Break through the barriers of lust.
So we can see what it means.
To separate us from the lifes we are forced to live.
But I could just run away.
Away from this horrific place.
Will I survive without you?
'Cause there is no way,
that you'll come with me.
This house is built on sand.
The golden walls are crumbling down.
We thought it would bring us fortune.
But we've drowned in the tears of our God.
Return to your mother,
Because she has been sad.
Ever since, you've left.

Into Wilderness

I've gone off into the wild.
Where my thoughts have found their place.
It's so easy, leaving all of this behind.
My tears have turned into these beautiful rivers,
where the unclean can wash away their sins.
I heard your whispering in the wind,
and it sounded so inviting to me.
I heard your whispering in the wind,
and if it is real, then what is there to fear?
My anxiety dwells underground,
between the roots that support their trees.
Hope arises within me.
My heart is healed, my heart is healed.
All I need, is a place to rest my head.
When the sun goes down.
I will fall asleep.
Where I've always,
Needed to be.

Escapism

I've been fighting off demons that keep me from sleeping.
Over and over again, they haunt me till I wake up.
From sleeping, it was all a bad dream.
But nobody knows, nobody knows, what I've been going through.
I wonder, will this ever end?
And will they let me back in if they could read my mind?
Will they hesitate if I'm abandoned and alone?
I've been roaming these streets for way too long.
Asking myself where did I go wrong?
I've been trying to break the walls we've built.
Only to find out that I just failed.
So where did I go wrong?
I must've lost the way somewhere.
All I'm asking you.
Is to be a light, to guide me through.
The dark and hazy forest.
Unto the path, that will lead me.
To composure, to eternity.
Will I make it out alive?
I'm writing you this song,
In hope that you might hear.
Because I'm lost in time,
and I can only fear.
The darkness that could fill up my mind.
And drag me away from you.
And that you might, leave me behind.

Emptiness is filling me...
I am lost in emptiness.
I am drowning in distress.
I'm still running through the forest.
But I can't see what lies beyond.
If this is a dream, please wake me up.
Because I don't feel like I am living.
And I can't stop.
Keep running...

Yes, I have made it through the night.
And I am finally free again.
I'll be coming home.
I only hope that if I die,
that you'll remember me
when you look up to the sky.
