INVENT, ANIMATE LYRICS

1. Absence Persistent

You bring the rain, obscuring view
Just to feel the downpour
So stay inside, in the royal blue
The silence you longed for

Hold my hand as we spin
Fall apart in disarray
We're painted in candle light
Stare into the end as we break away

I can't heal what's left unseen
Leaving dead roots to grow beneath
Buried soul, the day that I left you there
Is the day I betrayed my grace
To rot on my own

Night to take the day
Time was supposed to mend
Not to waste away
How to grow became a faith I know
Yet nothing that I was destined to find

The silence you longed for

Hold my hand as we spin
Fall apart in disarray
We're painted in candle light
Stare into the end as we break away

Anguish is the final step
When the face you loathe is finally torn

Night to take the day
Time was supposed to mend
Not to waste away
How to grow became a faith I know
Yet nothing that I was destined to find

2. Shade Astray

Cursed, from day to day it slips
We guess in gray to fill the moment
To be lost in fiction
Drift on no further
It's falsely a friend
Further
Salvation could be mischief
We are

Searching for a way to stay
It's torn in two, we're forced to wait

Earth, can you feel me
As the sun melts me deeper into your soil
Buried in the whisper
Our hearts getting sicker
Make your move to let go
Fade with me

Won't you fade, fade with me
Cause you're all, all I see
Why'd you stay, stay away
As it's far away from me

Drift on no further
Strangle the will within your heart
Craving to be broken down instead of healing in the far

All is gone for you
Falling hard into a space I left you in
As we were almost close
But never felt exposed
And it never left us ripped away
Inside a lucid dream

Won't you fade, fade with me
Cause you're all, all I see
Why'd you stay, stay away
As it's far away from me

I can barely feel your skin on mine
You reach through the branches of monoliths
Growing ever old and green
Calling louder in regret
Lost souls stubborn and desperate to die

Growing ever old and green

I'm starting to find my world again
While trying to shed my fears
We suffer through our own bitterness
It swallows us as we fall

Safely stay inside the paradise
Safely stay inside the paradise

Won't you fade, fade with me
Cause you're all, all I see
Why'd you stay, stay away
As it's far away from me

3. Labyrinthine

Glowing to lead astray
The ones too blinded by the false light
Gilded over the edge of dead memories
The void's way of calling you over the edge
To live in a moment lost to time

Before I fade, you won't take away
The strength and the meaning behind words I say
Before I fade, I felt awakened shame
I'm torn and I swore I could force you to leave

How tragic the truth
That it steals all that's in front of you
Empty and ashamed

Even knowing love, I would stray
No matter the bond between
Swallowed by the overgrowth

Even unto their last breath
As the final fade away
The trees part and clear
Like we were never lost at all

Before I fade, you won't take away
The strength and the meaning behind words I say
Before I fade, I felt awakened shame
I'm torn and I swore I could force you to leave

As I fell through a space in a haven of trees
So crowded by echoes, obscuring this plane
There is no sight to find myself
Dishonest and broken, I'm wandering afraid

Now in this meadow of acceptance
I feel the earth beneath me
When I look in your eyes
Unconditional
Inseparable

4. Without A Whisper

Are you going away
To the place we used to dream of?
Radiance and grace
The only warmth I knew
I know I've been there before with you
(You are)
Now you're fading from me, fading from me
You
You

You
You're fading out of view
And like some kind of heaven
We let the light in
Like some kind of heaven
We disappear

Fading as you sink
So covered in clear
Steering through the sea
Don't wait to breathe
The sun is setting still

I know I've been there before with you
Now you're fading from me, fading from me

You
You're fading out of view
And like some kind of heaven
We let the light in
Like some kind of heaven
We disappear

In the garden grown just for you
A constant dream
Below the earth
Without the feeling of falling deep
It's in you I drown, in you I dream
I know you're fading
You let the light in

And like some kind of heaven
We let the light in
Like some kind of heaven
You're fading from me

You
You're fading out of view
And like some kind of heaven
We let the light in
Like some kind of heaven
We disappear

5. False Meridian

Take me back to where this started
Before you split me into a nightmare divided
Paralyzed by shadows and its blinding me
Far from the surface
I didn't choose to stay asleep
Nothing is permanent
So what face do I choose today?

If I'm forced to stay
And my heart is stained
Could they push me through?
(Through this pain)

Fall on me amber moon
Holding the weight
Knowing my face in ever bloom
Fall on me amber moon
Don't feel the same in disarray
Can you find myself in me?

Where can I reconnect the shattered pieces in my head?
And I'll forgive myself

The weight will crush me
The weight will crush me
The pain only separates
No break in the torment
To be able to feel the severed heart

Several faces used to speak
With only two eyes to see
I'll see the cycle break
When the hereafter swallows me

Fall on me amber moon
In heaven old, you look the same
As the winds carry your name
Fall on me amber moon
Holding the weight
Knowing my face in ever bloom
Fall on me amber moon
Don't feel the same in disarray
Can you find myself in me?

Nights quiet, with only one to witness the agony
Nights quiet, nothing is permanent
So what face do I choose today?

Nights quiet, with only one to witness the agony

6. Reverie

Open my eyes
See myself in you
Never wanted to
Bathe myself in blue

Colored in the light
Darkest in the day
Left my soul with stains
Hardly made it through

Never left a scar
Broken from afar
I feel it's true for you
Fade into the red
Forced to slip ahead
I know it's true in you

So break these confines that you made
The restlessness will fade, it will fade
Replace the feeble path you chase
You're losing your escape
Is this your fate?

