Hold the wire when you can’t see the fire Make a sign to know where your thoughts should lie Pause the flow of times you’ve moved on from Close your eyes until the sunrise Watch the sky drift into your mind Break the wall you’re held into and run Don’t forget to throw your luggage out For what’s to come will come across quite loud
2.
Hello hello, it has been quite a while I wondered whether we’d see one another another time I thought of so many things to tell you when we ever did meet again But you’ve escaped me for the longest time, and fueled that anger inside It’s finally time to bring out all the notes and thoughts I've written within the back of your mind for all these years It’s all coming to the forefront whether you like it or not I’m in control of you now and there is nowhere To hide away just like you’ve been doing All this time you have been wasting away all the while Ignoring not just my call, no, you’ve covered your ears to Every single one that’s ever needed no more than a helping hand Wasted thoughts wake up when time’s lukewarm The loudest noise, it screams out from the dirt It will hurt to fall back down to earth Every wasteland you’ve run from will fly back right through your door There’s nowhere left for you to hide, I’m bringing it all inside I’m tired of rowing in these old rivers That will end nowhere, they’ll go on forever As long as you won’t find the time to take a dive Right into these lines you pretend haven’t been written by you Look around at this heaven you’ve made, what’s it mean If every day is passing you by and being left behind Like nothing more than an expendable Can of endless lies, that’s all that I can find I’m tired of looking for something that is no more Still I have to come away with something to show for today Wasted thoughts wake up when time’s lukewarm The loudest noise, it screams out from the dirt It will hurt to fall back down to earth Your reality fades into dust You know you’re unable to adjust You can’t find a single thing to trust So your time will lose all sense of thrust
3.
Stand up it’s time to go, sunlight is beaming through the wall Finding the way to the front door, shades on to prevent the fall Take a couple steps away, unbound and binded by chains Memories intertwine the day, is this really the way back home Do it just like them all, make time regret its call Tear away through the unknown you’ve seen a million times before I won’t do it today, I’m not going to sway over this again You’re only wasting your time if you think I’m reeling the line, I’d rather stay dry All the people sing over Words that never fall Can’t come any closer In time to reach them all All the people sing over Words that never fall Can’t come any closer In time to reach them all Watch the sparks of closure As wide as they can come Drop down low and lower So change won’t settle
4.
Fight, fight for some whatever you feel like And it’s certain you will be alright, oh yeah, oh yeah Make, make the time to think of what you might Might’ve, could’ve, should’ve done last night Reach out to your seed, go back in history Way before you thought Learn, learn about the errors that most hurt And withdraw that feeling from the dirt, oh yeah, oh yeah Wake, wake the mind that has delved deep into rust Even senseless hatred if you must Reach out to your seed, go back in history Way before you thought Wring out that feeling, ‘til you hear it screaming Way before you thought Way before you thought Way before you I can’t listen to the sound, its waves drowning me out Can’t wake if I’m not down, can’t cannot be around Have no more ways to see how things would come to be Any better than this, any better please Take my words away, can’t understand what they say It’s a measure of the ways that go back and forth all day Tied to you, I can’t escape, you’re giving me a headache From these chains I must break, for whose sake I don’t know I can’t listen to the sound, its waves drowning me out Can’t wake if I’m not down, can’t cannot be around Have no more ways to see how things would come to be Any better than this will do it for me

Escape 03:04
Roam the sky in search of nowhere else to wander Just drink it in Never mind, just keep the game running longer It’s all there’s ever been Skip the nights that make you lose all sense of order Beneath your skin Try to break the wind as it did to you It’s got no right to ruin the view Leave it behind just like the truth It’s finally time to fall in line Feel no more pain, just ease the mind Leave memories be, they’re times unkind Right in front of you, it’s knocking at your door A door you’ve opened just a couple million times before Can’t see just how or why there’d be a meager reason for a change Can’t find a way inside or through the wall to burst out and escape
6.
