01. The Other Half Of Me

Watch my back, cause it will be in a grave next week
Who's to know, who's to calculate
Life is meant to love and make mistakes
If I ever had a side that could bold face lie
And get away with it every time
It would be the man inside my head
Am I here or lost again?
I keep telling myself this isn't how the story ends

I've come to paint the sky white and black
And when the morning comes I won't be looking back
I know there's still beauty in the colors left to see
Somewhere inside I'll find the other half of me

The lines we break that make the shape of everyday routine
A step above the waves and chaos is simply me
Where's the heart and passion?
Don't hold back
The frames that make each day unique as we proceed
Progress ahead, the past cannot be lived again
I keep telling myself this isn't how the story ends

Who's to know who's to calculate
It's the mystery
Life is meant to love and make mistakes
You're not lost
I'm not dead
We are moving side by side
We are looking straight ahead
Watch my back, cause it will be in a grave next week

02. Throw Me In The Jungle

I'll leave my blood in the city
Throw me in the jungle
I can finally say I'm ready
Throw me in the jungle
Just let my lungs fill with smoke
Leave only my skin a match and a stone

We'll leave no corner left undone
The shadows run deep in the constant sun
As streets unfold we find our muse
She wears many faces, she speaks our truth

Even if you're not the same
I won't turn my back on you
If I arrive to find myself letting the worst
Of you taking the best of me
You're taking the best of me
Throw me in

Should I trade sand for salt?
The elements seem to dissolve us all
In the end this is positive change
No matter where I stand no matter where I lay

This will be the light you live with
With a heart of fire
Set my body ablaze

03. Free Fall

I fucking lost myself again
In the heat of the moment
It's a lost cause, I know it
I try to be open

Still this feast will unfold
You dine and you know
How you corrupt my mind
But you can never destroy my hope

I lost myself again stuck in a free fall
You play the game - you always win
In the heat of the moment
I lost myself again, your spirit is killing me
Stuck in free fall - pictures and memories
You play the game - you always win

I know things will remain the same
I know I didn't fix anything

So I aim to pretend this won't happen again
You can disrupt my mind
But you can never destroy my hope

You can laugh, you can smile
Feel your heart is open - let your spirit free
In this light I think I'm starting to see

I know that you're leaving me
And I wish I could feel apathy
Every time I close my eyes
All I see is your anatomy
A taste of what it used to be
Pictures and memories

04. Illuminate

Stand back and illuminate
Your presence begins to shape
History is bound to change
Stand back and illuminate

In this wreck I'll start to form
A new reason to believe again
It's hard to see the misery and doubt you breathe
I never thought I would see the end of your existence

Another dream that was broken from the distance
You build resistance, now I'm indifferent
Now I believe in nothing from you

A fate to face the world in secret
You never thought you could love again
After a while the dream was dead
A way to connect is all you needed

I'm ready to know, ready to see
I keep on searching what connects with me
The sensation of dissociation
Give me something to bring me peace
We are all searching for integrity

Another face, a human counterpart
Behind a mask to deceive us
You're holding on and you know it's all a lie
Time to leave it all behind

05. The Sleeping And The Dead

As I witness, you fall behind
I continue and start to rise
Now you're after a droning daze
To fall back into sulk in your shame

In connection we find a game so obvious
Planned from the start
Can't explain why it distracts us

I'm delirious and the air is thinning
The room is spinning and I am sitting
Every breath I'm consuming my own doubt

It still keeps us alive
See there's an evil that's outraged
Still it keeps us alive
Resistance plays at our heart strings

When the weight comes down
You reject it, just accept it
Thinking you need out
You create it, you can escape it

This urgency you feel each second will never leave
Don't ever think it's the end

Alive to keep us reckless
With toxins in ours veins
While basic operators follow directions and play the game

What you say in your head is not what you tell the world

Destroying all my fears
Just as the picture is about to come clear
Dissemble
Falling to the ground
Shattered on the floor
Picking up the pieces as I

06. Tidebinder

Unbind me from this cage I'm living in
From which I can't escape, I need to get away
Unbind me from this prison, controlling, so demanding
All colorless and grey
I can't take this, expectations are getting in the way
Living in silence - sheltered and afraid
If this is all that life is, then get me the fuck away

It's the timing, reveal yourself
Now unbind me
A cry for help
Open your eyes and make your story worth while
Reveal yourself

We've already come this far
Now it's much too late to give in
Into security, it's frightening how numb it feels
Deny, don't descend into the grey

