After Me 04:11
I know they've been searching for me They're after me I see the lights It's coming down I know deep inside They're after me I see the light I see it coming closer I know it's time They're after me All this time I thought I had a plan Everything I know is wrong I'm not a man Please don't take me I've been waiting I need saving They're after me
2.
Artery 03:56
White light at night Still I see there's a better way Within sight, it's bright They're coming to get me I've been hiding inside Hoping they'll leave me alone We've been letting it go I can't wake to find another day Knowing my peace has been broke I can't let you go to another world Not when our time hasn't turned Walk slow, stay low Tip-toe pass all the passersby Within sight we ignite They're coming to get us I've been running all this time Hoping to get to the sun I've been living a dream Don't let them take me I've waiting all my life for it Now I know the reason Take it from me, I don't want to be me
3.
Dead 04:19
The room is black and white Without a trace of you here tonight The rows are filled as they pass With exhausting fumes of exhaling gas Bury me, I'm dead The night was bleak and dark A crisscrossing pattern to show us the mark It was here Our final stand We're at the crossroads, purgatory Soft, let the night inside you Let it ignite you Feel inside from all around
4.
Mys 04:32
The way that I see it You had no faith when I pulled you in And I believe it was straight away There was no sand in the desert sky We are mystics We are centuries ahead of time You and I believe that we all were meant to fly Just drown me out And you'll see it Just let me out And I'll be the one you need Now that I can see There's nothing that can hold me back In this death trap set I am miles ahead and I am waves above the sand You can speak their language You can own their gold But you will never be the God The God that we all know You are simply just a fraud
5.
Head/Hunt 03:26
Head/Hunt They're after you There's nothing you can do They're back to claim what is theirs Full front You can't stand your guard With your weakened heart Dive in and see what is left for you I know they'll take you down Lift you off of the ground Spin you around And there's nothing that you can do about it I know that times are bad You gave up all that you have But now is not the time You can't begin to give up Just jump I'm right behind you Put everything in my hands And I'll walk the line with you Light's out Start a fire, let it burn down We'll get through this Through trials and tribulations We're on our own Meet me inside the lines Draw out all of their minds Keep it inside And there's everything that we can do about it I know that I'm at your side So let me into your mind I can fix the troubles that you have inside you
6.
X - Y 03:48
Welcome to the dark Let it all inside There's no turning back Welcome to the lies Everyone's been telling you Since you were a child Welcome to the mess Now that you're a part of This massive Chain You can never rest All the reasons why you live And for all your pain We've been here for some time And we've been waiting for somebody They'll make their way to your mind And find a way to control your body You know you're not the last The only one to judge is on the other side This is not the end Everything you're waiting for is right where you left Innocent we are Till the gates of heaven can no longer prove We're guilty as our sins But who will ever know till you fall out of place
7.
I'm whole like oceans Owned by commotion I've been breaking down Like I've been saving you We've been far too long Divided by oceans Waves of transparency That I have been denying That I have been denied That I have been denying
8.
Technicolor 02:52
I think somewhere along the lines I pulled the plug inside their minds In a sea of cars sending pollutants to the atmosphere I left my vessel somewhere in between They broke their way in to show us what they mean And all that's left is nothing worth it at all They hovered above the city To make themselves known But we don't see them We don't see anything at all A satellite picking up airwaves Can only breath as we do Limiting our oxygen, we suffocate Let's not believe them Let's start this on our own They're coming down Wake up your senses You need them now They're on their way down They hovered above the city To make themselves known But we don't see them We don't see anything but us
9.
Wouldn't you like to be like this? Wouldn't you like to be the one? All the world stands around in chaos But you and I are solemn in the end This is me now like weather patterns Meeting the Earth forever still This is our map We draw the lines as we move To the corners of the secrets in the room
10.
Giants 03:31
From the shadows I am unknown Hearing words about the past It's getting old These are not my cares to live by I'm just wandering along and missing home I am a traveling bard Listening to Giants talk Let me go I've been holding close Waiting for the time when you will Let me go As the tide pulls We all let go Drifting through seas We fall into the unknown We are destined to move in patterns It is not the way that things work You can change it all Let me go
11.
Xinter 03:52
It's a long way home From where they left you Every single time Like a joke, I'm left behind Tracing through the desert sands You burn, you scorch, you fall I know everything I've done Is not enough at all We're home inside our petty world We're home in the dead of xinter It's been a long, long time Since the two of us existed Trouble turns from faith Like memories get twisted Bleeding like a dying omen Had cursed my life, my lies Trying hard to keep myself From wanting what lies behind It's been a test of time Trying to keep the masses busy Left inside the dark They don't know their own history Leaving questions deep inside They won't know their own tomorrow Everything they every did Was taken or forged or borrowed We're home inside our petty world We're home in the dead of xinter
12.
After All 03:56
I spent most my life Waiting for a sign Beyond the time I've wasted I've been running from the Same old lights The Earth Spins till we stop The stopping never ends One by one we're picked apart Until we stand our ground again After all I never wanted this I want to feel my blood and sweat On my fingertips After all I never gave a shit I want to lay down and die At the end of it I spent the last two years Waiting for the time to pass Hoping in the sidelines That you would slow it down to last Everybody gets their way Nobody ever knows the time We all collide in coincidence And end up leaving in time to say

about

CENTURION is a concept album about a man who is abducted by aliens. I spent a good chunk of 9 months putting it together to ensure that I wouldn't make every song match up with the previous one. Please enjoy the inner rattlings of my brain. I included little snippets of things that came up during the writing process (i.e. photos, the original tracklist/album title, concept art)
