Great Filter 03:10
Great filter in the distance Will we make the other side Will we survive ourselves To the promise of post-scarcity life As prisoners of the dollar we plunder in chains In a world wide awake sleeping through our days No harvest of the sun Type zero in our ways Greed and indecision Led us astray Oh I've seen it burning in the fields of the resource wars In murder of potential, our progeny There's no time to buy anymore Great filter in the distance Will we make the other side Will we survive ourselves On some grand interstellar ride Oh to dream that far Oh a sea of stars Evolve and exceed who we are Great filter in the distance Will we make the other side Will we survive ourselves Beyond a fading glimpse in the night

I'm sorry you can't drink money It suited us just fine The causality of your age We didn't want to pay the piper for our wine I'm sorry you can't breathe consumption The legacy of narrow minds It's there for you to see Where New York used to be The ruins of millions instantly gratified Empty lives capitalizedAs I write this from the outside Marginalized But I hope you find forgiveness For all we let fall away I hope you find the courage to be the century that I dream of as I write these words today I hope you've learned to love I hope you've learned to love You know I should be there with you If only there was a way

When he returns from the dream He tries to remember what he's seen He knows that most won't understand The philosophies in his better land The best he can hope for is to foster the change To spare a few minds in this age of decay But he knows the burden that brings The isolation that fell upon him Oh he knows He can't take it to the grave Oh he knows These visions fade away He sits us down one by one Sharing the breadth of his head The subconscious mysteries and oh that city Now keep me awake instead Now keep me awake instead Oh he knows He can't take it to the grave Oh he knows These visions fade away When he returns from the dream He tries to remember what he's seen He knows that most won't understand The philosophies in his better land The philosophies in his better land

Its hard to know when I've been With a mind in so many strings Visions of timelines I've changed Lives rearranged The afterthoughts of all the years Still dance in my head Resonating dreams and fears Was it for me or them? When I get home I'll destroy the machine Throw the pieces in the paradoxical sea Try to come to resolution inside me Believing the present is real In my head In my head In my head In my head It's hard to know what to think When the multiversal voices sing Echoes of timelines I have changed leave me deranged The afterthoughts of all the years Still dance in my head Resonating dreams and fears Was it for me or them?

Headlights cut through the rain Thunder from Mansfield to the lake Visions pass in the gypsy wind Outflow draws the travelers in They fill the valley with thoughts for which no one has the time They question the answers we'll never find with the courage to breathe, breathe on the outside Headlights cut through the rain Thunder from Mansfield to the lake Visions pass in the gypsy wind Outflow draws the travelers in They fill the valley with thoughts for which no one has the time They question the answers we'll never find with the courage to breathe, breathe on the outside So we stand and mock them in envy as prisoners of unnatural order But to them we're afterthoughts thrown across the ridge line, far from the water Lives occluded by fear Lives occluded by fear Remnants of ourselves consumed by the lie Delusions of grandeur consumed by time Headlights cut through the rain Thunder from Mansfield to the lake

Everybody has a story tell Everybody has something to sell A look into one's eyes for authenticity and you realize we're all scared as hell Watch the moon rise above world Lighting our journey from behind 7 billion fights for tomorrow In the speeding away of time The universe speaks nothing of our plight Everybody has a story tell Everybody has something to sell A look into one's eyes for authenticity and you realize we're all scared as hell Maybe there is solace in love Shattering infinity above The thoughts the significance of it all nd you'll find the greatest minds fall Watch the moon rise above our world Lighting our journey from behind 7 billion fights for tomorrow When all there is, is tonight Everybody has a story tell Everybody has something to sell A look into one's eyes for authenticity and you realize we're all scared as hell

Staring at the clocks on the wall Frozen when my body falls Echoes fall into the noise Doubt challenges my poise I'm tired fighting this room I'm tired of fighting with you I'll keep the battle to myself A redress of me and no one else Staring at the clocks on the wall Frozen when my body falls What if can fill my head But what was is gone and only lives the ghost of regret I'm tired fighting this room I'm tired of fighting with you I'll keep the battle to myself A redress of me and no one else Oh these moments are all my own Oh these moments are all my own Staring at the clocks on the wall Frozen when my body falls

He steps off a train in world of stolen lives Cold wind blows down the road and tears well in his eyes Locomotive tears down the pathway of scars Quiet desperation worn on people's faces in the cars He's just looking for the room the breathe Words of wisdom lost in what society's perception sees Temporal madness has carried him this far In his mind a hall of mirrors, a false shimmer of the stars It's a hard truth riding these rails Light falls through thoughts forgotten as past in silence fails He stands upon the ivory precipice where dreams are held for too long and time becomes meaningless He's just looking for the room the breathe Words of wisdom lost in what society's perception sees Temporal madness has carried him this far In his mind a hall of mirrors, a false shimmer of the stars Just a half mile from the Einstein-Rosen Bridge Just a half mile from the Einstein-Rosen Bridge Just a half mile from the Einstein-Rosen Bridge He's just looking for the room the breathe Words of wisdom lost in what society's perception sees Temporal madness has carried him this far In his mind a hall of mirrors, a false shimmer of the stars

Great Escape 04:01
The night behind me The dawn before I'm hiding between the days Time suspended Stream of thought has ended I'm back to being cliche I walk through the city I fade into the gritty scape I walk through the city I fade into the gritty scape Full moon waves from side to side as the night drips down through mind Full moon waves from side to side as the night drips down through mind across the pines I could walk away from it all I could walk away from it all and who would ever know The night behind me The dawn before I'm hiding between the days Time suspended Stream of thought has ended I'm back to being cliche I make my great escape
