Dark Tranquillity - Eyes Of The World

So burn the trail and keep the flames alight
Before the end appears inside the haze
Bare the shadow cast from journey's end
The final curtain falls, there's nothing there

Without a trace
We lie in wait again

You lost the will to feel
And take the highs and lows for granted
Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different?
I know, I know, I know

Far away and out of our reach
Our broken ways abandoned long ago
Freed inside the walls of your design
Non-conforming, wavering alone

A drawn out
Exit from the norm

You lost the will to feel
And take the highs and lows for granted
Is this wasted on the numb knowing this won't make a difference?
I know, I know, I know

Is there bliss in resisting
The fortune of feelings we hold?
The sharp edges that determine our shape
The scars that now expose the pain
Our broken bodies speak of triumph
Our face reveals what should be known
Yet, you burn the trail
Burn

You lost the will to feel
And take the highs and lows for granted
Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different?
I know, I know, I know

Senses die in me
To the point of resistance failure
Numb to the noise and the self-defining
Liberation of the ego deceived
Liberation of the ego deceived

With the self negated
Taken to the core of

Reaction formation
Sublimation channeling
Reaction formation
Sublimation channeling
Idealize the maker
Move the application
Above the form
Till it brings you down

I cannot feel your pain
I cannot see your fear
Though I can sense your anger now
I'm just the one who wants
Just the one who needs
Locked in ego deception

Hours die in me
As deception powers to resist the known simplicity
In the giving of what others could want
Oblivious and headstrong
Liberation lies within
Oblivious to constructs coming down

Deception formation
Sublimation channeling
Deception formation
Sublimation channeling
Reshaping of reality
Reinforcing a lie
On which it's built upon

I cannot feel your pain
I cannot see your fear
Though I can sense your anger now
I'm just the one who wants
Just the one who needs
Locked in ego deception

Vilification of the unbeliever
Strike fear in inquiry
Justify the perceived intention
Ego deception

He cannot feel your pain
And cannot see your fear
Though he can sense your anger
Just the one who wants
Just the one who needs
Locked in ego deception

Let the dark run
Deep within you
Let the fever
Drive the chaos inside

Let the force out
Non containment area
Give the fading of the light
A chance

Weakening resolve
Break the pattern's
Narrow net
Lore of the obsessed
Leave the finer truths behind

Into the rivalling
Ideas of the lost
Wired to the ends
Of the most sensitives of nerves
In the eyes of the unbroken
Fortune favours loss and doubt
Taught among the ruins
Of empires lost to time

Rage in
Non-commital
Adverse mode
Given is the taking
Of Security unbound

Reckoning with doubt
Fail ahead as mind is set
Core of the incensed
Waive the right as truth be told

In empires now lost to time

Into the rivalling
Ideas of the lost
Wired to the ends
Of the most sensitives of nerves
In the eyes of the unbroken
Fortune favours loss and doubt
Taught among the ruins
Of empires lost to time

Let the dark run
Let the fever
Drive the chaos inside

Let the dark run
Drive the chaos inside

Into the rivalling
Ideas of the lost
Wired to the ends
Of the most sensitives of nerves
In the eyes of the unbroken
Fortune favours loss and doubt
Taught among the ruins
Of empires lost to time

Bring to an end
This avoidance when you close your eyes
What is now
Had a beginning phase that came to pass

Now the eyes of the world are upon you
We all want to know
Now the eyes of the world are upon you
Will we ever see?

I can feel it coming down
As the walls give way and crumble
I can feel it coming down
And I will be watching

You take the bait
It pulls you in and takes you down
And these days
It seems we miss what lies between, the lies between

We can sense the way they'll spin us
They'll spin us round and round till we forget
Till we forget

Lead the fires to the core
To the end now within reach, we must resist
We must resist

Now the eyes of the world are upon you
We all want to know
Now the eyes of the world are upon you
Will we ever see?

I can feel it coming down
As the walls give way and crumble
I can feel it coming down
And I will be watching
Yeah, I will be watching

Now the eyes of the world are upon you
Will we ever see?

