Scarce Light 03:30
I wouldn’t move anymore There is a mine field behind every single door I can’t think straight It's luxury like pouring rain I’ve got no time to clarify All the faces in the room There is a crack in the window When it’s hollowing out scarce light And when the flickering is getting brighter It only shows more divides I guess I better start running quick My head is getting rather crowded I’m filled to the brim like I’m choking I’m fed up with this blackout Turn on the lights to get burned Wouldn’t wish you were here Stuck in nonstop motion, no place to disappear I expected more of my own part Smother myself to death, would you grant me a new start?

No Face 03:58
Don't say a word Turn your back on me No face left on You are cold and buried When your days are numbered You stop counting them Don’t look at me You’re wasting time We’re in a blank place Walk away from me You’re nothing new Well I am moving forward Without luck on my side But what is hard to take Everything is so far away And every day I’m done With everything I want And there is nothing left to do Don't say a word Shoot your gun at me A bullet to the face Down in a ditch and erased Would you throw a perfect pitch When there is nothing left to lose? And every day I’m done With everything I know With everything I am
3.
Waking up Sense a breeze While your head feels like stone Caught in between Fair weather and thunder storms We came so far we’re turning out wrong Slowly transforming into this pile of dust Embrace decay Turning point Lead me far off And take control You say pick your life Accept that I’m done trying Ended up running behind on my plans So if this is how it’s done I feel whole in seeing into my end I really could not wish for more I needed some time to figure out It took me a while to realise That to me it feels more natural to die than to grow old
4.
For want of a nail we let our kingdoms burn We’re able to have it all, but we choose to fall When our families cry we let our senses fail Too frail to temper our longings It’s just, you were ailing In what you’ve done It’s just, you were clueless And now we’re through A loose fitting shoe is what you’ve become You lost your message, now you’ll lose your fights Until you’re just sitting around Sitting around in an empty room, Filled with your hollow little life It’s just, you were ailing In what you’ve done It’s just, you were clueless And now you’re through If we don’t take the effort to make it count Then at least make it burn us out
5.
Do you know the pain, When you cry in vain? You're reaching out, But you're making no sound You'd rather die To be forever tied To the boundlessness of afterlife Now your fields are burning You look at her While you're drowning, down your natural gloom People never see The loss you feel Because they are free And you are down on your knees Trapped inside Disintegrating mind Poisoned by the weight of daily life Feeling alone Hold your backbone strong Never thought I'd lose control Getting sick of letting go Never thought I'd lose it all
6.
When you look into me What do you know and what do you see? When everything starts caving in Would you know where to begin? There is no hate, there’s only laughter Should you hit that knife? There is no pain, there’s only laughter So could you smile? When push comes to shove It doesn’t even matter I know you fought in times you could not pretend When times showered your streets with glass And nothing else There is no pain, there’s only laughter Should you hit that knife? There is no hate, there’s only laughter
7.
Narrowed 03:58
I don't know where I'm going to anymore As I'm falling in and out of touch Can't remember what is left out there Wish I could hit reset I looked at it as if I knew But I never saw it coming Slowly moving forth, always falling back Failing every day to get things back on track Always aiming at the moon, wish I'd seen it through Never even loved myself or anything I do I looked at it as if I knew But I never saw it coming I made the heavens cry Feeling fine in these times of life But now the damage is done I'm running out of time in this life of mine It's so sad That you can't cry forever Feel it On this day As the weekend falls Love is not around the corner
8.
I've been calling out your name in my sleep Wish you were nothing more than just a dream I'm losing ground and my shallow mind An empty heart is such a beautiful sight Girl, you stain like blood on marble Trying to keep up when you're tied down Still there's no place I'd rather drown I hide my words until there's nothing left to lose I'll erase myself when there's nothing more to choose Girl, you stain like blood on marble
9.
I don’t feel like giving in To something so unreal I don’t feel like thinking If there’s nothing to make sense I don’t feel like talking When everything’s been said I don’t feel like saving When everything is dead Was it for something temporary We tend to feel accused For something real there’s nothing we’d do Serving days with zero gain Stepping forward in loose air Do you really think it’s over by now? No, this is never going over It will never end
