Ashes of the Ordinary
03:37

Verse 1
Shuffle through each passing day
Empty faces all alone
Concrete madness, moments slip away
Lonely hearts set in stone
Chorus
Rise from the ashes of the ordinary
Rise from the night
Shed the solitary, no more momentary
Rise from the ashes of the ordinary day
Verse 2
Faceless messages, barely words
Voices echo, no reply
Pretenders in imaginary worlds
Kissing empathy goodbye
Chorus
Rise from the ashes of the ordinary
Rise from the night
Shed the solitary, no more momentary
Rise from the ashes of the ordinary day
Verse 3
Common tragedy, daily misery
Yet you never meet my eyes
Constant rivers flood our ears
And now they leave us hypnotized
Chorus
Rise from the ashes of the ordinary
Rise from the night
Shed the solitary, no more momentary
Rise from the ashes of the ordinary day
Last Chorus
Rise up and reach for the extraordinary
Rise up to the sky
Stoke the fire, ever higher
Rise from the ashes of the ordinary

Cold Light Sorrow
03:48
|
|||
Verse 1
Covered ears, no input needed
A silent veil, a comfort shroud
Wisdom's words, you never heed them
Protected from their thoughts so loud
Prechorus
Your misery's
No match for endless vanity
Chorus
Whispers glide in your cold light sorrow
Shadows pass away
Wake from the night
Reach for the bright
Hold on to the day
Verse 2
Close your eyes to vision's grandeur
Hide behind a wall of pride
Shelter from their sight's demanding
You're safe away from prying eyes
Prechorus
Your misery's
No match for endless vanity
Chorus
Whispers glide in your cold light sorrow
Shadows pass away
Wake from the night
Reach for the bright
Hold on to the day
Prechorus
Your misery's
No match for endless vanity
Chorus
Whispers glide in your cold light sorrow
Shadows pass away
Wake from the night
Reach for the bright
Hold on to the day
Whispers glide in your cold light sorrow
Shadows pass away
Wake from the night
Reach for the bright
Hold on to the day

Hourglass
Verse 1
I feel the mist
And hear the echoes
On the path I chose
Remember mornings in solitary gray
Wet and cold
On the road
Face another day
Dark clouds hovering, masking what I say to you
Verse 2
I lift my voice
And fear no answer
Amid the common banter
All around, now I've lost my mind
No comfort
In the silence
Clinging to my small defiance
No shelter, no escape from the counterpoint of time
Chorus
My words like grains of sand
Falling in this hourglass
My words just fade in silence
Trapped inside this hourglass
Verse 3
I share my words
And bare my soul
Each passing day I pay the toll
My essence, dried and crumbling, scattered cross the ground
Flowing past
Waning river
My words, not delivered
Can't break the silence crashing in from all around
Chorus
My words like grains of sand
Falling in this hourglass
My words just fade in silence
Trapped inside this hourglass

Ghosts of Tomorrow
05:33
|
|||
Verse 1
Counting pieces, building walls
Passing moments, like summer to fall
Don’t realize, the stagger's soon after the crawl
Verse 2
Hide your faces, behind a mask
Substance is too much too ask
Don’t realize, connection is not just a task
Chorus
We are the ghosts of tomorrow
Our moment's only borrowed
Lost in the eddies of this dream
Verse 3
Lost in transit, behind the wheel
These headlines are so unreal
Don’t realize, madness has such an appeal
Chorus
We are the ghosts of tomorrow
Our moment's only borrowed
Lost in the eddies of this dream
We are the ghosts of tomorrow
Our moment's only borrowed
Lost in the eddies of this dream
Chorus
We are the ghosts of tomorrow
Our moment's only borrowed
Lost in the eddies of this dream
We are the ghosts of tomorrow
Our moment's only borrowed
Lost in the eddies of this dream

My Ruin
05:16
|
|||
Verse 1
Let me caress your imperfections
Let me retrace your jagged bones
Each hour passes, dismal, each flower’s petal turns
No rest for the weary
Chorus
I try to stand on shoulders meant for heroes
And try to let you in
Please take me by the hand
Begin your mending
Rebuild my inner ruin
Verse 2
Take me for all the hell that I am
Feel my heart, our cosmic pulse
No wonder, loss has been my lifelong journey
All others have been false
Chorus
I try to stand on shoulders meant for heroes
And try to let you in
Please take me by the hand
Begin your mending
Rebuild my inner ruin
Chorus
I try to stand on shoulders meant for heroes
And try to let you in
Please take me by the hand
Begin your mending
Rebuild my inner ruin
You are ruined too…