I can feel it coming down
As the walls give way and crumble
I can feel it coming down
And I will be watching
Yeah, I will be watching

Temper the burn
With the death of a night, unending
The voices fall again
In judgement and scorn

The sky disappears
To fragment our blind perception
Forge every waking thought
And stoke our fears

To the tune of the apocalypse
To the tune of the apocalypse
Brave the silent hours
Resist the fail state

There is death inside
And nothing but failure
And you will never know its name
You will never know its name

With a line descending
As the voices call again

The barriers appear
To block out our baser instincts
Force each and every thought
To amplify fear

To the tune of the apocalypse
To the tune of the apocalypse
Brave the silent hours
Resist the fail state

There is death inside
And nothing but failure
And you will never know its name
You will never know its name

The final set of fours
Repeat the affirmation
Face the indecision
Resist the fail state

To the tune of the apocalypse
To the tune of the apocalypse
Brave the silent hours
Resist the fail state

To the tune of the apocalypse
To the tune of the apocalypse
Brave the silent hours
Resist the fail state

You've got to resist
Take it in through osmosis
The narrowing ideas
That nestle in your mind
The gradual absorption
Of tension built through time
Distorted false depictions
Can't stand the test of life

I see a dissonant figure
Rise up

What are you in the eyes of strangers
You are identical to none
Why this disparity of thoughts
When you are identical to none

They want to see it burn
Not deal the final hand
The cleansing ash of others denied
Is on your breath

What should have been said
What should have been done forgotten
What should have been said
What should have been done denied denied

I see a dissonant figure
Rise up

What are you in the eyes of strangers
You are identical to none
Why this disparity of thoughts
When you are identical to none

Borne out of frustration
Of never being seen
The dissonant rise

Why this disparity of thoughts
When you are
Identical to none

What should have been said
What should have been done forgotten forgotten
What should have been said
What should have been done denied denied
What should have been said
What should have been done forgotten forgotten
What should have been said
What should have been done denied denied

What are you in the eyes of strangers
You are identical to none
Why this disparity of thoughts
When you are identical to none

This matters more with time
Than anything I know
This object permanence
Keeps you with me 'til the end
Inconsequential I may be I know
Inside the silence

In truth divided
I have lost myself again
When words are not enough
And time is not the healer
What is gone inside
Has left me here without

This hardened heart resists
I'm left here barely standing
What lies behind the fear
Belies the grand perspective
When I don't want to see it
And I don't want to hear
The world is silent

In truth divided
I have lost myself again
When words are not enough
And time is not the healer
What is gone inside
Has left me here without

Inside the fire
I cannot see
Inside
I cannot find you

In truth divided
I have lost myself again
When words are not enough
And time is not the healer
What is gone inside
Has left me here without

In truth divided
I don't believe
I have lost myself again
This search within
This search within
Has gone inside and left without

It doesn't make it any less real
Once you feel it
Rage with the fire of insight
These are the days that

Favors the emotional, an amplified belief
When effective and unbiased I want my eyes to be
It might be lost and gone to memory belong

It doesn't make it any less real
Once you feel it
Rage with the fire of insight
These are the phantom days

Behind the reason once we nullify intent
Ignorance be just when defeatist minds prevail
In dreams they slip away yet this feeling lingers on

It doesn't make it any less real
Once you feel it
Rage with the fire of insight
These are the phantom days

What remains of indecision determined by resolve
Vicariously through others I see what I can be
It might be lost and gone to memory belong

It doesn't make it any less real
Once you feel it
Rage with the fire of insight
These are the phantom days

In the flicker of a light
In a shadow on the wall
In the reassuring voice
Of apophenia, my friend

I hear signals in the static
I see distant figures calling
And I know it's not to be
Yet let there be revelation

I see movement in every color
I see patterns, I see forms
There is a way to feel affirmed
A way to know for certain
Where answers to our questions
Remain in the unknown

There is a way to feel
A way to know
Where meaning and logic
Remain in the unknown

Apophenia, my friend
In ripples across the water
Our seething minds embrace
The false positive of comfort

To register as nothing
Nothing but willed illusion
I know just what this is
But please, let it be a revelation

I see movement in every color
I see patterns, I see forms
There is a way to feel affirmed
A way to know for certain
Where answers to our questions
Remain in the unknown

There is a way to feel
A way to know
Where meaning and logic
Remain in the unknown

With nothing to break the illusion
To break the spell

Just knowing what this is not
Is enough to dispell the doubting
And give into delusion
Let it be revelation

It gives purpose to the mundane
I see movement in every color
I see patterns, I see forms
There is a way to feel affirmed
A way to know for certain
Where answers to our questions
Remain in the unknown

There is a way to feel
A way to know
Where meaning and logic
Remain in the unknown

Weak within the margins
Of pressure and of time
Rhetoric and language
Show age beyond our years

What inside our failings
Has led us to this point
Left a plan untethered
To ridicule and scorn

Walk in to the fire
Walk in to the storm
Face the wanton ignorance
With silence as a force

Walk into the fire
Walk into the storm
Face the wanton ignorance
With silence as a force

