Altered State

TesseracT Altered State Lyrics
1.Of Matter Proxy

I'm a surrogate
I'm our type of land in civil rest
I'm your excuse to know
For our superior
I will undertake
I will overcome...

Imperfection you will find
They're close to us
They're after us
They're right here

This endeavor is not mine
It's a deadly trip
The damage at our feet

I'm stronger than I was before
No, sir-ee, I push these walls
Like I found you holding on

Direction by the open door
All the chances I ignore
Like I stand still holding on...

The day is done
Nothing left to say
Pressing hand in hands
Wishing I had known my place
To take a stand
The year under the fall
That's a reprimand
I'm here to help you through...

Is there for like it seems
Living in this secret through a dream
It's dark and I can't see
Gather broken shards of self-esteem...


2.Of Matter Retrospect

Burning bridges as I cower beneath
trying to salvage the debris my devotion
tied around your waist lest you fall
no one seems to sense the strain
no one seems to know...

Burning bridges as I cower beneath
trying to salvage the debris my devotion
tied around your waist lest you fall
no one seems to sense the strain
no one seems to know...

I don't begin to proclaim that I know
I can't continue down this road

dweling on what has come to pass
no force alive will bring it back
I would know
I can feel the pressure getting steeper
with every life lost
you hope that I won't see the light
of day in time to come
with no conviction founded just
judgement contorted based on lust
give me strenght!
your assumption brings to a conclusion
of no consequence
and I refuse to play into your hands for your appeal

Inadequate, Inadequate
I know... I know... I know
I know...
I've hoped... I've hopep
you'll see me


3.Of Matter Resist

Turn back time
Reason why
Break neck speed
History

Waiting (waiting)
Waning (waning)
Exasperating
Unstrung
Tethered
Hoping forever

No! I tried to settle bets with my own soul
Bless my lips for the first time before you don't
Gripping to the last touch of your hand I grow to loathe
Hope that you remember just how far I'll go
Spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough

Resist
Resist
Resist

Resist
Resist
Resist


4.Of Mind Nocturne

Climb
You're Dehydrated
Fly
Your wings are jaded
Cry
You're enervated
Die
For what you believe in
Try
Youve nearly made it
Why (why)

You're the plague within my dreams
Soaring through an atmosphere
Of an adequate lack of strength
And we're responsible
The truth is that it will end here
Denial's an impairment of your fear
Can we save us from ourselves
Can we save us from ourselves
(This is the savior and it's form)

You can break through
Wake me up
Tell me (it's gone)
False hope sells
Lies (I wont buy)
We are (still one)

Let's attempt escape
Melancholia will feed
We'll admit defeat
The vox popular will cease
The air is thickening
We are drifting

You're the plague within my dreams
Soaring through an atmosphere
of an adequate lack of strength
And we're responsible
The truth is that it will end here
Denial's an impairment of your fear
Can we save us from ourselves
Can we save us from ourselves
(This is the savior and it's form)

What's done is done
One more second chance
Would be enough
Only on the brink
Can we see so clearly

Wake me up


5.Of Mind Exile

Turn your back on everything
Banging heads with prophecy
Lavish in uncertainty

Who will I be?
How will i live to tell
What I have seen?
Must I endure the hell
That comes with the peace
An equilibrium
Of gods own release

What does it all mean?
How can he jusitify
How can we breathe
When the stagnancy's choking me?
How can we dream?
The nightmare - The reality
How do you sleep at night?

Take this doubt and fear to your grave

This life of stone
The hand of god
I'm too tempted to bribe
I'm getting old
And I'm growing paralyzed
We're all alone
Until we let our minds
Take to the skies
Our blood runs cold
Yet we remain alive

What's the confliction
Between heart and mind?
How to bridge the void?
Fuse the two in kinship
To understand your prospects and vistas
And yet to see the love here too
It's more than I can do
Vows and pursuits which at best
Hollow I remain
Torn in two

Just seize the moment
Sabotage the Lines
Life turns on a dime
Please cease the torment
It's weighing on my mind
The pressue you apply won't hold

This life of stone
The hand of god
I'm too tempted to bribe
I'm getting old
And I'm growing paralyzed
We're all alone
Until we let our minds
Take to the skies
Our blood runs cold
Yet we remain alive

Lavish in uncertainty
Turn your back on everything


6.Of Reality Eclipse

I won't deny my mind
Has wandered to the other side
Follow the light
The beauty of explosion
In the sky

I've breached the silence
I reek of sin
A rift in the forked road
I grow to dread
Don't cry to me
I'm not a friend
To those who dwell
On the dead

Detox sunrise

There's a crevice in my hope
The scale the means
The end won't stop overwhelming me
No light at the end of the tunnel
The fear - The doubt
The dark won't cast shadow over me

I'm broken
You're broken

As the crescent grows
And as the light returns
Can we face a new beginning?
Such a restrospective Obsession


7.Of Reality Palingenesis

What emerges from this seed
(No ones's to know)
The endless possibilities
(Continue to grow)
I fight my way through soil and stone
(Born to this world)
Am I to face it all alone?
(In solitude)
Crawling through the furrows deep
(I sense the storm
waiting for me at the peak
Marching to the drums of

War

Won't suffice
Will not satisfy
Value your life?
Turn back now
While there's time
Change your mind
Find a resolve
Of a peaceful kind
We won't fight
Only to survive
My back - your knife
That's the price
You have laid upon your lives

I know it's too late
Can't redeem (can't redeem)
My respect

You don't know what it costs
All this work will be lost
You deserve all you get
(You deserve all you get)


8.Of Reality Calabi-Yau

(Instrumental)


9.Of Energy Singularity

No don't
Give me your hand
I can save you from the fall
Go
I'm in your shadow
Run until your feet
Are aching to the bone

I see you looking back at me
As this might be the end of me
Misfortune in my history
And even more awaiting me
Tired of such controversies
Sometimes I long for sweet release
I've found a place that welcomes me
A greener grass a bluer sea
Free from all the sodden grief
No clenching fists no gritting teeth
I feel the freedom as I breathe
A nature and its calm relief

It all comes to life
Right before your eyes

And I wander
Through ideals
Reflecting all I know and how it falls
Into focus it seems
My progression lays behind this wall
So I plant a seed
And lead erosion to the wall
And lead erosion to it all

And I wander
Through ideals
Reflecting all I know and how it falls

And I'll be here
Looking for the purpose in the sun
And I'll be ever here

The horizon bears such beauty
We'll never know
How much we can see
Your atheist
Terse solemnity
It bruises me

No don't
Give me your hand
I can save you from the fall
Go
I'm in your shadow
Run until your feet
Are aching to the bone

And it all comes to life
Why do I still feel?
Dead inside

So I plant a seed
And lead erosion to the wall
And lead erosion to it all

I see you looking back at me
As this might be the end of me
Misfortune in my history
And even more awaiting me
Tired of such controversies
Sometimes I long for sweet release
I've found a place that welcomes me
A greener grass a bluer sea
Free from all the sodden grief
No clenching fists no gritting teeth
I feel the freedom as I breathe
A nature and its calm relief


10.Of Energy Embers

I think I've seen
A million sights
And then I see
That I'm still a child
How could I have
Been so blind
To firmly believe
There is no choice

I'm so aware
That you are just
As equally
Cauterised as I
Is this for me?
Another flame
To tarnish my every chance

Wait inside the fire
