The Walk
Periphery (Distort Songs) Lyrics

Reach into the void
To delve into the unknown and uncertain

Touch the heart of darkness
To understand and confront the deepest fears and doubts

Reach for the light
To strive for hope and positivity, despite adversity

Feel the hand of god
To sense a guiding presence, whether divine or internal

The uncertainty of my existence
The lack of clear purpose or direction in my life

Can be decided by choice of a path I must walk
My choices and actions shape my identity and future

So, sick monotone culprit
Addressing a negative influence or thought pattern within oneself

Come on down and we'll talk about it
Confronting and addressing the issue, seeking resolution

Bow down to the gods
Submitting to external authority or ideology

Or keep on walking further
Continuing to seek and explore beyond familiar limits

On the cusp of our enlightenment we march
Approaching a breakthrough or realization, driven by curiosity

With the sun at my back
Moving forward, leaving behind past failures or regrets

I take my first step outside shading my thoughts and perceptions
Approaching the world with a fresh perspective and openness

Done from the truth I'll never run
Refusing to shy away from difficult realities or moral convictions

Be it the light or the shadow
Acknowledging both positive and negative aspects of life and oneself

I walk in hand with all
Choosing to connect and empathize with others, despite differences

Born of nothing
Acknowledging one's insignificance in the grand scheme of things

My thoughts are unconditional
Refusing to be swayed by external influences or biases

And I despise the façade of the original martyr
Rejecting the idea of suffering for a cause as an inherently noble or desirable act

Deep with the void
A sense of emptiness or uncertainty within oneself

Higher
The desire to transcend or rise above current limitations or challenges

Searching for the light
Seeking hope or positivity, amidst darkness or difficulty

We leave this world behind
Embracing change and evolution, leaving behind past selves and experiences

The violent twisting of the fates
The unpredictable and chaotic nature of life and destiny

The eminent collapse of our current state
A sense of impending crisis or instability in the world
