    Story Behind the Song
    This is probably the strongest TDOL track yet, and one of the most difficult to write. How does one write a song with a sterile subject and convey a heartfelt message? The words can't be explained without giving away the intent of the song, so the interpretation is given to the listener.

    Lyrics
    XRV

    There is a fallacy beyond your shield
    A fabrication you can’t reconcile
    When all around you crumbles like a brittle tie

    And the way you keep yourself concealed
    Is like a vacant threat beside that certain smile
    When deep inside you rings a tone you can’t deny

    Interior illumination
    I may be blind but I can see
    With XRV

    Code violated
    Exposure created
    Soul separated

    Imaginary screen that you hide behind
    Is like a window with the curtains pulled aside
    When high above you angry shells begin to fly

    And I can beat the static in your mind
    Into the place where truth and sin collide
    When far below you revelations fail to die

    If you’re looking for a reason
    I can show you all I see
    With XRV

    Imagination
    Alienation
    Disintegration
    Open resistance
    Shallow existence
    Torture so intense

    Unite the waves I generate
    There is no form I cannot penetrate
    If only you could see the pain I feel in you
    A mirror to your soul is free
    Without a trace of vanity
    I’ll share with you the mastery
    Reveal your agony
    With XRV
    My XRV

    Divine intervention
    A vision extension
    With pure intention
    Lie dominating
    Reanimating
    Mind liberating
