Petals And Thorns
The Maid And The Blacksmith 10.31.2020 Lyrics |
1. Digital Religion
Deep within the hive we're crawling
Killing curiosities
Swarming in the flames we're drawn to
Blind to everything we see
We've become the apparitions
Haunting all of your decisions
The worms in your head
Underneath your bed
Lost in a digital religion
Underneath our graves we're turning
Buried animosities
Rotting in the holes they've dug us
Death of creativity
We've become the apparitions
Haunting all of your decisions
The worms in your head
Underneath your bed
Lost in a digital religion
We've become the apparitions
Haunting all of your decisions
The worms in your head
Underneath your bed
Lost in a digital religion
Deep within the hive we're crawling
Killing curiosities
Swarming in the flames we're drawn to
Blind to everything we see
We've become the apparitions
Haunting all of your decisions
The worms in your head
Underneath your bed
Lost in a digital religion
Underneath our graves we're turning
Buried animosities
Rotting in the holes they've dug us
Death of creativity
We've become the apparitions
Haunting all of your decisions
The worms in your head
Underneath your bed
Lost in a digital religion
We've become the apparitions
Haunting all of your decisions
The worms in your head
Underneath your bed
Lost in a digital religion
2. Through The Shadows
Told to grind it out
Down on your hands and knees
You can't walk out
Hear your internal screams
Your broken dreams
You step into the night
To find your shadows cast from light inside you
Daylight breaks we fake our way
Mediocre fools we stay
Same mundane routine to do
We're pushing through without a clue
Inside our lives
Is it real
If we never see the
Inside our minds
Is it real If we never see the
Time is running out
Reality from dreams
Can't figure out
It's harder than it seems
We're not machines
You look into the light
To find your shadow is cast right beside you
Moonlight wakes we play with fate
Foreshadowed dreams that we create
True breakthrough, they've locked the door
We're searching for so much more
Inside our lives
Is it real if we never see the
Inside our minds
Is it real if we never see the
Dream inside, truth defines
The light from all the shadows
Dream inside, truth and lies
The light shines through the shadows
The world has caught on fire
We're burned by our desires
This isn't how it should be
Will we ever see
Told to grind it out
Down on your hands and knees
You can't walk out
Hear your internal screams
Your broken dreams
You step into the night
To find your shadows cast from light inside you
Daylight breaks we fake our way
Mediocre fools we stay
Same mundane routine to do
We're pushing through without a clue
Inside our lives
Is it real
If we never see the
Inside our minds
Is it real If we never see the
Time is running out
Reality from dreams
Can't figure out
It's harder than it seems
We're not machines
You look into the light
To find your shadow is cast right beside you
Moonlight wakes we play with fate
Foreshadowed dreams that we create
True breakthrough, they've locked the door
We're searching for so much more
Inside our lives
Is it real if we never see the
Inside our minds
Is it real if we never see the
Dream inside, truth defines
The light from all the shadows
Dream inside, truth and lies
The light shines through the shadows
The world has caught on fire
We're burned by our desires
This isn't how it should be
Will we ever see
3. Echo Chamber
According to your status quo
You see us as you're looking down
Everyone that you know
Gives you praise for your crooked crown
Lies you told
No one knows
You won't be alone, surrounded by echoes
They say what you want to hear
There is no rejection when no one knows
Living your deepest fear
Your lies are the only proof
Your reality, too much to wager
You're dying to tell the truth
When you're trapped in the echo chamber
Going down with the flow
But we're searching for higher ground
The sheep will never know
That their shepherd would let them drown
Lies you sold
No one knows
You won't be alone, surrounded by echoes
They say what you want to hear
There is no rejection when no one knows
Living your deepest fear
Your lies are the only proof
Your reality, too much to wager
Your dying to tell the truth
When you're trapped in the echo chamber
Can't get out you're trapped in the echo chamber
According to your status quo
You see us as you're looking down
Everyone that you know
Gives you praise for your crooked crown
Lies you told
No one knows
You won't be alone, surrounded by echoes
They say what you want to hear
There is no rejection when no one knows
Living your deepest fear
Your lies are the only proof
Your reality, too much to wager
You're dying to tell the truth
When you're trapped in the echo chamber
Going down with the flow
But we're searching for higher ground
The sheep will never know
That their shepherd would let them drown
Lies you sold
No one knows
You won't be alone, surrounded by echoes
They say what you want to hear
There is no rejection when no one knows
