this is how the story goes:
a man is torn apart
time’s catching up with him

and i’m living it

this is how the story ends:
a man caught up in myth
he gets a scrip for some happy pills
and he downs them with a fifth

he scribbles out all his final words
on a cold apartment floor
a vain goodbye to a wasted life

and i’m living it

to hurt the ones who love you
to hurt the ones who try
to love the sick and suffering
to open up your eyes

this is how it really goes:
a man gets out of bed
he shakes off grandiosity
to trudge the day ahead

accepts the flaws that he has to bear
accepts the waning years
accepts the pain of yesterday
and pushes through the fear

and every other hour or so
the pain comes creeping back
but it’s a dull modern pain

and i’m living it

and on and on and on

Bass From Hell (Final Mix)

I was going for a huge sound on this one...very rhythmic with lots of ambient synths to carry the melody.

Reach (US) - C E R B E R A

This is a demo for my first solo record entitled "Seamless". This record will showcase ambient/progressive Instrumental tunes through various textures and guitar layers. I want to avoid using any synth, or sounds that I am not able to create through an Instrument. I should have it completed by the beginning of 2013, and it will be available for free through Soundcloud.com! Please check back for updates as this will be my primary undertaking for the next few months. 

In The Midst of Mountains (Demo)

you crawl away, calling this a victory for you
and pass it off like no one else can see THE TRUTH

the path you chose to wander aimlessly leads to nowhere
and still you try to run away from anything you see as a threat

so you'll rue the day
pray that you don't wake up
knowing there's no other way
all you ever wanted was a reason to stay...

fake your disorder
blame the the world and
play the martyr
such resistance
you just surrender
their apathy has been your cross to bear
what did you want?
what could you gain?
ALL YOU GOT IS THIS DESPAIR!

so you'll rue the day
pray that you don't wake up
knowing there's no other way
all you ever wanted was to
show the world that there is no escape...

Rue The Day

TesseracT's new single Nocturne with new singer Ash O'hara. 
Century Media
Recorded, Mixed & Mastered at 4D Sounds.


Climb (you're dehydrated ).
Fly (your wings are jaded).
Cry (you're enervated).
Die (for what you believe in).
Try (you've nearly made it).
Why...

You're the plague within my dreams;
Soaring through an atmosphere of an adequate lack of strength,
(and we're responsible) the truth is that it will end here,
Denial's an impairment of your fear.
Can we save us from ourselves? (can we save us from ourselves?)
This is the saviour and it's form...

You can break through,
wake me up,
tell me it's gone.
False hope sells lies.
I won't buy.
We are still one.
Let's attempt escape,
Melancholia will feed,
We'll admit defeat,
The box populi will cease.
The air is thickening.
We are drifting.

You're the plague within my dreams;
Soaring through an atmosphere of an adequate lack of strength,
(and we're responsible)(we're responsible!)
The truth is that it will end here,
Denial's an impairment of your fear.
Can we save us from ourselves? (can we save us from ourselves?)
This is the saviour and it's form...

What's done is done,
One last second chance would be enough.
Only on the brink can we see so clearly.
YYYEEEEEEAAAAHHHHH!

Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up

TesseracT - Nocturne

Amends to an End

know this one thing
there's a war for the world
we're losing
blinded by the lies
making our amends to an end!

so when the order's given
and the walls all cave in
you can follow me back home
IN CHAINS!

stolen days all fade away
sign your life away
you are lost from the doubt inside
cut the ties away
or all is lost...

tear away the blindfold
sew your eyes closed
this affliction
is your life lesson

no choice left now
its all downhill NOW!

stolen days all fade away
sign your life away
are we lost from the doubt inside?
cut these ties away
OR ALL IS LOST!!!

sign your life away
we're lost inside
cut these ties away
BEFORE WE'RE GONE!!!

when the weak have fallen
and the wolves all close in
we will leave their broken bones
where they lay...

lost within a dream
hopelessly asleep

AS WE INHERIT THE EARTH
reborn from the ashes
THEY WILL BE LEFT IN THE DIRT
holding on to their regrets

cut these ties away
that keep all the doubt inside our hearts
don't sign my life away
CUZ WE'RE NOT OWNED!!!
