Awareness 00:33
Help Me Today, I realize I never was the one that I thought I am And I think that you should care You took me for a fool but now it’s time to pay ‘Cause you know I’m nice and you think I’m sane But I assure you it’s fucking dark inside Stay the fuck away, you were not good to me So now just run and hide And I guess I should have known That everything's not what it seems to be I've hidden my true nature Now I'm aware This is my awareness Flee me You can blame me, but I've just realised We all have demons inside And I'm not so different to you I have just opened my eyes So don’t stay to close from me He’s gonna take control And I can’t do anything to stop him So don’t save me, just save you all And I guess I should have known That everything's not what it seems to be I've hidden my true nature Now I'm aware I made a mistake, thought these demons would help me, elevate me But now they’re just trying to dig me, to kill me, to take control of my fucking mind And I guess I’ll give up, I’ll break up, I’ll fuck up but to be honest I don’t care ‘Cause I see, every day, so much hate, so much pain, it makes me fucking mad Fucking humankind And I guess I should have known Now I'm aware I’ve hidden my true nature I can’t take this anymore I’ve made a mistake I can see it now So please don’t leave me, don’t turn your back on me Help me, ‘cause I don’t show it but inside I’m dying So please don’t let me drown

Aaaaaah, open, open our eyes We are the cancer of our home, the plague of our ground The virus that infect the corpse, the fire that get off the soul We could find a remedy, we prefer to play with our sickness We are our worst enemy, but we are the only one who rest I would’ve like to say: “it’s better now than never” Some think of the reset, others stare at the sun I would’ve like to say: “it’s better now than never” Some think of the reset, others stare at the sun It’s easy to forget, it’s better to be dumb It’s easy to forget, it’s better to be dumb We persist in burning what we are, disintegrate, annihilate Do you ever wonder how deep you could sink into the emptiness? Do you ever consider the distance you could cross crawling? We swallowed our sins, spit out our dreams, stopped hoping We destroy ourselves and we seem to like it We dethrone ourselves and we discredit I would’ve like to say: “it’s better now than never” Some think of the reset, others stare at the sun I would’ve like to say: “it’s better now than never” Some think of the reset, others stare at the sun It’s easy to forget, it’s better to be dumb It’s easy to forget, it’s better to be dumb One day we’ll open our eyes, head up and look at the sky Beyond the infinite sea, disregarding this feeling This strange and disturbing feeling of human being Like a blinding sun, like a self-delusion One day we’ll open our eyes, head up and look at the sky Beyond the infinite sea, disregarding this feeling This strange and disturbing feeling of human being Like a blinding sun, like a self-delusion When we’ll open our eyes and stare at this sea Maybe we’ll realise that we could just be ‘Cause it’s better to be blind, no, it’s better to be blind When we’ll open our eyes and stare at this sea Maybe we’ll realise that we could just be ‘Cause it’s better to be blind, no, with nothing left to see Fuck

Atlantis 00:33
The world is not a place where you can run away Lying on your silence, trying to fade away Lost in the open sea you're drifting by in the wave Deluding yourself into this Atlantis So, don't complain, you're begging for help But who is to blame, tell me who is to… Alone and disabused, you’re nothing but empty Who will bring the flame back in you? Guess you can see it clearly That you drown in your shame, brings you nothing but pain, Time to heal maybe a catharsis to get rid of this Atlantis So don't complain, you're begging for help But who is to blame, tell me who is to blame? So don't complain, you're begging for help But who is to blame, tell me who is to To blame You know I can't fight for yourself You have to do this on your own Nobody's gonna tell to her what you wanna to say You know I can't fight for yourself Looking to break the remains, the remains, Of the fence that immure your soul What if I trust myself? Surely, I’ll go over it Tear down all my demons and Nah hold on hold on Fuck it How could I make myself clear when I’m deep in the dark? Trying to fight my demons but I love when everything gets black I could surely bring the flame back in me but, feels much better this way How could I even barely catch pace I need to find peace in me You know I can't fight for yourself You have to do this on your own Nobody's gonna tell to her what you wanna to say You know I can't fight for yourself Looking to break the remains, the remains Of the fence that immure your soul Nobody’s gonna tell, gonna tell, gonna tell Nobody’s gonna tell to her what you wanna to say Break the remains Break the remains I have to find a way out of this place, how to break the remains It’s leading me nowhere You know I can't fight for yourself You have to do this on your own Nobody's gonna tell to her what you wanna to say You know I can't fight for yourself Looking to break the remains, the remains Of the fence that immure your soul I can do it myself I can fight for my fate I can release my strength I can define and defy my soul Define and defy my soul

