66, 33. All it takes is just a heartbeat to break
under the weight of the resilience. 66, 33. Off
the grid, you can’t stop me. If I fail this time,
I’ll repeat, repeat, repeat.
I’ve carried this commitment towards a shapeless
goal. I bow before this burden, but I’m not falling
on my knees. This is the age of despair, but I’m
crafted by the constant fear. Strip me down to the
bare bone, but you can’t take off my loyalty.
I’ve lost my voice but I’m talking with the silence.
I’ve had no face since I’ve been my own
witness. I have no language but my actions
are speaking. I’m an echo, I’m a reflection,
an unpredictable exception.
My eyes are fixed forward until the light falls out
from them. I’ll share my story over the walls
until I’m disconnected. The author was never
meant to last.
I’m the frst and last on this terrain.
I’m a single drop of rain.

The Speech
03:47
|
|||
|
Here lays an empire that I don’t recognize
anymore. We’ve reached point where the hope
can’t be restored. It’s pointless to say that the
intentions were pure. Let’s witness the end, this
sickness has no cure.
When I end my speech we’re all on our own.
When the broadcast ends we will walk alone.
Please let me close my chapter, let me walk down
these stairs. This is the end of progression, this is
my confession.
Please do not follow. As we all know this will
end with a downfall. Why to aim forward as
we’re long gone, as we’re walking backwards?
Go ahead and vote with your hollow voice, carry
the flag without a meaning. It’s easier to fall for
anything than to stand for something.
Why did you follow? As we both know this will end
with a downfall. If we aim forward to a new dawn
this might be our last song.
Do you really think that there’s hope after all? Do
you really think that these walls won’t fall? Do you
see, do you feel, do you really believe?

(E)motionless
03:24

The current of emotion and consciousness will
always preserve. Even if the surface is frozen, the
stream is always present.
I’m floating in the dark, there’s nothing inside of
me. It’s a still sea. I see the blurry faces under the
surface. I cannot feel but I still remember.
The ships are searching us somewhere between
me and you. They will find us even if we are
among the few. The ships are searching us
somewhere between me and you. This is where
we disappear. This is where we cut loose.
If you feel the collision of our minds do not show it,
we should hide this secret. If you see the artifcial
ocean, you should remember how to fnd me.
Every time a new cell divides, another pixel in
the grid will die. Whenever our minds collide,
it’s the only time I feel alive.

Heritage
05:04
|
|||
|
Dear one-eyed friend, the giant made out of
stone. You’ve heard my story a thousand times.
And I’ll tell it once more and then I’ll let you
sleep again. I will tell it once more and I’ll
let you sleep again.
I hope there’s someone to carry my lantern, to
accept my heritage. The only bit of mercy is the
solid ground under my feet.
It burns to lay eyes on the ocean, on the mirror
of the lost years. It burns to stand under this
wind, under the last breath of our world.
I’m nothing more than a messenger to deliver
and serve. But if there’s no-one to receive I’m just
fucking deadweight.
I’ll take this dive in search for more comfortable
pain. I will take this dive to wash this blood away.
Please accept my heritage. It’s on my skin, it’s in
my bones. Please carry my lantern and never let it
sleep, never let it sleep.

I'll Set The Fire
03:30
|
|||
|
Even if it kills me. I’m standing in the smoke that’s
burning my lungs. I’m standing in the wind that has
blackened my eyes.
I’ll find my way out from the ashes if there’s no light
in my sight. I’ll trail this map with my own blood.
I’ll set the fire.
Even if it kills me.
I’m the one you stare when you close your eyes. I’m
the one you hear when there’s nothing but silence.
I am.
I’ll ignite for the drained souls, for the helpless
wanderers. I’ll find the way. I am the bravest.

In Silence We Escape
03:51
|
|||
|
We are the outsiders in this unforgiving world. We’re
seen as the lowest of the low, ships without cargo.
But we’re awake when everyone else falls asleep. When
you’re at a loss of words we are the ones to speak.
The deeper we sink, the darker I recall our yesterday. But we
won’t hit the bottom because of our unity.
Let the rain wash away the warpaint. Let it drum the
ground and silence this nation. In silence we escape.
You know that in the end the dead calm prevails.
The path we wander is our signature on the bottom line.
But the ending to this story is yet undefined.
We ask our earth to forgive. We ask for mercy on
the stormy seas. But this world won’t forget, until we
all fall asleep.
If there’s a spark in your heart, you should know where
we are. We will stay in the dark, we will sail into the night.
If there’s a spark in your heart, you should know where
we are. If you’ve come this far, fnd the guiding light.

Nine Rivers
02:54
|
|||
|
Why did we separate heaven from earth? We
have no vision, but we speak with big words.
We gave away our future and we’ll never
know its worth. Whoever follows will never
hear these chords.
The world seems so calm from up here. We’ll
never see that the end is near. The nine rivers
will always flow, even if it’s our time to go.
Every single sound doesn’t need to be amplifed.
If you stop and listen the silence, you’ll find the
song of complete harmony. I wish you could climb
up here and see the misery to disappear.

The Endless Blue
03:45
|
|||
|
If you are weightless I’m about to drown, so it might
be hard to fnd common ground. But I know you have
seen enough to say, that if we don’t act we won’t see
another day.
I don’t want your mechanical sky. I don’t want to draw
the line. I don’t want to step inside. I’m afraid we’ll
never see eye to eye.
The endless blue in the distance is the goal of our
resistance. The endless blue in the distance is the
answer to our existence.
I am the ocean and you are the sky. In the horizon
we’re not so far apart. And if you decide to blur the
line, from time to time you might see us to combine.
We’ve seen each other to move ahead through the
years. I’m tired of being trapped on this frozen frontier.
If you give me the rain I’ll give you the waves. Let’s
bring the storm and cut to the chase.
I don’t want your mechanical sky. I can sail against the
tide. I don’t want to lose the daylight. Your heaven is
coloured just with black and white.
If the point of no return is passed, we will leave no
trace, we’ll erase the past.

Immersion
03:22
|
|||
|
Can you feel it, the bottom of desperate measure?
With every breath there’s another mistake. How
long will we stay awake?
Have we ever been so lost that you can’t seem to
recognize us? Remember all the things we’ve lost.
When days are hollow, I’ll let you sleep through.
We hear the silent whispers and the lonely howl
of the everwave.
You want to stay in the dark, but these shores will
still fall apart. The last thing I want to memorize is
the high waves under the sky.
How could I feel weightless and not so worthless,
as the waves draw us back down? How could I
be timeless and not so voiceless as the way down
has become endless?

Sleep Mode
04:51
|
|||
|
I’m not sure if I prefer the sea stormy or calm.
The ocean will stay fierce, but without it
I feel disarmed.
Hope doesn’t live in this lonely harbour anymore.
But the breeze is blowing on the shore. Please
let me stay awhile and gather the light that was
stolen by Father Time.
This road looks like the one I left ages ago. This
is where I’ll stay, this is so called home. When I
close my eyes I see the opposite shore. This is
where I’ll stay, this is so called home.
Sometimes it’s hard to accept that the body of
water is my gravity. But I will always remember
that the waves have almost took my sanity.
I’ll slow down to move faster in my thoughts. I’ll
dive deeper to break the surface of my memories.
I might stand here tonight but my mind will always
wander. I might have lost the connection, but I’ve
never lost the direction.
Sleep mode engaged.
