The Big Sleep is the pinnacle of what we do best as a group. The song was inspired by friends and loved ones who lost their minds and the tragedies that followed. The song will be followed by a full-lenght "The Cycle" that will be released on April 20th, 2023.

Lyrics:

Sleepwalker's mind is unconsciously developing its breakdown
And suddenly you were gone
In my beloved one's eyes
I saw the last spark of her die
Fading out

It's all in your head
You chose fiction instead of just accepting grim reality
You think you are fine
When the fabric of your mind
Gives in and betrays you

Is it me or you now?
Me or you now going crazy
If the world ends now
Would you rather be right than satisfied and stray?

Doing time
I'm locked up inside my own mind
(Come to life, love)
Searching spies
(Be alive, my love)

Wondering
Slowly welcoming
Illusion — mind pollution
Rotting cerebral walls

And now that you're gone
I'm free to fall into the big sleep

We lost our way
But we didn't lose our souls
(Souls)

I know, there's a chance to fight the monster in us
The light at the end of our path grows strong

You need to wake up
You need to open your eyes and rise

It's all in your head
You chose fiction instead of just accepting grim reality
You think you are fine
When the fabric of your mind
Gives in and betrays you

Is it me or you now?
Me or you now going crazy
If the world ends now
Would you rather be right than satisfied and stray?
