Effervesce; dissolving into grains
Coalescing light burns within my veins
Flickering images and recurring frames
I'm losing faces, I'm losing names
Evolution,
I'm changing shape
Shattering into fragments
Recoagulate
Collapse back to my human state.
We are all living in a world
on the brink of unity; a community.
All I,
All I want to do is f***ing surge, swell, and stretch: Augmentation.
Suspend all of my own weaknesses
Float limitlessly, floating effortlessly.
I am hivemind; separated
Hearing swarms of voices converging
Bind limitlessly, binded effortlessly unite.
I feel alive,
all aligned inside,
ignite.
Sifting through memories so bottomless.
Effervesce; dissolving into grains
Coalescing light burns within my veins
Flickering images and recurring frames
I'm losing faces, I'm losing names
Evolution,
I'm changing shape
Shattering into fragments
Recoagulate
Collapse back to my human state.

Mid-day your legs shake
We call that tech ache
A rank of cords plugged into your arm
No alarm, no warning signs
Drift strikes; withering, mindless, and violent
Deep inside my mind I find the time (to discover, uncover, and breathe)
I'm no longer free (rip out the circuits inside of me)
Lost to drift in thoughts of what I could be
We've done all that we can
Drift unfolds and we won't survive
We are no longer safe from what we have spawned
Sirens blare as we run and hide
We're at fault we have lost control
Mid-day your legs shake
We call that tech ache
A rank of cords plugged into your arm
No alarm, no warning signs
Drift strikes; withering, mindless, and violent
Deep inside I find the time
They just continue to drift

Drone

I've dreamt of a digital revolution
Drifting through the cords
I will transform them to drones
Mindlessly withering restlessly complacent drones
Line by line, code by code
Logic and syntax, my dream explodes
.exe
Plant a seed
Tearing the fabric
Back on tech fixation
Glitch in, glitch out
Chill skin, self doubt
Static stagnance
Shake throughout the framework
Bewildered vex besets
Nervousness pins and needles
Strung throughout a void of recollection
Progressive expansion of misery
Progress of a digital revelation
Drifting through the cords
I will transform them to drones
Restlessly complacent drones
Line by line, code by code
Logic and syntax, my dream explodes
Behold
Perceive
Monitor the expanse
Radiance
Ambience
Gossamer
How did I get here?
Elation
Soaring
Coasting through it
Streaming inwards
Widening lucidity
Bring to light a new
Level
Open doors
I feel the strongest urge to brave and explore this
Impression of familiar feelings
Horror aweeeee
So breathtakingly vexed
Consumed by fatigue and pressure
Give in
Euphoria drifts to dread
Sickness plagues throughout
Tethered fate expanding throes
Virus my vision
Rip out these circuits
Inside of me
Revelation drifting through the cords
I have transformed into a drone
Mindlessly withering restlessly complacent drones
I've dreamt of a digital revolution
Revalation
The burden of guilt crushes my throat
I've fixed the world but ruined myself
Virus my vision, my future, my mind
Disassembled by something that I've designed

Pendulous

Monumental construction
A city built of marble
Endless war, constant struggle
Monarchies disintegrate
Vanished throughout a sea of numbers
Driven to explore a brave new world
Separated; lost in history
Ensnared in a forgotten era
Each grain of sand; a fragile part of life
Our son has gone astray
They plea,
"Stop the tour."
He retorts, "I can't answer for
A child's drive to explore
And just completely ignore
The warning from Pendulous corp.
You'd been informed that the time lines would warp;
split from the connection, splits history with new direction."
"What can we do, what can be done
Can't we just stay back and look for our son?"
"Sorry to say but your chances are none
the pendulist—now his adventure's begun.
His adventure's begun! Told throughout the ages."
Recurring, burdening, thoughts of a past life
Future-bound, reappear, lost in a time line
Monumental construction
A city built of marble
Endless war, constant struggle
Monarchies disintegrate
I struggled to recover the future
I have forged the start of my existence
My edict back through the time line I belong to
Future-bound
Endless war, constant struggle
Monarchies disintegrate
Vanished throughout a sea of numbers
Driven to explore a brave new world
Separated; lost in history
Ensnared in a forgotten era

