To write it down and to face it is to truly test our fears and beliefs
It's so humbling to write something in strength and conviction
Only to later fear what you have created
Because it hurts too much, oh it is too close
When you see the art, you will understand
For it is not just music, not just artwork
But a piece of work about a broken dream
About a broken dream that broke the dream
Is this what I have become? I never wanted it to be!
Just someone to share my sorrows with in temporality
Realized too late I was just holding on to a memory
Through chaos and solitude in finality
When meanings become so heartbreakingly ironic
Oh it is hard to face the final product
The product of what could’ve been and what might be
When you live the meanings like a prophecy come true
It is dark, It is cold, weighed down with snow
A heart is heavy in the north tonight
What is this season without a willingness to allow
For communication to flow in hopes for understanding
Is this what I have become? I never wanted it to be!
Just someone to share my sorrows with in temporality
Realized too late I was just holding on to a memory
Through chaos and solitude in finality
A heart is heavy, tonight in the north...
*dedicated to the memory of David Gold

One Inch Of Peace

I seek the solitude, as I walk this path of my resistance
I bear this thorn and pain It forced me to contain
All my hate and despise for this farce they call mankind
Nothing resonates as I scream into these monstrosities, these monstrous cities
The only answer I found is hidden deep inside these woods
Nothing compares to the warmth of the rain falling down in spring
Whilst being engulfed into the natural state of mother earth
Here it is where I find one inch of peace, freed from the disease
But conditioned as we are soon I’ll find myself trapped again
Trapped in the illusion of any purity within our civilization
We get blinded and numbed by materialistic temptations
And as strong as I feel the urge to resist, I always get pulled back into conformity...

Life has never been easy on you
But everyone seems to have figured it out
Have figured it out for you – validating your relevance
They’ve done the math on you – validating your worth
Oh, if only, if you could live up to their expectations
If only, if you could regain irrelevance again...
Life has never been easy on you
But everyone seems to have figured it out for you
Validating your worth and validating your life
They’ve done the fucking math on you
If only, if you could – live up to their crooked hopes and dreams
Achieving just something, just for once, to numb this urge to become
Irrelevant again and finally one with what was and what will be
The integrity of nothingness versus the fragile beauty of life
...to finally become irrelevant again...

I longed to feel a warmth and wandered aimlessly
I longed to feel the warmth of another heart
I’ve been through barren fields and vigorous land
I’ve been to death and back only to be with you
...to no longer wear a mask / and finally be me...
...to unchain this heart / and finally be free...
To feel the loving touch of your embrace is everything I need
To make me whole again – my heart is in your hands!
And I will keep this pledge, a promise I will never break
I will keep this pledge, until my dying bed

The eternity that is supposed to come after the end of the world.
It is what we were aiming for, but we missed.
For example, so long as something lives, the world will restore itself as often as it needs.
And even though nothing actually really changes, the changes will still catch up with us.
Like waking up from a bad dream, the world seems as good as it ever was.
A city. Built so people could live the way they wanted. They tamed nature.
But nature doesn’t behave like man wants it. Eventually nature always wins…
Like walking an alley lined with oaks - overbearing mortal souls
Coevolution ends with us and yet nature always wins
In denial of god we disregard the natural law, but nature always wins
For we are not part of this, we’re flawed, the undesired children
no longer part of this, disposable - humanity should be extinguished
Like walking an alley lined with oaks - our mortal hubris inevitably fades
and still you’re searching for evidence of god, but disregarding his will
You’ll always walk the alley of the blind - I can see your evidence in nature, everywhere I go
Nature always wins - humanity should be extinguished
It is necessary, god wants it - the earth, she wants it - it is necessary
The first cracks start to appear, slowly bringing it down
A philosophy strikes roots, your city’s crumbling apart
In denial of god, disregarding the laws - but nature always wins and pride will have its fall
The first cracks start to appear, slowly bringing it down
A philosophy strikes roots, your city’s crumbling apart
The foundation of your mind, torn open like the pavement
Resign yourself to your fate, becoming a part of nature
