Fracture
08:45

A fracture
A schism
A break in reality
Change in this picture
Of life
What happened?
We saw God
And we’re not afraid anymore
Emboldened
The world is spinning
It just keeps spinning away
Until it stops
The heart beat sinking down
What happens now?
As we shudder to life
Torn and elated
Just keep spinning down
Make no sound
A flicker of a heart beat
Disintegrating everything
Calm
To the storm
The eyes are crying
The mouth is smiling (and)
Straining
And regaining
That sweet taste of consciousness
Lost on the rest of us
Hope
To dream
To dream once more of this place
What happens now?
As we shudder to life
Torn and elated
Just keep spinning down
Open your eyes
As we shudder to life
Torn and elated
Just keep spinning
Down
I cant explain
Have I lost my way
No place to escape
This emotion and pain
I heard you scream
As if from a dream
torn from the light
Left alone dark as night
I used to be
Now I can see
Am I alone
Please take me home
Lost my way
Believing
Lost my way
Is seeing
Lost my way
Looking inside
Lost my way
Cause I've lost my way

After The Fall
03:32
|
|||
|
I want to show you how I feel
I want to lay it on the line
I'm just a sentimental fool
that the world has left behind
I want to hollow out my heart
I have nothing left to hide
I want to show you how it feels
to be the last in line
And after the fall
tears silence from my lips
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Just a sentimental fool
that the world has left behind
I'm gonna hollow out my heart
I have nothing left to hide
I'm gonna show you how it feels
to be the last in line
I'm gonna show you how it feels
to be the one who's left behind
Alone
All alone

Blue Sky
05:10
|

|
Blue skies to grey
You’re turning my blue skies to grey
With every word you say
You turn my blue to grey
Show me your smile
Come on now show me your smile
We'll close our eyes for awhile
Change it all with your smile
Lost in the change
Feeling so strange
You said it’s ok
But why won’t you change with me
Lift me up
To the sky
I can breath
I’m so high
Take me down
With one word
Clip my wings
I can feel it
Take it back
Why wont you take it back
Time
Wait for me
I would do anything
To navigate
This so called life
Please
Let me Sleep
Chance to dream away
Drift away
Let me fade into your arms
Take it back
Why won’t you take it back?
I didn’t ask for this

Great Depression
06:37
|
|||
|
Along this great depression
We've created a great divide
A symptom of our reluctance
To show what we feel inside
Now I'm moving across the landscape
Following the path I've burned
I'm a ghost on the horizon
Beyond the curvature of the earth
Always moving forward
Never looking back
I'm standing in the middle
While the ground below me cracks
Almost feels like home
Caught between
I find myself
Questioning
Reality
Cast aside and wandering
I'm digging in the dirt
Searching for the missing piece
The one to make us whole again
And I
I stand
With heart
In hand
Wake me up
|

Softly
04:47
|
|||
|
Softly
Lift me up softly
Look in my eyes
Hide the lies
Show me why
I don’t have to fear
Softly
Let me down softly
Cover my eyes
Stop the pain
Give me strength
I don't want to fear
Look in my eyes
Is this the end?
Nothing
Tell me it's nothing
Tell me the fear
That I feel
Isn't real
That it's all in vain
Lonely
I'm feeling so
Lonely
Can this be all
That there is
anymore?
(Chorus)
I’m not afraid
So tear down the sky
Cast aside
All the lies
Open wide
Help me find
The simple life
Hope is mine
Run to the light
Softly (x4)
Drive me
Lead me and
Guide me
Take me away
From this place
That we burned down
So long ago
Face me
Why won't you'
Face me?
Don't turn away
From the pain
Can't you see
That I'm not insane?
Time is at hand
Hear it ticking away
Waiting
There's no more
Waiting
Casting aside
Foolish pride
I'm the one now
Who has control
Laughing
Let them keep
Laughing
Watching the fool
Break the sky
As they all
Drown in misery
(Chorus)
I’m not afraid
So tear down the sky
Cast aside
All the lies
Open wide
Help me find
The simple life
Hope is mine
Run to the light
Softly

Care Less
03:18
|
|||
|
You never cared much for love
It was just too easy
Called it a gift from above
But that’s just too easy
Look at us now
Standing in awkward silence
Watching the world
Spinning away from us
Turning its back on our love
I never thought about love
It’s just a vicious rumor
Empathy falls from my lips
Why are you still smiling?
Look at us now
Standing in awkward silence
Watching the world
Spinning away from us
Turning its back on our love
Don’t you know me?
Please don’t cry
Stepping over
You’ll be aright
I’m here by your side
I never thought about love
It was just too easy

Bitter
05:43
|
|||
|
If I said I have no regrets
I’d be a liar
This bitter taste within my mouth
Gives me away
If I told the truth would you forget
How this happened
What a shame to watch this all
Fade away
Honesty, Is such a simple word
So why, can’t I understand it
Bitterness is sweeping us away
So why, won’t we fight against it.
Feelings
Our feelings weigh us down
A struggle
To overcome our doubts
Misfits
Outcasts we’ve become
This new life
Has become bitter now
Bitter
I've become
Becoming
There's danger in silence
There's danger inside of me
I know
Its a bitter pill to swallow
The silence is violence
The silence is killing us
I know
Nothing left to fill the hollow
So hollow
When will I weep
There's danger in silence
When will I weep
Silence is violence
So violent

Just
05:06

|
Scratching the surface
Pushing the walls
Till it all comes down
Something here just doesn't fit
Something's missing
And I can't quite figure it out
Twisted words form in my mouth
I’m wasting reasoning on those who
Turn away
Things just are (just) the way they are
Things just are (just) the way they are
Frayed memories now cracked and worn
Drift to the middle
Left quite and alone now
Piece by piece
I’m sifting through
But circumstances
Keep pushing me away
Things just are (just) the way they are
Things just are (just) the way they are
Wait for me
She said
Please don't go
Wait for me
She said
I'm coming home
When I close my eyes
Your standing there
Don't wait for me
She said
Let go
Things just are (just) the way they are
Things just are (just) the way they are

