Awakened 04:08
I walk slowly through the gates and into the unknown Seeking your guidance, but unwilling to listen All hail the undecided, all hail the other side Regaining consciousness and sent forth into madness All hail the unforgiving, all hail the other side Infinitely bound to the judge inside us all Soul asleep, dreaming deep Breathe into me Life newly found Awakened at the sound of your voice calling me home Wishing I could see the mountains at my feet They hinder me Slowly, indefinitely All hail the unforgiving All hail the decider of life All of this time I wasted Seeking your guidance but unwilling to listen All of these years forsaken Forced to live within an empty fear Closing your eyes to see, batting a blind eye at the starting line Your world upside down The palace you built is crumbling Your world upside down Look at me The product of your selfishness surfaces and comes to light So take a look into my eyes, and tell me I'm not worth the fight Breathe into me Life newly found, awakened at the sound of your voice calling me home (Coming home) Forced to live within an empty fear I am awake

Jane Doe 03:22
Now I see everything, how lost we happen to be Here, now, I'm not fucking proud But my choice was resigned Decisions that I've made outweigh the changes to repay I don't know how it's come this far But I'm here left with this hollowed shell, an empty room It’s nothing to come home to But when it’s said and done, oh it’s gone Babe, babe So what the fuck did you think this was? Hey, hey I bet you thought I’d give up I bet you thought I wouldn’t give a fuck In the end, it’s just another way to push my luck Why stop here? Why stop now? They put the salt in your eyes It's my time to shine You'll see my way, I'll break your face Hate everything, everything means nothing in the end Everything fucking means nothing in the end How long will it have to take for the days of jaded memories To subside in me? Hollowed shell, an empty room It’s nothing to come home to But when it’s said and done, oh its gone (I see everything) Now I see everything, how lost we happen to be Here, now I'm not fucking proud But my choice was resigned Decisions that I've made Outweigh the changes to repay I don't know how it's come this far But I'm here left with this, hollowed shell, an empty room. It’s nothing to come home to But when it’s said and done It’s my turn to shine

Disconnect 03:39
Torn almost precisely Two halves that once resembled a whole, Leaving me stranded here in the cold So fleeting the feeling of certainty Bracing for the worst, it’s in my dreams Left to wonder what is real, and what deceives Disconnected from the outside, you don’t see What I see, what I do, I’m not real, is it true? With everything I’ve overcome, it’s all for you I am who resides inside your head Disconnected from everyone you see I am who resides inside your head Disconnected from every apology The time has come to set myself free To spread the distance between you and me So tell me what it is you see In the cracks of our foundation The brick and mortar dissolves into ashes It falls apart, slowly and elegantly Though this wasn’t the first time Love lives no longer for me inside It falls apart, slowly and elegantly And within each day I find the means to survive I’ll take the long way home It falls apart, slowly and elegantly The time has come to set myself free To spread the distance between you and me Between you and me

I’m lost inside a haze of my own thoughts again So pull me out, pull me out I can feel the life escape me Lost between two worlds inside my head again You know my name, but you'll never see my face Take me back to the willows Haunting and familiar, embracing me at a distance And only time will tell, you'll see: this is your private hell The walls are coming down, I can feel it all around me What is this place? The floods are coming back Pulled towards the light,but you'll never feel it's warmth You know my mark, so bow in my presence (Romanian) Take me back to the willows Haunting and familiar Embracing me at a distance And only time will tell if i'll ever make it out You know my name but youll never see my face The walls are coming down Bow down to me Embracing me at a distance, and only time will tell in the end Bow down to me lost inside a haze of my own thoughts again Lost between two worlds inside my head I can feel the life escape me And only time will tell, you’ll see: this is your private hell Lost inside a haze of my own thoughts again Lost between two worlds inside my head I can feel the life escape me Pull me out Pull me the fuck out (Romanian) Take me back to the willows Haunting and familiar Embracing me at a distance And only time will tell if I'll ever make it out You know my name but you'll never see my face

Dethroned 03:48
Here we stand Eye to eye, toe to toe Flash focus shining bright in your own undertow We saw your end game right from the start Searching for someone else's mind inside your heart We will never sleep, we stop at nothing The thorn in your side becomes the sword Receiving endlessly, yet earning nothing The thorn in your side becomes the sword This is my final sin To take what's left and throw it all away Like a frame without a picture Looking right through you It's not that hard to see You wear it on your sleeve Do you remember your head you held so high? To end the rule of thief, dethroned Now say goodbye Do you remember your head you held so high? (Dethroned) Do you remember your eyelids closing tight? (Closing tight) Dethroned This is my final sin To take what's left and throw it all away (Dethroned) Flash frames are not in focus, But these negatives are the same shade of shame This is my final sin To take what's left and throw it all away Dethroned Flash frames are not in focus, But these negatives are the same shade of shame This is my final sin

Look straight ahead and you'll see it staring back Always watching, never acting Silent and unyielding Where the fallen forever lay Where our weaknesses decide our fate These roads are laid out before us Guide us not as our captain Free to do as we please Take these burdens and allow us to travel with ease The seas part and fire reigns This forking path in our pre-destiny (Pre-destiny) The tightrope narrows One false step ends in disaster I can see my end approaching Faster and faster Walk with me through agony Misery loves company This forking path in our pre-destiny These roads are laid out before us Guide us not as our captain Free to do as we please Take these burdens and allow us to travel with ease Free to do as we please The seas part and fire reigns This forking path in our pre-destiny One life, one shot, one chance to take it all away I see my footprints in the earth
