Dark Tranquillity
Moment
1. Phantom Days
It doesn't make it any less real
Once you feel it
Rage with the fire of insight
These are the days that
Favors the emotional, an amplified belief
When effective and unbiased I want my eyes to be
It might be lost and gone to memory belong
It doesn't make it any less real
Once you feel it
Rage with the fire of insight
These are the phantom days
Behind thе reason once we nullify intеnt
Ignorance be just when defeatist minds prevail
In dreams they slip away yet this feeling lingers on
It doesn't make it any less real
Once you feel it
Rage with the fire of insight
These are the phantom days
What remains of indecision determined by resolve
Vicariously through others I see what I can be
It might be lost and gone to memory belong
It doesn't make it any less real
Once you feel it
Rage with the fire of insight
These are the phantom days
2. Transient
To a fleeting wealth of knowledge
We stand now idly by
As it crashes and burns far from our grasp
The ages-old dichotomy
Between knowledge and belief
One priori judgement at a time
In judgement defined
In our lifestyle, apathy
So incapable
In only observation and reaction
We free ourselves of history
In opinion and false deception
What feats of our imagining
We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Confirmation biases
Let me go, let me go
We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Resistant, transient
Let me go, let me go
Fall to the depths of desire's reach
At the hands of our own device
Understanding kept at arm's length
With opinions close to the chest
Hurtful, cold, beyond reproach
Resisting to be called
One form of denial at a time
Through judgement defined
In our lawless ignorance
So untouchable
No liberation or deduction
We feed into the narrative
In speculation and reification
You gather up the fallacies
We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Confirmation biases
Let me go, let me go
We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Resistant, transient
Let me go, let me go, let me go
One hit and you walk away
Irredeemable
In only observation and reaction
We free ourselves of history
In opinion and false deception
What feats of our imagining
We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Confirmation biases
Let me go, let me go
We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Resistant, transient
Let me go, let me go, let me go
3. Identical to None
You've got to resist
Take it in through osmosis
The narrowing ideas
That nestle in your mind
The gradual absorption
Of tension built through time
Distorted false depictions
Can't stand the test of life
I see a dissonant figure
Rise up
What are you in the eyes of strangers
You are identical to none
Why this disparity of thoughts
When you are identical to none
They want to see it burn
Not deal the final hand
The cleansing ash of others denied
Is on your breath
What should have been said
What should have been done forgotten
What should have been said
What should have been done denied denied
I see a dissonant figure
Rise up
What are you in the eyes of strangers
You are identical to none
Why this disparity of thoughts
When you are identical to none
Borne out of frustration
Of never being seen
The dissonant rise
Why this disparity of thoughts
When you are
Identical to none
What should have been said
What should have been done forgotten forgotten
What should have been said
What should have been done denied denied
What should have been said
What should have been done forgotten forgotten
What should have been said
What should have been done denied denied
What are you in the eyes of strangers
You are identical to none
Why this disparity of thoughts
When you are identical to none
4. The Dark Unbroken
As the night is closing in
Unresolved and undefined
Denies the need and challenges necessity
Deprivation in a chaos of words
The hours break the sinews of resistance
The endline blurs
Where the impossible and outsized
Never learn to coexist
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
Not for want alone
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we silence what is never said
How can we scream away the noise
It's burning from the inside out
The restless tries not to remember
This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain
Must remain in the unbroken dark
In stages of infinite time
It lies and it waits
The nerve endings touch
The surface of my dreams
And what seems like life
Stretches out eternally
I took on too much
The hours fled
And I was left here
Stranded in doubt
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
Not for want alone
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we kill what is never given
How can we scream away the night
It's burning from the inside out
The restless tries not to remember
This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain
Must remain in the unbroken dark
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we silence what is never said
How can we scream away the noise
It burns on the inside
As I try to not remember
These endless, useless insights
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we keep what is never spoken
Here in the unbroken dark
5. Remain in the Unknown
In the flicker of a light
In a shadow on the wall
In the reassuring voice
Of apophenia, my friend
I hear signals in the static
I see distant figures calling
And I know it's not to be
Yet let there be revelation
I see movement in every color
I see patterns, I see forms
There is a way to feel affirmed
A way to know for certain
Where answers to our questions
Remain in the unknown
There is a way to feel
A way to know
Where meaning and logic
Remain in the unknown
Apophenia, my friend
In ripples across the water
Our seething minds embrace
The false positive of comfort
To register as nothing
Nothing but willed illusion
I know just what this is
But please, let it be a revelation
I see movement in every color
I see patterns, I see forms
There is a way to feel affirmed
A way to know for certain
Where answers to our questions
Remain in the unknown
There is a way to feel
A way to know
Where meaning and logic
Remain in the unknown
With nothing to break the illusion
To break the spell
Just knowing what this is not
Is enough to dispell the doubting
And give into delusion
Let it be revelation
It gives purpose to the mundane
I see movement in every color
I see patterns, I see forms
There is a way to feel affirmed
A way to know for certain
Where answers to our questions
Remain in the unknown
There is a way to feel
A way to know
Where meaning and logic
Remain in the unknown
6. Standstill
Where are we now? Where are we going?
