Grace Under Fire 08:14
lyrics
buy track
Grace under fire And the day has Just begun I feel something dying But it's warm bold and sound In this moment of truth We see so much more Find a shelter somehow where We can draw the line Can you see the vultures Feasting on your cornea Scratching on your eardrums Forcing you to hide Can you hide from me? Can you cope with it Without hesitation The moment is gone Would they fight back if It happened to them How would they feel when The knife pierced through Would they endure this if The burden was on their backs Feeling so hopeless Nowhere to run Would they survive Like I did Like I did Grace under fire And the truth is We don't care I feel something dying Yet I don't know what it is If You had been struck by luck Like we have been All that sorrow would have not been in vain And your wounds wouldn't be as deep Grace Finds herself melting away in the sun Then she whispers tender words To the sky "I'm in peace, we can all rest now" We can all rest Find a shelter somehow where We can draw the line When you turn on the light We see so much more

Winter Came 06:14
lyrics

Did we get to taste what's past through all those days concealing this cold On our chest Some pain, like a memory Warmth was gone To never come back And then winter came And it froze out our windows Trees outside Begging for forgiveness Winter came Winter came, for me now My mind is ok Falling to the ground Falling to the ground This time around I know I'm just a leaf Waiting for this winter to set me free I just realized is not just you and me Revolution’s all around, claiming harmony Winter came Winter came, for me now My mind is ok Falling to the ground Falling to the ground Stop the noise it's oh so strong and Leave this coldness Forever crushing us down Don't let go It will eat your heart out Twist and hold Until your mind is lost Leaves on the pavement Whisper farewell Clouds fed the skies And the symphony began Winter hunts Scavenging for despair Soil is blank Space is deaf

Overcome 04:57
lyrics
buy track
One A.M, Tuesday It all becomes clear I’ve been wasting all my years Window blinds dancing A frightening wind I passed the test, there’s no escape, The needle bends, it is too late I feel the need to overcome this Shadows and whispers They’re all in my head Yet they hurt as if they’re real Portraits of old men devoid of soul I passed the test, there’s no escape The birds have sung the melody As if they were singing to me About the need to overcome this I have seen the light with my own two eyes dreamt of a shadow, cold left unspoken blinded by my thoughts Night dissipates And I have never felt so sick Someone awakes I hear the footsteps on the floor below Insomnia haze Heeps me from crawling out of my bed The portrait’s still there Gazing out, piercing the walls And I have seen the light With my own two eyes Dreamt of a shadow, cold left unspoken Blinded by my ... blinded by my Morning rise, moon down The pattern repeats The suit is hanging from a chair, The robots rush out to nowhere I feel the need to overcome this

Woke up a Ghost 08:46
lyrics
buy track
People are moving In every direction I stare at them Get zero feedback Suddenly someone Trips on the sidewalk I brace for impact But she meets the floor Look at my hands Transparent and vague I wail in panic As I realize My life, this body I cherish the most Lost in the day I woke up a ghost Oh to recall All that I missed Your skin touching mine My hands feeling yours Pain hunger stress And even headaches I'll miss it all Now my mind is gone I feel something near Cold breeze in July Why can't you hear me? This cold is so weird I feel something near Why can't you hear me All my complaints Insignificant My life was great When I had a voice All my mistakes so significant My life was great When I had a choice Hope that soon I'll be gone and complete again All the battles we've lost flashing through my eyes And soon I'll become one with the air So weightless and free I'll let go and rest So alone, tonight Moonlight shining through I need help Help me ... What is happening? What is happening? How did I get here I try to rewind But everything seems So ordinary I am a breeze In everyone's eyes Try as I might My screams just aren't there And you call yourself a ghost Trapped inside a broken home And you call yourself a ghost Trapped inside a broken home And you call yourself a ghost Trapped inside a broken home People are moving In every direction

Sleep Inertia 06:44
lyrics

Trapped in my bed with dreams of void inertia so cold inside my head The strangest field... emotion Contemplate the gates and My body won't obey Muscles deep ...inertia My brain's weak ...inertia It's not time to sleep Black begins to accumulate This cannot be true This cannot be, this cannot be Let the legs be alive Let my fingers slip away Distorted reality Thoughts are crumbling Through my shadow And I still try to disappear Luring things I don't believe in Leeching on my own self Invisible, the walls Why am I trapped in here I want to stop and move away This sleep inertia feels insane Muscles deep ...inertia My brain's weak My brain's weak ... inertia

There was a time when logic was all I had on my mind And it kept me separated from my life I can't feel the pain anymore Only the answers travelling in my soul I can't feel this anymore I can't feel this anymore This medicine makes me so much I can't even say I don't want to stop This healing

Trilogia: New Skin 07:20
lyrics

Grows in me the need to change It’s getting bigger than my skin The hissing so loud Must not rest Keeps getting darker and darker Keeps getting darker and darker Keeps getting darker and darker Keeps getting darker and darker I’ve been given A chance For a new Beginning This is not An escape Just a new path Here’s my chest Dissolving My mistakes A new shape Now what will you become Will you embrace Unforeseen realities The story of my past I never got to live You are two But I am one

Trilogia: Stasis 09:19
lyrics
buy track
These are just words With no real consequence These words I speak They mean nothing But I strive for more A different way of Overcoming spite and fear Another me Now from afar I see the reason of it all I see the past in what's to come Taken away Swallowed by shadows Only to be born again Seeing the same things But with another eye Another me I have never felt so clear Could it be that I'm gone I have never felt so clean Could it be that I'm gone Am I still myself Breath, that uncertainty Makes no sense at all I’m the same as you Only so much better now If you don't see what I have seen Past and future In a circle Words you speak of Have no meaning You are two but I am one now You are two but I am one now Shed skin behind Drawn myself into the same melody To come back again With another way to Feel disguised and real If you don't see what I have seen Past and future in a circle Words you speak of have no meaning You are two but I am one now You are two but I am one now You are two but But I realize
