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

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

Where We Came From
03:45
|

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

Between The Mirrors

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 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
