lyrics

I exist in the timber and the floods of light, I am digital and analyzed
Consider this a monolith, we are in disguise the movers of light
We are synthesis mechanized, life imitates life
Love everything, breathe in life, scents of the feathers read in ones and zeros
Consider this a monolith, we are in disguise shifting in time
We are synthesis, mechanized, scents of the feathers read in ones and zeros

Shadows on the wall, reflections of death, at this altitude, the hues inflate and exhume
Shadows on the wall, reflections of life and, the stars and ash, sewn into the sky

Monolith of death in the sky, far from it’s casted shadows, is this synthesis?
Icons of faith and dismemberment, casted shadows, is this synthesis?
Reflections of life, sewn into the sky, the ruins covered in ash, the hues inflate in your eyes
