Driven 07:01
It always gets worse before it gets better Got pulled out of this state, so callous and afraid Though there was nothing to lose I put everything on the line No burdens, void of desire Within a heavy heart No need to aspire Just pause, a new start Still seems impossible to explain Such a solid plan blown to smithereens So, this is the poison of the sting So red, black, shimmering and sweet To see this through and still be free Just seems like too much of a task So take all you need, just take it from me I promise you won't even have to ask I can barely see You simply can’t easily lose something like this In an agreement called never it’s hard to tell pain from bliss And still I would stop and drop everything I got To understand how this came to be, is beyond me I am trading solace for something real So I’ll give away more of myself And deny to yearn for something in return So I run on for a hidden truth While the night is darkest just before dawn And these are the remnants of your gift I could grow to loathe To see this through and still be free Just seems like too much of a task So take all you need, just take it from me I promise you won't even have to ask I will never rest Still I run on for a hidden truth On through my darkest night, Waiting for dawn I still long for the remnants of your gift I have grown to loathe To see this through and still be free Just seems like too much of a task So take all you need, just take it from me I promise you won't even have to ask I can barely see you I will leave this path of thorns In truth, you did barely see me

Savored these memories and carved them in deep Lost all connection to rational thoughts A grinding vision of sleep and craving the flames Living in woe and in solicitude We reap what we sow No one was there to witness No one knew nothing about where I thought you'd choose to run We'll never be the same All clouded by ourselves A plan killed the wish Refuse to give in so quickly This is what hurts us the most While we keep resembling the pieces We are just remembering ghosts This presence might beat you and claw for your tongue The uncertain bleeds pictures and let’s you run on It takes a sleight of hand to close all of the wounds When the whispers are heard and the runway is curved There was every warning This ends in more than a fray There was every warning They told me to stay away I covet the idea of a story about a life I have no clue how memories keep on breathing No one was there to witness No one knew nothing about where I thought you'd choose to run We'll never be the same All clouded by ourselves A plan killed the wish Refuse to give in so quickly This is what hurts us the most While we keep resembling the pieces We are just remembering ghosts And no one was there to witness And no one could tell nothing about where I thought that you had chosen to run And we will never be the same again As we’re getting in way over our heads It is the mind's plan that killed the wish But its light still blinds

Our egos are endless No judgement ever handed down We won’t confess to our blindness of bigger pictures Man reigns in the dark and takes all for granted What can you see past the edge of our wealth? We never chose an heir We forget the ricochet is the second part We tumble into oblivion for lessons we did never learn After taking what we did not Earn a step towards the end No more speculation No more betting on the death of the poor as they weep No more caging of progress No more arrogance, no more The face we dread, it glows in the dark In our war room of concrete and glass So much to reach for, but we look at the wrong skies We’ll rot in our holy grounds Or burn in the tops of our spires And the ones who stand and defy Will watch everything bleed to its last drop We tumble into oblivion for lessons we did never learn After taking what we did not earn Earn a step towards the end Vain gods never learn This all ends up in oblivion It’s what you get if you’re unwilling to learn Enjoy your glory in death

A tearless grief for phantoms past who never had a say Their kingdom turned into barren lands since we took it away Praising the diversity of all that's gone And of the treasures which still remain with us And the fragility of every single part of life It brings great beauty, but killers wipe all clean of it False green order, withering life A spreading reign of the sand since hopeful times of old The lung has been all cut up We gather the poison The big blue breathes its last.. We’re really that cold? No drill holes ever spew out that sort of hope For this dying kind that seems to have long moved on Please, for the sake of our descendants regency And to keep us here, so our kind’s still worth saving I'm missing the gallows here at the summit of greed Why aren't we, one by one, hung up high? Better gods died where we carved our paths in the dark While we just stood by and we just watched Is this really the truth about the so called crown? Do we forever avert our gaze from home as we drown? There should be images of reapers or blood stained mirrors But the illusion is done, our need for prosperity’s won False green order, withering life A spreading reign of the sand since hopeful times of old The lung’s been all cut up We gather the poison The big blue breathes its last.. We just circle the drain Our traces on her faces like lacerations, never fading away Who could fight our golden cerberus as he devours forgotten remains I need the diversity of all that fades To love the killers To hope there is change in them No one sees the fragility of all we have It brings great anger to once peaceful hands and eyes I'm missing the gallows here at the summit of greed Why aren't we, one by one, hung up high? Better gods died where we carved our paths in the dark While we just stood by and we just watched A clock that still has time left to save this precious coincidence Who will raise a hand in protection while the armies of the many stand still

