From where I stand I see a city in flames
One consumed by fear, brought to their knees reluctant to change
I sit here frozen in the midst of you, with no room to Blame
And the only thing that's clear from here, for you I fear, only failure remains
I won't step back, and watch this one walk away, and never walk back
(Where these words fail my actions will suffice)
It's not too late
You know exactly who we are. And where we need to be.
And in the end, it's getting harder to breathe
The sky is falling, this world is dying to be free, to be free
We don't know where we've gone wrong, we can't see how this came to be.
The only way out of this nightmare, lies within me
Once shackled by human ignorance, now my feet are planted firm
Feel the ground beneath your feet, ill break the binds and gain control
Into the void, we'll collapse and take the throne
Perhaps this was a foundation not meant to be set in stone, eventually we'll find our own.
What we made and what path, just doesn't seen to exist anymore, so find your own
(Repeat Chorus)
So, maybe I'm the one to give
Maybe I'm the one that's keeping you awake, keeping you awake
I can only watch, as you dream and I start to dream myself
Start to dream myself

The Voyager
03:56

From ghost to icon,
He became aware
Unseen
Holding strong to what’s there
Voyage of thought,
Drilled into our mind
Incept this idea,
Ascend the mountainous climb
Be still
Here it calling,
Hopeful - but still falling
Strength through struggle,
And for what it’s worth-
I’d hope you believe
Standing before a crowd,
With faces of disbelief
Braving where,
Destiny begins (and morales end)
A failure in their eyes,
A hero in mine
One true test to ensure,
Is the test of time
Open your mind,
And your heart to find
The truth in existence,
Don’t get left behind
Don’t get left behind
Don’t get left behind-
Chase the light
And I’ve seen a room full of fire
With every breath that I take,
I get closer to this
My mind has come to consistency
The gravity of it all,
Leaves my vision to bliss
We will,
Find a way,
To see this through
Until our lives,
Become brand new
We won’t fall into material
But search, further -
For the surreal
We’re all just on a voyage
To nowhere
But you must know where you’ve been,
To know where you’re going
Where were you,
When I needed you most?
The eye to my storm
Shadowing my every move
(When will the sting numb over)
I was there,
When you needed me
I was the sail,
To your ship
And you the anchor,
To my depths
I’ve become so lost
On this one way road
But it’s the only way,
The only way I know
So show me,
I won’t be alone
And when this voyager,
Sees the light you burn-
I’ll find my way back home

At Its Roots

Find what makes sense,
In the midst of confusion
And hold on to it
It may be,
The only sanity -
You have left
(You have left)
At the mountain,
And the valley
Together-
They create the scenery
A story unravels,
As a life once did
Solitude to gratitude
(Evolve) into -
What you’ve always known,
A moment to dissect your inner self
From the discovery ,
To the foundation
Discover yourself
When I was just a boy,
I believed that I could fly,
And soar to such great heights
I saw this world as a gift,
And loved every part of it
With all I had
Getting closer to finding my way
Fighting time and finding strength
I know it doesn't make sense now
But trust that things will get better somehow
In case you forgot, I'm still afraid
But fear not, I'm still the same
In my eyes, things will only digress
But in this chaos, I still find happiness
At times I feel incomplete
But there's still so much left to see
With open eyes, I will take it in
The world in front of me, there is nothing I can't achieve
What was needed to create
Have you ever told a story,
That didn't seem to have an end
But telling it meant living through the worst of all of it
So far from the other side
But still seemingly within my sights
You taught me to see things through to the mend and i won't give in
Just let me live if only one more day through these memories that we just erase
Ill separate myself from you
Keeping my distance, closing the gap

The Turning Point

Miles above reality, my thoughts begin to race
When will something meaningful fall into place
The question remains, whether or not to face
The worst of my fears, these demons I must lay to waste
fear is just excuse to fail
Self doubt's the easy way out
If this means a new beginning, Ill wipe my slate clean
You can't erase the past, but pushing forward is easier than it may seem

Speak the truth you're only hurting yourself now
And how you look so desperate
What made you so proud
So tell me what made you so proud
Dissect your mind
So I can find the reasons why
You're spinning in circles searching for miracles
Praying for release
And at the heart of it all
You're still at fault I'll miss you when you're gone
Stay the course
I will find my way through
My way through this
(My way through this)
So take one more step and I'll show you the truth
And as you decay my heart goes out to you
But it won't mean a thing
So here's to the memories
And I hope that someday these words will mean something to someone
But for now they remain the only thing that's keeping me from tearing at the seams
Locked in this mental prison
Reaching away is my only escape
And in my mind I'm gaining control
But only to release in the wrong
But this is where I'm free
To speak hollow words
It's a crime unforgiving
To sacrifice a truth unending
So take one more step and I'll show you the truth
And as you decay my heart goes out to you
But it won't mean a thing
So here's to the memories

Have you ever told a story,
That didn't seem to have an end
But telling it meant living through the worst of all of it

But still seemingly within my sights
You taught me to see things through to the mend and i won't give in
Just let me live if only one more day through these memories that we just erase
Ill separate myself from you
Keeping my distance, closing the gap
So just you wait and see,
What this story -
Has to offer me
The only way it’s going to end,
Is if I’m standing here,
With my heart in hand
And I’ll these dreams I’ve dreamed-
How could any of them mean nothing?
When everything was so clear,
All I had to do was dream
To make a name for yourself,
You have to fight the current (so)
How can I?
Step back from the ground around me,
Take a deep breath so I can see clearly -
Create this life
I’m gonna make it there someday, (I can feel myself, inching closer)
To the edge of the world if I have to- crawl (to what I desire)
This view from miles and miles away, (reaching out- I need to capture)
This view I will share with you someday - and it’ll be great (what I need to create this)
I see you looking at me-
So tell me, what do you see?
When you look at me?
(Ugh)

From Beginning To End

Leaves coat the green with a colorful scene
Painting you things you've only seen in dreams
The water glows as the light passes through
A piece of the sky illuminates the blue
Searching for signals
Only to find
The path you've been on
Is your peace of mind
Take a Look around
At all of the signs
This is your chance to see things through
A softer set of eyes
What would give for a change in heart
I know this isn't what you want
Break free of earthy desire
Transcend to something pure
Your mind leading you in new direction
That only you can endure
