The Persistence

Stay with me, let’s play a game Forget what you think you have done before Follow me, embrace the rain And feel the drops falling on you, weightless Long awaited answers From a sky that tells no lies To someone who’s lost in nowhere For someone facing his past Now it makes its way, a different seed From the branches of the same old tree It’s calling you Yes, it’s calling you While you run barefoot drenched to the skin You’re exactly where you need to be It’s calling you Yes, it’s calling you Today Long awaited answers From a sky that tells no lies To someone who’s lost in nowhere For someone facing his past

Call me again – in your mind Follow the lights on the road Shufflin’ of bare feet at night Into the unknown Call me again – in your mind Feeling your heart while you roam How can you tell they are right On your worn-out hope? Day after day we get closer Closer than before We set our limits little further Deep beneath the skin I long for that There is no place here to hide Facing new tears with old thought We know there will be a light At the end of the rope There is no need here to hide There is no way to get lost Even if your fear is mine We won’t really fall Day after day we get closer Closer than before We set our limits little further Deep beneath the skin I long for that

Your hands again upon the ground Falling rain for hours and hours As you learn the game Time dispels the fog Your hands again upon the ground Falling rain and heavy hours As you leave the game Time to bless the fall Ever been there? Ever felt like prey? Ever thought your mind was feeble? Lot of things that don’t make sense Can you hear me? Can you feel this pain? If you have a raging fever You’re about to turn the page We know nothing in the end From wherever you begin Can you guess the name of what is right In dealing with your pain? Can’t you see it? Everything comes Just deal with it Everything goes Learning how to fall Learning how to play this game In dealing with your pain

Coming to the end Of this lucid dream Void of sound Near the shore In every place you call “home” I will be there with you And every time you face your ghosts I will fight them with you Whenever they come Maybe I’m just in your mind My way to be with you Maybe the light of the day My way to warm your skin Maybe it’s just in my mind My way to be with you After all this pain Maybe this light of the day Makes me feel I’m with you To let go what we were Folding paper dreams What is left of us Still resound Folding paper dreams What is left of us Still resound Everywhere We suffer for a reason We both believe we’re roaming on our own A broken mechanism We walk two different paths of the same road Maybe I’m just in your mind My way to be with you Maybe the light of the day My way to warm your skin Maybe it’s just in my mind My way to be with you After all this pain Maybe this light of the day Makes me feel I’m with you To let go what we were Folding paper dreams What is left of us Still resound

Never Ending Struggle To keep it in line And sail High walls Made of Water They’re barring your sight Away from home Plant your foot down And brace yourself for the waves Plant your foot down Do not get overwhelmed Never Ending Struggle To keep it in line And sail High walls Made of Water They’re barring your sight Away from home I won’t stop Straight ahead Sail with me Until we hit new lands To face the fear of the unknown Surfing over the foam Standing in spite of the hail Overcoming the storm I won’t stop Straight ahead Sail with me Until we hit new lands

Waiting in the cold for me to arrive My undernourished dreams they want a piece of me Find another word to say I’m alive While I am slowly passing to the other side They’re coming, they’ve got blind eyes Creeping into my mind They’re coming, they’ve got blind eyes Wherever I go Always on the run, my shade lags behind And I can feel the bruises aching on my back Nothing’s left to me but to spread my arms And find a place for every broken piece of me (x2) They’re coming, they’ve got blind eyes I will stand this time They’re coming, they’ve got blind eyes So I’ll let them come

Memorizing glimpses Of everything that stands Hanging from the ceiling Of my very own hell Feeding on my fiction A soldier in the rain The only rule is go ahead Devil’s got a picture He doesn’t want to share Learn to rise Perceive the larger plan And for the price you pay I call it fair Don’t think you’re foolin’ someone else I’m in the line of fire, a lost and blindfolded man Like I’m falling behind in someone else’s plan On this crazy ride I’m sick and tired Another meaningless game Learn to rise Perceive the larger plan And for the price you pay I call it fair The only rule is go ahead

Night’s descending with its toll Passing as a breath, stripping my soul That’s the moment where I find Lighter shades of sorrow just for a while Night’s descending more and more Can a dying star answer my call? Tides Time Meet up Inside Drowned Fears To feed My dreams Rise before the sun comes Rise before the sun comes Rise before Dark’s descending with its truth All these smiling demons feasting on you Grinning faces crowd around Staging plastic heavens out of control Rise before the sun comes Rise before the sun comes Burn your shell To light this night Burn yourself to life Like never before Never rise before

Father looking straight at me From a silver frame Teenage clothes, a genuine smile I can’t recall Father you were just like me Cut from the same cloth Never really learned to cry or laugh out loud Talk to me, please, for real ‘Cause I’m so tired of living through my memories Wondering what you’d think of me Staring at the ground Like I don’t know where I belong anymore Caught in all these strong emotions I can’t hear your distant voice Were you expecting something different? For sometimes I wish I was just anywhere else Far from here Anyone else expect myself Killing what was there before Speechless after all this time Holding words inside Crowding in my throat but still I can’t let go Father what you’d think of me Caught in all these strong emotions I can’t hear your distant voice Were you expecting something different? For sometimes I wish I was just anywhere else Far from here Anyone else expect myself Killing what was there before

Won’t let you down In this silence Won’t let you blame only yourself Again Won’t let you down In this moment Won’t let you bear this weight alone Today Yes, problems are so real Please give us a chance ‘Cause, let me say it clear We feel the same way We’ll take the fall and rise, you know We’ll take the fall and rise (x2) Time to go Two perfectly imperfect As we are Time to take this chance (x2) Who but you Who but me Can do it now? Who can do so?
