Surrounded by a sea of people, white noise Their lips don’t match what I hear, twisted white noise Sound doesn’t travel far and I end up mixing metaphor I’m here without being here off in a world unseen At least ‘till I realize it’s a world that’s never been Surrounded I start to drift deep into my mind Streams of thought intertwine, and soon I’ll leave it all behind I’m here without being here off in a world unseen At least ‘till I realize it’s a world that’s never been Dreaming of disaster I drift even deeper still I can find whole worlds in this prodigal of mine Perfectly content until I find that they’re stories, nothing more Context fictitious; my world is distant Eyes open wide while blind to real life Hopelessly caught between it all This journey ends full circle I’m here without being here off in a world unseen At least ‘till I realize it’s a world that’s never been Tell me something stupid Tell me that I’m just one man Tell me that I’m trapped inside This world that never was Tell me that I’ll never make it Tell me that I’m just afraid Tell me how weak I am for wishing to escape

Numb Slowly numb Just keep coasting, you aren’t as aware Slide in the needle too slow to feel Perspective plays a game Where missing pieces blur the bigger picture Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder blind Illusory, preconceived, Misinformed prejudice Blinded by paradigm Scorn ignites, hate divides In a world where we all have To scream just to be heard No one can communicate We’re all deaf, dumb and blind Connection is impossible Meaningless and contrived All because we subdivide and imagine blurring lines You think you can feel But your nerves don’t fire You’ve leveled all waves Cynical and jaded Nothing reaches threshold You’ve leveled all waves You never will gain insight When your cup’s already full Perception distorts and blinds Remember to forget Motion without thought Emotion without feeling Numbness disinterests Discourse without action Conflict without purpose Stagnant disinterest Perception is but a door to infinite Open we find inherent ties, a beauty within Perception is but a door to infinite Endless forms, we are all but one

My senses blur with synesthetic grace Racing heart sets the pace Searching in while reaching out Molecular key eliminates doubt Fearless I elicit a life-changing journey For better or worse into my mind I close my eyes but still can see Time stands still yet the hours fly by Wandering with purpose I deconstruct Tangled knots with new sight Spirit I call to witness this life-changing journey For better or worse into my mind The old ones dissect - no vivisect Flesh, blood, and bone as living memory With child-like awe I am confronted with The utter complexity of this existence I no longer see in only black and white Every ideal and every part of myself comes into question There is acceptance. I am temporary. I can be me. They piece me back together Flawlessly, seamlessly With newfound knowledge as equals we depart Twin serpents coil around me They whisper every secret and I untangle knots Freed of the world and my bridge of glass I must return all too soon Reconnected with reality This freedom is temporary Spirit I call to witness this life-changing journey For better or worse into my mind

All the time in the world you realize Fleeting and ephemeral are the best of times You struggle to make sense of mixed signs You’re lost. Everyone you know has drifted Ties are impermanent at best Attachment is born of mutual fear Words are wind, fickle whispers Lines in the sand aren’t easily erased One should never have to try to justify why One should always simply sail by so silently One should never have to try to figure why One should let go so easily You dreamed of a constellation Lines in the sky, stars stitched in gold Outside of time you orbited for a while But then, one by one you snuffed them out Let go attachment thrives on fear Distance is just a trick of the eye Swallow your pride, stop treading water This isolation is self imposed One should never have to try to justify why One should always simply sail by so silently One should never have to try to figure why One should let go so easily You dreamed of a constellation But you think it fell apart Under this crushing force New stars are born New paths may meet Free of this disconnection Burning for new purpose Once doubt leaves, regret’s let go New ties form New paths may meet

about

"The album is an attempt to integrate my biggest musical influences, combining disparate forms of music into a unique sound that represents who I am as a composer. The lyrical themes explored on the album deal with connection— how we relate to one another, the world, how we define our identities and the seemingly arbitrary lines that divide."
-Dan Sciolino
