[VERSE]
Lost inside the light
Gone with no direction
[PRE-CHORUS]
Delirium divides
Cratered in our skin
Poison fills our veins
Eclipsing the condemned
[VERSE]
Living in this haze
Burning at both ends
Leaking through pinholes
Forced through with needles
Sent through hell again
[PRE-CHORUS]
What will satiate
This hunger never ends
What is there to do
If absence consumes you, yeah
[BRIDGE]
Time and space unfold
(Time and space unfold)
Never let me go, never let me go
Find what makes us whole
(Find what makes us whole)
Never let me go, never let me go
Facing the unknown
(Facing the unknown)
Never let me go, never let me go
Don't suffer this alone
(Don't suffer this alone)
Never let me go, never let me go
Am I worthy of this love?!
[OUTRO]
Sympathetic detonations
Swallowed in your symphony
Sympathetic detonations
Swallowed in your symphony
Take my hand before the plunge
Future's jaws open wide

[VERSE]
Floating above us
In the stories, we're told
There's an architect in the stars
Weightless and distant
With grace and precision
Directing us from afar
[PRE-CHORUS]
But we have a price
That we have to pay
Choking on questions
That we'll never say
Picking up pieces
And fragments of plans
Best laid in waves that
Crash through the sand
[CHORUS]
So I'm told
It's not my place to ever know
And I'm afraid that we've been sold
This gravity will swallow us whole
[VERSE]
Sending transmission
Will you ever listen
I wonder how long can you stall
The wars have grown countless
The floods will soon drown us
Our king just sleeps through it all
[PRE-CHORUS]
I'm building a ship
And leaving this place
Arrangements deranged
The souls you made
Far up above
But you can be sure
I'm bringing you back
Back down to earth
[CHORUS]
So I'm told
It's not my place to ever know
And I'm afraid that we've been sold
This gravity will swallow us whole
So I'm told
It's not my place to ever know
And I'm afraid that we've been sold
This gravity will swallow us whole
[BRIDGE]
Silly me, I know that things
Always happen for a reason
But as I trace these lines
Across the space that we can't breathe in
Shattered moons and solar winds
Spinning scores of scattered planets
I ride this well of ink
Spilled across this endless canvas
I land and tumble in
Through these halls of ancient marble
Clutched firmly in my hands
Tidal trinkets only borrowed
I sink down and in between
The Event and the Horizon
And in time I find we all end
Right back just where we started
[OUTRO]
We're lost in the unknown
Endless novas guiding us home
Oh, you'll never be alone
Trails of novas guiding us home
Oh, we're lost in the unknown
Endless novas guiding us home
Oh, you'll never be alone
Tranquil novas guiding us home

Ghosts

[VERSE]
How many days
How many nights have passed
Every curtain drawn
Every clock is smashed
We'll shut them out for sure
And barricade the doors
Time is dead to us
As we are to the world
[CHORUS]
Slow decay
Colors fade, colors fade to grey
All we made
Nothing gold, nothing gold can stay
[VERSE]
How many seeds
How many roots have grown
Such an unwelcome guest
Buried deep below
A cabin fever dream
Of dirt and dust collect
Splintered tide of mold
Growing in regret
[CHORUS]
Sweet decay
Colors fade, colors fade to grey
All we made
Nothing gold, nothing gold can stay
[BRIDGE]
Rituals and tourniquets
Ghosts of lives that never lived
Haunted house with empty halls
Domestically umbilical
Doubtful vines reach for more
Through the kitchen open doors
Burgeoning suspicious blooms
Invading each and every room
[OUTRO]
So step into the light
Fear and love collide
Limbs that touch the sky
This is us, this is us, this is us, this is us alive!

[VERSE]
I peel away
But you read my skin like braille
I feel the tremors through the
Fractals you exhale
I stop my heart
But you never miss a beat
Dragged us diving through the
Currents of the sheets
[CHORUS]
And I got seas of trauma sleepin'
And they're breathin' through the cracks
And I lie lie lie lie lie
And I lie lie lie lie lie
So when you say that you're in love
My hands are full of anchored burdens
And I lie lie lie lie lie
From the bottom watched you rise
Until you're gone
(And I lie lie lie lie lie)
[VERSE]
I slip beneath
Familiar chill at last
A million pounds of midnight
Holding me intact
Come up for air
And heard you beg and plead
If losing chains means letting go
I'd rather sink
[CHORUS]
And I got seas of trauma sleepin'
And they're breathin' through the cracks
And I lie lie lie lie lie
And I lie lie lie lie lie
So when you say that you're in love
My hands are full of anchored burdens
And I lie lie lie lie lie
From the bottom watched you rise
Until you're gone
Until you're gone
Until you're gone
Oh not until you're gone
[CHORUS]
And I got seas of trauma sleepin'
And they're breaking through the cracks
And I lie lie lie lie lie
And I lie lie lie lie lie
So when you say that you're in love
My hands are full of anchored burdens
And I lie lie lie lie lie
From the bottom watched you rise
Until you're gone

