I can't remember what I saw When I opened up my eyes for the first time I guess it was a bright light At least I want to think that way Next thing I knew I was in a race called life There were no rules Only years were passing by It's like they say You can't chase time Now I know because I've tried I've failed more than once But it has never stopped me from asking this: What's my purpose? Why I'm here? Where's my path? How do I find it? And after twenty-five years I still can see this bring light sometimes But I don't need its guidance I think I'll find my own way through this darkness To be no longer lost Looking back at my past All I see is a long road, road that is paved with mistakes Maybe I was blind And every crossroad I faced, led me away from my goal But now I see the true meaning, the purpose I was so desperate to find I'll leave my humble imprint on the timeline cause, in the end, we're no more than Numbers on a headstone at a graveyard We are numbers on a headstone at a graveyard

An old house that is standing on the hill Hasn't always been like this So dead and empty Like an ancient stone, it's covered in dust Abandoned, forgotten by people who used to live there Time! It takes me back to when this place was not haunted By regret and misery Light! Pierces the veil of cigarette smoke In front of my eyes So I can see myself living this lie I'm living this lie As I approach the thick oak steps the wind keeps singing A song of memories forever lost in a haze And as my foot steps on the porch, it all comes clear So will I find what I am looking for inside? Time! It takes me back to when this place was not haunted By regret and misery Light! Pierces the veil of cigarette smoke In front of my eyes So I can see myself living this lie

There was a girl without a face Trapped in this merciless world of haze She called it her home But it was nothing more than a cage Keeping the roots that choke She forced her love to wither away into silence She found a space for her lungs to breathe But when she turned her face to the sun She watched the whole world Collapse in front of her eyes Depression Despair Demise That place between the stars She always stared into Was (no*) nothing more than reflection of her weary eyes With trinket heart clenched tight in her hand She watched the whole world collapse in front of her eyes Depression Despair Demise That place between the stars Did it even exist? Hopeless child Saved by no one She weakly smiled and witnessed the sun Turn from red to blue witnessed the sun Turn from red to blue Turn from red to blue

Wanderer 03:26
I'm glad to see you again my friend Is it hard for your roots to breathe in this sand? I'm sorry I can't help you old friend I can feel my lungs collapse in this hell as well The old tree with its trenches spread wide Like the cracks on the skin of this lifeless desert Screaming the question "why?" but I still don't have any answer Vultures Feasting On a prey that was desperately looking for shelter But why can't I see her face? Why can't I see her face? Then I follow the tumbleweed into a whirlwind so everything can be erased Hollow Destroyed Battered Empty Silenced Dead Crushed Trampled Shattered This is the only way I can escape this hell! Dust Devil raises me to the sky but I don't have to fight My mind becomes a part of some twisted roulette Dust Devil raises me to the sky so now I know how to fly And I'm flying high until it ends.

Imagine that every time you close your eyes The only sound you hear is your deafening heartbeat It crushes your chest in a failed attempt to run from this nightmare One swing after another A father shows his true face Face of a monster Blinded by rage Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide His home, a place that's supposed to be safe Turned into hell! By the hand of a man that was there to protect him A broken man who’s gone through so much pain Gives voice to love through violence only I guess we inherit the sins of our fathers The burden we’re destined to carry alone Well, I refuse! I'm nothing like you! Well, I refuse! I'm fucking nothing like you!

Serpent! O Black Serpent! Trade your skin for mine For me to be invisible in shadows Invincible in ruthless fights Serpent! O Black Serpent! Trade your blood for mine For me to call this cold a home Escape from raging fire So we shook hands The darkness was a bargain My time has come to face the empty void Oh little brother, I beg you please remember My lullaby that guided you through restless nights

Dead Trees 04:30
So much hatred, I'm at the point of no return. All this pain you've caused made me feel all colors clearly I'm at the lake that used to be my shelter Where I've pretended that willow will take care of me. Years have passed But I still find peace in coming here to watch the water surface Reflect the sun That almost blinds me Reminding that I have true sight I'm throwing stones into the water Like I'm trying to brake image of myself Years have passed But I still wonder Is this real? Are you finally gone? Never thought that I will miss you I guess we weren't so different after all And I'm dropping the soil on the black wood beneath my feet I'm letting you go with forgiveness, I'm letting you go And I'm burying my hurt in this black wood beneath my feet I'm heading to east where the sun never sleeps Every dawn that I'll see will become your memorial Every dusk will erase what's left of your shadow

Line after line after line I’m writing a poem that has nothing to do with the truth Just like colors that I’ve randomly put on the canvas before I don’t know if I’m honest I don’t know if there are a million stars in the sky Waiting for me to take place Among those who’ve been claimed I belong in the darkness I belong in this beautiful absence of light I’m black serpent I’m a wanderer faceless and dead So I stand there with the torch in my hand As the wind sings his last serenade This is his farewell This is me blazing I let the fire spread and watch the flames erase everything So that no one knows that I’m made of broken bones
