PALE FACE 03:32
Distant memories Looking for the things you achieved All you find are dreams and dreams and dreams As you look back You see no motion, just routine An image repeating over and over again The world’s got rid of you Sucked the last breath out of you Now the ashes are raining down on me The world’s got rid of you Sucked the last breath out of you Now your pale face can’t tell me And you fought all these battles But you still drown after all At least you die knowing you were heading for shore Was it worth all the fights? As you stare into the void Did you die knowing you were heading for shore?

THE BLUR 03:55
Richness of color Watered down to the blur This fading picture in my head Is just hanging by a thread Mourning for the past My anxiety is meant to last I wish myself away Into the mind of the fearless Take me back to the days I didn’t shed all these tears Bridges were torn apart And I fell into the water My imagination is no longer the rail to latch on to This picture in my head Watered down into the blur It's hanging by a thread All these years of serenity Are starting to flow away from me A connection lost and out of sight It feels like turning blind

BOUNDARIES 03:41
There has always been a part of me That wants to escape reality A lingering struggle inside has got me losing sleep And my red eyes Are staring into the face of death Filthy habits cast my name into stone Before I even thought about the end I’ll watch you go I’ll just watch you leave You’re everything I never wanted to be But you’ll never know What you’ve done to yourself And you’ll always keep Ignoring your own boundaries Lying there in silence Now you’ve shut your eyes No begging for mercy Your lips are running dry Soil is hitting your casket Extinguishing all light Embracing the darkness of the long night Falling through time and space Falling away from yourself
4.
STAINS 03:40
You saw me coughing blood In the midnight hour You stepped into the flood When I lost all my power You can wash away the stains From the floor, the wood and cloth But to clean my soul My tears won’t be enough Make me lose my shame I’ve been guilty of all the pain Clear my name Wash away the stain You watched me lying with open eyes In the first morning light Wondering how I could still be alive (No sleep) Just the amnesia of the night No dreams just regrets Haunting me `til the day I die
5.
Days are losing shape As I lose my faith In the dreams we used to chase And now I don’t even dare To take a look in the mirror Is it already over? Waiting for death to take us both Why is it so hard to face the truth? Time will split our souls in two I need to tear out my eyes Because I can’t watch you go I can barely recognize myself Six years have turned me into someone else You don’t seem to notice How it gnaws at me Someday we’ll bury ourselves six feet deep
6.
FADING LIGHT 03:59
Behind the curtain I walk You won’t notice my steps And if I’m gonna fall Only me to pull myself out of the mess I can’t break through to you I’m chained to this one path It leads me further away from you To a place only sorrow will live There will be nothing left to give In the moment the light fades You saw a shadow of my face I’m suffering in silence I didn’t choose the emptiness In the moment the light fades There’s just a shadow of your face I’m slowly disappearing All that’s left, an empty space
