From The Inside

Emotions running wild
Reaching the highest highs
And down to the lowest lows
Can’t reign in these feelings
Need to find a way to cope
(Don’t give up hope)
I’ll reach out my hand, like an olive branch
I need some guidance
Don’t leave me hanging for too long,
My courage cannot last
Reaching out my hand, like an olive branch
Feels like an avalanche
Hanging on with all my might, my courage fading fast
Outcry
From the inside
A divide
Of two minds
Holding out my hand, as an olive branch
Won’t let it detach
Hanging in the balance, emotions about to crash
Outcry
From the inside
A divide
Of two minds
Now decide
Or move aside
Power magnified
Two thoughts unified
Your emotions are running wild
Reaching the highest highs
And down to the lowest lows
You must reign in these feelings
Here are some ways to cope
(Don’t give up hope)

Live Your Imagination
03:43
|
|||
Wake up from your daydream, for it’s not reality
A phrase I’m used to hearing, as if I’m just carefree
Living with your head in the clouds, your attention’s absentee
Time to focus, hear the sounds, the worlds not fantasy
I’m tired of your nagging, and outdated beliefs
Won’t listen to your bragging, I have a plan you’ll see
Not gonna let your small-minded thoughts get the best of me
So, hear my words, get my message across, we don’t have to agree
Live your imagination
(If it’s not real, then just go and make it so)
Don’t give up your fascination
(Your thoughts can guide you everywhere you go)
An unchained mind leads to innovations
(Free yourself and get a chance to grow)
Trust in yourself and your creations
(Don’t break your flow, there’s just so much to know)
I’m basking in this feeling, the success that lies ahead
My dreams will break the ceiling, and allow my wings to spread
I’m tired of this waiting, ready to explode
The ticking clock is grating, I just feel so controlled
Jot down ideas to try, maybe I’ll break the code
Anticipating the day I’ll fly, gotta get the show on the road
Live your imagination
(If it’s not real, then just go and make it so)
Don’t give up your fascination
(Your thoughts can guide you everywhere you go)
An unchained mind leads to innovations
(Free yourself and get a chance to grow)
Trust in yourself and your creations
(Don’t break your flow, there’s just so much to know)
Keep my eyes on the prize, even though it’s far away
A mind unleashed is a mind that’s wise, I have so much to say
Just because I have to wait, doesn’t mean that I can’t dream
With dragon’s fire I’ll light the way, create the world I want to see
Live your imagination
(If it’s not real, then just go and make it so)
Don’t give up your fascination
(Your thoughts can guide you everywhere you go)
An unchained mind leads to innovations
(Free yourself and get a chance to grow)
Trust in yourself and your creations
(Don’t break your flow, there’s just so much to know)

A Perfect Disaster
05:42
|
|||
Dark
The futures not so bright
A pessimist inside
I knew it in my heart
Right from the start
Didn’t heed the call
It led to our downfall
Thought we were so smart
Now we all act shocked
Time to face reality
We were warned
But still ignored
Just too blind to see
It’s a perfect disaster
The worlds crashing down
No time to rebound
It’s the end of a chapter
Dark times lie ahead
We’ve all been misled
A perfect disaster
Shame
We gave our rights away
So little that we gained
The status quo maintained
Should’ve had the guts to say
That it just didn’t sound right
But I didn’t want to fight
Now we’re all in disarray
Stuck with endless delays
Time to face reality
We were warned
But still ignored
Just too blind to see
It’s a perfect disaster
The worlds crashing down
No time to rebound
It’s the end of a chapter
Dark times lie ahead
We’ve all been misled
A perfect disaster
Looking inside
Nowhere to hide
Making excuses, protecting my pride
Now it’s too late
Accepting my fate
I should’ve adapted, reacted with haste
Taking the blame
Living with shame
Gotta get my head back into the game
I’m still alive
That means I can try
If depressions not the lesson, cut the bullshit and thrive
Looking inside
Nowhere to hide
Making excuses, protecting my pride
Now it’s too late
Accepting my fate
I should’ve adapted, reacted with haste
Taking the blame
Living with shame
Gotta get my head back into the game
I’m still alive
That means I can try
If depressions not the lesson, cut the bullshit and thrive
Now I’ve faced reality
I’ve been burned
My lessons learned
Through experience I can see
It’s a perfect disaster
The worlds crashing down
But we’ll stand our ground
It’s the start of a chapter
Tough times lie ahead
But we’ll steer them instead
It’s not a disaster
We’re our own master

