It's so easy to get under your skin Like the earth was shaking underneath my feet Walk this line together unbalanced and frail You bring out the worst in me One simple word, one venomous remark Injects the poison in my veins, ignites that spark Adrenaline kicks in, fuels my anger and hate This disturbance is just how our love tastes Can't live with you, the false chord in our song Wishing you dead, love and hate together Can't live with you, the false chord in our song Wishing you dead, be with me forever One final brawl, two shattered loving hearts The wounds you cut so deep left never fading scars The voice of reason tells me to just let you go My spellbound heart can only scream no

Chiaroscuro 03:48
Hollow shadow, covered in theatrical grey Search for the brighter colours to clear all the danger away Footsteps coming closer and closer, In the light of night or day Swallows me in different emotions It's just what you want to see Victimized, there is no monster outside Through your blinded eye Forged by your cimmerian truth Smouldering creation, Chimera, let it fade away Unknown features, blurry outlines, fun masquerade Silently it slips in, let your panic dominate Hands gripping me tighter and tighter No relief and no escape Overwhelmed and petrified I stand here, I can't run away Realize, there is no threat from the outside Hiding in your mind Daylight shows me I was fooled again How can these dreamlike fears feel so real I can grasp them, I can touch them, make them my reality Noises sounding louder and louder In the quietude of night Hear them moving closer to get me Hiding till I'm saved by light

Acrimonious 04:19
Don't be polite 'cause you have to, you've done more than enough To make me feel this way Left me trembling, weak and scared in the dark, all dignity gone. Gone, feelings of loss have now turned into hate Crawling out of this hellhole I once called my life This vengeful monster, your mistake Save me from my hatred, drawing the line for no one to cross Craving for salvation, mortified of what I have become All tangled up in your web of lies, no way out no excuse For what you did to me Tired of suffering, no one hanging but you, These walls that I built, keep me protected Will they ever be torn down? Now that I've been through hell and back All reborn and unscarred and saved from adversity No greater fury like a woman scorned Your blood shall ran cold Cold, the only sensation that's left in my heart All the magic of our bittersweet ending Two fallen angels, worlds apart.

Adversity 04:24
Every careful step I take, may lead me in the wrong way I'm paralysed as all my confidence fades This tug of war in my head, the inner battle it creates I struggle as my energy drains away Sparks of fire, creation of desire Slipping away every time Control the outcome and you'll never see it grow Attracting your fears, it's like adversity in flow Cannot reach the norm that determines success of fall yet I'm refusing to let go of it all Pushing harder and harder, the nightmare merges with the dream Result are never favourable Letting fear and doubt cloud every sane thought that is left in my broken mind Stuck in this hurricane of life Can I relive all my lives restore the mistakes that I made, no longer feeling cast away and failed The hunger inside makes me long for an escape The shockwave in my vision slayed my faith Thoughts going over and over again in my head, no answers left to be found Perpetuous mind-numbing fears control the outcome of my whole life Stop every motion, your search will lead you nowhere The limitations in your wisdom feel so raw Can never live up to the one I have to be Every spark awakens the dreamer in me The path you are on may be full of discomfort But don't let these internal fears mislead you or convince you to go for less than what you're capable of Don't be discouraged and never stop dreaming

Exploring what we cannot explain Translating life beyond reality Controlling, no boundary to be seen (controlling the limits) The rigid lines, impossible for your design Too big to understand, when future fantasy Becomes your new history Rain! Or merely water falling Defined perception limits optimal design Limited, the structured outline breaks Life's just a human shell experience Capable, of so much more than this Your controlled possibilities come crashing down Cannot objectify, your understanding of Microscopic linear growth Rain! Or merely water falling Defined perception limits optimal design Creating, identified by rules Rigid concept imprisoned by our thoughts Ignoring what they can see in dreams Shattered ways opening up all dimensions Too big to understand, when future fantasy Becomes your new history Rain! Or merely water falling Defined perception limits optimal design

You hear her dim but enchanting song, A sparkle of light in the dark Foolish and adventurous, lured by a silver incantation Her heart filled with fire, it calls to your desire Come and follow me into the moonlit night Let the water embrace you, just hold on tight Let the touch of my skin warm your heart One kiss is all it takes to save your soul Drift away ... from her wicked wiles Drift away .... from the shores of delight Childhood stories come to life, A lustrous sight in the blink of an eye Soothed by her painfully beautiful call to come closer Feed her appetite Waves are crashing down, no escaping this time Don't follow her into the moonlit night The water will swallow you, take your life One touch of her skin, your heart will turn cold Poisonous lips come to take your soul The warm and beguiling lullaby, a beacon of hope in despair Innocent and delicate features hide her true cruelty Mesmerized, so be aware Killer instinct lies in the beauty of her eyes

In Balance 06:22
Cannot dream without falling asleep, It's you that I need to restore the balance in me Wide awake, in the centre of my essence, The cure for my existence Letting the system interact, feed it's integrated symmetry Watching it grow as the structure breaks like an opposing force That rises deep from within my core I feel the energy flow - fired up, frozen down in me The irony of duality Let me tame all of the loudness inside your head That's disturbing the silence Outcries get louder and louder. A strategy for life, The antidote makes you survive The inner struggle will never die Holding on to what makes me complete You are the only reason that I can be Everything I am, is questioned in your absence No proof for my existence Crossing a line that no one sees intertwining our reallity Watching it grow as the structure breaks fighting the undefined formula That keeps our system sane I feel the energy flow - fired up, frozen down in me The irony of duality puzzles my beliefs Clear up the war that lies deep inside Breaking with all make believe thoughts devised in my mind Deviate to see, the fundamental mystery, an existential certainty. Letting the system interact, feed it's integrated symmetry Watching it grow as the structure breaks fighting the undefined formula That keeps our system sane I feel the energy flow - fired up, frozen down in me The irony of duality puzzles my beliefs

Isochronism 04:29
Close the door, open your windows to the world outside It's the same but still changed I watch my footsteps in the snow In the aftermath of my life's turmoil In a state of constant motion, even a standstill is a choice It cannot be stopped, evokes a chain reaction With the change of season, the wheel revolves Time, understand it's strength Beyond our basic notion In the rebirth of the sun Don't matter how fast you run ...

Saying more than a thousand words You need to break silence All that's left unspoken Feels like a storm of emotions coming out Feel the deep cut in my veins Letting the blood drain from my face Recall the slamming of the door Making my ears bleed out Swallowed your pride too many times My only wish was to be heard Walking away is like oil to the fire A soothing blanket to numb the pain Feel the deep cut in my veins Letting the blood drain from my face Recall the slamming of the door Making my ears bleed out This heavy stone my burden to bear Memories I can't wash out Say the words, scream it out For the last time the cat got your tongue But now the cat in my head's dead Out of sight you're breathing fire Observing the wreckage that I am
