Starset - Horizons Album Lyrics

[Instrumental]

Follow me
Follow me now
Once more into the breach
Can you see?
Can you see how this is the way to destiny?

Am I alive?
Am I pretending?
You said I could fly
So go on then
Fill my eyes with fire
I'm a sleeper awakened
I set my sails with desire
And drift to the edge where the fate ends
And fade in

Follow me
Follow me now
Once more into the breach
Can you see?
Can you see how this is the way to destiny?

Crystallized
Under the weight of the nothingness
Calcified
By the end
I am losing hope
We are wonder-made
But we wander the wilderness in violence
I just want to be home with the light again
Take me home

Follow me
Follow me now
Once more into the breach
Can you see?
Can you see how this is the way to destiny?

Follow me
Follow me now
Once more into the breach
Can you see?
Can you see how this is the way to destiny?

Follow me
Follow me now
Once more into the breach
Can you see?
Can you see how this is the way to destiny?

Follow me
Follow me now
Once more into the breach
Can you see?
Can you see how this is the way to destiny?

Otherworld, otherworldly
Otherworld, otherworldly
Otherworld, otherworldly
Otherworld, otherworldly

You're like an angel's song
I'm on my knees waiting for the sound
Stuck in a world gone wrong
So lift me up, I'll never let you down
Light like a brand new day
Surreal and astounding
The site of a mystery
But I'm here on the ground

Bring me to the edge and let me stay
Pull me in, I'll never push away (pull me in, I'll never push away)
Searching for the words that I can say
How it feels when you're with me

Otherworld, otherworldly
Send the light then, I'll be waiting
Otherworld, otherworldly
I come alive when you are with me
Otherworld, otherworldly
Far away from all the mayhem
Otherworld, otherworldly
At the speed of light and beauty

Supernatural
Like an oracle
When darkness starts to call
You'll find me after all
A face that could emanate
A stare like a spotlight
If you guide me into your space
I'll be there at the first light

Otherworld, otherworldly
Send the light then, I'll be waiting
Otherworld, otherworldly
I come alive when you are with me
Otherworld, otherworldly
Far away from all the mayhem
Otherworld, otherworldly
At the speed of light and beauty

I wanna become lucid
Clear, just like a window
I try to hard to open up
And show you what's behind it
But you didn't need to hear me
'Cause you were supraliminal
Knew me without an uttered word
You always seemed to know me
An ethereal feeling
That I cannot describe
The way that I feel you
Something that I cannot hide
How you illuminate
In a profound way, I feel your space
I can't explain this place you're taking me

Otherworld, otherworldly
Send the light then, I'll be waiting
Otherworld, otherworldly
I come alive when you are with me
Otherworld, otherworldly
Far away from all the mayhem
Otherworld, otherworldly
At the speed of light and beauty

(And he told him, "Beware")
(Do not fly too close to the sun)
(The blaze will surely melt those wings)
(But alas, he fell)
(His cries, swallowed by the sea)

(La la la la)
(La la la la, la)

Fell out of the air and you broke your wings
Like you're doing every other time
Made a new pair out of broken things
To give it all another try
And you climb right up to the highest peaks
And reach out to the edge of the world you seek
Afraid of heights so you don't believe
You could ever be good enough

Go on then, Icarus, take your turn
You always fly right up until it burns your wings
You never could change
Always the victim
Into the flames again
Go on then, Icarus, take your turn
You'll never go through them

(La la la la)
(La la la la, la)
(La la la la)
(La la la la, la)

Head in the clouds
Buried your feet in the ground
Telling yourself it's the world that holds you down
But you've got your chin held high
And your chest pumped up
The replica of a runner-up
You were made for skies when she called your bluff
Why you'll never be good enough

Go on then, Icarus, take your turn
You always fly right up until it burns your wings
You never could change
Always the victim
Into the flames again
Go on then, Icarus, take your turn
You'll never go through them

You'll never go through them
You'll never go through them

Fall back down, back down again
You got your head in the clouds, on the ground again
Oh-oh-oh, looking for a scapegoat to hold your feet
Pounding on your chest so you don't feel weak
You fall back down, back down again

