Churning Turning (feat. Cori Adkins)

from Aetheri by Techno Cinema

/

about

Sometimes all it takes is one compelling narrative -- and a crowd apathetic enough to believe it -- to build a foundation strong enough to support a thousand lies.

lyrics

Bright lights and silhouettes
Blurring the dark and the light
Tripped on a live wire
Now we will tumble into night

Break through the perfect mold
Hold back the enemy within
Shatter the mirror
And see the world for what it truly is

Churning turning
Falling slowly down
Getting warmer,
Ever-closing sound

Crowded at twilight, barren by dawn

Why must we sit around
While they bring the world to it's knees
And how can you stand around
When we can barely breathe
Cast out the falsities
So winter can turn into spring
Cornered and terrified, you carry the sword
Happily pushed to extremes

Churning turning
Twirling slowly 'round
Heart is colder
When you wear the crown
Self inflicted,
Broken bruised machine

Floats like a butterfly, and aches like a dream

You expect no consequences
Hide yourself in your pretenses
One too many times forgiven
Facts cannot be killed if hidden
Time cannot be bought it's borrowed
Towers built to ebb your sorrow
Play pretend and flip the blame

Heart of the inferno
Middle of the bright crimson sky
Change and the miracle
Gave us a new way to die

Churning turning
Warning through the years
Wear your warpaint
Crocodile tears

Churning turning
Running out of time
Bearing witness
To the thorns of life

Clouded by clarity, your "truth" is a lie!

You're not blessed with knowledge untold
You're simply too scared that you have no control
This isn't reality
This is a cage of fear and pain, loathing and rage
Are you really that oblivious?
Are you really that blind?
It's an idiot's game, and you win every time
So step right up and claim your prize
You're not disciples
You're mindless acolytes!
