lyrics

Born, I am born. Aware, I am born. I am real, the most real I’ll ever be.
Because the black and white macrocosm
Beyond my grasping fingers steals the shades of life from my skin
Will I ever escape the illusory reality raging around me?
Why does it feel like the air here has grown hungry teeth?
I could point the finger, I could kill the murderer
I would suffer any sickness, to leave this world a dreamer
I dissolve and disconnect myself from my breath
Drowning betwixt the rusted souls of the dead
We have forgotten our humanity in our quest to circumvent
The macrocosm that stole the shades of love from our hands
Will I ever escape the illusory reality raging around me?
Why does it feel like the air here has grown hungry teeth?
I could point the finger, I could kill the murderer
I would suffer any sickness, to leave this world a dreamer
For it is only in feverdreams that we outgrow our cage…
only in feverdreams that we see the truth, become martyrs, barter
With god for the release of our souls
Our cold, rusted souls
In the end we will reap the plague
And become the disease we nurtured
Stealing the meaning and purpose
From the dreams of those we murdered
We are the guilty ones
Lost in the hungry maw of the macrocosm
I am just a finger on the hand of a murderer
I would suffer any sickness, to leave this world a dreamer
