Afterglow 03:46
Evacuate, the whole thing's unstoppable It will consume, regenerate Recycled tide, same shit on the radio All wrong, it sure makes you wonder Falling from skies that are ready to blow You're breaking up, a scream in the yonder Canvas destroyed It never had to lie to you Quite simply unlike me There's nothing left for me say I’m beyond all repair Look around, it has arrived Shards of promised dreams blown to smithereens Time to get up and face the dance Pick up the stones that once broke my bones I'm chasing my worth today It's on the rise, we all stand in a row Shake off the rust and just pick a number So overjoyed Who is it that you cater to? Wide awake The morning hours subside You look so happy but feel so sad On the run Just another face lost in the crowd The afterglow of yesterday, relived in stereo

Mindscape 04:01
What a place divine, exit the rear view Here we go, no delay Paradise is fiction, been there Face the facts, live the now May have lacked the vision, not knowing the danger Common phases become us All set, I'm ready to go Can’t give an inch to drama While I’m thinking things through And all is fine, I’m moving in slow So many possibilities and out the door with past beliefs Load my desires Seems like nothing has ever been this clear There is so much to salvage here When the choices near, take the ride On the run, overdone, come what may Confidence is stained, old affair Amazed at what I’ve allowed How those blissful moments betray us
3.
It's set to fail, trying to stay afloat Too far long gone, too late to get a better feel It's what was meant to be I've got to get a grip, it's all I've done before Time is constraining, there's no doubt about it Things I will undergo Can't help but think it's going nowhere But I'm doing just fine So live another day and keep it cool Fix your eye on the prize and make the move Don't let it go Someway it just seems unreal Must say, may not have the heart to see it through Stayed in the lead, voiced it when opposed Too far long gone, a lie that I tried to conceal Becoming clear to me It's been the longest trip, the facts I can't ignore No more debating, there's no way around it Bury the overflow Maybe it's finally heading somewhere Walk up to the line
4.
Might never change, always a guess Every move is unknown, so hard to read You put your faith in the role that you play for your god, control Your superman cannot save you now, completely withdrawn Claim somehow you don't belong There's no way out Hasn't changed a bit Make the dive deep in the abyss I'm headed back down, no angel on my shoulder Stay alive, put an end to this Took me a while to reconnect, still I don't have a clue, the plight These ominous days I've met before, my home All senses fight, like climbing a mountain Take it in, weighing it all Its not a matter of luck, can't refute
5.
Break through fog where the ugliness roams Darkest night that haunts us all And now I'm wishing that things will turn out right The weight one might carry, isolates Let go of me, seen quite enough, great moments overdue So good day, goodnight and farewell Can't come with me on this flight So good day, goodnight and farewell The world's edge is now in sight Moving fast with no purpose or goal Can't get past this monstrous wall There's nothing guiding me, twice the wrecking ball No storing all these worries, can't fly away It ties me down and looks right through with unforgiving might
