Track Name: Akimba
Dream of black holes
Like no one knows
Drowning in shards
That break the mark

Is this what you want?
Is this what you want?
Is this what you want?

So wide awake
Neurons in place
Firing in sparks
Then drift apart

Is this what you want?
Is this what you want?
Is this what you want?

Cause we’re going to change
One god damned day
Track Name: Grow
I just want to know the reasons why
I just want to live like I can fly
I just want to feel the fire burn
Live with no regrets and no returns

Grow

I just want to understand the rhyme
The reason why this life just slips us by
I just want to face the day and see
Everything that is in store for me
Track Name: Brittle
I see you
And I feel you
I touch you
And I reach you

I’m falling through
a broken noose
When I find the truth
It’s because of you

Are we Brittle?

As the sun goes down
And the oceans drown
In your tears of joy
I walk proud

Just to see you tall
Standing over us all
So easy to fall
But not so easy to crawl
Track Name: Enlightened
I can feel your winter
crawling through me
taking me away
from what I want to be
I can see your horizon
chase me in my dreams
I want to walk to away
but now I can see

I can see

You tell me you can see
so enlighten me
you tell me you can feel
so enlighten me
you tell me you can be
so enlighten me
so enlighten me

You flicker like a candle
dying in the breeze
waiting for someone
to pull you from your knees
I can feel the silence
Fading by degrees
the tears you cry are painted
and now I can see
Track Name: Fade Away
I see your face
Like a beacon
you walk away
Through a dream of shapes

I watch you fade away
I watch you fade away

Hand in hand
through the sand
One more tear to cry
Then we say goodbye

The day is finally coming
When we can see this through
The light drips from your iris
And through the autumn dew
They took away your bridle
and left you to bear fruit
Track Name: Omega
When you say it’s over
It’s not really over
I’m alpha omega
Now you will discover

We are Omega
We are Omega

Why is it so easy
to see what is needed
We are all each other
Sisters and brothers

We are Omega
We are Omega

When you say it’s over
It’s not really over
From the ape to man
What comes next I am
Track Name: S.O.D.
S.O.D

I can see so easily through you
Wander what it’s like to be so shrewd
When you say it’s common sense
don’t mistake your arrogance
Cause in the end who’s laughing too

No
You don’t know the real reason why
This is just your chosen reply
you are not the only unkind
This is just the season of denial

How did all this pressure get to you?
Was it from the past or something new?
I can see your ignorance
Is in everything they said
Anyway I guess it’s nothing new

Now I can see
What you mean
Track Name: Desert
There’s a place inside the opening
A place that no one sees
There’s a cloud that hangs right over it
An oasis in the breeze

And it shines
On it

There’s a clock that’s ticking endlessly
And an hourglass that is broken
In this place that no one notices
There’s a cloud that’s always there

And it shines
On it

Why did you leave it alone?
Alone out here
In the desert waste
Is this only place for us?
And as the time draws near
We all disappear
Was it our mistake?
To be in this place alone?

Time is ticking
Sand is filling
The hourglass
And it cannot last

So leave it alone
Track Name: Timeless
Can
You
feel
It calling
Can
You see
That time
is all things

Time is all things

Now
You
see
The lion
Can
You feel
Time is all things

Time is all things

Now I can finally see
What it is we're meant to be
The poison wrapped around us all
What it is nobody knows
In our deepest hearts desires
We all yearn to feel the fire
Track Name: Stasis
I can see them burning
I can hear them screaming

I can see
The beginning
But we are in stasis

We are deep beneath the ocean
And we can’t fly
Because we’re drowning

I can see
The beginning
But we are in stasis
Track Name: Endless
I can feel a change in me
Swilling round like an inner sea
Time it wraps itself around me
Enveloping my everything
It’s going to rain today
Things will never be the same

I can see the oceans adrift
Fading slowly in the mist
Once the path is set and agreed
Close your eyes and it will begin
It’s going to rain today
Now it’s time to go home

I can feel a change in me
I can feel it as it breathes
I can feel it beckoning
It’s the end or the beginning

There’s an echo of you on the breeze
Wafting through the autumn leaves
It’s a place I sometimes see
A trace of something in me
And it’s going to rain

It is never ending
Track Name: Taller than God(bonus track)
As I was driving my way to your home
I'm in a river of people and constantly drifting to places unknown
Accelerating, thoughts of you
Remember the skin, breathing the fumes
As I was driving my way to your home...

I don't believe that Heaven
waits above the sky
I don't believe, but maybe
it's in the room with you disguised.
with sheets, fall patterns, books all stacked away
you're my savior when you look at me that way...
'cuz you're taller than God.

Counting the steps that lead to your door.
Seventeen days... can't wait any more
taste your shadow, feel you move
breathe your name 'cuz you haunt the room
Countint the steps that lead to your door...

I don't believe that Heaven
waits above the sky
I don't believe, but maybe
it's in the room with you disguised
with sheets, fall patterns, books all stacked away
you're my savior when you look at me that way.
Cuz you're taller than God.

You're my savior when you look at me that way
Cuz you're taller than God. (x2)

As I was driving my way to your home...

Cuz you're taller than God...

I don't believe in Heaven...
