lyrics

Faining recognition practice in futility
clung to a single day perpetual
inheriting a new existence, that of a waking dream
as cognizance is foiled by times insidious passing

wrinkles etched by experience becoming smoother
dissolving tangibility gives way to raw emotion

consciousness is shattered into fragments like glass
transparent yet jagged
slicing away found memories
feeble attempts to keep whole

immured in ones own mind
eyes once sharp and eager
now dulled by confusion
we all rush to grow only to falter into ages trappings
a vile disease becomes destroyer of our sanity

clinging to the fraying remnants of this reality
falling victim to an altering chemistry
leaving one to wander
alone in this internal Brueghelian horror-scape

engulfing perception confinement as sickness erases them
degrading synaptic plasticity

witnessing ones own demise peering through tiny pinholes
all we've ever known seeps into the black as its surrounding

cast away in vast ocean of white noise
treading barely head above the din
transfixed by the faces that appear from just below the surface
and dissolve as the current draws back into uncertainty
caught in the rip to eventually drown
while eroding the shores of rationality
that was once only haven

any hopes fade quickly with no solution in sight
all we hold dearly becoming unrecognized

illness prevails against recollection as only fear shines through this veil of dementia

bound to a single day perpetual
engulfing perception confinement as sickness erases them
dissolving tangibility
gives way to raw emotion
derealization
sharp cerebral noise
distortion heightening delusion
magnifying terror involuntary lose of self
cognizance is foiled by times insidious passing
a vile disease become destroying of a faded memory

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
