Superbomb 04:38
lyrics

Superbomb The clocks running It keeps coming Got nowhere to hide Superbomb I keep running But it's coming Gonna light up the sky It follows me everywhere I go It can't be seen it's a secret show A dark star that suffocates the light No escape when you're in its sight Whispers behind that I can't ignore The voice I hear outside my door I lie awake I can feel it there Watching me with its jealous stare Yes I know Won't Let Go I'm mesmerized Sparks in my eyes ignite the fuse Logic is lost My wires crossed can't be diffused Superbomb The clocks running It keeps coming Got nowhere to hide Superbomb I keep running But it's coming Gonna light up the sky Closing in I feel its hold on me A tidal wave, that drags me out to sea Breaking me down tearing me apart Like a storm crashing through my heart Stealing the hours, losing day by day Like a ghost that never fades away It's always there playing in my mind I have no choice this love is so unkind Yes I know Won't Let Go I'm mesmerized Sparks in my eyes ignite the fuse Logic is lost My wires crossed can't be diffused Superbomb The clocks running It keeps coming Got nowhere to hide Superbomb I keep running But it's coming Gonna light up the sky I'm mesmerized Sparks in my eyes ignite the fuse Logic is lost My wires crossed can't be diffused Superbomb The clocks running It keeps coming Got nowhere to hide Superbomb I keep running But it's coming Gonna light up the sky Superbomb Superbomb

Thousand Yard Stare 04:11
lyrics

Outside the window frames The shattered voices of despair Watching the rising flames With a distant thousand-yard stare History a bitter lesson The guilty offer no confession The Atman sees the future Samskara holds the past When truth divides the spirit The Brahman will surpass Floods wash away the shame Anger they can't pacify Words meant to pass the blame Answered with hands held so high A history filled with oppression Freedom taken from your possession The Atman sees the future Samskara holds the past When truth divides the spirit The Brahman will surpass One hope, One fate One decision, One debate One reason to live One reason to forgive One man who deceives One man who believes One hand to break the fall One vision to connect us all The Atman sees the future Samskara holds the past When truth divides the spirit The Brahman will surpass The Brahman will surpass The Brahman will surpass

Arrow Of Time 04:51

Everything is moving fast Blink and miss the moment's passed Illusions of a choice we cannot hide Beauty that we can't explain Longing coursing through each vein Synchronistic smiles that coincide I want to run away with you So much to say without a sound  This lie is what we trade With no rhyme or reason made We try, pretend so brave Cause our time we cannot save Arrow of time Arrow of time See the past in memories Connected by the planted seeds Every second moving in a line A future, unwritten fate Afraid we try to compensate Searching for the answer or a sign I want to lose myself in you Sink in the black beneath the sky This lie is what we trade With no rhyme or reason made We try, pretend so brave Cause our time we cannot save Arrow of time Lost in the sands Arrow of time Turn back the hands Arrow of time What's left behind Arrow of time Clocks can't unwind what we let go Turn back the hands or stop the flow What's left behind all that we know The best of plans lost long ago Clocks can't unwind what we let go Turn back the hands or stop the flow What's left behind all that we know The best of plans lost long ago Arrow of time Lost in the sands Arrow of time Turn back the hands Arrow of time What's left behind Arrow of time

As I Am 04:28

Colors green and red Swirling in an arc of flight Shouting in my head Echos growing impolite Drowning in the overflow Rising in the Fahrenheit Falling like dominos Trying hard to stay upright I try to face the world Breakdown communicate Screaming just to be heard Shutdown and isolate I don't want to live alone in your life Take me as I am I don't wanna stand alone in your light Take me as I am Whispered tones lament Fill the air like falling leaves Oceans of discontent Waves crashing on the seas Searching the open skies Dreaming just to stay awake Running to stabilize Standing still so hard to take I try to face the world Breakdown communicate Screaming just to be heard Shutdown and isolate I don't want to live alone in your life Take me as I am I don't wanna stand alone in your light Take me as I am You don't see me as I am Try to bend me in your hand Words slip through me like quicksand The overload I can't withstand I try to face the world Breakdown communicate Screaming just to be heard Shutdown and isolate Shutdown and isolate Shutdown and isolate I don't want to live alone in your life Take me as I am I don't wanna stand alone in your light Take me as I am

