lyrics

I'm lost
absorbed in this nightmare
but there's no waking up;
this is how we live

alone
we can barely stand
we don't
know how to stay in
control
fearing every lie that
my own
mind will create

the fabrication of
a reality that is
truly non existent
but nonetheless is
still a prominent
fear as my reality
is defined in
my own mind

i know my reactions are
unfounded
these overwhelming feelings are
insane
but the rules that my mind has
created
they govern my response at

an unconscious level
rendering
any intellectual control
entirely powerless
leaving nothing but
primal instinct in
these situations

as my vision subsides
i make an attempt to regain self control
but what is not lost cannot be gained
such is the nature of fear

and as the realization begins to come to light
the line between reality and thought begins to fade
causing a toxic mix of misfortune
loss of self control and fear

I'm lost
absorbed in this nightmare
but there's no waking up;
this is how we live

alone
we can barely stand
we don't
know how to stay in
control
fearing every lie that
my own
mind will create

the fabrication of
a reality that is
truly non existent
but nonetheless is
still a prominent
fear as my reality
is defined in
my own mind

as i look at my reflection
i see myself morph
and feel sanity
release
the grip that kept me up
sent falling down in to
the depths of space and time

to a place that cant be real
i wont accept that my existence
is now bound to this dead place
one of unwanted self reflection
explain to me control
from the outside looking in

as my vision subsides
i make an attempt to regain self control
but what is not lost cannot be gained
such is the nature of fear

and as the realization begins to come to light
the line between reality and thought begins to fade
causing a toxic mix of misfortune
loss of self control and fear

Orange Mathematics

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
