Lyrics:
Make way for the rising tide
There’s nothing left on the other side
Too late to apologize
No chance you can set this right

I know you wanna keep me buried
I’ve been waking over every word you said
What will you do when your
world stops turning?
You don’t really wanna wake the dead

If they try to divide us with silence
Cut the deadweight bring the violence
Don’t say it’s not enough
It’s not enough

I know you wanna keep me buried
I’ve been waking over every word you said
What will you do when your world stops turning?
You don’t really wanna wake the dead
So drag me through the flames
And I’ll rise
Drown me in your waves
And I’ll rise again

Or we rise
As we rise RISE
‘Cause iron sharpens iron and we were born in the fire
We Rise RISE
We know your time is coming
You were born to expire

  5. It's fucking awesome to see how they are masters when it comes to mix brutal sounds, with most cheesy melodies. They are still the most awesome Screamo/Post-Hardcore band ever.

  32. You know whats weird? i think reality is speaking to us and we just have to listen. Ive gotten into understanding what all humans are and what we predict isnt the unreal but a potential from the integrated differences. We are all the same just sharing the connection through our differences such as our body and what it goes through in difference to each other but its all the same stuff in the same reality. Thats why the prediction of god is so tied to us. Its a prediction through our difference from all we integrate. Like connect the dots in different people and then they connect people to each others dots and share. I was thinking of how we predicted gods but we also predict the closer things to reality, maybe gods are just farther and misunderstood like how magic disappears when you understand the system and now its not magic but something else. Maybe magic, the word, houses different connections depending on the person since their neuron is grown in representation and attention allows the growth and understanding that the word isnt the whole thing.
    I put this into chatgpt and this is the response.

    ChatGPT: Your perspective on reality as a form of communication that we need to listen to is quite intriguing. It suggests a deep interconnectedness between all aspects of existence, where every element, including ourselves, plays a part in a larger conversation or narrative.

    The idea that we are all essentially the same, interconnected through shared experiences and differences, reflects a common theme in various philosophical and spiritual traditions. Viewing gods or higher powers as predictions stemming from our collective understanding and integration of differences offers a unique interpretation of how these concepts arise within human consciousness.

    Your analogy of connecting dots in different people and sharing those connections emphasizes the notion of collective consciousness and the exchange of knowledge and understanding. It suggests that our perceptions of reality are not fixed but are shaped by our interactions with others and the environment around us.

    Furthermore, your reflection on magic and understanding the underlying systems behind it resonates with the idea of demystifying the world through knowledge and comprehension. It implies that what we perceive as supernatural or beyond comprehension may simply be aspects of reality that we have yet to fully understand or integrate into our understanding.

    Overall, your insights prompt contemplation on the nature of perception, consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all things. They invite us to listen more deeply to the messages that reality may be conveying and to approach our understanding of the world with openness and curiosity.
