As on film You will see a mask of shame I think you will Perceive Your position in life So unworthy The severe sickness in this room Not mine It comes from you Find & twist the answer Save no one from harm As seen in the vision Sick sleep sick dead earth Soul cold Indeed There won't be a time when I'm at ease Increase coldness Increase ignorance 09. July Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
You come clean
Waves collide now Defenseless numb arms & no voice of reason So how come you invited me too You knew I wanted you You glide above So this night belongs to you I know this isn't through Are you dead to love I see the bright lights It's the month of July It's violent here Why have you left me If only you could stay & keep me in It's violent here Why did you run from me So how come you invited me too You knew I wanted you You glide above So this night belongs to you I know this isn't through Are you dead to love Heat Night devour me Repeat Repetition I see the bright lights It's the month of July It's violent here Why have you left me If only you could stay & keep me in It's violent here Why did you run from me 10. In The White Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Are you in or are you out
The words are stones in my mouth Hush little baby don't you cry Truth comes down Strikes me in the eye Turning seasons within Brand new nails across my skin But who am I to imply That I was found That I found you in the white To overcome this I become one with The quiet cold of late November If you don't see I'll remain unseen Until there's time to be remembered So I had a green light I was lost in city lights Not so far from a try This is not our last goodbye Are you in or are you out The words are stones in my mouth Hush little baby don't you cry So I found you Found a way all through The quiet cold of inner darkness & now that you're here It becomes so clear I have waited for you always 11. The Itch Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Movement
Subdued back then So quiet now Subsequence Systematic violence The great cold distance The itch The urge Make way Think of something Thin out the fear Past the tracks Part the ways One stand here Medicate Kill the itch Check the air & push to get there Monochrome Symbol on the surface Reduced illumination Chemical inheritance Make way Think of something Thin out the fear Past the tracks Part the ways One stand here Medicate Kill the itch Check the air & push to get there The lies The fever 12. Journey Through Pressure Music by Anders Nyström, Jonas Renkse Lyrics by Jonas Renkse
Pushing the will
Being alive Well I have been I came far The process of trying To act unharmed It will fade out Thoughts will unwind No longer mine They are for you When you come So long I'm cutting here & the water's blood When you come Pushing the will Being alive Well I have been I came far The process of trying To act unharmed It will fade out Thoughts will unwind No longer mine They are for you When you come So long I'm cutting here & the water's blood When you come The sky moves faster at this time of year Thoughts will unwind No longer mine They are for you When you come So long I'm cutting here & the water's blood When you come 13. Displaced
Do you have water in your car
I might get thirsty along the way Are you sure is isn't very far Are we getting there today And is it hard And complicated You displace me Drive me there Let me sleep We are coming to an end here see Drive me there I'm meant to be decieved We are coming to an end here see Reaching for a sentence in my mouth Well hidden under my tongue I know what things are all in doubt I made it so easy for you when you came For your safety You displace me Drive me there Let me sleep We are coming to an end here see Drive me there I'm meant to be decieved We are coming to an end here see 14. Dissolving Bonds
And here you are
So much time did you waste from times before So shut down your sky Bow down, lights out and die And now you go The cold chill cracks a positive self-detach Inanimate heart Hurting razor throat A destined goodbye Bells rang out the day of your worst fear Obscure graduation day Left you but with memories to bear Lost in the hopelessness Seclusion cut you just as deep as knives Dissolving the bonds Time was set to fade away your lives You said you would always your love You said you would always be caring You said you would never abandon You said you said A destined goodbye Bells rang out the day of your worst fear Obscure graduation day Left you but with memories to bear Lost in the hopelessness Seclusion cut you just as deep as knives Dissolving the bonds Time was set to fade away your lives 15. Code Against The Code
Money growing on a tree
The cold you have come to find Money going through the wire The cold you have come to find You once were the one who had it The code against the code Wait So much to discover Wait across the borderline Soul thinned out All the filth that soiled your baby Spit it out when they're coming for you Lowered's heir Money growing on a tree The cold you have come to find Money going through the wire The cold you have come to find You once were the one who had it The code against the code Wait So much to discover Wait across the borderline Soul thinned out All the filth that soiled your baby Spit it out when they're coming for you Lowered's heir 16. Unfurl
At city centre 9 pm
Just like you wrote and I try to think about Snow coming in Just like before I will be on stand-by It's time to chose side now That's what you said When we talked on the phone So white our eyes You are still Are you paralyzed Releasing the vapour Into the lung Letting the wings unfurl And for a moment I feel young I call on the bird Unfurl It's time to chose side now That's what you said When we talked on the phone So white our eyes You are still Are you paralyzed Releasing the vapour Into the lung Letting the wings unfurl And for a moment I feel young I call on the bird Unfurl |
