Born restless
Keep it inside You don't mind You don’t get it Born restless You're a natural disaster I won't belong to your world Open up the gates, light up the way I will not live secretly, I will not delay It’s where I belong, but in the night I'll stray Into the cold I creep Forward silently To avoid catastrophe There's no safe place for me to be As I'm deified and hidden in this underbelly Who have I become? Why so far? Why so far? Why won't you wait? Wait for me Die, writhe inside Diе inside, crystalize We'rе living out your fantasy But you'll die Writhe inside Crystalize Born restless Keep it inside You don't mind You don’t get it Born restless You’re a natural disaster Still I lay awake in the night The serpent in my eyes You take from me the world The serpent in my eyes The serpent in my eyes The serpent in my eyes In my eyes 02. Echoes
I was wrong and I'm ashamed
A twisting of fate had scuttled in And poisoned me The life I chose, it cost me dear I'm imprisoned by the truth Confronting seems the only way to lose Well I can't believe it no matter what I want There's ways to carry on Will you draw your fatal lines Up to the sky and cut through the clouds? And you call this a celebration As the lies flow from your mouth I had a choice to treat the pain I removed every trace of all that remained Time helps you stand alone I narrate my script Thеn hide it in this grave I interfеre with external sound From the jealous and the fools And it seems to me the only way to lose Will you draw your fatal lines Up to the sky and cut through the clouds? And you call this a celebration As the lies flow from your mouth With the nails removed I'm still alive with infected wounds I'm still in love but it feels too soon When the daylight is dead and gone The echo of a voice will come It's a dangerous world Suffocates and burns I would lie with you here, my friend I would stay with you to the end The end Don't be afraid to lose control Don't be afraid to bear your soul But I won't survive Won't survive But you've got to try You've got to try We were born to die It's a dangerous world Suffocate and burn Two voices lost inside the ricochet And what's deceiving one another Because you know it's a lie 03. The Grey
All you need is instant gratification
You desire nothing more Kill the weak then crawl back into the darkness Settle down and start your war I've been living life in monochrome I'm the grey upon the sea So entangled up in the brevity And the constant tragedy I see myself in the grave defiled It's constantly draining The anxiety is all mine It's like I'm bleeding through for you This is clarification that we're spinning out of control You don't care if I ever make it out alone I've been living life in monochrome I'm the grey upon the sea So entangled up in the brevity And the constant tragedy I've been drowning in the undertow In the face of every fear, in the eye of the storm Longing for a touch of serenity 'Cause it's overwhelming me I'd say my piece but it takes a while I'm missing the right words My feelings are on fire It's like I'm bleeding through for you This is clarification that we're spinning out of control You don't care if I ever make it out alone I've been living life in monochrome I'm the grey upon the sea So entangled up in the brevity And the constant tragedy All you need is instant gratification You desire nothing more Kill the weak then crawl back into the darkness Settle down and start your war 04. Legion
Fill my eyes with blur
Stare into the sun Linger just enough To blindness I succumb A monastery of hate swells deep and forever Spectres rise and descend into the river A memory dwells A monastery of hate swells deep and forever Forever, forever, forever, forever I can be guilty free Don't you see? In a world designed for you and me Holding on to echelons Messianic deformations Control nations We're all holding on I can be guilty free Don't you see? In a world designed for you and me Holding on to echelons Messianic deformations Controlled patience I bind you Now you believe in nothing I bind you Now you believe in nothing In my dreams I was innocent My skin unbroken, eyes open On a distant sphere Before these walls surrounded me Made me disappear Thrown into the grey In the ruins I remain Lead me home From the only world I've ever known And branded heathen I have lost the battle on both sides Lead me home into the sun I've been dreaming Anxious to the core I don't want to feel this way Same as yesterday Please lead me home 05. Tender
You said we were everything we needed to be
We held the key together And we spoke tender words All we needed was to breathe You touched a part of me You dream a lie You said too much Did you ever think a moment could mean this much? You need to turn away It's true, it's true that I hoped for the resolution Did you ever think somebody could give this much? And so I bleed for you Did you ever see the path you lеft for me? So I attacked you all, until another war bеgan And so I attacked you all, until my vision turned to black My silence killed it all No faith in love remains We needed more time Still so many things to say Lost in time forever Now so little time to find the gateway to each other Still so many things to say Still so many things to say But no words could ever change The ground beneath us caving in Nothing will remain Still so many things to say Still no faith remains It all ended here 06. War Of Being
