The Disaffected

One day I will smash right through the glass
In hope that I will find
Fragments of the truth with which to slice
Through distractions that bind
Look to left and right and see those who
Have signed away their eyes
Information tidal wave and you
You drown in disguise
Give thanks to all your gods
Give thanks to all your gods
Give thanks to all your gods
Give thanks to all your gods
Give thanks to all your gods
Give thanks to all your gods
Give thanks to all your gods
Give thanks to all your gods
So try to break through, to see
But the surface just gives way to nothing
Why are we
Imprisoned in our heads?
These lies divide
And they lead us to our disaffection
Somewhere inside
I know there's something burning still
We are only here to help
Distract you from yourself
There's so much to take in
So come back again and again
You have nothing to fear
Just keep your eyes right here
For we are always near
So now that we're clear, just give thanks to your gods
Give thanks to your gods

You Will Know My Name

Have you looked into yourself?
Ever cared about someone else?
Do you seek meaning from life?
Can you carry on this lie?
Life has one purpose for me
And that purpose is to be seen
Taken in by the eyes of green
To be seen, to be scene, to be seen
You mean nothing to me
I mean nothing to you
But for now, well I guess you'll just have to do
Now, I have a throne
And an audience to hear
The world shall know
How I'm endlessly here
And you may believe
That I'm more of just the same
When this is over, yeah
You will know my name
Now sometimes I get overcome with fear
I feel like there's a voice that I can't quite hear
But it never really has very much to say
Just something inane about fading away
You do something for me
I'll do something for you
And we'll step over the bodies as we do
Now, I have a throne
And an audience to hear
The world shall know
How I'm endlessly here
And you may believe
That I'm more of just the same
When this is over, yeah
You will know my name
Yeah, you will know my name
Yeah, you will know my name
Yeah, you will know my name
You, you will, you will know
Now, I have a throne
And an audience to hear
The world shall know
How I'm endlessly here
And you may believe
That I'm more of just the same
When this is over, yeah
You will know my name
When this is over, yeah
You will know my name
When this is over, yeah
You will, you will know my name

Birth Of A Voyager

Are we screaming the right way?
Have we covered up enough
So we can wear our shackles and our uniforms
Come on, make me one of the bright ones
The slaves who fake their talk so
That they're never told they're wrong
The grass is greenest when it's gone
There is wonder to be found
But this life finds a way
To kick you when you're down
So let's burn it to the ground
And have the time of our lives
As we make this goddamn sound
So take me there right now
Am I willing to fade away?
Just let gravity
Take me over and navigate my chest to the ground
Lay me to rest while I'm still breathing
Must we
Find peace within,
Toe the line and stop the dreaming
That maybe
Just maybe
We were destined to fly
There is wonder to be found
But this life finds a way
To kick you when you're down
So let's burn it to the ground
And have the time of our lives
As we make this goddamn sound
You know, the places we can go
So take me there right now
Take me there right now
I
Break
To the pressure
Take a dive and use my wings to soar
Hearts
Take
What they're told to
Get torn apart and grow a taste for more
There is wonder to be found
But this life finds a way
To kick you when you're down
So let's burn it to the ground
And have the time of our lives
As we make this goddamn sound
You know, the places we can go
So take me there right now.

Arisen

Witnessed that shadow take its place,
The vista starved for light below.
Watched sunken lines adorn your face.
Helpless, I let them grow
You spoke of anger
Of betrayal and goodbyes
Of wounds I couldn't heal
Though I tried to
That bitter accolade
For the heart given to fly
Those jackals they made
Enmity in you
There is a mark upon your shoulder
From bearing weight, I know
Each step you took it made you colder, brother
There is a mark upon your shoulder
Where jade has lost its home
This blood will never let that burden fester near your throne
Fearless and bold we waved you off
Oh where did you go
Compassion held men aloft
While lovers struck their blows
You spoke of anger
Of betrayal and goodbyes
Of wounds I couldn't heal
Though I tried to
But you are stronger
I see the man reborn
This purpose
It becomes you
There is a mark upon your shoulder
From bearing weight, I know
Each step you took it made you colder, brother
There is a mark upon your shoulder
Where jade has lost its home
This blood will never let that burden fester near your throne
We witnessed
That burden
Now you have
Arisen
We witnessed
That burden
Now you have
Arisen
There is a mark upon your shoulder
From bearing weight, I know
Each step you took it made you colder, brother
There is a mark upon your shoulder
Where jade has lost its home
This blood will never let that burden fester near your throne
Arise
Reborn

