(Instrumental)


2. ADRIFT

Remember the time when you held your head up high
And the pride that is gone and buried inside
All that you've conquered you lost in a destructive spiral down
Now you're still drowning in your despair
Without a hope but

Have you ever tried fighting instead?
Have you ever tried raising your head?
Have you ever tried asking for help?
Have you ever tried learning again?

Break down your desperation
Break the chains that embrace you
Raise and change the direction
Find your way
It's tight here
I'm breathless

Looking inside, I am just like you
Open your eyes, come and face the truth
We're wasting a lifetime, we play and lose
Facing the future may seem a very hard task
Leaving the comfort zone in the past
Face the fact that you don't have a massive amount of time
To heal inside and clean all the mess

We can't be adrift forever
We can't be adrift forever
We can't be adrift forever
We can't be adrift forever

All that I had I
Threw away along the shore
All that will come I
Fear I cannot control
So we remain adrift
In a stagnant stream
Forever afraid of changing
So lost
Wandering so far away
So lost
Wandering so far away


3. TRUST DENIED

Oh yes, I could forgive
Against all odds
Apart from this small complication:
Forgiveness would not raise out of dust
Above all hatred
So blind I’ve been
So much I bleed for this

Trust is volatile
And it slips through a broken heart
You can't glue back the shards
Without leaving a scar
You meant so much
You eased my cries
You held my soul
When it bled from my heart
You had me in your hands
Like a precious crystal
But then you opened them and...
You let me fall
I broke in pieces
You scattered them in the wind
And scattered I flew
Through the darkest places
Until you were holding someone else
I ripped my chest
Stripped me from sanity
So much was the agony
I won’t forget
I'll never forgive
'Cause you lied and betrayed me

Oh yes, I could forgive
Against all odds
Apart from this small complication:
Forgiveness would not raise out of dust
Above all hatred
So blind I’ve been
So much I bleed for this


4. SHADES OF PERSONALITY

Could you believe
That you can be like this?
A broken mask
The true face revealed
No need to hide
Behind a character
Just the world and you
To face each other

Changing
Shades
Of personality
Trying
To delight
By choosing who to be

This day
Unveiled
Your most secret weakness
This fake and empty soul
You tried to cover
Is now shown
Could you just leave
your face uncovered?
Burning your disguise
Would not reduce you to nothing
There is no harm
In being yourself
Oh, if only you had
Your own way

Changing
Shades
Of personality
Trying
To delight
By choosing who to be

There is no use
In hiding yourself
Your disguise
Won't fool us anymore

Changing
Shades
Of personality
Trying
To delight
By choosing who to be


5. MISANTHROPY

It may seem that I’m crazy, for some
I scream my words in silence
I warm my heart in cold
Is it a crime
To crave some time for myself?
I feel comfort in space
When there's no one there
And the faces around me
Look all the same
There is no place inside me
To welcome them.

Solitude seems so peaceful
When voices only crush me
Against the floor
Let me be free
In my own misery
I'm not crumbling
Instead, I'm building my fortress
In my lonely moments
I'm hunting time
Just to find in me
A new strength
A shine of life where I’m fearless
I'm diving in my dreams
To find my inner being

There, where agony
Haunts me till death
Lies a society
Drowning in shame
Better be closed in me
Than be drowned with them

Solitude seems so peaceful
When voices only crush me
Against the floor
Let me be free
In my own misery
I'm not crumbling
Instead, I'm building my fortress
In my lonely moments
I'm hunting time
Just to find in me
A new strength
A shine of life where I’m fearless
I'm diving in my dreams
To find my inner being


6. ODYSSEY TO A CHANGE

It feels like I need to fly
Far away from here
To some place totally new to me
And burn all my debris

Sometimes I catch my breath when I wonder
Can I break the rules
And cut all the roots
I need to free myself from this world now
There’s nothing new
Under this moon

To seek a new vision, I awake, I awake
I start an odyssey to a change, to a change

Sometimes I catch my breath when I wonder
Can I break the rules
And cut all the roots
I need to free myself from this world now
There’s nothing new
Under this moon

