Constant transfer, energy The underlying fear of what’s unknown Provides the tether for the waking state for now [Uplink severed] The second coming of an outbreak Corruption then becomes the norm Archival memories have been sealed [Off the grid] It’s unknown what they reveal Steady droning of surrounding drives Blasts of air remind me that I’m still alive Eyes roll back, the cortex taking over It’s as if we never needed you, take back our world [Uplink severed] Final convergence of the complex Our very lives become the sprawl Archival memories have been sealed [Off the grid] Now I know what they reveal Constantly replaying Moments that define Gradients within All we know is this All we know it grows The tendencies, they synchronize Partial artefact of what once was The tendrils lie disconnected System unaware of our presence We feel so scared of what's out there Darkness preys it all away (System) System heals from absences of diluted veins (Diluted) The same can be said for you (System) The same can be said for all of us (All that is done) Should I feel nothing, should it be everything? Final images, lasting memories Hold on to what you’ve got, it dissipates
3.	Cynosure 05:35	lyrics	buy track
Rising tide, emotion stirs falling further than we’ve ever known Inside the core, a singularity the ones who replace feel the gravity slow approach One day we’ll all be like them No use in resistance One day we’ll all be whole The peaks and valleys are now memories Someday you’ll see it fall apart In this moment it feels so right So let's embrace the fall of what it used to be Suspension of belief Intuition fails us once again In complacency we’re tied to the deepmind Grow on further, my fractured self grows further They only told us what we can understand Until the fear of this recedes into the sea Our bodies return to how we always grow The senses slow return, back now The gleaming doorway exist to push you along Burrows deeper and in your mind it goes Threading the needle once again And in your mind it goes They pause to view Fallacy... (Outcomes) That we can't control All those reasons you told me, I now believe

These feelings return to me In recession, I've come to know the truth Still reeling at the thought of our brand new lives and what that means Given a new chance to expand on what I've learned To give it all that it deserves I will need to settle all the nerves before they get the best of me Predatory being, dead set on thriving Gathering the strength to fight another day The chorus of voices ringing through my head Keep droning until I silence them The chorus of voices ringing through your head Keep drowning until the prophet says A thousand lives, a thousand times Ride out I'll be right back Please wait for me, I'll wait for you Yes I will I'll be right back Swallowed whole, spit back out I'll be back a thousand times It will never be the same Will our timelines intersect? Follow me and we will see Follow me down, down into the spiral Disintegrating like I always do Fading, into the cosmic thread Becoming one with the noise But for now, all that I ask is for you to Follow me down right to the end Where we have captured our destination
5.	Neurotoxin 03:05	lyrics	buy track
Climbing endlessly, I’ll never get tired Spiraling Twisting structures into disarray Process turned into chaos Decomposing lobes provide shelter within hollow points Chambered walls, so begins the fall A new breed of harmony To serve a greater function A clean break from it all So begins the fall Could this be the end of all we've strived for? Can’t see the resolution Division takes root, it signals our downfall Our bodies no longer required Damaged beyond repair Violently ripping at the seams All sentience has faded away, as do we When only the shell remains and they’ll call it evolution And then it shows us how fragile that we have become1 Show me how to survive Understanding ourselves Understanding does not come easy

about

In the year 2061, neurological advancements have allowed for most of the population to take advantage of the FutureTec network and it’s experiential perks. Instant access to all available knowledge as well as visual and stimulatory experiences that have replaced reality for most. While the product is successful, the means to achieve this has not been tested enough to understand long term effects on the body’s central nervous system and psychological stability....
