1. Magic to Breathe
i'm waiting here still
for the magic to come
the magic i need to breathe
i'm wondering if i will shine in their eyes
like so many before me
i'm taking the trip
where the road never ends
and the scenery's black and still
i'm closing my eyes, i am holding my breath
i'm going against my will
i've seen the days go one by one
and i'm sure the suns have changed
but i haven't left this state i'm in
and it's driving me insane
i need to change my mind
i need to feel the air around me
i need to breathe in time
i need the magic to breathe
2. In Solitude
walking through the streets
I've passed a thousand faces
step inside you and
I see there's nothing left to give
living through each day
I've left so many traces
walk beside me and
you'll see there's nothing left to give
who would believe that you would go so far?
so far from what's real and what matters?
there's been so many times
I've wished that I could change this
but I can't give you
what you think is lost and meaningless
the emptiness, the vastness
it seeps into the places
leaving you with scars and waiting for an end to this
every day more moments pass you by
nothing cherished, nothing gained
nothing makes a difference
standing there in solitude
do you see me here?
do you ever wonder why?
standing there in solitude
has left you here
do you ever wonder why?
nothing seems to matter
nothing seems to touch you
for you are lost inside
your own ungiving selfishness
the voices and the whispers
they seem to always find you
leaving you alone and scarred, denying all of this
3. Standing in Stillness
come and step inside this world
lost in your imagination
little traces left behind
can you walk away?
do you want what's been denied?
everything you thought you needed
never thinking for yourself
what else could you say?
here is what lies in your hands
pry apart your clenching fingers
if this world was left for you
where would you be today?
this is what's been left ahead
by all of those that came before you
forever looking to the past
life is a day away
standing in stillness
I feel the air changing
I've lost all sense of direction
as you go by
waiting through changes
I hear the time ticking
each moment you're changing
and wonder why
I will leave you
like all I've left before
one by one
I will leave you behind
like all that came before
they were not what I needed
one
by one
tell me what is in your heart
tell me dreams that you've forgotten
who you are and who you'll be
may never be the same
there's a life that's meant for you
just close your eyes and feel it
little traces left behind
will never be the same
4. Battled Beliefs
here we are
battle of wills like so many before
trapped in our hearts
and locked in our heads
lives to never understand
whirlwind words go rushing past
faces framed in untamed masks
the distance changes points of view
but I will never be like you
distant changing
rearranging
ever wonder why?
there's nothing here now
light is fading
masquerading
contemplating why
there's nothing here now
lost inside
the hopes and the dreams that you fought hard to hide
you've left them behind
but can't seem to let go
light the world will never know
have you ever taken time to think
they're gone?
have you ever realized your faith is gone?
you used to believe in who you used to be
you're gone
believe you're gone
5. A Dim Too Dark
viewing through these troubled eyes
a dim too dark to see
feel your way through every day
not knowing how it used to be
concentrate on oneness
the walls too tight to breathe
try to turn and walk away
there's no one left to leave
no one left to leave
troubled eyes... walk away
a dim too dark
a forgotten passage
closed and barred from all
drown in the tides of yesterday
as the waters hit the wall
walk your path of nothing
a dim too dark to see
retracing steps you took before
not knowing where they'll lead
can you close your eyes and pretend
the darkness will end?
guessing all the answers has left you here alone again
once again you're foolish
feel the emptiness in your truth
the child in you still holding on
to the dying dreams of youth
feeling through the darkness
it seems you've lost your way
dying dreams surrounding you
with nothing left to hate
count the endless injuries
too numb to feel the pain
step aside
watch it go
will it return again?
out of control
and out of your hands
all you can do is watch
out of control
and out of your hands
all you can do is watch
6. Flash of Red
And he's arrived again
The third time is the charm
I think he smiled
Have we been lost
or have we been found?
What did he mean
when he said you know you've got everything?
In a flash of red he says,
Forgive your heart
for they won't be forgiven
In a flash of red he says,
Be truthful from the start
and you will see no end
And in this place and time
Our journey's brought us here
We stood and watched
All that's past tense
and all that's passed time
We'll always be
What it means to really have everything
In a flash of red he says
Forgive your heart
for they won't be forgiven
In a flash of red he says
Be truthful from the start
and you will see no end
In a flash of red he says
Forgive your heart
In a flash of red he says
Be truthful
In a flash of red he says
They won't be forgiven
In a flash of red he says
In a flash of red
7. Truth Undiscovered
Guess I have lived a lie
This is the mark you left on me
Give me the words to say
Tell me what I'm thinking
Apparently, I've been so confused
You seem to know me better
Just who the hell are you?
I say one thing
You say, no, you meant another
I say my thoughts are true
You say truth's undiscovered
But you don't know my heart
You don't know my soul
One thing I know for sure
Is I am someone you don't know
You smile at me
You act so normally
How do you sleep at night?
Well, I could save the world with justice and humanity
You'd say I did it out of spite
Your lies are so contrived
And this is the way you face the world
You'll have the final word
Ignore what I'm saying
Entertain us with distorted views
You seem to know me better
Just who the hell are you?
I say one thing....
You smiled at me
Guess I have lived a lie
This is the mark you left
You smiled at me
Then said my thoughts aren't true
You think you know?
And just who the hell are you?
