Within me cries of murder Crawling in dirt I wipe my tears Your innocence got stolen Memories defiled Words hard to deliver How can we flee? When there's dust in our desperate lands The further we go We stray from the coloured sky The sky that we want Within me cries of murder Forgive me my child, it's not your fault When all you've known, when your whole world is Muddy waters, bombs and slaughter Your innocence got buried under rubble Where we once lived and dreamed, free But they won't hear, they've shut their ears Words hard to deliver How can we flee? When the dust in our desperate lands Is staining our dreams The further we go We stray from the coloured sky The sky that we want The sky that we love Words hard to deliver How can we flee? When there's dust in our desperate lands Words hard to deliver How can we flee? When the dust in our desperate lands Is staining our dreams The further we go We stray from the coloured sky The sky that we want The sky that we love

Sometimes I'll try Sometimes I won't Sometimes there’s no escape from my thoughts but now I feel, I live, I dream, I hope Till this point in time I was in a cage but now I've found the meaning of life, now I know I can see the stars so warm, so calm, so bright and feel the fire is rising in me And everything will lead me to this point I see When ellipses in this world all came to be Don't you see? You're my circle, you're my key May your love forever last May I travel high and fast with you They can try to keep me bound but I'll circle around, to you Circle around Some rights Some wrongs Let them be for now This is not goodbye There will be another day You and me In this moment we are free May your love forever last May I travel high and fast with you They can try to keep me bound but I'll circle around, to you Circle around From the questions I have asked in the future and the past, to you Only one thing I have found that I'll circle around, to you Circle around

Flames are Spreading Turn back Help me I'm drowning I'm gasping For one breath To cheat death Black tears So thick I can't see Black wings I'll never fly How dare you Force yourself on me It's coming Spreading, spreading Tell us what's wrong with you What are you waiting for? What are you waiting, tell us where we stand before the end And all the things you've done Who will pay for them? Who will give me back my wings again? Destructional I'm unclean A poison in me This coating As dark as the sea I'll haunt you Won't let you forget This image Spreading, spreading I don't expect you to help me, I know you won't My eyes are still burning, I'm breathing fire I'll never forgive you, never forgive you Have it your way then, just try and hide Tell us what's wrong with you What are you waiting for? What are you waiting, tell us where we stand before the end And all the things you've done Who will pay for them? Who will give me back my wings again? Destructional I'll fly as high as the highest sky I won't rest, I won't sleep until I see you die A lesson taught but you'll never learn So I won't rest or sleep until I see you...burn! Tell us what's wrong with you What are you waiting for? Tell us where we stand before the end And all the things you've done Who will pay for them? Give me back my wings again! Destructional

Who am I and what I've left behind I'm too scared to see who I'll become Should I stand and watch my life unfold? Take me in your arms and comfort me Don't want to be understood Only to be heard I don't see another way around This is me and all my honest lies I won't let the pieces fall to chance Take me in your arms and comfort me Don't want to be understood Only to be heard Living through my dreams and hope inside my head Reach! Now! Reach the stars with me! Now!

Hidden Wound 05:02
Keeping secrets from the past and crawling Bear the ache of your desires now Dive in endless realms of pleasure and stalling Bear the weight of your commitments now I'm ready to fall My hidden wound is my fault I can't control it I can't restrain it Dusk is nearing Flashbacks getting harder and piercing Body's shaking to the rhythm of fear Break me! What a creature I've become I'm not the same man that I left behind Break me! What a creature I've become I can't control it, I can't restrain it Break me! What a creature I've become I'm not the same man that I left behind Tell me, will I be there for all my life? My breath is what is left My only hope, my only grip, myself

My head is burning by the sirens Why? They don’t stop I cannot fight them Maybe I'm just stuck on a different path and I can't find escape Maybe I must clear my mind, my mind I'm all alone I cannot fight it One by one my wills are fading Maybe I'm just stuck on a different path and I can't find escape Maybe I must clear my mind, my mind Finding peace in cold and dark The only thing I see is pain Sunlight whispers in the dawn I know I cannot live alone I know I'm on the ground Please let me die Please let me die Maybe you're just falling back again On this goddamn sadness Oh it's time to clear your mind, your mind You lost control, you're getting wild Reach my hand and we can try Accept the things that never change Breathe in, breathe out Now it's time to clear your mind, your mind Finding peace in cold and dark The only thing I see is pain Sunlight whispers in the dawn Hear thy voice just hear thy voice I know that you can fight You're not gonna die You're not gonna die

Show me now something that you've fought for Your lifeline rests on everything that you ignore Every chance we get to praise your mediocrity Be your fortune teller, storyteller That's not the life I once envisioned, I dreamed of for you Claim all that I've foreseen Will I carry my visions through? I hoped that you and me could share the same lane of reality You've fooled yourself, your silence is an echo Where's your pain? You're nothing but your own foe You played it all yet go for none, be done, define yourself You are paralyzed by indecision That's not the life I once envisioned, I dreamed of for you Erase your paradox Will I carry my visions through? I hope that you'll believe in what I aspire to be The reality in me, reality in me I hoped that you and me could share the same lane of reality Will I carry my visions through? I hope that you'll believe in what I aspire to be The reality But I feel that you doubt what I call real …but I feel and I feel that you doubt what I call real… …bright as day I'll lead the way, I'll have my say Don't count on yesterday Believe in come what may I've got to break away, it's…

True Colours 04:51
I meander I twist and curve I meander, in spite of everything I am It keeps you all at distance, away There's a compromise I'm living with A made up semblance A structure that expects too much of me My only sense of self is gone I'm fastened to a role I'll show a hundred thousand faces Through millions of mazes I roam I'm stuck inside a role Reveal a hundred thousand faces Through millions of mazes Who am I? I don't remember 'Cause I'll meander I try to stay on your good side and keep you at a distance, afar There's a compromise I'm living with A made up semblance A structure that expects too much of me My only sense of self is gone I'm fastened to a role I'll show a hundred thousand faces Through millions of mazes I roam I'm stuck inside a role Reveal a hundred thousand faces Through millions of mazes I've lost my way Caught in black and white Discoloured Bailed out, grayed out Can we somehow learn to live in our skin? We bail out, gray out forever

Pure in all its form The calm after every storm Safe from every harm I'm free to want again A gift for all the earthlings The secret of the earthlings How fragile are we How caught up we become When sentiment gets all the better of us I'm free of judgement now Free of old beliefs I'm free to want again and I’m at peace with everything A gift for all the earthlings The secret of the earthlings The more reasons I find the more of me I see Thankful for my missteps because they led me to you A gift for all the earthlings The secret of the earthlings How fragile are we How caught up we become When sentiment gets all the better of us I'm free of judgement now Free of old beliefs Free to want again and I'm at peace with everything I'm free of judgement now I'm free of old beliefs Thankful for my missteps because they led me to you

I feel it coming once again Idly observe the days go by Can't ease myself into consciousness When real chaos makes no noise And I’m above this body, where? I gaze but I never look I'm losing grip on my reality and now I'm questioning my very sanity And I wonder oh I wonder Will this take me over? Indefinite and unclear, they disappear Round the corner, near, and they slip between my fingers Moments like these, go beneath me and they've been there now for so long, lost beneath me Oh I’ve been there for so long, (lost beneath me) I'm far behind I'm racing my mind I'm left undefined and undermined I would rather hide and face my insanity I guess these moments of prosperity are what we live for I guess I'll never learn to seize them, I will be there no more I'm far behind, racing my mind I'm left undefined, undermined I will always hide, embrace insanity
