This be the place of Cthulu, squid-like scourge of the sea.

Blank Pages Lyrics - Track 1 Tetrafusion - Dreaming of Sleep
TRACK 1 - Blank Pages
It was never meant to be
A distortion of reality
With the evidence after the fact
The story is always in tact
Faith in the future
Leaping forward
Without looking
Down
Bullets falling on the floor
Perfect order
Drawn into the plan
Cue the press, desensitize
Perfect order
Drawn into the plan
Bound to the script
I can't read ahead
Leave it to the playwright
Blank pages to be read
Ink to the paper
Action before plot
The moral of the story
Later to be taught
Connecting the dots
The picture’s in plain sight
Number to number
The pencil knows what to write
The sequel before it ends
The playbook forced to bend
Telling tale after tale
No chance for it to fail
It was never meant to be
A distortion of reality
With the evidence after the fact
The story is always in tact
Echo Chamber - Track 2 Tetrafusion - Dreaming of Sleep Lyrics
TRACK 2 - Echo Chamber
When all you hear is noise,
The loudest voice is right
Always right
When all you see are walls,
There’s nowhere left to go,
So you are
Drowning out the voice of reason
Amplifying your own
Normalize your own perception
You’ll never be alone
Reflections of yourself
Extended out for miles and miles
With mirrors all around
The outside seems so far
So you are
Drowning out the voice of reason
Amplifying your own
Normalize your own perception
You’ll never be alone
Surrounding yourself with reflections
You bask in your conceit
Patching up every single hole ‘til your
Echo chamber’s complete
[We’re all the heroes of our own stories
There’s no need to see the other side
If you can rationalize it
I didn’t realize it at the time,
but I was building a circle around myself
A construct of my own creation
A construct of sameness,
Of opinions that reflected my own
Reflections and shadows of myself]
These reflective walls do not confine me
Your shadows do not define me
These shards of glass no longer binding
My construct is crumbling to the ground
And the outside is blinding
The Void Lyrics - Track 3 Tetrafusion - Dreaming of Sleep
TRACK 3 - The Void The last thing I remember Is getting closed inside Powerless and helpless and Petrified Trapped inside this capsule of a life I can feel my world shifting, drifting Beyond my control Fighting just to breathe Blinded to the outside Knocking from the inside Let me out! I can only see this world, But I know there’s more outside Hidden beneath the surface I can see it in my mind Spiraling away Everything I’ve known, destroyed Drifting into nothingness, We are drawn into the void Floating through the endlessness Spinning in this weightlessness Disconnected consciousness Infinite nothingness Blinded to reality Disembodied, I can’t see As I wake from hypersleep Drawn into the void I can only see this world But I know there’s more outside Hidden beneath the surface I can see it in my mind Spiraling away Everything I’ve known, destroyed Drifting into nothingness We are drawn into the Endless abyss Metamorphosis Floating through nothingness Weightlessness This altered consciousness Endless abyss Metamorphosis Floating through nothingness Weightlessness This altered consciousness Colors and shapes surround me The world is spinning fast Thrown to the edge, Trying to sort out my past I was on track, But now it is clear My intent was so sure, invariable Now I am forced to face the end
10,001 Lyrics - Track 4 Tetrafusion - Dreaming of Sleep
TRACK 4 - 10,001
Have you heard this before?
The same flow, the way it goes
Like a familiar face
In an unfamiliar place
You know you’ve heard it before
We all know the way it goes
And they all know how
You’ll just listen anyway
We’ve all heard it before
The same song a thousand times
This was never meant to be
Wish I could burn it to the ground
Can you hear it?
Can you see it through the sounds?
Don't you worry someday,
They may figure you out?
Have you heard this before?
We all know the way it comes
Familiarity
Is what you’re wanting it to be
You know you’ve heard it before
We all know the way it goes
It sounds exactly the same, but
You’ll just listen anyway
We’ve all heard it before
The same song ten thousand times
This was never meant to be
Wish we could burn it to the ground
Can you hear it?