A Secret Turning 04:20
lyrics

No flag to wave without the wind No soul to save without a sin In the field between wrong and right We wait until the breaking light  Comes rising There's no denying  Oceans turn grey without a blue sky A heart beats brave when we let go Like the moon waits for the dawn To the moment we are drawn By blue skies, under blue skies A secret turning in us A secret turning in us The thorn hides deep within the heart The price to steep if torn apart With every beat, the pain grows numb Nothing can shine under the darkest sun Still blinding There's no denying Oceans turn grey without a blue sky A heart beats brave when we let go Like the moon waits for the dawn To the moment we are drawn By blue skies, under blue skies A secret turning in us A secret turning in us In the pain, we beg and pray The unknowing path the only way Through the fire In the dark the sweetness stings Among the ruins the vultures sing And conspire Oceans turn grey without a blue sky A heart beats brave when we let go Like the moon waits for the dawn To the moment we are drawn By blue skies, under blue skies A secret turning in us A secret turning in us A secret turning in us A secret turning in us

Hollow My Heart 04:58

To love is in vain But still, we try The heart won't explain So don't ask why Tears of joy, tears of pain Look the same when they dry After all, what remains We accept, we deny I, no I, I can't deny            Hollow my heart The wound runs too deep Can't fill the hole Forever part of me Hollow my heart So easily betrayed Never to be whole For what I gave away Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart So hard to refrain When it catches the eye It won't be contained Like a flash in the sky This hunger left unchained We cannot satisfy Never free from the reign No will to defy I, no I, no I can't deny Hollow my heart The wound runs too deep Can't fill the hole Forever part of me Hollow my heart So easily betrayed Never to be whole For what I gave away Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart I, no I, I can't deny Hollow my heart The wound runs too deep Can't fill the hole Forever part of me Hollow my heart So easily betrayed Never to be whole For what I gave away Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart Hollow my heart

Farther From Zero 04:59

Fairy tales without an end Stages set where heroes pretend See this fight is just a show But we could never change the course If love is loss without remorse Chasing the light of the afterglow Each time the red line burns close to the edge Farther and farther from zero, we fall Farther and farther from zero Every word the voices unheard shout from a ledge Farther and farther from zero, we fall Farther and farther from zero Smoke and mirrors illusions so grand Behind the curtain a sleight of hand The true lies so hard to conceive Talking heads with empty hearts Deny the proof and sing of ramparts In this land of make-believe Each time the red line burns close to the edge Farther and farther from zero, we fall Farther and farther from zero Every word the voices unheard shout from a ledge Farther and farther from zero, we fall Farther and farther from zero Each time the red line burns close to the edge Farther and farther from zero, we fall Farther and farther from zero Every word the voices unheard shout from a ledge Farther and farther from zero, we fall Farther and farther from zero Farther and farther from zero, we fall Farther and farther from zero Farther and farther from zero, we fall Farther and farther from zero Each time the red line burns close to the edge Farther and farther from zero, we fall Farther and farther from zero Farther and farther from zero, we fall

War Is In The Mind 05:43

We only get one story We only get one chance Given to the glory If this is our last dance We lost our way Whispers in the shadows Handshakes never seen Blinded by the light shows Staring at the screen We lost our way They sold the signs Weaken the righteous mind Divided we can't align The future they undermine By design, we lose War is in the mind Don't yield the lines are breaking War is in the mind No quarter, no escaping War is in the mind Reclaim what they have taken War is in the mind The bells will toll outreaching A call for those who dare We have to stop the bleeding But it takes more than a prayer We lost our way Sold the perfect crime History once enshrined Now just an old headline  Question what they decline Look inside for clues War is in the mind Don't yield the lines are breaking War is in the mind No quarter, no escaping War is in the mind Reclaim what they have taken War is in the mind They spin the lies, this grand illusion will deceive Cover our eyes, spellbound delusions we believe  Bury the why's, under confusion we concede Voices denied, one revolution until we are freed Weaken the hands that bind Divided we must align The future we will define By design, we choose War is in the mind Don't yield the lines are breaking War is in the mind No quarter, no escaping War is in the mind Reclaim what they have taken War is in the mind

