The opposition Carcinogenic sweat that hides The persecution These hidden walls keep us aligned Yeah, they keep us in line Fourteen hours more Covert tonight The operation A covert plan to get outside The consecration An archetype of a will that shines Shining alive Will you die or can we keep you alive?
When there is a machine gun on every corner You won’t see me
When your every move is monitored You won’t see me
When there is a federal eye in every household You won’t see me
And when it’s all too late You won’t see me
Ten A.M. · Snapcase End Transmission ℗ 2002 Craft Recordings., Distributed by Concord.
I walked green miles of jungle / I walked through yellow miles of pain I crossed starvation’s desert / Watched dead rivers swell with rain The song of insects filled the air / Nights in cites of despair Where killer’s sons said, son beware / And all the roads from here to there I sailed the sea of desolation / Dropped my anchor there Plumbed the depths of isolation / Walked its length and was not scared Went from end to end to end / And then from there I went again The road that only this one knows / Off to nowhere here I go Illumination comes so hard / Makes me see but leaves its scars At times I wish that I didn’t know what I know now Thought and thought until I lost my mind Looked and looked until I went near blind The path is fair but so unkind At night the highway’s diesel roar / Speaks to me and tells me more Than any book I’ve ever read / Or anything you ever said With silent eyes inside / I watch myself and worlds collide The seasons burn and crack my skin / I stay outside and live within

This was the theme song or the Anime “Serial Experiments Lain”. It has never left my head from the first time ive heard years and years ago.
The song reflects & anime (to me), the disjointed, etherial, and dark atmosphere, like there’s a thing just out of your reach, but can’t quite hold it or see it.
Once you seek it, however, it’s heavy, foreboding, and descends upon you without warning.
And you don’t seem to understand A shame, you seemed an honest man And all the fears you hold so dear Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you And you know that it means so much And you don’t even feel a thing
I am falling I am fading I have lost it all
And you don’t seem the lying kind A shame that I can read your mind And all the things that I read there Candle lit smile that we both share
And you know I don’t mean to hurt you But you know that it means so much And you don’t even feel a thing
I am falling I am fading I am drowning Help me to breathe I am hurting I have lost it all I am losing Help me to breathe
I am falling I am failing I am drowning Help me to breathe I am hurting I have lost it all I am losing Help me to breathe
Ah-oh, yeah Ah-oh-oh, yeah
I am falling I am failing I am drowning Help me to breathe I am hurting I have lost it all I am losing Help me to breathe
