A Declaration of Sound

Sequence A Declaration Of Sound immediately draws you in with its wild time signatures and flawless instrumentation. There is very little repitition on this album and several moments that other artists would've crafted an entire song around; Aviations however never hammer you over the head with a riff or chorus. They are almost always adding or removing layers or switching sections. This album took many listens to fully digest, and that is one of the greatest things about it. Easily 10/10. Favorite track: Outliers.

Silently free these mysteries, (wrapped in barred like cages) Turn to things that we can’t conceive Expending dark ties, no reach Searching for nothing, finding out some things, (With only theories) Streaming thoughts down collectively While they don’t know they don’t follow What’s in their heart. For centuries, we’ve believed Beyond the edge of emptiness Free these obnoxious ties Let passion be your guide Never strip yourself of a badge Protect it like nothing you have ever had Always adding up, forever fulfilling us When winter snow lays it tries to battle you For who’s colder in my mind When winter snow lays it tries to battle you For who’s colder in my mind This time we choose, What the world has done for us, A rhyme will be used We cannot hesitate Our hands made of steel With unstoppable force Work the bones turn the wheels This time we choose Or our lives will be used

When will you stop fighting? Changing soon only cures some things And right now, it’s your vows Right now, get your crown! Somewhat mysterious Was the time it took for us To make it or give in Just to make it roam home, Make it roam home We’re breaking through tonight. Just to make it roam, Just to make it roam home tonight. How will we ever hear them If were not even listening Can’t decide where to turn Oh there’s no hope in Feeding the flames! Striking fear into the hearts of the innocent We are nothing more, More than casualties of everything that they create! Go. Go. Go. Just to make it roam, just to make it roam alone. Open your eyes to see a wasted existence! Wake up and breathe this dusty air, I don’t have time for your blank stares That you must distribute, Destroying doors While we adventure yours Just to make it roam, Just to make it roam on home tonight Just to make it roam, Just to make it roam alone tonight Somewhat mysterious Was the time it took for us To make it, or give in Just to make it roam home, Make it roam home alone! Struggling fearsome rose, Stricken but sheltered it grows Withered with broken toes That’s how this story must go…

Reaching for paradise This time we’ll leave the past behind Wandering away From things that kept us safe This can’t be our fate We’ve been forsaken with no escape Fallen from the stars overcoming our flaws To prove we have what’s ours Want it all Is it true that this reality Brings you no pain or suffering This world was never meant to feast On the beauty of humanity Shadows wait to be watched as I make moves On my way Fallen from the stars overcoming our flaws Yet we still have these scars Though these winds have made us so dull I can’t be the one to let them know Seriousness has never been so faded Believe beliefs of anyone liberated The truth that has us torn inside and out With lies revived we can't bring about Our plans to obliterate What the past caused the future to survey It’s uncomfortable and honestly Just let it go Shadows waiting they watch as we make moves On our way Fallen from the stars overcoming all odds Now we must venture on We must venture on!

Out of time and while out of line Give them something to fall behind I’ve gone completely blind No, we’ve gone completely blind What eyes recall have been distorted With disappointment being converted To our fabricators fortunate failure Something more than life, Something more than our mission Complain for this was not possibly our decision There’s been darker clouds On days that had us crowded in nothing but doubt The sun is shining through The sun is shining through To cast away the sinister path And ease the journey and it’s crew Onto a new and rewarding task What you say can’t replace your acting face It hasn’t been too long since we started On the pleasant debate, On the pleasant debate To work and fall and work and fall again To trek on through and kidnap space Till the world sees us as no one but The ones who had set everything straight

Outliers 10:32
Take one second to look, Be afraid of what we retook, See the light inside hurry yourself confide A life worth living Hold on, hold on to your hope Our spirit has endured this pain for far too long These limitations on our minds are merely calculated lies, Stay thoughts echoing rationality (rationality) Bring beliefs to life Stand beneath starlit skies, In order to comprise Every meaning Finished in between the space of two frames It’s been replaying You can’t hide from gold, You’ve done nothing wrong though You can’t hide from gold, Don’t let yourself gloat Allow the tide to turn in Dare not let the Lexus win Olive tress must proceed to be On this planet to succeed Windows frighten you all Windows frighten you all Holding stories away with arms that we can make free Together in harmony That’s how it was when we were meant to be (when we were meant to be) Persistent thoughts that tribute to passion from you Passion from you, passion from you There goes my eyes. There won’t be a place without sun, With a will to wait and a heart to run There goes my eyes Take one! Second just to see Let Go! Free these memories There's Hope Buried in yourself confide. Our spirit has endured this pain for far too long Though accomplishments that signify the end, Of shaken and mistaken times Play on thoughts leave this tamed society But who are we to judge (We all are open now) We all are open now Build this up With hands of steel Bring me back to life of growth
