Connected 03:42
Wide open eyes to see the light A demon I refused to fight Is getting close to redefine How far I have to draw the line Injecting thoughts of hatred Into, our pristine core It's leaving our intentions hidden Into our deepest mind We suffer to their command We're bound to find What we refused To accept as an illusion It's been a while Since they tried to keep us all apart Only to find that we are Connected, connected It's been a while Since we tried to fully understand Only to find that we are Sedated, Surrendered My thoughts are plagued with nonsense My head begins to swell It's taking over my decisions We’re paralyzed with fear We suffer to their command I feel the air Is getting thin I’m choking on emotions We're bound to find What we refused To accept as an illusion I feel the air Is getting rare I’m swimming in confusion We're bound to find What we refused To accept as an illusion It's been a while Since they tried to keep us all apart Only to find that we are Connected, connected It's been a while Since we tried to fully understand Only to find that we are Sedated, Surrendered

Down 04:19
Am I a ghost? Or do you enjoy pretending you're not listening? You rather see me fall, but don't you know you're going down with me? Can't you realize? We're both buried in the same hole Can't you fucking see? There is no escape It's every day in the air I breathe It's in the water that I much need Despite the fact that this is so obvios We insist to fake a smile Until there's no denial I thought that we could do better than this I ignore the signals and warnings presaged I never cease to keep the faith within You should have known You couldn’t get away So arrogant of you Am I a ghost? Or do you enjoy pretending you're not listening? You rather see me fall, but don't you know you're going down with me? Down! It's every day in the air I breathe It's in the water that I much need Despite the fact that this is so obvios We insist to fake a smile Until there's no denial You should have known You can't lock this away It follows you everywhere It's every day in the air I breathe It's in the water that I much need Despite the fact that this is so obvios We insist to fake a smile Until there's no denial

Time has come to a stop Erasing our perception Crashed beyond repair Here and now our systems fail And night is rushing forth Our destiny, to be the among the light Open your eyes, closing old doors Gain insight, before the unknown Your memories are The only way out Signs are calling Veil is falling Inside the hologram machinery Don’t fear the passage into the night For the darkness is where we come from Our destiny, to be the among the light Don’t fear the passage into the night For the darkness is where we come from Don’t fear the journey into the dark For that empty void is your own mind

Never trust a mirror For a mirror always lies It makes you think all your worth Can be seen from the outside Where no one else can see Your reflection cannot tell you Everything you meant to me Where no one else can see Your reflection cannot tell you Everything you meant to be Take a look inside And ask why you’re still Between the mirrors Breathe and feel inside What you desired Between the mirrors In the depths of your mind There’s a thought that’s rising up It’s getting closer to That part of you that’s still alive If only that was real Your reflection cannot tell you Everything you’re meant to be Does it show you what the truth is? Is it worth the pain you inflict yourself? Does it tell you what you ask for? When you can’t find answers anywhere Take a look inside And ask why you’re still Between the mirrors Breathe and feel inside What you desired Between the mirrors Where no one else can see Where no one else can see Your reflection Where no one else can see

Disconnected 04:16
Disconnected from the essence What seems to be a life sentence Forever stranded Every step i take Decisions I always regret Follow the path of lies until the very end Forget the life you had expected in your dreams And realize this world is not a place for hope Forget the times you shattered your own dreams To satisfy all your fears Satisfy all your fears Disconnected from the essence A turbulent stream of anger Ignites my mind Every step i take Decisions I want to forget Go down the roads you know, the ones you can relate to Forget the life you had expected in your dreams And realize this world is not a place for hope Forget the times you shattered your own dreams To satisfy all your fears To satisfy all your fears Clinging to your self depiction There’s no way to be free Stranded in this doll house fiction There’s no fucking way out Forget the life you had expected in your dreams And realize this world is not a place for hope Forget the times you shattered your own dreams To satisfy all your fears Satisfy all your fears Forget the lies Satisfy all your fears Forget the lies There's no fucking way out Forget the lies Satisfy all your fears Forget the lies Forget the lies
