Prelude 01:44
2.
I'm not quite alive. Instead, an empty shell Sorrow and emptiness, I've grown to know so well Hollowed out existence. Unable to see The light of this world, I constantly bleed. Help me see, help me feel the light and the love at last. Help me say, "I'm okay, this pain's a thing of the past." From the ashes help me rise no longer lifeless, I have life. Charred and torn inside, with my rusted heart I remain in shambles, not knowing where to start As I'm broken down, please be here for me. Put me back together, to live finally. Lifeless to life is what I yearn for.

Tear away the remnants of what I used to be Following these stagnant truths, rendering this buried youth Now wrought and scarred with atrophy Purge from me these blinded eyes, this comatose semblance of life Where aspirations once died I’ll no longer live this way, there must be more to life than this. Arise from this mindless state. There must be more to life than this. The time is now to break away, from the faceless majority. Lividity is certain here. Tear away the remnants of what I used to be Claw though this path made by fools Corrupting regression, ignorance, indolence

My Turn 04:17
I see them walking down the road Hand in hand their eyes like gold Shining with the love I see within I see the way you look at her The way you laugh at what she says It makes me smile and yet I still feel it That tiny pinprick in my soul It's not that I want to take you from her It's not that you're not quite the catch But every now and then I start thinking when is it my turn to feel the warmth With every day that passes by Days turn to months and turn to years I try to stay happy and light Surrounded by the ones I love Still every now and then again My heart starts to beat and long For something more than I know when we Finally meet and live together forever Is it as they say, or is it all just a dream A dream that may never come true Sometimes I think I'm better off on my own But every now and then I start thinking when is it my turn When is it my turn to feel what you do when you are loved? When is it my turn to never feel alone again When will it be my turn to feel the warmth? When is it my turn -to feel the warmth of somebody's arms When is it my turn -to feel the spark of love again When is it my turn- to hold on and know she won't let go When is it my turn- will the time never be mine?

Worlds don’t merge they just collide in the night sky And though you may wish on a star, you still stuck where you are You’re so far away from home When did it come down to this? You’re trapped in an abyss And though you fight against the sight, can you stop the night? Can you find your way back home? You can try to fix this mess But it’s all up in your head You’re your own enemy And you can fight with all your might But you’re still stuck, it’s not right to be where you are Demons haunt your every step; they’ll take your very breath But look and see who’s in their place, you’ll see it’s your own face And now you just can’t make it home. You can try to fix this mess But it’s all up in your head You’re your own enemy And you can fight with all your might But you’re still stuck, it’s not right to be where you are, away from home Away from home Cause you’ve been crying and trying, you’re fighting To find your way back home, to find where you belong You don’t have to fix this mess There is one who holds your breath And he waits patiently Stop and close your weary eyes Know he holds you by his side Now you don’t have to be away from home

Strangers 04:31
When did we become strangers I miss who we were before When did we become strangers it’s like I don’t know you anymore You were my everything The place that I ran to I’m still in love with you now I don’t know when we have changed Yet time passed us by and we Slowly we fell apart I miss the days when I had you to myself but you’re a different person now Can’t we just patch it up I wish that we could go back but I just don’t know how
8.
So many long years since our paths in life have crossed Through thick and thin, we faced it all. Here we are, once again But so much has changed, it's not quite the same and it's not quite right Since when did you become so cold? Our ties have withered away After all this time, nothing's left. Nothing remains. After all this time, all we had is now dead and gone. So many long years since we've talked face to face What did I say? What have you done? Where did it all go wrong? This aftermath has left in me a painful wound inside What can I say? What can I do? Can it still be salvaged? Where has it all gone wrong? What have we now become? Is there something that can be done? How did we just go fall apart? Can't we just go back to the start? So many long years since our paths in life have crossed These former ties that used to be, once called immutable After all this time, they crumbled down and fell to pieces All we had is now dead and gone

Stigma 05:04
Wallow in shame for sins I’ve done Heart’s riddled with denial throughout all the years I’ve been living a lie Sorrow- It haunts me constantly This is my curse I now pay the price Regrets as thorns, these constant reminders They’re choking me, persist in consuming me Remorse persists, and guilt survives, can no longer leave it all behind Scars of the past will never die remain until they bury me alive Failures Transgressions Their consequence is mine to bear These blackened memories won’t fade And from my conscience bleeds Of thoughts and of words too little too late Attempts to reconcile Were never enough, they’ll never be enough Not even time can mend these wounds As my atonement am I To shoulder these bleak aftermaths Throughout the rest of my own life
10.
She woke me up and brought me from my deadened life Filled with unrest and bitter angst that pierced through my heart For the first time I felt true love I never dreamed it would ever fade away As time passed us by Distance has torn us apart But I swear to you We'll meet again and this sorrow shall end What can I give to be with her And finally be alive

Closer 03:46
身近にある物 常に気を付けていないと 余りに近すぎて 見失ってしまいそう あなたが最近体験した 幸せは一体何ですか? 恵まれすぎていて 思い出せないかも! 今ここにいる事 息をしている事 ただそれだけの事が 奇跡だと気付く 身近にある物 常に気を付けていないと 余りに近すぎて 見失ってしまいそう You know the closer you get to something The tougher it is to see it And I'll never take it for granted Let's go 人助けを偽善と 呼ぶ奴等もいるけれど 信じるのも疑うのも 人それぞれだから たとえ仮にそれが 偽善であったとしても 誰かを救えたなら そりゃむしろ何よりもリアル 追い続けてきた夢 あきらめずに進めよなんて キレイ事を言えるほど 何も出来ちゃいないけど 一握りの勇気を胸に 明日を生き抜くために And I'll never take it for granted Let's go 身近にある物 常に気を付けていないと 余りに近すぎて 見失ってしまいそう You know the closer you get to something The tougher it is to see it And I'll never take it for granted 追い続けてきた夢 あきらめずに進めよなんて キレイ事を言えるほど 何も出来ちゃいないけど 一握りの勇気を胸に 明日を生き抜くために And I'll never take it for granted Let's go

Pokemon 03:35
I want to be the very best Like no one ever was To catch them is my real test To train them is my cause I will travel across the land Searching far and wide Teach Pokemon to understand The power that's inside Pokemon Gotta catch em' all It's you and me I know it's my destiny Pokemon Oh, you're my best friend In a world we must defend Pokemon Gotta catch em' all A heart so true Our courage will pull us through You teach me and I'll teach you Pokemon Gotta catch em' all Every challenge along the way With courage I will face I will battle every day, To claim my rightful place Come with me, the time is right There's no better team Arm in arm, we'll win the fight It's always been our dream
13.
Born from the light - journey into the Moment, delivered from thought and sky He will be one, one with the land - Lord of wind and the sea and the sands The one - The bringer of life All will bear a part of me - let this Hollow shell set your free to live as one Here we are - Children of sun and stars The first to know and to understand Living by the Law of the Ages Prophets and sages - forging Utopia Great Ptah - Khnemu - sacred priest of The Temple of Ra and the keeper of truth Crystalline spheres, the power of light, Grant us keys to the stars and the secrets of flight Five shall be as One We unlock the mysteries of Knowledge and technology Here we are - Children of sun and stars The first to know and to understand Living by the Law of the Ages Prophets and sages - forging Utopia We shall live forever, and cast out those less divine Gods we will be - rulers of the sea - in our Grand design Here we are - Children of sun and stars The first to know and to understand Living by the Law of the Ages Prophets and sages - forging Utopia
