Lyrics:

1. Leaking Fate (Keiper)

Leak through the eye. Make me feel like I am relevant. Swell precious lines. Let me melt into this skin again. I swear I barely recognize these faces. Well I guess you've been away too long my man. Spots replaced before you stand. Spinning access to you. Remember what it's like to feel new. All this promised in the trance. Switch it out with just one glance. Come live with me. Witness the trigger. Cover these soft warm lips. Eclipsed by a dagger of light. Leak through the eye. Make me feel like I am relevant. Swell precious lines. Let me melt into this skin again. It swears it never needs to occupy the golden seat. You speak so highly of this plan. Slips inside and takes the hand. Body idles slowly, as a sea of heads hang low. We promised that you'd have your chance. Welcome to deliverance. Come live with me. Witness the trigger. Cover these soft warm lips. Eclipsed by a dagger of light. Leaking fate. Leaking fate. Climb into your worthless face. Now low it seems. New we'll be. Leap of faith. Leap of faith. Look at all the lost I saved. Been gone for days. Gone for days. Come live with me. Witness the trigger. Cover those soft warm lips. Eclipsed by a dagger of light. leak through the eye. Make me feel like I am relevant. Swell precious lines. Let me melt into this skin again. Leak through the eye. Make me feel like I am relevant. Swell previous lines. Let me melt into this skin again. Leak in. Leak in. Live in me. Witness. Live in me. Witness. Leak through the eye. Again. Again, again, again. Leak in. Leak in.

2. Contorting (Keiper)

I wonder where you've been. Reflecting off this nothing. Contorting. Evolving. Before me. Before me. Where does the conscience end? Just split it into something. We're roaming. It's calling before me. Before me. We see the outer rims collide. Collect the info that's inside. Please tell us the little secret. All the zones are frayed and depleted. Send help, we all fucking need it. All the zones are frayed and depleted. Part of. All knowing. It's coming. It's showing. Before me. Before me. I wonder where you've been. Reflecting into.

3. After (Keiper)

Slide on past the uncut sun. I don't see you in anyone. Outside of this there isn't some majestic scene. We all just run through the void of the time. Rest in this. Loveless. Slide on past the uncut sun. Don't see you in anyone. Outside this there isn't some majestic scene. We all just run through the void of the time. Rest in this. Loveless. I'm beaming. Necessity is light. I'm beaming. Purifying life. I'm beaming. You cannot choose your fight. I'm beaming. This secret gift of... This secret gift of... I'm beaming. The knot's tied. She's coming. Widow spin your lace around me. Float me all across this ground. Feed me empathy, it's what I need. I can't accept this realm. What is gone is gone forever, but you say it can be found. It's a waste of time to not believe when you see it all around. The meaning. None of this was right. The meaning. Disgusted at the sight. The meaning. Do sins of sins combined? The meaning. Please just put your... Please just put your lace around me. Float me all across this ground. Feed me empathy, it's what I need. I can't accept this realm. What is gone is gone forever, but you say it can be found. It's a waste of time to not believe when you see it all around. Loveless. You've taken what was mine. Nonsense displayed in empty shrines. Loveless. Skies will intertwine. Nonsense. The cruelest tricks your... The cruelest tricks your... I'm beaming. The knot's tied. She's coming. Widow spin your lace around me. Float me all across this ground. Feed me empathy, it's what I need. I can't accept this realm. What is gone is gone forever, but you say it can be found. It's a waste of time to not believe. Now see it all around.

4. Spin It (Keiper)

Do you wanna be healed? Fix your sight on me. Wander into the middle of where you shouldn't be. Thoughts travel faster when they are the need. Let's shake about it. Already gone. No need. Concerned with the mystics. Understand the ballistics. We're surrounded by wicked, yet the light that you promise infects us like sickness. Beg for forgiveness. Bodies are free. A physical business. We are the new ancient tomb. Crack that thing open there is nothing new. I lived enough. I am a savage. File is corrupt. Still carry your baggage. Oh, let it go, I'm insisting. Pleasures unknown. A beautiful mystery. 'Bout to leave anytime. Gone. Who's left to fill these needs, give us all our wants? Lean into the land, try and save my face. I think they have set a limit on this place. Spin it one more time. Spin it. Spin it. All of this is surreal. Lay atop this peak. Revelation is near. Sweet release. These powers sadistic. Up and down this is tricky. Whatever is missing will not be found in this moment of history. Consequences forgive me, for we do not share unless you are with me. Ground shakes as the wind breathes. Ashes they twirl, spinning at my feet. I lived enough. I am a savage. File is corrupt. Still carrying baggage. Oh, let it go, I'm insisting. Pleasures unknown. A beautiful mystery. 'Bout to leave anytime. Gone. Who's left to fill these needs, give us all our wants? Lean into the land, try and save my face. I think they have set a limit on this place. Spin it one more time. So concerned with the mystics. Wasting time while they spin it, spin it. Serving the sentence. Building up the walls. Spin it. Spin it. I blame weakness. Endless love. Spin it. Spin it. Burning question: Why do you get to breathe? He wasn't finished. You can leave anytime. Be gone. Who's left to fill the needs, give them all their wants? Lean into the land, try and save your face. I think they have set a limit on this place. Spin it one more time.