Shut In
06:13

One more tragedy for my eyes
Woven just to deceive you
Two-faced promise of compromise
Far too easy to see through
But are we gripping ourselves too tight?
This could be everything that we're striving to be
Just look away, shield your eyes from the light
It's coming, and it preys upon your soul
Why can't I just commit
To anything at all?
Just giving in to it and rebuilding this wall
Keep me shut in from the world outside (outside)
There's always something to fear (always a spirit to break)
No one will ever be able to make me feel that way
I swear it feels like every fucking time we try (we try)
To even spin our wheels (to move towards what's real)
Self-pity, lethargy, apathy lives in me
This has controlled me for too long
I keep playing the victim
Shift the blame and end up alone
My nonsensical system
Just stay down, nothing to see up here
Turn around, and take in what you're programmed to see
Don't look away, this is what's needed now
It's coming, and taking all control
We play it like a game
Ready to take the fall
And we keep draining you until you end it all
Keep me shut in from the world outside (outside)
There's always something to fear (always a spirit to break)
No one will ever be able to make me feel that way
I swear it feels like every fucking time we try (we try)
To even spin our wheels (to move towards what's real)
Self-pity, lethargy, apathy lives in me
It lives in me
It lives in me
No way to be
So just take me
I don't want this
Anymore
Take me out into the world outside (outside)
I just want something real (to give my spirit a break)
Someone or something that's able to make me feel that way
I swear I won't let another fucking day go by (go by)
Waiting for this to heal (I'll move towards what's real)
Self-belief becomes the truth that resides in me
It resides in me

Words carry weight like a knife -
deadly through thick skin
They roam through the tide
For us to take in
Break out
They're trying to reach you
Cast out
It hurts when they call out your name
Give in
They wanted to see you
Fade out
They wanted to see you fall
No faith
The last land we set foot in
Disgrace
Reversed but somehow all the same
Your creed
I'm trying to breathe
Your race
I'm trying to see through it all
Which thoughts belong?
Why can
we only speak in
tongues?
do we trust
our beetle mysteries,
When we sail different seas?
Like slicing a vein
(we all bleed the same)
This curse doesn't end like a flame
Somebody needs you
Somebody needs you to know
Though the world feels wrong
That thought belongs
This box belongs
Why can
we only speak in
tongues?
do we trust
our beetle mysteries,
When we sail different seas?
The journey is upside-down
And the lines are all broken
But we can be reached in a crowd
Despite not knowing
If we're all
immutable
and selling the same thing
If souls are perfect
Why can't we think out loud?
Why can
we only speak in
tongues?
do we trust
our beetle mysteries,
When we sail different seas?
Words carry weight like a knife -
deadly through thick skin
They roam through the tide
For us to take in

Fall From Disgrace
06:41
|
|||
|
A pathway cleared without compromise
A deal you've made with those you despise
Leaving you on thin ice
A thought that's burned right into your head
A resurrection of the dead
You can't hide the eyes of red
This is not how we planned this to be
Why are they still looking at me?
What are they expecting to see?
I want out
I'm losing ground in my own race
I'll lose my mind before I lose face
I'll tear down this whole goddamn place
Come see my fall from disgrace
You built your empire on all these lies
Now watch it crumble before your eyes
You borrow, you pay the price
You've made it clear to those you hate
And there's no room for fucking debate
It's over
The earth begins to shake
I don't need you, I've got this myself
I've got no soul left I can sell
Do you think it's easy to tell?
I want out
I'm losing ground in my own race
I'll lose my mind before I lose face
I'll tear down this whole goddamn place
Come see my fall from disgrace
It's turning around on you
They're turning away from you
I'm losing ground in my own race
I'll lose my mind before I lose face
I'll tear down this whole goddamn place
Come and watch me fall
Wipe me away without a trace
A legacy of hate erased
But I still leave with that bitter taste
As I fall from disgrace

Blinded

Those dreams are in your head
Like water in your hands
You try to keep a hold
The cup runs over
No targets left in mind
The glimmer in your eye has
Long since slipped its locks
This death is slower
I am
But you stopped believing
I feel
But you won't let your heart grieve
You've left no space to breathe
You said that you were free
I bleed
See, it never left you
Step back
I know you feel those scars still
Remind you who you are
Remind us who we are
Remind us who we are
I will take this all on
I take this upon myself
All that I need from you
Is to believe in
I see this time and time and time again
Falling in step til you lost all sense of self
You're becoming someone else
You're separating
I know more than an enemy
They'll seek blood for this heresy
One more slave that I'm setting free
And I won't stop there I am taking you all
I will take this all on
I take this upon myself
All that I need from you
Is to believe in
You, you'll take this all on
You, you'll take this on yourself
All that is left to do
Is for you to see the truth
I will take this all on
I take this upon myself
All that I need from you
Is to believe in
You, you'll take this all on
You, you'll take this on yourself
All that is left to do
Is for you to see the truth

Give me a reason that I should carry on
Because this whole thing is starting to get old, and it's taking
Its toll on me, it weighs on you
It's draining the will of every idiot who decides to get involved
Time stands still
I drift alone with empty vessels
I swear this wasn't meant to be
A life that's built on good intentions
That crumbles under this reality
So many things I could say have brought me here
But if the truth be told I am crippled by my fear, I keep thinking
It's not for me, it can't come true
I'm spinning my wheels in the dirt and I guess that there's comfort staying here
Time stands still
I drift alone with empty vessels
I swear this wasn't meant to be
A life that's built on good intentions
That crumbles under this reality
This broken state
Consumed by hate
Exasperate
Accelerate
If this is all
If I should fall
I'm making damn sure that I take you all
I'll take you all
No way in hell I'm going down alone

Applause Of A Distant Crowd

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10
