about

The title track from TesseracT's forthcoming album and first single
Daniel Tompkins, the band’s vocalist, had the following to say:
“War Of Being is a fight for acceptance, a battle of existence and a resistance against ego. It’s a struggle for control as we cut through the white noise of reality. It’s the need to know and identify with oneself, to accept and understand what we stand for and who we are. There is an urgent need to ‘Tear the mask away’ and reveal your true self.”

lyrics

WAR OF BEING
In the beginning I was told /
That the life in you ran cold //
My tears turned to dread /
With words of life and death //

I was sold a lie /
My future in disguise //
You chose to be deviant /
Always deviant //
Always desperate /
Binding //
Debased conscience /
Soul mate //
Faceless /

Now stare into the light //
Circling beyond /
To never release the grip and pressure //
The rising intent /
To birth and release the darkness within //

Tear the mask away //
Breathe another way /
Tear the mask away //
To uncomplicate the patterns /
That we all feel //
Keep the flames at bay /
Live another day //

Tear the mask away //
Facing one another /
Now elevate my understanding //

My body’s fading //
Tomorrow came for me /
Rushing in and out of me //
I want it all /
Give me everything now //

Tear the mask away //
Facing one another /
Now elevate my understanding //
Elevate my understanding /
Don’t exacerbate my perception //

A hidden sign amidst the cold //
A serpent's eye /
With grinning teeth beneath it //
A cold surprise you won’t deny /
You pay the price and keep it //
I sold a lie amidst the cold /
A sudden cry //

I sold a lie amidst the cold //
Running high /
Grit your teeth and bear it //
A faint surprise, overtly bold /
Stand your ground and mean it //
I sold a lie amidst the cold /
Running high //

I sold a lie amidst the cold //
Running high /
Grit your teeth and bear it //

The words I whispered followed you //
They lit a light in you /
That you might not have found //
To dream of flowing locks untwisted /
And auburn eyes glistening as you weep //

The words that I whispered //
When it all began /
Did they shine a light on you //
You don’t understand? /

To dream of flowing locks untwisted and stormy //
And auburn eyes glistening as you weep /

Raise your eyes, notice me //
Raise your eyes, notice me /
