Lotus

Blind, as we cross the lines
We endure this summer high
Upon your sky
Soon, a flower takes bloom
A vessel of fragile room
With empty hands at my side
I’ll recreate and rise
Give it your fight
In this black and white life
Symbolized, focused
And grow into lotus
Sky turns to black
As you turn and you laugh
You change your ways to the signs of the lotus
Something in me wants to break free, I’m feeling
Am I just here to see how this all plays out
Fear in my dreams
I keep falling deeper down
Waiting for this end
With empty hands at my side
I’ll recreate and rise
Give it your fight
In this black and white life
Symbolized, focused
And grow into lotus
Changing and shaping
Vicarious ways
You change your ways to the signs of the lotus
And now I see what’s on my horizon
Stronger than before, I am rising
This will not be the last time
For I am changing my ways into something greater
In this faded weather

Outdoor Currency

So easily influenced
On the other hand by your side
It’s linked to your reactions
That you never try to hide
Just think for once about
All of the things you want to be
Throw your peace signs in the air
And bite the hand that wants to feed
You will start to see
How quick we disagree
With your fake apologies
That you can keep
I could trust myself
You know I’m quick to turn around
When I’m never backing down
I’m the tidal wave
You know you are gonna drown
Open your eyes, break this disguise
Of money, power, fame and greed
Manipulation of the outdoor currency
Break out of line
Show them your fight
Progress to shine
Dimes will be damned
Weren’t there enough signs?
To lead you on your path?
To change into someone
That you know you won’t forget
Now you leave the pieces
A legacy, a dream
Following the footsteps
Of a false identity
It’s all been said and done
Now it’s time to play a part
Take your stance under the sun
And drain your heart
When you feel you’re through
If you’re bleeding black and blue
Will you know me like I do?
When there’s nothing left to prove?
Rebuild
Down, down, down on your back again
Will this madness ever end?

Do you remember the dreams we once had?
Staring through the skies, in a lonely place
We wished for the world to give back
Those things that were never erased
Time is fading, life is changing
The seasons are so strange
But I will never give myself away
Slipping through my hands
All of the little things that drove me
The ones who love, distance away
Is it me who is wrong?
Do you remember the words we once said?
Staring through the pain of a broken dream
We wished for the world to give back
Those things that were never replaced
All of the little things that drove me
The ones who love, distance away
Was it me who was wrong?
If I could find you now
Before the sun goes down
Turning it around to another day
Before the lights go out
I’m gonna tell myself
Love will make it out just another way
Slipping through my hands
All of the little things that drove me
The ones who love, distance away
Was it me who was wrong?
If I could find you now
Before the sun goes down
Turning it around to another day
Before the lights go out
I’m gonna tell myself
That we’ll make it out just another WAAAAAYYYYYY!
Slipping through my hands
Before the lights go out
I’m gonna tell myself
That we’ll make it out just another WAAAAAYYYYYY!

Cycle

Caught in the everlasting day
Sometimes I want to scream in my face
Smash the mirror, burn away
I’m stuck and can’t be released
Where have I gone?
Who have I betrayed?
Why do I keep reliving this god damn phase?
It’s survival in the cycle
We need to move
Here I stand
Far beyond the normal life
I know that I can be this and more
Your conscious stare
Guides me through this crazy time
I know that I can be this and more
Sometimes I look for someone to blame
Feel the need to grind my teeth in place
Slowly losing whatever is left of me
Where do I go?
How should I know?
Find my way out so I can grow
It’s survival in the cycle
We need to move