Somewhat afraid to admit this keeps fading That last remaining anchor, a life vest to save.. Save the ghost in the core, the one I never knew There is no easy answer if you insist on a reason It speaks too loud and outshines all In years of apparitions, in these silent seasons A stinging name unknowingly took a pride of place And one word lingered on and on and on: unconditionally This could be a pointless endeavour for solace, for deliverance An exercise in futility, but I'm sure I waste absolutely nothing It's peace for restless minds, this promised to provide With no effort you cleansed the mess from my head Some will say this brings myself nothing more than emptiness No easy mission to cling to how I pictured you Endless patience is punishing, so practice moderation Advice is given as often as it’s ignored To be oblivious while insisting on a reason.. Can’t we get away? We deserve this! If I ever reached a harbour and still had anything left I would bow my head and never leave again So while I could go away and try and rush and grasp I'd rather have you here This could be a pointless endeavour for solace, for deliverance This could be my very last endeavour To conquer time and overcome distance It's peace for restless minds this promised to provide With no effort you cleansed the mess from my head Some will say this Brings myself nothing more than emptiness It could not be another time or on a brighter day And reaching far won’t help you to find a better way

Gloom 03:25
I am a constant I am, oh, so confident and ever so stable Though always at the brink of collapse I can rely on despair On the wrong signs A lack of compassion I need to see this And you, to see this I am longing for the end I need holes and cracks in this hull that was built 'round me And many more who mean well, but all fail and destroy more of themselves every day I lost track of this Though I didn't move at all I need a constant Oh, I need a confidant Can you please build me up To save me from the brink of collapse Can you cleanse me from my fears, Everyday's gloom And my own thoughts I need to see this And you, to see this This is over when we confess to ourselves And wear it on our sleeves Hold it high over our heads Hold it high for all to see Reach inside the darkness

Start to seclude and sever the feeble bonds What was so weakening? What lead it astray? To predict or predicate the outcome of the smallest of collisions Add a little weight Disrupt the orbit Run Atlas, run Spare me the parade We are glad but what persists after ending the charade? All laid upon my shoulders Now, to sever every strip and let it slip I’m adrift in this for far too long This forlorn hope States of ain soph aur Who would run and cower? A merchant of redemption sometimes earns seeds of silence When you just pass me by, make a decision Hale us to safety Never aimed to be a hero Never longed for the tragedy I can’t be the shadow anymore to veil your eyes from inequities of the past Know Now Hold on Sever all ties In the end disposition lies within and so does all affection I still need some time to pack It’s so much more now Some things need to end These sickening ways Of vacillation, complacency Begin to try to be what once was me Run Atlas, run Spare me the parade We are glad but what persist after ending the charade? All laid upon my shoulders Now, to sever every strip And let it slip away Hold on Sever Hold on to sever Renew

My open eyes hurt from the small red and white spots in front of me Scant of breath I head home on the way preset by the demons of 2 My clenched fists still hurt I watched the abuse and vain vanity More and more this feels like war won by the cowards And every breath is burning from this filth and disease that is spread these days It has always been done, with or without any vile intentions You fill the world with the empty space in your heads and in your hearts There's no love, not even paid by the hour I wait for a new day, for the end of us So let us fall away I'll leave all solace behind My heart and hands haven't done what should have saved me today Did we really end up at this point of basking only in extremes And of a pastime of simply bashing ourselves, our lives Or are we just misguided by the digitally divided Whose swords only click Fury, as useless as war over beliefs Do as you please, lash out, ut leave me out of this mess It’s like a plague, you’re unwilling to think What can I say? It makes me sick! In time they will all fail us Then look at what we become If we vanished today it would not be much of a loss I dwell in a day, so dark, to sleep could lift this veil I dwell in a day, so dark.. Let me rip apart this new veil See, my conscience is awake And my conscience strives away from your reign There is enough done in vain to see me leaving you all I'm pledging to call for truth in you, in me I wait for a new day, for the end of us So let us fall away. I'll leave all solace behind, My heart and hands haven't done what should have saved me today

Transience 06:04
Rage, rage against the dying of the light Don't let go quietly I found these moments to teach me adoration The profound meaning behind the slight sad look of eyes in love We all come down with grief every once in a while And with nostalgia over something we haven't even lost yet So, know the value of scarcity and learn to cherish the finiteness of life How can you squander the possibility for transcendence and love while you are conscious of your fleeting time here? Does impermanence bring meaninglessness when beauty fades to nothingness? And the exception is a rabbit hole A notion to avoid decay While it can only be temporary, do you give in? Do you renounce dependence and all attachments? Is the rose that you give to a loved one made of plastic? Or would you want a setting sun to last forever? Everything you enjoy will one day end and vanish Everyone you love will one day be taken away from you or you from them All beauty dies, but it's the fact that it dies that empowers your emotions to appreciate all you have So much more This lifts me up and disguises the world’s apathy and hatred It’s the softest touch and a warm glow, even in the absence of colour Without things I fear I might lose I am nothing at all They tear at my heart and hang onto my very soul and won’t let go quietly It’s when the whole world dissolves and reappears again And you skip a beat, a breath, a blink of an eye.. I will extend these moments forever Or at least I will give them my all
