This track progresses from a boppy intro to a dense soundscape before finishing off with a heavy outro. Probably the heaviest outro we have written, for now at least.

Lyrics

Pick and pull apart the pieces of my heart, and time won't let me go 
Time won't let me go 
Pick and pull apart the pieces of my heart, and time won't let me go. 
Time won't let me go. 

Left from here without a home 
With little thought of where to go 
The pressures building down my neck 
The last to end the first to break 

Pushe, pushe, pushe, pushe, pushe, pushe 
I can' wait for no one 
Pushe, pushe, pushe, pushe, pushe, pushe 
I can't wait for you to fall. 

Left from here without a home 
With little thought of where to go 
The pressures building down my neck 
The last to end the first to break 
Strangulated strength by strength 
Chocking til the very end 
Absolute simplicity 
Hold on til we are set free. 

They say, lovers won't love again 
I know, we will soon see the end 
But now, it won't be too long 
They say, overs won't love again 
I know, we will soon see the end. 
But now, it won't be too long. 
It won't be too long, it won't be too long. 

Won't be too long.

Blood Is Our Water

The first song constructed primarily by our (at the time) new guitarist Alex Bornos.

Lyrics

They say have you ever seen the symptoms? 
I know the diagnosis, I'm not happy with results 
In turn I've thrown away all the papers 
Ignored all the feelings when I lost myself to trust. 

Another night again, this can't be made for me 
Another night again. 

Come down from the heaven that you made up 
Promises aren't promises when you've got your fingers crossed. 
It's more like a thread of your emotion 
Tied about the hollows, turning into dust. 

Another night again, this can't be made for me. 
Another night again, let yourself go free.

Lucid Dreams

This song was written quite a long time ago and was given a renewed identity when Luke put some very poignant and personal lyrics to the music.

Lyrics

You see that I've been searching for so long 
Just to watch it all come undone. 

Now I'm face to face with my biggest enemy Should I cower at this thought. 
Or should I let it be? 
It's been so long, I've grown so tired 
But I finally know the truth 
Shall we blame it all on ignorance or the faults of our youth? 

I've seen them fall to the light 
Watching it all come alive. 

Five years ago you sat me on your bed 
And you told me all the things inside your head... 

Yeah you had so many reasons, so many things that you couldn't say.
Not a simple sentence to put me at peace 
Your lips were shut with no intention 
You have taken a large part of me 
You are silent and put at peace 
Would it have been so hard to let me know that I existed to you 
Before you gave your life to the fog in this car and inhaled all of the fumes. 

There's not enough reasons in this world.

Adolescence

This track was written around 2009 and has evolved along with the bands numerous lineup changes. Quite heavily influenced by The Mars Volta at times.

Lyrics

The raping of time 
The dawning of new age 
The reason I've tried 
Turning this books page 
I've seen them fall 

And we watch them all fade away 
With this feeling that it all just fades to grey 

Don't Go 

And I've seen all your faces and all your dreams 
Of where you want to be 
But trust me, you've gotta look inside yourself 
To find the best part of me 
And I don't know, just how much I can live in this world 

Just watch as the pieces fall away 
We won't last another day 
Oh has it been, we've been dying all along 
And these last words were our swansong 
Have we all just fallen away? 
Have we all just come undone? 

Well I don't know 
But we gotta keep a hold on this situation 
We've gotta keep a hold on this motherfucking situation 

We're masking this

Astura

The longest track from this album, it also has several movements with vastly different themes. This is possibly the most ambitious track we've put together in a musical sense.

Lyrics

Maybe somehow we knew from the start 
Oh how these memories would tear us apart. 
I sat and watched you from afar 
Waiting for better days to tear us apart. 

Maybe somehow we knew from the start 
Oh how these memories would tear us apart 
But how many times, would you let me be your arms? 
Are you made of silver? I knew from the start. 

We're tied to each other, we're tied to this hell 
We're tied by the little things that make us heal. 

I know the meaning of this.

Entwined

This song was heavily inspired by the likes of Explosions In The Sky and the speech is something that obviously holds a great deal of significance and relevance to the world.

Words - Spoken by Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator (1940)

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. .....

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

The Less You Speak... The More You Know

This song was written during the album recording process and ended up making its way onto the final product because we found it to be too catchy to let it slide. The song started out as the intro being just a drum and bass jam before Alex layered 600 of his guitars over it and Luke punched out some catchy vocals.

Lyrics

Faces in front of me as I turn into the sea 
Places a mystery, more than I could believe 
What is this feeling that's gotten a hold? 
Take time, anoint yourself, before it takes a hold 

Take back, matter fact, don't know when I'm looking back. 
Make up, break up, 'cos of all the things you lack. 
I know i wanna get real close. 

We are all of the sun, find out that you're not the only one. 

Messed up, I don't know where I'm going 
Sister, and you don't love me anymore. 
But I wanna get to your heart. 

Oh I, I've been thinking 'bout- 
'Bout the times when you were not around 
But all I want is to get to your heart.
