A plagued allegiance to the timeline, Never united to the deadline. A divided, repugnance from which they stain. And so they shall be. A petulance to devour god. But not you. No! You are immovable, and you will be unstoppable. A flame deluge from the obsidian mountains majesty as embers wave in vain. Feel me not as a river destined to the void, but as rock, sand, magma, towering shears, forever scorn. Liberate me, and justice may fall..

Igneous 04:11
Don't need a wound up spring to tell me times have changed Don’t need no falling sand to remind me of the doom of the time span The time has come and quickly left behind Moving with the force of a landslide When all is said we’ll be magma again It just takes the force of the planets Oh the moments gone Can you imagine another chance Another death, another life, another dance Gaining sovereignty from space and time A lonely branch is where we’ll collide It over before it starts
3.
Time had suddenly become everything Tick ticks at what’s in front of me Then it told me ..to let go (woah!) That’s when things got fucked The hours melt into the glow I'll give you to the dawn Watch my hands become numb The Epoch of an aeon Ten thousand years and I’m gone It's not the answer that you hoped for It’s the question that you’ve been waiting for Whoa-ao A neon beam hits my stifled eyes Drop drop through to another side Ten thousand years or another dimension I just wish I knew which direction Stars fade into the dawn The downfall of an aeon Second hands became numb What the fuck have I done It's not the answer that you hoped for It’s the question that you’ve been waiting for Keep singing 'til Death cuts off the Radio
4.
The Eighties 01:45
Bang Crash The span between An Inexorable tessellation Experienced beyond linear time Curious Stolen spirits The illusion of free will Decisions reverberate through space The ire of fate Is there a difference once the ride is over? Behold a multiverse Of froth & flotsam A chorus of futility Do you want to time travel? Pick a place Find a being Whose dreams can change the scenery Watch the loops of lives unravel A passenger in fantasies unwritten Put the pieces back together again And watch them unravel into 1’s and 0’s The past is pixelated But the future is crystalline
5.
The Nineties 03:32
You remind me of the 90’s Zero substance it’s all just a novelty All that flannel, those acid washed jeans You’re just a basket case full of all the small things You remind me of the 90’s Tattooed in grass stains still bleeding from your skinned knees And our rebellious hearts, we fought authority But say it ain’t so cuz now you’re all apologies We made plans to stay best friends Sealed it in blood at the summer’s end I could of sworn things would have never... This new noise is gold soundz on a pure morning While we carry the zero high and dry on Dramamine This boxcar timebomb’s from the 21st century It’s automatic disconnected from my self esteem You remind me of the 90’s
6.
I was supposed to stay sober I was gonna be responsible for once Instead I’m lying here hungover I’m a goddamn mess of a human being I’m just so lucky that you love me Because even I can’t stand myself I was supposed to stay sober But goddamnit I could use some help And all tomorrow’s problems, don’t concern me tonight
7.
Well I really wanna fist fight Father Time I’m sick of getting my ass kicked And always feeling like shit And oh sure well it was fun as first But now it seems like everything that we found fun, it just fucking hurts Woah Well I really wanna control my own fate I’m sick of always fucking up and repeating my mistakes And oh sure I can always swear that it’s my last Without a care about the future or a worry for my past Woah This time it’s gonna be different It’s what they always say So what’s one more chord If we don’t break the chain This time it’s gonna be different It all goes by so fast With every finite breathe We fade away Every pendulum swings Another tree trunk ring We countdown our own decay If you close your eyes You can always rewind To the times we wish could change Hold on to last regrets Until our dying breathes Ain’t it funny how we’re all the same This time it’s gonna be different Maybe next time Maybe next year Or in the next life Things will be different
8.
A proposition, An awakening Become an angel or Death becoming I get the feeling The summer’s dead All your little stories From elation to dread Oh Caldera, I’m ever home Just to be around you Just to hear your voice (in my head) We’ll keep singing Oh nanana Fuck the ending We’ll take it with us I won’t live without you Time won’t live without me Ante Meridiem Right before I drown in the dark Smolder into rolling flames They won’t let me down again Post Meridiem In the dust we breathe in the dark Descending out of phase I won’t let you down again
9.
Evacuation This fever dream Towering Shears Pillars impending The acquiescence A dullness creeps Disintegrated Thin paper dreams Cause I won’t live without you And time won’t live without me Ante Meridiem Right before I drown in the dark Smolder into rolling flames I won’t let you down again I think I lost you forever And now we control time… Burn out Screen’s blank Unwound Sea change In flames Rewind Time’s up
10.
So tell me; what more is there to be afraid of? When the volcano erupts we will leave the mess we’ve created behind We can finally start over I’m buggin out in the wormhole

404 02:56
I feel my molecules move with the wax and the wane I’m searching for a harmony now Between my body and my brain I listen to my synapses sing out Their serenade And as I open my eyes I disassociate I drift away I feel my plasma flow with the pull of the tides Every moment held in captive By our past lives There’s peace in the vacuous hollow of time and space The void it calls out my name It proliferates I drift away
12.
Sedimentary 05:48
1 second ever elusive 2 minutes in we lie in ruins 3 hours day dream The days so quick we leave behind No one, I know can tell me Where does the time go? So off I go on my own Tell me A lonely feather grazes the granite peaks ground down to sand 5 years a war inflamed 8 decades ashes remain 13 centuries turn dust of the memories 21 grains of sand I haven't the heart to tell you sometimes we don’t come back It’s not the answer that you hoped for
13.
Our failures which art forever a curse upon our name Hour glass smashed, the present past an inferno imprisoned in the obsidian Break from our chains this eternal dread etched upon our surfaces the fossils of giants crumbled into dust by the Aeolus winds lead us not back to the start but let our orbit unfurl into a straight line unknown
