Awakened by the sound of the drill
It's cutting through my soul
I can't believe they found me here
Deep inside of this hole
Filling it with Pain
Drill
Drill
Drill
And take it all away
Drill and shatter the crystalline in me
I was born deep in this oceanic home
I got used to eyes shut in silence
And through this unpredictable lust for innocence
They cut me out and used me for their gain
As the well dries out
I feel the air in the tomb
In the still, let go
Enter the new life
As the poison is rushing down
You drill
Inside
And take anything you want
Gutted me and left them a shell
Please leave me here
To rest forever
Please leave me be
Let it sleep
Flooded with chemicals
Paralyzed
Sterilized
Have no choice...
I can't stand this sound anymore
I have to give in and let it die
All these dreams at the bottom of the well
Will fade away when they're boring my soul
My soul
Ripping me apart
Cutting me down
Put into pipes
Extracted
Sold
Left in the dark
Employed
To work up on the Rig

I'm a kid on an offshore platform
I was sleeping on the job and I had a dream
I had a dream that drill cut through me
And since then I fear I might lose myself
Workers fade away
Ghost remnants still haven't left this place
This is the rig
Forgotten Rig
Alone by myself
Frozen in fear
In the cold wind's embrace
Pulling me near
Inside of a dream, but
Lost in my mind
Over and over again
I drill
Drill
Drill
I'm a kid on an offshore platform
Losing flow, losing flow, losing focus here
You're over water, over water, you don't have a choice
I don't care, today I'm running, I'm running away
Down stairs with handrails
Past pipe walls and steam vents
Down here with no where to go
Hang on
Just hang on, hang on to the pipe
Don't let go
Alone by myself
Frozen in fear
In the cold wind's embrace
Pulling me near
Inside of a dream, but
Lost in my mind
Over and over again

Mindfold
03:36

When I stare into the water
He's looking back at me
Reflection of my darker side
Whispers I'm not free
On every single sightless thought
I'm left unclear
My silence breaks the surface
And drowns me in this fear
You're letting your mind fold
That the structure inside is faced with collapse
You're bereft in all, all that you do
To preserve the crystal shards beneath
It happens underneath
Inside these crystal caverns
But they break and shatter
As the drill comes in
Never again will it stay the same
Beautiful crystal shards are gone
And cut right right through you
You're letting your mind fold
You're letting your mind fold
You're letting your mind fold
You're letting your mind fold

5. My Envelope
I will always hold on
To this unopened letter
Feeling inside
The key is waiting for me
To unlock the final door
It stayed with me for 1200 years
Through the sheds and the snow valley's gorge
In my pocket through the World of the Bore
But when I reached the final door
The key was nothing more
Than rust
Watch the rust pour
From my envelope
Why won't you open up and let me change the machinery
I'll turn the wheel
You fear that I know who you are
Sitting there behind this door
All that's left is an envelope
Watch the pages fall
Tear the pages up and let the little pieces fly away
Nobody has to know
You're not going to read it
Tear the pages up and let the little pieces fly away
Nobody has to know
You! You! You wouldn't read it
Tear the pages up and let the little pieces fly away
Nobody has to know
You wouldn't read it

6. Hydraulic Fracturing
Watching youth fade away
This is our last chance
This is it now
Now that I'm an old man
Committed to breaking the crust
I give unto myself this power
Like God, with hydraulic fracturing
Your fate my hands
I control the strings
That bind the world
To my fingertips
I'll drill
No, save us from this rig
Please leave us in the ground
No, stop the desecration
By your hydraulic fracturing
Like the Hydra
Unleashed
That feed on souls beneath
Drill
Drill
Drill
Drill
It's burning out
Faster, faster, faster
Don't stop now
Faster and faster and faster
There's nothing left for you
Keep grinding through rock and through youth
Until it's just a memory
No, there's nothing left
Just a shell down there

