Wake The Dreamer 07:36
lyrics
buy track
Who are these ones that want to rule the world They've been awake for far too long Their eyes are blood shot and so is their mind They just don't know right from wrong We are being lead by the sleep deprived Hallucinate your speech The stairs to success they are slow to climb Their goals just out of reach All the stars are fading and it's looking dim Who will guide our path Even the sheep have been looking grim A new stone has to be cast We keep digging in the same pile So the outcome is the same If only we were just a little wiser We might just win the game Who who are we gonna have to shake the world It's in a deeper stagnation than we thought Who who are we gonna have to make the world Someone who just isn't or hasn't been bought There was once a girl with the power to change She didn't know it 'cuz society killed the flame But she dreamt of the things oh that she could do But logic was instilled and felt her dream were out of view Her dreams remained just that, fell in the daily grind And if she took time off, would just fall behind She just hoped and prayed to alleviate the strife But what are just hopes and prayers Without the action to change your life We've been asleep for too long, our conscious hitting snooze And what if we don't wake up, first in line to lose They try to tell us things, convince us they make sense Uncomfortable place to be is sitting on the fence Who's putting you to sleep? Who's tucking you into bed? Who's shutting off your alarm? Who wants to see you dead? They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world The dreamer's asleep And they don't realize how much they keep They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world The dreamer's asleep And you rule wars while they're counting sheep They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world The dreamer's asleep Went to bed hungry that's why they weep They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world They say don't wake the dreamer But that's what's wrong with the world

Electric Days 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Some days are dying Some days we're trying But most days we're flying I strictly mean beautiful Electric days are here again Spread the word, tell all your friends Tell ten people to tell another ten This is how we survive and win Fascinate,the great divide There's no other place to hide The light will find the dark in you Illuminate, electric too Souls live in a house of skin Attracting what we put in The universe is listening on So focus what you really want Electric days are here my friend Don't conform, let your mind bend Open up all three eyes Recognize when you're fed lies Electric days are here to stay If you're proactive and shine your rays Don't assume that someone else will do What you should also be doing too Rich turquoise, lighted maps Games ago in starlight, under the moon Mirror be upon water, casts anew Impressive waltz across the meadow's dew Glowing smile on an invisible globe Opal bubble feedback concert poem Shadow shock mystic, chopped identity

Tapping Into It 02:46
lyrics

We're closer now, then we ever were before Eyes on the prize, we're aiming for the goal You see it's not so hard unless you put up your own walls Why do you block your path then curse people when you fall If this is what you choose Don't be surprised if you lose But we're tapping into it, getting further Deeper in the ridge, pushing further We're tapping into it, pushing harder Crack the shell, release Now we're born, tapping into it We've came so far there's no turning back at all Look at all we've done to be able to be strong You see it's not so hard unless you do what people want Outrageous expectations always cause the biggest fall If this is what you do Don't be surprised when it's through But we're tapping into it, getting further Deeper in the ridge, pushing further We're tapping into it, pushing harder Find the aperture, getting closer Crack the shell, release Now we're born, tapping into it But we're tapping into it, getting further Deeper in the ridge, pushing further We're tapping into it, pushing harder Found the aperture, tear the membrane Coughing out the fluid, breathing air Cracked the shell, release Now we're born, tapping into this

If Time 00:22

If the pain is what we feel Is it mind or is it body Does it matter if we feel If we feel it doesn't matter If the joy is what's important Is it spirit, is it mind And if we shut down inner clocks Then would it buy us more time

Living Life In Nightshot 01:54
lyrics

Trapped in a world, life all alone Up ahead destiny unknown All in the dark,nothing but rot Up in your dreams you have been caught All green and blue,distorted your view 20/20 vision but nothing is new Hear my words, feel my thoughts All up in your dreams you have been caught Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot Technicolour, black and white Zoned on ultra-violet light Filming life through your eyes While you overemphasize Life as it seems appears to me Look through my lens then you will see Blood shot eyes, static brain Zombified and without pain Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot Living life in nightshot

