Intro 01:08
2.
You're everything I've known So tell me where to go I know I don't belong here anymore These paths that I've roamed They never took me home You told me once: "You'll reap what you sow when you forget what you've known to be true in your soul" The loved ones left behind already know This distance that's grown there's nowhere to go Oh my fallen friend you're in this heart of mine with everything unsaid the door is shut Although I'm standing here The way is so unclear So tell me the truth The truth inside the lie Show me the truth Seek and you shall find Fear in peace of mind the truth inside the lie
3.
If I stop then I will sink Bring me to the brink of exhaultation take some more then I will think maybe it's just an exaggeration Do I need more than I can give? Maybe I should make a cancellation but I can't hide from all these things I can't halt my animation If there's a will there's a way that I can find (You know you're right) A cure for galore of deadened eyes (You know you're right) I'm in need of belief and wondering why You know I'm pushing against the tides Again It crawls deep under my skin yet I ignore out of obligation for it's easy to begin to think that it's all a fabrication but when it hits I'm feeling sick I reach for air that's non-existant so farewell to this sinking ship I'll go down with no resistance If there's a will there's a way but I can't find (you know you're right) A cure for galore of deadened eyes (you know you're right) I'm in need of belief and wondering why you know I'm pushing against the tides Yeah you want more than I can give but it's no cure for this situation Yeah you want more than I can give but this life's no simulation Yeah you want more than I can give but I'm needing this motivation for I'm pushing against the tides again
4.
You're a disguise, you're a river of ice again remember how the water used to flow out from your heart and into our lives but all along was a song that you had to sing along A sweet melody was your only friend your fake friends knew the words pushed the buttons till it hurt hands were tied again and you froze away to the void but you're beautiful and you could start again Fall in love again with yourself Your soul suicide changed nobodies minds as you tried to fill the void on your own What were you searching for, what were you trying to find? As you froze every burning bridge behind but you're beautiful and you can start again fall in love again with yourself you're in disguise you're a river of ice again frozen underneath to the self Tell me why can't you give another try you could start again win the war against yourself You've been disguised you're river of ice again flow it underneath to the self you're beautiful and you can start again fall in love again with yourself you're in disguise, a river of ice again frozen underneath to the self Oh why, tell me why can't you give another try you could start again win the war against yourself you've been disguised under rivers of ice again flow it underneath to the self

No More Pain 01:56
We had long ago A search for maturity and finality In teenage bliss, something amiss A cry for more that's in us all Our friends so tall We watched them fall Wanting no more pain.
6.
A message from the water; Hi, I'm here I'm underneath I know I was to call you the other day sometime last week with all this fake it till you make it I have lost my will to take it So have a smile from me So have a kiss from me So have a smile, from me and have some time away from me A message from the water; Wish you were here, the water's clear cause I'm down here in a world of my own So have a smile from me So have a kiss from me So have a smile, from me and have some time away from me
7.
The Rain 04:10
You hide your loneliness with smiles that you bring The truth you'll never give away You can't fight the emptiness but you'll fake it to be the way that everyone expects This solitariness This wall that you've built You're only trying to forget Dont hide in loneliness the highest of walls will never shelter from the storm I know they never understand with black mirrors in hand distracted from this broken land but when it all comes crashing down when you fall to the ground I'll sing your name I'll be around but here comes the rain here comes the rain Here comes the rain We're calling out your name Here comes the rain Here comes the shame Here comes the blame put on yourself in vain Here comes the rain Here comes the rain to wash away the pain Here comes the rain Don't hide in loneliness the highest of walls will never shelter from the storm cause here comes the rain here comes the rain here comes the rain we're calling out your name here comes the rain
8.
In the sky I had a vision, spiralling, endless eyes were watching me I thought I had all the answers that I believed but nothing's ever what it seems Down the road I saw the people drowning in all their woes, an endless sea and In the house I see the family, silently living out their past in dreams Where do I go from here my friend? I'm lost for words at history's edge cause I can't forget and I can't pretend that I'll ever be the same again
9.
Laying down in the dark Trying to find a new way I'm tranquilized while the horses are all out to play But I'm awake so could we talk again? I've made mistakes yeah Time after time, every way We're all looking for that transcendant perfect day It won't come true but will you be my friend? I'm at the bottom of a hole in vain I'll crawl my way out just to feel the rain I got nothing but a memory with your name What could I say? Well It's the Season of regret For all those things I can't forget You're just a movie in my head of everything I wish I could've said I spent so many nights trying to find some new belief in myself I've got a hole in my soul and I'm lost, I'm somewhere else It's all to waste cause nothing feels the same I'm locked inside a daydream haze I'm cinematic in a picture frame I know nothing ever lasts this part of me that's past But it's the season of regret For all those things I can't forget You're just a movie in my head of everything I wish I could've said It's all a movie in my head That plays until Until we meet again
10.
I'm stuck with loss of vision for what's to come from what's been going on where I've come from but these steps I take now are for you As I say goodbye to you.
