Distorted Reality

[Verse 1]
What's seen in this hollow
Transparent anomalous abyss
A home in a shadow
Of plateaus with habits to remiss

[Verse 2]
In falling to Venus
Distortion was willingly dismissed
What went unforeseen is
Surely what it will not admit

[Verse 3]
The layers that follow
That drop in this blissful ignorance
Will grow as we swallow
Succumb to an all sanguivorous

[Verse 4]
What's common attraction
Escapes haring further down the list
Don't call for reaction
In daze to what silently persists

[Verse 5]
Seen, an everlasting defilade
Tilling the paths to Avalon
Gallant suns placate to pawns
No Signal to what is close beyond

[Spoken]
"Do not break protocol."

[Instrument break]

[Verse 6]
Still absent through the truth of going nowhere
Like orphic tyrants that askew the spines
The carbon glimpse insinuates a repair
That whims the masses as it filters the eyes

[Verse 7]
While congregation ripples wage the ashes
Distortion takes Signal soon to die
Benighted to this paragon deception
And egomania that riddles our kind

[Pre-Chorus]
I was never like them
I was never like them
I was never one of them
I am fit to be condemned
They are despotic mayhem
In lacking prudent meristems
The ivory strengthens ibidem
I will never follow them

[Chorus]
I was never like them
I was simply thrown away to rot
Will anything be real again
I am all imbued to walk alone
Accursed

[Instrument break]

[Verse 8]
The one
Amid
Absconded to the bids of allies

[Verse 9]
The bridge
It lasts
Still thunder fades that cracked the blades in hand

[Verse 10]
My filter is fading
My senses are waning
My functions decaying oh why?

[Verse 11]
If God is this lazy
Then souls are so vainly
Recycled back into this bind

[Verse 12]
I have fallen to some reasons none can see again
I, derealized, might stay numb to what I used to feel

[Verse 13]
If I am to escape this dissociation
Will I still ablate, will I be again?

[Verse 14]
Just try to stay awake
Don't fade into the grey
Try to as we may
The Signal has escaped
Escaped
Escape
