Set In Stone

We both know we know the truth

And every reality bigger than words

And every feather mightier than sword
That tries so hard to cut off their roots
But we both know we know the truth
Zombies and dreamers marching on
Trying to keep time from moving on
While they say their prayers out loud
Civil wars and angry storms raging on
Twisting rules and breaking bones

Closing in with a wall of sound

Standing on the cliff you might find

It's too late to retrace one step behind

Too late to block and destroy the fate

Or a past that you fed and wants to erase

No matter if you were not there to live

No matter if you won't be there to see

Though now is dead and gone

It's set in stone, my dear

We both know we know the truth

And we both know how much it means

Though it keeps tearing apart at the seams

And it keeps coming out right through you

So we both know we know the truth

I know you don't dare looking back now

You go on blocking the noise somehow

Because you can't afford to turn away

Still dreamers and sleepwalkers yell out

Their empty prayers as a wall of sound

As if we couldn't see the light of day

Standing on the cliff you might find

It's too late to retrace one step behind

Too late to block and destroy the fate

Or a past that you fed and wants to erase

No matter if you believe no one knows

No matter if you think we should let it go

You just can't change what's done

Now it's set in stone

As we see time going by the boards

Something you'll beg, borrow and steal

And run so sweaty to reach for more

Though it is not yours to lose

To twist, to bend or to use

To alter, to hunt or pursuit

And in spite of you time will

tell the truth because we both know

It did so many times before

Anchor

I've learned the time in ways I've never imagine

As a hurricane and as a breeze, easy come, easy go

I hold it with my fingertips, my nails and teeth

I always end up losing track of it and letting it go

Today I prayed to Neptune under the waves

Whatever mercy you have please have it on me

In these times of seeing the end as you begin

For my heart travels among rocky islands

Yes, I jumped on board

One vice to another, ready, set, go

Adrift swimming far from the shore

Seasick I keep swinging and swaying

And yet a voice keeps saying

Don't drop your anchor

It gets easier to read the water and the skies

If the story is written on the waves and thunderbolts

And my natural force lays with no remorse

As I become one with the wind, sky and the earth

One day I'll have conquered the lands and the sea

And the roaming won't be so scary anymore

Junkie

When you opened your spaced out eyes

You almost knew the world in front of you

The rush to the head, the cold running sweat

Your tongue numb, god gave you a turn

And you won't change it for a damn thing

All your life you've waited for the time

The devil would buy a soul like yours

And you'd sell it for a couple of words

For all that it is worth and for what's not

As long as you could take your long shot

The junkie started a joke

The addiction is it's own reward

Once you're never fully satisfied

Craving what you're owed

So thirsty for what others afford

You're high on your scarce supply

Drinking other people's kool aid

Cause it's paid and sold

The junkie started a joke

Every single time feels like the first

When the day outside burned too bright

A borrowed state of bliss, flying to abyss

Screaming into the void how you rejoice

To be the one dreaming in both worlds

Please tell me are you ready to confess

Or would you rather bleed your truths out

From down your nose, staining your clothes

Trapped in twisted waves, no wish to escape

You just wouldn't know who you are

You woke up in a world

You didn't dreamed of

Rounded by limelights

And nooses and knots

Wishing for sweet silence

To flood your deaf ears

Your prayers and dreams

could mean anything
