An Office For...

Fallen down
Hear the broken sound
Like water rushing hard against the ground
I’m lost without faith
I’d give anything to touch your face
I can’t function without you
In the dark and out of truth

A Dead Man
06:32

No more lonely nights
sitting here alone
No more paradise
Standing on the edge
on a rotting stone
I’m slipping through the hole
Now in darkness I belong
A dead man to the living
A ghost behind these walls
I dream of love now failing
God save us from us all
No more paradise
sitting here alone
No more lonely nights
Standing on the edge
I feel like letting go
I’m slipping through the hole
Now
A dead man to the living
A ghost behind these walls
I dream of love now failing
God save us from us all

I
have given up my dreams and freedom
Let all of my fears take the control
No longer riding the light
You
The spiritual guides I’ve encountered
throughout my life are now silent
Convictions are tested and barely hold
The dreamer/child part of me now feels betrayed
The sanctum’s been breached, all the sacred light fades
Once felt like tomorrow now feels far too late
If this is so right why can’t I find my way?
Why the waiting, assessing all the ones you’ve let down?
Give me wings to fly away
Until the sun illuminates
It could be ours tomorrow
For love defines the way
Our time here left is borrowed
The healing starts today
What’s done is done
Now we write our obituary
She washes out the invasion
The Creator
Give me wings to fly away
Until the sun illuminates
It could be ours tomorrow
For love defines the way
Our time here left is borrowed
The healing starts today

Someone Listening?
08:05

To sacrifice my life
Is what I choose to do
Without a second thought
In my eyes lies the truth
It’s what I do
All for you
It’s all for you
I do it for you
How long can we last without each other?
It’s all I think about
The need to heal the world now
is more powerful than to burn it down
Fate has ordained
that the men who went to the moon
to explore in peace
stay on the moon to rest in peace
They know that there is no hope
for their recovery
But they also know that there is hope
for mankind in their sacrifice
Calling, calling home
Is there someone listening?
Calling, calling home
Is there someone listening?
In the ancient days
Man looked to the stars in search of hope
Now in modern times all we see is darkness
We don’t know who we are anymore
Still we look to the stars
Still we look to the stars
These men who lay down their lives
in mankind’s most noble goal:
The search for truth and understanding
They will be mourned by Mother Earth
that dared send two of her sons
into the far reaches of the unknown
Calling, calling home
Is there someone listening?
Calling, calling home
Is there someone listening?
Someone?
Is there anybody listening?
Anyone?
I’m calling out to you
I believe in the search for truth
I believe we can find balance, yeah
I believe we can stop the feud
I believe we can light our way
I believe we can break the noose
I believe we can make amends
I believe we can all conclude
that the healing must start today
Is there someone listening?

Forsaken
07:26

No longer flowing
The source has stopped feeding me
This prison isolating
I remember all my dreams
Days fade away
where I can’t feel a thing
Nothing seems real
My blood thickening
I swallow my dreams
I, now too black to feel
I, now reside in my cloak of fear
I know it’s wrong
You feel it too
Just a forsaken inhuman fool
I stand before you
broken and tired of pain
All of my torments
please drink them, feed at last
There’s no life inside you left yet still you last
Cold and pale, I’ll purify this empty shell
All the willful wrongs you’ve done, now letting go
When your salvation comes,
I’ll give you back your soul
I know I’m not your father
I know I’m not looking well
Look inside my eyes and
you’ll see the meaning of hell
Let me eat your flower
Pour your water on me
Rehydrate my heart
Make me live again
Let me eat your flower
Pour your water on me
Rehydrate my heart
Make me live again
Let me eat your flower
Pour your water on me
Rehydrate my heart
Make me live again
Let me eat your flower
Pour your water on me

