Extremophile Elite Lyrics

To see one's self is hard to explain
Last night was the first notion of this
Once again, real life and dreams are whirling among one another

Space flight navigator
A walking mirror
Galaxy drifter
Entwined together

To grasp the other hand
To hear the other speak

Space flight navigator
A walking mirror
Galaxy drifter
Entwined together

To grasp the other hand
To hear the other speak

Carve one's skin out of their own soil
Sends chills throughout my body
Carve one's skin out of their own soil
Sends chills throughout my body

Wake up, wake up to a dirt covered surrounding
Machines, machines in the distance
Wake up, wake up to a dirt covered surrounding
Machines, machines in the distance
Something far too familiar

The world comes to a screeching halt when I cover my ears
Lift off the hands and the claws work again

Digging graves
Deeper graves
Digging graves
Deeper graves

The machines deafen my ears with such extremity
Constant maze from digging graves
I bury my head in the dirt
It all stops

This sends bliss throughout, throughout me
Upside down dreaming
The sound of Earth soothes my entire body
Upside down dreaming
The sound of Earth soothes my entire body
Upside down dreaming
The sound of Earth soothes my entire body
Upside down dreaming
The sound of Earth soothes my entire body

Real life and dreams are whirling
A hand lifts my head out of the dirt
Pulling hairs from what seems to be my brain
I see him, me, us?
The walking mirror

Eyes slowly open as dust clouds surround me
Surround me
Surround me

Speak to me freely
I am listening
(Surround me)
Speak to me freely
I am listening

The clanking of machines scream in the distance
I strain in order to get up
Soon I stumble down a dirt hill and see a buried man
Just his skull is underground

Once again, real life and dreams are whirling among one another

Walking into a certain state of
Walking into a certain state of
Walking into a certain state of desperation
Walking into a certain state of
Walking into a certain state of
Walking into a certain state of desperation

Carve one's skin out of their own soil
Sends chills throughout my body
Carve one's skin out of their own soil
Sends chills throughout my body

It is a corpse
Something is buried where his head once lay
A note, my note
My hands shake and I fall to my knees
Slowly read

Please know, I love