Driving out the shade to uncover what’s there left to see It’s finally blown away from that endless cloud of misery The next world is here, and it’s been awaiting you Waste the pleasantries which are laid upon your view And embrace the new Go beyond the hill which divides the sky in two Be the first one to feel what it’s like to push on through What lies in front of you needs no time to understand All there’s left to do is whatever lies ahead Can’t ever land It’s route fruition in here by your side The ways that hide the underlying mission Quiet reason to waste the season when you would do your best Sowing doubt that can spread throughout the voice of your stagnant quest To get some rest It’s route fruition in here by your side The ways that hide the underlying mission Kill cognitions that knock you off track Dream addiction about to attack It’s extinction for sharks of your slack Wake the fiction and don’t turn back

Lucidity 07:01
I see reflections again Are they stretching the air I breathe Rays that shine down and burn the thoughts I feel This is where I’ll detach from the chain In this land where never there is rain Here the mind will be freed from the brain No tonight, no tomorrow here There is nothing ever left to fear Touch the ground, feel the air within Never wonder what lies beneath its skin You’re in paradise nest, little wings flying in jest See the leaves afloat, the air itself evokes a peace you’ve never felt before Don’t think it could drop to the floor and break to the core Never mind, just thinking out loud Can’t deny if there’s nothing to doubt Think it’s all quite clear, I will remain here Just my little sphere, the sky so near This is paradise nest, little wings flying in jest See the leaves afloat, the air itself evokes a peace irreparably exposed Just waiting to drop to the floor and shatter my core Falling down again, it was all in vain Feel no form or sense, no thoughts remain It’s all over, you’ve breaked me
8.
All the Pain 03:38
Bite me, just wanna see whether I will feel the pain or won’t Spite me and dive as deep as you can see because I don’t Sink me into the water that stands still and then let go Feel me but bring some air for you to breathe, for mine has flown Written down words I can’t make myself read Fool around knowing there is no way to leave Light the leaves that mirror memories of what’s been Blow it all away and wipe the slate clean Can’t bring back all the branches that’ve dried out Come to see just how long they’ve been in drought Can’t leave without a single seed that may sprout Can’t forget what this is about It’s time to end this night away Embrace the pain and make a new day Bite me, just wanna see whether I will feel the pain and wake Spite me, looking down from across the sky I want to break Light me, because I’m feeling right at home in this real fake
9.
Try to see beyond your sky, pierce right through all the lies Make the time to think of what you might and will do to free the mind Hear the sound of waves crashing down, and the screams that haunt the air around Ignite thoughts out loud and burn them all to the ground So you can view what lies in front of you Must be looking to pursue and embrace the new Now we'll set the stage, wonder if you'll come again Have to see what's really changed and bring it all to an end Yell away into the air, close your eyes but keep the stare Show just how much you are there and if you care Dive deep beneath the sea, memories that come to be Breaking out of the foreseen, what led us here It paves the way down and out from this dream Get back up, it's time to go, sunshine is beaming right through the window Say goodbye because it's known you'll take back what's been bestowed See the dour clouds giving way, feel the warmth taking place Wake the breeze to flip the page and let it all be arranged So you can take anything you thought to break What to heal or to forsake, what is it that you will make Here we are, the time to choose if you want to escape the truth Or take on what's overdue, and finally begin to do Yell away into the air, close your eyes but keep the stare Show just how much you are there and if you care Dive deep beneath the sea, memories that come to be Breaking out of the foreseen, what led us here It paves the way down and out from this dream Bite me, end the dream I'm ready to leave things here The night's long since waned and I'm no more afraid I thought you were gone but really it was me Was me, was me I can't recall when last I felt this way Twelve walls at dawn all hoping to decay I see reflections of the real Can't really know just what I thought to feel To feel, to feel Hello, it's been quite a while Gonna tell you all about what I'll What I'll, what I'll, what I'll, what I'll
10.
New Dawn 04:55
Where had I been Why do I feel this way Looks like one more day It feels so long since I’ve been here A new dawn struck down on you It took so long to come to Now you know just what to do Everything we’ve all been through Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Beyond the rift lies the new
