Afterglow 04:19
Afterglow I've been sinking down the ocean floor I found something I have lost before In a double phased world down below We're living in the Afterglow The weight of the past hits deep, it's critical In a place called home, it's so cynical Does it happen again, I thought I'm through it all But it goes on and on again When the weight pulls on me And the colors fade to grey This is not the life we're meant to live It bursts my heart Tears my soul apart The void is burning me again I hear the echoes calling echoes calling home All I know Wherever I will go I will keep falling for the afterglow The world that I knew, it has been torn apart Give me a break, give me another shot Every tear, every scar, every smile, has led to nothing If it leads to nothing Why should I feel something Walking on the surface Of something I don't know This is how it feels Living in the afterglow When the weight pulls on me And the colors fade to grey This is not the life we're meant to live It bursts my heart tears my soul apart This void is burning me again I hear the echoes calling echoes calling home All I know Wherever I will go I will keep falling for the afterglow I will keep falling I've been sinking down the ocean floor Where I found something I have lost before In a double phased world down below We're living in the Afterglow Burst my heart It tears my soul apart We'll always live in the afterglow

Meant to live I can see all the trouble you're in I can see that it's under your skin And how it's moving you (change - it's gonna change - it's gonna change) You are fighting, but no one believes In the person you're trying to be Is it worth it? (change - it's gonna change - it's gonna change) But you keep moving on Take another way Keep your head up high Chances come in waves Maybe we got to sit back and take our time Wait and pray 'til the stars align Be the calm right before the storm To come back again We got memories we can not erase We live nightmares we can not escape But we fight 'cause we're meant to live We feel hopeless, and fall in disgrace We are restless, alone and afraid But we fight 'cause we're meant to live What has it turn to, breathe in and look back Haven't you noticed, you're walking again Remember the ache that has moved through your bones Don't you feel strong with this fire Cause you kept walking on, took another way Kept your head up high, chances come in waves We just need to sit back and take our time just Wait and pray 'til the stars align We were the calm now we are the storm To come back again We got memories we can not erase We live nightmares we can not escape But we fight 'cause we're meant to live We feel hopeless, and fall in disgrace We are restless, alone and afraid But we fight 'cause we're meant to live Change - it's gonna change But you keep walking on Take another way Keep your head up high Chances come in waves Change - it's gonna change We got memories we can not erase We live nightmares we can not escape But we fight 'cause we're meant to live We feel hopeless, and fall in disgrace We are restless, alone and afraid But we fight 'cause we're meant to live

War 03:48
War Something is wrong, something is going on, something that I can't see It's like a war inside me I'm feeling lost, feeling trapped, I think they call it anxiety Why do I feel so empty It's like a parasite, living inside my mind Leaving a mess behind Call the alert Can't you hear this sound Clock’s ticking but the time stands still 'cause I'm lost again War inside me, I can't see clearly Lights are fading but I'm blind in my prison anyway Running backwards, get closer to the edge Something is wrong, something is going on, something that I can't see It's like a war inside me I see you talking to me, but there is nothing I hear Is this meant to be real I feel a crack in my head, my own personal threat Is this meant to be me Can't you hear this sound Clock’s ticking but the time stands still 'cause I'm lost again War inside me, I can't see clearly Lights are fading but I'm blind in my prison anyway running backwards, get closer to the edge Hoping my steps will carry me home I can not do this alone war inside me I can't see clearly But nothing's left and everyones gone I gotta face the storm Running backwards Get closer to the edge Hoping my steps will carry my home I can not do this alone I feel I'm all alone here Nothing's left and everyone's gone I gotta face the storm Hoping my feet will carry me home I can not do this alone I feel like I'm meant to be left alone So I just hope my steps will carry me home Can't you see the war inside me, fighting every day Is this meant to be real, why is this all on me It's like a parasite, living here inside my mind I'm going down now Call the alert

Flightless Bird All this time I am locked in my own maze I built it up from memories I think it's quite okay But sometimes it's bursting me with fear When I am on my way Try to find a way out here It seems I just can't change It is far too long I feel out of breath Will you carry on If I can't make these steps Will you guide me through Will you take my hand Will you stay with me 'til I understand But it's like snowflakes in the summer Like fallen leaves in Spring I'm feeling lost and lonely when I'm in a happy place I feel like I'm a flightless bird Fall for each and every word To tear my heart again Did I make my way? Did I get out alive? Now that I have made it through How can I leave behind This will always be a memory An oil stain on a deep blue sea An ugly crack on a lonely street And I have to live my life with it But it's like snowflakes in the summer Like fallen leaves in Spring I'm feeling lost and lonely when I'm in a happy place I feel like a flightless bird Fall for each and every word To tear my heart again Here I go with these broken wings I'm a flightless bird and I accept this fate With a broken soul and heavy heart Living from your lasting love It's like I'm chasing down this feeling As I try to hide away Wish I could fly above it But I'm lost in my own grave And every time I try to feel Like we're back in 2016 I hear you calling out for me Flightless Birds we're meant to be But it's like snowflakes in the summer Like fallen leaves in Spring I'm feeling lost and lonely when I'm in a happy place I feel like a flightless bird Fall for each and every word To tear my heart again I feel like a flightless bird Fall for each and every word

