Never thought I'd go this far Being tied up by this old chain Have you ever seen a star Trapped inside its old remains Can't accept that I am lost In what seems to be the new reality Every bridge that I have crossed Reminds me of the time I was free Can't relate to this at all Where can I go to find my inner spirit back I find it hard to fly I find it hard to fly Almost out of sight I've hardly heard enough And I can never be alone I feel I've needed saving all my life Can't resist to bring you hope It's the only way to leavе my head behind Lifelong flight (Out of hеre, out of here, everywhere) Far beyond the red light (Light, light) Lifelong flight (Out of here, out of here, everywhere) Last night Was the start of something new Forgetting how to breathe Haven't left this chamber for three years Built my life beneath Layers of dried up tears Falling in and out of sleep Surrounding myself with despair My joy is buried deep I'm becoming frighteningly aware I can never be alone I feel I've needed saving all my life Can't resist to bring you hope It's the only way to leave my head behind Lifelong flight (Out of here, out of here, everywhere) Far beyond (Red light) Lifelong flight (Out of here, out of here, everywhere) Last night (Final chapter) Lifelong flight (Out of here, out of here, everywhere) Last night Was the start of something new

Shadows casted Everlasted Same as before Drawn by glory Antique story The internal war Toxic fiction Contradiction Poisonous core The silhouette As strong as ever A ghost of my own making Strong as ever Trapped inside, left to burn Senses faded Spirit jaded Eyes out of focus Caught in my fear What I revere Will be fulfilled Dreadful topic Catastrophic Always predicted

Dripping still from seawater Hoping for a longer break (Hope, hope) In my story I'm the author How long have I been awake? Seven years of unawareness Holding on to infant energy Holding on, holding on Holding on, holding on Holding on, holding on Holding on, holding on Holding on, holding on All the moments are gone Finding it alone Trying to atone All the moments are gone Forever is a myth The presence is the only thing that's real I would gladly spend a lifetime Chasing hopelessly the sublime Reconstructing broken walls Building me a solid fortress Closing the familiar holes Repainting the old portraits

Fly Together forever I See it all now Why Respecter, rejector Why High Above them, I show them How (Will I) Collect them, affect them Lie To protect them, forget them The reason why Respect them, reject them Why Collect them, affect them I Have you ever tried to make me blind With stories that could make me losе my mind?

Would it ever help me leave behind What I have lost, the line that I've crossed What I have lost I lost

Sitting on top Pain on the rise again Leaving the path Jumping on the right train Breaking away From the dismay again Letting it go I didn't know it could be this way And didn't we stop Having this fight again Time to rewind Time to revive this pain Trying to find A simple life again Letting it drone When I'm running low Letting go Never know Where I'll be Derailed When I leave There's no way I believe I will stay I belong, I belong To the shadow side But it's wrong It's wrong to give in I still hope, I still hopе Where it nevеr was before I still hope, still hope Hope I belong, I belong To the shadow side But it's wrong It's wrong to give in Bringing it back From the obscure again Time to connect To be secure again Holding me up So that I won't Won't disappear again Finally back Reaching your goal again Taking my time Making me whole again Saving your life Saving my soul again And when I stop I will make sure that I'll stay I was done for I endured In the end, that's all that matters When I'm done I'll be one With myself I belong, I belong To the shadow side But it's wrong, but it's wrong To give in I still love, I still love Where it never was before I still love, I still love Again I belong, I belong To the shadow side But it's wrong, but it's wrong To give in I still love, I still love Where it never was before I still love, I still love Again

I am back here once again In the mist In the mist without sight I thought I fought my way back Now I'm afraid I'm afraid to lose hope Will I ever be the man In control In control of his world? Open wounds that will not heal Pull me back Pull me back inside And I I was always on the side Of conformities and pride Had no shelter from the rain And I I was always on the side So I kept my little lie To be safe from what may come To be alone inside of my thoughts A state that I tend to avoid But if I can't get to them I think no one can Moving forward nonetheless I'm afraid this is how I've become How can I sort it out When I don't even know what I'm looking for? If I only knew that, at least I could deal with it I don't even have a plan On how to move forward from here Oh, my life Is on hold In this moment There is nothing here but darkness My life Is on hold It's on hold Until I've figured out this maze I hold my breath and count to ten Maybe then It will all go away Distraction strategies may work But only Only for so long

I see no reason to wake up It is the season to retract Five hour daylight pass me by Today I'm not gonna try Falling in and out of sleep This slope is getting way too steep My body and my mind Are synchronized Paralyzed Nighttime disguise Might arise Far beyond my sight I always thought That I'd pull through Now there is little left to do It's more than I can comprehend I promised I would make amends Make alterations in my soul Feels like a bottomless hole I'm contradicting myself Searching order, shelf by shelf My body and my mind Are synchronized Nighttime disguise Might arise Nighttime disguise When I'll be gone Nighttime arise A storm in disguise

When I'm looking for signs A prophecy to trust Knowing I must be right But I know that I am lost Whatever happened to my sight Shouting out loud To make my intuition stronger All too simple to find When senses are open I manage to try To find a new hope Feels like I'm starting to run low on Time to reveal my thoughts are out to get me Another day is over in this world of mine Another triumph waiting to be done Another answer hidden by a distant mind Where all my worries could be gone When I'm back on my feet But I'm all out of focus And the battle is won But I still have no peace It's like I've met my inner demon Trying to see If I'm ready to leave him Getting close to my goal At the edge of the wall When the circle is whole And I'm ready to fall About to face my closing trial Rip it all out, it has to hurt before it's over

Dive deep into the Subconscious layers Be careful not to sink Stay out, be free Don't enter this abyss That's where I go to think Enjoy the restrictions Be glad you can feel the sting Silent compassion Won't lead to anything Out of the dark Nowhere to start Tainted words Pieces apart Acquired taste In control of it all What were you thinking? As if you can put an end to this Rest now, tomorrow You can make it all OK Prepare a day you will not miss Bring forth your gift Made from pure belief Be sure no one finds out Be sure no one finds out why Stay in the cold You will see Someone else will leave your mark To be sold So you're free You'll be drawn out of the dark
