Ancient Civs 04:02
circles of stone scepters of bone spirits and machines and sweet silicon dreams cosmic expanse over animus dance prehistory turns as horizons burn people under the sky ask constellations why even better things end up in the bulk again the metropolis falls and philosopher's halls are left empty and quiet their voices are silent like iron to rust exquisite marble busts are left toppled and broken epitaphs unspoken epitaphs unbroken in the bulk again synchronicity natural electricity moments of regret eternity to reflect on reasoning for collapse someone's saying perhaps sometimes it pays to be humble as monuments crumble prehistory turns machines machines we inspect our machines believe me friends we reflect our machines in the end we direct our machines we expect the end so we connect our machines bring the end bring the end bring the end (machines) synchronicity natural electricity (machines) moments of regret eternity to reflect (machines) on reasoning for collapse someone's saying perhaps (machines) sometimes it pays to be humble as monuments crumble (machines) monuments crumble (machines) monuments crumble (machines) (bring the end) monuments crumble we're detecting machines collecting machines correcting machines perfecting machines we're detecting machines collecting machines correcting machines we're perfect machines

chemical reactions collected in the dust waiting to combust combinations i can't remember for the terms of your surrender waiting to combust -repeat x3- chemical reactions collected in the dust combinations waiting to combust one by one the gears align are set in motion and move in time their teeth they grind together and make a sound that i have never heard in my life but it makes it hard to breath (waiting to combust) in tandem they all revolve working problems that men can't solve ones zeros nothing in between chemical reactions collected in the dust waiting to combust combinations i can't remember for the terms of your surrender i tried to tell them all just how far we had to fall reciprocity terminal velocity and all at ones the stars align they find their voices and speak in rhyme the sky it shines like summer and tells us all to find another conduit for our idolatry (waiting to combust) (combust) chemical reactions collected in the dust waiting to combust chemical reactions collected in the dust waiting to combust

fallen comets all around us crystal cities on the dark side of the globe the perceptions that surround us stretch on forever like the open road if the walls of this container begin to buckle under pressure from within is the crossing inter-planar do we leave behind our skin burn bright the sacraments that we refine (that we refine) don't fight prototypes in the design (in our design) if the tide rises up what if im not swift enough when hypotheticals stop and the engine's turning over -repeat- with the sprockets in alignment map the distance past the quasars in the dark crack the code of this confinement we're combusting when the engine meets the spark (burn bright) (dont fight) burn bright the sacraments that we refine (that we refine) don't fight prototypes in the design (in our design) if the tide rises up what if im not swift enough when hypotheticals stop and the engine's turning over -repeat-

The Call 03:31
come devils, come prophets come microscopic bring lasers, bring tracers bring fiberoptic line come angels on rockets turn these sprockets this is the call and when i fall i wont stay down completely so when you finally come around sing sweetly webs connect to the neck and we finally see behind the veil of our mind if we're bold enough to leave behind gravitational hold on human minds space unfolding as we unwind if we're bold enough if we're bold enough come rebels, find solace come demigoddess mechanics, organics they all will come in time bring silicon (there's no use for it) you're not alone (your flesh is forfeit) if we're bold enough to leave behind gravitational hold on human minds space unfolding as we unwind if we're bold enough if we're bold enough

throw your tablets into the sea don't give in to your apathy whatever we could be whatever we could be if our circuits can survive this arson can they set us free? -repeat- a sixteen step sequence of chemical events a cyclic elevation in the future tense the bulk collapses as oposites attract we thrive on entropy, we react our conditioning grows ever more complex we can see it coming, we know what to expect (mass effects) rapid movement, iris holds the frame rewrite the program, it will never be the same throw your tablets into the sea don't give in to your apathy whatever we could be whatever we could be if our circuits can survive this arson can they set us free? -repeat- a sixteen step sequence (chemical events) a cyclic elevation (in the future tense) the bulk collapses (oposites attract) we thrive on entropy (we react) our conditioning grows (ever more complex) we can see it coming (we know what to expect) rapid movement (iris holds the frame) rewrite the program (it will never be the same)

Hydrogen 04:31
the stars, the stars the stars, the stars build me a rocket, fight gravitation girders and hydrogen tanks for liftoff send up a constellation (the stars) so i don't get lost don't let me get lost pointed at the sun i know my time has come is the phaser set to stun? or am i left to wonder? -repeat- aerodynamics, tuned like a six-string fly like a razor-blade on a fixed wing send up a constellation the oxygen's just fine the oxygen's just fine pointed at the sun i know my time has come is the phaser set to stun? or am i left to wonder? -repeat- the stars, the stars (is the phaser set to stun? or am i left to wonder?) the stars, the stars -repeat- pointed at the sun i know my time has come is the phaser set to stun? or am i left to wonder? build me a rocket, fight gravitation girders and hydrogen tanks for liftoff send up a constellation so i don't get lost don't let me get lost

Proximity 04:04
fortune and atoms and empty space lie between us pacing the latitude lines i still can't find the reasons picture-frame circuitry slowly fading to sepia tones but you don't fade proximity can't erase our history scan the skies, sound the deep build a signal fire upon these city streets scan the skies, sound the deep seeking shelter in the secrets that you keep oceans and atoms and empty space lie between us i been pacing the latitude lines i still can't find the reasons electric light on the map glow with your phosphorescence and we glow with your incandescence proximity can't erase our history i need to have you near to me scan the skies, sound the deep build a signal fire upon these city streets scan the skies, sound the deep seeking shelter in the secrets that you keep but you don't fade and we glow but you don't fade and we glow with your incandescence scan the skies scan the skies

Cosmic Dust 03:41
how much will it cost to rebuild what we lost and melt this permafrost when all reverts to rust and there's no one left to trust can we crack the upper crust we must embrace our techno lust or learn to readjust to only breathing cosmic dust out beyond the sun each breath weighs a ton and every thread comes undone when the many fade to one and there's no one to out-gun just an engine doomed to run but digitize we must as circuitry combusts and we're reduced to cosmic dust how much will it cost to rebuild what we lost and melt this permafrost when all reverts to rust and there's no one left to trust can we crack the upper crust

Whispers 05:19
colonize these constellations if our circuitry's to blame we'd have ended up the same mobilize your battle stations don't give up the spark or we'll fall into the dark lost civilizations lightyears beyond our space but it's you i can't replace if i'm feeling low be the one to hold me if i start to slow whisper the words you told me if i'm feeling low be the one to hold me if i start to slow whisper the words you told me it's always there, what you said to me i still remember how it set me free been on the road a long time now you're here with me and you're all mine when risk and hazard found me you wrapped your arms around -repeat- if i'm feeling low be the one to hold me if i start to slow whisper the words you told me if i'm feeling low be the one to hold me if i start to slow whisper the words you told me when the world is too bright when the sky doesn't look right when the world is too bright when the sky doesn't look right (it's to bright) when you fall asleep at night say your prayer and hold me tight if i'm feeling low be the one to hold me if i start to slow whisper the words you told me if i'm feeling low be the one to hold me if i start to slow whisper the words you told me
