Nautilus 04:31
Can we know for sure all that we know? Explore the hidden worlds inside of us Oh, coexisting, haven't had the thought To go below The flowing watercourse Underneath your skin Never frozen still A deafening forest land Well behind your ribs Breathes infinitely Your volcanic mind (ever warm) Needs to surface now Can we channel hatred when we know? What's hidden by the waves of violent storms Oh, I can only reach you through your core I go below

Vårdkasar 03:55
I can see your flames Your signal Whom do I persuade? Can't you hear the sound? The end is loud Why did we provoke the truth? And try to shout it down 'though we knew the end is loud Loud We used to do what you do now to warn about what's coming, but we don't react now that you burn your wood We forgot your signal, fire, lighthouse, sirens Don't look, we are sentenced to indifference, oh We know, 'cause we have heard you cry For so long How it's amplified Now cover your ears, the end is loud Loud

Wild Horse 05:01
I have the courage to Break the walls, expand the boundaries Every step pushes the nails Further in, and confirms the beauty Captive minds set free Inner thoughts of wilderness Through descending hills Paint the sky for me Stare into the heights I will fade in from black Utter words like "I will never come back I threw my name away My sanded shoes should tell you Oh, I'm not yours But you can follow me The fence is not high But I will not look back for you I don't grow in certainty" Stare into the heights I will fade in from black to blue Recognize my face Know where I'm from, your lands, Crow flight to be free I will never come back I threw my name away My sanded shoes should tell you Oh, I'm not yours But you can follow me The fence is not high

Unseen 04:01
Their silence Their eyes Their thoughts They're waiting on something I don't understand the doubt (I can leave) If you just said where to go Their faces Their mouths Their words They're telling me I can't They don't understand the choice (I'm the weak) the weak, My weakness is your remedy The dark matter, moves unseen The strong are weak without the weak

Paper Boats 04:55
Who made these objects I enter the borderlands Thoughts get distorted Tall lamp posts Aerial water paper boats As I go Further into the wild Sound a million foghorns, Sail on this ocean pool Mind gets dilated Where're they from? Tell me who made them, the Paper boats And what if I know Somewhere inside And what if I'm gone without help from you I touch my face to be sure And wait and wait and wait and wait I fall Generate the void Lights stand tall Sprung from vacant soil And these arks Appear more frequently I embark And my skin is folded tenfold, I wave farewell And what if I'm gone without help from you I touch my face to be sure And wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait

Starling 03:33
We need to show who we are, How we're synchronized To show we're justified On and on and on It goes on and on we convey ourselves It's the only thing we know (Our truth) It's burning Commit to the urge You will live on to see yourself as justified On and on and on It goes on and on we convey ourselves It's the only thing we know Our truth Forming shapes of our kind Hoping we all get close It's our way, oh It's us, It's how we exist, not why Sometimes we all unite you do your part and you've been justified and you've been justified On and on and on It goes on and on we convey ourselves It's the only thing we know Our truth

Julia 06:58
I do know all answers Hyperbole; it’s not one No messiah complex Scientifically supported Everything is comprehensible (yet unpredictable) I can know but not foresee Creation; Just a recursive birth You can’t manipulate You can never plant a change Who shaped the world? Separated day and night No deity, but the closest we get to God I’m so content with you All the answers lie within you Everything Everything Everything, just a recursive birth You can’t control the fate You can never plant a change Everything is understandable (yet unpredictable) I can know but not foresee Creation; Just a recursive birth You can’t manipulate You can never plant a change

Samples 04:53
We died, our hearts stopped and left ground to keep beating in the cloud This sample of you is all I have now Air, light, time and space is gone Unreal We just fool ourselves and make it so unclear Used to feel it all Infinity is lost Infinity is lost We lived here and now experienced life through our senses Unreal We just fool ourselves and make it so unclear Used to feel it all Infinity is lost Infinity is lost

First Sun 04:24
Climbed the horizon all by myself my heart has been atrophied I’ve lowered my chin, now I’m watching you and us with low esteem My eyes have been clouded and watery a frozen tear for you conserve our world from the dark til light And wait, await my ascension Save the aurora Save the aurora And wait, await my ascension Our equinox Save the aurora Save the aurora Gone While you stay for the sake of days Do pretend glad, we’ll find ourselves afterwards I don’t care if you fade away You’re on your own, cry my name in vain And wait, await my ascension Save the aurora Save the aurora And wait, await my ascension Our equinox Save the aurora Save the aurora

Naustá 07:35
I'm too distant and too close to chaos A moving logic gate Make me go to the far out To even out Balance out Where does it come from the wish? Is it the resemblance to myself - I think we think alike Or is it how dissimilar you are - The arctic sounds unparalleled Newborn ground You're the world's last land where the water flows into void
