Gone 04:27
Memories of memories remembrance of hints helplessly heedless ghosts of fingerprints. Farther and farther blurrier and blurrier. Craving the days of the spotless mind. Merrier. The faster you run the deeper the rage; You realize you have been your very own cage. Your thoughts are cascading through walls that won't hold. Breathe it in, breathe it out, and forget to be bold. He said: "You are way out of my league." She said: "Look at yourself, you're amazing." To which he replied: "It is just the love lense that speaks: there's a freak underneath what you gazin'." His mind would tell him, stay, stay, stay. His heart would tell him, run, run run. "It's not like you to play this game, so 'way you go"- -and he was gone. Fragment by fragment undress the harnessed. Let them all hear what the eyes fail to guess. Ambiguous eye colors on burned photographs. Soundless echoes of now long lost laughs. Unequivocal love for perfection imagined With sullen dislike bleeding through every margin. Distracting tasks, two lives to kill time living. Believe all you want, but seeing is deceiving. He said: "You are way out of my league." She said: "Look at yourself you're amazing." To which he replied: "It is just the love lense that speaks: there's a freak underneath what you gazin'." His mind would tell him, stay, stay, stay. His heart would tell him, run, run run. "It's not like you to play this game, so 'way you go"- -and he was gone.

Again 04:15
And you wake up again To drive on the same road again To go to the same place again To see the same faces again To do the same things again As you wait for the time to pass again But the time is passing and you are still standing on the same spot that you were last year and you keep asking what are you doing while waiting for a change to happen But no matter how long you waitin the change is not gonna happen as long as your legs can take it dont stop and keep runnin And you prep up again To drive on the same road again to go out at the same place To hung with the same people again to have the same drink again As you wait for the time to pass again But the time is passing and you are still standing on the same spot that you were last year and you keep asking what are you doing while waiting for a change to happen But no matter how long you waitin the change is not gonna happen as long as your legs can take it dont stop and keep runnin But the time is passing and you are still standing on the same spot that you were last year and you keep asking what are you doing while waiting for a change to happen But no matter how long you waitin the change is not gonna happen as long as your legs can take it dont stop and keep runnin

You feel lonely but you re never alone you let the distance with the others to grow coloured cycles on a black canvas drawn you can see the void but you are on your own Time is winding down you hear the clock ticking you push away those who are standing cause they block your way and you have to get through the invisible door as its closing as its closing You hear a song but you ve queued the next one you see a face but you ve queued the next one you change places so fast till they re fading end up being blurred colors on a painting Time is winding down you hear the clock ticking you push away those who are standing cause they block your way and you have to get through the invisible door as its closing as its closing The smell of hurry is everywhere and the sand in the glass is pilling everything looks still as you move so you stop (pause) only for a moment Time is winding down you hear the clock ticking you push away those who are standing cause they block your way and you have to get through the invisible door as its closing as its closing And its closing but you cant remember what's on the other side

He said "forgive me" "I can only be this much." "Don't feed the monster, live as your own master. Go away, and don't turn back." She closed her mind and waited for the stain to dry. She wasn't blind, but through enamored eyes the poison is as sweet as the lie. They're face to face, they're soul to soul. she's seen it all before. And she's already halfway through the door when he starts to bleed out words: "Whatever you feel, whatever you see, whatever you do, wherever you are. Whatever this is, whatever this means, whatever you seek: I am gonna break you I don't love nor hate you I can't be the man you want. I am bound to break you I don't love nor hate you. I can't be the man you want." He said "forgive me." "I can only be a friend." "It doesn't matter, It's not me you're after. Just my version in your head." She closed her eyes and waited for the storm to pass. It feels unreal, impossible to deal with- just one half of a romance. They are face to face Not heart to heart. They're born to be apart. And she doesn't even dare look back whens he feels him twist the knife: "Whatever you feel, whatever you see, whatever you do, wherever you are. Whatever this is, whatever this means, whatever you seek: I am gonna break you I don't love nor hate you I can't be the man you want. I am bound to break you I don't love nor hate you. I can't be the man you want." (You'll live, that's a given. Breathe it out and breathe in. Breathe it in and breathe it out.) I am gonna break you I don't love nor hate you I can't be the man you want. I am bound to break you I don't love nor hate you. I can't be the man you want."

Looking at the lights on the sky as you try to see in the past does the gravity holds us near or does it drifts us apart Will we ever cover the distance that everyday is growing will we ever fill the void or on our courses we keep going Have you ever seen the starts as they dance around a black hole have you seen how small they look just before they re gone forever Not long ago our route was common and I cant recall the day that ended was it when we saw the horizon and like an illusion it bended And im sending a signal but I hear nothing back is it due to interference or you re way too far have you ever seen the starts as they dance around a black hole have you seen how small they look just before they re gone forever Feels like you ve gone too far

Promethea 04:48
I come from the depths of imagination I drink from the fountain of inspiration every time as a new incarnation My name is I come from the depths of imagination I drink from the fountain of inspiration every time as a new incarnation My name is Walking with your younger self trying to remember what you had to be talking about the years to come and all of what you ve ever dreamed as I hop between worlds riding the imaterial vales seeing feelings as colors my subtance in the world of tales I come from the depths of imagination I drink from the fountain of inspiration every time as a new incarnation My name is I come from the depths of imagination I drink from the fountain of inspiration every time as a new incarnation My name is thinking in an unknown language treading on a hand-drawn eight on a path that snakes through time looking for the timeless gate flying on the bright sky reaching for higher and higher for a myth brought to reason about the one that brought the fire I come from the depths of imagination I drink from the fountain of inspiration every time as a new incarnation My name is I come from the depths of imagination I drink from the fountain of inspiration every time as a new incarnation My name is like a thought that became true like a dream where you take part like walking on a mobius strip of an idea that just start

When you were young they used to tell you the moment would come and change it all Next to the sun a shiny rainbow would have appear and cover it all And the years passed and you preped hard and the damascus day was close But the day did come and the day did go leaving some emptiness below Sometimes you commit sometimes you let go like a mandala that you worked for years the moment does come its finally done you only pause before you blow it away

Bluebird 04:05
They put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the wall They keep searching in a single fate we are all trapped in a giant hall There's no chance There's no chance There's no chance at all I walk the streets drunk and alone strangers with faces I haven't seen before I keep looking crawling into beds but i cant find the one i'm looking for There's no chance There's no chance There's no chance at all There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I dont let it to shout there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and say stay down Then i put him back again but he keeps singing and it's nice enough to to keep me weeping There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm clever enough to sometimes let him out And let him out
