I find it hard to wade the waters of my mind Riptide pulls me under, faster every time As I claw the sand to pull myself ashore Merciless, the waves grab onto me once more And I feel I fear what lurks beneath it all Deeply buried I have kept it, far too long Shipwreck rotting away lies hidden from the light Far away from mind and far away from sight Then you Push me down And out of nowhere Comes this feeling Blankets everything I come alive all dead inside Surrender everything In a moment, all is clear I question everything And out of nowhere Out of nowhere The blade sinks in Bloody trail fades into waters of my mind I’m alive but sick and tired of the fight I’m ready, take me, tear apart, erase me Bleed me, drain me, do your worst Then you Push me down And out of nowhere Comes this feeling Blankets everything I come alive all dead inside Surrender everything In a moment, all is clear I question everything And out of nowhere Out of nowhere The blade sinks in

It’s funny how It’s funny how we justify means to an end It’s funny how we look away and just pretend It’s not our hands that get all bloodied in the end While we scream for more Right now We bleach our sins and blind ourselves in fear I find it hard I find it hard to walk among the living dead I find it hard to calm the raging in my head Deaf, dumb and blind is all we are And in the end, nothing more than just a grain of sand God, why are you waiting to strike us down Strike now, right now God, why are you waiting to strike us down Strike down When all is lost When all is lost and we have no one left to blame When we defeat ourselves playing our own game Dark and light will switch and never be the same And we scream for more right now God, why are you waiting to strike us down Strike now, right now God, why are you waiting to strike us down Strike down So much judgment, so much hate All the wars we waged to date All we killed and all we raped What are you waiting for God Clean the slate God, why are you waiting to strike us down Strike now, right now God, why are you waiting to strike us down Strike down God, why are you waiting to strike us down Strike now, right now God, why are you waiting to strike us down Strike down

In The Fire 05:09
Skies are lit and I see Beyond the darkness Far into it I reach To cure my blindness Far and away you take me Far and away we sail Somewhere in time you leave me Bound by my mortal shell I cannot get you off my mind Every time I try I just break down And unwind the threads of time Sitting outside letting Sunshine warm my skin While lightest of the winds Keep whispering your name Feeling lovely as I close my eyes And wander off into The comfort of madness Into the fire I’m falling down Now it’s crystal clear Through the darkness A glimpse of future past Etched in lightness Far and away it takes me Far and away I sail Somewhere along the way I’ll break free of this spell Into the fire I’m falling down I feel intense heat rise within me Burning flames now elevate me White light blinding, searing, cleansing Forged in fire I’m resurrected Into the fire I’m falling down

Becoming 04:53
I sense the flood is coming I need to hold my breath Soon all is swept away All the lies and regret I wash up on the shore With my hallowed broken wings I raise my head and look for you But the clouds obscure your face And then I felt the strange Sense of becoming One with the sound of waves Breaking waters Into the cold embrace I perfectly surrender Sun is so far away Now and forever I falter and I fall As I climb stairs to your throne You look away in shame My failure becomes your own And then I felt the strange Sense of becoming One with the sound of waves Breaking waters Into the cold embrace I perfectly surrender Sun is so far away Now and forever I need you to reach for me I wish you’d understand I never asked of nothing more Than I would ask of myself And then I felt the strange Sense of becoming One with the sound of waves Breaking waters Into the cold embrace I perfectly surrender Sun is so far away Now and forever
