Fire and Brimstone
05:57
|

don’t look down
don’t open your eyes
hold on tight
don’t let it fall back
I could feel the fire coming from the stage
burning my brow as I stand right before the blaze
the crowd was jumpin’ around at every kick & snare
blinded by a thousand lights as I stared
breathless
breathe in fumes from the fire
fly a thousand lightyears away
I could feel the pressure bouncing off the ground
standing right before this giant wall of sound
my heart thumping hard and loud in my chest
as I am getting ready for what’s next to come
breathe in fumes from the fire
and let it all go for a while
breathe in fumes from the fire
aren't you tired of tryin' alone
break the rules and the mold
express yourself
assume your role
breathe in fumes from the fire
go and make this life your own
break the rules and the mold
it is you
it’s the real you

Vapor Trails
04:09
|
|||
drifting through the haze
like vapor trails
swirling in a maze
to the end of our days
eclipsing the light
clinging to the cold
unseen in the night
memories of old
fly towards the sun
condensing to tears
the hopes and the fears
of all that is far
and all that is near
dripping to the floor
start over again
the wounds, they will mend
the cycle never ends

Deafen the Void
04:56
|
|||
wide awake while everyone’s asleep
coffee break while everyone's at work
wide awake can’t even close my eyes
I cannot shake this feeling
something I can’t control
whatever the meaning
it rips my heart and soul
wide awake
it seems I'm looking kind'a paranoid
the vow won't break
a deafening cry into the void
I cannot shake this feeling
something I can’t control

Waiting
05:21
|
|||
this time keep your head down
walk straight out of town
hide in the plain light of day
for darkness is on it's way
it holds me like a ghost
it blows the candle I’ve disposed
it burns my skin away
the cold I go through every day
it finally brings peace
when the leaves have fallen at my feet
wait and turn to stone
this time that you’re home
whatever I’m running away from
it keeps coming back around
whoever I've become
it's never losing ground
some things never change
until we break 'em down
it’ll slowly feed on your rage
but surely got you ‘round

Un
06:00
|
|||
we are of the earth
to her we return
for there's an ocean
of answers unspoken
there are no afters
nor befores
all is one
and one is all
steady stream through space and time
all is closely intertwined
we are just pawns in the game
on the grandest of stages
no doubt no claim to fame
traveling the ages
from rich to exhausted
all resources been drained
for the soil needs to be fed
its workers shall become the grain
beyond skyline
and below the streets
our fate redefined
a design incomplete
nourishing the maker
returning to our mother
the very essence of life
passed on to another
every minute feels like
I’m pulled through my demise
a witness tied till the end
seeing life resetting again

Broadcast Interruption
02:17
|
|||
all lights are out
all hell breaks loose
it’s coming back to me
little by little
it’s driving me crazy
one step at a time
|

Amidst the Sun and Stars
04:28
|
|||
I trust this very instant
one more step a new beginning
soaring higher and higher
for there is grace when the world shatters
between the memory set in stone
and the moment left unknown
lasting like writings on the wall
halfway there amidst the sun and stars
for what I see with eyes closed
a lifetime in a heartbeat
for what I feel now and here
could be sealed
deep inside of me
scattered
like ashes in the wind
without a sound
without warning
once more
I start anew from here
amidst the sun and stars
between fiction and reality

Tainted Eyes
08:20
|
|||
turn the lights down low
and lay next to me
let the troubles go
fall asleep gently
away from this loud world
away from the madness
and the prayers unheard
through the only way out
the unknown's looking in
the wind comes and goes
time's eluding
if something’s not right
and doesn’t feel wrong
nor does it feel right?
as I fall from grace
night turns to day
I cannot see the light
as the dark clouds rise
like tainted eyes sometimes blur the lines
between what’s wrong and right
shady contours
breaches
paradigm
darkness becoming heavier
the weighing of time