Go on then, Icarus, take your turn
You always fly right up until it burns your wings
You never could change
Always the victim
Into the flames again
Go on then, Icarus, take your turn
You'll never go through them

(La la la la)
(La la la la, la)
(La la la la)
(La la la la, la)

I push my feet to the edge
I look and I face my world
And this lonely scene, I take it in
It's hard to say where all of it begins and I end
And I waited for the sky to change but, oh, it never did
And I almost dropped my head and lost my faith
Then I saw you from a distance
You were worlds away
Oh, but you had me from the vision
I never looked away again

I still fall for you like suns do for skies
Cerulean pouring in from your eyes
Just a hollow moon that you colorize
So powerful, I feel so small but so alive
Like watching the earthrise

I walk these streets of loneliness
A tranquil sea on all horizons
This empty scene of might have beens
I stare at starless skies that call to me and I still wish
(I still wish, I still wish, I still wish)

I still fall for you like suns do for skies
Cerulean pouring in from your eyes
Just a hollow moon that you colorize
So powerful, I feel so small but so alive
Like watching the earthrise

They said that we both were too different
That all of the shine would fade away (shine would fade away)
But I wish that I'd never listened
'Cause you pulled me through the gray

I still fall for you like suns do for skies
Cerulean pouring in from your eyes
Just a hollow moon that you colorize
So powerful, I feel so small but so alive
Like watching the earthrise

(Watching these earthrise)

Beautiful, new frontier
High above the rain in the atmosphere
What wonders I have discovered
My soul is everclear
Never felt the way I do with you here
I hope there's never another

So sing tonight
We're everbright
Burning through space, I see your face
I could beat Kryptonite
We're so alive
Forever high
Hold on my dear, there'll be no fear
Leaving this world behind (this world behind)

Far away, above the Earth
We'll soar through the curvature
Away from all our dark matters
And escape the barriers
That we've manufactured
Going into the hereafter

And I'll wait if you take forever long
I'll listen for your song

So sing tonight
We're everbright
Burning through space, I see your face
I could beat Kryptonite
We're so alive
Forever high
Hold on my dear, there'll be no fear
Leaving this world behind

So sing tonight
We're everbright
Burning through stains, I see your face
I could beat Kryptonite
We're so alive
Forever high
Hold on my dear, there'll be no fear
Leaving this world behind (this world behind)

Leaving this world behind
(Leaving this world behind)

(All good things
(Must come to pass)
(Now is your time)

We've been burying the pages
We've been trying to erase this
Built a wall between the truth and us
And it's not enough

We've burned through all the witches
From the paupers to the righteous
In a bubble that will never bust
And it's not enough

Left blind in the darkness
But that's fine 'cause you like it

Sheep becoming wolves and you eat from the paw
So open up and say

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Let's all spoon-feed on our own delusions
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
All I see is a fake revolution
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
The same old things with the same solutions
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
It's anarchy, it's de-evolution

It's de-evolution

There's no wood for the bridges
When the land is too divided
We've been fighting off the undertow
Now we fall below

So open up and take your medicine and say

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Let's all spoon-feed on our own delusions
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
All I see is a fake revolution
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
The same old things with the same solutions
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
It's anarchy, it's de-evolution

De-evolution

(One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, is multiply)
(Therein, let the strongest live, and the weakest die)
(Eventually, a species can become complacent)
(At that point, a de-evolution can occur)
(A spiral downwards, signaling an end for that life form)

You still eat straight from the paw
You still eat straight from the paw

Convoluted lies
It's the end that you prophesize
And it's all pretend
From a bargain Darwin and you're inside the plans
While the Lord Of Flies is opening its maw
And the wolves are taking out their claws

You still eat straight from the paw
You still eat straight from the paw
You still eat straight from the paw

So open up, open up, open up and say

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Let's all spoon-feed on our own delusions
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
All I see is a fake revolution
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
The same old things with the same solutions
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
It's anarchy, it's de-evolution
It's de-evolution

Looking back I don't know how I had missed it before
You secured the armaments, walled off
Ready for war

You let the bombs just float away
One by one
Surprise attack
Why hesitate?
Damage done