To the ends of our worlds, if not further
Where are we now? Where are we going?
To the other side of right
From wherever I am
I call to you
From wherever I am tonight
We are strangers where we stand
Do I have to be the one to let this go forever
To see what lies unknown?
I don't want to be the one to let this go forever
We are what we can, we can only hope to forget
This distance-created curse
Of silence and waking nights
I thought I could see an end
To do whatever we can
To raise the stakes
To make everything count tonight
We are strangers where we stand
Do I have to be the one to let this go forever
To see what lies unknown?
I don't want to be the one to let this go forever
So this is where we are tonight
We're at a standstill till the end
From wherever I am
I call to you
I call to you
From wherever I am
From whoever I am tonight
We are strangers where we stand
Do I have to be the one to let this go forever
To see what lies unknown?
I don't want to be the one to let this go forever
So this is where we are tonight
There is nowhere to go from here
7. Ego Deception
Senses die in me
To the point of resistance failure
Numb to the noise and the self-defining
Liberation of the ego deceived
Liberation of the ego deceived
With the self negated
Taken to the core of
Reaction formation
Sublimation channeling
Reaction formation
Sublimation channeling
Idealize the maker
Move the application
Above the form
Till it brings you down
I cannot feel your pain
I cannot see your fear
Though I can sense your anger now
I'm just the one who wants
Just the one who needs
Locked in ego deception
Hours die in me
As deception powers to resist the known simplicity
In the giving of what others could want
Oblivious and headstrong
Liberation lies within
Oblivious to constructs coming down
Deception formation
Sublimation channeling
Deception formation
Sublimation channeling
Reshaping of reality
Reinforcing a lie
On which it's built upon
I cannot feel your pain
I cannot see your fear
Though I can sense your anger now
I'm just the one who wants
Just the one who needs
Locked in ego deception
Vilification of the unbeliever
Strike fear in inquiry
Justify the perceived intention
Ego deception
He cannot feel your pain
And cannot see your fear
Though he can sense your anger
Just the one who wants
Just the one who needs
Locked in ego deception
8. A Drawn Out Exit
So burn the trail and keep the flames alight
Before the end appears inside the haze
Bare the shadow cast from journey's end
The final curtain falls, there's nothing there
Without a trace
We lie in wait again
You lost the will to feel
And take the highs and lows for granted
Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different?
I know, I know, I know
Far away and out of our reach
Our broken ways abandoned long ago
Freed inside the walls of your design
Non-conforming, wavering alone
A drawn out
Exit from the norm
You lost the will to feel
And take the highs and lows for granted
Is this wasted on the numb knowing this won't make a difference?
I know, I know, I know
Is there bliss in resisting
The fortune of feelings we hold?
The sharp edges that determine our shape
The scars that now expose the pain
Our broken bodies speak of triumph
Our face reveals what should be known
Yet, you burn the trail
Burn
You lost the will to feel
And take the highs and lows for granted
Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different?
I know, I know, I know
9. Eyes of the World
Bring to an end
This avoidance when you close your eyes
What is now
Had a beginning phase that came to pass
Now the eyes of the world are upon you
We all want to know
Now the eyes of the world are upon you
Will we ever see?
I can feel it coming down
As the walls give way and crumble
I can feel it coming down
And I will be watching
You take the bait
It pulls you in and takes you down
And these days
It seems we miss what lies between, the lies between
We can sense the way they'll spin us
They'll spin us round and round till we forget
Till we forget
Lead the fires to the core
To the end now within reach, we must resist
We must resist
Now the eyes of the world are upon you
We all want to know
Now the eyes of the world are upon you
Will we ever see?
I can feel it coming down
As the walls give way and crumble
I can feel it coming down
And I will be watching
Yeah, I will be watching
Now the eyes of the world are upon you
Will we ever see?
I can feel it coming down
As the walls give way and crumble
I can feel it coming down
And I will be watching
Yeah, I will be watching
10. Failstate
Temper the burn
With the death of a night, unending
The voices fall again
In judgement and scorn
The sky disappears
To fragment our blind perception
Forge every waking thought
And stoke our fears
To the tune of the apocalypse
To the tune of the apocalypse
Brave the silent hours
Resist the fail state
There is death inside
And nothing but failure
And you will never know its name
You will never know its name
With a line descending
As the voices call again
The barriers appear
To block out our baser instincts
Force each and every thought
To amplify fear
To the tune of the apocalypse
To the tune of the apocalypse
Brave the silent hours
Resist the fail state
There is death inside
And nothing but failure
And you will never know its name
You will never know its name
The final set of fours
Repeat the affirmation
Face the indecision
Resist the fail state
To the tune of the apocalypse
To the tune of the apocalypse
Brave the silent hours
Resist the fail state
To the tune of the apocalypse
To the tune of the apocalypse
Brave the silent hours
Resist the fail state