I've always felt that something was wrong I've always been told that I should know That even if my mind is that strong I should bury it deep down my soul So, gather yourself gather your thoughts Let's pray together, let's sing and hope This is a day where we celebrate This is a requiem for myself And everyone is different from me they told They are sane and fine but I am unstable Swallow these pills, you'll get better That's what she told me and I believed her So, gather yourself gather your thoughts Let's pray together, let's sing and hope This is a day where we celebrate This is a requiem for myself I am searching for an end I'm looking for a way out You say that this hell is not a safe place I am searching for an end I'm looking for a way out You say that this hell is not a safe place Let me put a smile on this… This face, on this face On this on this…

Small War 00:33
You’re lost in your mind, looking for how to go out Feeling poor and bad, thinking that you missed the path And you feel downhearted, you don’t know what you can do But I can stretch your hand and take you out of that bind You made some mistakes that brought you deep down You thought you could escape but it dragged you down Taken by the pace of the foolish bounds Your thoughts, and your prayers can’t keep you alive That’s the only solution you know, it’s the best one, I’m afraid so You have to keep calm and trust me You’ll relive, thanks to me You just have to follow me And I will show you the world show you the way Everyone will follow you And you will become again The Almighty How could I even keep up all the faith? How could I ever be trusted again? I thought I could reveal the hideous plan That they all used and abused, a marvelous time But if I lose control if I sink in the unknown Will it ever be a judgment, a penance for my soul I don’t think I’m falling down, I’ve got too much left to say I don’t think I’m falling down I don’t think I’m falling down You just have to follow me And I will show you the world show you the way Everyone will follow you And you will become again The Almighty You just have to follow me And I will show you the world show you the way Everyone will follow you And you will become again The Almighty Even if you struggle, you’ll not make it on your own Even if you fight, you’ll wind up and die out Even if you struggle, you’ll not make it on your own Even if you fight, you’ll wind up and die out You’re going to laugh, a small war and we’re off You’re going to laugh, a small war and we’re off

Sometimes I lose the faith in, sometimes I fall Sometimes I feel like I’m never gonna make it at all Sometimes I feel like broken, lost in the pain Somehow, I hope we’re gonna get rid of our chains And we fight for our lives, to see them shine We fight for our lives, to see them shine We’re walking out of path to see them falling We’re running from the start to make this happen Another star, or a broken fate You know it's do or die, we're not afraid I believe that one day we'll succeed That nothing's gonna take me so deep I can't breathe (We’re not afraid) I wonder that one day we're gonna reach our dreams And everybody's gonna see we're not afraid Not going by the motion, not some back seat Spell it in black and white we’re not the toys of destiny We want to come and get it, destroy the place Remove dust and ashes blow this wind on their face and fight We’re walking out of path to see them falling We’re running from the start to make this happen Another star, or a broken fate You know it's do or die, we're not afraid I believe that one day we'll succeed That nothing's gonna take me so deep I can't breathe (We’re not afraid) I wonder that one day we're gonna reach our dreams And everybody's gonna see we're not afraid And now I’ve waited enough I wasted too much time I’m gonna take my chance And taking back what’s… Mine… Mine We were afraid, lost in the shadow The only instrument of our pain and sorrow But now we stand, we crush the elo We're fighting for our destiny, the only one we know We’re walking out of path to see them falling We’re running from the start to make this happen Another star, or a broken fate You know it's do or die, we're not afraid I believe that one day we'll succeed That nothing's gonna take me so deep I can't breathe (We’re not afraid) I wonder that one day we're gonna reach our dreams And everybody's gonna see we're not af… I believe that one day we'll succeed That nothing's gonna take me so deep I can't breathe (We’re not afraid) I wonder that one day we're gonna reach our dreams And everybody's gonna see we're not afraid We were afraid, lost in the shadow But now we stand, this is our story, this is our hope

I had many dreams, many wishes I have always wanted to believe in I had a crumb of hope, a wish for us all Maybe we could solve the fall of our souls They're drowning out, they're drowning down They're falling away from this step we could climb Sitting our bounds, way above this crown Our irrelevance before our eyes will expound I’ve already heard these lines a thousand times But nothing has been done to defy I would love to distract all the tears of the time But no one can destroy his dust eyes I was naïve to think that we could do something I thought that we could all spread our wings Flying into the sky, soaring and ignite Too close to the stars to see everyone We're burning out, we're burning down This Ivory Tower we built, and we found An illusion hiding a disillusion that will Eternally be settled to everything that we could ever try to avoid I’ve already heard these lines a thousand times But nothing has been done to defy I would love to distract all the tears of the time But no one can destroy his dust eyes It’s like a cancer in our lungs, a disease in our skin We will never change no, ‘cause we’re not close to sane It’s like a cancer in our lungs, a disease in our skin Don’t underestimate his power Eternal disillusion, eternal We live we live in an e- (We live we live) We live we live in an e- (We live we live) We live we live in an eternal disillusion I’ve already heard these lines a thousand times But nothing has been done to defy I would love to distract all the tears of the time But no one can destroy his dust eyes I’ve already heard these lines a thousand times But nothing has been done to defy I would love to distract all the tears of the time But no one can destroy his dust eyes