It's Armageddon in your mind
You took the first shot every time
There were no prisoners or friends
Now it's the end
Strangers again

It was anarchy with your weaponry
You killed off all that was
Burning everything 'til there was nothing
Brought death down from above
Annihilated love
Annihilated love

There would be no armistice
Battle lines have been drawn
You would give no haven
It's scorched earth, sound the alarms

You firebombed the memories
One by one
Becoming instant enemies
Hit and run

We knew eye for eye would leave us both blind
But I was deaf and dumb
I surrender
I lift the white flag high
But now you're out for blood
Annihilated love
Annihilated love

The tragedy of the war we made
Was that I just couldn't surrender you
The casualty was only ever me
Still I run through the flames for you
Evacuate
I'm a target marked
Bullseye on my broken heart
I amputate
I'm torn apart
And you got what you wanted
You got what you wanted to
Is that what you wanted?

We knew eye for eye would leave us both blind
But I was deaf and dumb
Annihilated love
Annihilated love
Annihilated love
Annihilated love

(I lift my heart as spring lifts up)
(A yellow daisy to the rain)
(My heart will be a lovely cup)
(Although it holds but pain)
(For I shall learn from flower and leaf)
(That color every drop they hold)
(To change the lifeless wine of grief)
(To living gold)

Alchemy, alchemy
Tell me what you've done to me

(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I waited 'til the moon had risen high
Escaped your tide and pull on me
I piloted the labyrinths of lies
Haunted by the hooks in me

And now I'm falling right back into the trap that you set for me
Back inside your spell, I'm back in your sorcery

Alchemy, alchemy
Tell me what you've done to me
Synthesized and transformed
Pathetic lifeform
Alchemy, alchemy
I don't want your drug in me
You get me high 'til I want more
But you hit like chloroform (oh-oh)
You hit like chloroform (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I fell in right for the fantasy
Enchanted by the chemistry
The more that you took the more I see
I'm locked inside a conjuring
I'm just a mannequin stuck
In your plans again
Struck by the trance you put me in
Plant your curse under my skin, it's

Alchemy, alchemy
Tell me what you've done to me
Synthesized and transformed
Pathetic lifeform
Alchemy, alchemy
I don't want your drug in me
You get me high 'til I want more
But you hit like chloroform

(But you hit like chloroform)
(But you hit like chloroform)

I let the beast in you get the best of me
Tossed aside like old debris you don't need
I finally removed the mask you made
So you can't hide the masquerade underneath
(Underneath, underneath, underneath)

And now I'm falling right back into the trap that you set for me
Back inside your spell, I'm back in your sorcery

Alchemy, alchemy
Tell me what you've done to me
Synthesized and transformed
Pathetic lifeform
Alchemy, alchemy
I don't want your drug in me
You get me high 'til I want more
But you hit like chloroform (oh-oh)
You hit like chloroform (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Hey, give me a call)
(Ladies and gentleman
(You're about to be astounded, you're about to be amazed)
(What I am about to show you is not an illusion)
(This is a skill I've learned from the ancient masters of the far east)
(Before your eyes, I will make a person disappear)

So how long, were you numb?
'Cause it was cold as ice
And I keep saying that I'm okay with it
But that's another lie
The truth is I've been dying slowly
But no, not you, you just turned to drift into the night
A parting scene of apathy
In an instant shift to a stone heart paired with empty eyes
That stared right through mine

I did the math but it just don't add up
There's a whole world that used to be us
Now there's an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory

Emptiness but there's still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
Hard to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
I disappear, disappear

All is lost, slipped away
Gone without a trace
I sometimes wonder if it was real because
All that's left seems fake like I'm trapped within a wrong dimension
I tried so hard just to make you feel my pain
If you had empathy you'd see I'd changed
But like a ghost in your presence I dissipate
I tried it all, it's all in vain

Did the math but it just don't add up
There's a whole world that used to be us
Now there's an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory
Emptiness but there's still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
Hard to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
I disappear, disappear

Sometimes I still slip and start to question if it was only in my mind
It's hard to come to grips that you still exist when it feels just like you died
So come one and all, step right up and I'll perform a trick before your eyes
I'll evaporate, gone without a trace, off the radar out of sight

