In the shallows
Hear the whispers
We walk with covered eyes
Toll of sorrows
Bleed the burrows
To reach the other side

We’ve held this up for a long time
It all faded into grey lines
And we all bleed for the same crimes in this life

Stumble in the darkness
The senses tell no lies
Words live ephemeral
Fading into the mind

We’ve held this up for a long time
It all faded into grey lines
And we all bleed for the same crimes in this life

Break down the illusion
A sound from under the floor
We are ephemeral
Hear the knock at the door

BURY THEM ALIVE
BURY THEM ALIVE

Feel the rush of panic
The senses tell no lies
Bleeding under the bruise
BURY US ALIVE

We’ve held this up for a long time
It all faded into grey lines
And we all bleed for the same crimes in this life

End:
BURY US ALIVE
SEE WHAT YOU WILL FIND




Behind the Song:
ACT I: The Realization of Decay and Control
Tracks: “Cycles”, 'Shallows', 'Grave'

The opening is the beginning of a societal unraveling 'We kept this up for a long time' suggests a prolonged participation in a system that's now eroding.

'Shallows' introduces metaphors of blindness, buried truth, and collective guilt. The repeated refrain 'We all bleed for the same crimes' suggests shared complicity in a broken world.
