01. Reroute To Remain

It started as a whisper
Now try to dodge this roar
Unified, the most forceful way to go

Waste this one?
It's up to you!
We need this revolution

Destroy the pattern
Anything that separates
Across the times.
Who dares to follow?

For years we wandered these circles
Hold onto whatever lie gets us through

Design new latitudes
Find ways to channel bliss
Us defined, it's too fragile to neglect
Reroute to Remain
Reroute to Remain

Never want, to look back in greed
Can I please have your attention?

There are mountains to cross
For all that are willing
There a never ending treasures
That await you

02. System

I can not frame, that's why I lose control
I aim, I stumble and I fall
Our adaptation can't be faithful
Your world does not attract me

This is the end, you see
There's no more truth in me
As if you would deserve it
You are my enemy

I can't ignore the way you make me bleed
I hate when you throw my thoughts against the wall
Got to wake up and make a stand
Desperation forces another mistake
I count again...
I know who's to blame
My life in vain
Who said I was sane?
I count again...
I know who's to blame
My life in vain
Who said I was sane?

Follow your instinct
It usually takes you home
Don't let these words tear you down (down)
You see me hanging by the end of the rope
I tell you...

Slow, I go
And the wait seems to be over
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

I blame and run, sadly all too often
I dive into the day without your sympathy
I tend to try but lack the focus
Becoming a distant memory
What once was is quickly forgotten
All wrapped up inside
Delete all resemblance
I feel your relief

Slow, I go
And the wait seems to be over
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

Follow your instinct
It usually takes you home...

Slow, I go
And the wait seems to be over
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you
Slow I go and the wait seems to be over
All that I know is that my life has become such a waste for you...

03. Drifter

It's hard to believe
You could be such a disease
I can no longer separate what is real
Hope that fate will find me safe
All my reflections laugh at me
You made me hide my name
It just feels bad to say,
That there'll be another day
What you wanted was impossible to define
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright
What you wanted is a mystery to me
Building a room with no doors
Is this the last of me?
Wring the rag for the last few drops
Falling into infinity

04. Trigger

Have we lost the spark or a guide?
What's the latest on the screen?
Can't be too late to turn around.
I need all the help from you
I need to find something to blame for a long lost time

I am running from something I don't know
I am searching for something, which way to go?
I am trying to separate what's real
I am running in a wheel

Is it dark or is it bright?
What's the latest on the screen?
Can you please tell me my name
I haven't checked it today

I am running from something I don't know
I am searching for something, which way to go?
I am trying to separate what's real
I am running in a wheel

From green to red our days pass by
you Wait for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?
Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today 'cause there are only a few
The sign of times my friend

Avoid infinity?
Are you for real?
Just scratch the surface, and you will find
Something to blame for a long lost time

From green to red our days pass by
you Wait for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?
Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today 'cause there are only a few
The sign of times my friend

05. Cloud Connected

People like you;
you live in a dream world
You despise the outside and you fear the next one
It's in your dream
There's just one question
Should I kill or should I be left behind?
Sick and tired of all your complaints
This is the hour, we bring it down
I've come to realize
With every little glimpse you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected - cloud connected
You seem to be so introverted
How come we fail with all that is given
You crossed the line
You remember my name
Time runs backwards
As long as you are heading that way

06. Transparent

Consume all the obscene
Persuade the most hideous and ugly
Under every pile and stone.
A rebirth, for you to find
Freedom is to be able to go in any direction
So take the uncertain path
Open all your senses to new impressions
Act like all that was has vanished
Secrets left above the grave
It's not for one to keep.
You're all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken
See what became of their mistake
You know you lost when you feel transparent
One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don't lie to yourself.
Be at one with the wind (ever changing)
Even if it's a struggle
Make this your priority
Do not stagnate

07. Dawn Of A New Day

The thoughts from yesterday - forgotten
I like the way this new skin feels
Bring me splinters of tomorrow Collect the parts where
I win Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day
Never looked as good as this
Concrete breath and dust filled tears
A one-way ride to inner peace
I never thought I'd join the others
Those who use the dice to solve

