== Lyrics ==

=== 1. The Life Unreachable ===

(Give me another reason to die) 
(Only a creature like me would allow this to happen) 
(The cumulative weight of every flaw and mistake) 
(Crushes me into something unrecognizable)

Why couldn’t I have been like her? 
This life is so unfair to both of us 
All of us 
Am I selfish? 
I’ll be empty evermore 
Lacking what’s supposed to be misfortune 
I’d trade ours in a blink

(Deziro estas stultaĵo) <Desire is a stupid thing> 
(I feel no distinction between what I should and shouldn't want) 
(Or what’s real and what’s not) 
(I only feel deep longing forever) 
(I seek to be hurt in all ways but this) 
(Kial mia faristo malbenis min vivi tiel?) <Why did my maker curse me to live like this?>

Incarcerated in the ring of envy 
What I am is never right 
I will never be great, never fully escape 
Must be content to play my part in the one life 
No-thing pulls on my heart like the joy I’ll never have 
The life unreachable 
I can only imagine being happy 
Borrow the life of a truer me 
Someone I’ll never live to be 
(But, ya know, I’ll take what I can get, for the moment)

=== 2. Monolithium ===
Instrumental

=== 3. Nocturne Paranoia ===

Instrumental

=== 4. Glimmer Extrication ===
Instrumental

=== 5. Not This Time ===

Eternal the fleeting 
It’s been so long I’ve naught left to say 
Except I’m sorry 
To the faceless representations of you 
Imperceptible, unknown mercy on my noose 
I 
Always flounder to 
Extricate from the 
Ghosts of them bent on holding me back 
Is it me, or projections of life 
Conjured from the perceptions I could never grasp 
Every vow 
Is my hope till it dies 
Forever not this time

Down my line of failures 
Unbroken continuity writhes 
My only constant here 
Barless prison, open as a Tesla valve dry 
In this resting place, there’s no hope in knowing why 
I 
Always flounder to 
Extricate from the 
Ghosts of me thinking not with my head 
Is it me, is it you, who am I 
In the labyrinth inside without a start or end 
Useful change 
Always meets this demise 
Forever not this time

(I’ve been forced into seeing the discontinuity) 
(Something else is broken) 
(And who is she?) 
Nothing more important than discipline 
I’ve known that my whole conscious life 
I simply must internalize it [this word leads into the next line] 
Doesn’t help that there’s something else in my head

So I will learn to dance with you 
Your possession a part of me 
Now with nowhere to hide 
Spin me round, dip me down 
To the nightmare I learn to withstand through years I have to bide 
Every blow 
Is a step I must climb 
I’ll survive if its not this time

=== 6. Sakura Blade Minivan ===

Take my van to a better place 
I longed for new life anyway 
I grieve 
A future departed from every vision that made it real

=== 7. Resolute Prelude ===
Instrumental

=== 8. Life and Limb ===

This pain feels good for it channels away the anguish 
But it will never be enough to make it permanent 
So I hope if I go further I’ll find permanence elsewhere 
How elating to grind and carve myself a bleaker body

=== 9. Residual Soliloquy ===

So I find myself here again 
After the edge 
I have nothing left, nowhere to go

I’ve undergone a vital metamorphosis 
My mask is shattered 
The one that let me think I was the same as myself 
It hurts to rearrange like this 
Who’s under my skin when I look in the mirror 
And is it contradictory to say I hate me 
But I love you 
You’re all I have left 
I love you

I don’t know who I am 
But I know you 
I’m just what’s left over

You beautiful woman 
I love who you’ve become 
Divided reduced and scarred 
But more you than you’ve ever been

I’m glad we survived to see the day 
The war isn’t over, but it might just be one day

We’ll never be who I want to be 
I have no choice but to accept that 
But every day you get closer 
I strive to see that

You beautiful woman 
I love who you’ve become 
You make it worth this imprisonment 
I can’t wait to be you again
