Reflections 03:49
Am I only here to serve Only to become what they have in store My presence has no value My presence is nothing worth My fear of their selfish thoughts Makes my inside sore I am controlled and my reflection is not what it used to be I know what’s right and wrong But their grip is too tight on me I’ve lost my self control I don’t know what’s right and wrong! If I try to speak my mind, my lungs will be torn I try to move my body, then my bones will BREAK! I’m all alone! I’m all alone in the dark and I, I have travelled far. The road to hell is paved with good intentions What separates good from bad? This crossroad is too much to bare. I asked myself, is someone really there?! Looking up in the stratosphere! If I try to speak my mind, my lungs will be torn If I try to move my body, then my bones will... Bones will BREAK! Then I pulled myself together and became more self aware The seal that held me down slowly lifted And now I am in control I opened my heart - and let it out!

Time Travel 04:34
Through my mind - nothing is logical - travel back, to that which makes me child Details are sublime, the truth is compromised. It’s more than I can take! My heart Skips a beat My Heart Can’t even stand on my feet I feel the same, yet so different! Am I to blame, my fears and doubts. I am lost, in my inner space. Mental patterns, ways of thinking, built them up for years I want to break! What am I thinking about? What are my drives? How can you know someone, when you don’t know yourself? Can you even trust anyone, when you don’t trust yourself? What am I thinking about, I am lost! It’s only time that sets them apart, it’s like the moon and the hourglass Back and forth, circles and cycles. Time is a constant, yet it’s running out. It feels like ages! I turn my back from myself, an undiscovered lie. I feel the same, yet so different! Am I to blame, my fears and doubts. I feel the same, yet so different! Am I to blame, my fears and doubts. I am lost, in my inner space. Mental patterns, ways of thinking, built them up for years!

New Era 04:21
It began on a winter day, I was so cold, you appeared from nowhere. I felt I was losing control. Structures that keeps the feelings away. Do you believe that sticks and stones will save you - passing through the chaos Drew mental pictures of our minds, trying to explain, the unknown. I stared into your unfiltered abyss, it’s six feet under. A mystery. You say that you, are broken. I see the end, rising up through the sphere. We fear our own skin! The distance and the time, between us, sets two people apart. You said our prophets are from the future, they bend the time, there is no illusion. Hearts don’t break they bend, like time. Relativity is law, haven’t we been here before? I see the end, rising up through the sphere. We fear our own skin! You tell stories about your past - set them in contrast. Follow your ship towards your past - That float through sorrow! You said that your time here is borrowed, that you are an old and fragile soul. Out of control, out of control!

It flows in one direction, and still it hits you hard. The future stares back in the mirror. A parallel frequency, it echoes back, unable to grasp. You can believe in anything. All things begin, and ends with the past. You can believe in anything. It’s all the same, It’s all the same! Glimpse through the veil of time and space, see it warp around itself. Black holes, they are the universes version of hell. Earth to dust dust to earth, what is it worth. Cluster of energy, in motion, is there an universal emotion? You can believe in anything. All things begin, and ends with the past. You can believe in anything. It’s all the same, It’s all the same. It’s all the same! Breath in, breath out, in the hour of need, killing time. The horizon is there just annihilate, me! We are building new worlds - rather than discover our own Is it ‘cause we’re afraid, That we are so god damn alone? So god damn alone! You can believe in anything. All things begin, and ends with the past. You can believe in anything. It’s all the same, It’s all the same!

Intervals 05:03
My unconsciousness, wants to die, why do I still live in a fucking lie? Productivity by the seconds, counting down the hours, longing to be free. But when the shackles don’t constrain me! What should I believe? Time flies in - relation, to your perception Isn’t it real, a mental construction? Intervals between night and day! We strive, for growth by burning everything ashes, There is no phoenix to guide us home! They say you shall never feel pain, there is only sun and it never rains. Productivity by the seconds, counting down the hours, longing to be free But when the shackles don’t constrain me! Want to shift time zone to one that does not belong to this universe Mathematical patterns, runs like nihilistic clockwork! What should I believe? Time flies in - relation, to your perception Isn’t it real, a mental construction? Intervals between night and day! We strive for growth by burning everything ashes, There is no phoenix to guide us home!
