Breaking the Silence
05:09
|
|||
|
A sudden light, I’m blacking out with fright
Can you hear me calling? I won’t leave your side
A breath of anger to relieve the pain
Open silence to reveal the name
I’m holding tightly, standing close
Being true to what I need the most
The less I give, the more I receive
The more I lie, the easier to believe
This is the poison that makes you strong
I will tell you when you’re wrong
But if the silence breaks and all is lost
I hope you never see the pain you caused
Who broke the morning?
Who threw away the night?
What happened to the way we used to be?
When every day feels like a minute in time
You know that something isn’t right
And everything’s not fine
Can’t take it away now, it is changing my life
Giving meaning to being alive
An understanding full force is taking drive of all I have done
And all I will become

Ghost
04:46
|
|||
|
There’s an air of silence all around me
Surrounding everything
There’s a ghost lying next to me with nothing in between
The presence of a fallen soul
A beauty never seen
It makes perfect sense to me to believe
Four years ago was the last time that I saw you
I couldn’t trust my eyes
To a sight so intoxicating, I never felt so alive
How could I have been the one, my chance was slim to none
And I know
You were the part of me that I could never let go
I keep holding on, hoping one day I’ll see you one last time
And maybe if I see your light
It’ll be the one thing that keeps me from going blind
I spent all my hope, and now I can’t cope
With the thought of being without you
But in the end, I’ve got everything to lose
I lay a rose at the place where I last saw you
I didn’t want it to be the last time
I took a step back and I realized you wouldn’t be forgotten and I couldn’t find
A reason to live this life and replace my thoughts with a bittersweet memory
I could not go home, without you I’m alone
As I collect my thoughts
I run away
I never thought it would be the same
I didn’t leave
I couldn’t stay
How could I ever look away
I didn’t hear
I couldn’t see
That all along you were here with me
Just one more word
For you to say

Phoenix in Flight

Phoenix in Flames
04:07
|
|||
|
Open eyes inspire open minds inspire open lives
And I tried I tried I tried I tried until my eyes went blind
We reach so high
We reach so high
I watched you fly and then you died in my arms
You laughed and I smiled and you burst apart
A single fire can ignite a thousand hearts
The night is darkest just before the dawn
Tired eyes give into tired minds give into tired lives
And I tried I tried I tried I tried until my wings took flight
We burn so bright
We burn so bright

Caught in the Middle
04:46
|
|||
|
I finally lost my faith
My sense of humanity
Suddenly fled from me
I tear the chains I’m bound to, I become free
Now all I’m working for
Doesn’t matter any more
It’s not easy to ignore
When your life is broken and thrown on the floor
I will make the most of this
I will see the good in it
They say we’re making progress
The problem is solving itself, there’s no risk that we’re gonna fall
And I am caught in the middle of it all
Do you ever wonder if there’s more?
To life than only taking what belongs to you
Sometimes I wish that I could just ignore
The thoughts in my head that tell me I’m not right
Have you had a good look today?
Have you had a good look today?
Have you had a good look today?
At the world that we live in and think why you want to stay
I never found my way
A reason not to hate
Further from the truth
With every step I take
Just equilibrium
Is enough to make me strong
And I am finding it hard to move along
I will put an end to this
I will pledge my life to it
They say we’re moving backwards
But I can’t tell right from wrong when I’ve built up all these walls
And I am caught in the middle of it all

Sunrise
06:40
|
|||
|
This fatal attraction
A hopeless source of despair
A worried reaction
To a question withheld out of fear
A beautiful sunrise
Nothing more than an image in my mind
Coincidentally happening again
Is this a dream or something out of the ordinary?
Are we just machines working to better our lives? It’s all in vain
Have you ever seen something so beautiful, so serene?
With broken minds and blind eyes we will feel alive
An invisible thread
Pulling my life along, or ripping it to shreds?
Holding back time
Is easier said than done
Did you wake up?
Do you remember what you dreamed?
Are we real, or illusory?

Beyond the Glass
04:28
|
|||
|
I see you clearly now
Stepping through broken glass
A smile, so softly vivid
Drawing me in as you pass
A few words change everything
So why is it so difficult
To say how much you mean to me
To share the words I’ve felt?
Beyond the glass I watch you appear
My throat tightens as you draw near
Visions of us fill my mind
My life rewinds
A song to sing, a sight to see
A blissful night now just a memory
I couldn’t see clearly until now
Life has no room for empty doubt
And if we follow our hearts
They may lead us into the dark
They may turn our thoughts into regrets
But if we step into the dark
There’s no reason to be alarmed
The glass is shattered but never sharp

First Breath
05:29
|
|||
|
The water’s coming down again
I could swim, but it’s so temping to sink
And wash away
In melancholy bliss
A certain comfort in familiar pain
The way out is just the way in
When you have nothing to lose you have
Everything to gain
No last words, no final regrets
I dive in and take my first breath
Look how the water catches the light
I’ve never seen it so bright
Is this the first time I’ve opened my eyes?
I feel so alive
Every curse is a blessing in disguise
Without the lows there could be no highs
Every curse is a blessing in disguise
You have to drown to reach the sky

A Thousand Words
04:23
|
|||
|
And so you say that I’ll be fine
We all feel down from time to time
Do this, take that, soon it will pass
‘Cause after all it’s just in your head
As if I could just wish it away
Like a puff of smoke on a rainy day
Can’t even eat or sleep or smile
You call this life, I call it hell
You said you found a better place
But everything’s the same and nothing’s changed
Something’s got to give - this isn’t life, barely existence
I hope I’ll meet you there someday
Wish I could feel
Something, anything for real
A thousand words could not express
Wish I could say
How much your help has meant today
But a thousand words could not confess
And so you say that I’ll be fine
I hope you’re right, ‘cause I’m sick and tired
I smile and nod my life right past
Afraid to lose what I never had
But if I change, who will I be?
The pain’s become a part of me
Can I even really change at all?
Without becoming someone else

Road to Paradise
04:17
|
|||
|
I’ve been trapped inside this deep dark lie
Do you think I’ll make it out alive?
I keep on talking about hitting the road
But the road only takes me back to all the things I wish I’d never known
If I can’t believe this
What more can I do to redeem it
I’m hopeless, a fading light
Leave me here along the road to paradise
You’re out of your mind
You’re out of your head
You’re making up excuses for something that you never did
Please take me home
I keep on thinking there will come a time
When all the right roads are shining bright
And if I choose to take a different road
The hand of the divine will surely smite
|

Bon Voyage
04:52
|
|||
|
Suddenly I’m on my own
I feel so small and alone
I try to keep an open heart
But it’s so hard
Thought I’d have it figured out
Your show of faith, a work of art
Remember when I dreamed so high
When did that die?
You said I could be
Anything
What I’d give to start again
One door shuts, another opens
I only know that when it rains, it pours
I tried so hard to make it last
But we grow up so fast
|

In This Moment
05:36
|
|||
|
Suddenly I’m here
My heart, your hands, grow clear
I’ve never felt such beauty
As I lay here in the grass
I smile, I see you at last
I am whole again
And in this moment I breathe deeply
And in this moment I breathe deeply
Suddenly we’re here
How long? A day? A year?
Doubts dissolve, they never were
Here I am and here I’ll stay
Walk away, don’t be afraid
And in this moment I breathe deeply
And in this moment I breathe deeply
And in this moment I breathe deeply
My thought of you will never change
We’re becoming strangers
The stranger we become
The more we turn and run
The more we leave undone
We’re becoming strangers
The stranger we become
The more we turn and run
We’ll never become one
