Lost in rut Thoughts won’t shut Lights that blind We’re not your kind Up they turn Through concern Cast a pall Over the wall (7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) Clouds keep on floating I can’t stop staring Mind space exploding An endless caring I can’t seem to rest from the fear Brain keeps spinning, oh help me dear I hear words beyond, unspoken Tell me to fix what’s not broken They affect me They convince me Walls, internally Painted with gloomy strokes Soul’s disparity My muse forever chokes Pall to the wall It’s in you Must push through Not defined By strangers’ mind Head game strong Glasses new They are wrong Rose-colored view Don’t affect me Don’t convince me Walls, internally Painted with gloomy strokes Soul’s disparity My muse forever chokes Pall to the wall (Instrumental section) Walls, internally Painted with gloomy strokes Soul’s disparity My muse forever chokes Pall to the wall

Goodbye bad high
 There comes my ride

 Everyone leave so I can thrive
 Life in the state of happiness 

 Goodbye for now 
 I check out when you check in
 So I can dream about what’s next to do
 And wait till my turn comes around

 And you can feel trapped but I’m glad it’s here
 Soaring high with the flow
 But it’s at end
 Hunger hits, mind’s numb
 And I feel all alone with you 

 Come to me, teach me how to win
 I have no more to give but much to lose

 I long for much more
 It swings and hits again
 Need that might be true 
 It wants me to repeat

 I long for much more
 It swings and hits again
 Need that might be true 
 I’m always falling through

 You don’t even feel the rush because you are so in it
 When you start to feel it, it’s because it’s winding down
 It’s crazy You get kinda lost
 You have no sense of time, don’t think about eating or drinking because you’re so in it 
 And the next day is a gamble, either you hate what you did or you absolutely love it

 I was unstoppable and more alive than ever
 But I also blocked out a lot of important stuff Friends and family mostly
 When you haven’t tried it you won’t understand it 
 And you shouldn’t feel the need to explain yourself 
 It’s weird, they want me to be great at something but complain when I’m doing it 

 I know I want this but how will you feel
 Conquer or forfeit, both is not good enough
 Should I escape to the clouds where I can fade?
 Forget me or forge me, what will you choose? 
 And choosing neither is okay too for me I know I want this but how will you feel
 Conquer or forfeit, both is not good enough
 Should I escape to the clouds where I can fade?
 Forget me or forge me, what will you choose? 
 And choosing neither is okay too for me It wants me to repeat 
 It wants me to repeat It wants me to repeat It wants me to repeat There comes my ride

Evolvage 04:11
I know
 Why we fail
 Your taste has begun to rot

 And I don’t know 
 How we can help the growth
 But does the past not speak for us? Does it not? 
 
 How is it wrong to change the theme to fit the tune? 
 Can it be true that you are stuck in your cocoon? 

 Bending the rules
 Giving chance a chance
 How can you see this through my eyes? 

 Save your breath
 Evolvage

 Has the age begun?
 Or are we stuck in apathy?
 My friend, it needs you now (all of you)
 
 How is it wrong to change the line to fit the scene? 
 Can we evolve or is the top too hard to reach? 

 Bending the rules
 Giving chance a chance
 How can you see this through my eyes? 

 I don’t know why
 Can you not tell me why?
 How can you see this through my eyes? Bending the rules
 Giving chance a chance
 How can you see this through my eyes? (Will we evolve?)

 How can you see this through my goddamn eyes?

I’m close to losing my mind Sadly accepting this decline The sun is too close to the ground Feels like I’m burning in the dark Telling people I’m all right Lying about my self-control Am I on my own again? Tell me, tell me, tell me I need a painkiller Where is the painkiller? Give me a painkiller To make me sane I need a painkiller Where is the painkiller? Give me a painkiller To ease my pain We’ve been here a thousand times Seeing the promise not come through Closed minds far from the ground They left me out to melt again Recommended me shortcuts That leads nowhere Is it true that we’re not fine? Save us, save us, save us I need a painkiller Where is the painkiller? Give me a painkiller To make me sane I need a painkiller Where is the painkiller? Give me a painkiller To ease my pain (Ease my pain) (Ease my pain) (Make me sane) Ease my pain Painkiller Where is the painkiller? Give me a painkiller To make me sane I need a painkiller Where is the painkiller? Give me a painkiller To ease my pain Ease my pain Make me sane

