The Halo Effect - A Truth Worth Lying For

One side of this watershed moment
Left the fair and true objective far behind
For fear of facing what rationale resigns to
The thought of you alone with demons on your mind

Ravaging the nerves
Overtaking consciousness
What was said and what was done
Now haunt the witching hour

Let the now begin today
To the past a swift farewell
Innocence is nothing
When shadowminds prevail
Let the fear be gone today
To oblivion we cast it down
When shadowminds prevail

Let go of this, the embers of the day
Bring not the fire to the combustible night
Rather have the anger extinguish the flames
Than numbing chemicals to keep it at bay

Ravaging the nerves
Overtaking consciousness
What was said and what was done
Now haunt the witching hour

Let the now begin today
To the past a swift farewell
Innocence is nothing
When shadowminds prevail
Let the fear be gone today
To oblivion we cast it down
When shadowminds prevail

Let the now begin today
To the past a swift farewell
Innocence is nothing
When shadowminds prevail
Let the fear be gone today
To oblivion we cast it down
When shadowminds prevail

Let the now begin
To oblivion we cast you down
Innocence is nothing
Don't let shadowminds prevail

We spent the last of our time
In isolation
Without a question to the night...
Must we go, to the end
Must we fall behind the lines
We must go, for ourselves, to the end

Inside the turmoil of the mind
The truth lies further away
From the light of the day to the blind decisions
True contradiction

I don't want to be
Where you think I am
Self-deception is a part of me
What is always there for you
A truth worth lying for

We turned hours into days
Meaning into nothing
Without a moment to recall
Must we take what we have to remember
We must make of ourselves what we lack

Outside the instinct there is light
Our time is ending
We take control, we hold the line
Against this blinding fear

I don't want to be
Where you think I am
Self-deception is a part of me
What is always there for you
A truth worth lying for
The one who's never there is a part of me

I don't want to be
Where you think I am
Self-deception is a part of me
What is always there for you
A truth worth lying for
The one who's never there

I don't want to be
Where you think I am
Self-deception is a part of me
What is always there for you
A truth worth lying for
The one who's never there is a part of me

Let fall pretense and distance
Let rage, the failure inside
Left to instinctual forces
As it rides the hours
Take it to the end of a false beginning
What is lost to society
Break into the fortress holding us down
Lost in reality

Make true resistant progress
Against a future to hold
Regress is not in the system
As the hours burn
Break the waves of a force incoming
What is lost to society
Let us out, let us out
Let us out

We must go to the end of our dependence
Light the fire, take the fall
We must go to rid us of our wants now
The state of being on the line
Conditional

This state of being, complicit with the cause
Interdependence broken

Our reality is altered
Through the fault of our own...
Our reality is shifting
Conditional

We must go to the end of our dependence
Light the fire, take the fall...
We must go to rid us of our wants now
The state of being on the line

We must go to the end
Light the fire
Take the fall
We must got to the end
This state of being
Conditional

To lean on the impossible
Is the failure of our dreams
The days of independence
Need revolutions to reveal

The fact, the word, the undenied
Take a shot at the lies
The way, the eyes, the nondescript
Give in to muted relief

Fall to the form
Fit into the norm

Now I see you standing all by yourself
There in the silence
I see you're all to yourself
And these are the hours
These are the days
These are the hours
These are the days of the lost

In the end what stands to reason
Like pillars to uphold
Must be a universal
Indivisible line

Fall to the form
Fit into the norm

Now I see you standing all by yourself
There in the silence
I see you're all to yourself
These are the hours
These are the days
These are the hours
These are the days of the lost

Now I see you standing all by yourself
There in the silence
I see you're all to yourself
These are the hours

Now I see you standing all by yourself
There in the silence
Now I see you standing all by yourself
These are the hours
These are the days
These are the hours
Days of the lost

Behind the logical within
So far from the lines I've crossed, you'll see
I'll bring an end to this
The fall from something greater
Conflicting thoughts result in chaos
It's a chaos that is mine

If you could only see me now...
If only you could know
And feel what I believe
To be real and always true
Be what I claim to be lost
In the emptiness that haunt me still
The helplessness that break me

If you could only see me now
If only you could know
If you could ever understand
And feel what I believe

I feel it coming
I feel it coming to a close
Where promises are lies
It sets me up
For disappointment through and through
Where chaos claims the straight and narrow

If you could only see me now
If only you could know
If you could ever understand
And feel what I believe

The shift in our perspective
Leave us further from, withdrawn
What causes to this friction
Are we accountable for...

If you could only see me now...
If only you could know
If you could ever understand
And feel what I believe
If only you could see
If only you would know
If only you could see
And feel what I believe

If only you could see
If only you would know
If only you could see
And feel what I believe

We are of the persuasion
We are of the cause
That fail within our systems
We are the nothingness
Uphold the courtesy
While taking the crown

Rise from the inside
Rise from the norm
We are the blindness...
We are the blind...

Gateways to the fear among you
Lifelong race to leave behind
Deep inside the violence rages
Till the fear within you dies

Gateways to the fear among you
Lifelong race to leave behind
Deep inside the violence rages
Till the fear (fear) within you dies

It takes a moment
It extracts moments out from time
Where you alter the course
That leads to the end of denial
And do you give up?
Or do you give in?

