lyrics

Look out below, for all that lies beneath is hollow
This nothing colour breaks through
Imperfect dark defines truth
Still falling slow, the whistling of the air around you
This scope colliders blinding
Lies in the light are beaming
Down there we’ll go with all the other waiting islands
Into the black we’re drifting
This phase reversing shifting
Then swallowed whole a morsel of divine resistance
Felled from the lips of anger
Frozen in liquid turned to gold

It’s all just words to me
Cos nobody's listening now
You’ll see what you must see
Cos nobody’s watching now

I won’t believe it til it’s in front of me
It’s only real when you want it to be
I won’t believe it til it’s in front of me
It’s just as real as you want it to be

Drift out of mind in rivers cutting swathes away from
The past it dulls receding
Leaving a wake of dreaming
These currents slow as time pulls on in endless circles
Like dust we blow in fragments
Vessels of empty instance
With you I’ll flow in streams we made our own creation
Washing away the silence
From entropy to violence
This arrow throws a final stab towards the ending
Promise to take me with you
Our new forever in the cold
