lyrics

Owed all you have needed
In the dark the debt pays out
Do not look down
-
Hold on to a feeling
In the light as worlds collide
It burns inside

In search of sanctum, falling further away
Dystopic permanence we dance in the sun
Eyes watching closely
No signal or sign
-
Carelessly tending to your wounded and dead
Watch as he flinches, weakness leaving his heart
Time passes slowly
No memory, no life, no pain

Dormant, volatile and tame
Harbors all that lies in wait until
Fractured, fraught, a dark unnamed
This trigger pulls, bent to my will
Strike and clasp a rift un-quelled
Swift crashing flanks to formless black
Hold them close, a voice compels
Panic attacks a sleeper cell

Owed all you have needed
In the dark the debt pays out
Do not look down
-
Hold on to a feeling
In the light as worlds collide
The gift of life

Lost and elated, hours fritter and waste
Put down the animal, control the condemned
Keep breathing deeply
Give nothing away
-
Depraved indifference unencumbered, enthralled
A pound a flesh, a hole the size of your head
Partitioned patients
The breaking of load bearing walls

No sanctum, no sign!
New eyes, no signal!
No memory, no life
There is no pain!

Dormant, volatile and tame
Harbors all that lies in wait until
Fractured, fraught, a dark unnamed
This trigger pulls, bent to my will
Strike and clasp a rift un-quelled
Swift crashing flanks to formless black
Hold them close, a voice compels
Panic attacks...!

No sanctum, no sanctum, no sign

Dormant, volatile and tame
Harbors all that lies in wait until
Fractured, fraught, a dark unnamed
This trigger pulls, bent to my will
Strike and clasp a rift un-quelled
Swift crashing flanks to formless black
Hold them close, a voice compels
Panic attacks a sleeper cell!
