Tracks



01. Below

All of my stories are below (Below)
Beneath the surface cannot grow (Grow, grow, grow)
Curled and naked I defer (I defer)
To shaky thoughts all in a blur

Every single fear I'm hiding
Every little childhood memory
I bury
Every single fear I'm hiding
Every little childhood memory (Bury)

And I will lie, lie
Keep it all together
Lie, lie, lie

Sitting on top of the façade (Top of the façade)
Building a tower to surpass (Surpass)
I can't remember why I'm here
Only why I need to disappear

Every single fear I'm hiding
Every little childhood memory
I bury
Every single fear I'm hiding
Every little childhood memory (Memory)

I will lie, lie
Keep it all together
Lie, lie
Will it last forever?
Lie, lie
Keep it all together
Lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie
Keep it all together
Lie, lie
Will it last forever?
Lie, lie
They keep it all together
Lie, lie, lie

02. I Lose Hope

At my peak
I turn weak
I end up losing hope
In my grief
A relief
I end up losing hope

At the dawn where I began
With a goal and a simple plan
Started walking towards this day
Seeking refuge for my soul
In this empire I control
Full of confidence I've made my way
On my path, a desire died
Getting bent and set aside
By the bitter fight to survive
Looking back on my every sin
Thinking of what could have been
I carry onward, feeling alive
Made it to where I am today
This is where I wanna stay
Still, I feel like I feel like I fade away

Feeling like it's all falls down
Out of sync

In my mind
What I find
As I search every code
I lose hope
On my own
I atone
For the plan I once wrote
I lose hope
In my mind
What I find
As I search every code
I lose hope
On my own
I atone
For the plan I once wrote
I lose hope

Undermining the state I'm in
Losing hope when I'm bound to win
Taking cover to hide from shame
Getting lost with my disguise
Unable to open my eyes

Surrender a winning game
Fly away
Turn around
Stay

In my mind
What I find
As I search every code
I lose hope
On my own
I atone
For the plan I once wrote
I lose hope
In my mind
What I find
As I search every code
(I end up losing hope)
I lose hope
On my own
I atone
For the plan I once wrote
(I end up losing hope)
I lose hope

At my peak I turn weak
I end up losing hope

03. Observe The Train

Quieting the inner voice, do not reject
But keep on breathing
Observe the train and see it leaving

Breathe in - breathe out
Release, let it all out
Breathe in - breathe out
Release, let it all out
Breathe in - breathe out
Release

Simplicity of being here without attachement
The senses are freewheeling
Allow the body to receive it
Acceptance is treatment

Breathe in - breathe out
(Breathe in - breathe out)
Release, let it all out
(Release, let it all out)
Breathe in - breathe out
(Breathe in - breathe out)
Release, let it all out
(Release, let it all out)
Breathe in - breathe out
(Breathe in - breathe out)
Release

Don't force it, the goal is not to feel electrical, angelical
Let it flow, the change won't be radical, it's gradual
Don't force it, the goal is not to feel electrical, angelical
Let it flow, the change won't be radical, it's gradual

Never let it get to you
Just start again and keep on breathing
Inhale, exhale, breathe in
Go where he is leading

Breathe in - breathe out
Release, let it all out
Breathe in - breathe out
Release, let it all out
Breathe in - breathe out
Release

Don't force it, the goal is not to feel electrical, angelical
Let it flow, the change won't be radical, it's gradual
Don't force it, the goal is not to feel electrical, angelical
Let it flow, the change won't be radical, it's gradual

Breathe in - breathe out
Release, let it all out
Breathe in - breathe out
Release, let it all out

04. By My Throne

In the spring, uncovering
Painful edges, lingering
Natural pace
Finding its place
Natural pace

By my throne
A stone
Rough and raw
On its own
Once revealed
My cave
Won't be taken by the wave

I would face
An empty void
Insecure and paranoid

Hopeless fight
Out of sight
Wrong direction
Wrong direction
When I'm right

Hopeless fight
Out of sight
Wrong direction
Wrong direction
When I'm right

Worn and beaten
Curved by the tide
Calm rock by my side
Worn and beaten
Curved by the tide
Calm rock by my side

I will be bruised
It will get tough
Might be hidden
Might get lost
Never hard to find
Never ever left behind

I can let my sorrows die
I can let my vision fly
Always there
Still on guard
Got my back
With no regard

Hopeless fight
Out of sight
Wrong direction
Wrong direction
When I'm right

Hopeless fight
Out of sight
Wrong direction
Wrong direction
When I'm right

Worn and beaten
Curved by the tide
Calm rock by my side
Worn and beaten
Curved by the tide
Calm rock by my side