Never left a scar
Broken from afar
I feel it's true, for you
Fade into the red
Forced to slip ahead
I know it's true in you

You felt erased by the true
Sacrifices made
So I'm told

I tried to keep us safe from my mistakes
I tried to keep us safe from my mistakes

7. Immolation Of Night

Immovable heart
Tired waves fold against the stone
Broken in the quiet
Like glass against the immortal soul
And after they recede
What remains is what has always been
A resolve I thought to be dust
Sifting through my fingers when I needed it the most
Proved to be steadfast

Bruised and battered
The fragile soul overcoming death
Endless waters
Pull me deeper and take my breath

Crash against me, you will find something more

The only peace I have found is in stillness
The only strength, in my weakness
I never invited the waves
But they have made me into something more

I am enough
I am whole
I am enough

Inside a storm, the calm eye keeps the pressure circling
The wind surrounding

Immovable heart
Tired waves fold against the stone
Broken in the quiet
Like glass against the immortal soul
And after they recede
What remains is what has always been
A resolve I thought to be dust
Sifting through my fingers when I needed it most (Needed more)

Crash against me, you will find something more

8. Purity Weeps

I'll never take you for granted
I'll never leave you abandoned
Another prison of loss and doubts it's true
But nothing keeps me alive as much as you

Sentenced to be frail

Take me back to what we deemed as storms
A withered dream inside a past deformed
Behind the veil, the things I failed to say
I'm coming home so just stay put for me

I'm hiding under lights
And my eyes feel worn at night
You might see me passing through
All these feelings lost in you

Surrounded by faces

Tell me is it you under the sheet of twilight?
A moment you swore you knew
That was lost through time

From dust we form
Where the shades lie, interchangeable
Weakened daylight
We fell into the moment

I'm hiding under lights
And my eyes feel worn at night
You might see me passing through
All these feelings lost in you

Surrounded by faces
That make it seem like they're gracious
The callous hidden in plain sight
Silent backbite testing faith
Vacantly staring, we're alone in this room

Hide in loop, mesmerizing ways
(So alone in this room)
Silent you, sentenced to be frail

I'm hiding under lights
And my eyes feel worn at night
You might see me passing through
All these feelings lost in you

I'll never take it for granted
I'll never leave you abandoned
Another prison of loss and doubts it's true
But nothing keeps me alive as much as you

9. Void Surfacing

Withhold acceptance
When we so easily forgive a child
Never asking twice for another
But we tell ourselves that we know better
An attempt to cauterize the mistakes
Love was branded on your skin
And now it sinks deeper

Ignite the innocence, the panic

Another night as unknowing takes
(The panic)
Another night of the time, to breathe
(Abandoned)

Now your eyes turn to your soul
And punish the inner child
Whose laughter you have stolen
Corrupting his freedom

Burden to another
(Orphaned, unseen)
Burden to another
Replaced by a sin, panic

Another night as unknowing takes
(The panic)
Another night of the time, to breathe
(Abandoned)

Ruthless acts in the black to go back to the garden
That is all it ever was, a selfish bargain
Ruthless acts in the black to go back to the garden
Between the love and the dissipation
You chose to walk

Burden to another
(Orphaned, unseen)
Burden to another
(Martyr for nothing)

10. Emberglow

Have you forgotten how to feel
As I'm bleeding out for you?
Vision's blurring
Failing to see
Awaiting breath to leave

Ascend to fall

Hell will freeze over
You splinter in the blue night
Let's wait and see, under clouds
Together we are spinning, alive

Asleep beside me, dreaming far from home
Alone in pain

You'll stay in time
Away from me and all whats left
Sleeping stuck yet stray
Awaiting wind to leave

Hell won't freeze over
You splinter in the blue night
Lets wait and see, under clouds
Together we are spinning, alive
(We are spinning, alive)

I know it's a fire
Searing through your cold veins
It's a fire
To spread unsound
It takes the world

Hell won't freeze over
You splinter in the blue night
Lets wait and see, under clouds
Together we are spinning, alive

11. Elysium

We know something is on your mind, would you care to open up?
At least share something for us to work with
I know it's weighing you down
Don't be scared, it's going to be just fine
He will meet you in the Elysian Fields

I see the past drifting by
Winds traveled darker
Now bright before my eyes
So I drown my surroundings and let it consume me
I was blind to blood, so I turned away
Stuck behind a veil
Locked in vacant rooms reserved for grief

In these empty halls I sit
Where the silence is so loud
Wonder if I am to go
Leave it to the ones alive

I'm not ready to believe it
Feel astray, will you wait for me?

Not used to letting go
And it's harder now
Left to feel alone
But I still feel your ghost
Can I let it go?
Was I lost somehow?
Never felt your love
When my eyes were shut

I was blind to blood, so I turned away
You were left in the cold

An absence persistent
In shades astray, we decay
Blurred by the distance
Twelve years of loss rained down today
What I lost
What I lost
Standing in the plains of gods
Hold still for me

I see the past drifting by
Winds traveled darker
Now bright before my eyes
So I let it consume me

Not used to letting go
And it's harder now
Left to feel alone
But I still feel your ghost
Can I let it go?
Was I lost somehow?
Never felt your love
When my eyes were shut

What I lost was blind to me
How could your ascension just slip my mind?
I knew you were gone but couldn't feel nor find
Vacant rooms now filled with grief
Wait for me deep in the space between
