So this is, this is the end
Deception finally deceived itself
Broken pieces of the dreams we lived
Choked on our own lies, choked on ourselves
As I look down on the ruins we created
Inevitable from day one
My ship won’t drown, my ship won’t drown
In this maelstrom that has become of our dreams
But I walk invigorated, fearless
Cause every failure is just another lesson to learn
But I walk fearless, invigorated
Cause every breakdown is just another reason to get up again

Virtue of the vicious

Praise the lords of deception, blind disciples
Close your eyes to the truth, never question any of their answers
Your ideology destroys what hands and hearts have built up
I will not fall...I will not fall prey to your lies! NO!
Derive your faith from the colors of this flag
From the stories of your fathers
But know, only your own actions
Are accountable for your pride
No tolerance for your hatred
One nation under god, one nation above all
No tolerance for your hatred
Causeless racial superiority
No tolerance for your hatred
Blind disciples till the end
No silence when they march, no quantum appreciation
Bear in mind commencements, no more silence, no tolerance

My apology
02:36
|

Take these words as what they are; I know they can’t heal any scars
Cut so many years ago to the ones that I once cherished
All these words that I could say, does it matter any way?
If I say, I’m sorry, I regret
This is my apology
You might not remember, you might have learned to forget
As days passed by and seasons changed
But in these sleepless nights I lie awake
And I still do remember, I still regret
It may take a million years for such simple words
So hard to speak
All these words that I could say, does it matter any way?
If I say, I’m sorry, I regret
I never want to be like this again, rewind those years, start over again
Would I rethink, would I change my ways, alter our paths or still be the same?

Shine

This night, never ending, I feel it crawling up inside of me and there's no way out
All my weakness, all my fears coming to the surface, this time I'm on my knees and I'll never get up again
I slowly feel the weight on my chest increasing with every breath I take so desperately and there's no way out
This time I'm on my knees and there s no way out
But with this last spark of hope
Cause inside of me there is a spark that never dies
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of the paths ahead of me
I'll never close my eyes, never block my ears, I'll never sit still with my hands tied on my back
Even if this means I'll have to walk alone, I know at least I'll take these steps on my own
This dawn will break and I will rise
Rise above my mistakes
This dawn will break and I will shine, shine on
Though I may stumble, I will not fall
This dawn will break and I will shine, shine on
This dawn will break and we will shine, shine on

Still searching
02:55
|
|||
|
Walking these city streets, familiar for so many years
But never felt like home, never felt like home
Where the heart dwells, where the mind rests, where the time flies resting in contentment
This place has never felt like home to me!
Faceless hollow shells, faithless dull eyes
Caged in these city walls forever and a day
From the first day to the last day I will fight this numbness
Till my last step, I will strive - till my last breath I will strive
Still searching, still striving, a progression for more
Still searching, still striving, so much more to come
Still searching, still striving, for a place called home
Still searching, still striving, deadlock equals death
I have nothing in common with you

The first step
04:43

...and if these hands could only change
How many times have I listened to your mourning
How many times have you poured out your untouched plans
But I, I don't want to be the man who always tells the stories
Of the demons he never even dared to challenge
Strength – to change the things one can
Serenity – to accept those that one can't
Wisdom – to know the difference
Courage – to take the first step
Where are the builders? where are the visionaries?
Wake from dormancy and become the builder of your own dreams
It’s better to fail than never try at all
You can't procrastinate your life forever
Rather die on my feet than live on my knees
I won't hold back my dreams forever
It’s in your hands to give these days worth
It’s in your heart to take the first step
Every word every action has the power to last
So make it fucking count!
