Nyctalopia 04:04
Reborn into a brighter shade With hopes to never touch the ground Fight your way through a jungle of thorns The worst is surely behind us now But where is the way? Lay down to rest the night away Contemplating where to turn Dreams of the end transcend boundaries Lost in the moment and the way The stars disappear You've been shut out Denied life Running through time Your dreams ran away Traverse the unknown in the dark night Followed by shadows cast by moonlight Running for your life Desperate for the sunrise But it just set But it just set But it just set For the last time Closing in This is it Swallowed whole by Nothing at all Your dreams have run away

Glow 04:54
It's the nothing hour Pale world outside my window Storm clouds invade my head Crushing the plans of a new day Nothing has changed My worlds still spins In blissful freedom My mind can't speak But my soul can breathe In this empty space Nothing to do or say But drink the wine of life And as I drift away My dreams evolve into the next day Concern is dead My worlds still spins In blissful freedom My mind can't speak But my soul can breathe In this empty space All that has kept me sane Is what drives others insane My own life My own time My own mind So far away My own life (All that has kept me sane) My own time My own mind (Is what drives others insane) So far away

I wondered why they disappeared I never thought I'd see this day She always knew their seperate ways Living in the world of yesterday I saw it all and walked away No one is the same It's gonna fall in favor's way It's all inside you Overthink, overcomplicate Let chance take control over you Look downward to the waking eyes Fall victim to aching hours I knew tomorrow and yesterday But not today Contradicting moments in time All over the ways Of doing nothing at all Condescending

Motionless 04:18
Complications bring words of Remembrance to the ear Although the motions are silent They've only just begun Visions of sunsets Are smothered by sunrise What has begun must resolve In an ending that forgoes and forsakes a world of gloom Severed clean, you are now free From the desperate grasps of a drowning soul none other than your own The sight gives light to three degrees of sorrow fear and joy The soul submerges and you are reborn into a motionless snapshot of gold Clocks without a time The weight of broken dreams will be lifted off your shoulders If footsteps follow their own tracks And never turn around The world will remain forever motionless But you will rest with content As the clockwork slowly winds down Never to make a sound Never to make a sound

Angelina 06:34
Velvet eyes shining right through me As she softly whispers into my ears I'm at peace when she speaks to me Yet her words are incomprehensible Lost, falling through violet blurs She will find a way to save my life She walks closely distant by my side Invisible to all the others My mistress is one of a kind Ethereal, invading my dreams A mystery left alone Lost, falling through violet blurs She will find a way to save my life Even though she's the danger She will find a way to save my life This could be the last time that I ever walk the earth I will dissolve into her flesh Forever lost within another universe Content with just the two of us

Coda 06:53
Can I ever see What it is to me That screams aloud through the hour We all want to know Can't we ever lay Down for a rest once in a while Impossible to say It couldn't ever be this way Who would want to hold out for this fate We parade through the streets On nothing but a whim Just to get our minds off it all A moment the insane Would want to go away Within the blink of an eye I tried I tried It still went away And I have seen All I could imagine Run away Exhausted effort Sleep it all away To pass the time No one at all Could fathom every call Of authorities Climbing over the walls In the cheerless cries Of the overwhelmed lives They have found a way To finally escape To finally live To finally catch some rest It couldn't ever be this way Who would want to hold out for this fate I've wandered around for days and days Only to return to the start The end The end The end The cycle repeats now