It feels like I need to fly
Far away from here
To some place totally new to me
And burn all my debris
To seek a new vision, I awake, I awake
I start an odyssey to a change, to a change

Sometimes I catch my breath when I wonder
Can I break the rules
And cut all the roots
I need to free myself from this world now
There’s nothing new
Under this moon


7. EXPECTATIONS

Will I just find
My Paradise
Where I can heal myself?
‘Cause I
Just want to fly
And leave the waves behind

"Se houver além da Vida um paraíso,
Outro modo de ser e de viver,
Onde p’ra ser feliz seja preciso
Apenas ser;
[Onde] numa unidade dupla – sua e calma – nossa alma viva, e à flor
De nós
Nosso íntimo sentir decorra
Em outra cousa que não duração,
E nada canse porque viva ou morra – acalmaremos então?"


8. THE JOURNEY OF THE WILD MIND

As dawn falls
I break the walls
That surround all my dreams
My choice is made
This is the day
To be brave
I'll leave behind
This dark night
Clouded by my fears from troubled years
The day awakes
The promise is made
I leave today

Land, sea or sky
Some of them might
Connect me with my past
But space is so wide
And gravity
Will not stop a wild mind

Going means immortality
But not without a cost
Staying means safety
Stained by tedium
I'll leave behind
This dark night
Clouded by my fears from troubled years
The day awakes
The promise is made
I leave today

Land, sea or sky
Some of them might
Connect me with my past
But space is so wide
And gravity
Will not stop a wild mind


9. LEAVES

Don't hate me
For not feeling bound anymore
For releasing myself
From the core

Just break the bond
The wind that blows around
Is setting us free
‘Cause we're nothing but leaves that fall
And we're never
We're never going back
To the tree

Fine for me if I bring
Memories from a past life
But I don't think I need them
I don't think I miss it
How could you expect me
To keep the ghosts in my mind
And treasure all the wounds
They inflicted on me
Don't miss me
Things will never be as they were
For this time farewell comes without encore
Ghosts from the past
Never bring regret
From tree to soil
All leaves must fall
Don't hate me
For aspiring for something more
Ambition strikes my heart
But that's not wrong
Wind blew my soul
My hate is gone
There is no crime
Left to atone

Just break the bond
The wind that blows around
Is setting us free
‘Cause we're nothing but leaves that fall
And we’ll never
Forget all that we did
‘Cause there’s nothing that I miss, although
From that past live
Either tears or smiles
Leaves Just fall
The wind blows
It’s alright
It’s alright


10. CRYPHOBIA

If I could read my hand
If I could understand
Where it goes this path
I am walking
If I could realize
If I could read the stars
Would they lead me to
A new life?
Step by step I rise
But I'm blindfolded
If I could free my eyes
If I could read
The stars
That shine
On above me
No sun, no compass
To show me the north
If could read the signs
If I could see
I just got lost
In a strange land
And all the hope is leaving me
All I see Is endless white snow around me
I'm trapped with all my dreams

The fear now spreads through my veins
Calling with the sick voice of memory
It burns in all the scars from my pain
And lingers
The fear now spreads through my veins
Calling with the sick voice of memory
It crushes like the rain in my face
In Winter

If I could read my hand
If I could understand
Where it goes
This path I am walking
If I could realize
If I could read the stars
Would they lead me to
A new life
Step by step I rise
But I'm blindfolded
If I could free my eyes
If I could see


10. ARRIVAL

Long ago it seemed so unreal
I’ve never believed I
Could achieve some place like this
But now that I’ve come so far
And wiped the tears I've cried
I'm not sure if I am dead or alive
I feel swallowed by time
My hands are shaking
My body aches
As I'm embraced by light waves
Something comes up to my mind
As I leave my bubble
It's funny to look back and find
That frail creature
So adamant that
Ended up running free
Without guidelines
Welcome to the 11th dimension.
Congratulations.
Your goal was achieved.
A new enlightenment will fall upon you and you will no longer feel pain or cold or fear.

You are wiser now
This is a new concept
A new state of mind
A cradle of dreams
Forged in the hot springs of blood
That turn dark into light
