Lyrics to Obsidian [Full Album 2022] by Northlane

Tracklist: 01. Clarity Clarity, don't let me down now Clarity, don't let me down Clarity, don't let me down Clarity, don't let me down You're killing me Disgrace to my flesh and blood My pain didn't say enough Here and gone Burned into the songs The legacy has come undone You said you didn't deserve this That my truth struck a nerve Well I meant every word I was disregarded Dragged my skull to the curb You fucked me up again Mind inanimate, un-compassionate As if I hurt you for the thrill of it But you're deaf, sеlf-entwined My history is being undеrmined Clarity, don't let me down now Clarity, don't let me down You're killing me Make of me, your scapegoat Pull me to the shadows Hold me ransom in chains Cut out my tongue and curse my name I'm the lamb of sacrifice for your mistakes Lead me to the slaughter now we're at a stalemate Blame it on the past, tell me we're condemned Nothing's going to change, we're already dead Clarity, don't let me down now Clarity, don't let me down You're killing me 02. Clockwork [Intro] I'm running out of time I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling so I'm running out of time I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling so, oh I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling so [Verse] These are lonely words, barely on the page I've a million thoughts, but I can't let them escape I've got this barrier, screaming "Inferior" Am I a saboteur lost in the fear that I'm destined to fail? That I'll derail the dream I've got nothing to show, but the show must go on I wish I had the energy [Pre-Chorus] I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling so, oh I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling so [Chorus] I'm running out of time I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling so I'm running out of time I'm running out, I'm running out of So empty, so empty I'm so empty, so empty I'm running out of time I'm running out of time [Pre-Breakdown] Help me see the rainbow Help me see the rainbow through the clouded eyes I'm in half the mind to leave it all behind Help me see the rainbow [Breakdown] I can't find a pulse, and it's getting cold Help me see the rainbow [Chorus] I'm running out of time I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling so I'm running out of time I'm running out, I'm running out of So empty, so empty I'm so empty, so empty I'm running out of time I'm running out of time [Outro] I'm running out of time Yeah 03. Echo Chamber [Verse 1] Have you tried turning it off, taking a break? When nobody is watching do you make the same mistakes? Is it loud in there? It's ringing on and on White noise poisons all your choices Haunting you in different voices [Chorus] Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber Something's gotta give sooner or later Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber [Verse 2] Have you tried turning it off, looking away? The free mind of a stranger sears the tether to your brain It cuts you deep, you feel ashamed The only thing that matters is what you can create [Chorus] Praying I go dеaf in this echo chamber Praying I go deaf in this еcho chamber Something's gotta give sooner or later Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber [Breakdown] Echo chamber Echo chamber [Chorus 2] Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber Something's gotta give sooner or later Praying I go deaf until there's nothing left Oh! [Outro] The free mind of a stranger sears the tether to your brain The only thing that matters is what you can create 04. Carbonized [Intro] Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat [Verse 1] Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat If the shit floats, run it through the main line Sugar sweet with a bitter beat, strip the paint You're just praying your prey remain snow-blind Conspire to keep them quiet You run for cover but you lit the fire Now your terror's at an end, disappear into the wind Never to be seen again We're wearing idol eyes Pretending we're onside It's not a reflection I want to glorify [Chorus] Hide for now, once thе sun comes out You'll be carbonized You'rе making shadows shift like an incubus You'll be carbonized, it serves you right [Verse 2] I've been talking to my conscience It's soft-spoken and self-conscious Training my instincts to be cautious To remember that you're toxic We're wearing idol eyes Pretending we're onside It's not a reflection I want to glorify Carbonize [Bridge] I looked up to you But you looked down on them Predatory through and through And you call yourself a man And you call yourself a man [Chorus] Hide for now, once the sun comes out You'll be carbonized You're making shadows shift like an incubus You'll be carbonized, it serves you right [Interlude] Hide for now, once the sun comes out You'll be carbonized You're making shadows shift like an incubus You'll be carbonized [Outro] I've got no heroes anymore (Hide for now) Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat (Hide for now) Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat 05. Abomination [Intro] Re-emerging as a monster Re-emerging as a monster An imposter out of lifelines Manning a dead mind Abomination [Chorus] I'm a slave to blame Trying to hide my shame Now I'm growing numb In the burning sun Abomination [Verse] Re-emerging as a monster An imposter out of lifelines Manning a dead mind Lifeless, I'm a barren desert Void of self-belief Tired desires are dying in the heat [Chorus] I'm a slave to blame Trying to hide my shamе Now I'm growing numb In the burning sun Abomination [Breakdown] Re-emеrging as a monster I'm an imposter out of lifelines Manning a dead mind Abomination [Chorus] I'm a slave to blame Trying to hide my shame Now I'm growing numb In the burning sun Abomination 06. Plenty I'll never be ready to meet a memory I'll never be ready to meet a memory A memory that abandoned me Falling silent, going mad I've gone walkabout with the parasites in my head Far too quiet, it's deafening As I pick