While She Sleeps
Album • 2021
If we're not suffering what happened yesterday We're worried about what's going to happen tomorrow How many more times are we gonna get tricked By society and more importantly our own minds? Why are we suffering ourselves? We've been fooled To believing that there's something more to be had out there, away from ourselves We've been drinking poison, thinking it's gonna quench our thirst Stop believing all the lies that you have to buy this, you have do this, you have to become this You are the authority of your own existence, no one else Do you know that I'm gonna die one day? Do you know that we're all gonna die one day? We need to look at this now Our mortality is the key to our freedom You are enough, we are complete Stand tall and know your fucking worth, together, right now This is the part where we're done, we'll start over All your negative thoughts, all you've lost, we'll let go If you feel like giving up, then there's something I need you to know That I'm here for you Can we all just take a moment And see what we've become? We're all so lost and we know it We're tired of waking up and feeling numb But we all just sit and wonder How do we define our love? The more that I discover That there's no me without us Spill divine alibis as we drink them in Tired of waking up and feeling numb That sinking feeling Our raptures begging the question "Does it feel right?" Compassion's a weapon, now we're helpless on the other side The sonder whispers something I need you to know That I'm here for you Can we all just take a moment To see what we've become? We're all so lost and we know it We're tired of waking up and feeling numb But we all just sit and wonder How do we define our love? The more that I discover That there's no me without us What's your plan of attack? The plan B that we never had Say what you mean if you mean what you say In the year of the rat, the blame hides in the rhetoric All our errors now are perilous This world is too much It's time to give up the ghost in us No strangers to grief Enlighten me It's time to let it all out There's no me without There's something ingrained Something insatiable I can't betray Something so deep that the tide doesn't change It's okay to not be okay I'm told that the world works in mysterious ways And the more we search we get further away It's okay to not be okay There's something ingrained Something insatiable I can't betray Something so deep that the tide doesn't change It's okay to not be okay I'm told that the world works in mysterious ways And the more we search we get further away It's okay to not be okay

Brain damage, deterioration, this hurt won't speak for me Divided in disbelief, the hairline fractures split beneath We all deserve to suffocate Can anybody hear me? I'd rather be underrated, the minor not the major I don't need liberation, a higher state of being I'd rather be hated, cursed instead of sacred We're gonna set the record straight, no hidden fucking meaning So far so bad and it's only getting worse There ain't no distance between Hell and Earth We all deserve to suffocate But the world still turns I'd rather be underrated, the minor not the major I don't need liberation, a higher state of being I'd rather be hated, cursed instead of sacred We're gonna set the record straight, no hidden fucking meaning When the sun burns out, will it all be worth it? Will the stars fall down into you? Substitute this feeling with something I don't need I'd rather suffer than believe and not feel If only we could choose the reasons we refuse to sleep Find the proof that you are all you need I'm tryna get through to you But the route won't take me, just loops back to feed the wounds That define our actions, underhand them, fake the news And betray our minds of understanding, when will we refuse? I'm tryna get out (I'm tryna get out) When the sun burns out, will it all be worth it? Will the stars fall down into you? No one knows

This world is broken I know that we're only elements Imbalancing, go put the mirror down We give everything just to seem innocent Negative energy consumes Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe Hysteria The consequence of fear Hysteria There's no way out of here I'm so over this, I wanna snuff the wick, I'm fucking done with it Ask no question, hear no lies Life is just a gateway drug But what's left in it for us? It goes like I don't want it just 'cause you have it I don't want it, fuck, you're systematic I don't want it just 'cause you have it, no doubt about it I don't want your bullshit, fuck, you're systematic I'm shook Never should've given a fuck, we're just giving it up like it's dead to us I'm shook Bend the lie, it will all be over soon enough Life is just a gateway drug It's unconditional lust It goes like I don't want it just 'cause you have it I don't want it, fuck, you're systematic I don't want it just 'cause you have it, no doubt about it I don't want your bullshit, fuck, you're systematic I know that we're only elements Imbalancing, go put the mirror down We give everything just to seem innocent Negative energy consumes I'm so over this Never give up, never give in Never gonna let the negative energy win Never give up, never give in Never let the negative consume I'm so over this I'm so over this I'm so over this

I'm nervous I think it's time to believe But I'm nervous That the answer's right in front of me All this pain we undertake Learned how to love our own mistakes 'Cause we all share the fear to bear this atmosphere So you are never alone I know the stars will collide and make no sound I told the water to rise and I can't swim I'd go to sleep in the fire to hold you now So you are never alone But I choose to not obey Shortcuts to lovе our own escapes Can I find a place whеre all these thoughts dissolve? But I'm nervous But I'm nervous We all look up to the stars to find something An irreplaceable light to hold trust in I know that we'll be alright, I need you now So we are never alone I'm nervous I think it's time to believe But I'm nervous That the answer's right in front of me We are so blind Oh We are so blind We are so blind (We never explain) I get this feeling that we're never enough (When the fear's rushing in) That the truth is like the water as it swallows us (Then we face all our pain) We're building castles in the dirt and the dust (And start over again) If the worst is yet to come, then I don't know if we'll make it out We are so blind We are so blind, we are so blind, we are so blind We are so blind We are so blind, we are so blind, we are so blind I'm nervous; it's not enough to live in the dirt I think it's time to be; and not enough to feign your concern Nervous; so say something, do something That the path is there for us to lead; so say something, do something

