​Live or die symphony Nightly spark no one sees A wandering soul that's long gone out of control Staring eye, empty sleep Cold night crawls over me Is this nightmare never ending for me? Time flux has not been the same Since you’ve been gone I’m floating and drifting away Like the green leaves turn to brown Like a storm that gathers And sky turns to gray Silent tears will tear me down Life has been stolen I’m fading away, away Run and hide melodies New day rise, nightly weeps Hunger for an answer I can't control Gentle touch on my skin Lights a fire within Is it my mind playing tricks on me? Time flux has not been the same Since you’ve been gone I’m floating and drifting away Like the green leaves turn to brown Like a storm that gathers And sky turns to gray Silent tears will tear me down Life has been stolen I’m fading Like the green leaves turn to brown Like a storm that gathers And sky turns to gray Silent tears will tear me down Life has been stolen I’m fading away Like the green leaves turn to brown Like a storm that gathers Silent tears will tear me down Life has been stolen, it’s been stolen Like the green leaves turn to brown Like a storm that gathers And sky turns to gray Silent tears will tear me down Life has been stolen I’m fading away, away

Mirror Image 05:13
It's said that time can heal How can that possibly be as my wounds bleed Right before my eyes Life is dripping out my veins With every beat of my heart I can't face the truth Exposed in a glass room that mirror images me I can't recognize myself I can't see a way out As I cast myself from the ice shelf I built Skyscraping walls to prevent me from getting out From my own guilt I should have been brave enough to Face my one and only enemy And do not surrender to fear And do not surrender to me Intoxicated In fear Driven by a freezing despair Looking at demons I thought I had cast out long ago I can't face the truth Exposed in a glass room that mirror images me I can't recognize myself I can't see a way out As I cast myself from the ice shelf I built Skyscraping walls to prevent me from getting out From my own guilt I should have been brave enough to Face my one and only enemy And do not surrender to fear And do not surrender I built skyscraping walls To prevent me from getting out From my own guilt I should have been brave enough to Face my one and only enemy And do not surrender to fear And do not surrender

HidePlace 04:21
I was so small And felt so fragile I could fall Still I would get up And keep walking on I saw the whole world turn ‘round And turn its back on me Cause it was easier to sit and laugh And wait for everyone to hit the wall And crash their faces But not me I never wanted it to be this way Not me I’d give my hand for you to take I’d walk alongside I’d be there to dry your tears And hold you And be your safe place And be your hideplace I’ve been through all of this before I know what it’s to stare and not be able to cross that door The mere thought of leaving is so frightening The world keeps turning ‘round and ‘round And turn its back against me Cause it is easier to sit and laugh and wait for everyone to hit the wall And crash their faces But not me I never wanted it to be this way Not me I’d give my hand for you to take I’d walk alongside I’d be there to dry your tears And hold you And be your safe place And be your hideplace I know I can't change your destiny But I can try to be your soothing breeze, oh yeah You’ve gone black and white in a grayscaled life Come out and let your colors shine I never wanted it to be this way I’d walk alongside I’d be there to dry your tears (and hold you) And be your safe place And be your hideplace And be your safe place And be your hideplace

Pieces 03:56
Looking closer It doesn’t seem I’m losing it for no reason at all Looking closer It’s easier to see the fragments of truth Scattered on the floor You can match all the parts of the Puzzle I’m broken into Pieces A shattered soul that’s tried too hard To built it up Fallen in pieces Crumbled ruins of a place destroyed in time Time after time Looking closer Catch the slightest of the details and signs of time Rotten, forgotten You can feel the air so heavy with the dust You can match all the parts of the Puzzle I’m broken into Pieces A shattered soul that’s tried too hard To built it up Fallen in pieces Crumbled ruins of a place destroyed in time Time after time I have tried so hard To a reassemble all the parts of me Make me whole so I'll break Time after time after time Pieces A shattered soul that’s tried too hard To built it up Fallen to pieces Crumbled ruins of a place destroyed in time Time after time Time after time Time after time

Mistake 04:03
Choices the bottom of my soul regrets The goodness given for the best Has taken a strange path When so much of me is at stake When I close my eyes I see all that could have been If I couldn’t feel at all Those voices saying things I know I’m not (They are telling lies and I must let them go) They haunt me in every step and breath I take (They are ghosts I must get rid of) I know it was a huge mistake I gave everything I had And even more than I thought that I could ever get I got back a knockback So tired of being crystal clear and being blinded With things they know I wanna hear I cannot take it anymore The guilt is mine to bear, so I will shut the door Those voices saying things I know I’m not (They are telling lies and I must let them go) They haunt me in every step and breath I take (They are ghost I must get rid of) I know it was a huge mistake These ghosts that haunt me I must let them go Those voices saying things I know I’m not (They are telling lies and I must let them go) They haunt me in every step and breath I take (They are ghost I must get rid of) I know it was I know it was a huge mistake

