The Acacia Strain
Album • 2019
I never thought I would see you again I never thought I would see you again Where have you been? How can you sleep at night? How can we live with ourselves? Turn a blind eye Cover your face Cover your face They are the old and the new They are nothing at all We were wrong Cover your face Cover your face Cover your face and smile Dreaming in red Living in blue Dying in black and white Cover your face Cover your face We've been watching you We've been watching you We've been watching you We've been watching you ("Let it all pass through. The heart doesn't want the truth.")

We all fall into the gaping maw Into the shattering abyss We all fall Into the endless void No such thing as dying Collapsed lung Collapsed reality Relapsing through eternity We all fall Time has no shape, it's an entity (It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves It comes in waves) Frozen and floating Vanishing without a trace Frozen and floating Pushing farther away Frozen and floating No signs of life Frozen and floating Left somewhere God would never find

Collapsing backwards We should have never answered No reconnect God of death The water made wood The soil turns to snakes And then the sky collapsed And then my mind collapsed This is not a spiritual war Our only sin was giving them names Knowledge passed I was never asked Stampede upon the mind The pearls become the swine This is not a spiritual war Our only sin was giving them names The tower has fallen The staircase leads to nowhere This is an attack on the mind I want you to feel what I feel I want you to see what I've seen I want you to feel what I feel I want you to see what I've seen "Without body They are illusions only Shadows, without substance They will not pass through your body, for they do not exist" "They do not exist" "Unreal, appearances only They are shadows, illusions Nothing but ghosts of reality They are lies, falsehoods, specters, without body They are to be ignored"

They always come crawling back Whatever walks there walks alone How they thought that there were other dimensions You know, other, other worlds All around us, and how they wanted to try and make, um A window You know, so they could look through and see what's on the other side Well, maybe your window turned out to be a door, didn't it? Not mine, those scientists'! Oh, the scientists! Yes, the scientists! They must have ripped a hole open by accident, this other world came spilling through to ours That's what Donaldson was saying to me right before he killed himself, I didn't understand the half of it It ain't my fault! Only the dead know Only the dead know Tears in the fabric Lurking in the shadows In the doorways of unreality He says his name is Death The truth is, he is something worse Don't you know by now? Don't you know the truth? We are being punished For what? For going against the will of God! For going against his forbidden rules of old! Walking on the moon! Yes! Yes! Or, or splitting his atoms! Amen! Or, or, or stem cells and abortions! And destroying the secrets of life That only God above has any right to! Amen! Amen! Only the dead know Only the dead know Experience the true reality Beyond the curtain Beyond all sight and sound Consciousness collapsing all around us This is the veil being lifted They waited It comes It comes in It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in It comes It comes in waves Wishing away the sand Washing away all you love The days of darkness The absence of light Washing away all you love Breath of God Gaze of the old It comes in waves

Whatever walks there walks alone Whatever walks there walks alone She takes as much as she gives She can see us We are immortal Whatever walks there walks alone These gods do not believe in us Whatever walks there walks alone No end in sight No sight in the end Whatever walks there walks alone Self-sacrifice for the living and the dead Whatever walks there walks alone We are immortal

Spirit tomb Sacrificing fear We will throw orchids, not roses Burning on the funeral pyre of the world Sweet, glowing rot dancing in our nostrils Scent is memory, remind us to stop breathing Gravity is life pulling us to the grave Heaven is a void of light You are tied down by your emotions Spiral through the creeping void The tomb is open Anyone that comes near Will retreat in fear of what is inside Devoured by failure We have determined that you are not worthy Gravity is life pulling us to the grave Heaven is a void of light You are tied down by your emotions Spiral through the creeping void

The cradle hangs heavy above the circling wolves And when it falls they will kill us all The ghosts that haunt this earth are different than you think No ethereal plane, just incomprehensible realities (We have disappeared but we are inevitable And the cell begins to divide) The decision was your own You chose wrong every time You will feel no pain Head back into a dreamless sleep Catatonic unreality Anomalies of the mind There is no wrong, there is no right They have returned The sun sets on us all Daylight Twilight Full dark I am in the doorway Tomorrow brings new plague I can see the end of it all Tomorrow brings a new plague Creatures from beyond reality Offering ecstasy Meet the new normal Escape the bonds of consciousness Slip through Slide in Slip through Slide in Slip through Slide in Slip through Slide in I can't believe what I've seen No one should What have I done? Abandoned all I held in my heart Violent beings without form Everyone will feel the same pain Sorry will never be enough Who would've crossed oceans now have seen outstanding waters, wondering what we could've done differently Galaxies burnt out and frozen forever Extermination Life never known Interdimensional agony You will have never known it was even there All places, all things have souls All souls can be devoured It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in waves It comes It comes in waves It comes
