Into a new day, we all step into a new day The world keeps turning, people still go earning Into a new year, we all step into a new year, Resolutions, we’ll never keep. The time never stops, it never started, It will continue even after you’ve departed. Into a new sun, we all step into a new sun The sun shines back, the sun gives back. Into a new moon, we all step into a new moon It changes the tides, benefits our lives. The time never stops, it never started, It will continue even after your heart stops Into the future, we all step into the future It’s scary I know but you can’t control it. Into a new world, we all step into a new world Seems unbelievable but reasonable Are we infinite souls? Never growing old, apart of everything

I had a dream, a wise man Cut out circles, from black silk Microchips, he covered my eyes and asked me a question. If you were the life force, God per se, What would you change, what would you say? Organise, design, Structure, arrange, compensate, repay In waking life I create He was a blind man, with good eyes. If you were the life force, God per se, What what you change, what would you say? Architect of reality Architect of reality If you were the life force, God per se, What what you change, what would you say? If you were the life force, God per se, What what you change, what would you say?

Everything with you, I want everything with you The highs and the lows, watch as it grows Everything with you, I want everything with you The guys come and go but you gave me a rose Angel eyes, light of my life, No darkness now, I take my vow Old romance, with teenager plans I understand, I love your hands. Everything with you, I want everything with you The guys come and go but you gave me a rose Everything with you, I want everything with you The guys come and go but you gave me a rose Walk through the door, want nothing more God willing, you wear your ring Truth be told, I’ll grow old But baby please, grow with me. Everything with you, I want everything with you The highs and the lows, watch as it grows Everything with you, I want everything with you The guys come and go but you gave me a rose.

I Dodged It 04:51
If a winner don’t quit on themselves, Call me a loser, call me a loser. Empty words, Empty empty words. Actions speak louder than words, Than words You threw a knife at me but you missed And I dodged it, I dodged it. But you missed and I dodged it, the devil chased me down a waterslide. But I outsmart him, I slept alone every night I spoke to a wall and a wolf always covers his tracks You threw a knife at me but you missed and I dodged it, I dodged it. You hate the world, hate when it grows, afraid of change Stuck in your old ways, closed heart, closed eyes, new ideas equal your demise. I'm afraid you will pass with hate. You threw a knife at me but you missed And I dodged it, I dodged it. Refusing acceptance, prioritise separation, Too proud, too patriotic. You threw a knife at me but you missed And I dodged it, I dodged it.

Marching in the hundreds, left wing, right wing, no wings What side are you on? You trust no one Just keep your eyes on the desired desire And you’ll find there is no prize. Political correctness, boxes, labels, fables Political correctness, don’t say you didn’t want this. Think you’re peaceful, think you’re righteous You’re just as violent, you are the reflection Just keep your eyes on the desired desire And you’ll find there is prize. Political correctness, boxes, labels, fables Political correctness, don’t say you didn’t want this. What side are you on, you trust no one What side are you on, you trust no one Political correctness, boxes, labels, fables Political correctness, don’t say you didn’t want this.

Obnoxious 03:57
Picture your soul, without the mask you stole Now you see, see the unseen. What are you with no identity? What are you with no ego? What is left of you then? Think deeper now, repeat. See now, see now, see now Wanna be unified Hear now, hear now, hear now Wanna be justified Dividing nations, is degeneration Dividing nations, is degeneration. See now, see now, see now Wanna be unified Hear now, hear now, hear now Wanna be justified. Dividing nations, is degeneration Dividing nations, is degeneration Dividing nations, is degeneration

Canyon 02:47
The mirror, the cards, the sword, the prince The mirror, the cards, the sword, the prince The mirror, the cards, the sword, the prince The mirror, the cards, the sword, the prince I can jump in the mirror, whenever I like It's the great big pretender, hold it to the light We all have one, some take control of you, Some will delude you, some will amuse you The mirror, the cards, the sword, the prince The mirror, the cards, the sword, the prince The mirror, the cards, the sword, the prince The mirror, the cards, the sword, the prince We all have cards, which ones do you show Are they true to you, do they manipulate truth We all have swords, some sharper than others Some are drawn to defend, some are drawn to end We all have cards, armour and weapons queens and aces, unknown faces, It's up to you to show the perfect ones If we fall in the canyon, the right cards will pick us up

Should I keep it all separate, or do it all at once, I could perform many tricks for you, one by one. But sometimes in the middle of the night, I feel somethings not right Existential dread sets in Existential dread sets in Should I keep it all separate, Compartmentalise or web it together? Like the spiders in my mind Thinking all the time of the spirits in my life. Wake up, 2am, I’m gonna die, not gonna live Who do I love, what matters to me, No afterlife, for the likes of me, For the likes of me. Existential dread sets in Existential dread sets in Existential dread sets in Existential dread sets in

Today, I decided, not to hate myself anymore. Because I’m tired, uninspired, undesired and hardwired. I’m trying to fix my head and feel good about what lies ahead. It’s been a long, long, long, Long time since I’ve known myself. Now I don’t know, who I am, anymore Hope it’s not too late, hope i’m not too fake Hope i’ve still got fate and some faith. It’s been a long, long, long, Long time since I’ve been myself It’s been a long, long, long, Long time since I loved myself. I wasn’t born yesterday, I exist, I’m just delayed I’m not in the grave, I’ve got a life to save And it’s mine and it’s time. When I wake, I ruin the day, The thoughts come in, I can’t remain, Round and round, a battle everyday But I choose to survive and I choose life. When I wake, I ruin the day, The thoughts come in, I can’t remain, Round and round, a battle everyday But I choose to survive and I choose life. Pushed everyone away, maybe i’ll be okay. Maybe I’ll be great or maybe I’ll stay the same. Maybe i’ll stay the same I wasn’t born yesterday I exist, I'm just delayed I’m not in the grave Got a life to save and it’s mine For sorry, won’t wait Maybe i’ll Maybe i’ll be okay Maybe i’ll stay the same I’ll stay the same.