Serenade 03:31
Serenade It's time again to show me how you easily appear You call for me I fall for you yeah this is how we live It's time again you show me how you easily control my life Sometimes you leave me but at night you'll be right here And I Sing you a Serenade So you can sleep and keep me Wide awake You keep on pulling me down To the darkest parts of me I thought I never gonna live Through these days So here I am sing you a serenade I tried to cut you off of me and throw us all away But you just put me in my place and comfort me to stay I know you won't give up on me and this is why we ain't gon' change There ain't a single doubt about the fact that I'll be here Sing you a Serenade So you can sleep and keep me Wide awake You keep on pulling me down To the darkest parts of me I thought I never gonna live Through these days So here I am sing you a serenade I try I try I really try To keep you keep you off my mind But after every turn I take I feel you rushing through my veins I try I try I really try To keep you keep you off my mind But after every turn I take I'll still be here with you sing you a Serenade So you can sleep and keep me Wide awake And I keep singing you a Serenade So you can sleep and keep me Wide awake You keep on pulling my down To the darkest parts of me I thought I never gonna live Through these days So here I am sing you a serenade

Oxygen 03:12
Oxygen In case you hear me, you might be listening Cause you're always around me when I feel like I'm blistering When I'm choking, when I'm down in the deepest of all the bottoms So if you hear me say "Hi", cause I need to tell you something I try to go, you hold me close I felt your branches became my roots I try to go, you call me home I know I will surrender So I I pray for a remedy I'm begging you to have mercy On me On my trembling, crooked soul Do you remember the first time you got me down, 4 years ago It has been the first time I got you to know I try to go, you hold me close I felt your branches became my roots I try to go, you call me home I know I will surrender So I I pray for a remedy I'm begging you to have mercy On me On my trembling, crooked soul You take my Oxygen You steal the air that I breathe You take my Oxygen You pin me down and watch me bleed What I am, is what you've made of me Pull me down, crawling under my skin What I am, is what you've made of me You chew me up, spit me out and watch me bleed I try to go, you hold me close I try to go, you call me home So I I pray for a remedy I'm begging you to have mercy On me On my trembling, crooked soul

Breakout 03:34
Breakout I might say my mind is gone Still I know where my heart belongs Locked up, this misery In sound I still can feel free Though I feel like my mind is gone Still I know where my heart belongs Hang on, lend me your ears I'll show you how, no need to fear It's a phrase, just a line away Open your eyes, speak to me It's the air that we breathe into our lungs It's the medicine that is keeping us alive You can take all that I have Turn my world upside down And I might say my mind is gone Still I know where my heart belongs No, no, you'll never mess this, you'll never mess this You can take all that I have Turn my world upside down And I might say my mind is gone Still I know where my heart belongs Feeling the beat inside your head Don't you notice Feeling it moving through your chest Don't you know it I am awake but living a nightmare It's a nightmare But I know where my heart belongs No, no, you'll never mess this, you'll never mess this You can take all that I have Turn my world upside down And I might say my mind is gone Still I know where my heart belongs I'm awake but living a nightmare Is this real, do you tell me the truth But after all that I've seen, at least I still can believe That we're supposed to be one So this is where my heart belongs Run run, running dry in this lockdown Push push, moving on 'til we breakout Run run, running dry in this lockdown Push push, moving on 'til we breakout Run run, running dry in this lockdown Push push, moving on 'til we breakout Run run, running dry in this lockdown But one day we will gonna breakout We're gonna breakout And I know where my heart belongs I am awake but living a nightmare Is this real, do you tell me the truth But after all that I've seen, at least I still can believe That we are supposed to be one So this is where my heart belongs

The Surface 03:06
The Surface That noise, it's all in my head Calls out, I reached the surface It's a bend and break, it's a twist of fate I got nothing left to lose, let it go it's way A thousand gears connected But something inside is changing Too dark to see, but you can feel Subliminal thoughts, what is this meant to be Days end, it is chasing you down Giving in, can not take on the past right now Locked chains in the cave of despair You wanna come with me I gonna be with you I will be right here With this cross to bear It's all in my head Help me out Cause it goes faster, further, into the unknown Moving forward, no fear, no shame, to what we could become We are bleeding for a place, we don't belong, Turn our backs and escape the afterglow Going higher than we ever were before Chasing all of our dreams, not afraid to fall I see the surface, I'm reaching out We built our walls, now we break it down That noise, it's all in my head Calls out, I have reached the surface Tight rope, but the ties are bursting Born to live, still I need to learn this High hopes in a cave of despair You wanna come with me I gonna be with you Step by step we move Hear the sound that goes Writings on the wall Let the curtain fall Why can't I find the last missing piece Why do I still roam in agony Why do I still sometimes feel like shit Although it feels like I'm back at it Cause it goes faster, further, into the unknown Moving forward, no fear, no shame, to what we could become We are bleeding for a place, we don't belong, Turn our backs and escape the afterglow Going higher than we ever were before Chasing all of our dreams, not afraid to fall I see the surface, I'm reaching out We built our walls, now we break it down Now we break it down Yeah we break the surface To live a life less worthless

