The Seeker 04:24
I know doors are locked and I know thieves are far but last night in my dreams I bled like I was the victim It's too late for our time to be completed I chose to forget you This time there'll be no space for two My time has arrived, Night visits this lonely bird I am No cage will protect me for Night's teeth graze my feathers This city's a predator, swallowing us down A snake's inside with powerful colors We can't escape our own grave This fascination's safe, feast in its decay Inside you I seethe please, release me Without you I hide I'm dry, you fill me To seek was my destiny To find presence full of peace You're here, I have to let it go so I can start the search one more time

Belong 06:24
They say I'm crazy, but I know they're insane their eyes looking at me, but I can see through them You and me don't belong to this world we have been casted in another mold We're orphaned children waiting for a home This land has been frozen long ago and it's full of zombies that devour our souls You and me don't belong to this world we have been casted in another mold don't be a victim of this game Behind your solipsism Create a mask, keeps you from shame The line that separates you Behind this ocean of blind hate From them's imaginary We are all the same

We are always moving Crocodiles, elephants Following the river to the north In the shade I am Hydrogen I am In the air I am Oxygen I am We have to feed the giants penetrate their insides We have to feed the giants their mouths are open wide In the shade I am Hydrogen I am Can I reencarnate? In the air I am Oxygen I am Can I become flesh? I don't want to I don't need to I'm afraid to I am always here and will always be "Here" is where I am "There" is where I'm not Two are the ways of happiness One says seek, the other says conform But this one does not search happiness, but content Content is the highest will of zen Unsatisfaction is result of nonconform Come dear Come to my ear, come come here come near Be silent my musketeer, go be violent be clear

Tiny Eyes 02:53
Tiny eyes are made of justice they want us to pay your crown Tiny eyes can see us naked smiling wide behind their frowns Tiny eyes, tiny eyes Tiny eyes condemn your pocket It is fair to make them rich so they can have fun with our wives and be allowed to hire a witch Tiny eyes, tiny eyes
5.
Snowman 03:39
I gave you life, my snowman wild fruit, ice and a hat He's got a smile, but no heart I'll plant one so to fill the gap. Finally the berry's grown Ice's melted, spring's already come Evaporating he is gone Clouds took him away, will he return? Inside the freezer his heart waits for the winter, for the snow But I don't know Will he ever be the same? Will the clouds bring back the flame? My heart is awakening Can you hear its fiery call? Can you feel me burning? Your ice is my only hope
6.
Throw the dice and look under the table, this number is the chosen one Sometimes truth is in the dark face Fate is released from this vast mace From this eye, I watch you from the side and all I see is dry, please irrigate your mind From nearby, I guard you close and tight and all I taste is blight, corrupted field of lies Sand is blowing into the gaps of life remains are covered and forgotten Dig the centuries out of the hourglass bones are hiding in the inside Pirates sailing back to their land and the loot is so pristine singing to their children about the island potpourries Come, sing with us, dance and drink for us, Lorene Sins are left behind and they don't know you exist
7.
Astronaut 05:30
Astronaut, far beyond the clouds wants to know what's behind this shroud Tenuous red giant, loneliest among the stars Astronaut, take me where you are let's die here, where no one else is crowned The most glorious sun has no planets around Come down, back to the earth where you belong, my bright satellite Shed light, maybe your own and move us a step closer to the sun Inmensity is jail Did you create all this? Did you confine yourself? A maker is never free Trapped observer, watcher of the everchanging beauty in the universe years far away Come down, back to the earth where you belong, my bright satellite Shed light, maybe your own and move us a step closer to the sun Come blind our eyes Come blind our eyes Come flood our minds Come flood our minds We are now your acolytes burning in your nebula
8.
Defeat 06:32
With these eyes I can fight With these fists I can cry Magic imbued body, useless scum This is all I have to give Why do I have to give you up? Great sun, guide my fire slow us down, hold my reins Cause i'm your horse and he‘s my squire who taints my armor with the light of day Weapons were set aside shields drift away with the tide No defense hides the shame Though we fought there was nothing to gain
9.
Sip of Light 06:22
Drown in his mind lost deep inside blinded by images his head displays drown in the stories his mad brain creates he sees nothing of the world around but someone's calling you she's calling you Tears in fire Poison down your throat runs Rain's denial Poison down your throat slowly runs He's now alive he took a sip of light and one more time he knows there's no way back there's no way out out of the voice, loud, calling for life He's in the mud but he's alright he feels no need, now, to step outside but down he goes, down deep he drowns trapped is the worm in honey-mud and soon his wings will grow Tears in fire Poison down your throat runs Rain's denial Her invisible cobweb is near Wings of water Cruel portrait of desire Feed the spider A bed hiding a coffin Travel with me into the core I will choose the longest way to infinite skies burning inside cosmic caves Travel with me into the core into universe’s mind Will this union grant us inmortality?