I did the math but it just don't add up
There's a whole world that used to be us
Now there's an echo calling me
Just a shred of memory
Emptiness but there's still a shadow
I catch a glimpse of someone I should know
Hard to tell if you were ever here
I disappear, disappear
I disappear, disappear

I separate
Into the arms of the broken
Accept this fate
Exposed to the world in the open
To drift from all I know

I get lost in the world sometimes
Star-crossed, looking out for a light
But it won't shine
So North Star come and guide me to you
In the wake of my own confines
I will wait for the day you call through the skylines
And I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'm gone without you
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Could it be forever?
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Go on without you
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
This endless endeavor
This endless endeavor

Lonely wade
Out to the depths of an ocean
A castaway
I suffer the death of emotion
Between the waves of woe

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'm gone without you
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Could it be forever?
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Go on without you
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
This endless endeavor

This endless endeavor
This endless endeavor
This endless endeavor

I get lost in her world sometimes
Star-crossed, looking out for a light
But it won't shine
So North Star come, North Star come
In the wake of my own confines
I will wait for the day you call through the skylines
And I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'm gone without you
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Could it be forever?
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Go on without you
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
This endless endeavor
This endless endeavor

Torn into pieces
I was seeking what could bring me back to life
And I swore there were voices saying stop pretending
You will never feel alive and then you came
It was like some synergy had fallen in place
Of everything missing in me

Shine your love, show your light
Pull me out from the endless night
It's something cosmic (something cosmic)
It's symbiotic (it's symbiotic)
Take my hate, take my fight
Take away all the pain I hide
'Cause I can't stop it (I can't stop it)
It's symbiotic (it's symbiotic)

Send me a lifeline
when I don't seem to be finding better days
Lend me your daylight
And when you're trapped inside the rain, I'll do the same

There's something so strange every time you walk away
The energy fades until you come back to me

Shine your love, show your light
Pull me out from the endless night
It's something cosmic (something cosmic)
It's symbiotic (it's symbiotic)
Take my hate, take my fight
Take away all the pain I hide
'Cause I can't stop it (I can't stop it)
It's symbiotic (it's symbiotic)

Symbiotic
Symbiotic

So shine
My ship is adrift in the night
Need the flame only you have inside
When I'm stuck out on the darkest side
Only you reignite me

Shine your love, show your light
Pull me out from the endless night
It's something cosmic
It's symbiotic
Take my hate, take my fight
Take away all the pain I hide
'Cause I can't stop it (I can't stop it)
It's symbiotic (it's symbiotic)

Shine your love, show your light
Pull me out from the endless night
It's something cosmic (something cosmic)
It's symbiotic (it's symbiotic)
Take my hate, take my fight
Take away all the pain I hide
'Cause I can't stop it
It's symbiotic

Symbiotic
Symbiotic
Symbiotic
Symbiotic

Sometime long ago
We dreamed out of windows
Then we grew shields
And walls are all we seek
One time there was hope
It drifts away so slow
In poppy fields
We've all been put to sleep
I won't sleep again

Thunder in my head
But I'm done waiting for rainbows
My slumber won't end
Hiding in the shadows
Living with eyes wide open
Swimming into the light
I follow the path I've chosen
Out where there are dreams alive
I know I can't fix what's broken
If I just pretend to try
I'll follow the path I've chosen
Searching in the endless night
Dreamcatcher

Through this looking glass
I turn and I look back
It's hide-and-seek
I don't know which one's me
Counting sheep again
The plans of mice and men
If I fall asleep
Tell me that you'll wake me
Will you wake me?