Living your deepest fear
Your lies are the only proof
Your reality, too much to wager
Your dying to tell the truth
When you're trapped in the echo chamber
Can't get out you're trapped in the echo chamber
4. Your Crooked Kingdom
Everyday they find a way
Sterilizing culture
Every night leads us astray
Bones picked clean by vultures
Riddles from another time
I embrace their meaning
Echoing inside my mind
As the world is bleeding
We are breaking
What's left undone
Into nothing
Your crooked kingdom
Whisper doubt into my ears
I will never hear you
Frightened by your darkest fears
The sleepers will betray you
Glorify the things we hate
Peel back your broken soul
In the tower of deceit
Programmed only to control
We are breaking
What's left undone
Into nothing
Your crooked kingdom
Everyday they find a way
Sterilizing culture
Every night leads us astray
Bones picked clean by vultures
Riddles from another time
I embrace their meaning
Echoing inside my mind
As the world is bleeding
We are breaking
What's left undone
Into nothing
Your crooked kingdom
Whisper doubt into my ears
I will never hear you
Frightened by your darkest fears
The sleepers will betray you
Glorify the things we hate
Peel back your broken soul
In the tower of deceit
Programmed only to control
We are breaking
What's left undone
Into nothing
Your crooked kingdom
5. Lost In A Dream
Step right up now sit back down
You got enough to deal with now
You gotta wait until
Both get off the ground
It's overrated as a weapon
It will tear you down
When you can't get out you've lost control
When you can't get out then you'll know
You can't climb your way out from this hole
When you can't get out on your own
You've gone too deep
Lost in a dream
Too deep
Lost in a dream
You've gone too
Small distractions pull you in
You cannot stop yourself from digging in
But the dirt beneath you's caving in
Before you know it you'll fall further in
When you can't get out you've lost control
When you can't get out then you'll know
You can't climb your way out from this hole
When you can't get out on your own
You've gone too deep
Lost in a dream
Too deep
Lost in a dream
You've gone too
One wrong step your falling down
How long before you hit the ground
Is all you think about
While you scream out loud
We're at the bottom of the countdown
What happens now
When you can't get out you've lost control
When you can't get out then you'll know
You better pray that you'll be saved one day
When you can't get out on your own
You've gone too deep
Lost in a dream
Too deep
Lost in a dream
You've gone too
Step right up now sit back down
You got enough to deal with now
You gotta wait until
Both get off the ground
It's overrated as a weapon
It will tear you down
When you can't get out you've lost control
When you can't get out then you'll know
You can't climb your way out from this hole
When you can't get out on your own
You've gone too deep
Lost in a dream
Too deep
Lost in a dream
You've gone too
Small distractions pull you in
You cannot stop yourself from digging in
But the dirt beneath you's caving in
Before you know it you'll fall further in
When you can't get out you've lost control
When you can't get out then you'll know
You can't climb your way out from this hole
When you can't get out on your own
You've gone too deep
Lost in a dream
Too deep
Lost in a dream
You've gone too
One wrong step your falling down
How long before you hit the ground
Is all you think about
While you scream out loud
We're at the bottom of the countdown
What happens now
When you can't get out you've lost control
When you can't get out then you'll know
You better pray that you'll be saved one day
When you can't get out on your own
You've gone too deep
Lost in a dream
Too deep
Lost in a dream
You've gone too
6. Cruel By Design
You live your life unaware of
What's happened
To you
You can't escape from the cage
you're in
Chained down like
A slave to your pain
You're cruel by design
Programmed to hate
You can't change your fate, No
You're cruel by design
No love in your heart
Ignoring the signs as your world falls apart
Deceive, believe, you make us bleed for you
Now your burning in your empty hell
I see the way that you, think the world is yours
You only end up lying to yourself
You can't see the big picture
Right in front
Of you
Your tunnel vision won't see the truth
Falling down
The hole you've dug yourself
You're cruel by design
Programmed to hate
You can't change your fate, No
You're cruel by design
No love in your heart
Ignoring the signs as your world falls apart
Deceive, believe, you make us bleed for you
Now your burning in your empty hell
I see the way that you, think the world is yours
You only end up lying to yourself
You live your life unaware of
What's happened
To you
You can't escape from the cage
you're in
Chained down like
A slave to your pain
You're cruel by design
Programmed to hate
You can't change your fate, No
You're cruel by design
No love in your heart
Ignoring the signs as your world falls apart