05. Alleviate

When I am far from home
I feel blurry
When my weight is gone
There is nothing
Whenever I go wrong
I hear the same old song
Voices, from below
I fear it never goes away

All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my faith
All I could do in the end was wait
United with my fears
I'll alleviate

The loop goes on and on
Until my mind is gone
Gone in circles
The barricades are strong
It has been all along
Have to accept it
The tower can't be torn
Before the cape is worn
Losing control
It's the only way of living

All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my faith
All I could do in the end was wait
United with my fears
I'll alleviate

All I could do was wait
Laying down with my faith
All I could do was wait
Now I'll alleviate

All I could do was wait
Laying down with my faith

All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my faith

06. At The Bottom

Flickering fire, a thirsty flame
Burning whispers, repeating my name

Dying reminder, igniting my words
Leading me down to an explosive burst

Like a candle out of time
When the wick is burning out
Relieving tension to a final hope

I have been here before and I have grown
With the thoughts I can free
When I'm alone

When I'm at the bottom
Right at the bottom
Where I grasp
For a handle
At the bottom
I'm at the bottom
Where I shine
As bright as I can

Hey, I wanna let it out, let it out
Hey, I'm gonna let it out, let it out
(Let it out, let it out)

Sinking conclusion, unstable spark
Ready to leave this welcoming dark

The day made the chaos
Inadvertent pain

Forging the key to unlock my chain
Freeing myself from the destructive reign

When I'm at the bottom
Right at the bottom
Where I grasp
For a handle
At the bottom
I'm at the bottom
Where I shine
As bright as I can

Hey, I wanna let it out, let it out
Hey, I'm gonna let it out, let it out
(Let it out, let it out)

I'm back to where I once became
Stranded in the uncharted
Will I ever be the same?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

At the bottom I have started
To find my inner strength
Again

07. Distant Bells

Daft notions of pitfalls
A shaft built of distrust
Getting rid of the infancy
What used to be the remedy

Where have I gone?
What still remains?
Pitfalls

I've been around for all these years
I hear the sound of distant bells
I've been around for all these years
I'm on the ground yet again
I've been around...

What still remains?
Where have I gone?

The craft of living
The art of forgiving
The art of forgiving

Where have I gone?
What still remains?
Where have I gone?
What still remains?

The start of a new world
The fresh leaves uncurl
The shed has been torn down
My bed is no longer a safe zone
No longer a safe zone

And I've been around for all these years
And I hear the sound of distant bells
And I've been around for all these years
And I fell to the ground yet again

08. Foreigner

My congregation is in flames
I can't seem to find my aim
Complete lack of logic sense
Still trapped within my own fence

Feel just like a knucklehead
Just can't realized what's left
I've had enough of this facade
Time to surpass once and for all
Time to surpass once and for all

It's a fight to stay alive
For my light has gone missing
It's a fight to stay alive
It's a fight against myself
It's a fight to stay alive
It's a fight against my imaginary hell
It's a fight to stay alive
It's a fight against myself

Became a foreigner in my
In my own head
My sword is double-edged
Might have to put away my sledge
Might have to put away my sledge
Sledge

It's a fight to stay alive
For my light has gone missing
It's a fight to stay alive
It's a fight against myself
It's a fight to stay alive
It's a fight against my imaginary hell
It's a fight to stay alive
It's a fight against myself

09. The Sky Is Red

Fire
Fire
Fire

The sky is red again, red again
Uncontrollable impulses coming my way
Stripped of all logic sense
My head feels so dense

Falling down endless shafts
Submission giving way at last
Feeling suddenly brave
The rage is all that is left

Is there any chance of recreation
Of what I used to feel?
Is there any chance of recreation
Of what I used to feel?

Wire
Around my sanity
Fire
Is the only force inside me
Wire
Applying pressure on me
Fire
Only feeling left inside me
Wire
Around my sanity
Fire
Is the only force inside me
Wire
Applying pressure on me
Fire
Only feeling left inside me
Wire (Wire)
Around my sanity
Fire (Fire)
Is the only force inside me
Wire (Wire)
Applying pressure on me
Fire (Fire)
Only feeling left inside me

Trapped inside the flame, the flames
With no chance of escape, escape
My own little parallel universe
Confines me to my worst impulses

Wire
Around my sanity
Fire
Is the only force inside me
Wire
Applying pressure on me
Fire
Only feeling left inside me
Wire
Around my sanity
Fire
Is the only force inside me
Wire
Applying pressure on me
Fire
Only feeling left inside me