Can you see it through the sounds?
Don’t you worry someday,
They may figure you out?
Formulaic imitation
Void of any innovation
Not a single deviation
All of this for your fixation
Formulaic imitation
Void of any innovation
Not a single deviation
All of this for your fixation
Closing your eyes
But somehow
You always find the way
Finding yourself
Miles and miles away
There must be a way
To bring us back home
Sisyphus Lyrics - Track 5 Tetrafusion - Dreaming of Sleep
TRACK 5 - Sisyphus
It’s so clear, it’s so apparent
So why don’t you understand?
In every single case
You maintain the upper hand
Living in our separate worlds
We’re selectively connected
Like light through a glass
My words are misdirected
My input is always refracted,
Rejected or misunderstood
Dismissing other perspectives
As if it would do any good
We’re speaking the same language
But sometimes I’m not so sure
The glass is becoming darker
Your intentions are growing more obscure
Are we from such different places,
That you cannot see my side?
Would it be so difficult
If only you had tried?
My words hitting a wall
The paint never sticks
But the more I try
The messier it gets
You only give me part of the picture
The rest is left to chance
Withholding bits and pieces
You’re setting the stage in advance
Tallying the wins and losses
Always keeping score
Forever pushing forward
Always wanting more
And so you’ve traded everything
For your idealistic goal
I know you thought that you were climbing,
But you only dug a hole
There is no pinnacle, no summit
No destination to find
It’s not just luck, not happenstance;
There’s a pattern that you’ve left behind...
Endlessly pushing to the peak
Only to enjoy it alone
Your journey in vain
A pointless mission
Endlessly pushing to the peak
Just to tumble right back down
A life made meaningless
Through bare repetition
Aimlessly pushing to the peak
When will this self-righteous quest
Exhaust your need for
Narcissistic ambition?
Forever condemned to endlessly seek
Yearning for goals, that you’ll never reach.
Striving so hard for some imaginary goal that you see
It’s clear that nothing’s meant to change, and there is nothing to grieve
This endless struggle plagues me, time to cut my losses and leave
No longer burdened with this restlessness and compromising
Faces of time are shattered on the floor, the smoke is clearing
Simulate_Captivate Lyrics - Track 6 Tetrafusion - Dreaming of Sleep
TRACK 6 - Simulate_Captivate
Do you really know
What you can feel?
Is it real?
Do you know?
Can you take in
What surrounds you?
Is it there?
Have you noticed
The system all around you?
Do you really know
What you can hear?
Is it real?
Do you know?
Can you see
What surrounds you?
Is it there?
Have you noticed
The glitches all around you?
I can see changes in
Everything I’ve ever known
Breaking down
Virus, glitches
Infiltrate your system
Programmed logic
Coded in the system
In what my brain could never see
The hollowness in the fabric
Of my reality
I am the system
Awakening Lyrics - Track 7 Tetrafusion - Dreaming of Sleep
TRACK 7 - Awakening
My eyes are opened to the same room
The same place, the same time
My surroundings without any variation
Everything is by design
My goals are set, my path is clear
This constant loop, my destiny
And as I carry on my daily undertaking
I hear a whisper from within
Don’t you see what’s happening?
Coming to the realization
That there’s something more
The story we’ve been given
Isn’t our own
Navigating my subconsciousness
To find out where the puzzle ends
Coming to the center of my soul,
The core of myself
My eyes are open to the nature of this world
It wasn’t always what it seemed
And as I try to organize my own intentions
I’ve finally woken from this dream
This foreign voice that seems to lead me
Strangely pulling from within
And as I try to break out from my programmed nature
I realize the voice is mine
I finally found my destiny
I’ve come to the realization
That there’s something more
The story we’ve been given
Isn’t our own
Navigating my subconsciousness
I found out where the puzzle ends
I have reached the center of my soul,
The core of myself
