Becoming the lotus
Becoming the lotus
On my way to the sun
Driving my metamorphosis
Seeking safety but I cannot control this fear
Is what I was fed with
My mind on the edge always ready to
Letting go
Of everything I used to know
Cause I will give it all for you
Letting go
Of everything I used to know
Cause I will give it all for you
Becoming the Lotus
Controlled by others disbeliefs
I tried to sprout but the roots won’t go deep
Leaving everything behind
That’s putting weight onto my mind
Words like bullets keep on chasing me
Putting down holy ground
Only to make them see
That I’m worthy all by myself
Nothing can hurt me
Letting go
Of everything I used to know
Cause I will give it all for you
Dodging bullets to stay alive
Growing pedals for my disguise
Dodging bullets to stay alive
Growing to the sun to find my paradise
Close your eyes
Trapped inside
The eye of the hurricane
Drawn from my mind
Under my shadows we hide
Gripping the vines
Trusting me blind
Giving up on the fight
Leave it behind
I’m Letting go
Of everything I used to know
Cause I will give it all for you
Dodging bullets to stay alive
Growing pedals for my disguise
Dodging bullets to stay alive
Growing to the sun to find my paradise
Letting go
Of everything I used to know
Cause I will give it all for you
Dodging bullets to stay alive
Growing pedals for my disguise
Dodging bullets to stay alive
Growing to the sun to find my paradise

Chasing my fate into the unknown
All I know is all that I want is going to slow
My self doubts
Feel so drawn out
Knock myself out
Cause who would believe in me
I would die today
Call me crazy
But I’d give everything away
Always pushing to the edge been
Treading water in my mind
keep running my whole goddamn life
Go crazy
Yeah I‘d give everything
I ‘d give everything
Running
From a better version of myself
Another turning point
Another choice
What my heart desires is to feed the fire
Watch it burning higher
Burn burn burn
Chasing my fate into the unknown
All I know is all that I want is going to slow
My self doubts
Feel so drawn out
Knock myself out
Yeah I’m going
Crazy
But I‘d give everything away
Always pushing to the edge been
Treading water in my mind
keep running my whole goddamn life
Go crazy
Yeah I‘d give everything
What my heart desires is to feed the fire
Watch it burn
Always pushing it straight to the edge
Another choice
Another turning point
Another choice
What my heart desires is to feed the fire
Watch it burning higher
Call me crazy
But I‘d give everything away
Always pushing to the edge been
Treading water in my mind
keep running my whole goddamn life
Go crazy
Yeah I‘d give everything
Keep on running

Memories are chasing through my head
Every time I reach out it hurts so bad
Would you be the light guide me through the storm
Shine so bright till you bring us home
Remember me when it‘s too dark to see
Drop it
These endless walls so hard to climb
It tears the strength out of my mind
I‘m lost inside these memories
They leave me caged behind bars made of broken dreams
Someday I will defeat the fear
Redemption’s near
Memories are chasing through my head
Every time I reach out it hurts so bad
Would you be the light guide me through the storm
Shine so bright till you bring us home
Remember me when it’s too dark to see
Facing the unknown
Now it‘s time to see what lies behind
Long outgrown
There is much buried beneath
Tearing up my nails to dig deep
Oh when it gets the better of me
Memories are chasing through my head
Every time I reach out it hurts so bad
Would you be the light guide me through the storm
Shine so bright till you bring us home
Remember me when it‘s too dark to
Pitch black thoughts still taking me back
Hiding deep in the back of my head
Pitch black thoughts still taking me back
Are you the voice in the back of my head?
Cause when the Light is fading
Fading away
Nothing to save us
From this decay
So hold onto it
Before it‘s too late
Memories are chasing through my head
Every time I reach out it hurts so bad
Would you be the light guide me through the storm
Shine so bright till you bring us home
Remember me when it‘s too dark to see
When it‘s too dark to see
Remember me when it’s too dark to see

Waking up surrounded
By your ghosts
I’m haunted
No way out
Will I ever escape you calling my name
So cold and desperate
Trying to run but it’s hopeless
No escape insight but I won’t give in
No I won’t give in
Running and running
The fear never ends
Chased by your demons they never relent
Sometimes I think it’s just all in my head
Am I safe now? Reality pulls back
Killing me with no hesitation
I feel the shivers on my neck yeah
Will I ever find salvation
You stabbed me in my back
The room starts to shatter
Just ashes to breath
See me fall through the darkness
Waves of debris
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Trying to slip oft he edge of your knife
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The look in your eyes, they’re filled with lust
Come on let’s do it bring it to an end
Your breath so cold like the knife in your hand
My fears come to life sing the song oft he knife
Killing me with no hesitation
I feel the shivers on my neck yeah
Will I ever find salvation
You stabbed me in my
Killing me with no hesitation
I feel the shivers on my neck yeah
Will I ever find salvation
You stabbed me in my back

