[Verse 1]

Winds that shine a bright, blinding dark

Kerosene flames so cold they crack

Suns that blow becalmed twisters

Ferocity sleeping

Nothingness stacked

Intestines worn to shield the inward limbs

Screams unheard

Deafening thoughts

Levitating ground

The solid water burns

Liquid stone

The immobile turns


[Chorus]

Corrosion soothing the hurt within

Surroundings reaching to touch your skin

Progress in stalemate, death is alive

Eyes and mind glint, glints collide


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 2]

Pains sending shivers of well-being down your spine

Sounds of healing crack your bones

Lamentation carving into smiling faces

Surrounded by everyone, still you're all alone

Wormholes set as halos over sinners' skulls

Leaves chasing the fallen air away

A lifetime of needle-eyes too wide to escape

Where honesty lies and angels betray


[Chorus]

Incisions mending the wounds within

Surroundings breach the surface of your skin

Progress in static, life has died

Eyes and mind glint, glints collide


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Disorder putting everything back in place

Chaos the obtainer of lucidity

Tranquility created by raging turbulence

Your solid note frequency out of phase

The fractals of your soul - by symmetry abandoned

Confusion calms your overheating mind

You're the memory no one ever had

You're the one thing you will never find


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 4]

Reincarnation trapped in a life span

Corpses bolted to the ground arise

Omnilights flooding your world with their darkness

As your reflection turns its back to your eyes


[Chorus]

You've entered your self-created antiparadise

Your universe processed and trapped in jars

Never ending insanity

Down in the hell of mind, where glints collide
