Ignition 02:24
This is no weakness Yet I'll need true strength to escape this rage And seek refuge in affection Reckless behaviour, a satisfaction to me Driven by fear of seeing past the wrath inside If I won't tie up these loose ends These ropes will drag me down I give my word that I will reach out my hand When the time is right I give my word that I will be a better man When the time is right If I won't tie up these loose ends These ropes will drag me down Just give me time to overcome this feeling That empathy is a weakness Can I spread love?

In this collapsing world Devastation and death come crashing down so fast This is the stability I seek The stability I need I just can't grasp the turmoil all around me The harder I try The more I'm failing to see If consumption makes you who you are I guess I'm just the nobody you always saw in me Still challenging my choices A constant inner fight But this one question remains unasked In this collapsing world Devastation and death come crashing down so fast This is the stability I seek The stability I need I just can't grasp the turmoil all around me The harder I try The more I'm failing to see Unclouded and focused - my one true drive Unclouded and focused - this makes me feel alive Unclouded and focused- guiding my own way Unclouded and focused - kept in fucking stone Straight Edge May this X be a reminder of who I'm striving to be Every day

True Sight 01:20
One storm has almost passed Yet the next one is just waiting in line "You're riding high in April Shot down in May" How many times will I have to take this beating? How many times will you force me to strike back? I can't believe it has come to this You continue to pour your poison onto everything I do Yet still I can't help but feel fucking sorry for you You wanna see me fail, but I will prove you wrong

I've felt blue for so long That I almost forgot the reason why Finding myself in this conversation once again: "Why do you find comfort in sadness? Just be brave enough to exist" The cynic in me wants to respond: "Blind faith in life means keeping your cover down and I'm not ready to get knocked out again, for I'm still on my knees" Why can't I just see? Show me how to reach for things I need Show me how to hear these words you say I'm starting to drown Show me how to feel something again Show me how to say these words of trust I'm reaching out, so I can finally feel your touch No more pain.

Reach 03:05
My whole life I've perceived myself through someone else's eyes (I've) witnessed my thoughts and my opinions as someone else's lies I gotta escape And I will never be able to grow If severe defeats keep pulling me down Less and less I feel like a real person But who am I? Tell me who am I? I'm here to say goodbye to the views of this twisted world Stop forcing myself into this shape I can't relate to Everyday greatness is what I seek Yet introspection is what I truly need I gotta escape Run away I gotta escape I just can't stay Relieve me of this pressure Demands that just weigh nothing I'm pulling the plug Let's fucking live
6.
Wave Nature 01:39
You stand by my side and wait for me to let you down again "Just collateral damage" I heard you say. Two lovers holding their daily crisis at bay I've lost my sight Just can't evade and we got hit by reality once again You stand by my side and wait for me to let you down again I let you down
7.
What if we gave all we have instead of taking it all away? What if we created for those in need instead of destroying everything they seek? I got no answers, only questions I got no solutions Maybe just these false conclusions What if we gave all we have instead of taking it all away? What if we created for those in need instead of destroying everything they seek? And I too just seek for a reason Can it be so simple? Isn't it just time? Do we need to wake up? Or are we just fucking dumb? The smartest heads in here preach to fight fire with fire is the way to go, yet why is it always pain not peace left to save? Why is it always pain not peace left to save? Can it be so simple? Isn't it just time? Do we need to wake up? Or are we just fucking dumb?

Evasion 01:43
Compassion is not a passing phase Or a trend to claim before you toss it away Because this bloodshed remains. Surrounded by excessive wealth And too afraid to realise what's on your plate This story has been told countless times before Yet ignorance still reigns Their pain exists even when you look away Because the killing goes on Surrounded by excessive wealth and too afraid to realise what's on your plate This story has been told countless times before Yet ignorance still reigns You say that it's wrong You just couldn't quit But that's not doing the trick my friend Day by day they are dying for your own abundance Stop looking away They don't need good will But your true conviction to survive

Supernova 02:12
"Ignorance and self-deception" is a song that's been sung by humanity loud & clear Especially by the ones with nothing else to fear There is pain and hurt all around But they're too busy to shuffle out of true responsibility No willingness, no change Out of touch Why should they learn? A shiny trophy has to stay clean. This starts and ends with you. No realisation that their privilege serves as the most selfish voice You're part of the issue too And it starts and ends with you

Shine 03:55
There's a difference between now & then And now it's my time to shine again There's a difference between now & then And now I'm finally finding inner strength (And) I seek chaos in lightning to find comfort in thunder I seek craze in this tempest to find calm in this rain This past year I've spend more time thinking about Defeat than fighting for what I truly need This past year I've learned a lot about weakness And now I'm striving against my fears with force (And) I seek chaos in lightning to find comfort in thunder I seek craze in this tempest To find calm in this rain Taking back control over my own life. Taking back control - I've made up my mind
