I: Surrounded By Empty Space 15:03
lyrics
When you dream Do you bleed Darkness empties everything in me Do you see The light shining through I don't Four walls closing in Oh no The emptiness is riddling This dying soul was never answered A mystery that's yet unsolved Unscathed But only on the outside Surrounded by empty space This dying soul would never give in But something had forced its hand Deranged Torn up on the inside Surrounded by empty space Disbelief Disdain Despair Decay Machine Madman Mangy Monster There's a crack in the sky When the time bomb was In the universe Shards are falling upon us Let it all be known The universe begins to erode And it shows In comes a black hole When you dream Dream of a better world Is it anything like this When I dream I'm stuck with the nightmares That become this shit My eyes reflect That of my mind This curse I'm given Monstrous in size Somewhere in time I've become lost Somewhere out there They've paid the cost In times like this The silence soothes But the universe It shows its doom The sky beneath the ground The ground beneath the sky In perpetual motion The two will collide This dying soul was never answered Unscathed but only on the outside Surrounded by empty space This dying soul would never give in Deranged, torn up on the inside Surrounded by empty space

II: Otherworldly Haunting Miasma 12:15
lyrics
Sky Ground Die Down Life Dead Lies Said Can you smell the burning in the air The universe is tearing out there The rift in space and time has broken The continuum is beyond repair Smells like Hell Smells like we're going down Smells like evil Above and underground I've seen it Space and time will break The atmosphere shows it If only it were fake Can you smell the burning in the air The universe is tearing out there The rift in space and time has broken The continuum is beyond repair Sky Ground Die Down Life Dead Lies Said It haunts us by staying Its presence remaining Foreboding and scary The sight of it kills me Can anything be saved? Can anything be changed? Disarray Insanity Chaos incarnate Disarray Insanity Chaos incarnate Disarray Insanity Chaos incarnate Disarray Insanity Chaos incarnate We can't save anything Like the three hundred nihillion of you That did nothing Can you smell the burning in the air The universe is tearing out there The rift in space and time has broken The continuum is beyond repair This is the dawn of the end This is where everything comes down This is the way that we go This is the haunting sound Nothing is safe.

III: Infinity Feels Like Nothing 11:14
lyrics
The barren universe And its deadly curse Mystify the Earth Delegating worth When everything feels like infinity I want it to feel like nothing Nothing The sky beneath the ground And everything around Forever would be changed And for a second we weren't insane When everything feels like infinity I want it to feel like nothing Nothing

IV: Commence Collapse 21:16
lyrics
And then it all came down Like clockwork We were gone that day We watched it all We were whisked away In the planets' fall In the midst of a Once in a lifetime moment It was over from The moment it began Commence collapse Everything's in ruin Commence collapse Our worst fears proven Commence collapse Everything's amiss Commence collapse And then it all came down So fucking fast Buildings crashed to the earth The casualties high Everything of worth Had suddenly died When the world lies red And voices are few There's nothing left There's nothing to do Commence collapse Everything's in ruin Commence collapse Our worst fears proven Commence collapse Everything's amiss Commence collapse Our darkest hour has come When it all came down The silence doesn't soothe you anymore The loss is blatant The loss is high And now it's empty So say goodbye Commence collapse Everything's in ruin Commence collapse Our worst fears proven Commence collapse Everything's amiss Commence collapse We will cease to exist This soul now dead was never answered And it's never coming clear It's gone Now and forevermore Surrounded by empty space The universe had caved in There's nothing left but emptiness It's gone Now and forevermore Surrounded by empty space Goodbye.

about

Hear ye, hear ye, Ladies and Gentlemen, Dr. Frankenstein can be cast aside. Presented before ye is an experiment in madness created by a man who masquerades under the not widely accepted moniker of the Psychodox. The vast imagery displayed as that of a damaged psyche in the sonic form cannot be matched by any reinterpretations without failure. This is an experiment in its own right, which the Psychodox dares to explore for terms of his own research. All possible good and evils have been implemented in this project, yielding results both terrifying and pleasant. Consider this audible mechanism for ye mind to be either a voyage into the universe of ye wildest dreams, or the venture into ye darkest of nightmares. Whichever the mode of travel you choose be, create the proper mental preparations lest ye be cast into the asylum.

"The story is not about the world becoming a dystopia, but rather, the universe becoming infected with multiple holes and rifts that it essentially erases itself completely, leaving behind one lone thing: the listener."
