Time Machine

I am traveling through time
Leaving the past behind
Let me tell you what I see
Lucidly

I see darkness taking light
I see no end to this in sight
I feel the very air I breathe
Suffocating me

This life has lost its soul
This time has missed its goal

We managed an all-time low
Succeeded at failing so
Greed gave us an endless fall
In the end we’ve lost it all

Fast forward to a place
Countless years beyond our time
The crimes our hands have wrought
Nonexistence it brought

I can’t decide to leave or love
This world became a big confusion
Will the darkness ever end?
Can our humanity rescind?

We managed an all-time low
Succeeded at failing so
Greed gave us an endless fall
In the end we’ve lost it all

[Spoken words]

Far from Grace

Everyday life seems to be the same
Finding another reason to stay
I keep turning to the past
Feel I’m moving in a maze
Keeping this burden inside of me

Can someone tell me the reason
Why my dreams keep fading away

I am trying to understand to ease my pain
I am trying to keep sane to burn again

Day by day I pretend to be brave
Lie to myself each and every day
Never facing the truth, I keep the voices to myself
This madness inside my head

Can someone tell me the reason
Why are my hopes breaking away

Now I break free from misery
I feel so much closer to heaven
Shedding my skin and I’m leaving this shell
Strengthening myself to rise
like the sun once again

Can someone tell me the reason
Why I am falling from grace

I am trying to understand to ease my pain
I am trying to keep sane to burn again

...

Forsaken

You, lost in the shadows of life
Words, you said to me faded like night
You, pretended to stay by my side
And I, left here for fate to decide

You, misled my heart left it to die
You, deceived me with every lie
You, lay in wait poised to consume
And I, left to the mercy of you

Can't feel anymore I try to cry
Feel like I am paralyzed
Ashes of my soul are all that’s left
As I am now forsaken