Secrets From Below
06:02

The storm is forming
The storm is forming
Have you heard the secrets from below
Whispered out through the seeping steam spirits
They told all about the light
That opens portals to another life
The storm is forming in the distance now
The storm is forming in the night
One last chance to find the secret well below
Golden sun
You never let me sleep
Until now
When the dusk and dawn meet
Bastard suns
Never let me leave
Until now
When the ends of the world meet
I will merge
Within the light
Take me away
From the storm
Before the waves are coming in
Waves are flooding and pushing me around
I can't hold light open anymore
Waves are coming in
Waves are drowning and pushing me around
I can't hold on anymore
To see the light through
I will be lost in a darkened sea
Tumbling backwards through the waves
And all that will be left of this toxic tower
Are the scattered pieces of the past
Hold on
Hold on
Beyond the secrets in the dark
Lie the well that's emanating souls
Hold on to pieces of the past
Of the collapse
You will make your way back
Beyond the secrets in the dark
You know well, it's emanating light
Hold on to something as you go
A semblance of the past you left
It will lead you back
Back to the light
Hold on

Scraping off the crust
Scraping off the crust
Scraping off the flakes
From my skin
Come on
One day
I will break
Out of the cage
I'm shackled in solitude
My rusted body awaits
The next rising tide
I'll be forced again
Into the return of memories
The return of memories
In this drowned state
Gasping for air
Stuck onto this barge
Three times
I saw the past and cried
Three times
I saw the future
Burning black smoke
Dying world
Three times
I go back in
To the industry we're all in
Soaked in the memories of returns
And see the memories of the green field grass
Turning bleak
Turning dirt to rust
As the industrial world left
Go ahead and drink last sips of paradise
Leave it all
Leave it all to ruins
Go ahead and rust
The winds won't fade
Then I'll be here
Waiting
Waiting
For 1 year
3 years
5 years
8 years
13 years
19 years
28 years
40 years
49 years
60 years
Someone come back for me
I'm sitting in this cage
Waiting here forevermore
Someone will cross the sea
I'm sitting here forevermore
Someone come back for me
And smash this fucking cage
Forever I'm soaked in the returns of memories
Soaked in the returns of memories
Emerge
Emerge again
Emerge
Emerge again
To an eternal sunset
Oh to an eternal sunset
The winds won't fade
I'll be here
Waiting for you
Waiting until the end
I'll wait
I'll wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
I think I found the answer
To put a stop to the rage
I think I found the answer
To get out of the cage
I'll wait
I'll wait
I'll wait for you
71 years
130 years
280 years
560 years
740 years
970 years
1200 years
Until the seal breaks

Kola
Kola
Kola
Kola
Kola
There was snow
On the cloudberries
It seemed like I walked forever
Through the hills
There's a beacon
Of the past
An open wound
Like snot
Dripping out my nostril
Like reversed smoke
Flowing out
My soul led me
To the Kola superdeep
And then released itself
To find the greatness underneath
The borehole
My soul led me
To the Kola superdeep
To find a resting place
In the Kola superdeep borehole
I stood up
From the hole
A piece of me is missing now
I'm just walking around
With no where to go
My soul is under the ground
On its way all the way down
And I am walking around endlessly
Trailing red in the snow
My soul is under the ground
On its way all the way down
And I am walking around endlessly
For no reason at all
Blood was running through my veins
Telling me
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't let them
Steal your fate
Don't let them
Close the hole
No
No
Don't let them
Steal your fate
It can die
Is this where I die
On these plains of snow
The white
One last cloudberry
From the brush
The sweet to grace
These human lips
Is this where I die
None will be remembered
And that's fine
Here's where I die

Corrosion
05:26
|
|

Metals lay
In the sand
After the world's collapse
But suddenly
They start to levitate
Towards the ocean
Floating along
As if the sky was water
Corroded pieces
Will complete the cycle
Along that way
The fairy dust erosion
Detached
Only the shiniest pieces
Rise to the top
To the top
But its okay
Everyone is forgiven
and forgotten
Corrosion is apart of us
Until it's sucked
Into the wormhole
To incubate
The rust
Will settle
And form
Me
Corrosion
Form me
Corrosion
Form me
Form me
Form me
