I see the highways track like veins,
coursing with poison.
Cells dividing, fueled by rage; this nation of one.
Pray for silence, pray for rain.
Whatever you wish here,
someone out there surely hates how you feel.
Chorus:
Have you seen a view to believe in?
(you are the other)
Have you ever had an opinion?
(you are the other)
I'm afraid this wound isn't healing; fear of each other bleeds us forever.
Whispers clamor in the dark; echoing violence.
Whispers growing, screaming sharp: "Peace is the lie!"
Beating chests and crimson hearts claw at the outside.
The outside cycles from the start and what do we find?
Chorus
Oh, is there only fear here?
Promised dreams undone here?
Everything's so unclear.
Oh, maybe we're still trying,
searching but not finding
what we had in mind here.
This album is a perfect example of music for the sake of music. There are little to no intelligible words, but lyrics are simply (catchy) melodies, almost as if we should move to the music, not flair. Arcade Island
I love how this album exemplifies feelings and moods, the songs aren't necessarily about events. Sometimes I think that says more about life than anything else. Arcade Island
