This city sleeps alone. Separate, encaged, with their bodies so far from home. They're taking away that which you should remember. (I can't recall..) I can't remember the last time I felt alive. We're all searching for something; to keep this city breathing on our own. I watched you walk alone. We felt this closing in around us, still no one found us. (We're all searching) These walls aren't listening to save you tonight. This city's survival relies on borrowed time. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, they're gonna find you. Don't let them entwine their lies in truth, they're gonna find you. "If you've got the time, I can free your heart and mind. But you've got to trust in something bigger than all of us." I've never seen these lines drawn in sand before. I've never seen such misery, I keep coming back for more. I am machinery, free to dream. Born against this scenery, where nothing's as it seems. So close your eyes to this city's night and it source of light. We're all living for, we're all living on borrowed time. "They came for me, they'll come for you too."

Caleb 03:10
Born and bred of a monochromatic race, where the full spectrum's buried. We tick our heads and our bodies in time and pace, while our hearts stay heavy. Our lives are led in this chronic and stagnant place, to which our minds stay married. This fear of death keeps our spirits in check and chaste, as I hurry on my way. I feel the pavement crack with every step, and every breath may be my last. "This is not me." Lost and forged in the depths of stars. Blinded by our freedom, misleading, devoid of feeling. I am only one, meant for so much more. What am I here for? What's in store? "Just carry on." (Am I typical, or something metaphysical?) Let it go. Still I dream in counter-clockwise melodies. This is not me.

Auner 03:33
I walk to the rhythm of the rain. As these vacant shells surround me, marching proudly to their ill-infected ways. Slight recognition, and I'm losing grip on everything. My mind reels. I hear him say: "You are not who you're supposed to be." You are infinite. We all belong. "So come with me, as bolts of complacency crash against the storm." A hail of clockwork hearts will fall alone, and he will catch but one. Time is of the essence, for our protection from the rain. This light we radiate, brings us closer to the pain. It won't stay away. On the verge of tears I hear him say. "You are not who you're supposed to be." You are infinite, we are the alchemists. Now it's created a change in me. What ever happened to living for what we believe in? (His eyes reflect the rhythm of everything this culture's hidden.) Please, don't take this for granted. Please, don't take this from me. Somewhere someone holds the ground beneath me. We all follow footsteps of what the past laid out for us. We all make the same mistakes, and you'd expect the same from me. As the storm breaks, I awake. This horizon steals my breath away.

Storrow 02:34

Awake 04:16
We sold ourselves and our fathers dreams, for a backdrop scene in which we fell into. This feeling of nothing running through my veins. Just another day in daze. I will remember this day, for love is not real, those who don't feel scream, "It's my life." We've made shameless mistakes. As we marched to our graves we fell into. Prismatic eyes that were buried alive see so clearly for what seems the first time. (Is it all in my mind?) I'll leave what I've learned behind. Chemically disabled minds, our hearts resemble clockwork inside. As we survive on borrowed time. This spirit screams, but I'm just a dreamer finally awakened. Feel the ground rise to my feet. Revealing every secret under these streets, As this city sleeps. "Wake up, My screams are sirens, haunting your dreams." "Wake up, Your dreams are showing me who you're meant to be." My mind pleads, "Please just leave me where I lie." While this heavy heart dreams, I reluctantly open my eyes. Finally I see past these fragments of memory, I'm accepting my destiny. These days I'll take from a new-found position of strength. I am now awake.
6.
Lotus 04:37
I've got these dope-sick hands that won't stop trembling. Glass eyed, paralyzed, dependent to a lack of feeling. From a path that transmits truth from region to region. Seeing isn't always believing. Vacant shells, mistaken for bodies, and we're all so far from home. Born again right on these streets you thought would be the end of me. Only set me free. This down regulation has taken over our lives, drowned out our insides. With the water I rise, to the horizon in sight. I take a breath and keep moving on. This isn't heaven or hell, it's not black or white. This isn't war, it's so much more. To bring this city back to life; I would fight, I would die. (The things I'd compromise) Just to rise above these stagnant lies. (for out of sight, out of mind) And leave this senseless world behind. Do you ever dream of something more? Have you ever dreamt that you're something worth fighting for? And here I lie, so sound asleep. Buried at the bottom of the sea. I lie so peacefully. Knowing everything will be ok. And here I'll stay.
7.
Horizon 04:28
If these horizons saw for so many miles. It must mean something more. We all have scars inside. But to see for so many miles must mean something.
8.
Misera 03:50
She holds the ground, and still she doesn't know about me and all that I've seen. This person I'm supposed to be. You could fall asleep tonight, and wake up to a warmer shade of white. I'll see you soon. Just hold on. Even if it took all night I'd still find these words for you, scattered on the way back home. With these arms around you we've been holding back. Every day is the same. If we built this up to watch it fall? We'll build this up, and watch it fall again. I've never seen a sign of your need in love from me, But I know it's burning. And I know you've seen mothers and fathers that once built one body, now lie in separate cemeteries. How could you ever want this life? To do this on your own. It's all you've seen. How could you ever love someone and watch them walk alone? So just breathe while these streets crack cold and sleep. So hollow, so shallow. So believe in these things that keep us here. How could you ever love someone and watch them walk alone? You'll see.
9.
Betrayal 03:43
Everything that has led to this falls like grains of sand straight through my fists. As I kept drawing lines through it, they'd connect and make sense of this treason to the reason we exist. Tell me are you ashamed? As you stare back at a doppleganger face? This feeling of nothing has amounted to something more. As it did, I said just, "We will never be alone again." "For I have my life, my will." Trapped inside (My eternal bliss) Under skin that never quite fit. (It's never transit) I know there's something you're not telling me. We stood like stone as the fires raged against our homes. What's the use in promise when the end of all things looms above us? In this place you create there are no gods, only idols and frauds. Tell me will you be saved? I can't stop to start again. You are an anathema, cursed and damned by the life you live to hate. Let's illuminate. Skyscrapers blaze. Smoke signals reveal a familiar place. This unwanted throne will be my grave.