Running from your issues is not a strategy
Restart - invent a new reality
A cry for help

Unbind me from his cage I'm living in
From which I can't escape, I need to get away
Unbind me from these shadows - expanding, suffocating
So dark and full of hate
As I'm leaving, opposition is holding me in place

07. Resilience

It came in waves
As cycles divide and unite us
It comes in waves
These visions are unsightly

The day you walked in
Cycles divide and unite us
You should've stepped down
These visions are unsightly

Who have I become what have I done?
I wish I had a path to choose from
Treading down every road
Will I see you now
I'm not ever backing down

When the page turns over
I will be found again
When the wait is over
This is our stomping ground

Regret is not an option
You know I've seldom pondered
Relief is such a pure fragile motion

Death is not an option
The story is not over
It's unlikely will we die

Resilience is our power
Driven by our actions
Our lives are here and now

08. Goddess Of The Dawn

It's time to react - it's holding me back
If the design was built to fail, can we avoid our absolute destruction?
Could you feel a sense of doubt
The first sign arrived and showed us something real

Don't hide away, don't consume and delay
Begin to trace the truth of our ways
Feel the need to see a direction
So we color in these imperfections
I can safely say it's love that connects us

When the weight of the world starts to break you
Gravity brings down to reality
Will you lift up and join me in the clouds, or stay planted to the ground

Will you cleanse your hands and eyes from future corrupted minds?

Escape from the body the bones and the flesh
Integrate soul in galactic distress
Layers and years, tension and fright
The creatures beyond us in disguise

09. The Louder The Sound, The More We All Believe

Confined in our own fashion, we rise
Fantasies lie in your nightmare
You're not sticking to the point
So we're igniting every fallen dream
Fantasies lie in your nightmare

I know it's more than a dream
You and me so alive
A fading puzzle with one missing piece
A silent figure, no words to speak
I see the faces, the masterpiece
It's getting brighter and hard to breathe
Steps we've made to set us free
As we ascend the virtual grief

The louder the sound
The more we all believe
There's no time for living
With a haunting enemy in our minds and in the people we meet
Let's lose our minds and be set free

The world we know turns at a constant speed
Like lightning we strike
Like thunder we breathe

10. Warlords

The sirens cry "emergency!"
Head to the fields
A dying light from deep inside emerges free
Time to face the weapon in me

The way a demon crosses in and crosses out
Change frames, hallucinate - will you freak out
We saw the faces looking in, looking around
Take shape, manipulate
Where are you now?

Generation dead - your way is out of control
You are unfulfilled
You can't go back on what you said

Separate from your disguise
You look disrupted
Undo your mouth from all the lies and be confronted
It's obvious, unjust and terrifying
Don't crawl back to where you were hiding

We saw the faces, the danger in our hands
No room for saviors, we'll lead ourselves until the end
We see the embers start to fade
You wait around for something real
As the embers start to fade
You wait around for something real
Something you could feel
This is the risk that we all take
To start again or start to fade
We are the Warlords

11. River Of Time

Take what you need - forget the rest
As we proceed in our distress
As the world turns the beauty leaves the dark failing mask you run to
While we face our disaster

The world keeps spinning faster

I can't take this - I won't make it
Its hard to relate when I hear you say
You tried to destroy me
Such cheap dishonesty
You failed to ignore me
Now you're descending
All the times we fought to avenge time
You lay down and surrender
Come up and take away
Broken dreams, unforgiven failures

This river of time
A fortune of gold
Enslave my crown
Revive my soul
I guess we're fighting the hours
So make each moment yours

I'm approaching the edge in a final defensive stand
So we're living it up and we're throwing away the plan
We're all in

You claw you fight but you always drown
We siege to be the true heroes now

In the failure I gained knowledge
In the memory I was let down

This river of time
A fortune of gold
Enslave my crown revive my soul
Down stream in absence circles expand
Direct the folds on a line
Take my hand

12. The Composer

And so we begin...
Frame by frame, we pick each vision
Who is your controller?
Who is your composer?

You're in denial and it's hard to paint the picture
You've reached the end and it's time to consider moving on
Don't let this pass you by
Keep moving on

These complicated fragments are going over my head
When confrontation comes you scatter with regret

We all need to listen
We all need to see what's on display
Rebuild what we've envisioned
Fighting a battle no one will win

Infatuated passion. we know we're all the same
Our dedication has us full of intensity

And so we conclude
Frame by frame, we pick each vision
You are the controller
You are the composer
