1. Reroute to Remain
[Verse:]It started as a whisperNow try to dodge this roarUnified, the most forceful way to goWaste this one?It's up to you!We need this revolutionDestroy the patternAnything that separatesAcross the times. Who dares to follow?[Pre-Chorus:]For years we wandered these circlesHold onto whatever lie gets us through[Chorus:]Design new latitudesFind ways to channel blissUs defined, it's too fragile to neglectReroute to RemainReroute to Remain[Verse:]Never want, to look back in greedCan I please have your attention?There are mountains to crossFor all that are willingThere a never ending treasuresThat await you
2. System
[Verse:]I cannot frame, that's why I lose controlI aim, I stumble and I fallOur adaptation can't be faithfulYour world does not attract meThis is the end you seeThere is no more truth in meAs if you would deserve itYou are my enemyI can't ignore the way you make me bleedI hate when you throw my thoughts against the wallGot to wake up and make a standThe desperation forces another mistakeI count againI know who to blameMy life in vainWho said I was sane?[Pre-Chorus:]Follow your instinctIt usually takes you homeDon't let these words tear you downYou see me hangingBy the end of the ropeI tell you...[Chorus:]Slow I goAnd the wait seems to be overAll that I knowIs that my life has become such a waste for you[Verse:]I blame and run, sadly all too oftenI dive into the day without your sympathyI tend to try but lack the focusBecoming a distant memory What once was is quickly forgottenAll wrapped up insideDelete all resemblanceI feel your relief
3. Drifter
[Verse:]It's hard to believeYou could be such a diseaseI can no longer separate what's realHope that fate will find me safeAll my reflections laugh at meYou made me hide my nameIt just feels bad to sayThat there'll be another day[Chorus:]What you wanted was impossible to defineThe words I hear are of scrambled lettersGuess it's been there for yearsIt never let me know I was alright[Verse:]Building a room with no doorsIs this the last of me?Wring the rag for the last few dropsFalling into infinity
4. Trigger
[Verse:]Have we lost the spark or a guide?What's the latest on the screen?Can't be too late to turn aroundI need all the help from youI need to findSomething to blame for a long lost time[Pre-Chorus:]I am running from something that I don't knowI am searching for something, which way to go?I am trying to separate what's realI'm running in a wheel[Verse:]Is it dark or is it bright?What's the latest on the screen?Please tell me my nameI haven't checked it today[Chorus:]From green to red our days pass byWaiting for a sign to tell us whyAre we dancing all alone?Collect some stars to shine for youAnd start today 'cause there's only a fewA sign of times my friend[Verse:]My friend avoid infinityAre you for real?Just scratch the surfaceAnd you will findSomething to blame for a long lost time
5. Cloud Connected
[Verse:]People like youYou live in a dream worldYou despise the outside And you fear you're the next oneIt's in your dreamThere's just one questionShould I kill?Or should I be left behind?Sick and tiredOf all your complaints This is the hourWe bring it down[Chorus:]I've come to realizeEvery little glimpse, you fadeI was told that I could flyWhen least expected, cloud connected[Verse:]You seem to beSo introvertedHow come we fail?With all that is given?You crossed the lineYou remember my nameTime runs backwardsAs long as you are heading that way
6. Transparent
Consume all the obscenePersuade the most hideous and uglyUnder every pile and stoneA rebirth, for you to findFreedom is to be able To go in any directionSo take the uncertain path[Pre-Chorus:]One foot in the openTen feet aheadBuild your own ladderAnd don't lie to yourself[Chorus:]Secrets left above the grave (It's not for one to keep)You're all so self destructiveSpend more time with the broken (see what became of their mistake)You know you're lost when you feel transparent[Verse:]Be at one with the windEven if it's a struggleMake this your priorityOpen all your senses To new impressionsAct like all that was has vanished
7. Dawn of a New Day