It’s never enough to slow down
 The screaming cars are passing
 I’m part of a race for losers
 Maybe nothing is good enough

 Running late to things that’s slowing down the tempo of today
 Watching restlessness assuming control, it blurs the view

 I hide from the question “why” 

 It’s never enough to slow down
 The screaming cars are passing 
 I’m part of a race for losers
 Maybe nothing is good enough 

 It seems like I’m wasting away
 From people that keep me astray
 Speed it drives me insane, but I won’t see them again 
 From mirror to road 

 It’s never enough to slow down
 The screaming cars are passing
 I’m part of a race for losers
 Maybe nothing is good enough 

 Why do I always feel like I’m behind?
 Stuck in time, frozen red light
 Why do they keep me in this state of mind?
 Traffic signs are misleading

 I will slow down
 I’ll pass you

 It’s never enough to slow down
 I’m losing my breath while resting
 The screaming cars are passing
 I’m part of a race for losers
 Maybe nothing is good enough 

 Why do I always feel like I’m behind?
 Stuck in time, frozen red light
 Why do they keep me in this state of mind?
 Traffic signs are misleading

 I’ll pass you

The Try 04:48
Converse
 It’s time to add something
 Ignorance turn
 The gap is closing in Am I the person you seek
or just a tool that you need?
 Is it easier to open up?
 Try your best and test my luck
 While the guilt swallows you whole

 I reject feelings before they’re understood
 I don’t have signs that guide
 The meaning in the back of my mind

 Just like the words that I force
 You keep lying to yourself
 So much harder just to say ‘OK’
 Honesty will ring dismay 
 Are these rules just for me?

 I reject feelings before they’re understood
 I don’t have signs that guide
 The meaning in the back of my mind

 You present these things and I don’t understand
 Why you want me to see
the meaning even you try to find?

 There are no rules for you, just me
 Hopelessly petrified

 There are no rules for you, just me
 Hopelessly petrified

 There are no rules for you, just me
 I’ll sit here and I’ll try

CITA 05:05
Looking good on ‘gram Rich lifestyle, it all seems grand Fame from highlight reels Does that image cause green feels? You sit pretty, earnings rain I’ve got friends, we chase our way after dreams, we seek and share Castles in the air Rushing to breakthrough just to get respected view Fueled by true values, you got Friends and fam to feed the soul While working on your end goal Healthy comes as qualified? Wealthy inside Won’t grow undefined just to change the inner kind Keeping spirits high, at the end of day to roll this way What’s nice to have? What’s need to have?

Cry Trigger 09:00
How many times can one break the mirror? 

 Strolling by another friend in need
 Though I might show sympathy I can never understand
 Broken, action’s curse
 Let us join together opposite normally

 Now take one step and go forward
 Don’t go backwards in the way I’m fearing 
 But why is it that, I’m feeling like I’m in the wrong?
 And when the avalanche hit, your train of thought leaves me behind Elusive luck
 The world is not a torture device
 Let it guide you for a price

 (Longing) 
 Longing for norm 
 (Prolonging) 
 A rise
 
 There’s nothing for me to add
 Still my shoulders stand
 I’m I that sole statue blocking the light you want to see?
 While the smiling triggers crying 

 Showing you how your life could be
 But it seems like you are too scared to follow me
 Change gear, one day it’ll be you 
 And the weight you’ve carried will be an influence 
 (Longing) 
 Longing for norm
 (Prolonging) 
 A rise
 
 There’s nothing for me to add
 Still my shoulders stand
 I’m I that sole statue blocking the light you want to see?
 While the smiling triggers crying 
 
 Ascension in disguise

 (Longing) 
 Longing for norm
 (Prolonging) 
 A sure rise

 (Longing)
 There’s nothing for me to add here
 (Prolonging) 
 Know that my shoulders can be cried on

 (Longing)
 For a price
 (Prolonging)

 (Rise)
 (Norm)
 (Smile)
 (Cry)
