about

II: Chrysalis continues the story of a new entrant into EVE, a network of interconnected individuals, whose shared consciousness manifest as a living forest. When the new patient is tranquilised following the shock of their realisation, the effects are felt by all of it's inhabitants simultaneously, prompting it's operators to have a disturbing revelation of their own.

lyrics

Carried away by the undertow
Dragged by the sunlight to a world unknown

Blazing skies deliver me
from my catatonic fragility
I wander hopelessly
adrift on a godless sea

from my sunbaked chrysalis I rise
as my gaze begins to crystalise

Breathing the air of this elysian high
Lost in the empire of a bloodless sky

The earth around reaches up to pull me down
I stumble as I melt into the soil
The boiling sun takes hold
My roots below
A new connection starts to grow
The voices overwhelming
My breathless lips
And tired eyes
I realise
I’m not alone

Carried away by the undertow
Dragged by the sunlight to a world unknown

Go back to where you came from
An overwhelming voice inside
go back to where you came from
we see the evil in your eyes

The voices growing distant
My eyes are growing dark
There’s something in my bloodstream now
That’s slowing down my heart
It blurs my search for meaning
And others of my kind
The dust is kicking up to cloud my disconnected mind
Second follows second
And time slows to a crawl
As here I wait with baited breath
For paradise to fall

No sun, no sky
No remains or reasons why
My world is being swallowed by the ever growing night
And something reaches out to me
To pull me from my reverie
and stare into my soul
all at once
I am home

Woken from my slumber
(woken from my slumber
welcome to your future)

A forest the size of an ocean
Speaks with a voice like a tide
Unrelenting, unforgiving motion
Stirs something stronger inside
When it calls I’m powerless to fight it
Because part of it is part of me
My will and my ambition is inside it
Adrift on a godless sea

Woken from my slumber
We are one another
Woken from my slumber
We are one another

Tear Apart
who you are
build it back
stronger

Breathing the air of
This elysian high
Lost in the empire
Of a bloodless sky

This fading light has touched my soul
An ever changing world of my own
And all I want is truth and meaning
Caution shapes my every feeling
Could this be the way to answers I’ve been searching for?

All these things I have become
Have only made me more
