Intro

Out of breath, out of time
holding on for dear life
Eyes red, knuckles white
I can’t see home
Nowhere to run… When sleep won’t...

Restless
03:09
|
|||
|
Shut away from the prying eyes
Resting in my head
Dreaming of brighter days and better ways
The world was and could be
Where can I run?
When sleep won't come
‘Cause I’m doomed to haunt these halls
Fade with the paintings into the walls
Just a ghost of my former self
Trapped in here there’s no getting out
Now I’m lying here awake
Willing blurred images to replay
Lost inside the gray
Just trying not to stray…
But the wandering mind, late at night
Try to keep so still
But I’m not there at all
I’m travelling through time, at the speed of thought
I’m on the fringe – on the edge of experience
Where the real and imaginary blur
Lost faith in all my senses, lost trust in my memories
I never want to wake up… But I know I’ll never sleep
These walls bend under the weight
Of the memories that keep us awake
Where can I run?
When sleep won’t come

Smolder ft Jay Maas

I’m sitting here listening
And I can’t help but think
If you’d just practice what you preach
The garbage you’re spewing
“what used to be”
You’ve forgotten what this means
Nothing’s dead while hearts still beat
Walls still shake, we still scream
Nothing’s dead, you’re just lost
Forgot the struggle, forgot the cost
If not now then you never were
If not now then you never…
You blame time but the truth is
You’re the one who’s changed
Say it’s dead, ignorant
Turned your back away
So leave the past in the past where it belongs
Stop wasting your breath, those days are gone
Say the flame went out, but I refuse
I still carry this fire, watch it ever burn
Nothing’s dead while hearts still beat
Walls still shake, we still scream
Nothing’s dead, you’re just lost
Forgot the struggle, forgot the cost

Snakes
03:13
|
|||
|
Struggled so long to find my own voice
Now I have I don’t know what to say
It’s like I’m screaming at a brick wall
Tell me, how should I explain?
My eyes are open and I see
Just how toxic you are to me
I can’t believe that it took this long
To wake up and try to right your wrongs
There’s no going back
I’m not coming back for you
It’s just the way things have to be
We both know we’ve gone too far
I wince in pain, and it’s hard to breathe
Now I know what you really are.
You organized the world like moving pieces on a board
Planned from the beginning, all just slaves bound to your form
Then you watched and waited knowing we’d be back for more
Stood over the wreckage, held dominion over all
And I played my part
For that I take some blame
I should have wised up years ago, why’d I defend your name?
I can’t take back the past
Wouldn’t if I could
It’s not worth it to dwell on snakes just know I’m gone for good
Hold your tongue.

Direction
03:11
|

|
Two worlds cross and I’m in between
A rift in my chest mirrored in front of me
And direction ceases to mean anything
Paralyzed
Don’t second guess – don’t second guess yourself
Don’t second guess – don’t turn to someone else
Split in two – torn apart
Pulled from both ends of my heart
Losing grip, losing sleep
The life I want vs the life I lead
(Arms are heavy, growing weak
What I got vs what I need)
I can’t tell
What’s holding me back, holding me back and what’s
Pushing me ahead
Not trying to drag my feet, won’t accept defeat, just trying to
Catch my breath
Don’t want to hesitate with every move I make
Two roads diverge
And I don’t know which to take
I’ve been searching, trying to find
Anything to help me climb
Gain some ground, but now I see
I'm in this hole, and it's dug deep
And it swirls and blurs until I can no longer tell which way is up. And each step I take could just as easily be backward. The rift, it grows. The cracks, they show. And the strength I had starts to go…
