Mistakes 03:43
lyrics

Standing against my next creation Words are so rare Feeling again this suffocation wearing the air Condemnation Paralyzed behind my eyelids Words are slain and gone Dreams are down and dead I wish to never feel the quiet empty world inside my head I wish to leave Driving me insane I wish to scream and cause a riot Make the words and phrases rain I wish to make Learn from my mistakes Let me explain the state of play My cortex strives in vain My mind does not obey The only way I see the ending is to bite and meet the pain The only way I see the ending is to Trial and error with hush as my terror The light in the tunnel is slipping away The ever sage and wiser say tomorrow is another day I see the tip but tell that to the right side of my brain Paralyzed behind my eyelids Dreams of bane look drawn, surrendered All I ever asked the right side is to talk to me Dreams are down and dead I wish to never feel the quiet empty world inside my head I wish to leave Driving me insane I wish to scream and cause a riot Make the words and phrases rain I wish to make Never-ending Holding on to Losing grip Retry again My time is bending Not surrendering Wish I knew and learned from my mistakes Wish I knew and learned Wish I knew Wish I knew I knew and learned from my mistakes Wish I knew and learned from my mistakes Wish I knew and learned from my mistakes

Crowded Mind 04:20
lyrics

Staring at the mirror Seeing strangers stare at me Polar types confronting Some will talk and some will think Transient control Each with different goal Consequences deeply felt by all The blanks are here to stay They never fill and always seem uncanny Lost memories lie buried far away My heavy chain pulls down my brain Already I'm losing control Same host, different purpose All with origins unknown Fragments of my mind Piecing them together Trusting that the memories will make sense Instances of conflict Followed by denial Ending on a deal with price unknown The blanks are here to stay They never fill and always seem uncanny Lost memories lie buried far away My heavy chain pulls down my brain Already I'm losing control Forever in underworld Recovering on the floor Will ever get any better? Should I care what I've become? Lost, atrophied at the core Whenever in any reverie Reality Whenever in any reverie Reality gets darker Endless night raises over Kills the light Compromise my crowded mind

Stay Another Night 04:35
lyrics

Tonight we'll break the rules once more To win this fight and take control We must resist and not lose hope We will persist and climb the slope Tonight we stand in firing line Until their numbers will decline A dream we chased for all these years I'm asking you to Asking you Stay another night or face the consequence Start a violent fight or we will never win Now we wait for a brand new day We'll never let go Today's the day Cause tomorrow never comes for us Tonight we're here to sacrifice Ready to pay the price To roll the dice and not think twice Tonight It'll be their own demise Turn off their shining light and build a modern paradise Tonight there will be blood and tears Focus your eyes and ears Set up your gear and hide your fears Tonight we fight for what we think is right despite the pain and fright Tonight we fight until we see daylight, until our fire will ignite Until our brain cannot sustain a trauma making us insane Tomorrow rain will wash our pain and we will learn to walk again Stay another night or face the consequence Start a violent fight or we will never win Run towards the light and let the war begin, again Stay another night to crawl beneath their skin Is this the righteous side I'm on? When conquered foes are down and gone When victory brings forth a new dawn Is this the dark side and I just a pawn? Is this the righteous side I'm on? When conquered foes are down and gone Has winning lost its meaning? Demeaning our battles won Now we wait for a brand new day We'll never let go Today's the day Cause tomorrow never We'll fight forever

Not My Dream 03:24
lyrics

You keep showing up everywhere I look Hoping I'll approach your shiny bait and bite the hook Time is slowing down knowing I will have to fight Knowing you'll be throwing everything to your delight Happiness you promise Promising you're honest Your thoughts were never mine Your words have lost their shine The cure does not exist Or your face will meet my Stop telling me what I need Your thoughts were never mine Stop selling the same old thing Your words have lost their shine Stop selling me empty hopes The cure does not exist Quit yelling, it's not my dream Your face will meet my Oh, I'm sorry if I'm a bit hesitant But you come across as a cheap arrogant I've a precedent with this sentiment Your words have lost their resonance Even though I've been walking this same road before It's still hard for me to steer away I'm not sure where to run, where to hide or to make a detour Just keep pushing, I'll promise you there'll be a war But I will admit you're good at what you do I'm not afraid of telling that to you Just wish was something that I knew Stop telling me what I need Your thoughts were never mine Stop selling the same old thing Your words have lost their shine Stop selling me empty hopes The cure does not exist Quit yelling, it's not my dream Your face will meet my Stop telling me what I need Stop selling the same old thing Stop selling me empty hopes Quit yelling, it's not my Or your face will meet my fist Your face will meet my fist Alright listen Happiness you promise Promising you're honest You're the one who profits Promising you're Or your face will meet my Stop telling me what I need Your thoughts were never mine Stop selling the same old thing Your words have lost their shine Stop selling me empty hopes The cure does not exist Quit yelling, it's not my Or your face will meet my fist