Something Inside of Me It's like there's something inside of me Something I can't see, but I feel That there's something so dark in me Pulling me to my knees, So that I can't sleep, I can't feel It's like there's something inside of me You say there's nothing about it You can control all your feelings Take a look in that mirror Yes, your make up seems perfect You say these problems are vanity You'd never fall for delusion But have you ever felt anxiety When it's bursting all through you let me help you to know how it feels It's like there's something inside of me Something I can't see, but I feel That there's something so dark in me Pulling me to my knees, So that I can't sleep, I can't feel It's like there's something inside of me I can not stand your ignorance can't stand your lack of respect I hear you talking that bullshit Over and over again Tell me Have you ever lost a friend you need Have you suffered from the pain you feel Were you ever blind to what is real Have you ever lost the will to live Have you ever lost the will to live? It's like there's something inside of me Something I can't see, but I feel That there's something so dark in me Pulling me to my knees, So that I can't sleep, I can't feel It's like there's something inside of me On the inside you’re dead On the outside just breathing Everything that you want Is to see yourself living But what is done has been done There is no way back to fix it So there is something inside of you Would you dare to admit it? Fuck! Would you dare to admit it It's like there's something inside of me Something I can't see, but I feel That there's something so dark in me Pulling me to my knees, So that I can't sleep, I can't feel It's like there's something, it's fucking like there's something inside of me

Broken Homes 03:16
Broken Homes There was a time, I just don't know when I enjoyed this life, before it all began I tried to hide from the pain I feel And I pushed away the ones who cared for me But burning bridges paves the way for the flood So we gotta let it get to us And now I know I'm not alone Saving myself from a broken Home Take me away, take me away I've got to go Escape my life for a second just to know How can I move on, how can I go Will I be safe when I leave this road It's difficult but don't lose hope Remember you are not alone You are not alone Tell me I need to try To be better the next time I need to push myself just a little more Do you see the error, the twist in your head Equal to the fear you planted in my chest I finally understand I don't have to do a shit with your mistakes Leave me alone Your lies to keep your pride, keep your illusion you did not fuck up your god damn life Now is the time This is goodbye I will escape from this broken Home Take me away, take me away I got to go Escape my life for a second just to know How can I move on, how can I go Will I be safe when I leave this road It's difficult but don't lose hope Remember you are not alone You're not alone
11.
Bend and Break Tell me something that I don't know Tell me something to heal my soul Cause I am lost in the storm around me And I still can't see what I'm fighting for I'm on the bitter path that leads straight to the catastrophe It is pulling me down, so deep that I can't see What sooner has been the elixir The source of a life that's really worth to live Tell me something that I don't know Tell me something to heal my soul Cause I am lost in the storm around me And I still can't see what I'm fighting for We bend then we break We bend then we break It doesn't make any sense to me Where do we cross the line, no there is no turning back Lift me up on a cloud and let me fly away Too lost to care, what have I become It is all too late, it has gone too far (Too lost to care, what have I become) Tell me something that I don't know Tell me something to heal my soul Cause I am lost in the storm around me And I still can't see what I'm fighting for Why does it feel so wrong I can not stand it but it's the truth Cause I am lost in the storm around me and I still can't see what I'm fighting for We bend then we break It doesn't make any sense to me What would I sacrifice Just to feel alright There is just no fucking sense to me We bend then we break Tell me something that I don't know Tell me something to heal my soul Cause I am lost in the storm around me And I still can't see what I'm fighting for Why does it feel so wrong I can not stand it but it's the truth Cause I am lost in the storm around me and I still can't see what I'm fighting for

Imprisoned 03:42
Imprisoned When you walk on empty streets When you're swimming through a sea of tears Could you start believing When the panic rises up And you know it's far too much What is keeping you to run Cause there is more to live There's more to take and you got more to give It feels difficult but if you really try You can rise and shine When the ground begins to shake And the fire bursts your dreams And the pressure is too much to take What is holding you to stay When their eyes are on your steps And you don't know how to act And why you're acting at all You know you’re different You haven't always been what they want But when it's over You're starting to be someone you love Hands up to the sky Wave the past goodbye I'll be there if you need me When the ground begins to shake And the fire bursts your dreams And the pressure is too much to take What is holding you to stay It's not too late I'll bear the weight Spread your wings and fly away You ain't just someone, you are the change Can't hold on, can't hold on to the madness Can't move on, moving right to the darkness
