1. VULTURES WITH CLIPPED WINGS

This is an end, so I'm starting again to return to form

I never found peace, but now I'm fighting a war

All the vicious and greedy left me blind and confused
My illusions so grand but my reality skewed

I tried to be what they wanted, a hollowed cut puppet
Lying to myself to carry on like I loved it
They use my effort to feed
They sleep while I bleed

I've caught every vulture
I've clipped every wing
I've caught every vulture

Starve, you won't feed on these dreams again

This is an end, so I'm starting again to return to form, return to form
This is an end, so I'm starting again, reborn

I never found peace, but now I'm fighting a war
now I'm fighting a war

All the vicious and greedy, their collapse was deserved
With delusions so grand, this is what they have earned


2. COLD LIKE WAR

War, war

Divided doubt, grown to separate
Our weathered hearts search for home again
Too afraid to take those uncertain steps
But two years ago we were stronger then
Yeah, two years ago we were stronger then
(Yeah, two years ago we were stronger)
When we dove head first, we were so alive
Risking everything trying to change lives
Now, my red eyes filled with shallow compromise
Ripping tickets, split commitment, future undefined

I never wanted to watch us fight like war
And turn away from each other
We had to stop and surrender to restore
And find a way to recover
Losing all we should have been
Consequences made in this
Failure on to feel again, feel again

Blacked out, misguided rage, grown to separate
Our hardened hearts from our resentful brains
No way to see how far down you'll land
When the fall you take wasn't part of your plan

(Cold)
Doomed if you do
(Like)
Disowned if you don't
(War)
No way out for any one of us
(Cold)
Doomed if you do
(Like)
Disowned if you don't
(War)
No way out for any one of us

I never wanted to watch us fight like war
And turn away from each other
We had to stop and surrender to restore
And find a way to recover
Losing all we should have been
Consequences made in this
Failure on to feel again, feel again

(Cold like war)
(Cold like war)

I bit my tongue, let the blood fill my mouth
I just smiled while I sat there and bled out
But, through this I found out where I stand
I will never betray me again
(Cold like war)
Cold like war
(Cold like war)

I never wanted to watch us fight like war
And turn away from each other
We had to stop and surrender to restore
And find a way to recover
Losing all we should have been
Consequences made in this
Failure on to feel again, feel again


3. TWO HANDS

To say I'm losing sleep is to assume I ever slept
Taking every comfort from me, leaving stones under my back
With a tongue that burns like yours and still a voice so bitter cold
Now I know, yeah now I know

I'm not OK but you're not the better half of me
I'm not OK but you're not the better half of me
I'm not OK but you're not the better half of me
I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe
Now I can breathe in, now I can breathe in

To say I'm losing sleep is to assume I ever slept
Taking every comfort from me, leaving heavy stones under my back
With a tongue that burns like yours and still a voice so bitter cold
Now I know, yeah now I know

I can breathe in, I can breathe in

I wish it was harder to watch you leave
The time that we spent never bought a thing
I can breathe in and finally let you go
I can breathe in and finally let you go

(I was trying, I was trying)
I was trying to breathe underwater
Just like two hands that can't hold each other
I was trying to breathe underwater
Like two hands that can't hold each other
So now your tide crashes harder
Surrounding my neck like a noose
It feels so much better to give up when you accept that you have nothing left to lose

I'm not OK but you're not the better half of me
I'm not OK but you're not the better half of me
I'm not OK but you're not the better half of me
I can breathe, I can breathe, I can breathe
Now I can breathe in, now I can breathe in

I wish it was harder to watch you leave
The time that we spent never bought a thing
I can breathe in and finally let you go
I can breathe in and finally let you go
I can breathe in and finally let you go
I can breathe in and finally let you go


4. LOST IN THE MOMENT

Am I drifting through existence?
Is my life just passing by?
With the ever-growing distance, am I leaving me behind?
Like a part of my past trapped in the hourglass that will never break.
Will I breathe again and let the colors in, surrounding me?

I wanna live lost in the moment with my eyes wide, breathing new life.
I wanna let go of the burden, with my eyes wide for the first time.
Seeing time flying by, it wont stop 'cause today's all we got to lean on.
I want to live lost in the moment.

We've been drifting through existence 'cause we're trapped behind our eyes.
We're to blame for our indifference when nobody questions why.
Like a part of my past trapped in the hourglass that will never break.
Stuck in black and white, drowned in old headlines that nobody will read.

