lyrics

Leaving in tact with the rhythm I go
I never thought that things would just show
It was a war torn country, inside my soul
Different factions all seeking control
But this is proving, much was an illusion
I scanned those blueprints, I was human
I knew I'd been misusing outgrew them
My mind state upwards in this new role
Final dawn stretches, in this sentence
I know I crave something, not repentance
It's kind of tricky, I am not sure I should mention
There's a space above, it's like redemption
Whenever I've needed to rise and fall
I stumbled upon, times I could call
I fell, stumbled and sprawled
Reset the unknown, to see new halls

Leave in tact as I search below
No light permeates yet there's growth
This is the energies of endless sun's
Dispersed in beams, there is a flow
Like water rushing to leaves after a flood
Like pumping arteries with blood
The pursuit of life is abundant
Even when you thought there wasn't there is love
Calculated on basic trust, we have sight
This is moreover, a sense of light
Giving no rhythms we know no different
What has a bark, doesn't always have a bite
So I take what I can from fleeting moments
Waking myself up out of these comas
In time, I snapped camera lenses
Taking care not to feel so hopeless

Leave in tact as I bestow
A meaning and purpose in this flow
The way to describe the feeling
Of free falling, yet having a place to go
And space to grow, in this dimension
Behind the walls cos I felt threatened
I haven't needed to stop or give up
Even when I felt death start to beckon
I didn't let him, I pursued
Because the game isn't rigged to lose
Climates can wash you away in storms
So adapt to conditions, then disprove
Be you, what other person can you imagine
The fire burns, it can't be dampened
Fatalistic casualties of the amalgam
War with ourselves, screaming an anthem
Scrapping with phantoms, trying to leave in tact
Try to not get caught up in the attack
On ourselves as not capable
No idea too small, or life doesn't impact
On others, think we never left a mark
No human contact, it would be stark
We have powers to help grow energies
We left in tact with survivors, no Noah's ark
