The Storm

Let me tell you
An unheard story
Deep blue oceans
Moonlit night sky
Five minutes only took three seconds
It happened so fast I didn't even realize
I lost all my possessions
Even faster than water falls
He stood next to me I looked again
The walls became the floor, he was gone.
Nothing I could do
Drifting away
Losing you
Drifting along
On the high waves of the sea
Diving into my conscience
Should I risk my life to save him
Will I confront the gods of the ocean
Drifting away
Losing you
Drifting along
On the high waves of
A roar of thunder as the wood cries in pain
Clouds of rain are starting to come down
While I can only watch you fall
(Watch you fall)
Time’s slowing down
Time’s slowing down
Time’s slowing down
Time’s slowing down
Time’s slowing down
Sinking deeper
Time’s slowing down
Time’s slowing down
Time’s slowing down
Time’s slowing down
Sinking deeper
Sinking deeper
Time’s slowing down
Sinking deeper
Just let me pass
Ocean keeper
Time’s slowing down
Time’s slowing down
Sinking deeper
Sinking deeper
Losing it all
Losing it all
Just let me pass
Ocean keeper
Time’s slowing down
Time’s slowing down
Sinking deeper
Sinking deeper
Just let me pass
Ocean keeper
I’m losing it all
Losing it all
I'm losing
It will never stop sinking
Drifting away

Haste
05:37

We should know better
Than following patterns
Erase days as they go by
Desperately we adjust our needs
To what should become
our successful lives.
Bound to time we are
Fighting for decent scars
Never reminded
Of who we are
Why not enjoy the ride
Search for a better life
Why can’t we open our minds
And break the barrier
I’ve fought through eternal nights
Uncertain of the path that I chose to take
But I’m giving it everything
Knowing there is no escape
From this cycle of haste
My head keeps spinning ‘round
There is always something that troubles me
Am I lazy giving in?
It’s draining all of my energy
Bound to time we are
Fighting for decent scars
Never reminded
Of who we are
Why not enjoy the ride
Search for a better life
We just have to open our minds
We’re already there
I'm breathing to find
It's moving away from me
I'm living a lie
The things that I would say
The places I would go to
The dreams I'd recreate
While doors of gold close behind me
Finally I feel free
As the pressure’s relieved
Time won’t wait for you
Find the flame to pursue

Prisoner
06:48

I have lost my way
My mind in disarray
I wish I could but I can't let it go
There's not much left to change
Places appear inside my head again
Fragments of the past
Can't remember who I was or what I thought
Regret is what comes last
There's something in the air I can't escape
A prisoner of my own memories
Goodbye
You are from a day I thought I'd left behind
So why do I have to revisit it again
Every time
It seems to happen every time
Now I can’t find the way back home
How long will it last if there is no solution
To this confusion
To make these thoughts disappear
You don’t have to forget yourself
To feel alive
Take time to adjust
You could bury your old demons
But their shadows are meant to last
There is something in the air I can't escape up until now
'Cause I can't do this any longer
How do I survive inside this maze
If I keep stumbling upon dead ends
I have lost my way
And no one to relate
I'm on my own now
Fighting what’s inside me
I've failed myself twice now
As I try to break the rule
I wish I could
But I can’t let it go
I've waited far too long
With looking forward

Smooth Skin / War Within

[SMOOTH SKIN]
It's such a painful moment
When you realize
They can't keep lifting the weight
That's dragging you down
Stumbling through the night
They’ll never know
Tethered to their fleeting light
‘Cause I’ll never show
But without them the poisoning
Keeps seeping in and draining me
There's something trapped in here
Waiting to go off
It is fighting to break free
I can’t let it out
Let me out
Reach out here
Take my hand, we are here for you
You do not have to fight this war
On your own
[WAR WITHIN]
The gathering clouds taking away the light
Trying to resist but know it won’t bide
And so I’ll wait for the storm to take me
And then vanish without a sight
Come on then, let's fight
I'm sick of the long nights
Of hot guilt and cold ice
Of being haunted by my own glare
I will break free of this nightmare
The drain is clogged
The way is fogged
The road is blocked
I’m being sucked into
And so in the end, alone after all
But I know I'll win this time
Waging the war within

Vicious

Carelessly I want
Desperately I need
To be in this place
That's tearing me apart
Something gnawing me
Doesn’t go away
Trying to untie
The knot inside
Why’re you still here waiting to get out
You've been here all day, wasting your time
The digital river's consuming you
Suspend your work for now
You can't work in this state anyway
Having no hopes or dreams to chase
Maybe this is all just a phase
I just won't understand
Meaning and purpose are hard to find
Seeking a way to clear my mind
Without being blind I just can't
I'm stuck inside this place
Filled with melancholy
Trying to escape this maze
Only gets worse for me
Inside this cycle now
Fueled by guilt and doubt
Struggle to tell myself
I just have to find the light
Parasitic way of life, mindless waiting
(Wasting, expecting)
Dreaming away the chances you had
(Deceiving yourself)
Do you really expect
To get anywhere at all
Idling the way you do day by day
Do you really believe yourself
Saying you can answer the question
Just look away
Still stuck inside this place
Filled with melancholy
Trying to escape this maze
Only gets worse for me
Now, still inside this cycle
Fueled by guilt and doubt
All I have to do
Is just to find the light

Crossroads
04:40
|

Opportunities collide
I know it’s part of life
Just don’t ask me to choose yet
The arrow only goes one way and
It’s like I can’t speak my mind
My dreams fade in real time
I can’t deny the truth seems hard to find
Who are you
What’s your narrative
A fool are you
The answers are right here
Have I evaded this life for too long?
Afraid to cave in, can’t you see?
Pause, and count the minutes twice
You might not live that life
You're timing is important
Every move has to be perfect
Don’t forget anything wise
You will need advice
But leave it there
Get out on the road
Why does it take so long
A wave of ice cold water
Made me understand
How hard it is to find a fire
To get warm enough
Have I evaded this life for too long?
Afraid to cave in, can’t you see?
Don’t look for an
Easy way out

Luna

Sweet child, don't you know
You can't just keep dreaming
And forget your future
Don't fool yourself
You cannot and never will fly away
Luna, why can’t you
Just take me away
And let me fly
Show me the way
You should, you can't, you
Must get your head out of the clouds
(Get your head out of the clouds)
Perform, obey, focus
Don’t throw your life away
(Don't throw your life away)
She's so neglecting you should know
What has she done, so innocent
I built a paradise in the sky
A safe place to reconcile
Falling through the clouds again
Crashing back to the ground
Luna, I'm here after all
And now I
Can finally fly