08. Egonomic

A mass illusion
Blind men in a line
They smother their fires with gasoline

A strangers contribution.
Everybody's on the run
No clue where they are heading

A spineless attempt
Have we lost it completely?
It always ends up in a mess

A liar's ambition, praised like a king
Every day in every way we are getting weaker
You won't go far with the life that you're living
Every day in every way we are getting weaker

Slow and calculated
Afraid of the sleeping well
Never ever reach the goal

09. Minus

Drug me
Infiltrate my neverland
Like the floodtide drowning the shore
Drug me You're all over me.
You watch my blood begin to boil
I love that lullaby
Start me up again Electric spine - open mind
I leave you, negative behind
Watch me all in flames
On a butterfly I ride
Inhale the light, relax for some time
The world outside stays numb tonight
Free your mind, express the forgotten
The world inside is yours tonight
Please me, deliver the insane
In the chaos I find peace
Please me, remind the gods of my name
I believe there is one seat left for me

10. Dismiss The Cynics

Will we find a solution when we add all the numbers?
Like they are supposed to be?
But no one is close?start all over!
If we fail our expectations
We fall into the deepest void
Is there a limit to how many times we'll dust ourselves off?
What does it take for sanity to remain?
Dismiss the cynics?..maybe?..
The mystery of times
Listen to me carefully
It's you and me
That's all we need
Would you choose supremacy if it led to isolation?
Could you handle the solitude?
Would you still prefer the throne?

11. Free Fall

Mirror mirror,
How far will I go?
Despite the foundation,
I am falling.
Sweet reflection,
Will you save a place for me?
Where am I heading?
Could you grant me a haven?
For what I am punished,
Could I ever repent?

Mother Nature, I'm wide open,
Waiting for you to move me.

Don't keep it from me!
This is a free fall!
This is a free fall!

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
Define a way to stay alive,
It's like I'm living a lie.

Father time, every time I stop and feel,
You're there to tell me I'm already late.
Don't keep it from me!
This is a free fall!
I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
It's like I'm living a lie.

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
Define a way to stay alive,
It's like I'm living a lie.

I never seem to understand.
The time, the place, and who I am.
Define a way to stay alive,
It's like I'm living a lie.

12. Dark Signs

Held down, strangled and abused
Cut down to half a member
Left with his hand tied
Everything points in the wrong direction
All the joy disappeared
The negative has penetrated
Once he was in control
What's left, the faintest laughter
We're out of focus
We've lost control
Are you afraid?
I blame our ego and you call me names
Do you (really) want to be saved?
You're told that you're trapped below
And dark signs help to prove
You got to reach further for what life shall provide
Feeling pressure from the fold
He believes the dream is over
Drained blue eye - scorching fire
The whole meaning becomes undone.

13. Metaphor

You stole my pure intentions
You are the sickness in between Let me in
I'll bury the pain
You taught me to be sad as you
You almost made me take it all Let me in,
I'll bury the pain
You bend me and you shake me
You beg me then you break me
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
You made me feel like a sinner
Now you fear you'll die alone
Let me in, I'll bury the pain
The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I come this far?
The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I come this far?
I feel it's taking over
And everything falls dark
Break me open, the desperate cry
The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I come this far?
The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me
How I come this far?

14. Black & White

I am one with the world tonight
I am proud to be this far from you
You say that you have no regrets
But I know that you do
You told me someone stole the eye
I know him too
I've come to the conclusion -
yes, I know That between black and white,
there is no room for two
The scale might be wide,
but there is no need to be blind
Cause between black and white,
there is no room for two
I leave all of the grey behind I see clear,
I know that I'll find
You claim that you are innocent
But tell me who isn't
You think that you're going to be saved
There's no such thing as a saint
I've come to the conclusion -
yes, I know That between black and white,
there is no room for two
The scale might be wide,
but there is no need to be blind
Cause between black and white,
there is no room for two
black and white theres nothing in between
black and white theres nothing in between
I've come to the conclusion -
yes, I know That between black and white,
there is no room for two
The scale might be wide,
but there is no need to be blind
Cause between black and white,
there is no room for two
