lyrics

It starts when you fall apart
When the fabric of sanity starts to unravel
And the stone that once was your heart
Breaks down into parts, becoming the gravel
Of the path that leads you astray
You stand in one place and in this way you travel
You cease to exist, despite what they say
No longer defined by the voice of the rabble

Now you are destroyed, a speck in the void
No longer a toy of the tide and the weather
Now the collar that made you obey
Has started to fray, your leash has been severed
You're a vessel filled with potential
That stretches from here to the shores of forever
You are a puzzle
You pick up the pieces
And you fit them together

Answers lie behind closed eyes

What's left to do
But dance?
What's left to say
But nothing at all?
What's left to fear
But fear itself?
Your kingdom of silence
Beyond the wall

A moment of peace, serenity reigns
You are the immaculate, fortunate one
Until there appears a sinister shade
That towers above you and blacks out the sun

Something about it feels so familiar
Like you know that you've seen it before
When you extend your hand in a truce
You get a fist, the language of war
Wearing your skin, smiling with your grin
It is the parts of you that you abhor
Eating your dreams, this thing is you
Come to settle the score

Answers hide inside old lies

What's left to do
But dance?
What's left to say
But nothing at all?
What's left to fear
But fear itself?
Your kingdom of silence
Beyond the wall

Answers lie behind closed eyes
Answers hide inside old lies
Emancipate from the bonds of superiority
You are an offering to the gods of asymmetry

Beyond the wall
Beyond the wall
Beyond the wall

What's left to do
But dance?
(The walls come down)
What's left to say
But nothing at all?
(The walls come down)
What's left to fear
But fear itself?
(The walls come down)
Beautiful nihilist
Internal violence
No longer defines us

Beyond the wall
Beyond the wall
Beyond the wall