Have you ever felt so frail That you never wanted to feel again? Something is growing in your head And everything you touch turns to feel Inside there’s too much of everything And I, feel like it’s blowing me away I’m levitating over my body My soul is searching for a place I could land When will the sun rise? When will the rest come? I just, aah, wait for the eye of the storm The eye of the storm And I have to find another way And I Have you ever felt so frail That you never wanted to feel again? When even the sound of your breaths Sometimes is trying to kill yourself I’m looking for a way, I’m looking for sail That will take me out of this place, out of this hell But the tempest that is slowly painted there Creates layers way too much intricates Up and down again Taken by the wave I’m waiting for an end I’m buried by the weight And I have to find another way Cause I And I barely fit under This anchor tied on my soul Any pressure on my lungs Could have drowned this crane of crystal And I barely fit under This anchor tied on my soul Any pressure on my lungs Have you ever felt so frail That you never wanted to feel again? I’m living with a crystal crane

I can't find a way, how can I Ever try to save… I've fallen away into this grey Area where everything's uncertain The penumbra that's surrounding myself It's oppressing me, oppressing me I'm like a fish in troubled waters Going and going around in circles But if I'm honest I still see the sunset 'Cause I've never seen as much light in my life than today And I melt away, I melt away Before your eyes and the landscape they hide A whole universe, sweet hazel heavens You're shining in secrecy But how could I, but how could I Ever be flying among those stars If you never know, if I never tell 'Cause I can't find a way, how can I Ever try to save the fallout? I will never say that your mine 'Cause I can't find a way to your heart And I don't know what to say I've tried everything to tell But maybe it's not enough Or maybe I'm just not enough I feel like I've made my best That I simply cannot do more But at least now you are aware But at least now… You seem so far So far away from my heart But how could I be mad at The person that makes me worth of my life All the things you ignore All the steps and even more You forced me to overcome You forced me, you forced me And I melt away, I melt away Before your eyes and the landscape they hide A whole universe, sweet hazel heavens You're shining in fantasy But it has never been a hell of a pain The steps I destroyed were resisting in vain But it has never been a hell of a pain 'Cause it was for you But I can't find a way, how can I Ever try to save the fallout? I will never say that your mine 'Cause I can't find a way to your heart I can't find a way, how can I Ever try to save the fallout? I will never say that your mine 'Cause I can't find a way to your heart

Interlude 00:33
11.
I'm crawling again I'm drowning from the sand Why are we still after all? It's like we always tend to fall, tend to fall You never pretend to fall down They speak of the end, tell me why? We always forget when we drown, when we drown, when we drown You beg me to stand But why after all Buried in the flames Of my broken soul You figured it out, we're all alone But tell me, how could I even tell them? That underneath my skin, there’s nothing's left to believe How could I even breathe? I've been looking in the mirror Where empty eyes were watching You told me to find my way But why didn’t you stay Crying alone in my head lost again and again Maybe it's not for me Maybe it's just an illusion Something that happens to others A heaven for Angels So much blood, so much pain That we put on our hands All the water in the world Couldn't drown our sins I see it crystal clear, my faith is gone When your will is to die The sadness you could cause keeps you alive When I tell you I'm fine Don’t you worry I just wanna be sad Just let me believe Hope makes me survive You never pretend to fall down They speak of the end, tell me why? We always forget when we drown, when we drown, when we drown You never pretend to fall down They speak of the end, tell me why? We always forget when we drown, when we drown, when we drown Emporté par le rythme effréné du temps Submergé par la foule, aux rires semblants Affirmer toutes choses comme si demain était Certitude bancale, que mon cœur refuserait Aussi froid que le sable, dans une nuit d'hiver Corrélation illusoire, bercée par la terre Le ciel nous renvoie à notre condition fragile Des colosses immoraux aux armures d'argile J'avance dans ce monde où rien n'a de sens Porté par l'espoir de notre humble existence Aussi vaine et futile que puisse l'être la vie A la cendre et la neige de tout recouvrir