[Verse:]The thoughts of yesterday forgottenI like the way this new skin feelsBring me splinters of tomorrowCollect the parts where I win[Chorus:]Against the grainAgainst the oddsI'll rise and I won't trip againThe dawn of a new day never lookedAs good as this[Verse:]Concrete breath and dust filled tearsA one way ride to inner peaceI never thought I'd join the othersThose who use the dice to solve
8. Egonomic
[Verse:]A mass illusionBlind men in a lineThey smother their fires with gasolineA stranger's contributionEverybody's on the runNo clue where they are headingA spineless attemptHave we lost it completely?It always ends up in a mess[Chorus:]A liar's ambitionPraised like a kingEvery day in every wayWe are getting weakerYou won't go farWith the life that you're livingEvery day in every wayWe are getting weaker[Verse:]Slow and calculatedAfraid of the sleepingWe'll never ever reach the goal
9. Minus
[Verse:]Drug me, infiltrate my never landLike the floodtide drowning the shoreDrug me, you're all over meWatch my blood begin to boilI love that lullabyStart me up againElectric spineOpen mind[Pre Chorus:]I leave you, negative behindWatch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride[Chorus:]Inhale the lightRelax for some timeThe world outside stays numb tonightFree your mind express the forgottenThe world inside is yours tonight[Verse:]Please me, deliver the insaneIn the chaos I find peacePlease me, remind the gods of my nameI believe there is one seat left for me
10. Dismiss the Cynics
[Verse:]Will we find a solutionWhen we add all the numbers?Like they are supposed to be? But no is close... Start all over!If we fail our expectationsWe will fall into the deepest voidIs there a limit to how many timesWe will dust ourselves off?[Chorus:]The mystery of timeListen to me, carefullyThe mystery of timeIt's you and meThat's all we need[Verse:]Would you choose supremacyIf it led to isolation?Could you handle the solitude?Would you still prefer the throne?
11. Free Fall
[Verse:]Mirror MirrorHow far will I go?Despite the foundation I am fallingSweet reflectionWill you save a place for me?Where am I heading?Could you grant me a haven?For what?I am punished could I ever repent?Mother Nature, I'm wide openWaiting for you to move meDon't keep it from meThis is a free fall[Chorus:]I never seem to understandThe time, the place and who I amDefine a way to stay aliveIt's like I'm living a lie[Verse:]Father time every time I stop and feelYou're there to tell me I'm already late
12. Dark Signs
[Verse:]Held down, strangled and abusedCut down to half a memberLeft with his hand tiedEverything points in the wrong directionAll the joy disappearedThe negative has penetratedOnce he was in controlWhat's left, the faintest laughter[Chorus:]We're out of focus, we've lost controlI blame our ego and you call me namesYou're told that you are trapped belowAnd dark signs helped to proveYou got to reach further For what life shall provide[Verse:]Feeling pressure from the foldHe believes the dream is overDrained blue eye, scorching fireThe whole meaning becomes undone
13. Metaphor
[Verse:]You stole my pure intentionYou are the sickness in betweenLet me in, I'll bury the painYou taught me to be sad at youYou almost made me take it allLet me in, I'll bury the painYou bend me and you shake meYou beg me then you break meLet me in, I'll bury the painYou made me feel like a sinnerNow you fear you'll die aloneLet me in, I'll bury the pain[Chorus:]The sickness that you areThe plague that made me starveYou think you can show me how I've come this farI feel it's taking overEverything falls darkBreak me openThe desperate cry
14. Black and White
[Verse:]I am one with the world tonightI am proud to be this far from youYou say that you have no regretsBut I know that you doYou told me someone stole the eyeI know him too[Chorus:]I've come to the conclusion, yes I knowThat between black and whiteThere is no room for twoThe scale it might be wideBut there's no need to be blindBetween black and white there is no room for two[Verse:]I leave all the grey behindI see clear, I know that I'll findYou claim that you are innocentBut tell me who aintYou think that you're going to be savedThere's no such thing as a saintBlack and WhiteThere's nothing in betweenBlack and WhiteNothing's what it seems
