They say "not all those who wander are lost"
But from the very beginning, I always was
Constantly searching for a sign
Then I was told to follow the light
Constantly searching
For a sign to follow along
I did everything I was told to
To follow the path that was always taken by everyone
"Then surely you'll find yourself"
Constantly searching
For a sign to follow along
So that I could find the comfort that's lacking in my heart
That's lacking in my soul
I did follow the lights
But I never found myself
But I never found myself
But I never found myself
I reached the end of the road and I never found myself
And in the end, no matter how hard I try, I'm still lost

Have I lost my eyes? Cause there's no sight of tomorrow
While in this place, I sink deeper and deeper
There's a blinding light in the sky
And a floating object looking down upon us
Calling on us
I can't believe what my eyes see
Is that myself looking down upon me?
How can I defeat my enemy?
When I am the enemy
Should I accept this I just witnessed?
Or should I question my sanity?
Is it all in my head?
It must be all in my head
This can't be real, no, it can't be real
How can I fight myself?
I'm afraid I might just fail
I just want to shut down the voices
I cannot take a stand with these noises
How can I defeat myself?
When I'm hiding in my shell
I don't want to fail, no, I don't want to fail
I don't want to fail but I think I'll fail
What's this otherworldly fear?
That I'm feeling
I cannot control my mind
It's overwhelming
This can't be real, no, it can't be real
How can I fight myself?
I'm afraid I might just fail
I just want to shut down the voices
I cannot take a stand with these noises
How can I defeat myself?
When I'm hiding in my shell
I don't want to fail, no, I don't want to fail
I don't want to fail but I think I'll fail

Where are we going now?
Haven't we lost our way yet?
Cause it sure feels like that
And I don't know what's the point anymore
I'm holding on but my grip is lost
Cause I'm afraid
And I'm barely keeping my head
Above the waves, above the waves
And I'm tired of holding on
Cause all of my friends are gone
And I just can't move on
And I'm sad, so sad
Feeling weightless yet so goddamn heavy
I can not make up my mind
I can not make up my mind
Bleeding slowly yet so goddamn fast
How can I bring them back?
How can I bring them back?
And I only wish I could bring back the time
So I could make things right
And savor the good times just one last time
And say goodbye

Dark days, they eclipse my self-worth
They raised me to be worried
To never trust in the outcome
To be afraid of what's coming
To never trust my instincts
Living in a fake tranquility
To ignore what was in front of my very eyes
Even though what I longed for was in front of me
To ignore my sight
To always be the same
From an agonizing birth
I was thrown into the flames
To see the world burn
Alongside my very skin
I chose everything under the assumption of failure
Constantly growing worried about destroying the evidence
Never reaching a silver lining on this
That's how they raised me
From an agonizing birth
I was thrown into the flames
To see the world burn
Alongside my very skin
Yet as I'm burning down
I hold on to my faith
Because I know there's something more
Something beyond what I know
I'm sick and tired of all this bullshit
I will destroy the human I am
To be reborn and change
I'll take control, oh I'll take control
Of my destiny
Cause I deserve so much more than this
And I always did
From an agonizing birth
I was thrown into the flames
To see the world burn
Alongside my very skin
Yet as I'm burning down
I hold on to my faith
Because I know there's something more
Something beyond what I know

You claim to be supreme
Immortal, unbreakable
You take pride in the punishment of others
You rejoice in the suffering of the weak
But you should be afraid of the fueling rage
For the weak will resist and therefore aim right for the kill
Then you'll be this weak, worthless thing
You claim to be supreme
Immortal, unbreakable
But you will end up beneath us
Your tyranny will find no redemption

Fade, fade away
It's all I ever wanted but
No, oh no
I guess it's too much to ask for and
This feeling
Unrelenting fear
These noises
Are all I hear
This feeling
Unrelenting fear
These noises
Are all I hear
I'm trying my hardest to keep up
But the weight is crushing me
And this pain is all I feel
And no matter how I try
I can't justify
This feeling inside
And no matter how I try
I can't seem to hide
Is it too late to fight?
Will I ever be okay?
Could you please help me and stay?
I'm too weak to do this on my own
I'm too fearful to make it out alive
Could you please help me?
Could you please help me?