Hope
04:44
|
|||
|
I was only twenty miles from home
When it hit me, that there’s no permanence here
Just conversations carried on the wind
Rising up to try and touch the sky
But I know the worst is over
I have the end in sight
The weight is off my shoulders
You were always better off alone
I’ve discovered that there's no innocence here
Just conversations living in my head
Whispered words that are buried deep inside
But I know the worst is over
I have the end in sight
The weight is off my shoulders
And I am full of hope
I am sure that something’s gonna change
Cuz something’s gonna change
I know
I am only a solitary man
Boxing shadows of contradicting truths
Sacrifice is nothing without hope
I'll take my fat and cast it to the wind
But I know the worst is over
I have the end in sight
The weight is off my shoulders
And I am full of hope
I am sure that something’s gonna change
Cuz something’s gonna change
I know
And I am full of hope
I am sure that something’s gonna change
Cuz something’s gotta change
I know

Floating up above the madness
Reigning over me
Wrap myself within the silence
Trying to break free
Oh lost in a million questions
I’m losing my point of view
Oh tossed in a sea of madness
My world has been torn in two
Watching as the lights below me
Slowly fade from view
Close my eyes release the moment
Thoughts fall back to you
Oh lost in a million questions
I’m losing my point of view
Oh tossed in a sea of madness
My world has been torn in two
Then there’s you...
There’s you…
…and
Almost feels like home
Nothing less than nothing
Nothing left for me
Nothing left but worry
Nothing I can see
There’s nothing left to guide me
Nothing left to hear
Nothing less than nothing
Nothing left but fear
Nothing less than nothing
Nothing left for me
Nothing left but worry
Nothing I can see
There’s nothing on the inside
Nothing on the out
Nothing in the middle
Nothing left but doubt
There's nothing left to guide me
Nothing left to hear
Nothing less than nothing
Nothing left but fear
There's nothing on the left of me
And nothing on the right
Nothing left to die for
Cause there’s nothing left to fight
I almost lost my way
My reasons led astray
As I float in darkness
Drifting from the truth
Pulling at the heart strings
Looking for the proof
Something to remind me
Something from a dream
Tries to break inside me
A whisper to a scream
Caught inside the slipstream
Loosing all control
Memories are fading
The rush before the fall
Stumble through the darkness
Past the rubicon
Grasping at the shadows
Till everything is gone
I almost lost my way
My reasons led astray

Surface
03:44
|
|||
|
You are wrapped up so tightly
Nothing can penetrate
Your heart
As the world burns around us
Nothing can penetrate
Your heart
How can I make you see?
You’re just a memory
Then I open my eyes
Buried the scene
Put it in its place
And threw away the key
Still you hide your eyes
From the sun
Never share your secrets
With anyone
Let me surface for air
Surface for air
Bless the innocent
can't you see that their
hearts are pure?
Is nothing sacred
is there nothing left for me?
Watch the circle spin
Watch the fingers point
Is it my turn yet?
Staring transfixed
To this event of endlessness
They won’t let me be
Feel like I can’t breath
Have I surfaced yet?
Or is it just a dream

All My Life
05:38
|
|||
|
I need someone to talk too
To shed a light on what to do
Only need a guiding voice
To show me what you see
Simple words of desperation
Could never stop you spinning
I’d throw myself upon the gears
To stop the turning wheel
All my life
I’ve been left behind
You look so far away
Please don’t leave me behind
You lay waste to the wasted
Take faith from the faithless
Give away what you want
And take what you need
Trying to accept your changes
It never rearranges
The way things used to be
Between you and me
All my life
I’ve been left behind
You look so far away
Please don’t leave me behind
All for you
All for me
All of my life I've been waiting for something
All of my life I've been waiting for this

Center Of Nothing
03:27
|
|||
|
I can see
I can feel
Are you listening?
We all know
We can show
Why are we hiding?
I conceal
I reveal
What is true to me
I believe
Your relief
Sets our feelings free
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to be alone
I am numb to this feeling
I am the center of nothing
I can see
I can feel
Are you listening?

Ladder
04:46
|
|||
|
I was awoken by a whisper
That I thought was your voice
To dream of this place feels safer
Choose my fate and make my choice
Until there’s nothing
There is nothing
And now there’s nothing
There is nothing for me
I’ll be electric with life
I will feel no fear
Frightened of nothing
And now it all seems so clear
Now I'm cutting through the darkness
Help me choose what’s right
Help me guide me
Lead me to the light
To your light
Until there’s nothing
There is nothing
And now there’s nothing
There is nothing for me
Awaken by the smallest change
Pushed back to a life
Where I must rearrange
Everything
For you
I’d climb Jacobs’s ladder
And never look back
To follow your foot steps
Until they lead me back again
To you
Questioned my faith
For your love
And for you

The End
03:59
|
|||
|
The sun will rise
If were here or not
The rain will fall
If were here or not
The tide will flow
If were here or not
Stars will shine
Even if were here or not (but)
This is not the end
Life moves on
If were here or not
Children play
Even if were here or not
Hearts will sing
If were here or not
Love remains
Even if were here or not (but)
This is not the end

This is a decent album, but it just doesn’t check as many boxes for me as “Maps of Revenge and Forgiveness” does. I love the fact that it makes a concerned statement about the current, alarming state of the world due to our race’s negligent behaviours. Kudos for that and the added link for our enlightenment! There are definite similarities to Thom Yorke and Radiohead here. 7/10.
