Illumination
Come let us
Turn our minds from all this
Conflict of these sides
Only Us can save us
One last try
For us to solve this
The common thread
Followed to our bliss
It’s all right
Rise or fall
Depends on this moment
The spark of our illumination
Are we not
More than our heritage?
How does this end well?
Only Us can save us
One last try
For us to solve this
The common thread
Followed to our bliss
It’s all right
Love or war
Reflect on which one is
The object of your desire
For all that we are
Depends on this moment
The spark of our illumination
One last try
For us to solve this
We hold in our hands
The common thread
Followed to our bliss
~Our higher selves~
It’s all right

Symptoms
Cite the narrative
To justify another dead...
Amplify the myth
That we’re somehow safer...
Shift the blame for it...
-The cycle never ends-
And I know too well
The symptoms of your kind
As I run for my life
Can’t deny the wish
For vengeance to befall your ilk
Cauterize the wound
It’d all be so simple
But for evidence
That change is coming yet
And I know too well
The symptoms of your kind
As I vote for my life
And your time to end
Should we stay silent
Locked in what is
Let our non-violent
Be martyred to your cause
Just resign ourselves
To your bloodstained laws
That celebrate freedom
If not for all involved
So zealous in your fight
To nullify our lives
The killing toll you’ve wrought
A culture you’d cancel
And I know too well
That something’s not right
As I lift my voice
To silence their cries
And I know
Soon they’ll know
The symptoms of your kind

Unlived
Something inside
Won’t be silenced
Fearing the loss of
Your life unlived
The road is long
Wanting just to run
Knowing something's out there
The world is hard
Always wanting more
Time now to rise
To this moment
Harness the force of
Your truest wish
You'll light up
Hold that thought in your mind
And know there is hope still
Know there is hope still
Know there is hope
The road is long
Wanting just to run
Knowing something's out there
The world is hard
Always wanting more
Don’t be robbed of your chance
Know there is hope
Know there is hope
Know there is hope
Know there is hope
Believe that something is out there
(Know there is hope)
Believe that something is out there
(Know there is hope)
Believe that something is out there
(Know there is hope)
Believe that something is out there
(Know there is hope)

Virtue
Life is hard, girl
You won’t ascend
Till you’ve done this
Your office
This one night
Decide and
Done
Who would stop my
Shrewd, absolved right
To this justice
For your climb
So turn around
And let your hair down
This honor of your rise
Is mine
Don’t speak of this
It’s your disgrace
Against my power
Move forward
And know that
You’re all in now
Who would stop my
Shrewd, absolved right
To this justice
For your climb
So turn around
And let your hair down
This honor of your rise
Is mine
I can’t slow down
I’ve worked too hard to lose so much
Your threats hanging over my head
One hard-lived night
And this all will be behind me
I’ll just think of it as
One final rung
Before I’ve earned my wings
Claw my way
Through the filth and slime
Turn my face
From this shadow
(LEAD GUITAR)
(Who would stop my…)
No turning back
(Shrewd, absolved right,..)
Close your eyes and be still
(Who would stop my…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)
Think of all the good you’ll do
(Who would stop my…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)
(Hang on, hang on, you’ve got this…)
There’s no other way through
(Shrewd, absolved right…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)
(Hang on, hang on, you’ve got this…)
Trust that you will survive this
(Who would stop my…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)
(Hang on, hang on, you’ve got this…)
You’ll find it will be worth it
(Shrewd, absolved right…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)
(Hang on, hang on, you’ve got this…)
This job means more than just sex

Pendulum
The scales have fallen
From our eyes again
We'd gotten so close
But that was then
Lured into the web
Of our rhetoric
Collision sparked and
The fuse was lit
No denying that
It mattered at the time
Caught up in the wish
To make it right
All eyes are focused
On this spectacle
Mirrored delusion
So volatile
Moths drawn to the flame
Burning with contempt
Self-immolation
By argument
No denying this
Cold civil war we fight
Always so convinced
We’ll make it right
To revel in the blood
Nothing quite compares
Forever in the flux
Of "ours" and "theirs"
What’s left for Us?

The Departure
Your road’s led you
Through this life alone
The struggles you’ve known
To find your place
Over and over
Damned to fail
Wasting away on the lies
They sold your soul
A fallen existence
Adrift in irrelevance
The wrongs you've tried to fix
You don’t belong
Their empty promises
Have played you to their own ends
Misused and thrown aside
Denied
But now that you’ve found
Your purpose here
We've helped you to break
Your ties to them
You’ve seen what’s behind
This vale of woes
And know that your world
Isn’t of this wanton land
So don’t be afraid to face this
It’s time for the pain to finally end
Surrender your spirit to The Gift
It’s only in death that you’ll find
The perfect love
The silent calm, so dear
Allays your final fears
The solace you’ve longed to find
For far too long
Your thoughts return to when
You’d play with your childhood friends
Alive in the summer sun
~You shut them out
Your soul lies
Beyond this
Your soul lies
Beyond this
Don't waver now
Such doubts are just a test
Your sacrifice
Will make sense
Of all this
(DROP-BREAK)
In fire reborn
All whys shall be known
No longer in sin
All wonder resolved
Your light in this darkness
Your life for this love

Serpents
Did you think your heart
Could resist the allures of
Serpent tongues whispering
Assurances that your cause was just?
Were you drawn
To their siren song?
Charms so beguiling
Search your mind
For distortions you’ve fed
A thousand sources
For each side
So pay no mind to theirs
Come and take your part
In this narrative
All you would believe
Is your evidence
The pain of your disquiet
Will last no more
How can one resist
Something so divine
Disbelief in what's not in doubt
Promises of a world
Where your will to fight
Gives you faith that you’ve won
No godless science
Can deny these opinions
You wield
Come now
Why make hard
What’s just how it is?
There’s no hiding from
Your place with the blessed
Don’t let them sway your thoughts
With their claims of what’s real
Logic and eloquence
Playing on your emotions
(LEAD BREAK)
You laugh
But some would not think twice
Decide
What power you will give them
Come and wake from your trance
Come and open your eyes
Come find your way homeward
Come find the way forward

Mirage
How could we have been
So blind
Fighting over these
Same-as-always
Drawn lines
Othering
We’ve convinced ourselves
To separate
Always finding
A reason why we can’t relate
Haunted by the thought
Of a world that might’ve been
And the kind of hope
We could live to feel again
If we figure out
What the writing on the wall
Says
It’s our one chance
It’s not hopeless
This so-called mirage
There’s still time
