Bright and burning throne You were born hysterical You pacify your hours to cope Nirvana at the end of your rope You're the guest of the gun One for all and all for none We're models of a mass attention In bottles for your mass production All the other gods are forgiving, but you never prayed enough Redder than the blood on your ribbon, but you never bled enough Walking with your eyes on the ceiling, till you break the pattern up Temple of the heart that you're filling, filling up Sentinel of your soul You are so intangible You pacify your hours to cope Nirvana at the end of your rope You're the guest of the gun One for all and all for none We're models of a mass attention In bottles for your mass production All the other gods are forgiving, but you never prayed enough Redder than the blood on your ribbon, but you never bled enough Walking with your eyes on the ceiling, till you break the pattern up Temple of the heart that you're filling, filling up Falling in, falling in, the perfect prey You'll never play

We took our logic and threw it overboard Circled it like sharks smelling blood in the water You hallucinate yourself the perfect lover Dressed with best intention, dripping with another All disarmed, the faded charm Watching as we fall apart Lost and drifting off until you're gone We talk like strangers with empty story lines Stare right through each other, then on to the next lie Ooh, hallucinate yourself the perfect lover Dressed with best intention, dripping with another All disarmed, the faded charm Watching as we fall apart Lost and drifting off until you're gone Rising tide of vague replies Pulling the scales out from my eyes I'm not the anchor this time. (Circled it like sharks smelling blood in the water)

Every day's the same, till the sun eclipses Your divisive ways and your cruel convictions Oh, this masquerade for a foolish vision Left you wandering for a new addiction Chasing after ghosts in your bed Reaching out like souls in transit Shadows in your arms, floating like a weight in water Closer than you think, to an old solution Since the wars we make only fuel pollution Shake my soul awake when my color's faded I'm so out of sync, you're so elevated Chasing after ghosts in your bed Reaching out like souls in transit Shadows in your arms, floating like a weight in water

Iron Hands 03:55
Iron hands move slow Soft as metal, I'm alive but I'm barely hanging on If my skin should rust from the rain and sun I'll shed my layers till their gold Days grow fast, and distance has a cost Lakes of glass, Drifting by Design Iron legs drag on You're supplement of faded charms, won't hold out for very long Heavy lungs breathe slow Voice corroded from the flood of the beast that you've become Days grow fast, and distance has a cost Lakes of glass, Drifting by Design

While your body sleeps, all your dreams repeat They fall to the back of your heart All defenses with your eyes wide shut Re-wire Meditation's daughter You're still treading water Why bother with all the ashes of all you left behind to level out? Re-wire You give and you cut with your eyes wide shut Shapes of your soul and your broken gut Re-wire

about

"It manages to tell the tale of that most surreal and ambling journey, remaining firmly planted in the present while at the same time boundlessly moving forward, unstoppable as life. It is BRAEVES' arduously crafted design that gives this ode to a drifting trajectory the capacity to soar." - Audiofemme