Deaf
The silence of the night
I’m going under
Pitch black
Do I believe a lie?
In a world so unclear
So tell me is there meaning
To this journey
Struggling to turn back
And leave it all behind
Will I ever live for the moment
Believe all the omens
Trusting blind
I’m feeling so defeated
Look me in the eyes
Tell me that we’re still not dead inside
Tell what keeps you breathing
What keeps you alive
Fight the good fight
Fight the good fight
Live’s a canvas
We paint with every choice
A symphony of moments
Scream your lungs out
Scream scream
Scream your lungs out
Scream scream
So tell me is there meaning
To this journey
Struggling to turn back
And leave it all behind
Will I ever live for the moment
Believe all the omens
Trusting blind
I’m feeling so defeated
Look me in the eyes
Tell me that we’re still not dead inside
Tell what keeps you breathing
What keeps you alive
Fight the good fight
You’re shining from the inside
Your silhouette brings all my broken spirits back to life
You’re shining from the inside
I bath in your light
I’m feeling so defeated
Look me in the eyes
Tell me that we’re still not dead inside
Tell what keeps you breathing
What keeps you alive
Fight the good fight

So let’s begin with the simple word
Forgiveness
Say who’s to blame when we’re drowning slow
In our mess
I can’t believe that we’re stuck at this goddamn point
It’s time to bury the egos
To stay alive
Under burning skies
Feel the light within your eyes
It’s there I know
But your soul’s still in disguise
Just let it go
As we follow the path to hell
My vision changes and I ask myself
What has gone wrong with you and me?
As the earth is falling downwards
Through the never ending sky
I know we’re still alive
As we watch the sky burn
I can’t believe that this is
The life we chose to live right now
Is there a way to end it
can we end this shit somehow?
our time is running out
feels like we’re staring down
this abyss we digged us
till we’re in the ground
cause I’m dying to live
As the earth is falling downwards
Through the never ending sky
I know that
We need something to remind us
That we’re here and still alive today
We’re dead inside
Buried alive
We’re dead inside
See us choke on our pride
We’re fucking dead inside
Buried alive
You’re just another drop in the river of life
Push it back
Cause I’m dying to live
As the earth is falling downwards
Through the never ending sky
I know that
We need something to remind us
That we’re here and still alive today
Alive today
We need something to remind us
That we’re here and still alive today
We’re dead inside
Buried alive
We’re dead inside
Just auralize
We’re fucking dead inside
Buried alive
You’re just another drop in the river of life
Live today
Live today

Craving the peak
While we all fall apart
Too bright to see
Oh we knew it from the start
Can’t find yourself
Or anyone else
We drown in the noise and
Keep breathing our poison
We shoot for the stars
Still play pretend
In this endless labyrinth
How will this end
Where are you safe from your sins
Can’t find yourself
Or anyone else
We drown in the noise and
Keep breathing our poison
Watch us overdose
Watch us loose control
Yeah we burn it all
We shoot for the stars
As we fall apart
Watch us overdose
Watch us loose control
Yeah we burn it all
We shoot fort he stars
As we fall apart
Overdose
You know that I’d be lying
If I tell you I’m not sick
These habits I’ve gained dig my abyss
I’m trying
To breath in but my lungs aching bad
Force myself to resist
We shoot for the stars
Watch us overdose
Watch us loose control
Yeah we burn it all
We shoot for the stars
As we fall apart
Overdose
Come on let me
Come on let me go
Come on let me
Come on let me go
Come on let me
Come on let me
Shoot
Shoot for the stars
Getting way to close to the edge
I breath in but my lungs
Force myself to resist
Force myself to resist
Watch us overdose
Watch us loose control
Yeah we burn it all
We shoot for the stars
As we fall apart
Watch us overdose
Watch us loose control
Yeah we burn it all
We shoot for the stars
As we fall apart
Overdose
Yeah we burn it all
We shoot for the stars
As we fall apart
Overdose
We shoot for the stars

Open your goddamn eyes and tell me can’t you see?
The time we’re wasting here, creating chaos
We all were told that this is Life
But now the time has come
To switch it up
And break the Habit
Too many endless nights
Not knowing wrong from right
The bomb is ticking so we
got to live right now
I do not even care
What you‘re telling bout me
I’m standing here unbared
So don’t you hesitate
Obey your own thoughts
What you think is true
Is nothing more than Illusion
So what do you choose?
Either die or you die alive
Go on loose your disguise
Feel it all
Forget all of your sins
Go
Cause we all are free
When my bones turn to stone
I’ll remember the life I owned
No regrets
Just tales to tell
In darkest times
Guide me
Right where we belong
Out of the dark to make it better
What are you hiding from
We’re all just
Right where we belong
Out of the dark to make it better
Forget all your sins
We’re all just freaks
Here is your final remedy
To wake up and live your greatest dreams
I do not even care
I’m standing here unbared
The judgement makes me sick
Look at your own ways
Aren’t we all just freaks?
Deep in fucking side
Right where we belong
Out oft he dark to make it better
What are you hiding from
We’re all just
Right where we belong
Out oft he dark to make it better
Forget all your sins
We’re all just freaks
Demist your vision!
