Limbo 04:26
Not that I know how But my days go by And I've been sinking, overthinking Just how to rewind the flow of time Yet I know only to desaturate Everything already bleak and grey Denying peace of mind Happiness left behind Nothing for you is ever good enough Better quarantine that wasted life That wasted life Day by day I'm suffocating And bringing down the end of me Never mind what tomorrow's gonna be All I hear is but a same old melody Uttering That still I am stuck in a limbo Stuck in a limbo A pendulum of buried honesty Swings away another lucid dream A selfish alibi Only to clarify A family recipe for a broken heart Better cover up your ignorance With a mask With a mask Day by day I'm suffocating And bringing down the end of me Never mind what tomorrow's gonna be All I hear is but a same old melody Uttering That still I am stuck in a limbo So Is this, is this A pandemic of your own recklessness That's spreading through your veins? Day by day I'm suffocating And bringing down the end of me Never mind what tomorrow's gonna be All I hear is but a same old melody Uttering That still I am stuck in a limbo Stuck in a limbo So tell me, tell me Is there a vaccine for my loneliness?

I'm counting days to the melody Of your voice, that eventually Will be nothing but a memory We're both afraid to say That all this has to end Sea will wash away Everything we had The anchor we both shared I will watch you go While the waves will make you slowly disappear And I'll be left forsaken, masquerading It's all okay and this is how it's meant to be Go That this is how it's meant to be I just wish I had more time To find the flaws behind your eyes So it's easier to say goodbye Yet we both masquerade Tomorrow's not the day When you'll sail away On sails with no regrets No regrets I will watch you go While the waves will make you slowly disappear And I'll be left forsaken, masquerading It's all okay and this is how it's meant to be This is how it's meant to be That you're not lost to the sea So here we are I'm here to stay And you're the one to sail away Lost to the waves Both you and me A shipwreck always meant to sink So here we are I'm here to stay And you're the one to sail away Lost to the waves Both you and me A shipwreck always meant to I will watch you go While the waves will make you slowly disappear And I'll be left forsaken, masquerading It's all okay and this is how it's meant to be This is how it's meant to be And I'm sorry girl, that I won't tag along 'Cause it's to the waves That you belong

Beacon 04:15
So far away Have we gone While the world led us astray We fought our way home Every time I thought I was given up, given up I always knew That you're my beacon in the dark And everything that we've been through Will never define me or you I know there's nothing that we both can't do When all hopes go away you're always there for me Helping me justify who I'm supposed to be And I feel obligated To being hurt and hated When I'm given up, given up I always know That you're my beacon in the dark And everything that we've been through Will never define me or you I know there's nothing that we both can't do There is nothing that we both can't do I know it's hard When you're looking back Thinking how many scars your heart can ever take That's when I'm there to say It's all gonna be ok Much better than yesterday We know our paths were never littered with gold Same as those empty words that we both have been told But we will cast it all away We will banish all succubi Banish all succubi of this world When I'm given up, given up I always know that you're my beacon in the dark And everything that we've been through Will never define me or you I know there's nothing that we both can't do 'Cause we both have our lights to follow 'Cause we both have our lights to follow A beacon we both have in each other

Borneo 03:44
I always dreamt of seeing the polar lights To make amends for all the time I've lost To visit oceans, out in the open Ride the dunes of the lands so golden To see the vastness of the world unfold Before my eyes Yet instead I'm Locked away in cell of my mind 'Cause walls in this cell are so rigid And I've built them instead of bridges I hide away within this prison cell Afraid to say that I'm too broken to go Looking out over to the yonder All the way, go past the horizon Instead of being put to shame I'll stand up and say Here I go To find my Borneo Where I'll be, where I'll be Remains written on my walls for now Who I'll be, who I'll be But a pilgrim on my way to find A secret compass to navigate my life To stand up and say Here I go To find my Borneo To escape the state of my mind That's been eating me from the inside out To leave the cell behind To see the temples out in the jungle Get lost in Bermuda Triangle To se the mountains rise over the clouds Right after I Break away from cell of my mind Break walls in this cell that's so rigid And instead of them I'll build bridges Where I'll be, where I'll be Remains written on my walls for now Who I'll be, who I'll be But a pilgrim on my way to find A secret compass to navigate my life To stand up and say Here I go To find my Borneo To escape the state of my mind That's been eating me from the inside out To leave the cell behind To leave the cell behind

Gala Dubious 03:21
I lead the way Thinking I've known enough Of this cliché This fable I've overdone Fable I've overdone This is an oddity, a lunacy It is a wicked ball that wasn't meant to be I dance around the laughter That should have been mine I contemplate hereafter And waltz around the things I should have done now Unless somebody holds me down I will crown the king of doubt And anything I might feel now is But despair and fear of what's yet to be Or should have been And anything you might do now is To help me breathe silently This is a pageant of anxiety It is a promenade of how I don't believe In any step that I take And how I always hesitate And anything I might feel now is But despair and fear of what's yet to be Or should have been And anything you might do now is To help me breathe silently To the melody I'm led astray by my own disbelief in a gown of haste So here we are Together we're bound to waltz around This dubious gala King of doubt waltzes around And as good as this dance might be I will collapse it from within I'll always be stepping on feet Feet of who I wanna be

