Potential in Kindness
02:44
|
|||
|
No more empathy, no more sympathy
You’re on a path that you call destiny
Erase the weak, feed the elite
Your blindness signs your own defeat
In your weakness you help others to power
Crueler than you, ready to devour
What is the meaning of this void you create
More and more pain, more and more hate
I see the hate deep in your eyes
You speak of truth to disguise your lies
What is the meaning of this void you create
More and more pain, more and more hate
I see potential in kindness, reaching out to others
Turning strangers into sisters and brothers
I never thought it would happen in my time
They say the world is yours but it was never mine
They live, they love, they hurt, they cry
But you don’t care if other people die
You’re building walls when help is due
Have you ever thought this could be you

Cure

Each day another chance in this life of days
It can turn out in so many ways
You keep your hopes up striving towards your best
End up defeated, tired, and distressed
Why does it take so much from me
I lost my sense of being free
I never knew how it felt to be done
Before I break I gotta move on
Look at the lines in my face
Each memory seems to leave a trace
Sometimes you lose when too much is at stake
I gotta move on before I break
I’ve pushed too hard for much too long
Thought I could go on fierce and strong
Now I’m empty and so tired
My head is dizzy and my thoughts are blurred
Came to this place full of myself
Now I leave it full of hurt
Heal my wounds and dull the pain
Life taught a lesson how to stay sane
Take a long walk, let it sink in
I’d rather grow than only win

(Cycle of) Healing
03:48
|
|||
|
Pushed in the corner, shoved to the wall
Dragging me around till I lose control
Pushed to the edge won’t do as I’m told
You can’t understand why I’m set to explode
Take a walk in my shoes, that’s my offer to you
Feel what I feel, burn as I do
Lost myself in a maze of hate
Lost my ability to relate
Lost myself in a moment of madness
Hollowed me out, nothing but sadness
Got a grip to let it go
The darkness comes, ebb and flow
Had to choose to draw the line
Forgive, forget for peace of mind
I’ve been through the anger
I’ve been through the rage
I’ve felt like an animal trapped in a cage
Breaking the cycle, finding new meaning
Only forgiveness will lead to healing

Emotional framing, expected outcome
Mechanisms at work that you can’t outrun
Provoke emotions, construct the frame
Trigger reactions control the game
You can’t predict the future if you understand the past
Driven by false confidence, certainty fading fast
Simplify the facts as you please
Construct a reality where you feel at ease
Nothing is as simple as it seems
Take the easy way out, just play your part
Silence the conflict in your own heart
Nothing is as simple as it seems
Illusion of understanding
Manipulate the decision process
Increase your impact in the name of progress
Flight from reasoning of wrong and right
You try to run but you cannot hide
|

Promise of Tomorrow
02:38
|
|||
|
No past, no future – promise of tomorrow
Neglect the present, end up in sorrow
No past, no future – delusion of infinity
Time is running, the only certainty
I see the age, I see the decay
I realize nothing’s meant to stay
No past, no future – no infinity
Attaining presence out of sheer necessity
No past, no future – you know how
No past, no future – to be here now
Remind myself all that matters is right here
Make it a life, not only time
I don’t want to do my time, I need to make it mine
I see now how it could be, find this moment of clarity

Keep Your Fury
03:08
|
|||
|
An open spot, an empty place
Painful reminder of a missing face
We’re always running as if life is a race
But times together is what we should chase
The next day, we take it for granted
But once it’s gone, it’s all we ever wanted
Time goes by, moments pass
Catch your breath to make them last
I ask myself what will remain
Sweet memories they ease the pain
Different lives and different ways
Gotta make the most of my days
I’d love to see you any given day
But it’s goodbye I have to say
In this life you left your marks
In our memories and in our hearts
Keep your fury, stoke the fire
Chase your dreams full of desire
Rays of light on our ways
After darkness wait better days

Division of Self
03:00
|
|||
|
I care too much without caring enough
I feel too much without feeling enough
I think too much but I can’t make a decision
I fight against my own intuition
I want freedom from fear because I’m free
Fear the division, it starts within me
Fear the downpresser, I’m not fighting myself
I want freedom from fear by accepting myself
Fear of the future, fear to decide
Systematic doubt, nowhere to hide
Loss of control, fear and hostility
A sudden impulse disturbs tranquility
Intelligence and instinct, balance of nature
Constant conflict in my behavior
Division of self, spirit and matter
Unified as one, no part is better
I find freedom

Free Will
03:22
|
|||
|
Free will – use the power of your own mind
Free will – you decide if you are truly kind
Free will – you define your own destiny
Free will – it’s your turn to believe
It is in your hands to be the fool
It is your choice to avoid being cruel
It is in your hands to pave your way
It is your choice to have your say
There’s a difference between weakness and kindness
Power’s in one, while in the other is blindness
There’s a difference between guidance and rules
From one comes wisdom, from the other one fools
There’s a choice and you’ve got to make it
There’s a chance and you’ve got to take it
Age of reason or age of fools
Against the grain or one of their tools
Existence precedes essence
You define why you’re here
Essence precedes existence
Do you know why you’re here

Cold Hand of Reality
04:27
|
|||
|
The cold hand of reality
Expectations as tyranny
Clinical focus, soul-crushing flow
Drawn in with force, nowhere to go
Lock your cell, turn yourself in
Give up your dreams, no chance to win
The killer of dreams, of love and desire
The killer of dreams will extinguish your fire
Losing your dreams, your hope and ideals
Left you with a void that nothing ever fills
Everything here is bright, and hard, and violent
The roaring machine keeps everyone silent
You lose your power and you’re losing sight
Forced to go on in this neon light
What’s gonna happen at the end of your days
What’s gonna happen right here and now
What’s gonna happen if you got something to lose
Dreamless sleep or find the strength to choose

(Life) Before Death
02:52
|
|||
|
Find what’s real, keep it tight
Hold onto your dreams, never lose the light
Stay conscious, stay alive
Finding purpose in a world of strife
Whispers against the roar of the world
Listen closely or they’ll be unheard
Swim in the river, bathe in the light
A silver lining, the end of night
Bathe in the water, drown in the sun
Life before death, the only one