Gateways to the fear among you
Lifelong race to leave behind
Deep inside the violence rages
Till the fear within you dies

Gateways to the fear among you
Lifelong race to leave behind
Deep inside the violence rages
Till the fear within you dies

Do you give up?
Or do you give in?..
Do you give up?..
Or do you give in?

Gateways to the fear among you
Lifelong race to leave behind
Deep inside the violence rages
Till the fear within you dies

Gateways to the fear among you
(Gateway to the fear)
Race to leave behind
(Do you give in?)
This violence rages
Till the fear (till the fear, till the fear) within you dies

There is a place that holds the answer
Where nothing calls to be set free...
It ends and it begins with utter silence
It holds what is better kept inside

Where do we go...
On the day that should never ever come?

I don't want fallen angels
I want to feel like I belong
I don't want broken promises
Our trust is failing

It bears no falsehood or deception
It informs our ways and clears our path...
What is set in motion begins to alter
Knowing it will never end...

I don't want fallen angels
I want to feel like I belong
I don't want broken promises
Our trust is failing

I don't want fallen angels
I want to feel like I belong
I don't want broken promises
Our trust is failing

I don't want fallen angels
I want to feel like I belong
I don't want broken promises
Our failure
Our failure is trust

From far within ourselves the fires brought it out
The sights and sounds of the rebellion
Laid dormant to the overseer, resist detection here
Below the surface, we can hear it coming

To be done with all of this, we find shelter underground...
From the rules and the expectations
To the horrors that are in your head
From the first to the last of those unbound by fury

So follow me down...
Follow me down, we are the will to be
What never they could see
We will remain the last of our kind

Where our forces rise within
The outskirts and the nameless darkness
Our souls ignited, the beaten path
The only one for whom we march

To be rid of all you fear within the underground...
From the rules and the expectations
To the horrors that are in your head
From the first to the last of those unbound by fury

So follow me down...
Follow me down, we are the will to be
What never they could see
We will remain, we will remain
The last of our kind

So when reality comes to your door
You draw the blinds and reach for your armor
In defense of what the world expects of you
It is the last thing on your mind

To be done with all of this, we find shelter underground...
From the rules and the expectations
To the horrors that are in your head
From the first to the last of those unbound by fury

So follow me down, the last of our kind
We are the will to be the last of our kind
What never they could see
We will remain the last of our kind

Far in the distance, revealed to be the end
Draws ever closer to ourselves
The jagged edges of our past tear the years apart
Relived in empathy denied

I see longing through the timeless eyes
I see purpose gone astray through a prism of lies
I see longing, I see purpose gone astray
Why does it matter?

The higher we rise, the further we go
No matter how close we can get
The higher we rise, the further we go
In this, the poverty of self

What in the future opens to the void
These longer days stretch away
Helpless as the mind commands
Raise us from oppression's hold
We're altered by our divide

I see longing for some peace of mind
I see purpose gone astray, does it matter?

The higher we rise, the further we go
No matter how close we can get
The higher we rise, the further we go
In this, the poverty of self
We are the most alone

Looking through a prism of lies
I see purpose gone astray, does it matter?

The higher we rise, the further we go
No matter how close we can get
The higher we rise, the further we go
In this, the poverty of self
We are the most alone

(The most alone...)

We are helpless, as the world demands
It pulls us into the void
Our wild gaze turns the other way
To shield ourselves from the pain

I see failure
Through the eyes of time
Through the eyes of time

What in the distance
Brings us to resolve
Reveal the paradigm
That shifts and turns forevermore
Where is the fire
Where is the spark
In this final hour

We fight the constructs
And the asymmetry
Take out the virus at the core
Inside of this array
That holds us closer
And slowly grinds us further down

I see nothing
Through the eyes of time
We are silenced at every turn

Where is the fire
Where is the spark
In this final hour
Where's the fire
Where's the spark
In this silent hour
Where's the fire
In the dark
We have come to a needless end

What in our lives
Brought us to this point
This new direction
That shifts and turns forevermore
Where is the fire
Where is the spark
In this final hour
Where's the fire
Where's the spark
In this silent hour
Where's the fire
In the dark
We have come to a needless end

From the pain that gives
You what you should not be taking
You fail the outreach
A lonely mind subdued
The pressure brought upon us
Surmounts the suburban ideal
Defences broken down
What can we do

Where do we go from here on out
When will the outside match what's burning inside
We're forced to be
To not be seen
We're forced to be
The players in someone else's game

Don't let what the other's say
Lead you from what noone can
Be the path and do not fail
Don't bend to what anyone says
Or take away from what you are
(Be the path) Be the path of fierce resistance

Drawn to the underground
Far from the expected norm
Scorned, lost and indecisive
What can we do

Where do we go from here on out
We're stuck in someone else's game

Don't let what the other's say
Lead you from what noone can
Be the path and do not fail
Don't bend to what anyone says
Or take away from what you are
(Be the path) Be the path of fierce resistance

We are merely players
Performers and portrayers

We're forced to be
To not be seen
We're forced to be
The players in someone else's game

Don't let what the other's say
Lead you from what noone can
Be the path and do not fail
Don't bend to what anyone says
Or take away from what you are
(Be the path) Be the path of fierce resistance