Wake up, this is not the end
Wake up, this doesn't need to be the end
I know I've made the wrong decisions
But just remember, no one is close to perfection
Your voice has got me wrapped around our memories
And it seems that you're taking my breath just for fun
Just for fun
So if you want to blame me
I'll be the one to face the flames
I'll be the one to stop the rain
With my own two hands
Words were spoken
I will be the one that I was supposed to be
All I needed
Was a little time for me
To think for myself
To breathe for myself
A little less company
A little less of the world
But not of you
But not of you
If actions
Speak louder than words
Then here I am
Then here I am
If actions
Speak louder than words
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
I'm existing
Not living 'cause I'm
Without you
Without you
I took
Time for granted
And now I'm paying the price
Paying the price
Look at the clouds upon the horizon
There's your name written in the stars
We'll vanquish the night
We'll tame the fire
As long as you stay with me
But just remember
This is not the end
We have all the time in the world
Just don't go

Oh father help me
Can you hear my cry?
Don't you know?
I'm scared to die
Oh father hear me
This world doesn't
Seem to fit
For a mess like me
Sinking down into my pain
I will never find peace
Sinking down into my fears
There's no escape
There's no escaping now
Broke my heart
Spit on it too
Nothing makes sense
Now that you're gone
Can you feel the gravity?
This crooked heart
This crooked soul
It's dying for you
Come back now
Come back now
It hurts to live
Missing the sound of your feet on the floor
It hurts to know
That I'll never know if I'll make you proud
It hurts to see
Mother is crying your name
It hurts
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone

Chapter IV: Amapola

These lonely eyes
Moving so slow
They can't deny
Dancing with the flow
As the weight
Pulls me down
The force you hold
Like gravity
Blossom with the wind
As they raise her to her feet
Let the colours shine bright
When everybody's feeling at home
But there's no place for me
At least not in here
Motionless yet always in movement
I am sinking in this moment
This garden wasn't meant for me
This pull you hold on me
It won't set me free
This garden wasn't meant for me
It gets shallow every second
When it gets deep for them all
Blossom with the wind
As they raise her to her feet
Let the colours shine bright
When everybody's feeling at home
But there's no place for me
At least not in here
Motionless yet always in movement
I am sinking in this moment
Blossom with the wind
As they raise her to her feet
Let the colours shine bright
When everybody's feeling at home
But there's no place for me
At least not in here
Motionless yet always in movement
I am sinking in this moment
Blossom with the wind
As they raise her to her feet
Let the colours shine bright
When everybody's feeling at home
But there's no place for me
At least not in here
Motionless yet always in movement
I am sinking in this moment
Blossom with the wind
As they raise her to her feet
Motionless yet always in movement
I am sinking in this moment
Blossom with the wind
As they raise her to her feet
Motionless yet always in movement
I am sinking in this moment

Looking back into my past
I haven't found reasons why
I may have lost my path
I may have lost my path
Yet in the end here I'm found
Hardly even holding ground
Haunted by the fear, haunted by the pain
Haunted by the fear, haunted by the pain
This unrelenting fear
Consistent thoughts begin
This bed isn't warm as it used to be
Restlessly trying to understand
This overwhelming feeling I can't comprehend
Endlessly trying to hideaway
From all this darkness that's onto me
Why do I feel like I'm sinking if my feet are on solid ground?
The pressure brings me down, afraid of what's around
Can numbness save me from feeling the pain?
Can numbness save me from feeling the pain?
Looking back into my past
I haven't found reasons why
I may have lost my path
I may have lost my path
Yet in the end here I'm found
Hardly even holding ground
Haunted by the fear, haunted by the pain
Haunted by the fear, haunted by the pain
Falling into such frightening darkness
I am not strong enough
For every time I doubt myself
The blue beneath my feet turns into black
And it's getting harder
To breathe
The waves
They hit like clockwork
Why do I feel like I'm sinking if my feet are on solid ground?
The pressure brings me down, afraid of what's around
Can numbness save me from feeling the pain?
Tear my eyes out of my face so that I can't witness the end

