lyrics

timid sensations enthralling me – fall for me
cross over – cross out
keep your eyes low
don’t cross me
the quintessence of what is meant to be

a flicker in your tired eyes
the proove that you have seen it too
a spark transcending all the gloom
a glimpse of what is bane and boon

the faster you run
the harder you burn
scars you earn
things to learn
always concerned

you don´t want to turn around to face your fear
the look in your eyes would impact fine on my mind

noises in my head
a wish for silence is wearing me out
i tried to turn them off
but they went back on again
i run as hard as i can to get them off
to get them out of my head
i want them dead
i want them all gone

time for transition
breaking free – breaking thee
snap fingers – snap bones
violent thoughts – let it be
is it worth it? let it be
a notion that’s still coming back to me
question norm, question authority
the mantra that keeps crashing down on me

the faster you run
the harder you burn
scars you earn
things to learn
always concerned

you don´t want to turn around to face your fear
the look in your eyes would impact fine on my mind

noises in my head
a wish for silence has taken my youth
i tried to turn them off
but they went back on again
i run as hard as i can
to get them off
to get them out of my head
i want them dead
i want them all gone

the sun comes up
still aware of thee
with her rays in my eyes
it cracks down on me
the sensations so strong
i can barely breath
as i run
toward the light
inside my mind
my pace is getting steadier
when all the sudden
pain blooms in my head
i falter as
i feel the synapses snap
the hive’s agony
echos through my brain
without turning back
i go on until
all collective awareness fades away
i can feel the loss of the newborn
while catching my breath i feel a new sun
dawning inside my skull
it´s done
i’ve escaped from my own sound mind