Deceive, believe, you make us bleed for you
Now your burning in your empty hell
I see the way that you, think the world is yours
You only end up lying to yourself
You live your life unaware of
What's happened
To you
You can't escape from the cage
you're in
Chained down like
A slave to your pain
You're cruel by design
Programmed to hate
You can't change your fate, No
You're cruel by design
No love in your heart
Ignoring the signs as your world falls apart
Deceive, believe, you make us bleed for you
Now your burning in your empty hell
I see the way that you, think the world is yours
You only end up lying to yourself
You can't see the big picture
Right in front
Of you
Your tunnel vision won't see the truth
Falling down
The hole you've dug yourself
You're cruel by design
Programmed to hate
You can't change your fate, No
You're cruel by design
No love in your heart
Ignoring the signs as your world falls apart
Deceive, believe, you make us bleed for you
Now your burning in your empty hell

You only end up lying to yourself
You live your life unaware of
What's happened
To you
You can't escape from the cage

Chained down like
A slave to your pain
You're cruel by design
Programmed to hate

You're cruel by design
No love in your heart
Ignoring the signs as your world falls apart
Deceive, believe, you make us bleed for you
Now your burning in your empty hell
I see the way that you, think the world is yours
You only end up lying to yourself
7. Behind The Curtain
Now it follows me
Chasing me through the moonlit night
And it's haunting me
Beyond what is wrong or right
Always taunting me
Taking away what matters most
Then it swallows me
Fading away like a ghost
Follow what's inside your heart
Free yourself and find your part
Break out of the chains that bind you
The truth is hidden deep inside you
We're all just characters
Acting on a stage
In our own world, behind the curtain
We see the roles we play
Now it calls for me
Pulling me closer to my grave
It has chosen me
This creature you cannot save
And it's broken me
I'm living in a bad dream
Burden falls on me
Wishing things aren't what they seem
Follow what's inside your heart
Free yourself and find your part
Break out of the chains that bind you
The truth hidden deep inside you
We're all just characters
Acting on a stage
In our own world, behind the curtain
We changed the roles we play
Now it follows me
Chasing me through the moonlit night
And it's haunting me
Beyond what is wrong or right
Always taunting me
Taking away what matters most
Then it swallows me
Fading away like a ghost
Follow what's inside your heart
Free yourself and find your part
Break out of the chains that bind you
The truth is hidden deep inside you
We're all just characters
Acting on a stage
In our own world, behind the curtain
We see the roles we play
Now it calls for me
Pulling me closer to my grave
It has chosen me
This creature you cannot save
And it's broken me
I'm living in a bad dream
Burden falls on me
Wishing things aren't what they seem
Follow what's inside your heart
Free yourself and find your part
Break out of the chains that bind you
The truth hidden deep inside you
We're all just characters
Acting on a stage
In our own world, behind the curtain
We changed the roles we play
8. Burning Within
Into the nightfall, darkest moment of all
I will light the way forward
I decide to rise above what lies before me
Ashes of destiny
Burning within, darkness that came before
Light the fire and transform
Burning within, freedom is now restored
Through the fire I'm reborn
Within a nightmare, the omen of despair
I will find the paths unfound
I decide to light the vital spark inside me
Ashes of tragedy
Burning within, darkness that came before
Light the fire and transform
Burning within, freedom is now restored
Through the fire I'm reborn
I decide to rise above what lies before me
Ashes of destiny
Burning within, darkness that came before
Light the fire and transform
Burning within, freedom is now restored
Through the fire I'm reborn
Burning within, darkness that came before
Light the fire and transform
Burning within, freedom is now restored
Through the fire I'm reborn
Into the nightfall, darkest moment of all
I will light the way forward
I decide to rise above what lies before me
Ashes of destiny
Burning within, darkness that came before
Light the fire and transform
Burning within, freedom is now restored
Through the fire I'm reborn
Within a nightmare, the omen of despair
I will find the paths unfound
I decide to light the vital spark inside me
Ashes of tragedy
Burning within, darkness that came before
Light the fire and transform
Burning within, freedom is now restored
Through the fire I'm reborn
I decide to rise above what lies before me
Ashes of destiny
Burning within, darkness that came before
Light the fire and transform
Burning within, freedom is now restored
Through the fire I'm reborn
Burning within, darkness that came before
Light the fire and transform
Burning within, freedom is now restored
Through the fire I'm reborn