Stay Blind Walk slow Wait for the signs Let truth unfold The roads we climb Fade far below Echoes of time That we used to know Hope dies And we forget Faith in a lie That we can't accept The warning signs We disconnect The distant cries Sink in the depths Scars are meant to last Remind us the past Is something real Secrets we keep steadfast But in the end We always reveal Children Cry Without shame They ask us why We can't explain Crucified Put to the flame Our heroes die Without a name Scars are meant to last Remind us the past Is something real Secrets we keep steadfast But in the end We always reveal Anger will ignite We keep losing sight Disengage or fight The world will awaken Never wrong or right The blame will incite The broken to unite  No longer forsaken Alone inside the spirit is breaking In the silence of my own making  Anger will ignite We keep losing sight Disengage or fight The world will awaken Never wrong or right The blame will incite The broken to unite  No longer forsaken Alone inside the spirit is breaking In the silence of my own making  Scars are meant to last Remind us the past Is something real Secrets we keep steadfast But in the end So hard to conceal

Before The Fall 05:00

I know the answer but it makes no sense Why justify who's right or wrong  You pull the trigger blindly no pretense The winds of change headstrong Why do we carry on  There's a light on the lost horizon There's a dreamer in us all A voice that keeps on guiding Even when we miss the call There's a world of faith dividing There's a crack in every wall A choice, moments defining Sacrifice before the fall There are no rules until the games in play Why dignify the epigone Can't reach a truce without a war to wage So we dive in headlong Why do we carry on There's a light on the lost horizon There's a dreamer in us all A voice that keeps on guiding Even when we miss the call There's a world of faith dividing There's a crack in every wall A choice, moments defining Sacrifice before the fall Why do we carry on Why do we carry on Why do we carry on Why do we carry on There's a light on the lost horizon There's a dreamer in us all A voice that keeps on guiding Even when we miss the call There's a world of faith dividing There's a crack in every wall A choice, moments defining Sacrifice before the fall Why do we carry on Why do we carry on Before the fall Before the fall again Before the fall Before the fall again Before the fall Before the fall again

Love is denial, so we play the fool Love is a trial with no judge to rule Love is goodbye when you can't let go Love is the why, everything we know This grand design We contemplate When stars align Don't hesitate Moments divine We calibrate Souls intertwine We resonate Love is a prayer on bended knee Love is the stare that makes us weak Love is the sky, Boundless and wide Love mystifies when hearts collide This grand design We contemplate When stars align Don't hesitate Moments divine We calibrate Souls intertwine We resonate We resonate This madness that can't be defined We struggle to hold It wraps around us like a vine It grows uncontrolled  We can't break the fall Losing it all, lost in the chase All for a moment's grace All for a moment's grace This grand design We contemplate When stars align Don't hesitate Moments divine We calibrate Souls intertwine We resonate We resonate We resonate We resonate

When I Becomes We 05:13

The flames slow dance and quiver like a sun Seven candles burn brighter when they're seen as one The mirror sees the truth, the shadows deep inside For sadness laced with anger, never easy to disguise When I becomes we Let go of what could be This longing to feel so complete Makes us feel alive When I becomes we Cast all judgments to the sea Surrender there's no loss in defeat Only foolish pride Fallen angels from heaven, once blinded by desire Hang in the streets of Babylon suspended by a wire The journey of redemption, a long and arduous road Forgiveness can't be bought with kingdoms full of gold   When I becomes we Let go of what could be This longing to feel so complete Makes us feel alive When I becomes we Cast all judgments to the sea Surrender there's no loss in defeat Only foolish pride  Living is the moment, knowing is the pain Willing is the sacrifice, mighty is restrain Speaking to inspire, hearing those who need Seeing all or nothing, trust what you believe When I becomes we Let go of what could be This longing to feel so complete Makes us feel alive When I becomes we Cast all judgments to the sea Surrender there's no loss in defeat Only foolish pride