Hollow 03:11
Shackled up in your own home now Forbidden to let go Blessed by the light of a fallen star You glow And I'll never know, and I'll never know now What it's like to hold you anymore Why did it have to find you And I'll never go, and I'll never go now I'm never gonna leave you anymore I will be right behind you Why of all the pure souls, why Why did it have to be yours Why does waiting feel like an old man's frown Feels like it's never gone All the pain with no meaning Is the one that binds you It remains, so deceiving Like the life without you So where's the reason? For these hollow binds The ungodly treason That scarred all your life And I'll never know, and I'll never know now What it's like to hold you anymore Why did it have to find you All that pain with no meaning The one that binds you And all the pain remains so deceiving Like the life without you Without you

Woekeepers 03:40
So here we are We're the Woekeepers Here comes another gloomy fall dejection Better embrace it all Another day with something in the air That's bringing out despair I guess it's meant to be, to dwell inside of me To tell me this is my reality It's like a storm of desolation In which we're marching on We keep marching on Against all odds we're together Chanting hymns that to us matter We are the voices that echo on Into the mist below We go, we go, we go Yet we still sing along This ballad of our downfall We know, we know, we know Learning all there is to know Through the pain and woe Against the will of those who still justify their own means Up this hill Our thoughts are purified of the needs that bind us down We lay the path against everything that's to be said and done, 'cause Against all odds, we're together Chanting hymns that to us matter We are the voices that echo on Into the mist below We go, we go, we go Yet we still sing along This ballad of our downfall We know, we know, we know Learning all there is to know Through the pain and woe We're choking on this feeling That decides and makes us whole Yet still disappearing To where we do belong We draw the naivity from our thoughts We go, we go, we go Yet we still sing along This ballad of our downfall We know, we know, we know Learning all there is to know Through the pain and woe

Stranded on the shores of lethargy I despise all that I'm meant to be An empty descendant of my remaining sanity Who wept as the poison spread I try to find My own desire In parallels of the days, so dark I carry the light I carry this omen on my back Hemispheres are being torn apart Like the canvas of my state of mind So blank and dry I feel my fantasy slipping away From back and white to nothingness And then the canvas stays the same Same I try to find The one true color Motivations starting to collide An allegory of a broken mind Witness this shattering icon A poem with no rhymes A song with no bars A play with no parts I write I feel my fantasy slipping away From back and white to nothingness And then the canvas stays the same I'm giving it all, afraid to say That I'm starting to understand This void that fills my Head I try to find The world that's under

You peel your eyes To the ground Disguised you keep Harnessing your solitary cyanide You hold inside Hoping that you might be someone else Maybe like that pretty picture you took of yourself Blinded by the world outside With nothing to lose Not willing to justify That you're the one to choose Not to be an imprint of all that you have left Of all the things that you've always said You hide yourself From world around if nothing else You roam around in emptiness You blind yourself With pixelated vows you see You slowly left reality Far behind Yet you still push yourself through the crowd Neglecting all your surroundings, you run From all your problems, all your lies, into your vice, to your demise And then if somebody stands in your path You run them down for there is nothing that might show you how You might live your life You hide yourself From world around if nothing else You roam around in emptiness You blind yourself With pixelated vows you see You slowly left reality Far behind Now - it's time To loose you vows To draw the line Step aside

Who am I to tell you to know To follow those things you've let go A nihilistic, egoistic soul you've met before I wish to make you see Past you dignity To go ahead and not to become... well... me But who you deserve to be I'm sorry I can't let you know That days that await you will crush you like those times before To tell you that scars on your heart Won't heal over night Won't heal over night Over the somber lines as far as you can read I'll build this house of glass to trap your misery I'll be that lost childishness, you really miss I'll be your catalyst Like a phantom in the mist I'm sorry I can't let you know That days that await you will crush you like those times before To tell you that scars on your heart Won't heal over night Won't heal over night They won't head over night Shards of suspense lurk inside Trapped within that house of glass Push them back Through the lines sent back in time Some people feel Like they don't deserve love They walk away quietly into the empty spaces Trying to close the gaps of the past Who am I to tell you to know How will it feel tomorrow Will house of glass stand or collapse Or will you close it's door I know that it can be Hard to remedy But all I want is you to believe I built this house of glass for you I built this house of glass for you I built this house of glass for you I built this house of glass for you Who am I to tell you to know To follow those things you've let go A nihilistic, egoistic soul you've met before I wish to make you see Past you dignity To go ahead and to become me I built this house of glass for you I built this ho Use of glass for you I built this house of glass for you I built this house of glass For you
