Tracks



01. Anamnesis

Our connection breaks, buried beneath what we were
So much at stake, no more to give
Our conscience bears every broken scar
Let memories fade

No more to gain, count what we've lost
Again from the start or are we too late
To forget what we've made and become who we are
Or will we let this escape?

Now perceptions change, unveiling all untruth
Distance between so far, uncertainty so strong
To say that's the way it is, this is what we've got
Is just not enough

Are we drowning
Lost, unclear
Or realising time has seen this through
Recede or to
Concede and
Say that I’ll bare it all
Forgive this worn retort
But God, there’s nothing left for us here

I'll be there
Tomorrow can't be seen
Embrace what may rise
Push through on the other side

Enter the unknown (We'll see this through)
Bring truth to what can be (with who we'll be)
Embark without fear (without fear)
Face yourself on the other side

(You know that)
I'll be there (I’ll be there)
Tomorrow can't be seen (Cannot be seen)
Embracing what may rise (What may rise)
In light while we’re alive

02. Entrancement

My child, don't you cry
You are on your way to me
Wooden pyre, stack it higher
And on your way up ask, is anyone really free?

You will follow cheap advice
You will swallow every lie
Follow what I preach to a T
And only then may you speak

Part the seas of thieves and liars
Pulling strings on base desires
A day may come when you stand and resist
A day may come when all this shall cease
But it won't be today
Give your mind to me

Living life always
Afraid

And until first steps you take
Here is where you'll stay

Down here…

Only chance of escape
Question all the way

And there will come a day
And there will come a day

03. Organic Hard Drive

A world inside of me
That I’d rewrite to be free

But with my head in my hands
Will I cease to be

Amnesia, the malady
Blind will lead blind

Unless we hold in our eye
A need, a plea
Don’t forget
She won’t forget

Sonder
Wonder

Around we go
A lonely road
To nowhere

But why walk alone
In dissonant apathy
High time we
Sync to one pulse

04. Offer

Light on the hill
A chance to reconnect here by yourself
A wall builds within
If freedom’s past, a life, a chance
To go my own way

I want more than this has to offer
I want more than this has to offer

Lost and found again
Embracing new horizons, foreign lands
The time drawing near
To make a choice, an inner voice
To guide along the way

I want more than this has to offer
I want more than this has to offer

Bright, a new day
Reflections of the light inside
The heart of Man
Illuminates
The darkest times and despaired minds
A part for all to play

05. On The Way

Sold to me the mountains, the sea
And the morning sun
All between the lines that will read
Of a tale uninspired

Cold machine
Life unseen
It's a long way home

The soul will seek a life complete
On the long way home

In the moment I saw
The cost of illusions
The need I had to run and hide
Open and bare, softly
Is what was needed then

With all fear aside
Slowly dissolving all the lies
Breathe all this in

Show me, remind me
I won’t forget this time
Now beneath these stars
The way seems so clear

06. Digital Ritual

Enticed by design
A world behind your eyes
So sink right in
Traversing time with
Nothing but your mind

A breakthrough or a lie
Contrived of what’s not there
Though with this time
Know that you could
Give us your all
The insight your own

07. Face The Sun

Come on now, you're ready
Forward escape
Farewell
Go light the way
Or stay here

Further
Higher
Lighter
Face the sun

You could have your golden chains
They’d keep you safe in the dream they create
But bound with quiet desperation
You would take them to your grave

Harder
Longer
Lonelier
When you chase the sun

But a wave of your own you would make
Leave behind the world you’re sold and embrace
Dreams untied from all expected aspiration
Stoke the flame before it fades

Fire set alight in time
Reveals where you are
Creating space for the new

Gods in disguise
Creators of our lives
Salvation, self-defined
Form the new world
There's no better one to see

Endowed with years to come
But mind your wars
‘Cause fear is blind
And there's still time
To stray too far
Your lie, your word
Make your choice

Endowed with years to come
So mind your words
As they can bind
But there's still time
To light the way
Align with truth
Face your choice

Further
Higher
Brighter
When you face the sun

08. Zenith

Oh and the world we’d create...

Through the storm
The mist
There's new beginnings
Stand reborn
In the wind
With so much to offer
Reform
In the wind
With so much to offer

Buried deep
Cold self-beliefs
Unfair standards and
Honest failings
It’s sad to see
Your reality
Descend into
Unloving stories

But always in reach
A moment so free
Unguarded you’ll face
Your own self-deceit
Words manifesting
Reverberating
So mind what you say
‘Cause you might be listening

Of what chance to breathe at all
Alive, home as just one
While one of the whole
To honour or claim indifference
So lost within our own worlds
We so often forget

How much remains unseen
Serving only self

Alone, severing a tie
Self-interest at the zenith
Atone with a life's word
A beacon to shine a light on
What we’re capable of

Untold, only time will show
Will we lead or fall in line
When all said and done
How will you become
One more to see it through
Who will you be for us now

As one under the same sun
Bright enough to light up
Our home, our divine connection
A mirror, the reflection
That we’ve known all along

Are we strong enough
To harden the will of our word
