lyrics

Verse One (0:18 to 1:31)
Running out of phase
Sacramental dream
In this crowded place
Faithless and obscene

This was all for you
This was all of me
My discordant urge
A tale of misery

Heavy lies the crown
Noise is heavier still
As the lights go down
Silence is my will

Chorus (1:59 to 2:22)
And I feel extension of my soul
Breathe the light above me, feel it take control
City flashes madly at the end of waking dream
I am the reflection, ghost in the machine

Verse Two (2:49 to 3:33)
The current and the flow
To scream or not to be
An absolution show
My cinematic revelry

This is all it was
Blind watcher in the sky
Whispered monologue
For machine and I

Verse Three (3:36 to 4:01)
And I hear it in the whispers
Warnings of what I will become
As I walk into the river
The current and me are one
