The Flood (Music Video Edit)
The Flood (Music Video Edit)We've seen better days Say we bleed the same, the lies repeating What a life to waste In the dissonance of people screaming Revealing we're living in despair Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending Why are we so condescending? After us the flood And in the world so cold and so demanding There can be no happy ending After us the flood Did we miss the sign? How could we ignore all premonitions? Faulty by design It's implied we're faultless but our ambitions Are vicious, we’re going to lose it all Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending Why are we so condescending? After us the flood And in the world so cold and so demanding There can be no happy ending After us the flood It’s in my head It’s something I can’t stand Tell me how dare we Treat everyone with disrespect Why do we assume without a doubt We’re the ones this planet spins around It goes without saying The levees are breaking Forever we’ll bear what cannot be undone Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending Why are we so condescending? After us the flood And in the world so cold and so demanding There can be no happy ending After us the flood

Talking To Myself
Talking To Myself"Talking To Myself" is a chilling inner monologue of a man whose tireless ambitions have left him in a perpetual state of angst. LYRICS: Tell me, tell me, where is the life I’ve been searching for, but cannot find Please convince me I should be satisfied With the so-called achievements of humankind In their eyes, I see a darkness In your mind, they’re all deceiving If I took their lies for kindness Would you tell me to forgive them? If I asked about my past would you say You saw it coming? Don’t know how I made it up here, but so did you Without ever trying For a moment I felt free and I knew That only you could help Can you hear me when I scream your name? Or am I talking to myself Just talking to myself Yeah Save me, save me, I’m dying to be But I’m becoming someone I just can’t stand Maybe I can teach you how to breathe Maybe you can teach me to understand In my mind, there’s a search for answers All I hear is the silence If I asked about my past would you say You saw it coming? Don’t know how I made it up here, but so did you Without ever trying For a moment I felt free and I knew That only you could help Can you hear me when I scream your name? Or am I talking to myself Just talking to myself I can’t change you or make you care It wouldn’t hurt if you could try When I need help, you’re never there Am I not worthy of your time? And though you don’t believe in me I still believe in you But don’t ask me why If I asked about my past would you say You saw it coming? Don’t know how I made it up here, but so did you Without ever trying For a moment I felt free and I knew That only you could help Can you hear me when I scream your name? Can you hear me when I scream your name? x2 Just talking to myself x3 I’m talking to myself

May Leave Scars
May Leave Scars“May Leave Scars” is about people who are truly talented but don’t have patience and persistence to really have their talents shine to the fullest potential. This song won The John Lennon Songwriting Contest in Rock category and became a semi-finalist at the International Songwriting Contest. LYRICS: Breathe in, breathe out The weight of the world has grown too much You took the easy way out But I’ve never been one to hold a grudge You’ve given up On everything we believed, now you are so out of touch You tell me they can go to hell Nobody cares, nobody wants, nobody needs to hear your story It’s so full of bull excuses, I can tell In loser’s words it’s always better to be safe than sorry Say that stars don’t shine anymore And the light in your eyes looks faded Breathing may leave scars But something you should know If you tried, you could’ve made it Say that nothing is as good as before And our chances were slim to none Breathing may leave scars But something you should know The best is yet to come Within, without a dream, Your life became a nightmare Swallowed by doubt Now all I see is the ghost of you here A runaround For all of your friends Who stood by watching you disappear You tell me they can go to hell Nobody cares, nobody wants, nobody needs to hear your story It’s so full of bull excuses, I can tell In loser’s words it’s always better to be safe than sorry Say that stars don’t shine anymore And the light in your eyes looks faded Breathing may leave scars But something you should know If you tried, you could’ve made it Say that nothing is as good as before And our chances were slim to none Breathing may leave scars But something you should know The best is yet to come

Another Illusion
Another IllusionHave you ever been in a long-distance relationship? Have you felt the pain of loving someone without being able to see or touch them? This song is for you. LYRICS: I know it’s not that easy To see things for what they are Not how we always thought they’d be To live your life and feel time As it slips through your fingers It’s taking you away from me I have so much to tell you But I don’t know if I can Nothing I say makes any sense I’d change it all, don’t know how It’s all I think about now Something you’ll never comprehend Always useless Another illusion You know, it’s getting harder Resisting what’s in my head I have to face it every day I try so hard to stay strong I’m trying not to lose faith But you can’t trust a thing I say I’m sorry that I’ve hurt you Sometimes I just can’t explain All of the choices that I make Yet you refuse to let go You keep me close and I know If all else fails, you’ll remain Always useless *A fleeting moment of hope x2* Another illusion *A fleeting moment of hope x2* Always useless *A fleeting moment of hope x2* Another illusion *A fleeting moment of hope x2* I’m sorry that I’ve hurt you Sometimes I just can’t explain All of the choices that I make Yet you refuse to let go You keep me close and I know If all else fails, you’ll remain

