about

Brainforest is Unzyme's debut album, composed in 2008-2010. Not willing to wait for anyone's approval, Unzyme wanted to take the first step on their own.

Track Name: Lose your place
You don’t want to lose your place
You don’t want to lose your face
You don’t want to slow your pace
You know you’d never get back to the top

There will be no such day
when you have seen it all
There won't be such a time
when you have been through it all

You cannot give up your fight
You cannot give up your might
You cannot show off your fright
You know you’d never live up to your wish

There will be no such day
when you have seen it all
There won't be such a time
when you have been through it all
Track Name: Everything is a lie
All my desires were implanted in me right from the start
I was following guidelines like they were my will
- official instructions for leading a life worth a damn

Once I pulled out all the drapes in my head I understood
that even leaders take their orders from someone
they strive to keep their reign and reputation intact

Tension grows between abilities and expectations
I want to find out what I can be
Mind controlling conspiracies can’t hold me back
I’m switching sides with trusted enemies

Perhaps my resistance was part of a plan to show their power
my rebellion was set up before I could walk
By now I know for sure that everything is a lie

One day I’ll learn how to pull the strings and join the gods
shake the scales of justice and see how far can be gone
through cryptic clues I’ll show what’s really going on
Track Name: Jesus in my trunk
Jesus in my trunk, he’s shouting “You got it wrong”
Jesus in my trunk, he’s screaming, but I turn up the radio

“Crucifiction was awful shit indeed
- back in the days it could not be framed.
Crucifiction was needed to impress
and to harness the heads of the crowd.”

Congregation is better off without him – he’s not that pretty!
Congregation couldn’t do without the constructive sorrow

“Resurrection was needed to convince
to close the case on the son of God.
Resurrection was set up with the best
it might have been the best show ever.”

I will find a way to conceal the truth
show the man why it’s better for the world to keep on searching

Jesus in my trunk, I’m driving far up north
Jesus in my trunk, I’m terrified of letting him loose

“Obligation to save everybody on earth,
daddy told me to play ’til it’s done.
Obligation to be the moral guide
- it was too much, had to set it up.”

I will find a way to conceal the truth
show the man why it’s better for the world to keep on searching
Track Name: Another crossing
Are you gonna spend all your life
in the hallway
Are you gonna wait all your life
for your turn to come

fatally continuing normally for now

Are you still awaiting for a call
to get chosen
Would you rather be on the road
that you crossed for good

If you refuse to take control
I have got to let you go
Track Name: After years of ecstasy
Why after years of ecstasy
I still keep on looking
for an opportunity
to change everything?

Now I could cut the deep grown roots
let the tree drop all it’s leaves
plant a seed on it’s old place
forget how it was

I want to spend my life learning to know your heart
Feeding air to this common flame we have
When you’re out of my reach we’re not apart at all
Feeling close though you’re million miles away

I am happy to receive
some words that hurt me so
they will break some boundaries
that hold me up

wild dreams have shown me how
things could be arranged
it could happen where I am
I just need to be sure
Track Name: Excuses ran dry
One more day before
I shall look into the mirror
Just a little more
I can handle greater strain
Treat me like machines
I am made of steel and power
The more I do today
the easier is tomorrow

A long time ago I got lost
into the maze of reason and logic
the ultimate test to beat
Everyday I knew I could’ve flown
out of there into the light
but I thought I’d lose my sight

Open up my eyes

I’m susceptible
to spontaneous combustion
Just a tiny spark
could set my fuel tank on fire
I can carry on
as long as I serve a purpose
One more day and I
will run out of excuses

A long time ago I got lost
into the maze of reason and logic
the ultimate test to beat
Everyday I knew I could’ve flown
out of there into the light
but I thought I’d lose my sight

Open up my eyes
Track Name: Crush this relic
When you look into my eyes
do you see a wall reflecting?
I wish you didn’t

When you seek for ways to live
I’m not an option on your list
you see, I’m only slowing you down

Find out,
you’ve got to find out
Even if you don’t believe in love
you can’t live in doubt

When you ask me to get nearer
can you hear my fear take over?
It’s a reflex

When you offer me a refuge
I feel invited to a cage
You see, I’m only letting you down

Find out,
you’ve got to find out
Even if you don’t believe in love
you can’t live in doubt
Track Name: Covered clearance
Through a manhole into a drain
I disappear beneath the chaos
I need to feel the veins of this town

Dirtwaterstream via gates and filters,
reveals the way to a covered clearance
- a sanctuary for the curious minds

Freedom is choosing a way
without knowing
what else could be found
- comfort in darkness

When you step to the deep,
your perception is altered
Meet a life not based on light

I wander to a hall of silence,
where sun is torn by rusty bars
and dissolved to a pond of gray waste

Corridors breathe and whisper
I may find something beautiful
- a shadow of another loner?

Freedom is choosing a way
without knowing
what else could be found
- comfort in darkness

Free, so free
Track Name: Terracentric
I was born under the wrong sun
Terracentric dreams never turned me on
From the moment I laid my feet on the ground
I wanted to jump right off the Earth

I built a vessel to defy the speed of light
I needed to comprehend other forms of life

Attributes of the human race were too strong to get rid of
imagination couldn’t reach beyond senses
Everything I wanted was a consequence of human touch
I couldn’t think in any other way

I got where I thought I would belong
among glowing gigantic gas beings
It was better than I had ever hoped
- suddenly I felt like telling someone

I sent a distress call from Helix Nebula:
“Get me back to Earth, where I may be perceived.”

Attributes of the human race were too strong to get rid of
imagination couldn’t reach beyond senses
Everything I wanted was a consequence of human touch
I couldn’t think in any other way

Floating next to the moon I had marked as a vessel docking point
I realize that I don’t have the means to return back home
Track Name: Trespassers
I met you for the first time on a mountain, you were surprised
of how I caught you there gazing on falling stars

You invited me to rendezvous in a science fiction movie night
I came late, but you told me what had happened before

No open door was left untrespassed, for we
always had to look inside and dive in trouble
We always took every chance to bring strange
scenes from a fantasy to reality

You drew a slim zombie on my hand, it was gorgeous
I showed it to my friends, they said I’m a fool in love

I told an epic fairytale of a beetle’s journey to Liechtenstein
you almost didn’t believe that I just made it up

I never wanted to own you or to be in command
but then you realized that you had left something unfinished
I never wanted to admit that this could be the end
but then you closed your eyes and I got banished out of the tale

No open door was left untrespassed, for we
always had to look inside and dive in trouble
We always took every chance to bring strange
scenes from a fantasy to reality
Track Name: Anniversaries
My eyes don’t prove what I say
Even if I shout, no one hears a thing
This uniform has turned into a disguise
Every promise I made is dying of age

I don’t want to spread this neurotoxin
even if it’s brewed inside of me
I don’t want to take down anyone else
Who could ever live like this?

My arms don’t do as I say
Even if I strike, nothing breaks down
I want to celebrate the anniversaries
of every due date that I could not outrun

To paint my vision I need unseen colors
There are no words to state what I need
Technology will not exceed my dreams
I won’t settle for anything less