Skyward
04:10
|
|||
In the morning when I wake
I wipe the sleep from my eyes
Ready for a glorious day
Let my passions be my guide
Don’t want to waste a minute
There’s so much I want to do
I think time is my only limit
Every free moment I will use
Believe in myself
Following my heart
Woah!
I’m lighting the fire
Woah!
I’ll try to go higher and higher
Woah!
My fuel is desire
Woah!
Never been so inspired, I’m skyward
If it matters find the time
No excuses needed
If you’re honest you will find
Real passions can’t be defeated
Don’t try to fool yourself
If you love, then you will know
Like exercise is to health
Your energy will show
Chasing my own dreams
Just have to believe
Woah!
I’m lighting the fire
Woah!
I’ll try to go higher and higher
Woah!
My fuel is desire
Woah!
Never been so inspired, I’m skyward
When inspiration calls
Don’t let it pass you by
It’s right where it belongs
But don’t wait for it to appear
Or it may never find you
Have to work for it and be sincere
I’ll reach for it
Give it my all everyday
Hey!
I’ll fight for it
Can’t get in my way
Hey!
I’ll run towards it
Won’t let it get away
I’ll get there someday!
Woah!
I’m lighting the fire
Woah!
I’ll try to go higher and higher
Woah!
My fuel is desire
Woah!
Never been so inspired, I’m skyward

Life Is Here and Now
05:00
|
|||
(Preaching!)
I’ve been told to focus on my goals
(Teaching!)
Keep laser focus on moving forward
(Reaching!)
Do whatever it takes
(Unleashing!)
Push ahead, don’t focus on mistakes
When we push beyond our limits
Through sheer determination
We rush toward the finish
Enjoyment not in the equation
Don’t forget to live your life
Appreciate what you have
While striving forward you can take a minute
Before your next attack
There’s more to living than meeting deadlines
And stepping up the stones
Take a breath, a break is allowed
What we need is balance
Your life is here and now
(Brainwashed!)
A cult of personality
(What cost?)
A fake sense of accomplishment
(Feel squashed!)
Can’t live up to the standards we see
(Been bought!)
Beg for likes to feel acknowledgment
If we’re pushed beyond our limits
To a point of no return
With no connection to all that’s around us
Then we can’t love what we’ve earned
Don’t forget to live your life
Appreciate what you have
While striving forward you can take a minute
Before your next attack
There’s more to living than meeting deadlines
And stepping up the stones
Take a breath, a break is allowed
What we need is balance
Your life is here and now
(Don’t know what tomorrow brings)
Stand firmly in the present
(Yesterday’s already passed)
Stand firmly in the present
And your happiness will last
When we push beyond our limits
Through sheer determination
We miss the world that surrounds us
The key is moderation
Don’t forget to live your life
Appreciate what you have
While striving forward you can take a minute
Before your next attack
There’s more to living than meeting deadlines
And stepping up the stones
Take a breath, a break is allowed
What we need is balance
Your life is here and now

Move Through The Dark
05:13
|
|||
Moving through the dark
A sense of calm emerges
Dichotomy of loud and quiet
The power comes in surges
Have to stay alert
Relax and close your eyes now
The enemy of rest and fear
Never know who’s on the prowl
I’ll use the time to get work done
Have to try to stay productive
Some play games and try to have fun
Streaming movies, it’s seductive
Hard to shake these feelings
Of safe and insecure
On the news we see things
So dark and sinister
We move through the dark
From distances far
We disembark
In a railcar
We ride through the night
With strangers in sight
Hope it’s alright
Can’t be uptight
It’s normal in this place
We gamble with our safety
We don’t have space, we’re face to face
With people who are shady
There’s people all around
Don’t know who’s friend or dangerous
Cacophonous sounds, are all around
It’s hard not to get anxious
Watch the signs and pay attention
Directions aren’t always clear
Ask for help, get condescension
Hope your exit sign appears
Hard to shake these feelings
Of safe and insecure
On the news we see things
So dark and sinister
We move through the dark
From distances far
We disembark
In a railcar
We ride through the night
With strangers in sight
Hope it’s alright
Can’t be uptight
Keep to yourself
Don’t ask for help
Go get a clue
Don’t light my fuse
Bottled inside
Taking the ride
Passing the time
Writing up rhymes
We move through the dark
From distances far
We disembark
In a railcar
We ride through the night
With strangers in sight
Hope it’s alright
Can’t be uptight