You and Me 04:53
lyrics

All black or white when we reunite Trouble is on the menu deep into the night No grey or middle Each question is a riddle Struggle to connect cause we just lost our rhythm Rip every thought and opinion Telling me why you're so brilliant Why you’re worth a million Every word is showing that our hate is growing Carry out a crime every time and all that without knowing Instantly ready to show my ace in the hole when the time is right You want to keep on going? Be my guest We only talk to find out who's the best Come with me I think we both need to wander Away and free where it's just you and me Me You and me Falling behind Crossed another line Sharing our thoughts but they never align All past recorded The loudest rewarded Story of a story with all facts all contorted Caught on a lie I do agree that some crimes are best left behind but Why does every tiny detail need to lead to some unrest Blurring all this lines and placing bets on this insane roulette Instantly ready to throw my hat in the ring when the time is right Everything is just another Rorschach test I think we're hiding something to confess Come with me I think we both need to wander Away and free where it's just you and me Tell honestly Is this you somewhere under? Let's find a place where we don't disagree You and me don’t disagree You and me Stand by, this time my throat is dry, I'll try Don't cry, I see a blue sky, head high Stand by, this time my throat is dry, I'll try Don't cry, I see a blue sky, head high Come away Let’s find a place where it's just you and me You and me You and me You and me You and me

Make or Break 04:31
lyrics

Dreaming to run away Telling myself now or never Caught in my old cliche Day after day I've begin to fade away Lose all reflection Searching for a shade My racing thoughts are always around Chained down I found the reason to my euphoria This time I'm certain Try to make my own utopia Running away just before they hurt us Make or break now Changes are underway Plan my escape Run from losing games I don't want to play Suddenly thoughts start to wander in Demeaning all the pressure buried deep inside Tonight is my chance to run, disappear Chained down I found the reason to my euphoria This time I'm certain Try to make my own utopia Running away just before they hurt us Make or break I found a reason Giving away Not just something to dream on My stand to lean on Starting today I will drop this curtain Make or break Now run Come tomorrow will dreamers like me feel out of place? My own shade fades away One small impression Promise that I made Today my chain is gone Comes the sun Is gone Chain is gone Comes the sun Chain is gone Comes the sun

Real Deal 03:50
lyrics

Some nights are full of fright But those are rare and when they scare They tear me down and make me drown I wish I had somewhere to run, some air to breath I wish I had some air to breath down underneath Some dreams I want to have on my own They throw me a bone Next minute they're gone Next turn I'm alone just waiting for dawn Clean slate every time Myself in my prime Commit any crime That's made by design I forgot what's real Which side does it feel to be the real deal Feel to me for real I might never find the ideal Which place does it feel to be the real deal Feel to me for real Some trips I'd like to share Make others aware of their glare But somewhere I swear and telling myself Oh I'm telling myself That this time will be different Yeah, this time it's different So now I chose from this juxtapose No cons, all pros But I should have known better when a problem arose I chose the dream I broke the seam So now I scream And no one knows I forgot what's real Which side does it feel to be the real deal Feel to me for real I might never find the ideal Which place does it feel to be the real deal Feel to me for real I forgot what's real Which side does it feel to be the real deal Feel to me for real I might never find the ideal Which place does it feel to be the real deal Feel for which I would kill

Chase the Shining Star 04:24
lyrics

I'm sleeping unaware Dark shadows everywhere It's creeping in the air My nightmare of despair Then I wait unknowing Finally stars falling Breathe in and disappear Forgotten, lost somewhere Today with my blank stare Tomorrow change awaits Then I wait unknowing Finally stars falling Lights glowing peacefully It's not too late, home's calling I'm not staying, sinking in this quicksand Nobody will set me free Lights glowing peacefully It's not too late, home's calling I'm not staying, sinking in this quicksand Nobody will set me free Chase the shining star, leaving this wasteland Following, hoping to flee Chase the shining star Chase the shining star Chase the shining star I'm not staying here Chase the shining star Chase the shining star Chase the shining star I'm not staying Following, hoping to stay awake And I'm here right on the edge of falling back to sleep