In the beginning I was told
That the life in you ran cold My tears turned to dread With words of life and death I was sold a lie My future in disguise You chose to be deviant Always deviant Always desperate Binding Debased conscience Soul mate Faceless Now stare into the light Circling beyond To never release the grip and pressure The rising intent To birth and release the darkness within Tear the mask away Brеathe another way Tear the mask away To uncomplicate the patterns That we all feel Keep the flames at bay Live another day Tear the mask away Facing one another Now elevate my understanding My body’s fading Tomorrow came for me Rushing in and out of me I want it all Give me everything now Tear the mask away Facing one another Now elevate my understanding Elevate my understanding Don’t exacerbate my perception A hidden sign amidst the cold A serpent's eye With grinning teeth beneath it A cold surprise you won’t deny You pay the price and keep it I sold a lie amidst the cold A sudden cry I sold a lie amidst the cold Running high Grit your teeth and bear it A faint surprise, overtly bold Stand your ground and mean it I sold a lie amidst the cold Running high I sold a lie amidst the cold Running high Grit your teeth and bear it The words I whispered followed you They lit a light in you That you might not have found To dream of flowing locks untwisted And auburn eyes glistening as you weep The words that I whispered When it all began Did they shine a light on you You don’t understand? To dream of flowing locks untwisted and stormy And auburn eyes glistening as you weep Raise your eyes, notice me Raise your eyes, notice me 07. Sirens
I am waiting for the sirens to echo
Try to close my eyes and stay asleep Now I can't afford to be so reluctant When we can't afford this life Look away Turn away Walk away Run I am waiting for the violent conclusion Silently we sit, holding hands What about all the seeds that we had planted? They won't get their chance to grow Look away Turn away Walk away Run Look away Turn away Walk away Run I am waiting for the violent conclusion Silently we sit, holding hands When all shadows are gone With our eyes open, who remains? Take my hand, dream of a better land Nothing between us but the sea Won't you come now, sail to me? Take a chance, I'll light the way Leave the grief in yesterday Speak the words you've got to say Your voice is enough to give me strength in love Will you run away? Or will you fight and stay? Reunited, face our fear together Or will you run away and start again? Or start again? 08. Burden
I throw it away
Walking the silent road It comes to me so vividly With the brush strokes Mechanical man Dangerous and without a plan So silently come to me I'll wash it all away So I'm left to be a castaway And bury all this weight I covered it inside And watched it all decay Take it all Until I can't breathe at all And the trembling is all I can rely on Mechanical man Desperate and without a plan So silently come to me I'll wash it all away So I'm left to be a castaway And bury all this weight I covered it inside And watched it all decay My mind is hidden from itself I can't remember anything My past in pieces I'm afraid and I don't know what I am And I don't know where to turn But I'll learn I'll learn Take aim at the heart of the sun This life has just begun I hear it call to me again To greet my hubris with a grin A spread of jokers in my hand To take me down and down again I feel my bones are weakening This weight I cannot take it The gateway is gone Abandon the sun I feel the dawn of reckoning When the veiled meets the world I feel your hold is weakening When I sing I will be heard I will be heard I will be heard I wish I could be heard I will be heard I wish I could be heard 09. Sacrifice
I am a shoulder and a crutch to hold on to
Rise up, consider me yours Are your memories worthy of the fall? As tender moments lay scattered on the floor Distance is nothing when we dream together Rise up The words I leave behind will last forever Rise up And watch the seasons change Slow down Show me that you're in control Stand up 'Cause I need my vision changed Because I'm older I'm wiser I am almost there Because I'm older I'm stronger So much stronger I was waiting for another voice to say You're shut down Show me that you're in control In control Able to be left alone Have faith You're in and out of circulation Treading lines Getting stuck at every sign So turn your back on misery Now because you're older And wiser You are drawn to me Can you hear me? No one can take this all away from me I was waiting for another voice to say Can you hear me? I am almost there When I can' t find my way to your grave You show me a million ways There's a comfort in the yearning I saw the life in your eyes A deep emptiness and sadness as the years went by The never ending swell, let it begin Will we become one with our teacher? I am a shoulder and a crutch to hold on to Rise up, consider me yours Now because we're older Stronger We are all those things (Drawn to me) We were never meant to be Stronger Wiser So much wiser We are almost there We were never there |