It runs deep
In the evermore eccentric circles
Stay in the apogee
Further from than closer to

The uninformed impatient
Ever closing restless mind
Uninformed impatient
Pace the halls

Walk in to the fire
Walk in to the storm
Face the wanton ignorance
With silence as a force

Walk into the fire
Walk into the storm
Face the wanton ignorance
With silence as a force

We are a force of resistance
A show of true intention
Give it time behind the one-way reflection
A view still in the dark

Walk in to the fire
Walk in to the storm
Face the wanton ignorance
With silence as a force

Walk into the fire
Walk into the storm
Face the wanton ignorance
With silence as a force

Where are we now? Where are we going?
To the ends of our worlds, if not further
Where are we now? Where are we going?
To the other side of right

From wherever I am
I call to you
From wherever I am tonight

We are strangers where we stand
Do I have to be the one to let this go forever
To see what lies unknown?
I don't want to be the one to let this go forever

We are what we can, we can only hope to forget
This distance-created curse
Of silence and waking nights
I thought I could see an end

To do whatever we can
To raise the stakes
To make everything count tonight

We are strangers where we stand
Do I have to be the one to let this go forever
To see what lies unknown?
I don't want to be the one to let this go forever

So this is where we are tonight
We're at a standstill till the end

From wherever I am
I call to you

I call to you
From wherever I am
From whoever I am tonight

We are strangers where we stand
Do I have to be the one to let this go forever
To see what lies unknown?
I don't want to be the one to let this go forever

So this is where we are tonight
There is nowhere to go from here

As the night is closing in
Unresolved and undefined
Denies the need and challenges necessity
Deprivation in a chaos of words
The hours break the sinews of resistance
The endline blurs
Where the impossible and outsized
Never learn to coexist

Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
Not for want alone
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we silence what is never said
How can we scream away the noise

It's burning from the inside out
The restless tries not to remember
This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain
Must remain in the unbroken dark

In stages of infinite time
It lies and it waits
The nerve endings touch
The surface of my dreams
And what seems like life
Stretches out eternally
I took on too much
The hours fled
And I was left here
Stranded in doubt

Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
Not for want alone
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we kill what is never given
How can we scream away the night

It's burning from the inside out
The restless tries not to remember
This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain
Must remain in the unbroken dark

Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we silence what is never said
How can we scream away the noise

It burns on the inside
As I try to not remember
These endless, useless insights
Not for meaning
Not for need
Not for want alone
How can we keep what is never spoken
Here in the unbroken dark

It comes with a dampening force
This information gathered
It brought the momentum
In the perception of time
Raise the fail of distancing
Reveal the depths within
Enter into the primal sphere
As the hours stagnate

It draws you in
Pretender to a force of strength
It draws you in
A vacuum of ideas and thought

We live in different times
As days in relativity extend
We live inside the fires
We travel with the waves
Where one is not the other
And our differences are just the same

It brings into our view
The distance travelled
Pull back what's been gathered
To settle with the pace
What is lost has never been in this
Given to the distant eyes
The more we seem to accumulate
The slower it gets

It pulls you in
The further away we are
It pulls you in
The clearer we now can see

We live in different times
As days in relativity extend
We live inside the fires
We travel with the waves
Where one is not the other
And our differences are just the same

We live in different times
As these days in relativity won't end
We live inside the fires
Where our differences are just the same

It draws you in
It pulls you down

We live in different times
As days in relativity won't end
We live inside the fires
We travel with the waves
Where one is not the other
And our differences are just the same

To a fleeting wealth of knowledge
We stand now idly by
As it crashes and burns far from our grasp

The ages-old dichotomy
Between knowledge and belief
One priori judgement at a time
In judgement defined

In our lifestyle, apathy
So incapable

In only observation and reaction
We free ourselves of history
In opinion and false deception
What feats of our imagining

We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Confirmation biases
Let me go, let me go

We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Resistant, transient
Let me go, let me go

Fall to the depths of desire's reach
At the hands of our own device
Understanding kept at arm's length
With opinions close to the chest

Hurtful, cold, beyond reproach
Resisting to be called
One form of denial at a time
Through judgement defined

In our lawless ignorance
So untouchable

No liberation or deduction
We feed into the narrative
In speculation and reification
You gather up the fallacies

We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Confirmation biases
Let me go, let me go

We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Resistant, transient
Let me go, let me go, let me go

One hit and you walk away
Irredeemable

In only observation and reaction
We free ourselves of history
In opinion and false deception
What feats of our imagining

We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Confirmation biases
Let me go, let me go

We now fail at the hands of our non-control
Resistant, transient
Let me go, let me go, let me go
