Tracks



01. Natural Disaster

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
