01 Illusionist
I faced the world before me, the fingers of the breeze against my face
My heart beating slower and slower, as the peace turned into war
Trying to make sense of a hopeless existence, the world I knew broken open before my eyes
Where do I go from here? Nothing feels real, this pain is tearing my sanity in two
Free me from the burden of a life unfulfilled, cut these ties and let me go
Set me adrift, set my heart free, complete nothingness falls before me
Through the eyes of lifeless ghosts I scream
Remember those echoed voices, in the back of your mind
FUCK!
Tearing the mask that covers my reality, this is the lie that calls my name
Faces in the water pull me into the lies, and on crashing waves we close our eyes
I open my eyes and see what lies before me, this world is nothing more than a distant memory
I’m having the hardest time accepting this reality
An illusion fabricated by the cruellest of hearts
Let the love that is felt breathe air in your lungs
Take my sanity and fear, and send me to peace
Grab me by my soul and bring me to my feet
I hope my footsteps match your heartbeat
I hope my footsteps match your heartbeat

02 Lost In Fearful Emptiness (LIFE)
We are the ones stuck while life moves on with or without us
Two steps behind never catching up
So turn the light off in your eyes
These broken hands are finding it so very hard to carry the weight of a life gone wrong
So leave me here to float in the deepest part of darkness
Heal my wounds with your words
Lift my heart and make me whole and I will heal the deepest wounds within your soul
A love that a hopeless heart will always feel
Always will be real
Being lost in this fearful emptiness for far too long
The weight of our minds is the rock that anchors us
The rising tide brings comfort but will send us to the depths
We’re sinking deeper and deeper without a breath in our lungs
I can see the panic in your eyes
I can feel the fear within your heart
We are here forever never gone we live our lives never alone
These days will not last and the hardest times are still to come
But lift up your head and open your heart.
The scars on your heart will always run deep
Never shy away from the stars in the sky that spell your name
They are always there for you when you feel like giving up
You just need to keep on breathing
In hope of one day finding the truth about this world
Wake up and know that love will always guide you home
Love will always guide you home
You just need to keep on breathing
In hope of one day finding the truth about this world
Wake up and know that love will always guide you home
Love will always guide you home

Everything We Are

03 Everything We Are
Everything before me is ablaze in my eyes
Watching with intent as the world I knew ceases to be
All that’s left of my life is a whispered echo
Failure in the eyes of the casting gaze my heart is fading, weary
As I exhale the disappointment
My eyes a filled with the truth about the life we lead this is everything we are
The hollow feeling brought out amidst the darkness that has fallen over me
This is everything we are
We blindly accept the reality of the world in which we’re presented
Forced to exist in a world lacking courage and heart
I am just a man lacking direction a ghost wandering blank
Further and further into the abyss I stare my body lies lifeless
As everything I love tears away
I’m a dead man here I’ve got nothing to fear my lungs fill with fire as the world ceases to be
These lacerations upon my heart tell the tale of things to come
The blackened skies casting down on defeat
This is everything we are
How can one so strong feel such weakness as the night burns bright the darkness feels calm
Grant me the serenity within help me end this plague felt from the inside
I wasn’t told of this life I wasn’t warned of the life that I would lead
An existence filled with greed a time where hope never was
I have witnessed true terror I have seen the end of the world
We conquer one fear for next in hope of release from the torment
Our minds forever in defeat our hearts forever lost in the depths
Lying broken and cold waiting for the non exist
Praying for the time to come and release all that was promised
Lost in this fear my own personal solitude hearing the words slip silently from the dead below
This is everything we are

04 The Void
This is the call of the void
Break free of these shackles of existence painless moments await at the end of your life
Give up on the sorrow give up on the fear take my hand we can begin
I’m out in the wasteland of our lost hopes
Trying to regain this love for life which has been absent all these years So close this void within my chest
Keep the poison in my veins don’t let the heartless eyes fool you
I’m alone in this war I’m drowning
Amongst the breeze I can hear it
The faint words that echo in the back of my mind
Telling me to let go tears fall from my eyes as the realization hits
Isolated beyond this world I’m lost
The feeling is always present a long life of impending failure
my head held low as the torrent of emotion pass over can’t you see it in my eyes?
Can’t you hear it in the words? I have seen the void it has enveloped my heart
Take my hand
Break free of these shackles of existence painless moments await at the end of your life
Give up on the sorrow give up on the fear take my hand we can begin
My eyes are open and I see this world for what it really is where has the colour gone?
I’m falling away from everything I’ve ever known this is the call of the void
The feeling I’ve felt lost for
I believe the black wolf is before me dragging me into this endless void fingers bleeding
From fear and loss of self call of the void darkest horizons ahead these poisoned veins spill
A pain rarely seen but deeply felt

05 Such Promise
I don’t think I’ve ever been so confused with the meaning of my existence
Who I am and who I am meant to be
My mind and my heart forever locked in a never ending conflict
Brought on by the fear of never being who I was brought up to be
I have spent my life face down in the dirt afraid to become the man my mother sees
Sleeping away these feelings running from the pain of existence
Trying to escape the hollow feeling in my chest
Brought on by the poison thoughts which plague my mind and taint my heart
Too many times in this life I’ve been let down
Burn the memory of this loss in my mind forever
Cracks begin to show in a once unbreakable soul
I’ll never live another day with hope
I will lay down and not fight back
Breathless lungs until the very end
I’m done and this is the end
Don’t cry for me don’t take the weight of this heavy heart
Don’t see the pain don’t feel the fear
The wind is flowing through me and I feel forever at peace
I see the world as a broken man
I had such promise
