So this is how it feels to die young
Short and ragged breaths one by one
Cell by single cell I'm betrayed
Death is just a waiting game
When the choking grasp of fear has found me
Fills the heavy air around me
The panic grip of fear and pain
Don't know if I can breathe again
Now I'm what every worst case runs to
A hollow shell that fear flows into
An endless loop of dread in my mind
Echoes louder every time
When the unrelenting surge surrounds me
The flood of guilt and shame that drowns me
The wracking tide of fear and pain
Don't know if I can breathe again
Drowning lungs take shallow breaths
The creeping tide of fear's infection
I die a thousand little deaths
As fear replaces oxygen
This germ of doubt grown to obsession
The worst outcome of best intentions
The crushing weight of fear and pain
Don't know if I can breathe again
The burning rush of panic's spread
The paralyzing crush of dread
The anxious theme of fear's refrain
The thought that steals my breath away again

This Empty Earth
05:28

And one day hell was other people
The press of their attention
And their never-ending need
'Till every syllable was torture
Then solitude was refuge
And silence my release
Enough was too much
I made myself a wasteland
A paradise of desolation, distance and despair
There nothing could touch me
I turned into the empty
I walked away from everything and found salvation there
Nothing moves here in the wasteland
There's nothing left to see here
There's not much left to be
And every touch is temporary
Where solitude is silence
And silence misery
Hello? Hello?
Is anyone receiving?
I severed my connections when I left your world behind
Hello? Hello?
Each day my signal's weaker
A whisper in an empty land from the last man left alive
In this cage of silence
By words and by their absence
I am bound here
I belong here
A stillness in the tempest
The empty earth is calling me
I belong here
In this prison of silence bound
That I built with my own two hands
In a place beyond sight or sound
An invisible, voiceless land
The less I listen the less I hear
The less I look the less I see
The less I know, the less I fear
And I'm a shadow of whatever I used to be
In this cage of silence
By words and by their absence
I am bound here
I belong here
A stillness in the tempest
The empty earth is calling me
I belong here
I belong here
I belong here
I belong here

Cause And Consequence
05:45

Day by measured day
We made the certainty we seek
A world of ease and order
For the wealth of why we keep
And each upon the last
We laid the measure of our lives
Rising up into uncertain skies
See how we rise
Rise above our nature
Rise up from its consequence to light
Bound to the machine
We made our causes for effects
And form to follow function
For the certainty of next
And day by numbered day
We raised up walls of glass and steel
Dreamed within nothing unknown was real
Rise
Day by day
Real's what we've decided
Cause from consequence divided
And all tomorrows seem so near
No room left for questions now all answers seem so clear
Glass and shattered steel fall burning
Tumbling down in fire and ruin
The choking mass of dust and ash
Pours through the streets below
And high above it all she watches
Trembling like the steel she clutches
The end of all connected things
Here at the fall of everything
She knows
Fear and fire surround us
Now that consequence has found us
And now the skies that seemed so clear
Fill with threats and promises of suffering and fear