I wanna live lost in the moment with my eyes wide, breathing new life.
I wanna let go of the burden, with my eyes wide for the first time.
Seeing time flying by, it wont stop 'cause today's all we got to lean on.
I want to live lost in the moment.

I won't be caught in the hands of time.
I won't be caught in the hands of time.

I wanna live lost in the moment, lost in the moment.
I wanna live lost in the moment.

I wanna live lost in the moment, with my eyes wide, breathing new life.
I wanna let go of the burden, with my eyes wide for the first time.
Seeing time flying by, it wont stop 'cause today's all we got to lean on.
I want to live lost in the moment.

Lost in the moment today.
Lost in the moment today.
I won't be caught in the hands of time.
I won't be caught in the hands of time.


5. FOREIGN FIRE

Every year goes by
Never ending change and I start to miss the ones I've kept the closest to me
(Their names spoken now in memory)
I've always tried to carry my words without deceptive cause but clear objective
I've shed the youth I lived in

My head feels so heavy my heart follows suit
Is this what I wanted to turn into?
You don't have to stay
And wonder who I've become
I'm the story of the one you used to love
I'm the story of the one you used to love

Every time that I never seem to answer why I'm ignoring all the calls from home to be alone
A foreign voice or dial tone?
I'm ignoring all the calls from home to be alone
A foreign voice or dial tone?

My head feels so heavy, my heart follows suit
Is this what I wanted to turn into?
You don't have to stay
And wonder who I've become
(You don't have to stay, you don't have to stay)
Your eyes look so heavy, I had to concede
Is this what you wanted to prove to me?
You don't have to stay and wonder who I've become

Who have I become?
The story of the one you used to love
I'm the story of the one you used to love

I spent the morning looking down at the baggage claim
With yesterday, your hand in mine
Sitting as you laid a world away
And now the words soak into my head
That your chest has stilled
And I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again

I swear to God I tried to come back home
Be by your side, to hold you close
While the sorrow spread to divide us both
I swear to God I tried, I swear to God I tried

I'm the story of the one you used to love
(I didn't want this)
I'm the story of the one you used to love
(I didn't want this)

I swear to God I tried to come back home
Be by your side, to hold you close
While the sorrow spread to divide us both
I swear to God I tried, I swear to God I tried
I tried


6. WASTED AGE

You got me thinking it's over, so hear me out

That look you have says it all without a single word
Years of calling out but not a thing was heard
We're holding on because it's all we know
We're just holding on to say we didn't let go

Go on and say it
We've known for so long that this was over
I need to hear it
Your silence is the sound of closure
Hear me out

You're telling me right now
You're scared again and now you're losing composure
You're telling me right now
You cared but you were never honest, I don't even want it
No, take away our wasted age
No, take away our wasted age

The words you said show a side of you I haven't seen
Years of looking past what was in front of me
You're just holding on cause you can't let it show
You're just holding on cause you're too proud to let go

Go on and say it
We've known for so long that this was over
You need to hear it
The sound of closure

You're telling me right now
You're scared again and now you're losing composure
You're telling me right now
You cared but you were never honest, I don't even want it
No, take away our wasted age
No, take away our wasted age

Your voice is nails on a chalkboard
The sound of closure in the discord
Your voice is nails on a chalkboard
Your voice is nails on a chalkboard

Yeah!

You're telling me right now
You're scared again and now you're losing composure
You're telling me right now
You cared but you were never honest

Are you listening now?
Can you hear the sound?

You're telling me right now
You're scared again and now you're losing composure
You're telling me right now
You cared but you were never honest, I don't even want it
No, take away our wasted age
No, take away our wasted age

You got me thinking it's over so hear me out
Your silence is the sound of closure
You got me thinking it's over so hear me out
The sound of closure


7. ENCODER

I've looked death in the eyes
And I killed my fears
I've accepted the fight, I choose to be here
I've looked death in the eyes, and she looked away
Because I fought for my place and I earned my name

Everyday is another chance to build
Any pain only feeds my will
Every doubt I've been conquering to grow
I'm back on my feet every time I fall
Every time I fall
I can't be stopped

Everyday is another chance to build
Any pain only feeds my will
Every doubt I've been conquering to grow
I'm back on my feet every time I fall
Every time I fall
I can't be stopped