[VERSE]
Riding on rivers of
Neon and plastic
Standing for nothing
And sitting in traffic
Patchwork informants
And brand name endorsements
Monthly subscriptions
To fiction non-fiction
[PRE-CHORUS]
Yes we want this give us more
Yes we want this give us more
Yes we want this give us more
Yes we want this give us more
[CHORUS]
Bring me closer
(Bring me closer)
Just tell me who I am
We've surrendered
(We've surrendered)
The ground on which we stand
Over deserts
(Over deserts)
Under maps of distant hearts
Playing games with mirrors
Until we fall a-
[VERSE]
What's in my news now?
My TV, my feed?
The chill of your skin
Or the warmth of my screen?
[PRE-CHORUS]
Just tell me what I wanna hear
Just tell me what I wanna hear
Just tell me what I wanna hear
Just tell me what (what!)
I wanna hear
[CHORUS]
Bring me closer
(Bring me closer)
Just tell me who I am
We've surrendered
(We've surrendered)
The ground on which we stand
Over deserts
(Over deserts)
Under maps of distant hearts
Playing games with mirrors
Until we fall apart
[POST-CHORUS]
(PART!)
Until we fall apart
(PART!)
Until we fall apart
(PART!)
Until we fall apart
Until we fall apart
[BRIDGE]
But when all is said and done
The stories that we've spun
Will tell us what was real
Will tell us what to feel
We've sold our final thoughts
For baubles that we bought
More shiny souvenirs
Replace them all next year
Oooh, oooh
Replace us all
Erase us all
[CHORUS]
Bring me closer
(Bring me closer)
Just tell me who I am
We've surrendered
(We've surrendered)
The ground on which we stand
Over deserts
(Over deserts)
Under maps of distant hearts
Playing games with mirrors
Until we fall apart
[POST-CHORUS]
(PART!)
Till we fall apart
(PART!)
Till we fall apart
(PART!)
Till we fall apart
Till we fall apart

Sign of iron brings you here
[PRE-CHORUS]
Leave them all, far behind
Take your place, in the sky
Keep it all, deep inside
Pressure builds, ignite
[CHORUS]
There's so much that you can become
A journey that only seats one
Shielded and never exposed
A spear through the unknown
Spear through the unknown
Spear through the unknown
[VERSE]
Death of distance in your dreams

Wipe those tears don't let them see

Screaming void, roaring blaze
Inch of hull, keeps you safe
Crucible, sacrifice
Ares is taking flight

There's so much that you can become
A journey that only seats one
Shielded and never exposed
A spear through the unknown
Spear through the unknown
Spear through the un-

Burning brighter
Falling faster
Watch me tumble down
Burning brighter

Watch me tumble down

Ribbons of sky come undone

Never quite felt like enough

So promise you'll wish on this star
Disintegrating from afar

Spear through the unknown

Shoot your shot, kid
Hold on tightly in the dark
Summon courage from afar
Steady shot, kid
Disbelief from lion woes
Solila-quick to answer no
And I know, I know, I know
[VERSE]
(Worlds) A leaking sum of pain
(Pain) Keep bragging bout their gain
(Gain) Agreeing with the pack
(Pack) A life of disregarding what they're taught
(Taught) It mystifies the sight
(Sight) The demons shedding light

The past is...
The past is...
The past is...

Hold on tightly in the dark
Summon courage from afar
Steady shot, kid
Overthinking what I chose
Quick to step on wayward toes
And I know, I know, I know
[VERSE]
(Hurt) Bruises yet unseen
(Seen) Impulsive inner fiend
(Fiend) The fear of coming clean
(Clean) A mind that cannot hear your worried plea
(Plea) A throne inside my head
(Head) Of questioning instead
(Stead) The function I have bred
(Bred) Unstable life, routine rigidity
[PRE-CHORUS]
The past is...
The past is...
The past is...
The past is...
[CHORUS]
Shoot your shot, kid
Hold on tightly in the dark
Summon courage from afar
Steady shot, kid
Disbelief from endless woes
So fucking quick to answer no

[INTRO]
Under doors and through the streets of night
A force collecting seven moons in sight
Run
[VERSE]
Haunting chambers
Silently unsheathed
Fallen, calling
A pool of blood beneath
[CHORUS]
Run she said
(Pick them off, one by one)
Borrowed time
(Wax and wane, run and hide)
Step by step
(Pick them off, one by one)
Chase the night
Who's the next in line?
[VERSE]
Heavy shadows
Rush to close me in
Breathing, feeding
Now the hunt begins
[CHORUS]
Run she said
(Pick them off, one by one)
Borrowed time
(Wax and wane, run and hide)
Step by step
(Pick them off, one by one)
Chase the night
Who's the next in line?

[VERSE]
Waking to the dawn
Sands as black as nights of old
Strands of golden hair
Flicker on the ground below
Flowing through her veins
Burning wrath of ancient ways
Giving, loving, taking life
As her ashes rise to outer space
[PRE-CHORUS]
Looking up
Webs of clusters overhead
Looking up
Speaking to the stars she said
[CHORUS]
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure
[VERSE]
Chanting voices near
Waking dormant fauna
He sails on kiawe seas
With glowing, flowing mana
He's drawn towards the summit
With light approaching supernova
Scaling, mounting fiery heights
Of glowing, flowing lava
[PRE-CHORUS]
Looking down
Beauty strikes him through the chest
Looking down
Tension on the highest West
[CHORUS]
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure
[BRIDGE]
Forever matched in lover's grasp
We drift away in endless mass
Orbiting stars growing gamma bright
Spin before us with infinite might
Matched in ancient lover's grasp
We drift away in an endless mass
Entropy swells the ground below
And bursts throughout a cosmic legato
Gaze affixed, our lives transfixed
Tidally locked in eternal bliss
[CHORUS]
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea
Heaven without measure
Pele Honua
Heavenly attractor
Pele Honua
Heaven without measure
Laniakea
Heavenly attractor
Laniakea

Shake and tremble
Burdens from the past

Seas of
Trauma sleeping
Breathing through the cracks
(I won't speak their names, no)
(I can hold them back)

The stories that we've spun
Never quite felt like enough
Quick to answer no
Guiding us, guiding us home
Seven moons in sight
Fear and love collide
Ancient lover's grasp
Holding me intact

Sympathetic detonations
Swallowed in your symphony
Sympathetic detonations
Swallowed in your symphony
Take my hand before the plunge
Future's jaws open wide
