Tracks



01. Follow But My Heart

I've seen the end of the world
I've seen it die a thousand times
I've seen it all before
The beast is breathing down my neck, but revolution waits for none so I'll put my heart on my sleeve and pray to survive
I'll put my heart on my sleeve
This is worth the fight
This river is death, but I can turn back around
With my heart on my sleeve
And the beast breathing down my neck I wouldn't have it any other way this is the only way to live without dying
Revolution waits for none push forward through the noise push forward

02. The Contrast

Is this all there is?
No poetry, no shining light, nothing beautiful we got all we ever asked for
Because after fire there is only ashes
You, you are leading me to war again, you are leading me to war my love, you are leading me to war
But now we are right back at the start
With our backs pressed against the wall
And truth be told my love, I doubt we'll make it out alive
But I want you to know that this was all for you, and I would do it all again it was all for you
We got all we ever asked for
This is exactly what we wanted
I just thought it would be different
And so we are right back where we started
With our backs pressed against the wall
And truth be told my love, I doubt we'll make it out alive
But I want you to know that it was all for you, and I would do it all again

03. We Are Reflections

You are sick of waiting for a brave new day because no one promised you that it would come so you're taking today, taking today like it was your last
You have spent your years running from one hell into another, but still you sing in spite of your fear
I see myself in you
Determined to break if the world doesn't bend
The only promise that you ever knew was that this, this could be the end
Sick of waiting for a brave new day
You feel defeat breathing down your neck
You were given your dreams, and you're at war with the world your eyes are open wide, filled with beautiful music

04. Untitled

You wanted a beautiful death,
So you traded us in for a tailor made end
I've realized that I haven't said goodbye though I had tons on my chest, I had nothing to say been fighting the demons that rose in your wake, and it's been a long time since I've said your name
Did you find your peace or did it turn out the same, when you took the truth with you and left us? The questions remain
Did you give up or did you give it all for love?
Forgive me for leaving you long before you left us all I guess I already knew that soon I'd be without you
All you wanted was a beautiful death

05. Lighthouse

When everything is falling down
Because you chose to walk your own road
When the darkness is closing in and you have fallen to your knees can you find what it takes to get back on your feet again? When you have drifted to far away
Will you know before it's to late, or will you lose control?
When everything is falling down,
Because you chose to walk your own road
Can you find what it takes
When there is no light to guide you home?
No guarantee that the end will justify the means
And can you find what it takes with no light to guide you home?
Sink or swim
You have drifted to far from shore the lighthouse is out of sight swallowed by the waves
This is a test of strength
For those who think they've seen the darkness better brace yourself because there's another closing in
In the face of your darkest fear, when your resolve is wakened by all the scars that your demons left, and your soul comes pouring out will you lose control?

07. Cape Zero

My soul is turning black
I'm losing everything
Each heartbeat is ruin, adding insult to injury surely I've been the fool letting go like this
My soul is turning black
I'm losing everything
I am what I am, but time is changing me
Surely I've been the fool letting go like this I'm losing everything
I need to feel alive
Lost, I got so lost
I am what I am, but time is changing me I've been facing all my devils at once
I've been chasing something already gone and honestly it's the only way I'll never win, but I am scared that if you take away the fight there might not be a single thing left of me
I need to feel alive

08. Ikaros

Breaking out, I'll be taking back the sunrise
Your songs are sirens calls, and I am not going to follow this place is static and cold
Your songs are sirens calls, and I am not going to follow I won't follow
I can't follow you
Giving all I've got to find another way because
If I stay I'm already dead, just a hollow-hearted shadow I'm taking it back, taking back the sunrise
And if I only get this one, it will all be worth it
This place was never meant for me and if you lose your faith in me
I don't give a fuck
Because this feels like freedom we have never been the same and if you lose your faith in me
I don't give a fuck
Because this feels like freedom

09. Un.Safe

I feel myself sinking deeper in and I begin to repeat myself trying to catch my breath while waiting in the eye of the storm
I'm leaving the sun I love and I've done it more than once, but if I get lost tonight I'll never find my way back home there's no other option I've got to face this on my own I'll head on, alone
I am sinking deeper and I begin to repeat myself I am waiting in the eye of the storm

10. Egypt, I Am Dying

so you've been on the outside looking in hoping to find your treasure there
and all along i've been praying for your return while throwing everything away
i threw it all away
you and i both know the truth; there is only one way out
you and i both know the truth; there is only one way out and i've been waiting
oh, i've been praying for your return
perfectly mismatched, forever out of time we'll bend each other out of shape And we will be forever out of time
drowning in each other we remain alone

11. Confessions

I know I need the lowest low
I need the darkness growing in my soul without it I'd be incomplete
Diving headfirst into unchartered seas, the only way to be truly free
The reaper walks with me, watching my every step, as I am watching his
The reaper walks with me
I am a product of my own design; dirt and stone polished to a shine I've learnt of actions and consequence
The reaper walks with me, watching my every step, as I am watching his.
The reaper walks with me
I've seen the face of death in the eyes of my own reflection, and I know that inside of me there is a darkness that I can't deny I walk a narrow path with failure pulling at my sides
But I vow never to give in and
Live my life by the words that I scream
