Waking the visions of our fallen paths Of things we can't just forget With wicked precision they're crafted like holograms And we burn underneath the surface of our hearts in vain We can't accept or believe all the things we don't fully understand When we turn the lights out We taste our burial ground We turn the dark into a spark We're free to see but kneel to feel alive We are a lie Alive We are lie Back in the region from all our aftermaths From underworld With sinking decisions created from the thoughts below We can't accept or believe all the things we don't fully comprehend We don't know

Lying awake Concealing the fate On this journey Lying awake Reoccuring checkmate Until the very last day Through the white and Through the grey and On the contrary What is right and What betrays There's nobody left to blame Race through the night Is payed with sunlight Unable to find Bewildering right signs Race through the night Is payed with sunlight I'm aching to find Sleepwalkers Lifeline Lying awake Fueling the hate Without mercy Lying awake Processing heartache Fatal mistake I've seen the mask come down Crestfallen We are the fallen With an urge to unify

Adapt

Adapt the cells That feed you time Adapt the cells That fortify Adapt yourself To combat decline Adapt yourself Help the one inside Adapt the cells From black to white Adapt the cells From parasites Adapt yourself So you don't need to hide Adapt yourself To detach and decide We're trying We're denying We're dying We're passing the flame of faith Even moonlight has left this place With each passing day We're trying We're denying We're dying With all the things said With all regrets With every breath There's no turning back With all the feelings that We've kept With all the memories That fade to black

Gaining recollection Of lost artifacts That could leave a trace Remembrance of affections A hollow phase Another step back Toward the stairs Onward to grace Painting the perception Unaware Of aging unopen case With a grave dissatisfaction In and out of place Another step back Toward the stairs Onward to grace An unfinished epitaph Which could carve itself It's something we've never had Just lingering hurt instead It's something we've never had

I'm waking up in the morning in afterglow I'm counting chances to face the status quo From zero to none I'm understanding treason in the shape of gold I'm anticipating to face against the flood It's here to come Well I'm still standing With a collapsing portrait At a standstill everything breaks the same Everyday Well I'm still standing With a collapsing portrait At a standstill everything fades away Everyday

Trapped antibodies In a motionless flame Become indoctrinary Push us astray Say goodbye Reconcile Let's take each other as who we are As one Before we are gone Silence the story Unload interface Conscience is predatory Deleting our fate A new day is dawning And ending this game Say goodbye Reconcile Let's take each other as who we are As one Before we say goodbye Reconcile Let's take each other as who we are As one Before we are gone What do we say to ourselves When it gets Too overwhelming

I'm here whenever You may find yourself In need of shelter From a blaze of the sun I'm here whenever You still seek to find Something better Grow new wings Take flight I hope you'll find I hope you'll find Your way back Home Until we meet again.... Thoughts Become Air
