tesseract isimli progresif metal grubunun 2. albümü altered state'in ikinci şarkısı. şarkı 3 parçadan oluşan of matter süitindedir. of matter bir ilişkiyi başlangıç, çatışmalar ve bitişi kabullenemeyiş evreleriyle anlatmaktadır. retrospect'te olanlar olmuş, fırtınalar kopmuştur ve altında sığınılan köprüler yakılmıştır.

vokalde yine ashe o'hara ağlatmaktadır. kendisinin sesine karşı bir zaafım bulunmaktadır.



sözleri de yazayım da tam olsun:

burning bridges as i cower beneath
trying to salvage the debris
my devotion tied around your waist, lest you fall
no one seems to sense the strain, no one seems to know

burning bridges as i cower beneath
trying to salvage the debris
my devotion tied around your waist, lest you fall
no one seems to sense the strain, no one seems to know

i don't begin to proclaim that i know
i can't continue down this road

dwelling on what has come to pass
no force alive will bring it back
i would know

i can feel the pressure getting steeper with every life lost
you hope that i won't see the light of day in time to come

with no conviction founded just
judgement contorted based on lust
give me strength

your assumption brings to a conclusion of no consequence
and i refuse to play into your hands for your appeal

inadequate
inadequate
i know
i know
i know
i know
i've hoped
i've hoped
you'll see me