Living Your Life Like This
Living Your Life Like This"Major Moment whips up an alt-industrial storm as buzzsaw guitars and laser-guided synths aim to swallow you whole" - Impose. LYRICS: Day by day You’ve taken life for granted But today The choice is yours to change it I’m unable to explain Why are we living in vain Why do we do what we’re told Instead of what we want One by one Surrounded and divided But I’m done I can no longer hide it So get this into your head This rise and run never ends Is this how you live your life Head down, never asking why? Buried in the crowd Digging my way out This machine won’t stop Until we pull it apart A part of someone else’s plan controlling You living your life like this Go on and behave Becoming nothing but their slave What brings me to my knees is knowing You’re living your life like this Rules to ditch We’re trading theirs for ours Make them rich By working after hours You need to keep this in mind: These hands aren’t all that they bind The years will leave you behind You will find Rotten to the top It will chew you up This machine won’t stop Until we pull it apart A part of someone else’s plan controlling You living your life like this Go on and behave Becoming nothing but their slave What brings me to my knees is knowing You’re living your life like this (WORK, EAT) There must be more to this life (SLEEP, REPEAT) You must be feeling deprived (WORK, EAT) The seed they planted too deep (SLEEP) To just work, eat and sleep (Won’t stop…) This machine won’t stop Until we pull it apart A part of someone else’s plan controlling You living your life like this Go on and behave Becoming nothing but their slave What brings me to my knees is knowing You’re living your life like this

How Would You Know?
How Would You Know?The ones I love surrounding me, Friends and family. I wanna cry. Feeling everything I've felt Should’ve asked for help, But I can't even try. Their hands upon my shoulders, They feel so crushing. They tell me to relax, but That's not easy for me. I’m racing now for cover Hope that they won’t see the real me Oh, I can’t fight this feeling, It brings me to my knees, and These thoughts they won’t let go of me. I’m bruised without a beating, I’m cut without bleeding, Ripping out your hearts to get free. It’s not your fault I’m not being The things that you've needed, At least you can say you tried. And if I stop making sense When my pain gets too intense, It's just swallowing me up inside, But how would you know? I don’t want to share these thoughts, They’re the fog that floats Inside my head. A voice I don’t wanna hear Whispers in my ear: This could be the end. I guess I’ll take a chance And deal with this on my own. Don’t wanna make you think I’m not the person you’ve known. Don’t take it too hard, I’ll keep you outside, for the time. Oh, I can’t fight this feeling, It brings me to my knees, and These thoughts they won’t let go of me. I’m bruised without a beating, I’m cut without bleeding, Ripping out your hearts to get free. It’s not your fault I’m not being The things that you've needed, At least you can say you tried. And if I stop making sense When my pain gets too intense, It's just swallowing me up inside, But how would you know?

What It's Like
What It's LikeWatching people come and go, Who will stay till the end? Wish I could have taken back What I said, but I can’t. But truth be told I’m not The one who fell apart, I never wanted any kind of confrontation. And I’m not gonna stop, Try to call my bluff You will discover it’s all in your imagination We’re not the same, I’ve had to fight. You’ll never know just what I’ve had to get through. So get on your way, don’t ever look back. Don’t even pretend like you have nothing to lose. Mesmerizing carousel, Spinning, we never change It feels like my train of thought Must have spun off the rails The ones I’ve left behind, Scalded in my mind. I’m burdened by the guilt for those who couldn’t make it. But still, the more I know The less I want to feel If you knew where this road leads, you’d know why I had to take it. We’re not the same, I’ve had to fight. You’ll never know just what I’ve had to get through. So get on your way, don’t ever look back. Don’t even pretend like you have nothing to lose. We’re not the same, I’ve had to fight. You’ll never know just what I’ve had to get through. So get on your way, don’t ever look back. Don’t even pretend like you have nothing to lose.

Mistakes
MistakesThe last thing I recall, the sun and the snow, Your fingers felt so cold, You warmed them in my hands as the daylight faded. It feels so long ago, where are we now? I don’t know how, But I can almost feel all my intentions failing. Let’s pretend that we Can stop this faking. Hold me like you need me, Hold me like the world is ending. Watching your eyes well up from what I’ve put you through. You carry the weight, believing you’re supposed to. Meaningless words, I’ve seen them scar and bruise. I don’t mean to hurt you, I don’t mean to hurt you, But I always do. If I could only stop being so insecure, Making my affliction yours. The screaming in my head, so loud I feel it caving. Please let me recant, and start over now. I don’t know how, But I can almost feel all my intentions failing. Let’s pretend that we Can stop this faking. Hold me like you need me, Hold me like the world is ending. Watching your eyes well up from what I’ve put you through. You carry the weight, believing you’re supposed to. Meaningless words, I’ve seen them rip right through. I don’t mean to hurt you, I don’t mean to hurt you. But I always do.

Before It's Too Late
Before It's Too LateWe're living our lives without someone to guide us. Are we making a choice or blindly leading the way? Believing the lies that they blatantly told us, We're trapped on this stage without roles we can play. Drifting through days we try and muster a purpose, Doubting the notion that there’s one to be had. It's too bad we only see what lies on the surface, It's sick we're so quick to judge and to be misled. All we want is to know Is whether we can keep it in our control. Or should we just let go And fall... Every day gets washed away In the rush of our routine. Quickly changing like the frames In a movie we have seen. How can we take it anymore? It’s getting old to sit and wait We better take it in our hands Before it's too late. Often I think of how fragile our lives are On this little planet, we call our home. We think that we’re clever and sure to get wiser Without even knowing if we’re all alone. So the story goes on, We die before we are born. Never leaving a thing behind for them To hold on to When we’re gone. Every day gets washed away In the rush of our routine. Quickly changing like the frames In a movie we have seen. How can we take it anymore? It’s getting old to sit and wait We better take it in our hands Before it's too late.
