Drowning 05:30
A mosaic of a hundred million words Living in your head What's the point of living If there's nowhere left to fall Sunk to the trenches below Drowning in our minds Drowning in our minds Drowning in our minds Someone pull the cord Surrounded by swarming feelings So many self-destructive dealings A shattered mirror, glass is glitter on the floor Memories of times past that you’re always searching for What’s the point of living If there’s nothing left to love Your brain’s disconnected, I know you don’t give a fuck

Puzzle 06:47
I cannot hold you anymore You're gone like ashes To the wind These memories I will mourn You'll haunt me 'Til the bitter end I cannot feel you Nights alone without you Picking up pieces Fall in my weakness Only moths in the sky Ain't no sign of butterflies Grey clouds and saline eyes Fake a smile as a disguise In the graveyard The ghosts come out Took the words straight out of my mouth I should be over it But I've fallen too far into the deep end, oh oh The gravedigger has dug your grave Maybe there's just no one to save We said we'd learn from our mistakes But death said there's a price to pay So he took your life Left your husband without a wife Now I spend all my days wishing and crying Telling myself that one day I'll be fine and Put the pieces back together In this puzzle like a bird without its feathers You're long gone and I'm stuck in stormy weather But time heals everything, life will get better

Mi Alma 04:58
Dios mío, estoy tan lejos de la luz no se en quien me he convertido O quién estoy destinado a ser Quién soy, quién soy He luchado tanto tiempo y duro he buscado la respuesta El silencio me acosa yo soy la victima Estoy solo No hay más héroes La salvación está dentro Esta luz se ha ido tan lejos Es demasiado tarde ¿Estoy demasiado lejos? Este túnel está oscuro en ambos extremos Es más oscuro que eso Por este infierno en espiral Ilumina mi alma, mi alma Dime quién soy yo Ayúdame a caminar hacia la luz Ayúdame a encontrar mi utopía

In Bliss 07:44
Gasoline and matches Strike the flame you brought You bandit How long have you waited for this Following a trail Of liquid death To the holy grail Just watch it all burn down in bliss You've set it all on fire Watched the flames as they rose higher And you walked away Like you were never there And in the sunken ashes Charred remains of those lost chances Left them behind With no reason to compare Eyes wide open Today's the day The one you've chosen You've been dreaming of this scene Yellow-orange stature Feel the heat The one you're after Hype you up, you know what you need Just watch it all burn down in bliss Just watch it all burn down in bliss Just watch it all burn down in bliss Just watch it all burn down in bliss

Let's talk about it This elephant in the room We know it's there Our doom This growing silence, this quiet violence We wouldn't feel this way If you'd just use your words Slow death of unspoken hearts Imagine what this could have been All of that for this, what did this mean? This is the price we pay This place, where our end is blurred We're breaking down This static's loud Talking in circles with nothing said This silence is heavy, I feel nothing but dread The writing is on the wall How much longer till we make the call Your love was my drug And now I'm in withdrawal This is the price we pay This place, where our end is blurred You lied to me, you fucked with me Now you're on your own Slow death of unspoken hearts

I always kill my soul When I give away a piece of it Just take a part of me Cuz you know I don't need it Was at your beck and call At night ordering pizza And when i asked why you couldn't do it Each excuse was my anaesthesia I'm numb, mm But every part of me told me to run Were we just kids in love Who didn't understand that I put my best foot forward And then you took a step back I put my dreams aside To stay and live here with ya And when I asked why you weren't moving Your excuse was my anaesthesia After the flame went low And I put out the embers It took a while for me to repress Everything I remembered Twice we were done and gone It finally felt so peaceful I liked the quiet after the storm The silence was my anaesthesia I'm numb, mm But I will be who I have become

Shadows 16:11
From grave we turn To shadows we fall Utopia dead and gone Dreams turned to ash To shadows we go Through black forest I walk Blade ever in my hand Already have I slain a foe Wicked blood down my blade flows There's power in the dark Embrace the shadows of your heart Give in to my wise counsel I've been driven mad I've been driven mad I've been driven mad The witch's head over my shoulder She speaks to me, her eyes a-smolder Some monsters stand in the light Her itching voice in my mind a fright Heaven's radiance has left me behind Lost am I in these woods, every shadow hides a lie The angel on his shoulder Stays close as nights grow colder Don't listen to that witch Stay true to innocence The poison in your mind Left by a snake's disguise The venomous bite of greed A power hungry seed Was planted, it grows It sprouts through the soil It forms its roots around earth's coil And spreads like a disease Bathe in rays of gold On heaven's silver road Stay noble in despair And climb the holy stairs Don't you want fame and fortune Don't you want the dragon's hoard Don't you want to reap the riches and the grandeur and rewards I care not of glory I seek to end your crimes I'll write the ending to this story and conclude your wretched time Bring me to the coven Off the beaten path Let me undo what was done and you can live at last You mistake me for a hero I cannot be persuaded All i seek is your pain, your begging to be slain From grave we turn To shadows we fall Utopia dead and gone Dreams turned to ash To shadows we go
