I Live On
05:26

One day I wake up
And ten years have passed
Whatever happened
To days I thought would last
Time never seems
To flow endlessly
Disappearing and
Suppressing me
Ten years I've given to
Living in an altered state
My future uncertain
This risk is my escape
Tired of fighting and
Tired of loosing
What will it take to
Live carefree
Counting
Running
Time fading
I will
Let go
I live on
The next ten years
I will hold in my heart
Time will dissipate
But I live on

Never Forget
08:01
|

I sometimes break
My wall of defense
Vulnerable and frail
I fall
Doubt starts to flood
My thoughts and actions
Confidence is lost
I'm frantic
I struggle to make sense
Why its happened again
What must I change
To persevere
Fly high
I'll defy
All threats
My surreal high
Fly high
I control
This climb
My surreal high
Emotions I learn to control
To channel this strength
Nerves are gone
Breathing is calm
My mind is set
On the task ahead
This state you
Can't take from me
No more will I
Defeat myself
Emotions I learn to control
I look back and reflect
On those days I could direct
A state I've not felt
I can never forget
Emotions I learn to control
To channel this strength
This time I won't forget

Mirrors Of You

He waits
For that day
To look
Like the ads portray
How far will he go
To change
We see
Those who we want
To be
Reflecting
How far we will go
To change
She lives
In a plastic world
Wishing
That she'd make heads turn
How far will she go
To change
One world
One life
Reflections
Don't feel right
One world
One life
How long
Until we realize
We hide
In our mind
From the shadows
Of our life
We're lost
In seclusion
With illusions
Trapped inside
Living in mirrors
Living in mirrors
Why must we look
Through the eyes of the world
Why don't we listen
To the voice inside
Take yourself
As you are
Take all that regret and
Throw it all away
They change
Blending away
Winners
To societies game
Was it worth to forgo
To shine
Idols
They are the mirror
Through which we see
The way we wish
To look and be

Degrees Of Freedom
07:25
|
|||
Sometimes I want more
From my simple life
What would it take
To break out of this state
Walk out and run
Blind to who I'll become
Tell me I can choose
With nothing to lose
Break out of this degree
Tell me I can dream
To become fulfilled
Free from this degree
Years I have spent
Struggling inside the machine
I was a sheep
But the wolf has come out of me
I won't regress this is my chance
To be something more
Tell me I can choose
With nothing to lose
Break out of this degree
Tell me I can dream
To become fulfilled
Free from this degree
One day I will choose
With nothing to lose
Break out of this degree
One day this dream
Will become fulfilled
I'm free from this degree

Holding On
04:48
|

Time
Dilutes my mind
A memory held dear
Afraid it may disappear
Frozen
Just for a second
Eye to eye
I see you smile
I feel alive
Why can't I let go
Holding On
To just one feeling
Holding On
Words I never said
Holding On
A frame of a moment
All I wished
Was to see you again
To test if what I felt
Could be felt by you as well
Holding On
One look
Stopped time
In the moment
I reside
Holding On
One look
Stopped time
In the moment
I reside

Proclivity
07:40
|
|||
I awake in a place I don't know
Drained and alone
It's time for me to go
For years I've unraveled
For months I have traveled
These cities are empty
But I carry on
Somewhere beyond
I sense my counterpart looks on
I hope one day our paths will intersect
Our hearts will lead us
Our senses deceive us
A will to discover
Our unity
Near, near and far
I'm one step closer
To where you are
This, this journey
Is my proclivity
I'll walk till I'm old
I'll turn every stone
Living my life
Searching for you
Roads misleading
I keep dreaming
Days are fading
You keep waiting
Spirit hopeful
Heart is open
Will I see your
Signs for me
Male Choir
I am near
And far
One step closer
To where you are
Oh this journey
I am searching
My proclivity
Female Choir
I am near
And far
One more step
To where you are
Oh this journey
Searching for you
It is my proclivity

Legacy
11:16
|
|||
As I look to the night sky above I feel hope
Solitude
I have stood many times doubting why I try
And yet it all comes back to that first day
A vow
A dream
Is what I have to
Carry me through this
I think of what is ahead
And all that I'll give
The work begins
It starts with a note
A word or just a feeling
Evolves into something
Unforeseen
The days
All blend away
Weeks months years gone
Good times or bad
I endure
I've wanted at times
To give up
Let go
Yet something inside
Brought me back inspired
And I will see
This all the way through
As I walk
Thinking
Why I give so much
To one chance
To this dream
I walk
We walk
To the center of desire
One step
Closer
To the core
And you'll ask
What if
No one
Cares about what I've done
Are five years just wasted
I hope
To inspire just one
Creating
My dream
Passing on a legacy
