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

Across is a project that aims to convey messages and tell stories through concept albums. Always striving to avoid pre-conceived structures, composer Manuel Zuzek develops a guitar-centric sound that wants only to be true to itself.
It feels like going through an inner journey, an experience dense in both thought and feeling, a deep sound with an air of mystique, it's breathtaking throughout. Across
