Lyrics

It may feel like its too much to handle,
But its not time yet.
Your body operates, automatic,
Like a breathless engine,
It shines in the swimming haze and heat.
While your mind,
Like a swarm of insects in a gust of wind,
Crumbles and reassembles,
Forgetting its original, innocent form.

No, its not the time.
Dont let your frantic mind
Run you away
From me.
No no no, its not the time
Youll be alright
Dont let your frantic mind

In our oldest, wisest years
Well laugh,
Looking back
At our losses.
Yours, the self-control you longed to
Trust,
Mine, any adequate words to dissolve the
Mounting Pressure Moment.
And in our tissue-paper skin,
Well mock the frailties of youth.
And cherish the steel-solid minds
We acquired in time.

No, its not the time.
Dont let your frantic mind
Run you away
From me.
No no no, its not the time
Youll be alright
Dont let your frantic mind


I know life starts in slow motion
And ends in a fast-forward-flash,
When all you want to do is rewind
So you can relive
Those days we spent
Never wondering about how it all will end
Remember the languid, mesmerizing
Hours we spent, spellbound,
Dreaming of the life we lead
Now?
Dont be disillusioned
Dreams and reality may
Never synchronize
But someday, well get away
With a perfect day
And well laugh,
Looking back.

The machine hums to the whine
Of the cloud, the swarm
No louder than before
When did it become
The anthem of impending tragedy?
A maddening melody building
In shrill intensity?
Maybe its just a new song to sing us to sleep
Its not going to end the way you think

[ilovenodoka]

Just gona put this out there; cant something be more than one genre? JW

Maseratiquattroport probs is right, melodic death metal has a certain melodic feel to it like sonic syndicate has parts that you feel moved by the song not the instuments might just be how awesom they are but hey, this sorta has a; for lack of a better word, thrashy metal feel.

I wasn't trolling first of all friend. the fact that you reference wikipedia as your evidence makes you ignorant. you may be the host of this site, but you sure don't know much about this group. thank you for pretending to know. LOL@REFERENCING LAST.FM AS WELL. its amazing what kids think they know these days without even being in the music industry.

@androooww I agree, but I also love that these guys have a good bit of old school thrash in their sound too.
