Staring at the rain
Trying to figure out
What have we done here?
To one and other
No answers around
Just a handful of clues
From our blinded minds
To this lack of roots
Endless daydream loops
With broken timelines
And stormy weather
I live inside my head
How old is my soul?
How did we get there?
We used to understand
Now we just feed the fake
Locked up here below
Trying to overpass
Our own boundaries
What if we left these here?
Looking at the screen
Ignition sequence start
One last wavering try
One last hopeless goodbye
The world hangs on a fragile thread
The meaning of things evaporates
The hourglass turn into quicksand
The web of our desires is sticky
Oil well digging the desert
Flood and fire are spreading
Heads buried in the hot sand
Cold lies mountain is growing
Thunderstorms from the ancient times
Rumbling through the ages
Black holes and blurry lines
Whirling above seasonal cages

In the valley they go on and on
Wandering in beautiful places
Expecting to hide from the wicked hearts
Human condition is an illusion
Everyone is carrying something
But a wish can’t carry enough hope
I guess something was lost in the way
Showdowns echoed this strange belief
Everyone is seeking something
But a desire can’t seek purpose
I guess something was lost in the way
Spirits have left this sinking party
Everyone is hiding something
But a burning house can’t hide a family
I guess something was lost in the way
Words didn’t come in this odd struggle
We can dance… but we can’t hide
We forgot how to use our own language
Data rains and storms for everyone
Flesh and screens melting through
Time is rusting out faster and darker

These bodies, this matter
It's all about perception
Delusive picture
Frustration
Between lies and deadline
Do you know what you are?
There's a crack inside us
We reach the dark age
Between light and shadow
Did you not feel the blast?
There was a warning
We chose to ignore it
Entering turbulence zone
Questioning things again
Like a faithful compass
Look into the mirror and beyond
These motions, this bitterness
It teaches us about loss
Sudden leak of light
Substantial
Between heart and mind
Do you know where you are?
There’s a crack among us
We reach the dark age
Between screams and faces
Did you not feel the truth?
There was an exit before
We try to recover it
Lonesome dream threshold
It's time for departure
So I ask you, one last time
Bring yourself back online
« We’re just leftovers in the dust.
I don’t even know where we are in time.
I mean when we are…
These introspective tides blurred the line.
— So what are we going to do?
We have to go back east! »

My doppelgänger told me
To never buy your story
The cracks I see when I’m high
Unveil some kind of hole in the sky
Your god was a voyeur
Now that you've become what it was
It left you for another channel
All you got is electric noise
The narratives are insane
The swan sings too close to the cliff
Gravitational anomalies
The darkest point of no return
Pain and sorrow in my chest
Holy hole in my breath
Old mantra in my mind
Fighting back behind
What the fuck have we done to each other?
It’s PTSD o’clock
The collective unconscious is corrupt
Are you brave enough to carry the light?
I just blinked and she was gone
And I screamed as loud as I dreamed
Algorithms for main course
And chaos roses for dessert
Dear Hell, open your heart-shaped doors, 'cause we're coming home

Empty houses, nameless street
Broken hearts and sincere eyes
I guess I wasn’t happy either at the end
I was just trying to believe
I know I will be glad again
Meanwhile I found a nice place
Alone at night in the woods
This is my waiting room
…the sleeper must awaken…
I saw Kukulkan eating the earth
In a peaceful state of mind
Nearer the church farther from god
We’re just passengers around here
I wasn’t even born until yesterday
Blindfolded by the lack of understanding
I will take back what’s mine
But I have to leave something behind
This way, and only this way
I would be freed from that desire
What a fable about delusions
I confused pity and compassion
I am everything your eyelids want me to be
I never wanted to fake anything (but I did)
Nothing can’t save us from ourselves
Nothing can’t heal an old sick god
I was so lonely in the crowd
What’s the meaning of family
Hiding in endless darkness
What’s the meaning of reality
I just woke up
after a thousand years of sleep
Hallucinating another sky
Beyond all the intersections
Figuring out what I truly am
It has to mean something
Blinding light was never an option
All I know is this dark empathy
Guilt-free unknown heavens
Loudly knocking at the door
I’ve always been an island
An undiscovered ground
I will find a way through
This fragile border of matter
It’s about what’s next
How to find the stations
Which one of these strings
Will lead me through the eons
Another leap of faith
One last leap of faith

Depressing has become boring
Like a bullet train in slow motion
Like an unshakable faith
We’re meant to kiss the sky
I’ve always been a traveling mirror
Reflecting all that traced lines
Which I’ll never be a part of
Maybe I’m just another shard
The world has already ended
But we didn’t even notice
Daedalus is still looking for an exit
‘Cause we’re addicted to drama
« They can no longer bet.
The viewers are blind now.
Confusing love and desire,
System has shut down itself. »
At one point or another
We were all new to this realm
Reciting the verses of holy sorrow
Trying to remember the taste of things
Now I can’t remember the taste of your lips
Like content has no substance
Knowing your own nature
Is not enough to trick the stars
I was first an upset zebra
Then I had to eat myself
To become a weird lion
When you were all looking for gladiators
Alleviating in the silence
With more and more hushed voices
Finally taking the edge off
With less and less other choices
Nothing will ever be the same again
It’s our brand-new complaint
Let’s find a new world babe
The one that never ever made

The darkest hour is just before the dawn
The harp of nihilism has played its last chords
Primordial trauma finally meets its coda
Have we always been victims of ourselves?
I guess drama fits me well
I felt the terrors of the earth
But now I can see it clearly
The space between spaces
We could finally reach the inner part
Choose to seek the beauty in things
Find our one delightful constant
You know, the only one that’s relevant
Passing through the horizon
Witnessing the evidence
Reaching the next chapter
Thwarting the traps of the matter
Starting to erase this mistake
Even forgetting our names
To make it happen again
With hope that it’s not in vain
The telluric current will strike
And we will let go our pain
This telluric story will collapse
And we will meet again
Together as one vanishing point
Transcending what we used to call time
Love will lead us as a mantra
To rise above this violent end
I cried all the tears of my heart
To water the sacred flowers
Now they have turned pure gold
More beautiful than any others
Palingenesis through the maze
Seeking the center
Escaping from jail
Maya will unveil
