1. PURPOSE

Rise above
Rise from the ashes
Recovery path from a destructive fashion
Find an anchor in the ocean
Turn this wheel back in motion
I feel real guilt in neglecting
What truly mattered to me
I've built this shield into my skin
But it only spread the disease
I threw away my aspirations
I chose to be patient
As I dozed off
Into a caged nation in my head
They say all we wanna do is thrive
But we'd rather lay dead than live to survive
So go an find your purpose
Because in the end it'll all be worth it


2. REBIRTH//REDEMPTION

Give it all you've got
Don't drown in your own sorrows
Life will shoot you down
But you must move forwards
Open the book
Turn the page to chapter one
An endless space journey to the center of the sun
A reason to go on
A circus presentation
This is our demonstration
Of endless motivation
Sometimes this may all feel like one big war
With your stomach weak and your head sore
When the sins of your past
Pave the road to your future
Every regret is keeping you alive
You're not a scar
You're nothing less than a shining star
A glowing vibrance
Only seen from afar
Take a stand
Make amends
Take a chance
And stay true to yourself
Make them remember your name
Trying to bury the past
May seem impossible
Carry this burden around with you because
A boy who won't stand up for himself
Becomes a man who won't stand up for anything
So come on give it all you've got
Don't drown in your own sorrows
Life will shoot you down
But you must move forwards
A reason to go on
A circus presentation
This is our demonstration
Of endless motivation


3. WELL CONNECTED CHARACTERS

Isn't it funny how we all feel so lonely
When we all know what it is like to feel falling
If we realize we're in this together
There will be more paths that will lead us to shelter
(Yeah) So we gladly shut our fragile eyes
Blindfold ourselves sink in denial
Quit thinking you've got it worse than everybody around you
Of course you don't have a clue
Let me tell you a story
About all these filthy creatures
Who'll be real fucking sorry for themselves
Isn't it funny how we all feel so lonely
When we all know what it is like to feel falling
If we realize we're in this together
There will be more paths that will lead us to shelter

5. SHIMMER

I repaint my pain as a beautiful sunrise
All my fright disappears into light
The divide I once felt between my body and head is no longer empty void
In the darkness meeting my creator
As a matter of fact
Better sooner than later

8. MERCURY (feat. Mike Tompa)

I am who I am but who am I?
Forever stuck evaluating the xenomorph that hides inside
Me versus him as if some sort of a bad dream
In mind over matter games avoiding climbing the latter of snakes
Experimenting with pym particles
Time and time again I stumble and fall
Lost at sea
Constant search for what's lurking inside of me
The devil on my shoulder, his heart is getting colder
Brings me out to fields of broken hopes and shattered dreams.
My vices have such a hold on me
I can't help but to sink into this feeling
That I have come so far to leave with nothing at all
I've gone so numb
I hate what I've become
My heart's wide open but my conscience ain't clear
I'm losing sight of everything that's dear to me
My conscience ain't clear
I'm losing sight of everything that's dear to me
My conscience ain't clear
I always feel like I am guided by my fears
An endless pursuit to be all that I can
And all that I ever could be
To be all that I can and all that I am