Prophet 04:54
I close my eyes. This lifeless body is not me. Everything and everyone around me is falling down. In the tunnels light I'm stopped by a sign, to rise above a crowd of hearts that beat in perfect time with mine. He's ill-equipped, a silhouette, a genetic copy from his blood to his sweat. It's as surreal as it gets and it's haunting me now. Trapped in adaptions, distracted. Where there's only one way in and one way out. This stream of consciousness, the scream of the insomniacs. We reel to this primordial ordeal. "Step lightly, this culture's cracked so slightly" These bones are brittle but this soul has got a score to settle. What once was weakness gives me strength. (This lifeless body is not me) I feel this body rise again, as the crowded masses gather round me. (This lifeless body it haunts me)
11.
Gathering 02:12
This is fate. These streets were meant to further your escape, from these bodies meant for more than what they seem. Born to dream but held and hung by hooks, torn between the truth of what you are and who you're supposed to be. We are the ones that left for; We are the ones that live for something pure. Come all and join as one. Transcending what we've done, we'll stand our ground together sacrificing what we were. Surrender yourself. Entwine your heart and mind. How long will we wait? How long will it take to break the cycle? These tangled nerves hold such potential. Wake up. We've been holding back. Sacrifice yourself and join us, the collective unconscious. So forget and reflect if you want this.

Somnia 02:26
13.
As we march in fractured locations, we won't drag our regrets. "Just don't break formation." Keep a steady watch over your shoulder. (Never celebrate until it's over) As we await further orders from the lips of those who kiss. And as you're standing on the outside of your own body, you're alone only on the inside. We are the rapture. I've finally found what I've been searching after. In wreckage rising from disaster. A hope that burns amidst the ashes. We are the rapture. "See, there is this thing that they call regret and with our bodies inside out we will disagree, and disbelieve, and often cry ourselves to sleep at night." But we will be alright, for we're alive now. "This city will never sleep alone again. That I can promise. And everything you thought life meant it's over, the truth is we never lived at all. So take a look to your left and a look to your right, you're all connected now for the rest of your life. Born again right on these streets for all to see. Some days you might feel sad, you might feel sorrow, but I promise you the sun will rise again tomorrow. And I'm sorry for the pain that you might feel, but I promise you wounds were only made to heal. Let the scars be a reminder that you'll never be that way again. Let us celebrate. It's over." We are the rapture. I finally see the light you held inside. We have the rest of our lives. We are the rapture We finally see the world with open eyes.
