Darkgrove 01:42
Beneath the water they whisper Stuck, the light shines and shimmers Reflections in the river Drown me now, my skin shakes and shivers I can’t move Paralyzed, gasping for air Forever locked in this stare White noise keeps the clouds around All along, the lies you allowed Are the reason you can’t hear me now Beneath the water they linger Stuck, the light dims and darkens Reflections in the river Drown me now, my skin shakes and shivers

Evergreen 04:04
Take a long hard look in the water Do you ever wonder what it took for this to occur There’s discord buried deep in your head Sow it up with needle and thread Wake up! I need you to wake up! Think clearly [open your eyes and clear your mind] Do you recall where all of this started? A black and white canvas painted half-hearted You always seem to dance to the beat of the drum It’s part of the plan, it’s the song we were taught to hum White light pulls them into the void Why has this comfort left them destroyed I know the sense you suppress In time, I know Time again, it makes you less Willing to change but never making progress You never knew that you were drifting away And now your eyes are faded grey You never knew that you were drifting away Eyes hard as stone, you’re a part of the fray Look at me now, your eyes are faded grey Conformed, your mind is slipping away Now I see your arrogance on display Consumed by vanity, you’re part of the fray Look at me now, your eyes are grey and decayed Conformed, your mind is slipping away Look at me now! The lack of interest branded on your head Reveals the heart of the lies you’re fed You don’t know how your roots have spread While all this time, in the palm of their hand Lack. Of. View. Do you recall where all of this started? A black and white canvas painted half-hearted As the leaves fall, So the people, All fall with no thoughts in their head As for the evergreen Their eyes bright and keen Unearth the roots of the plague that is spread Eyes faded grey Now we know Leaves will fall, Watch them crawl Down! As they sleep, Still can’t think Sleep!

Glaciers 05:29
The air is still Shrouded in mist It raises bumps on my skin In the mist I stand tall The beauty of it all I hear the mountain’s call In the wake of it all It’s all I can recall I hear the glaciers fall I lay awake at night I am haunted by the green light I’ve wasted my life toiling away All color is fading grey Too late to do anything Life is a bell you can’t unring As I sleep I’m sinking deep Take me away Cursed with this dream I’m afraid Life is lost, what’s the cost? Earth is frayed What’s the cost? Earth is frayed In the wake of it all I hear the Glaciers fall Deep cracks Now the Earth is fading I remember a time when the sun still shined Melt down Humanity is fading I have no peace of mind, life is unaligned I am miles away And I’ve been betrayed To my distaste You’ve paid! Don’t let the world fade grey Full of disdain You’re fake! You break the food chain Living life, all along not knowing your mistake I hear the glaciers fall Standing tall, I hear the mountain’s call The Mist is fading, life’s degrading They whisper soft and they whisper long They sing of songs that bring awe and dismay Watch long enough and they’ll take your breath away Melt in the sea Look deep, you’re a helpless dying breed

The Seven 04:14
My hope for the fallen ones Is that they embraced and sang Until the end came Small hope The Seven tore deep, they ripped them from me My hope is lost from my perspective I now see agony In those woods I became a man Forever scarred, I will end The Seven Lying face down on the floor My mind aches, I open the door The first of the grieving four Pitch black, a smile like a nightmare Clutch my chest, frozen from the hollow glare Deep with a heart of stone I master my reprise A fall chill whistles a warm tone, and the wind the wind strums notes only I can harmonize Only I can harmonize Time is nigh, I’m searching for their signs When the night fire turns to blue What should I do? I can’t see through! Run outside, search and find They shift like ghosts, moving deep in the night Small signs, look for the blight I’ve searched the Earth edge to edge Mocked, beaten, I’m drifting in the wind Dark shadow shade, now I blend in I will not bend Locked up! With my secret Looking back is my weakness How far must I sink Blood runs easier than ink How far must I sink I need to shut it off Flip a switch, numb me from the head down Can’t you hear, I need to talk I chase a ghost, she sneaks around town I see right through your masquerade Take your mask off, bleed with me Take your mask off, bleed with me How far must I go? How heavy can this be? How far must I sink? Will you ever stay with me? Blood runs easier than ink

