Sudden Urge
04:35
|

There´s a hole in me
A hole the size of the world
That I can´t fill
Always bleeds when I talk
Never heals
But you can´t see it
There´s a hole in me
There´s a hole in me
Like a wall
Between myself
And what it´s shown in the mirror
You know how reflections can be tricky
But Society lead us to do it
Empty shells with great displays
Such great disappointments
And sometimes
I feel a sudden urge
To break the current
Like a wall
Between myself
And what it´s shown in the mirror
You know how reflections can be tricky
But Society lead us to do it
It´s such a pity
So much beauty
Thrown away
And sometimes
A certain urge
Of rage
Invades me
Is there a light?
A light at the end of the tunnel?
And I pray to mother nature
“Will you do the favor for us?”
Wipe us out
Without mercy
Cause there´s no mercy for abusers
Wasting our lands
Wasting our minds
The coin is your life
The value of time
And sometimes
I feel a sudden urge
There´s a hole in me
There´s a hole in me
A hole the size of the world
That I can´t fill

Waves Of Chaos
03:08

KEEP CHASING GHOSTS
I´M HALF THE WAY TO NOWHERE
AND I CAN´T TURN BACK
NOTHING EVER FELT AS BAD
I GUESS I LOST MY TEMPER
BUT IT´S ALL SO SAD
WHAT ARE YOU MAD AT?
GROWN OLD TOO FAST?
WELL, YOU WON´T BE THE LAST
YOUNG MAN
RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
FATE IS MAN MADE
AND TIME
DOES NOT WAIT
BACKING VOCALS: (NOR SLOWS DOWN)
(AND TIME
IS NOT ON OUR SIDE)
YOU BETTER LEARN TO RIDE
THE WAVES OF CHAOS
BORN A STRAY
PRODIGAL IN NATURE
COULD NOT GO THE OTHER WAY
I DON´T KNOW
COME WHAT MAY
AS LONG AS WHEN I FAIL
I LEARN SOMETHING FROM IT
YOUNG MAN
RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
DON´T LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER
THERE´S NO NEED
THERE´S NO ESCAPE FROM IT
NO PLACE TO HIDE
OR REST
NO SOLUTION
NO WAY OUT
YOU BETTER LEARN TO RIDE THE WAVES OF CHAOS

The Great In-Betweeness
03:51

The sun
Burns far too bright
I´m not used to daylight
Anymore
And I´m glad
We took hands
Made the pact
Without complaints
Never blinked,
Never doubted
Cause I knew
It was the only way out
I suppose
I have a taste
For the tempest
Contorted waters
No intentions,
No direction
Sailing the waves of misery
Like a boat adrift at sea
No sign of land
No sign of wind
Forever following
The trail of haze
Sailing in the shadows
Sailing in the shadows
And I´m glad
We took hands
Made the pact
Without complaints
Never blinked,
Never doubted
Cause I knew
It was the only way
I suppose
I have a taste for the tempest
I suppose
I have a taste for the tempest
Let the water
Run through you
Purify
The impurable
Free flowing
Feel the blood
Running fast
In vessels
Far too constricted
I suppose
I have a taste for the tempest
No intentions, no direction
Sailing the waves of misery
Like a boat adrift at sea
No sign of land
No sign of wind
Forever following the trail of haze

Logicity of being
I´ve read all this
It is what it is
I keep telling it to myself
Over and over again
Grudged by empirical enquiries
Bars at my front yard, bars on my back
And the horizon
Is where the cage ends at
If I could choose,
I´d still cross the line
But it´s your choice
It´s your life
It´s your call
To not recall
Who you really are
Your true will
Your true kind
Your true heart
You´ve become
A master in disguise
Over time,
Over matter,
Over mind
Quit playing hide and seek
Go ahead, you´re not that weak
Lick your wounds
And face your fears
You´re more than blame and tears
Hostage of existence
Convicted for endless crimes
“The eyes do not lie”:
It´s obvious
We´re guilty as charged
Guilty for questioning
Reasoning why
Opposing duality
Confronting what´s right

