Away

As I watched the tranquil sea
From the edge of the bay
I had a dream of home far away
And my life led astray
I saw visions of grey skies
And gentle rains
Oh, the madness faded away
As the forest swayed
I set sail for foreign shores
In pursuit of dreams
Now I long to escape this cage
And free myself from the pain
The chaos of the machine
Tears at my mind
And the neon glow of night
It blinds my eyes
In a sea of sullen faces
I can’t meet an eye
In this land of empty lives
My dreams die
Away
Away
Please take me
Far away

Pain
05:03
|

|
Once more, I see you at war with yourself
And the battle seems so pointless to fight
Looking in, your world seems so dark
A life strewn with a thousand shades of grey
Are you in pain
Or longing for something more?
‘Cause I worry for you
More than you know
Sometimes the world seems so bleak
And the light at the end of the tunnel can’t be seen
FIGHT!

Victim
04:56
|
|||
|
In the deep forests of home
Where the mountains pierce the endless sky
You felt nothing but misery
That’s how it always seemed to be
Rain poured down on my life, our time
Rain drowned my thoughts and my eyes
You’re playing victim again
You lay your pain upon my shoulders
But you know I’m not to blame
I always knew it would end in hate
Now in the city by the sea
Where the blinding lights never die
There is still nothing but sadness
Will it always be because of me?
A victim again
You lay your hate upon my shoulders
But I know I’m not to blame
Oh will you forever wallow in your pain?

Another impasse
A path blocked by doubt
Every road leads me to nowhere
I feel so lost
In a sea of my fears
I must break these chains away
Clarity
Fall upon me
In my hour of need
Will you find me?
Clarity
Lift my veiled eyes
Heal my wounds
And show me the way
Stopped again
I question myself
I’m stuck in an endless maze
Thoughts awry
I look deep inside
But the answers seem to hide
Clarity
Take my hand again
Lift the storm clouds
That plague my life
Clarity
Numb the fear again
Light a way for me
To rise above it all

Drown
07:44
|
|||
|
Drown in your mistakes
Embrace the pain you create
Follow your path to self-destruction
You live your whole life in vain
Your path is clear, yet you can’t see it
Opportunities, all thrown away
Look at yourself in the mirror
What do you have to say?
And could it be there’s another chance for you
To right your wrongs and find a way?
Will you rise above the mountains tall
And greet the dawn of a new day?
Every day you’re growing colder
Every day is just the same
And now I see you slipping closer
To a grave that calls your name

Tranquility
06:28
|
|||
|
The world out here is so still
Here in the heart of the forest
I can feel the silence
I can feel the tranquility deep within me
It’s in the shade of the forest
I make my communion
And am free from the trials of the day
Now a cool breeze blows
Through the leaves on the trees
And it mends my weary soul

Finale
10:10
|
|||
|
I had a late night revelation
When the stars all seemed to align
And in the shining waters before me
I beheld my life’s end
As sure as the moon does rise
The sun will set on my life
And in time I will fade away
In the finale of my days
And as the stillness overwhelmed me
I arose from the shore
Reborn, I would live for today
I would fear nevermore
I’m alive
