Innocence 02:21
2.
Terror filled lungs, shut. The air reek of lies, It all becomes oh so dark Shattering reality. My own words enslaved me, the cage the lock and the key of my own design, escape or bondage, both are shattering ilusions Leaking through the brain, the eyes saw it all, With its steady silent hand, engulfed everything. My own words enslaved me, the cage the lock and the key of my own design, escape or bondage, both are shattering ilusions -Inside your heart now, you still cling on to hope, you know you've felt it, you can still follow love. -NO! Hide yourself from choice, nothing matters anymore, reality was only meant to its shattering.

IIXIXIV 07:46
I never knew that I'd fall into your arms and be held like you did, in '94 was the year I came to be. -Suck the life out whatever is at your reach, constant want and need before you can stand up and learn your own way out of here. But now she's stuck here because of me, a heavy oath bends her laugh into submissive dread. (bis) She holds me like a prize, there is warmth on every caress, but she hurts, my soul aches like hers, yeah. It's not for you to bear the harm of others, to live as a thorn born to struggle not hurt others, to have all will drained.

Time to leave the past behind has arrived, days won't wait for you to put up the Grown-up Mask and join the ghostly parade of Universal doubt. Lord you should pray for me, life has taken such a blurry tone and it seems I'm the only one to see it fall right at the devils feet. (bis) Of course I'd rather feel that glow inside my chest, that blow of breath youth posses, the cheer of laughing beneath clearer skies, just because we can. But I've learned that nothing is real, it's up to me to decide what to fight, what I want in life. But I try to be strong, it's up to me to decide what to fight, what I want in life.

Next to You 04:40
We were lost, even though we knew where we were Didn't really matter 'cause I knew I was just next to you To live a happy life need nothing more than my guitar and its strings But most importantly my inspiration to my tunes, I need you... I want to be next to you I want to age next to you I want to dream next to you You know my heart is true, there's no doubt in my mind That all I'll ever want is to be right next to you I want to be next to you I want to age next to you I want to dream next to you

Down 01:10

We rose as mighty tides The spaces we've gone through time We began to crash in style As the heart ached its fate I thought things would be so much easier By the River of Life I tried to hold to what wasn't mine But now you're drifting away To another steady water flow From this I'll surely grow So I'll take it slow now Wish you didn't go I don't know... I did what I thought was right Not knowing that I didn't have a choice The course was already set inside her heart Don't you know dreams were never known to last? I thought things would be so much easier By the River of Life I tried to hold to what wasn't mine But now you're drifting away To another steady water flow From this I'll surely grow So I'll take it slow now Wish you didn't go I don't know... Don't let yourself be fooled again Things can happen if you wish them to This life it is yours to take Don't you want to get away from hell? I never really knew who you were (bis)

Oh no ! Which way to go? Could this be it? Like the stars we are the Light of Times long past by, sacred knowledge tells me that I have a soul. But how? Kinda seems like a lie, could this be real? Sacred knowledge tells me that I have a soul, to keep when I die and travel to the heavens high. But how true are the answers inside? This aching quest I can longer hide. Deep in space shimmering stars collide, make no mistake, deep in faith truth therein lies, eternity lies now, - now? - NOW, NOW, NOW! -Don't think I haven't thought of everything, searched for meaning hope and love and hate was all I came to hold, don't judge me I'm just a thoughtful fool, blinded by the Light of Times.

Socionaut 08:04
The signals come through and the body feels it to, the tension and distance never cease to increase, I'm no longer in touch with this fucking world. Hissing and grieving among the living, I'm the outsider, I'm the Socionaut, hissing and grieving among the living. Along the city streets, within the spaces we've so dearly created, some of us belong in isolation, unwilling, internalized segregation. Hissing and grieving among the living, I'm the outsider, I'm the Socionaut, hissing and grieving among the living. What if it's my fault? Could this be of my design? Have I always been... God and the Devil? We are free to choose, between heaven or hell, we are free to choose between heaven... You've got nothing left to loose when you no longer have a soul, might better try to leave socionaut behind, got nothing left to lose, might better try.