Tear my eyes out of my face so that I can't witness the end
I just want to shut down the voices
I can not take a stand with these noises
Restlessly trying to understand
This overwhelming feeling I can't comprehend
Endlessly trying to hideaway
From all this darkness that's onto me
How can I fight myself?
Why do I feel like I'm sinking if my feet are on solid ground?
I took control right before it killed me
Heartless one, thy heart... let it perish, for you'll be gifted with a new one. Cease thy tussle, for in slaying the old man you'll find peace. End thy duality, and thou shall be reborn unbreakable and thou will assemble a Covenant for the end of days. This I have sworn, I pray my words have not fallen unpon deaf ears. May the sun guide thee.
This feeling
Unrelenting fear
These noises
Are all I hear
You loathsome slug
You made me fear these walls
I'm fucking torn
Forevermore
No
I crave for the challenge that lies ahead
I'm unbreakable
Painless, relentless
I left behind the old man
Deep down nowhere to be found
I saved myself
I'm coming home
Heartless, eternal
Guided by the sun
Heartless one... May the sun guide thee.

Covenant

Live thy life as thou seest fit
I left behind the old man
Deep down, nowhere to be found
Cut all the ties, severed myself
From what I thought was set in stone
I pity those too weak to take the leap
And challenge their ideologies
Night after night with no sleep
I took control right before it killed me
You can save yourself
You need no one else
Open your eyes to a new point of view
Open your eyes and you'll find the truth
Immortal eyes
Inwards into the worlds of thought
Where you behold your heart’s desire as ripe grain
White already to harvest
You can save yourself
You need no one else
Open your eyes to a new point of view
Open your eyes and you'll find the truth
Join us, you can save yourself
Join us, you need no one else
For consciousness is reality
Will you save yourself or condemn yourself?
There's only you
There's no one else
Close your eyes and be still
And know that I am that I am
There's only you
There's no one else
Close your eyes and be still
And know that I am that I am
You can save yourself
You need no one else
Open your eyes to a new point of view
Open your eyes and you'll find the truth
Join us, you can save yourself
Join us, you need no one else
For consciousness is reality
Will you save yourself or condemn yourself?
I pity those too weak to take the leap
And challenge their ideologies
Night after night with no sleep
I took control right before it killed me

Unbreakable
04:44

It dawns upon me, I'm unbreakable
Far too quiet on this broken land
I crave for the challenge that lies ahead
Born to be used and abused
A nightmare's end, rewrite my history
I left behind the old man
Deep down, nowhere to be found
The breeze, it blows, so cold
Wandering in places nobody knows
Then it goes to show, I'm unbreakable
For this trial awoken the will to carry on
Painless, relentless
I buried the past
There are no footprints in the sand
Far too quiet on this broken land
I crave for the challenge that lies ahead
This fire, black cinders on my hand
Collecting scars like souvenirs
It once wounded me, but now I'm free
I may be but small but I will die a colossus
Painless, relentless
I buried the past
There are no footprints in the sand
I've killed the shade of my skin
Reborn and renewed
To look back I refuse
Rock bottom, neck deep in pain I once lived
Bones that used to be broken, but now they're made of steel
This trial awoken the will to carry on
And a new chance to move on
A so-called fall from grace
Now it dawns upon me, I'm unbreakable
Painless, relentless
I buried the past
There are no footprints in the sand
I've killed the shade of my skin
Reborn and renewed
To look back I refuse
I'm unbreakable

I'm too weak to do this on my own
I'm too fearful to make it out alive
Alive
Could you please help me?
Me?
