(Riffs/Song Structure: Gillis)

(0:31)

Abandoned in the tunnels

Seeking the true portals

Fumbling while lost within

Encircled eternal evasion

Hosts & scribes - forms of potential suffering

Tactics of false endurance - remain elusive

(0:59)

Demise a persistent pondering

Escape to wake again drained

Time is not on our side

Glimmers shrouded by tomorrow

(1:26)

As I toil, and strain to master,

Focus - Mastering the disease.

Something lurks behind me.

(1:46)

Breaching the weathered threshold..

(1:58)

Unreal glimpse of fate

Calling off permanence

Drifting out of this world

(2:18)

A timeline ripe for disaster

Priority avoidance

Your brick wall

Stacking & building

Climbing & keeping on

Limits of choice pushing discovery

(2:47)

A skeptics vision of the future

Vacant - impossible pacification

(3:22)

Never means forever

A festering malevolence in my bones.

Impending darkened days

(3:46 - Gillis: guitar solo)

(4:00)

As I toil, and strain to master,

Focus - Mastering the disease

Someone lurks behind you

(4:23)

Abandoned in the tunnels - those of avoidance

Fumbling - deprived of my pharma inclusion

Hosts & scripts of essential suffering

Tactics of endurance - regain illusion

(4:50)

Demise - an efficient pandering

Escape to sleep, a thirst obtained

Time not allowed on our side

Glimmers shrouded by tomorrow
