Through the crowd we gently fall,
Faces like caricatures of broken dreams, of broken hearts.
This desperate longing rises within me,
its hands tight around my neck.
Around my neck.
It’s just that I falter often.
It’s not resolve, but escape I’m after.
And the way that this is drowning. That this is giving up
On everything I’ve worked so hard to keep.
So hard to keep.
These lights, the way they illuminate the gentle valleys of your figure as you stagger across the room. In the slow motion picture of our final waltz you look like the specter I saw by my deathbed.
Grab my hand, let’s sleep forever.
The air feels thin.
The weightlessness astounds me.
My worries evanesce with the coming of the tide.
It swallows up all of this hate,
And I feel euphoric enough to fade.
To fade away.
Away.
Away.
Away.
From the edge of the cliff,
I’ll look back at my wasted life
And laugh as I jump.
Construct is a more chaotic sequel to Archivist that continues the original and epic scifi story with a really interesting shift in the arc. The cover art shows the progression elegantly. This entire discography is a must have.

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
