Why am I here Have I been here before Pathways everywhere So many opened doors The beauty of all things Pulsing in one motion With the Earth revolving Billions of collisions Why am I here? To find a place In this endless contusion Of time and space The human condition Finding myself in a new age History's newest page For once I feel in control As I finally escape the mold
2.
Another dismal episode In which I cannot seem to fit Life on autopilot mode While I restlessly look for an exit Everything changes All I feel becomes so sore As I read the final pages Suddenly yearning for Sommething more Than suffering, blood tears and war 'Cause dying's not enough Something worth living for Something worth dying for Don't know If this life is enough Or if the journey doesn't end in more Nothing more Nothing more Than a last breath for us to long for Don't know if dying is enough It's not enough It's not enough For me at all To find a reason to go forth When everything is bleak at most Repressing thoughts of loathe And every other dark and lonely feeling that you host Until the day we all leave Secretly wishing to achieve Something more Something worth living for Something worth dying for
3.
Come to me moonlight Let me bask in your embrace Mesmerized by the vastness of your realm Come to me sunlight Lost in your reflections Bewildered by the farness of your reach Comes a time Of awakening And self-realization of The infinity that stretches up above And all around And all around And up above And the moments pass you by With all your memories and dreams And all the reasons why You're always hiding in the seams Suddenly don't matter anymore And you can't stop me tonight As I'm creating a world of my own

My Purpose 07:35
Times when I am lost Into the mires I need to free my mind From the madness Keeping me up at night What's the meaning of life What it means to be alive What's my purpose in life [Or in the afterlife] Why are we born to die [Why some so much sooner than others] Rain falls Like rain crashing on the walls As I think about how we all die So please come by my side Let me hold you tight Let me feel the rain Cleasing my sorrows [Cleasing your deepest sorrows] Let me hear your voice inside my heart [You're the one thing] That pulls me out When all I see is darkness To remind me that I'm alive And how you make it so worthwhile Am I where I'm meant to be Is this what was meant for me Is there a single thing I've done That will matter in the long run And if I was to die tonight Somehow I would be alright As long as you are by my side As long as you are by my side

Lose your mind Can somebody please grab my hand Lose your mind I think I no longer understand Lose your mind Feels like I'm slowly losing grip again Lose your mind I'm no longer here, I just pretend Lose your mind There's no holding back my ascend Lose your mind Can't get a hold of myself in the end Lose your mind Nothing anymore can keep me around Lose your mind My feet slowly lifting off the ground I'm losing it I'm leaving it all I won't be back This is my heart attack Feeling rather rad this mundane morning I think I'm gonna buy myself an eggmuffin Sunshine through the windshield I can't see where I'm driving I stop by, sing a lullaby into the drive-through "That's pretty nice sir, but could I have your order?" I don't want your condescendence Just give me a glimpse of freedom I don't need your so-thought common sense But maybe an extra cheese and bacon [Losing your mind] Pathways everywhere So many opened doors To find your place In this endless contusion Of time and space Time and space, time and space The human condition Don't need no condescence Losing all sense of freedom I don't need no goddamn common sense I need a destination

Crawl 03:20
Buried in silence I crawl Rain crashes against the wall On my knees, can you hear my call Only you can keep My life from sprawling Help me learn how to fall How to fall How to fall Fall I crawl My heart feels like solid metal My soul is numb, I'm feeling delusional Buried in silence I crawl Help me learn how to fall
7.
I reach for hope with tired eyes It's scattered all across the skies As if the stars had realized It is not here Cold lips and shaky limbs I'm witnessing my very own demise Waiting for a sign to show From the burning scars of long ago I've tried shaking it Escaping it But it always comes back haunting me This chronic melancholy Help me chase this desolation [With more than medication] I Feel like a loaded gun A burglar on the run [Fleeing my reflection] I'm my own enemy [My own enemy] Help me from this Lifelong misery My ideas fall in drips Leaking from the corner of my mind My whole world goes into eclipse Won't you remind me Of shooting stars and shimmering waves Across this sea of lives beneath the shades Gleaming through these iron towers Stealing away all the hours Not a passerby Can hear the cry Of the spirits adrift roaming the streets Their beautiful dark melody Tied down by cold reality Drowning in the silence of our dreams There is no defeating gravity It pulls us down, faster and faster Spinning you round until you cannot see There is no escape There is no escape from the choices that we make
8.
I've watched you from afar Far beneath The surface you adorn Something is torn But all you need is to accept You are who you are And reach the other shore And let your spirit soar Ascend higher evermore Let it sink in Feel it wreathing Around you The beauty of all things Slowly breathing as one One perfect chaotic motion

(Instrumental)

Time to wake up To a new horizon Don't hurt yourself Everything is forgiven It's over now, a new chapter's begun Hush now, don't you cry Hush now, don't you cry Whenever you're lost Remember that it's all behind you now I will always be around by your side Without a sound I will be around You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone Time to go now But there's no need to hurry Don't be affraid The end's just another beginning Everything's gonna be fine Everything is going to be alright Just empty your mind Close your eyes and follow the light I will be around You are not alone You are not alone Not alone You are not alone You are not alone I will be around
11.
As we try and try again And we fail to comprehend That the meaning of our lives Was always right before our eyes Whatever comes, whatever goes No matter how much the storm gets close I know that we'll come through I know that we'll come through The stumbling, the wondering The excuses and forgiving But I know that we'll pull through I know that we'll pull through And stand together in the rain Hoping for better tomorrows And in a single voice Our heartbeats like blessed drumrolls And like the seeds of hope We were scattered Around the world To rise out of the earth For something more Something worth living for Something worth dying for As we all stand Awaiting our final ascension Finding yourself in this new age Its final page It's all that you've left behind And everything that are yet to find Time to reap what you've sown The future is yours to own Nothing is wasted, and maybe There is a reason for all the tears you've shed And as long as you breathe There'll be time to choose To live like you have got nothing to lose So why are you on the run? Why are you on the run? Your journey has just begun And life goes on Life goes on [Where it begins] But the hardest thing to say [Is where it ends] Is that you've lived your life without regrets Until today [Where it begins] Until today [Is where it ends]