away at the surface The itch burns through my skin When the dirt crushes my bones And the worms call me their home If I'm asked to start again I can't pretend I'm ready I can't pretend I've had plenty Drown this broken dream A taste was quiet enough for me My mind's too unsteady Stay away from me Please I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me When the dirt crushes my bones (I'll never be ready to meet a memory) And the worms call me their home (A memory that abandoned me) If I'm asked to start again I can't pretend I'm ready I can't pretend I've had plenty I'll never be ready to meet a memory A memory that abandoned me I'll never be ready to meet a memory A memory that abandoned me 07. Is This A Test? [Hook] Is this a test Or just a consequence A side effect Of endless emptiness Is this a test Or just a consequence A side effect Of endless emptiness Is this a test? [Break] Human nature System failure Signals crossing Wondering Human nature System failure Signals crossing Wondering Is this a test? Is this a test? [Hook] Is this a test Or just a consequence A side effect Of endless emptiness Is this a test Or just a consequence A side effect Of endless emptiness Is this a test? Is this a test? 08. Xen Listen, feel, keep your lips sealed Nothing's real beyond your ideals Hold it in, shed a new skin Contamination, sent into a headspin It doesn't have to be poetry That doesn't mean that it can't speak If it's forged in sincerity The message is ours to bleed Tell me what it means to you, keep it that way We're never gonna feel the same and that's okay Have no shame Listen, feel Nothing's real Hold it in What are you suppressing? There's no good No bad, just the connection To the sound, got lost in thе reflection Left you bound Outsidе your true intentions Cursed with endless, worthless questions Tell me what it means to you, keep it that way We're never gonna feel the same and that's okay Have no shame Just breathe in, savour the taste It's healing, break down the gate With no restraints Embrace Just breathe in, savour the taste It's healing, break down the gate With no restraints Embrace 09. Cypher Turn me into a battery If I get to be who I wanna be No "One", no prodigy Will speak for me I can't touch, I can't feel A false prophecy The truth or a lie, this painting of thought Black and white lines, vividity drawn Don't drown me in a sea of machines Don't drown me in a sea of machines Call me back in Turn me into a battery If I get to be who I wanna be No "One", no prodigy Will speak for me I can't touch, I can't feel A false prophecy "...to say yes, it may be a game, but it's a ghastly game, it's a grim game. It's like a child who's caught a fly alive and is picking the wings off it. The universe is that sort of scheme. It's a trap. It's the thing that gives you hope, always dangling possibilities in front of you to keep you going but then it grinds you up. Then it revives you a little like a master torturer, keeping a person alive in order to experience pain." Call me back in No "One", no prodigy Will speak for me I can't touch, I can't feel A false prophecy No "One", no prodigy Will speak for me I can't touch, I can't feel A false prophecy Turn me into a battery Turn me into a battery 10. Nova I've finally opened my eyes I think I needed the time Needed to lose my mind To find my way to the surface I didn't see the signs Thought I was doing fine Turns out that I was blind A lie had burrowed deep into my soul My spirit exploding Chaos fire, infinite release In pieces I'm falling A life I can't repeat My spirit exploded And I picked up the pieces At least what I could I hope the glue holds like it should But I can see the cracks My spirit exploded Waking up in the shadows Thе cycle runs its course A lesson to bе taught But I can't lift myself off the floor My spirit exploding Chaos fire, infinite release In pieces I'm falling A life I can't repeat My spirit exploded And I picked up the pieces At least what I could I hope the glue holds like it should But I can see the cracks My spirit exploded 11. Inamorata I've finally opened my eyes I think I needed the time Needed to lose my mind To find my way to the surface I didn't see the signs Thought I was doing fine Turns out that I was blind A lie had burrowed deep into my soul My spirit exploding Chaos fire, infinite release In pieces I'm falling A life I can't repeat My spirit exploded And I picked up the pieces At least what I could I hope the glue holds like it should But I can see the cracks My spirit exploded Waking up in the shadows Thе cycle runs its course A lesson to bе taught But I can't lift myself off the floor My spirit exploding Chaos fire, infinite release In pieces I'm falling A life I can't repeat My spirit exploded And I picked up the pieces At least what I could I hope the glue holds like it should But I can see the cracks My spirit exploded 12. Obsidian In cycles of voracity We radiate human decay Lost within the lines we've drawn It's futile, we're too far gone We're too far gone We're infinite points to a star Transformed into a meteor We crashed into the universe And turned it to obsidian We're our own gods Holding torches to the cauldron De-sensitized to burning corpses In cycles of voracity We radiate human decay Lost within the lines we'vе drawn It's futile, we're too far gonе Too far gone It's futile, we're too far gone Tired catastrophe Radiating our skin Closing in on the glitch Breaking down from within Eclipse our sin We let the poison win We're too far gone 13. Dark Solitaire I'm falling, falling in Into my head I'm falling, falling in Into my head Walking against the wind Dark solitaire I'm roaming these paper streets Hoping no one will find me You wouldn't even recognize my face I'm navigating pain I'm circling the drain Maybe the journey will open up the sky The ghost of a memory won't let me say goodbye Won't let me say goodbye I'm falling, falling in I'm still trying to be what I see in myself I'm still trying to be what I see in myself I'm still trying to be what I see in myself But I need help