Is my fate written in stone I’ve traveled miles and I’ve yet to atone For all these deeds! Because of me, all the people bleed They serve a king who knows no peace Left to right, they’re acting out of spite A cool night soon turns to frostbite And I can’t help but think What could be, without the jinx Walking all alone Drawn toward the lodestone Deep sleep, I’ve never been more at peace The purple cascade Reminds me when I laid in the twilight glade Our time was bitter sweet Too much for my need Now I’m haunted by the memory I am haunted Am I voiceless? Can this secret ever be known? Is this worthless? Are all my days written in stone? I am obsessed With this curse that lingers over me Is fate a prison, Or will I finally find my release? Underneath the tree I see the way you regard me You burn me The divert, it hurts It was all just fake concerns Is this why I flee? You cut me deep, you haunt me All these thoughts bottled up inside of my head Get out of my head Before I act and regret Am I voiceless? Can this secret ever be known? Is this worthless? Are all my days written in stone? I am obsessed With this curse that lingers over me Is fate a prison, Or will I finally find my release? I roamed the Earth I was in search of answers The signs were inferred I never knew you were the cancer Deep in my skin I should have never let you in My eyes are dark and distant Tired, I was affixed with ambition At the end of the road, your eyes are dark and distant Our lives are affixed with ambition

Opening my eyes How have I lost so much time I run, I flee I’m catching sight Here and now Without? Listen to the wind She bends through the trees I’ve never felt so free The warmth, the breeze It fades deep into the sunset I will never forget what you took from me Pull the shades back And reveal to me The game you’ve guaranteed Humans don’t know the way Lack of devotion Look me in the eye Tell me now, why should you share? Safe in the coven Save what you’ve stolen The choices defy And have no time to spare How can I know that I am sure? Would you take me up, If I gave you the cure? So to Hell with this place Let me be plain You are all to blame I see hate I see lust Look around, Earth is loomed in disgust Bite down hard on my tongue Life is standing still I bide my time My heart is strung How much blood will you spill? Through all this time I realize Hell is not a place Hell is all these people! It’s not a place! Hell is all these people! You spit in my face And then tell me it rains Bending an ear, except you’re not really here As the air thins It makes my head spin I need to go back home Earth must change Or forever be estranged

I feel the dark Sweeping over me, it leaves a sharp mark Not seen, not heard I’m a ghost that’s been blurred Most days I can barely follow I am hollow

Exhale 02:38
Lost in sensation Unhinged, it’s breaking my foundation (It’s crumbling) Drowning in my own desire I can’t shake the weight of my thirst It’s bearing down Push me under, I am submerged Eyes open wide, floating on the other side For a short time `Resurface and converge I am revolted by my mind Sleeping alone I am stunned by the weight of the stone Roots set deep My limbs are fixed to the ground and I cannot breathe It is crushing me Hiding, I see the headlights driving straight at me Buried underneath This five year dream is awakening It is burdening It burdens me with half truths of my life Straps pulled tight Force me towards delight Not alright I now feel too contrite Save me from the cycle All I feel is pain Struggling to abstain My life is a stain Every day is a new maze And at the end I’m left longing to be erased It is a dark road to a dark place Where there is no face, nor space For I alone am there, Deceptively happy Perhaps this body would rest remarkably, Alone in the ground Take a deep breath Now exhale

Searching and Searching This complex Gray Matter was designed with a single purpose A great discovery To fill this emptiness inside This black hole within never ceases Always asking always begging Always begging What can fill this void? Only a great discovery With endless majesty and beauty Can saturate the unseen eye To its depths Can you fathom a light that never darkens? Outside of time and space it sustains Holding the world in its hands It remains There is something so improving to the mind When discerning divinity A subject so vast that our thoughts Are lost in its immensity So deep that our pride is drowned In its infinity So deep that our pride is drowned In its infinity Drown Me! Will this be the cure for the Silent Earth?