Tyrant On The Throne
05:25
|
|||
The tides are coming in
Crashing at the shore
The roaring winds, the storm begins
We’ve seen this all before
The lighting in the sky
Thunder crackling in our ears
We can’t deny, we must comply
Be strong and persevere
Enemies are in the distance
Stand our ground fight for existence
Kings and Queens will rise and fall
Champions of valor and strength, will battle for it all
All will pray to their gods above and below
But fate will be decided by devils that we know
The tyrant on the throne
The devils that we know
The tyrant on the throne
A grim scene lies ahead
With blood spilled on the sand
A shore of red, with thousands dead
A curse upon the land
Know not what we fight for
Just soldiers following orders
The arrows soar, the tides of war
Are fought upon our borders
Enemies are at the gates
Stand our ground for hell awaits
Kings and Queens will rise and fall
Champions of valor and strength, will battle for it all
All will pray to their gods above and below
But fate will be decided by devils that we know
The tyrant on the throne
The devils that we know
The tyrant on the throne
Steel meets bone
Agony
Skulls meet stone
Tragedy
Enemies have all been slain
Victory is ours again
Kings and Queens will rise and fall
Champions of valor and strength, will battle for it all
All will pray to their gods above and below
But fate will be decided by devils that we know
The tyrant on the throne
The devils that we know
The tyrant on the throne

Never Look Back
04:19
|
|||
I trained for this day
For years I have worked
Never knowing if I’d get my chance
I never betrayed
Kept myself immersed
To learn and hope to advance
Trust in the process
Is what I was told
And someday things fall into place
But what if success
Takes more than just hope
You have to get into the race
Take off your shackles
And show them all what you can do
It’s time to battle
Your destiny is right in front of you
They say there’s a journey that warriors take
To handle the reigns and control their own fate
Confronting their fear, they make the attack
Charge forward and never look back
So long the years
That dragged right on by
Weighed down by someone else’s decisions
Stifled with fears
The fault was still mine
Should’ve stood up for my own ambitions
Took off my shackles
And showed them all what I could do
Fought my own battles
Unburdened with nothing to lose
They say there’s a journey that warriors take
To handle the reigns and control their own fate
Confronting their fear, they make the attack
Charge forward and never look back
I’ve taken the journey that warriors take
Took hold of the reigns and controlled my own fate
Confronted my fears, I made my attack
And now I don’t need to look back
Fail or succeed it’s now in my own hands
At least I can know that I took my own stand
A warrior’s journey, I forged my own path
No regrets, I’ll never look back
Never look back

Tranquility In Conflict
04:49
|
|||
A dreary morning, with weary eyes, I rise from slumber
The sky is storming, colors mesmerize, my thoughts asunder
Don't know what I have planned, mind’s in a haze, cannot remember
Here and now is where I stand, maybe I'll pray, or check the calendar
Disconnected from our dreams, cannot face reality
Things are different than they seem, a nightmare fantasy
In times of turbulence, we value peace, we seek relief
A metamorphosis, questioning beliefs, history repeats
When times are hard, we look up to the sky, we wonder why
We look beyond, and hope for a reply, from up on high
We're disconnected, from those we love, we crumble from inside
Dissociating, taught to retreat, stoicism glorified
We're so distracted, in our own lives, we're paralyzed
Emotions reactive, no self-control, we stay divided
Must pursue our own dreams, make them reality
Make things better than they seem, a living fantasy
In times of turbulence, we value peace, we seek relief
A metamorphosis, questioning beliefs, history repeats
When times are hard, we look up to the sky, we wonder why
We look beyond, and hope for a reply, from up on high
Break out of the fog
Shatter the walls surrounding you
The door’s now unlocked
Go and face the world, your soul is now renewed
When pursuing our own dreams, we live in ecstasy
The world can be what we believe, not just a fantasy
In times of turbulence, we value peace, we seek relief
A metamorphosis, questioning beliefs, history repeats
When times are hard, we look up to the sky, we wonder why
We look beyond, and hope for a reply, from up on high

Citipati

Confronted with change
We push back, resistance
Try to disengage
But life is persistent
We need to adapt
For time isn’t static
We need to react
Take action, it’s drastic
Don’t sit like a stone
Go follow the winds of change
You aren’t alone
Be open to rearrange
The truth is it’s hard
But we have to persevere
We have to take charge
The time to act is here
Must adapt
Or die like the dinosaurs
Face the facts
or end up like the
Funeral Pyre Lord
Citipati
The deity of change
Two halves of the body
A halo of flames
Citipati
The eternal dance of death
The symbol embodies
Pursuit of perfect consciousness
Learn ways to cope
Control your emotions
Don’t give up hope
Or leave things unspoken
The demons we face
Control us if we don’t try
Don’t give them space
Just look them right in the eye
We’re in control
Our souls will be renewed
Remember our goals
Walk the path we want to
Live day by day
Chasing your own pursuits
You’ll find a way
To live the life you choose
Must adapt
Or die like the dinosaurs
Face the facts
or end up like the
Funeral Pyre Lord
Citipati
The dancers of death
Two halves of the body
Representing no end
Citipati
Protectors of the grave
Their symbol embodies
A path unpaved
Must adapt
Or die like the dinosaurs
Face the facts
or end up like the
Funeral Pyre Lord
Citipati
Protecting the grave
Two halves of the body
A symbol of change