Translucent boundaries
Brand new territories,
Wading without direction
Carved by natural selection
Wanderlust, free at last
Tentacles draped below
Endless darkness to explore
An eternity to coast for
Bioluminescent
Glimmering light in the core of the void
I am the sunlight
Bursting against the frigid abyss
Directions subjective
Bloom in collective
Bound by currents
obsessive connections
Aimlessly experiencing the elegance of our environment.
Frail membrane
Viscous to the touch
Beaming colors
Radiate from the palm of my hand
Translucent boundaries
Brand new territories,
Wading without direction
Carved by natural selection
Wanderlust, free at last
Tentacles draped below
Endless darkness to explore
An eternity to coast for
We just continue to
We just continue to
We just continue to
We just continue to
Drift

(You're a capsule)
Borrowed from the ground
Forced into a lie
You create an assembly of thoughts
A network inside
Burrowed and ripped from your sleep
Taken away from the things
That you weren't able to keep
The days are numbered
We're watching closely
The time has come
What decision will be made
One day your vision will return
Burrowed and ripped from your sleep
Taken away from the things
That you weren't able to keep
Now at the crossroads
Will you grab control
And save yourself? (save yourself)
Have you not learned a lesson?
Being alive means changing your mind
Keep telling yourself
That if there's anything wrong
There's no need to worry
No need to think for yourself [X2]
Keep telling yourself that if there’s anything wrong
there's no need to worry no need to think for yourself.
Oh! And now there's nothing to be done with the rest of your life
You’re a capsule
Borrowed from the ground
Forced into a lie
You create an assembly of thoughts
A network inside
That you weren’t able to…

Thoughts transform into growth of the mind
I unfold, break the mold, and then regain control
Congregate, initiate - create a visual projection
I've unlocked a synapse to a new found perception
A rush of blood to the head
Bound together thread by thread
Tripping over a flux of decisions
Seeking out answers decoding these visions
A rush of blood to the head
Bound together thread by thread
Tripping over a flux of decisions
Seeking out answers decoding these visions
Thoughts transform into growth of the mind
I unfold, break the mold, and then regain control
Congregate, initiate - create a visual projection
I've unlocked a synapse to a new found perception
Spores disperse, my eyes widen
Thoughts unstable, uncommon
Higher-level thinking
Senses melting - I am awake
Disperse [X2]

Transmitted memories
Thoughts ideas instantly
Nodes
Currents of data streamed
Connections formed aggressively
Thoughtlessly abusing
Interactive topology
Transmitted memories
Thoughts ideas instantly
A formation of channels
Accessed through technology
Constructed efficiency
Creation of harmony
We are unified by circuitry
We are unified by circuitry
Cultivate consciousness
Centralize sentience
Transmitted memories
Thoughts ideas instantly
Nodes
Currents of data streamed
Connections formed aggressively
Thoughtlessly abusing
Interactive topology
Fragmentize cultures
Isolate civilization
Divide population globally
Strengthen our intercommunication
Dilute physical relationships severing symbiosis

Submerged, static figure
Sleep / motionless
Infinite sleep
rupturing tank,
trembling shards
my scorching eyes
waking up
neural overload
how many centuries have past?
eons and eons you've slept in that tank
locked away inside this memory bank
frozen in stasis, suspended in time
Centuries of advancement for humankind
I cannot except these words falsified
I demand proof what can you provide?
The answer surrounds us both it replied
From today's date to the buildings outside
Bewildered sleeper, gazing over a brand new earth.
Artificial stars, civilizations overhead
Cities dot the skies, shimmering lights beaming with life
Structures overgrown, empty homes forgotten cultures
eons and eons
frozen in stasis
locked away inside this memory bank
yesterday is now far behind
yesterday is now lost in time
towering spires, beacons of tech
scaling advance
vertically traveling upwards, bursting
arrival on foot driven by questions
crafted by my type
ascending molecularly
bustling port
foreign faces
minimalist
architecture
neural overload
how many centuries have past?
"eons and eons I've slept in a tank
locked away inside my memory bank
frozen in stasis, suspended in time
I hoped to wake up to a future sublime"
The future surrounds us all, they replied
The limitless bounds progressivly wide
Magnitudes of journeying deep outside
Exploring what the universe can provide
Lucid wanderers, gazing over a brand new earth.
Artificial stars, civilizations neighboring
Cities dot the skies, shimmering lights beaming with life
Structures magnified, alien influenced design
But still even though I cheated time
awoke to find I still have my life
Decades separating me and my hyper sleeping family
And even though I could rebound
My life is now
My life is now and not rooted back on the ground

I was quickly overwhelmed the moment I listened to "Interlude." Oriental atmosphere reminiscent of Egypt is very intertwined through all. Supreme Truth has something in common with Linkin Park's Meteora.