There's no defeat for the brave Oh There's no release, no escape Two sides, but they both shine the same If we're all at peace with living on the edge I need a sigh of relief, instead I bottle it up I know that Breathing life into the venomous is getting the better of us (Oh, fuck it) Stick the feeling to the surface Tell me everything you think we didn't do to deserve this There's no perfect escape No permanent faith that cures our need to be free Don't give up when you're close to the edge There's no defeat for the brave Our solace awaits the day that we feel complete Don't give up, we're so close Are we ever gonna break free? Break free I walk the east to the west The same road that leads goes back to where it begins Ignore our greed for the sake of empathy Pause our need for significance I know that It bites and won't let go, it's the inevitable Lift the shawl and see things for what they really are Habituation, I'm the one that ends this Still looking over my shoulder Don't give up when you're close to the edge Don't give in to the voice in your head "Don't be afraid of the end," they said There's no defeat for the brave (Don't give up, don't give up) I'll never stop looking over my shoulder A nihilist in harm's way is better safe than sorry (Don't give up, don't give up) Torment teaches all we've left behind (Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh) There's no perfect escape No permanent faith that cures our need to be free Don't give up when you're close to the edge There's no defeat for the brave Our solace awaits the day that we feel complete Don't give up, we're so close Are we ever gonna break free? Break free There's no defeat for the brave

These prying eyes don't know me too well It's gonna take some time That part of me's been shut down We give it all for nothing but empty victory We show no mercy, no apologies I lust for all that takes from me It don't sleep, there's no hope in a rosary But I still don't know what I am looking for Or what's worth fighting for in the end I'm getting high to feed my soul Through the heart and to the bone In this great unknown What do I wanna say? Every feeble attempt at connection is just slipping away Is this reality or just another game? Give me your hand, this is the end Give me your hand, this is the end I wanna know if these things I see are in front of me An apparition that's fleeting, feeding every thought I don't wanna believe in I lust for all that takes from me It don't sleep, there's no hope in a rosary That ain't me But I still don't know what I am looking for Or what's worth fighting for in the end I'm getting high to feed my soul Through the heart and to the bone In this great unknown It's the call of the void It's the call of the void What the hell are you waiting for? It's the call of the void It's the call of the void It's the call of the void Something we all hold dear Pulling back nature's mask and walking into the fear It's the call of the void Distorting life just to feel Can't keep holding my breath Waiting to feel something real It's the call of the void (Waiting to feel something real) It's the call of the void It's the call of the void Distorting life just to feel Can't keep holding my breath Waiting to feel something real

I really don't know how to put into words, um Being able to this and being able to make music and This is the end of album number five and 15 years have passed since we decided this what we wanted to do No matter how... I can't set on this kind of... this kind of future since we were kids I don't know how to explain That getting here and still being able to do it, is uh, is incredible It's an ability I feel really honoured to do all the time, I love makin' music And I love bein' in a band and bein' ablе to do this and That's only possible because wе have people Who enjoy what we do and I hope that As long as we continue makin' music And enjoy puttin' our thoughts and feelings and our Emotions into music, we hope to provide somethin' Or just do somethin', or you feel somethin' That you let go of somethin'. Yknow music, like, it can do Every kind of emotion, to remind you of somethin' from 20 years ago, it can make you feel excited and like givin' the most incredible moment Um, yeah, well thanks to, thanks doesn't cut it But we're here because you guys have been enabled that to be Yeah thank you, and keep listenin' This is a testament to who we are and how we feel, right now To capture our thought and feeling, an outlet for our emotions A release of the negative, and a harvesting of the positive We hope this wraps around you And does for you what it does for us Open your ears and your mind By in solace, you're being at one with yourself And remember you are all you need Ehm, I didn't really didn't prepare anything to say right now I just... hit the record button and hopefully this just comes out In the most truthful and organic way possible We are livin' our childhood dreams I don't think many people can say that The only reason, why we are on this journey Is because of you guys and You know it is, it is more, it's more than just travelling the world And playing on stage and doing things for our own pleasure We hope to instill a sense of belief that you can do these things You can do anything you want if you just put your mind to it But, we have such a short, precious amount of time on this Earth And it is way too short to not be doing what you love doing I guess the main message I wanna send out and leave behind is gratitude I hope you guys know just actually How much you mean to us all like This isn't just our band, it's all of yours as well I know you know that, but it just needs to be said I hope our music will live on after we're gone It's bigger than this band, it always has been Takin' up all our lifetime to create this band And I just hope it finds someone who needs it and lives on through it I hope you just how fuckin' crazy it is to be like Livin' in the dream, we all grew up believing would come true And all that matters to me because of you I hope everyone in my life knows how much they mean to me It's easy to go on through life without sayin' shit every day and Not let the people know who are close to you just know How grateful you are that they're by your side I hope you know you are we Just thank you so much, um, for listenin' to this album And just thank you for givin' your attention to this band You give us life, you give me life, you give me meaning I feel like as soon as I speak, I make things simpler Or just more simple than I intended Like I have somethin' I wanna articulate and express But just as soon as I try to say it And get it out, it just turns to... dust I mean so much more than I can say, its a really strange feeling So... our thank you is to you For understanding us I think that is really special You put me in a room and you ask me What any of this shit means I don't know what it means But all know what it means We all know damn fuckin' well But we don't know how to explain it And it's that part that means the most I don't think anyone's really got the answers managed just... Everyone's on their own little journey Tryin' to figure shit out and That's one thing I can put my finger on The part of the iceberg we don't see This unexplainable ocean of... I don't know, it's crazy and it's just crazy So, um, it's not even finished I'm tryin' to finish the album right now and I'm recordin' Tryin' to finish it right now, it's not finished It'll probably never get finished But, anyway, it's everything it's...
