Not Until The End
05:56

Relentless one
Now beaten by time
The strongest one
has now fallen into eternal sleep
Why do we lie to ourselves
We are all...
We are all born to die
"You don't know what you really have
until it's gone
You don't know how lost you really are
Not until the end"
I know now it's too late
Too much left unsaid
Should have been there
before the end of days
I know now it's too late
Too much left undone
In times of loss
we realize how much we had
You feared
Feared to let go
You feared
Feared to close your eyes
for one last time
When all these fears unite
In despair
even the purest heart
is drawn to shadows

Lifelong Dying
05:56

Yet another glass in front of me
Filthy, half empty, my twisted way
to enjoyable self-destruction
Yet another dawn
that I don't want to see
Sore I wake, torn wide open
Deep in the ever growing sea
Slowly drowning in poisonous tears
What the hell am I doing here?
Driven by excruciating guilt
Worthless, running in circles
Sacrificed too much for solace
All the time just numbing myself
from the pain
still every day dying a little
I wither slowly
I wither slowly
Longing for years
that were once never lived
I've come too far
to turn back now
Nothing can be undone
My heart sank deep
In this lightless tide
I wither slowly

Rain's Edge
05:11

See you through downpours
We are not the same
Feel you from the edge of rain
I see it now
You cannot live here
where I feel alive
where momentary pain
reminds me that I'm still alive
Yet I don't want to live there
where life is at a standstill
where only part of me feels alive
Where it never rains
So I stay here on the edge of rain
and hope that someday
these worlds will unite
See you through downpours
We're not the same
Feel you from the edge
of constant rain
I see it now
the difference between us
I concede it now
We are not the same
Time has come to lay down these
scarred hearts to rest
It is time to say goodbye
Now we have to go there
where we feel at home
You cannot live here
where I feel alive
You cannot live here
It's time to say goodbye

The Ghost I Mourn
04:06

Farewell
I know I can live on my own
but can I ever let go of this sorrow
that is running through my veins
It's in my blood
The ghost I mourn
Lost the one
I thought it all was real
Illusion faded
Now you're dead to me
but this hurt still stubbornly remains
Still I have to bear
the phantom pain
It's in my blood
The ghost I mourn
Under the northern lights
On moonlit frost
alone I roam
Born with a heavy heart
Can't believe how hard this
all came down on me

Incomplete
06:35

I struggle with these thoughts
of not being enough
Feeling incomplete
I've begun to see
I am not as stable
as I thought I was
All these thoughts
enslaved by agony, by misery
All these thoughts
All these unspoken words
came out screaming
Do we really know each other
or just pretend
Or does it even matter
when being yourself is not enough
Frailty, fall, remorse
You have seen the most of me
My past, highs and lows
There's so little left
to descry in me
More than this
I can't give
All these thoughts
enslaved by agony, by misery
All these thoughts
All these unspoken words
came out screaming
I struggle with these thoughts
of not being enough
Feeling incomplete
More than this
I cannot give
This is what I am
This is what I will be
Endlessly incomplete
All these thoughts
enslaved by agony
All these unspoken words
came out screaming
I struggle with these thoughts
of not being enough
Feeling incomplete

Hate Reflected
04:24
|

|
It's clear what you've done
and for that I despise you
After years I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
This world is cruel as hell
for those who fear to be themselves
After years I thought I knew you
but still you are like a stranger to me
You're better off alone
so you can hurt only yourself
See how low you can go
I see you in the mirror
A man with raging eyes
A reflection of a hollow heart
I see me, that is me I hate
It was so damn easy to crush
every little fragment of joy
In the blink of an eye
dreams became unreachable
I'm better off alone
so I can hurt only myself
See how low I can go
I see myself in the mirror
A man with raging eyes
A reflection of a hollow heart
I see me, that is me I hate

Divided
07:22

This so called life-long journey
has ended too soon
One life divided in two
My life changed too fast
Despite all I have survived
this time I had to hide
I had to hide myself from reality
Here I can forget
the world you're living in
But can I return
when time starts to heal?
This so called life-long journey
has ended too soon
One life divided in two
Cannot take this life as it is
One world divided in two
As the world turned
I escaped to another
Into another world
As the world turned
I had to hide myself in delusion
At a crossroads
we had to choose
Either painless road to nowhere
or painful road to unknown
We followed our hearts
to passage never seen
Yet I know
in time I'll get lost again
In time life will
divide my world anew
One world divided in two

Traces
05:17
|
|||
|
Today this silence is too loud
The light of dawn too bright
The air I breathe too cold
The longing way too close
Sometimes I just want to forget
even though I shouldn't regret anything at all
Some things can never be forgotten
The deepest traces of the past
Some things can never be forgotten
No one knows how hard I've tried
Somehow I always
come across these scars
Today memories are too clear
Those past mistakes too obvious
Despair way too near
Heart torn into pieces
