When you close your eyes, do you wish for more? Can you tell what’s missing, catch a spark from fire? Are you chasing your dreams or are they chasing you? Would you make them real? You buried them long ago I’m burning inside, ready to set the world on fire Will you stand here, watch me break through the walls above us? I’ll give it all when surviving is not enough Will you stand up, help me break through the walls above us? We’ll never die, still we can burn bright When you see the mountain, are you too afraid to climb? Can you find a second wing, watch our world from higher? When nothing is good enough, how easily can you draw the line? Are you the one who gives up or someone who can let go? We’ve been told to keep our eyes down We’ll never wear the crown We’ll never comply now that we’ve seen the prize We’ve made the choice to rise Are you driving your life or do you let them drive you? When someone cuts you down, can you throw it away?

Walking in this city in the cold rainy night Wandering in an alley, looking for a game to play I need to break away from this negativity Deep inside of me I know I can’t stay Suddenly I saw it purring in the cold night Metal beast on idle a bright light in the dark You were just waiting for me to put my hands on the wheel You whisper in my ear ‘’Take me away from here!’’ (Drive) I’m stealing you away (Away) From the boredom of this city (Let’s play) Zero to sixty, I’m aiming for the highway (Ride) With no strings attached (Away) We’ll break the distance (With me) We can take a chance it’s time to run away The wind blows in my hair, I keep a smile on my face I would get lost anywhere without a trace I can feel the energy rushing all over me I’ll escape reality on the road to infinity Are you ready for a journey? All I need now is a change of scenery Let’s be runaways, let’s get astray No fear, no fright, spread your wings, baby!

Follow me where I belong at the break of a new day I’ve been waiting for the dawn to show you the place I’ll stay Where the warmth of the sun rays breathes life to forsaken dreams In the silence of the sky when you come, will you find me? When all is tumbling down Sometimes I need to see the light Forget about the things I’ve done Somehow I need to know we’ll fight When all is tumbling down I traded my trust for fear, a cage of my own design Cast chains of apathy in the flames of my mind Can I find the key to this or will I have to wait again? In the silence of the sky when you come, will you find me? When all is tumbling down

In the shadows of nowhere, not trying to find a way Take these streets like they were mine, I’m being led astray You’re long gone but in my head you still remain Time keeps passing by as I walk, staring at the sea Time keeps slipping by as my world is coming down (I close my eyes to slow my mind) So I can’t see the signs (I rest my soul ‘til I unwind) I won’t go down this time (I keep walking, peaceful and blind) Forget the life we’ve lead (I close my eyes to survive) It’s all inside my head The light electrifies the air, the wind blows in my face And I keep watching my steps as I’m trying to find my space I can’t tell why I feel relieved to be alone Time keeps slipping by as my world is falling down I should stay strong and cover my tracks But I’m too jaded to face their attacks I wish you were still by my side But there’s no way, no way to bring you back

Awaken 04:05
I feel so numb, I just want to forget The scars on my skin and the strings of my shame My heart is filled with regrets I need to find myself again Swallowed my fears for all these years I can’t hold back my breath anymore Sense in my mind, my doubts confined Waking my heart to feel alive For myself For my soul The more I learn, the less I know I think I’ve just found my worst foe I cannot trust the voice in my head It drives me to the edge My wounds kept under my skin Washed away from my sins Can’t turn back, nowhere to hide Just give me back my pride