Today the taste is sour As it was three years ago My mouth is used to this bitterness I can taste it in a different way See it from a new point of view But it’s hard to make them see what they so don’t want to It’s like a charm A spell or something I cannot control When love grows so deeply in infertile soil You can catch a glimpse of light again A rise for further fall I feel so vulnerable and they know I am It’s easy to be cheated to be friends The mere touch of a hand is enough To make me feel like I'm alive again It’s like a charm A spell or something I cannot control When love grows so deeply in infertile soil You can catch a glimpse of light again A rise for further fall I thought I could be protective But I can’t do so for myself This illusion hides the pain away Showing off as bold is tiring, drains away All that’s left inside of me It’s like a charm A spell or something I cannot control When love grows so deeply in infertile soil You can catch a glimpse of light again A rise for further fall A rise for further fall A rise for further fall

Hyperbolic 05:20
My shoulders are overburden with the weight of the world My joints are all melting on my burning blood flush These people are staring Laying eyes over me as I am wasted away No one ever says “hey how are you?” “do you need anything?” “What have you been through?” Time will tell, time will tell But how long? But how long? And I know what there is inside And the worst is that I never miss, I never miss And I never get things wrong Wrong impressions are not my own Are not my own Feeling like my brain is about to blow up Like I run a race I can never catch up Persecution doesn't sound maniac to me As I am chased away Everyone’s asking what did you do? Did it mean anything? What I have been through Time will tell, time will tell But how long? But how long? And I know what there is inside And the worst is that I never miss, I never miss And I never get things wrong Wrong impressions are not my own Are not my own Time will tell, time will tell But how long? But how long? And I know what there is inside And the worst is that I never miss, I never miss And I never get things wrong Wrong impressions are not my own Are not my own Time will tell But how long? But how long? Time will tell Time will tell

Intentions can be the best But who said you can measure that? It’s all inside of you The world may be too much Or too little from another’s point of view It’s all inside of you Think someone would try to make me smile… In vain Think one’s world would turn around my life… In vain ‘Cause hearts are no man’s lands Although I wish it could be that I’d reach out for your hand Leave these wastelands I find myself in Look around, don’t see a thing Look away cause it hurts to face the truth It’s all inside of you Try to find a way out Leading to nowhere else than a road To go inside of you Open eyes and ears and arms and soul… In vain All that’s coming from outside will not remain ‘Cause hearts are no man’s lands Although I wish it could be that I’d reach out for your hand Leave these wastelands I find myself in ‘Cause hearts are no man’s lands Although I wish it could be that I’d reach out for your hand Leave these wastelands I find myself in a no man’s land I find myself In a no man’s land

Masquerade 05:30
Smiles have turned out to be hiding a selfish kind You speak up like you spill out what is on your mind All of the sudden reality strikes when it comes to advantages You’re thinking, obviously, only about yourself And you’re pretending to care about someone else Well it is not mandatory to step into other one's shoes Being human, feeling human How can you not feel at all? Being human, feeling human How can you live when someone else is not? Masquerade Run away Suffering will come anyway Run away Run away Run away Run away You can’t pretend that you are not part of a whole But you can hide and see all things through a keyhole Run away and shift axis of problems with Your hands washed in blood Every sign of demise that there is in here Every actual demise that there is in here All of your linen is tainted with all of the guilt that you hold Being human, feeling human How can you not feel at all? Being human, feeling human How can you live when someone else is not? Masquerade Run away Suffering will come anyway Masquerade Run away Suffering will come anyway Run away Run away Run away Run away Being human, feeling human Being human How can you live When you’re hiding behind a mask When you’re trying to run away Suffering will come anyway Masquerade Run away Suffering will come anyway Masquerade Run away Suffering will come anyway Run away Run away Run away Run away

A New Stand 05:42
The eye of mind is open wide The piercing words enter my brain And I feel alive again I can stand up and fight once again When purity reveals the truth The things that are, “the what it is” I can stand and a new day begins I have to believe it was all meant to be Those days are over Sorrow is gone I will grow older Knowing that all that I’ve done Never turned to dust Never turned to dust Never was in vain And if I could I’d do it all again Because it’s not my fault They see a chance and try To burn down the walls When purity reveals the truth, The things that are, “the what it is” I can stand and a new day begins I have to believe it was all meant to be Those days are over Sorrow is gone I will grow older Knowing that all that I’ve done Never turned to dust Never turned to dust Those days are over Sorrow is gone I will grow older Knowing that all that I’ve done Never turned to dust Never turned to dust

It's been the darkest days The darker side of me The part I try my best to hide From everyone that's near The hands so used to showing Somebody else's flaws Hold the same fingers pointing towards me Three times more The pain is unbearable The fear inconceivable The will to leave it all is unbelievable The darkest of nights Show the brightest of stars I will let them guide my way (Please take me from this dark place) The coldest of daybreaks will Bathe me in sunlight And hold me in a warm embrace that Fills me in with light and sets me free The strength inside my soul Cornered somewhere I can't reach out I hear that I must go Will I ever do this somehow Stare at nothingness The void that's filled me in No whos, or hows or wheres No craves upon my dreams The only way out is to dive all the way in The only way out is to dive all the way in The darkest of nights Show the brightest of stars I will let them guide my way (Please take me from this dark place) The coldest of daybreaks will Bathe me in sunlight And hold me in a warm embrace that Fills me in with light and sets me free
