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

House On The Hill
04:00
|

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

Trinket Heart
03:04
|

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

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.

Nothing Like You
02:01
|
|||
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!

Black Serpent
03:32
|

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

Of Broken Bones
04:04
|
|||
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
