Alive 03:38
lyrics

my heart is screaming there is nothing left inside of me I have no words in my mouth I am crawling, breathless faces i used to know I don’t recognize them now we’ve built the walls around ourselves open your eyes and look at this fucking mess our dreams had gone with the last tide our blindness has enslaved us there is no fire left inside those crusts and we just want to feel alive the things we’ve loved the most have passed away and we just want to feel alive now we have to take a deep breath the question is ‘should we dive and try to rescue everything’ you just need to look back and choose your side do you want to feel alive? embrace the fate open the gate bring the flame to the last standing mainstay just hear my calls bury the walls reach for the skies and scream: ‘there is nothing left inside of me’ open your eyes now do you like what you see we forgot how beautiful our lives were we forgot how much we actually had we are losing our time on those fucking wars we are trying to prove that we are gods there is no fire left inside those crusts and we just want to feel alive the things we’ve loved the most have passed away and we just want to feel alive

Ghosts 03:47
lyrics

we’ve been paralyzed for far too long and now it’s time to wake up before we’ll end up with nothing before we’ll end up lost and alone we’ve wanted to become the titans of our times we’ve decided to reach for the stars, tried to become gods, but forgot the rules we’ve took up the challenge, control the chaos (before we'll end up with nothing) create new order (before we'll end up lost and alone) but the truth is we’ve been paralyzed for far too long and now it’s time to wake up before we’ll end up with nothing before we’ll end up lost and alone the light has faded in our hearts and we are straying through this night stumbling through ashes of our greatness stumbling through ashes of our stars can you count all our offences I think we have gone too far in this pursuit of the perfection I think we have lost our ways within our own constructions we have become one of the machines within our broken circuits we have become one of the machines we lost our light we became heartless there is a hollow inside all of us we are paralyzed our hands are tied just look at the ash we’ve left behind we are reaching the point of no return we can only watch this cruel world burn we are reaching the point of no return we can only watch this cursed world burn we’ve been paralyzed for far too long and now it’s time to wake up before we’ll end up with nothing before we’ll end up lost and alone we’ve been paralyzed for far too long and now it’s time to wake up before we’ll end up with nothing before we’ll end up lost and alone the light has faded in our hearts and we are straying through this night stumbling through ashes of our greatness stumbling through ashes of our stars the steps were made and now it’s too late to change our minds like fallen angels without wings, we won’t reach for the stars

Light // Darkness 02:49
lyrics
buy track
too afraid to open our eyes too self absorbed to see the light we get used to darkness we carry inside we are too afraid to open our hearts and if the last flame fades in our hearts the hope will die, our hope will die can you hear those screams in silence? can you see the light in darkness? can you feel the hole in your soul? can you feel your fucking heart beat? don’t follow me, because I’m blind as well I can’t see the light hidden in myself and darkness is my only friend, my only home what have I done and who have I become there is no light that will brighten the night there is no warmth that will heat our hearts the wounds we’ve made seem not to heal we’ve fallen apart, we’ve lost the way and now it's too late the darkness is slowly creeping into our lives how fucking low are we gonna collapse the hate has poisoned our souls and hearts we can’t see that our world is falling apart

Why Do We Fall 04:38
lyrics
buy track
we burnt so many bridges and closed so many doors we're telling ourselves that it is for better times, for better days we turned out not to see our own weakness we turned out not to see our own mistakes but we can’t run from them I still ask myself, 'why do we fall' is it so we can learn to pick ourselves up? I still ask myself, 'why do we fall' is it so we can learn to pick ourselves up? we were told that our sins vanished so why I can see them in myself we're like blind men stumbling in the darkness we keep ruining this world this darkness slowly eats our minds those arms are covered in blood those eyes have seen too much so many tears have crashed on the stone of our souls I still ask myself, 'why do we fall, why do we fall’ is it so we can learn to pick ourselves up? I still ask myself, 'why do we fall, why do we fall’ is it so we can learn to pick ourselves up? those eyes are dry those eyes have seen too much this darkness slowly eats our minds those arms are covered in blood those arms are covered in blood those eyes have seen too much those eyes are too dry to cry