God In The TV 02:04
lyrics

I look for god in the tv I turn on the news and what they feed me? Strangers they all like to read me Being part of the drama helps complete me I look for god in the tv, tv tv tv The media drills into my head What they want me to believe I'm just a sheep so I let them lead That's why I look for god in the tv Don't let them believe That you know the truth They'll keep feeding the lies And keep pushing the rules They're distracting you from The ones that harm Until you pay attention Then pay a leg and arm They want you with blinders And with no reminders That you are a leader And your own believer So keep on fooling them Or are you fooling yourself I don't know anymore so I turn on the news and what they feed me? Strangers they all like to read me Being part of the drama helps complete me I look for god in the tv, tv tv tv Don't let them see how far you've come Let them fatten up so they can't run Overthrow this entire system Unless you're too lazy 'cuz The media drills into your head What they want you to believe You're just sheep so you let them lead That's why you look for god in the tv I turn on the news and what they feed me? Strangers they all like to read me I'm part of solutions that free me Be your own god turn off the tv

No more religion, no more fear Counting on no one but yourself, my dear No more religion, no more fear Counting on no one but yourself, my dear Let them tell you how they think you should live For they are unhappy and something's got to give The moment you realize how wrong they all were You'll start to materialize your healing for sure No more religion, no more fear Counting on no one but yourself, my dear No more religion, no more fear Counting on no one but yourself, my dear Growth can feel scary, it's normal to be But every growing pain allows you to see Stand tall and stand strong, this pain won't last long You're rising above and you're learning how to love No more religion, no more fear Counting on no one but yourself, my dear No more religion, no more fear Counting on no one but yourself, my dear

I waited for three hours for you to fall asleep Though the time went by like seasons My heart was still incomplete The days they followed the nights Into one big motion, one big motion All of the plans in my head Got lost in the ocean, lost in the ocean Try, try just a little bit and things will turn around Ya, you need to either speed up or slow down Try, try just a little bit and things will turn around Ya, you need to either speed up or slow down I knew I was invited into your domain And you allowed me to call you by your first name I took you for granted, I took you for granted Like anyone else would do I thought I had broken your heart But finally I realized I'd broken you Try, try just a little bit and things will turn around Ya, you need to either speed up or slow down Try, try just a little bit and things will turn around Ya, you need to either speed up or slow down Speed up or slow down I thought i was getting to know you I thought we were becoming friends I thought i was getting to know you I thought we were becoming friends I thought i was getting to know you I thought we were becoming friends I thought i was getting to know you I thought we were becoming friends Try, try just a little bit and things will turn around Ya, you need to either speed up or slow down Try, try just a little bit and things will turn around Ya, you need to either speed up or slow down Speed up or slow down Speed up or slow down

Chatter in my brain, never be the same I want to do what it says then I refrain Monster in my bed, cold but I'm soaking wet Am I in dream or awake or I am really dead? How will I truly know? this is how it always goes Something for the kill, have a way cuz my will I won't let shadows dictate how I really feel Something's gotta give, I need to breathe to live I'm now the master, you're the one now held captive Now in control, I will free you so you go Sliver of light is all I need Sliver of light so I can see You may not believe if you can't see I'll show you the sun, hang on to me You have never seen the things that I have seen Though I'm not alone, you can not relate to me The choice is mine to make, my life is now at stake I am still whole, pieced back together from all the breaks Apply a little glue, look again I'm just like you Sliver of light is all I need Sliver of light so I can see You may not believe if you can't see I'll show you the sun, hang on to me I'll show you the sun, hang on to me I'll show you the sun, hang on to me

Seance Under a Waxing Moon in May 06:21

Six round the round, six lit on top Three eats for bound, twelve eyes to talk Assembled for one, symbolic trinkets Pour the solution, here, drink it Circle of hands, a cold sweat Souls were band, once they met One knock for yes, and two for no We call upon you, now make it known Dearest beloved, offer thine gifts from life unto death Commune with us, move with us, once again inhale breath Shrieking death that hallows Screaming through my ears Corpse in grave wallows Though it's clearly here Hands tightened & turn white Eyes roll back in head Noise cascades from rites And then a voice that said You brought me here, it's not ok Seance under a waxing moon in May And now I promise this under my decree Now that I'm here, I want a body Wind picks up at break neck speed Candles blown out Half of us now concede As we scream and shout Circle has been broken Cast you back to dead Fear in us has woken As the voice now said You brought me thinking it as a game Seance under a waxing moon in May Been dead so long you don't know the strife Now that I'm here, I want a life Thginot efil ot flesruoy gnirb Thgil larips, luos xetrov Ssih gnidnuos a gnitibro Tsim lytsohg msalpotce Dnuorg eht morf tirips ruoy esiar Dnuos a ekam, esion a ekam Rorrim eht hguorht em ta kool Raeppa won flesruoy tel Aelp won i, epahs a mrof Em ot kaeps, dnoyeb morf Tsud eht morf, hsa eht morf Tsum uoy esir daed eeht raeh Circle round us drawn But not by one of us Lightning, thunder roaring Poltergeist of lust Feel getting pale This we now dread Voices are a wail We've become the dead You beckoned me by your way Seance under a waxing moon in May Enjoy the cold, you lifeless fools Now that I'm here, I have you Spirits cascade through the stream Bending ears upon dreams Terrors vanish beneath the moon Angels depart pending doom

