—

Stay asleep, drift away, as I fall behind
A vision of unending light
Give me a reason—just one more will do the trick this time
Surging beneath 

This hazy vision, my eyes shut—only memories remain
Forever slipping through the cracks
Fingers extend, within my grasp, becoming one again
Let's do this once more 

Spilling these words on the page—inkwell running dry
Those oaths in bold-faced text
Connect these dots, point A to B—tell me what it means
Tracing a path

Contemplation fills the void—meditate on these thoughts
Crawling on our hands and knees
Wipe the dust from my palms—hold it up to the light
Was this left for us?

Looking like you've seen a ghost
Darkening your doorway
Is there anything to say
Or have you said it all?

In my dreams I'm awake
Sure that I won't let you down
Both eyes open—you don't know
We pick it up and start again

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's short story "The Beast in the Cave"

Lyrics:

My last days will be spent inside
This cave
Sitting alone, I wonder  
Can I be saved?

Searching behind
The wall of my mind
I am at peace with death

Where I draw my last breath
Fitting as any grave

Searching inside
Myself I find
This place won’t leave me blind

I pull myself to my feet
This is not my resting place

-

Captive by the darkness
I wish someone could show me the way out 
And I will not live in doubt
I will not die tonight
This end will not be mine

-

My heart echoes in my ears
beating
Something has, found me 
I hear its breathing
Is it me, it's seeking?
No time for retreating

-

Captive by the darkness
I wish someone could show me the way out 

-

I ready myself to fight
Take a shot in the dark
Clench my fists, close my eyes
It does not miss its mark

-

Trace my steps back to them
Quickly
Return where we began
We find a path, we light the way
Now I see, I can say
The creature was once a man

-

Captive by the darkness
I wish someone could show me the way out 
And I will not live in doubt
I will not die tonight
This end will not be mine

My last days will be spent inside
This cave
Sitting alone, I wonder  
Can I be saved?

Searching behind
The wall of my mind
I am at peace with death

Where I draw my last breath
Fitting as any grave

Searching inside
Myself I find
This place won’t leave me blind

I pull myself to my feet
This is not my resting place

-

Captive by the darkness
I wish someone could show me the way out 
And I will not live in doubt
I will not die tonight
This end will not be mine

-

My heart echoes in my ears
beating
Something has, found me 
I hear its breathing
Is it me, it's seeking?
No time for retreating

-

Captive by the darkness
I wish someone could show me the way out 

-

I ready myself to fight
Take a shot in the dark
Clench my fists, close my eyes
It does not miss its mark

-

Trace my steps back to them
Quickly
Return where we began
We find a path, we light the way
Now I see, I can say
The creature was once a man

-

Captive by the darkness
I wish someone could show me the way out 
And I will not live in doubt
I will not die tonight
This end will not be mine

Lyrics:
Smoke rises to touch the sky
As you lay here on earth
The pyre burns bright tonight
While I pray, for rebirth

This new day without you
Leaves me breathless and frail
The only thing left to do
I will set sail

Tonight I will depart
With your urn in hand
Plot my course on this chart
Won't stop 'til I reach land

-

Set the flame alight 
(Wake up from sleeping)
Mem'ry burning bright
(Still in my keeping)
Another day without rest
We fade into nothingness

-

Four weeks now I've been at sea
Don't know if I can place 
Your ashes under the cedar tree 
I wonder, is this fate?

There was no time to drop anchor
Before I ran aground
I will never reach the shore
Tonight this ship goes down

-

Set the flame alight 
(Wake up from sleeping)
Mem'ry burning bright
(Still in my keeping)
Another day without rest
And for me there's nothing left

Everything fades to gray
(When we go under)
Sink beneath the waves
(No longer wonder)
On this day I found rest
We fade into nothingness

-

Nothing here, left for me
The tide will carry me out to sea
This voyage is my white whale
And with this vessel I set sail

This is the end
We’ve been waiting for
We’re sinking down, sinking down
As we dissolve

As in a dream
At a thousand feet
We’re sinking down, sinking down
Weightless, and free

—

The world above
The world below
Here, now
As time and water flow

—

Understand
Take my hand
We sink in the sand

It’s picturesque
Life growing from death
From death

—

Monochrome sky
We’re upside down
A portrait of harmony
Underneath the sea

Cling to my bones
Giving you life
A portrait of harmony
Till the end of time

—

Understand
Take my hand
We sink in the sand

It’s picturesque
Life growing from death
From death