Wrong Planet Syndrome
04:31
|
|||
I wish I could explain
But I´m too deep within
Searching the streets
With empty eyes
I feel so numb
Lost all the time
Striving to find
The reason why
I´ve seen it all before
There´s nothing left to see here
Not for me
Now I want out
Wrong planet syndrome
Under the dome
Lost and found
At the crossroads
Wrong planet syndrome
Under the dome
Wishful thinking got me here
But I´m a coward
Deep within
Wishful thinking got me here
But I´m a coward
Deep within
I´ve seen it all before
There´s nothing left to see here
Not for me
Now I want out
I feel so numb
Lost all the time
Striving to find
The reason why
Wrong planet syndrome
Under the dome
Lost and found
At the crossroads
Wrong planet syndrome
Under the dome

Stucked between
Past
And present
Between faith
And deliverance
Soaked in
But I´m Here,
Right where
where I´m supposed to be
Trying my best
To surpress
All the language traps
And the Ego
Like a Rat
Avoiding Light
Avoiding time
(And defeat)
I guess I´m right where I´m supposed to be
No dignity
Lost it all, not so long ago,
Like a prisoner
on the death row
Waiting for my sentence,
“Life or Death?”
Carrying a burden
So heavy
So heavenly dreadful
The kind of dust
that will never settle
(Like the sun sets
At peace with itself,
Aware of it´s center,
Not always shining for attention
Stucked between
Past
And present
Between faith
And deliverance
Soaked in
Soaked in
Spin the wheel
We´re all about
“Killing some time”
Take me back
To where I´m from
Back to the
Threefold sum
But I´m Here,
Right where
where I´m supposed to be
Trying my best
To surpress
All the language traps
And the Ego
Like a Rat
Avoiding Light
Avoiding time
(And defeat)
I guess I´m right
where I´m supposed to be

Even though
Even with, even when
In contempt
In the face of
Despisal
In defiance of
Against
Nothwithstanding
Even though
Even with, even when
Apathy mistaken
By Antipathy
On the other hand, bitterness
Deep within
Venemous
Rancor
Disdainfullness
Ill will
Bad blood
Black eyed
Bad blood (2xs)
On the other hand,
Per contra
Imprudence
Ill Will
Discourtesy
Black eyed
Bad blood
Black eyed
Bad blood

We All Die Alone
03:37

Can´t hide
Can´t fake
Don´t intend
To follow
(Can´t hide
Can´t fake
Don´t intend
To follow)
Cast the shadow
I´m not here to serve
And my fate is already
Heavy enough
Devouring
Bite by bite
All my hopes,
All all my dreams
Once I was also thirsty
Wanting to drink from all the wells
But the wheel
Keeps spinning
I don´t have
Any more time to waste
Anymore
Spiral leap
Overlaps
Bones to dust
Once I was also thirsty
Wanting to drink from all the wells
I´m the forger of my own faith
I´m the forger of my own faith
Cast the shadow
(I´m not here to serve)
And my fate is already
Heavy enough
(Heavy enough)
I believe in me
And sometimes
Not even
Invisible sun
Invincible soul
Cheers to the
Black Hole
Swallow me
Whole
Swallow me
Whole
Swallow me
Don´t forget that we´re apes
Hiding behind
Digital ghosts
(We are all born alone)
It feeds on your own gaps
And in the end
And we all die alone

Ocean`s Depth
05:33

I have a secret
As deep as the wound
That I carry around
I´ve got a secret
That I´ll never
Tell anyone
And it´s burning me
Inside out
It´s burning me
Inside out
And it´s burning me
Inside out
It´s burning me
Inside out
I never wanted this in the first place
I don´t know how it got into me
So quickly
I often wonder why
It ever came my way
So I keep my eyes low
And wait for it to fade
I guess it probably shows too much
I´m so not good at this
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Amber-green
As deep as the ocean
Speak to me
In ancient tongues
I could stare into them for one hundred lifetimes
Your lips
Destiny
And I will never have a taste of it
And it´s burning me
It´s burning me
Inside out
I know that you feel it too
You remember me, as I remember you
Let´s wait for it to fade