Buried

Searching for
a spark of light in your eyes
I know it’s there
hiding in the back of your head
I’ve seen it shine before
It’s sleeping in the night
Don’t bury it away
The hurt is what you feel
Don’t bury it away
Please show me how you dream
Closer to the marrow
I have given it a name
Closer to God
Closer to your well
It resides in our dreams
I am the same
I cover my eyes when
afraid to lose it all again
Don’t bury it away
The hurt is what you feel
Don’t bury it away
Please show me how you dream
I know the way it goes
when you let your triggers show
Deeper they take you down
into that rabbit hole
Don’t bury it away
The hurt is what you feel
Don’t bury it away
Please show me how you dream
How do you dream?
How do you dream?
Oh! Tell me, tell me
I know the way it goes
when you let your feelings show

All Turns to Clay
08:32

Sorrow day
You wait for the daylight break
For demons are
fancying this scene
Fancying this scene
What causes this?
This insatiable hunger for hatred
It’s embedded in their nature
They’ll never leave it behind
Who are we kidding now
Only we
Only them
All turns to clay
There must be a chance out there
waiting patiently
I must make amends
for all that I take
and find a way
to give it back someday
Surviving today
while time slips away
Sufficing to say
Surviving in the way you try to understand their side
Sufficing in the way you try to help your fellow man
How I am amazed
that what you made for me
took my freedom away
Why must we
constantly empty our tears?
I want to turn the page
All we did
Cause nothing lives
I’d rather be sailing away now
You sell it away now
and sail away
All turns to clay
Surviving today
All turns to clay
While time slips away
All turns to clay
All turns to clay
All turns to clay
All turns to clay

Unafraid
07:18
|

Once afraid
to conjure light
Fearing change
one cannot see the way
towards the dream
Blind from what is sane
Now I can never ( I ) can never look back
Now I can never ( I ) can never lose track
Now I can never ( I ) can never, can never look back
Reckoning
The past will always haunt me
The present brings a certain sense of peace
Altering
the river flowing through me
To you I say
you’re the reason I’m standing here
Now I can never ( I ) can never look back
Now I can never ( I ) can never lose track
Now I can never ( I ) can never, can never look back
Now I can never ( I ) can never look back
Now I can never ( I ) can never lose track
Now I can never ( I ) can never, can never look back
Awakening
Through my ancestors I live
Oppression gives
Their courage sets me free
Unafraid
to leave the morning sorrow
and learn to shine again
Unafraid
to throw away tonight
and make tomorrow
The light is coming
The night is young
The light is coming
The night is young
The light is coming
The night is young
The light is coming
The night is young
Staring through your lens
See only part of the gem
that you are
Will you show me who you truly are?
Unafraid
to leave the morning sorrow
and learn to shine again
Unafraid
to throw away tonight
and make tomorrow
Unafraid
Tonight is ours to make tomorrow
The light is coming ( I )
The light is coming ( I )
The light is coming ( I believe )
The light is coming
The light is coming ( I )
The light is coming ( I )
The light is coming ( I believe )
The light is coming ( heal me )
The light is coming ( I )
The light is coming ( I )
The light is coming ( I believe )
The light is coming
The light is coming ( I )
The light is coming ( I )
The light is coming ( I believe )
The light is coming ( heal me )

Stay

I made it this far
Thought I could do it alone
I admit I was wrong
I am falling apart
Will you take me in
as I am?
Nurture me
back to health
I tried to break the madness
Thought that it would leave me alone
All made out of sadness
Nothing you have not seen before
Can I leave the chaos
far behind this time and for all?
My roots are soaked in blackness
Following me back from the start
Can you take me in
(I tried to break the madness
Thought that it would leave me alone)
as I am?
(All made out of sadness
Nothing you have not seen before)
Nurture me
(Can I leave the chaos
far behind this time and for all?)
Back to health
(My roots are soaked in blackness
Following me back from the start)
Back to health
All I did
was to push you away
Testing the viridity of love
All I see
are millions of stars
dancing by the riverside
Many ways to realize
You and me holding the line
Stay with me
Please stay with me
Stay with me
Stay
