Download PDF bookletI. In Tides I Wake
breathe • open your eyes • washed away • back from the tides
speechless • the fears i refuse • to acknowledge (choking) • begin to manifest • holding out holding on • to a delusion (seeing colors)
desolation tightens its hold • losing track of time • days begin to blur together • no longer feeling alive • decay degrade
saturated • drifting apart • carried away
a prisoner of the open seas • drifting restless, alone • far far away
• from me • far from the living
hopeless • soaking and drifting • praying to sink (choking) • floating, fading • letting go, moving on • to a delusion (seeing colors) • desolation washes over • losing track of time • days begin to blur together •
no longer feeling alive • decay degrade
saturated • drifting apart • carried away
pulled out to sea • we wake to a rising tide
we tried to fight the waves • the current carried us away
drowning in self-made misery
II. In Crude I Remain
waking to a world in ruins •
everything i've known stripped away
waking up to a world alone •
every single seed i've sown has been washed away
unfamiliar with my surroundings • this place is now shrouded, encased, and soaked in black • unfamiliar with my surroundings • the haze permeates, it’s overwhelming • surrounded and sunk, • sopping and sluggish • inhaling crude, regrettably i remain
wretchedness • take me • bring me home to sleep • sweet release
unbalanced • abandoned • unsteady • i remain blank
searching, wandering • trying to find my way • hopelessly • drifting and carried away • searching, wandering • trying to find my way • hopelessly drifting and carried away
unbalanced • abandoned • unsteady • i remain
save me • free me • save me • hades • save me • take me
III. In Depths I Sink
serpentine tongues deceive me with their siren songs •
leading me on to believe in voices of pretend • lashing out at what is nothing more than a figment of my own imagination
apparitions come to life
dream on vivid dreamer • lack of action won’t make believers • put faith in something real • something tangible you can feel
apparitions come to life • a nightmare is realized
i held my breath for far too long • always turned a blind eye • one step outside myself • let go • got lost inside my mind
forked tongues deceiving me • got lost in apathy •
thrashing about at sea • attacking my integrity
dream on vivid dreamer • lack of action won’t make believers • put faith in something real • something tangible you can feel
so where are you now • wandering in forever after • you left me to burn in gehenna over days and weeks and years
IV. From Depths I Rise
you're dreaming awake • you're not alone •
from depths you will rise • i'll pull you home •
you're dreaming awake
i can feel it washing over me
i can feel it • these tides set me free
the tides have changed • they carry me towards the shore
with the winds at my back i can move onward
it was your destiny to walk in the clouds •
to go our separate ways and pursue our own dreams
A View Of Heaven From A Seat In Hell
i watched you faultier • i saw the moment that you fell
V. In Dust I Stand
too scared to let go • remain chained to this anchor • letting it drag me down •
i can't hold my breath forever
how am i supposed to move when i'm letting this guilt weigh me down • dragging me beneath the surface • continue with excuses • they only drag me down •
it won't be long til i'm dead in the water
no longer will i be plagued by a guilty conscience
how was i supposed to move • i was buried in wavesof uncertainty
no longer will i be plagued by a guilty conscience
seeking deliverance from the fate my transgressions have earned •
trying only to make sense of a lesson to be learned
not scared to let go • unchained from this anchor • pulling myself to ground •
i can breathe, i can stand
no more dwelling on the past • it will haunt me no longer
i won’t sink any lower • i won’t let this drag me down (x1)
in dust i rise
seeking deliverance from the fate my transgressions have earned •
trying only to make sense of a lesson to be learned
seizing deliverance from belief that i have no control •
trying only to have purpose • a lesson has been learned
no more dwelling on the past • i won't let it haunt me any longer
i won’t sink any lower • i won't let this drag me any lower
VI. A New Awakening
for the first time in a while i have a reason to hope • i have a reason to smile • for the first time in several years there’s nothing holding me back • nothing to interfere
my eyes have been unveiled • a shroud has been lifted •
i can see clearly now • that the haze has subsided
there’s no going back to the ways of the past •
and with that realization there comes some sort of relief
a burden has been lifted • i now breathe with ease
a new beginning • a breath of fresh air • new life has left my lungs • rejuvenated •
a new beginning • a new awakening • new life has left my heart Rejuvenated
my eyes now see the subtle beauty inside of everything i previously overlooked • the splendor of life • the joy that it brings never really ceases to amaze me
sand on my feet the earth beneath me • the most comforting feeling, it fills me with a warmth that i had lost • to have solid ground beneath me • to no longer be floating • to be standing in tribute to new life • a new flood of color and verve
a new beginning • a new awakening • new life has left my heart Rejuvenated
now that i’ve found myself i can move on in a new direction
i am replenished, i am renewed • i’m seeing life through a new point of view • no longer taking every moment for granted • with every breath i’m feeling blessed to be alive
now that i’ve found myself i can move on in a new direction
for the first time in a while i have a reason to hope • i have a reason to smile • for the first time in several years there’s nothing holding me back nothing to interfere
