Perfect Symmetry Lyrics

Part of the Machine
Just another face in the crowd
wandering towards obscurity.
Driven by the dull desires
of a worn out routine.

Stagnant in the suffocating silence
of emotional exile,
a fugitive from freedom
surrenders to mediocrity.

A helpless voice
starting to sink.
You could make a choice
but you never learned to think

Weary and weakened
victims fall prey
to vague ideals
and passionless play.
Systematic spontaneity
in synchronized society.

Immersed in the cause
and the call of the day,
sacrificed inner needs
give way.
To shared individuality
in collective reality.

A spirit of belonging
satisfies your longing
but the truth is never seen.
False sense of freedom grows
but dependency shows
your part of the machine.

A hopeless choice,
searching for someone real.
You could find that voice
but you never learned to feel.


Through Different Eyes
We're walking within a shadow
where echoes of different times resound
looking for memories to relive
in yesterdays that can't be found

Through different eyes
we keep looking for what we lack
Changing minds
take us away, and you can't go back

And staring into ageless eyes
that shared secrets too dark for light
we're searching for old bonds in places
that lie forever out of sight

Through different eyes
we keep looking for what we lack
Changing minds
take us away, and you can't go back
to different times
or ageless eyes, free from sorrow
Changing hearts
will hide the past from tomorrow

Through different eyes we try to find
people and places we've left behind.




Static Acts
Air currents grind, monotony.
Image defined, static scene.
Adherents bent opinionless
following scent of commoness.

Fit the latest rage,
whatever stains the page.
Then fears allayed,
of lonely shade.

Wheels, they grind...industry.
Insipid finds, out of key.
Opinions bent toward standard waves,
bleaching out divergent shades.

Mock integrity.
Veiled hypocrisy.
Ironic finds,
when selves descried.

Ban expressiveness.
Bold repressiveness
dictated by minds closed tight
and walls that shut out light,
and so we have static acts.


A World Apart
We find ourselves in ruin
and it's come too far, how?
It's no use
too much allowed and abused

Worlds apart
they're exused
When we're warned
they're amused

We slip right by, and ignore
this sable scene
We've lives to live
it's all for one you see
Why should we think to care
won't we soon disappear?

Worlds apart
they're exused
Balance waived as we speak

Praised are those with fashion grand
self concern leads their plans
A moment's craze and natural crime
subserves a world to malignant minds


At Fate's Hands
Ours is the cry of the helpless, told
in the timeless truth of the written word

Trapped by the tempest of the blind
our muted calls can't be heard

Helpless as we stand
amidst the push of thoughtless hands

We are adrift without direction
in a raging storm on a calm sea
Clinging to our expectations
to stem the tide of destiny

Helpless as we fall
beneath the crush of waters walls


The Arena
Words of cunning
shining stunning.
Men of grandeur
blinding, numbing
with winsome wiles in specious styles.

Speeches etching,
rhyming, wrenching.
Men so shallow
stumble fetching
for words that maze, to clear their daze.

Calm in disarray
Sinking day by day
Hopeless never see
save what they believe.

Choices weakening,
ever sinking.
Men are poisoned into thinking
that they've a voice above their noise.

Spheres of disarray
worsened by the day
Sadly led and fooled
without thoughts to rule.


Chasing Time
I've watched in silence, without seeing
as a stranger within me grew
Detached and distanced from the day
while youth's precious years flew

Chasing time through empty skies
of endless hours
living for the future

Visions of brighter days to come
kept the shadows from my sight
made the present bearable
and obscured the fading light

Chasing time through the cold void
of solitary days
living for the future

Today is within my reach
and tomorrow is so illusive
But I'm still chasing time
through increasing disillusion
forever living for
the future of an illusion


Nothing Left To Say
I remember the endless longing
that called inside of me
from fountains of expression
trying to break free

Nothing left to say
when the walls give way

Still I can faintly recall
the subtle purity
of youthfull inspiration
and insecurity

Nothing left to say
when the child finds his way

Pride and the drive that started the dream
turned in time to an endless obsession
Caught in a vicious circle of compulsion
possessed by the goal and the possession

Desires bind the truth to secrecy
but behind the aspirations I see
a life devoted to blind ambition
and a mortal man searching for eternity

Behind the desires
and the wall that gave way
there's a forgotten cause
consumed by the day

Behind the ambitions
of a child who found his way
there's a cold realization
that our deeds die with the day
And behind the disguise
of a man with a cause
there's a child screaming
with nothing left to say

Paralyzed by inhibitions
and indecisions
What once was a release
is now a prison