Quicksand in My Veins
03:41
|
|||
Verse 1
Wilted clouds and heavy sky
Amber waves of gray
Drown in rain and bleed me dry
Drive my mind away
Prechorus
Down, down, deep beneath
Away my chances slowly seep
Down, down, deep beneath
Grains of sand, my soul to keep
Chorus
Stumbling through my waking hours
Quicksand in my veins
Gasping in these black waters
Quicksand in my veins
Verse 2
Black thorns pierce my aching heart
Fears I can't explain
Dark pain tears my soul apart
Hopeless, crushing pain
Prechorus (1/2)
Down, down, deep beneath
Grains of sand, my soul to keep
Chorus
Stumbling through my waking hours
Quicksand in my veins
Gasping in these black waters
Quicksand in my veins
Stumbling through my waking hours
Quicksand in my veins
Gasping in these black waters
Quicksand in my veins

Hollow Eyes
03:40
|
|||
Verse 1
A river cries
Glide past the water
Across the ground
Moon falls in shadows
On the hunt
Creep through heavy silence
Embrace the night alone
Verse 2
A rising howl
Plea for another
Dusk to dawn
Eternal, solitary
Still this night
Waits for an answer
Embrace the night alone
Chorus
Hollow eyes, beneath dark skies
Moonlight in the night like a cold disguise
Hollow eyes, hollow eyes
Tears don't cry
Lost in…
Bridge
Hollow eyes, beneath dark skies
Moonlight, a cold disguise
Tears don't cry
Lost in hollow eyes
Chorus (out)
Hollow eyes, beneath dark skies
Moonlight in the night like a cold disguise
Hollow eyes, hollow eyes
Tears don't cry
Lost in…
Hollow eyes, beneath dark skies
Moonlight in the night like a cold disguise
Hollow eyes, hollow eyes
Tears don't cry
Hollow eyes

This Bitter End
04:29

Verse 1
March in silence, bitter cold
Safety in this heavy load
Hope forgotten all around
Souls lost on snowy ground
Prechorus
Steal away in the dark of night
Shelter here just out of sight
Verse 2
Four times my path has failed
Dark cell, bloody nails
Tonight I breathe you in
Reach for your star again
Prechorus
Steal away in the dark of night
Shelter here just out of sight
Chorus
I will find you
Leave behind this bitter end
Verse 3
Had no choice, told hell goodbye
Moments from the day I'd die
This quiet path to the unknown
Lead me to you, to my home
Prechorus
Steal away in the dark of night
Shelter here just out of sight
Chorus
I will find you
Leave behind this bitter end

To the Sun
03:28

Verse 1
Heartbeat canyon
Garden wall
Towers distant
Echoes call
Staggered edges
Not undone
Moments in the
Rising sun
Verse 2
Glowing rivers
Icy flows
Decorated
Ever old
Sheer and mighty
Ancient stone
Carved defiance
Nature’s own
Prechorus
Don't look down
Hold your breath
Onwards climb
And never rest
Don't look down
You'll fall through the seams
Verse 3
Crawling forward
Standing time
Any moment
Stopping dime
Stone fall swerve
Blinding curve
Bleached knuckles
Frantic nerves
Prechorus
Don't look down
Hold your breath
Onwards climb
And never rest
Don't look down
You'll fall through the seams
Chorus
Go to the sun
Reach for the sky
Forever fly
Verse 4
Hairpin turnstile
Asphalt flashback
Wandering gravel
Faultline cracks
Mindless pavement
Wasted wall
Shear shoulder
Winding tall
Crawling forward
Standing time
Any moment
Stopping dime
Stone fall swerve
Blinding curve
Bleached knuckles
Frantic nerves
Prechorus
Don't look down
Hold your breath
Onwards climb
And never rest
Don't look down
You'll fall through the seams
Chorus
Go to the sun
Reach for the sky
Forever fly
Go to the…
Reach for the…
Forever fly
Go to the sun
Reach for the sky
Forever fly
Go to the sun
Reach for the sky
Forever fly
