Prologue
07:15
|
|

|
I wake up. It's hot
I've been shaken up by my thoughts
I need to take control
Take control again
So I can sleep
I need AC so I can sleep all day
Write down my dreams so they won't go away
All day I read, learn all the different ways
'Til I succeed
Three more days
Three more days until I
Must go back out into this world
There's a role to fulfill
But the road it goes uphill
Just let me sleep
Everyday
Everyday I learn new ways
To take control
Take control of all my dreams
But in two days
In two more days it all starts again
Can the night help me then?
One more day
One more day in paradise
It's getting late
Getting late and I shut my eyes
I'm taking control
Taking control of all my dreams
I feel at home
Until that sound in the morning
It rings

Day 1
08:09
|
|
||
|
The Sun shines in my eyes
The curtains are wide open, just like everyday
And looking in the light
I know it all will start again, it's all the same
I wish I could go on
Alone with all my thoughts and feelings in a dream
But there's no end I know
It will not change, life will go on, no matter what
I wake up, get ready for work
Stand under the shower and think back to the night
But it's getting late, so I better get going
Run out the door, I'll have breakfast on the go
Through the glass door of the bakery
I see her and run
They're staring at me
Judgement in their eyes
Let me work from home, let me work alone
Time for a break, time to leave this place
Safe for now
Thinking back
But it goes on
More hours to come
The only thing
I can do
Is watch the clock
And wait
I can't stay here
Forever
It's time to go
Back to work
I have to face
The world again
But when I'm done
I'll go home and sleep

Waking Up
06:26
|
|

Something is different
Something is wrong
What happened last night
Help me now
Without this gift
I cannot face
All the anxiety
And misery
And the stare
Of the eyes of this world
I will not leave this room
No job, no friend can change my mind
But there is one thing that can
The essence of sleepless dreams
My mouth is dry, my skin is crawling
My body inside out
Missed four days of my existence
And lost so many more
But here we go again
Stop this madness
Someone pull me out
Something is different
Something is wrong
What happened last night
Help me now
Something is different
Something is wrong
What happened last night
Help me now
Stop this madness
Someone pull me out
Stop! (x6)

Web of Lies
04:00
|
|
||
|
I was afraid and so alone
I need to find a new home
The web of lies could suit me well
The web of lies and bliss and lust
I see a picture of a land
I want to visit and I can
I want to feed off people's rage
I want to reach them through their hate
I want to give in to my lust
I want to find a thing to trust
I want to have and own and be
I want to connect with things that speak
Turn around she said she said
Look around she said she said
(x4)
I was afraid but not alone
I need to find a new home

Real
02:53
|
|
||
|
What are you trying to say to me?
Are you the answer to the many times I've cried out
To life, to the skies, to everywhere?
Are you even real?
In time I believe I can change, I can change
But not alone, I need your guidance
But how and why and what is in it for you?
Are you even real?
Show me your face and tell me it is true
If truth is even a thing that we can see
But if it's not, what does it matter anyway?
If it is not why am here and not out there?
Oh God, I am set free!
If we can't know what's real how can I even care?
We can win, we can win, this battle in my mind
I will go out and fight

Try Again
05:43
|
|
||
|
The sun is shining bright and I know
This is my day
This sudden urge to go outside
For no reason at all
She tells me all the things that I can do
And I want to do 'em all
So let me try something new
Fearless I walk
Fearless until
I stop
Nothing is ever as easy as it seems
Why is nothing ever as easy as it seems?
Next time
It will be different
Oh, next time
I know it will be alright
Nothing is ever as easy as it seems
Why is nothing ever as easy as it seems?
Nothing is ever as easy as it seems
Why is nothing ever as easy as it seems?
Step by step I need to grow
Step by step I need to learn
(8x)
Every day I try a little harder
Every day it gets a little better
But everyday I want it to go faster
Every day
So many days
Every day I try a little harder
Every day it gets a little better
But every day I want it to go faster
Every day
So many days

Gone
04:08
|
|
||
|
If life would stay this way forever
I would never complain again
This struggle is one that is worth fighting and I
Don't ever want to go back again
This sinking feeling
That she'll never answer again
It's been so long
It always seemed like I
Did not deserve what I had
But why now?
What did I do?
Where are you now?
Can you hear me?
I need you
Don't leave me now (x4)
Gone
I looked everywhere
But I'm alone
And ready to give it all up
And say goodbye
To no one at all
Where are you now?
Can you hear me?
I need you
Where are you now?
Can you hear me?
I need you

Another Chance
05:47
|
|
||
|
It feels so familiar
Like I never left this way of life
Once again I could see a world
That I once loved and always will
I turn around and smile, it feels like home
Don't want to get up
Don't want to go out
Maybe this is all I am
It all comes back
It all comes back
Like a cave within my mind
Where I can hide, I can hide
It was a place I couldn't find
For such a long, long time
I am afraid, no, I know
That I will lose it again
I have lost control
If I ever had it
Every time I think I'm fine
It's all an illusion
Holding on
To things that never last
Must end now
Or I will never change
Holding on
To my lonely past
Must end now
Or I will never change
Holding on to what I'm dreaming (x4)
Holding on to what I'm dreaming (x4)

Breathe
05:40
|
|
||
|
Ten thousand hours
It should take
Ten thousand hours
But I have lived
So many more
Why do I still fail at life?
I want to feel
What others feel
Everyday
I want to reach
For all that seems
So far away
I want to see
How far it goes
And what it takes
I want to breathe
The slowest breath
Of summer air
I want to feel
Another soul close to mine
I want to reach
Through the void
Another time
I want to see
Another's eyes as clear as mine
I want to breathe
Let me breathe
In a narrow clearing
I get a glimpse
Of what life could be
And what I can change from within
I know
It's not as easy as it seems
But if I try
I might just succeed
I want to feel
What others feel
Everyday
I want to reach
For all that seems
So far away
I want to see
How far it goes
And what it takes
I want to breathe
|

Everywhere I Go
06:14
|
|
||
|
I'd like to make an offer
To the world
I will let you hurt me
If you promise that I learn
From my mistakes and all the risks I take
Everywhere I turn
I know it won't be easy
Nothing ever is
And I cannot depend
On anyone or anything
But every step I take
I'll be closer to my dream of being free
This positivity
Will start to fade again I know
Oh, but that doesn't mean
That I can't enjoy it
But I have to be prepared
And I have to take in all I can
And I have to be aware
Of where I am going
I'll take this feeling
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
I'll take this wisdom
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
I know it won't be easy
Nothing ever is
And I cannot depend
On anyone or anything
But every step I take
I'll be closer to my dream of being free
I'll take this feeling
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
I'll take this wisdom
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