Nightmares in my head
They have come back to haunt me
I won't run again
With you there's no worry

Living with eyes wide open
Swimming into the light
I'll follow the path I've chosen
Out where there are dreams alive
I know I can't fix what's broken
If I just pretend to try
I'll follow the path I've chosen
Searching in the endless night
Dreamcatcher

Along the way I started to sleep
And ran from the nightmares inside
But I will not let the shadows in me
Trap me alive
I'm bringing my dark to the light

Living with eyes wide open
Swimming into the light
I'll follow the path I've chosen
Out where there are dreams alive
I know I can't fix what's broken
If I just pretend to try
I'll follow the path I've chosen
Searching in the endless night
Dreamcatcher (Dreamcatcher, dreamcatcher)

Blind, you wouldn't see what's real if it hit your eyes
Lies and fantasies to deal 'cause you're dead inside

So go on, put up defenses
Pretend there's no consequences
But it's just a dog and pony show
Why feel it when you can hide it
Don't look at it just deny it
But I hate to say I told you so

Can you feel the heat come from the gun?
Sending out the truth bombs, ten kiloton
Marching to the beat of oblivion
Hiding behind the web you have spun
Tunnel vision on-on
Tunnel vision on-on
Tunnel vision on-on
Tunnel vision on-on

Gaslight, gaslight flames
Hide the fire of a straw man burning
Close-mind one-side games
From a liar who won't stop subverting

Now you're narrowing your logic
It's blurry and kind of toxic
But you're full of braggadocio
This was something you incited
You opened up and invited
And I hate to say I told you so

You feel the heat come from the gun?
Sending out the truth bombs, ten kiloton
Marching to the beat of oblivion
Hiding behind the web you have spun
Tunnel vision on-on
Tunnel vision on-on
Tunnel vision on-on
Tunnel vision on-on

You took me for a fly
And fancied yourself a spider in a web of little lies
What a nice surprise
When the curtain's pulled back you can see the whole trap inside
But now the emperor has got no clothes
What a lovely show
And your cover's blown you'll never know
'Cause you can't see past your nose

Can you feel the heat come from the gun?
Sending out the truth bombs, ten kiloton
Marching to the beat of oblivion
Hiding behind the web you have spun
Tunnel vision on-on
Tunnel vision on-on
Tunnel vision on-on
Tunnel vision on-on

I think we did it this time
There's something in the air inside the star shine
There's something in the air we'll never know
I can feel it take hold
Infected

They're calling on the landlines
The senators are standing on the shorelines
The warning lights are burning all aglow
Now we reap what we sow
Infected

We do it one by one
Put your hands up and run
We're addicted to the panic
And we hate the way this world has become
But there ain't no cure for it
We've been infected
Infected, infected
Infected, infected
Infected, infected
Infected, infected

Here's a challenge for all mankind
The preacher man is warning of the end times
The weatherman agrees but he don't know
So he's got to go now

We do it one by one
Put your hands up and run
We're addicted to the panic
And we hate the way this world has become
But there ain't no cure for it
We've been infected
Infected, infected
Infected, infected
Infected, infected
Infected, infected

One if by land and two if by sea
Maybe it's both and we'll all get lucky
Go to the end, man. Don't quit on me
Get what you wanted
Anarchy

One by one
Put your hands up and run
We're addicted to the panic
And we hate the way this world has become
But there ain't no cure for it
We've been infected
Infected, infected
Infected, infected
Infected, infected
Infected, infected

Loving
Hating
Hoping
Taking

I've been digging through the dirt that was left behind
I've been dredging through the mud for it
There's nothing that's alive or dead inside
In you or in this

The crucifix in my hand's a lie
'Cause nothing ever kills you
I watered down the pain 'til the well went dry
So pray for rain

And it gnawed
Rose to the top again
Back like a long-lost friend
A wretch that I can't defend
Oh my God
Is this where the dreamer ends?
Dark where the light had been
Lost at the war within

And it clawed
Back in the world again
Here for a new revenge
An enemy I can't condemn
Oh my God
Is this where the liar ends?
Dark where the light had been
Lost at the war within

Out of myself, I can feel it crawling
How can I tell if this is the ending?
Out of myself, it began evolving
I am not well, repent I'm guilty
How can I tell if the sky is falling?
How can I fix what there is no mending?
How can I tell if I am not well?
I've lost myself
I have come undone

And all of the horses
And all of the men
Won't put it back in place
Or bury it where it had been
When all of the forces
Have been overrun
You'll whisper, serpent tongue
What you fear you have become

Something wicked this way comes
Something wicked this way comes
