Half of men inside the frame can’t see if there’s a difference Ask a friend for a hand to hide away her shame Cast into shadow, darkness & despair Nothing there, nothing left, nothing in her care So she’s taking a bus now A take off for down town A road she knows somehow but she knows it’s too late Just to get away from us she’ll cower in the distance Plagued by thought and memory, she’ll never find the end Run far from home Just to catch a fix, cure the itch Down to the bone So she’s taking a bus now A take off for down town A road she knows somehow but she knows it’s too late Though she’ll wander She’ll wander Yeah, She’ll wonder Wonder if we exist And they’ll plunder Yeah, they’ll plunder They’ll plunder, counterfeit Though she’ll wander Yeah, She’ll wonder And they’ll plunder, counterfeit

Song 2 No. 1 04:12
A soul won’t find peace You away from me Confusion at hand Emotionlessly Two lovers out of tune The ending is soon But like broken strings There will come a new When you fly away Don’t forget all the things that we knew When you fly away Don’t forget all the memories we grew When you fly away Just remember our love is on cue When you fly away The kindest of smiles Affectionate child Your kiss spoke under the moon Won’t you stay a while? A family we spoke Your hair that I stroke I’d go to the sun and back For me I don’t know When you fly away Don’t forget all the things that we knew When you fly away Don’t forget all the memories we grew When you fly away Just remember our love is on cue Don't you fly away

Glass Walls 06:11
What if all hearts are meant to break? And all scars meant to fade But what if a hero too afraid, A day he cannot save A mind like this must stay under A balance made by wealth and hunger Give yourself to me, send me far away Beneath my skull in vein Crush the weight inside Glass wall, I can see There’s no more to me and there’s no more to this I see Caught up man who’s ready to surrender My thoughts provoke a lie we choke, I remember A guest still, why I don’t come home? Because by myself I’m just as alone Help me find, find I’m the one for you If not anything else what am I to do? Cold capture, storm short after the rain If I don’t leave now, I think I’ll go insane Yet another reason to regret These glass walls I’d love to call this… Catacomb, flesh, and bone, call it home (So lost, not in my skin) Bear the weight of heavy stone In the wake of these wicked words That I can die easy and I will go freely With a lot less reason To try and get through to you Floating on in this planetary cosmic sea See you in my dreams but you’re facing away How do I know it’s you? Give yourself to me send me away How do I know? See you in my dreams but you’re facing away How do I know? Help me find, find I’m the one for you If not anything else what am I to do? Cold capture, storm short after the rain If I don’t leave now, I think I’ll go insane Yet another reason to regret These glass walls I’d love to call this… Help me find, find I’m the one for you If not anything else what am I to do? Cold capture, storm short after the rain If I don’t leave now, I think I’ll go insane Yet another reason to regret These glass walls I’d love to call this home Call this my glass home

To walk this path alone The stars have surely shown A destination found There she lied aground Black and white her keys With boundless mystery Caution in the air Approach without a care Release every note to the wind The notes are but a clue But who the fuck are you Came without a cause Adolescence lost It’s not that bad you’ll see Just play along with me The ground began to shake Reality will fade And by then we’ll know Release every note to the wind

The world is burning yet again I’m on the inside looking out… I’m just as sickened And by design, I’m just as twisted Look around; it’s up to you Look around and see it’s up to you All hollows eve Spire stairs Where the wicked come down to play… Rose colored lenses make limelight Turn black once the dead man sees Before the fall The curtain call Before the fall the curtain call In a way I recognize Hold onto Your thoughtful lies Act not surprised Before the fall The curtain call Won’t stick my neck out I must keep my head Not remove my ease I’m a crawling man just end this please The leaves will change And they’re changing yet again In the meantime though, will we destroy ourselves? In irrational frenzies controlled by your illusions and my self-doubt The curtain calls The curtain falls

The age of man is dead The end of time has come Show me the way under the mountain And over the sea I’m at the lowest point As you sit at the highest peak The mist will sweep you off your feet Cold, dark, twisted silence Iron and wine on the upward terrace The age of man is at an end When you go just like you do Just go, and stay forever Forget the beautiful view The wisest ones who know The burden to move the ground The pity of what is not When you go just like you do Just go, and stay forever Just stay away from me You’ll still be standing here When I am laid to rest Once long gone Will you be where we left you? Just like the worst You’ve outlived the best Cutthroat rivers, surrounding seas Lead me to your smoldering peaks I’m crawling on my knees Your smoke is still a burning Deranged from the flame Would it make a difference? If you knew my name When you go just like you do Just go, and stay forever Forget the beautiful view The wisest ones who know The burden to move the ground The pity of what is not When you go just like you do Just go, and stay forever Just stay away from me An old man’s tale A wise man’s point of view Fingers lead to black Cast a shadow of you

There’s no use in cryin' anymore And don’t climb that mountain by the shore for her Now, I feel, I’m alive In tender times it all feels just right In the way I survive, In this world The light won’t let you down Fooled to be A peasant working To make ends meet Cus' there ain’t no use in cryin' anymore Father, don’t lead me down this dark and lonesome road Time will show us how the vines will grow Crooked, the minds of man Tranquility will get the best of me Cus' there ain’t no use in cryin' anymore Some people have gone before me And the one’s that left are dying What is it that stands before you And I write this song for you, my dear Some people have gone before me What is it that stands before you And one’s that are left are dying And I write this song for you, my love Some people have gone before me What is it that stands before you And one’s that are left are dying As the light shines down on you, my dear

Forsaken 02:56
These waves conclude my rest The sapphire abyss She’s nobody master, flowing now faster We are anonymous The moon plays a raging tune Submerging the sun into blue Orange and red when, painting the heavens A canvas for all to view The night is now my home In this ambient unknown Quickly surrounded, gleam by the thousands Illuminate my world My head tells me to think But these tears tell me to sink On the horizon, storms camouflaging Obsidian grace above The view is chaotic and free My last electric memory The rain starts to pour as I go overboard I was all I could ever be