Icebound trilogy (I. Winteresque II. Made For The Tundra III. Silver & Ice) 09:50
lyrics

Waking up from a dream when I awoke from a dream The chill greets me to the bones That's when i realize I'm alone, still alone Been so long since I felt warmth White and grey are all I see It doesn't matter if I'm alive It's always so cold deep inside, inside I pray and pray to the goddess of winter To let me go, to please surrender Her grasp on me from after the kiss That left me cold and alone like this It doesn't matter what you say When I'm alive it still stays, I'm winteresque I'd feel my heart but it is numb It barely beats from any blood at all All I breathe is the cold cold air The ice, it clings to my atmosphere The more I shake off this frost The more I gain and it's a loss, oh the cost It doesn't matter what you say When I'm alive it still stays, I'm winteresque It doesn't matter what I say When I'm dead it still stays, I'm so winteresque Frostbitten I don't care I can't see and I can't hear But I know I'm going somewhere Visibility jeopardized I can't see with all the snow in my eyes I chose to live in the place I will die Made for the tundra Made for the Made for the tundra Ice frigid in my lungs Air hits flesh and becomes numb No one's survived I'm the only one Slow steady only course to take If I decide to halt my life is at stake Seems like a dream, am I asleep past my wake? Made for the tundra Made for the Made for the tundra I don't dare go to sleep For I may sink too deep And I don't dare lay down Quickly be underground Further I trek into this abyss Eyesight clears again amid the mist Amid the snowstorm's where I find my bliss Next cave is in my sight Set up camp to survive the night Inner guide is my only light Made for the tundra Made for the Made for the tundra Made for the Made for the tundra Made for the Made for the tundra Made for the tundra I can't get my hands out from the mess that you made To save a life, to save some grace This time it will be my last from the mess that you made To save a life, to change this place I want one do over, that's to do it over I see the stars and I see the scars now I blame myself though you entice now Once bound to the floor, could not get up now I break away from your silver and ice now I can't let you know the state that I'm in Might lose a life, might lose a friend I can't let you see the place that I'm in Might find the truth, I'm just confused again I want one do over, that's to move you over I see the stars and I see the scars now I blame myself though you entice now Once bound to the floor, could not get up now I break away from your silver and ice now I see the stars and I see the scars now I blame myself though you entice now Once bound to the floor, could not get up now I break away from your silver and ice now

Stitches 04:12
lyrics

High above the clouds and town The lightning strikes above the ground She plans all day and works all night With stitches sewn to make it right They say that she never comes down And every day there's stranger sounds The clouds cover the light of day "Perhaps it's haunted", the villagers say Late one night she got things right The end is near, the end's in sight The years she slaved, the years she paid Her creature now was finally made She stitches up, she stitches down It's finally breathing safe and sound It rises from the table slow The eyes are open, time to go Down to the village it moves No one knew it until they went through it And nw they have to do it As she laughed and as she cried The creature stood there wondering why If it was real, if it was dead And what's this pain inside it's head It grabbed her neck and broke her skull A sudden thud, an eerie lull And as she laid there in the blood The rain came down them like a flood It left the lab, it left it's home Went down the mountain all alone Into the village, past the trees A group of children, the creature sees Approaches then a little girl It lifts her up, they start to whirl And then into the lake she fell There's no more story left to tell

Win Or Lose 02:42
lyrics

It was a clear summer's day when you decided You didn't want to live long enough To see the other person trying to survive for thier life Both the same age and married, with obstacles that are tough One's dying to survive and one died to end their life How much pain can one person take before they go insane? This game of life shouldn't be that hard to play We're all alike 'cuz we're so different And that's what makes us the same When our body's gone, the bones will be identical as they lay The good can seem like bad when it's new Be careful of the words that you choose We all take things different, encouraged or abused We all play roles in this game win or lose We've all been betrayed so forgive yourself We're not made to be our enemies There's enough of them out there taking what we need All of the trust has been broken at one point in time I remember when you held it close and you broke mine In the big picture it's trivial so why should i care I have more important things in life then stop to wallow there This is our life now, this is where we're at There's no turning back I'll take the pieces that have fallen and remove the stack
