Dark Tranquillity
A Memory Construct (ep)
1. A Memory Construct
A memory self-aware
To windows still left open
With all parts rearranged
To find a truth that suits us
Behind veil of dogma
Preconceived illusions reign
Strong-willed determination
Will shatter these walls
Turn our heads to face the way
Our fears have led us on now
Awake to find the vision eyes
Deceive us all the time
It’s all there is
Just a memory construct
A temporary glitch
In our imagination
Set to work against our reason
And devise what is not right
So when our worlds collide
It’s under different skies
Turn our heads to face the way
Our fears have led us on now
Awake to find the vision eyes
Deceive us all the time
Do you remember
Do you recall
Do you remember
What in our hearts we saw
Let us make it real
This creation of our thoughts
And see what building stones
We have brought with us
2. Sorrow's Architect
This architect of sorrow
Matches words to his reality
Ashen filter lets no light in
Stories counter every more
This happens when nothing happens
Deaf to the orchestra of reason
To feign a force of creativity
Blind to the truth
The stories now betray
This sorrow’s architect is broken
Wishes as predictions fail
Slave to faith and not to reach
Who mends a pattern unbroken
Who tends to the one unharmed
Who says your world is not real
Who questions why you feel