I've looked death in the eyes
And I killed my fears
I've accepted the fight, I choose to be here
I've looked death in the eyes, and she looked away
Because I fought for my place and I earned my name
The only time I learn is from mistakes, there's no lessons in the praise
The only time I learn is from mistakes, there's no lessons in the praise


8. IF THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE (FT. ERIC VANLERBERGHE OF I PREVAIL)

The years I'll never forget
Good and bad all the same
Every hardship we met
And dreams we got to create
The life I've chosen is true through all the borders between
And we'll share the view even if there's nothing to see

We were so young, we were so vivid
We were so young, awake and driven
I can feel it taking over, new ambition, though I'm older
We were so young, we were so vivid

We cut the arrogance from each others lives
Keep our feet on the ground, kill the ego inside
The life we've chosen is true since we were seventeen
And we'll share the view even if there's nothing to see

And it leaves me in awe, twelve years this summer
No matter Heaven or Hell, forever my brothers
I fought my way through blinding lights to see my path again
Our vision for this world will not die when we are dead
I'll be there to share the view even if there's nothing to see


9. PROMISE ME

If you can promise me...

It's getting hard to sit here everyday
Pretend I'm still the same
With all the noise, it never goes away
How easy we're replaced

I try and try but I'm slipping
Too lost to find what I'm missing
Too paralyzed by the fear of being forgotten

I try and try but I'm slipping
Too lost to find what I'm missing
Too paralyzed by the fear of being forgotten

Will I be remembered or will I be lost in loving eyes?
Will I be remembered?
I'll hold off eternity if you can promise you'll wait
I'll hold off eternity if you can promise you'll wait
I'll hold off eternity if you can promise me...

I, feel them move my body from the scene
But my heart still beats
Lost in the shock of all that's happening
Too real to be a dream

I try and try but I'm slipping
Too lost to find what I'm missing
Too paralyzed by the fear of being forgotten

I try and try but I'm slipping
Too lost to find what I'm missing
Too paralyzed by the fear of being forgotten

Will I be remembered or will I be lost in loving eyes?
Will I be remembered?
I'll hold off eternity if you can promise you'll wait
If you can promise you'll wait

If you can promise you'll wait
If you can promise you'll wait
I'll hold off eternity if you can promise you'll wait
If you can promise you'll wait
If you can promise you'll wait
I'll hold off eternity if you can promise me...

Promise me, promise me, if you can promise me...
Promise me, promise me, if you can promise me...
Promise me, promise me, if you can promise me...
Promise me, promise me, if you can promise me...


10. LEARNING TO SURVIVE

Always trusted too much, it was all I had
I was blind to the darkness in everyone I know
Woah-oh-oh

Always looked for the good or the best intent
After years that have passed I see all the signs I missed
Woah-oh-oh

And it feels like a prison I'm living in
Did I earn all the pain in the consequence?
I'm too old to acquit, too young to convict
The weight of my pride caving in

I can feel them watching me while I'm learning to survive
Staring at my broken will that I'm too tired to hide
So many demons I can't escape, burning my bridges to light the way
I can feel them watching me but I'll make it out alive
I'm learning to survive

Here I am wide awake, no I'm not dead yet
And I'm not confused as I was back then

And it feels like a prison I'm living in
Did I earn all the pain in the consequence?
I'm too old to acquit, too young to convict
(I'm too old to acquit, too young to convict)
The weight of my pride caving in
(The weight of my pride caving in)

I can feel them watching me while I'm learning to survive
Staring at my broken will that I'm too tired to hide
So many demons I can't escape, burning my bridges to light the way
I can feel them watching me but I'll make it out alive
I'm learning to survive

I'm letting go of my shame, that unbearable weight
I'm learning to survive
I'm letting go of the blame from my selfish mistakes
I'm learning to survive

With new eyes, with new eyes
It was the only way that I've forgiven me
With new eyes, with new eyes
It was the only way that I've forgiven me

I can feel them watching me while I'm learning to survive
(Learning to survive)
Staring at my broken will that I'm too tired to hide
(Too tired to hide)
So many demons I can't escape, burning my bridges to light the way
(So many demons I can't escape, burning my bridges to light the way)
I can feel them watching me but I'll make it out alive
(I'll make it out alive)
I'm learning to survive

Burning my bridges to light the way
Burning my bridges to light the way
Burning my bridges to light the way
Burning my bridges to light the way
