Red Tide 05:01
Open all the windows and let the cold air in The infection grows like a child Send for the messenger to take the first shot Sharp words cut deeper when the needle is hot Burning through my system I can feel the heat The tide of retrogression has taken his seat You don’t have to bow down To the monster on a throne Hoping for a reason to breathe a little deeper The stain is spreading wild Wading through the shallow end of life is safe 'Till you get pounded by an angry tidal wave Fire in the ocean Fire in the sea Cold blue water is burning me To find the antidote you must look within Look at yourself decompiled Break down the elements of the carnal mind Following your instincts will leave you blind Strapped to a table under halogen lights The side effects no longer mild The world is only what it seems to you As you watch the red flow out into the blue Fire’s in the ocean rising Fire’s in the sea comprising Cold blue water choking down and burns inside of me

Transition 06:38
From pain this life has changed me Forever remembered the ones embraced Among the silence comes my strength Away, deceived, chose to displace Pushing away the negativity Accepting this life’s a mystery Changing my future from history Moving from past to set myself free Elements have caged my tranquil sky Shedding all the light that turned to night Forgotten for the call more so than before Time for a new transition and to be reborn Site seen the eyes were blinded Hands shake the pain was terrorizing Mouth choked with no words foretold Mind stuck while my conscience folds Subconsciously this is my acceptance Concisely this was not his vengeance Expressing this life is from descendants Opened up my life enjoy this ride Now transcend… from what was a far cry Now transcend… for what is mine Now transcend… for my own good side Transition... transition... of truth

Ricochet 03:47
Riding across the desert sand Not giving up what I crave my sin Looking back on the rear view mirror Letting go my family sake for death Striving for one more kick Thinking this won't make a stick Giving in one last sin Something had to hit the bin It's okay I chose my life It's okay they can live and let die This choice is my fault Selfish acts for dreaded times Captured and cuffed against my will Shamed for deeds that now have no thrill Friends to choose have come and gone Sitting in my cell knowing what was wrong Asking myself is there some hope Realized life is more than one joke Leaving behind this shed of guilt Moving forward with life what a thrill Every action that is made has put me in this place Every reaction that was made was my displace

Awakenings 04:53
Awaken in the raining night Thunder sounds Awaken upon the blinded site Lighting surrounds and shocks living all around Awaken in the raining night Thunder sounds Awaken upon the blinded site Lighting surrounds and shocks living all dead now Light strikes, fire breaks, white flames Burning all around Earth Shakes, quiver quakes, sites changed Tumbling to the ground Awaken in the raining night Thunder sounds Awaken upon the blinded site Lighting surrounds Afraid of digging my head in the ground Break up those thoughts killing inside Refrained from those shattered dreams Take up the chance to better embrace Shine on through this dreaded space Wake up foretold changing tides Time to move onto a better place Wake up foretold into outer space

Common Era 04:38
Electric lights and powered life All is flight for boring minds Don't break my heart ache Just give back the past ache Sarcastic, in blatant lies You're content to pass life by There's no glimmer in the eye of the beholder We're growing dumber even though we're slightly older Our time is slipping Away from the markets of glamorous captivity Your bills own you right out of simplicity Our time is slipping Constant pain is numbed by bills Sleepless nights and cheap half thrills Don't break my heart ache Just give back the past ache Weekend malls and plastic face You can't hide behind your eyes This is the age of rage and reason This is the rage of age and reason This is the stage of dying seasons This is an age of love and treason

Eclipse 07:37
Bright and blinding Opening new eyes The first glaring rays Are a surprise Born in the raising of the night Follow me up in front of light Shadow passing shadow fall As a blanket over all Who gives you to walk To the outer reaches Where the halo's edge finally breaches Who gives you to walk To the other view Where the halo's edge Grows into something new Eclipse of life Eclipse of night Who gives you to run From the blinding light Where the halo's edge Starts to ignite Who gives you to run To the darkened shelter Where the halo's edge Pulls and surrenders Eclipse of life Eclipse of sight Eclipse of dawn Eclipse of night It’s just one more passing by One more passing by A beginning dark And ending light

Nocturne 04:40
The hermit walks The shadows saw The journeys pause The nocturne dream Shades of grey have turned to black Nocturne finds the hermit is back Blacked pools sucked the light back The hermit finds his life has sacked Blinded night for those of chills The hermit has chose one surreal Shades of grey have turned to black Nocturne finds the hermit is back The pools of black have all stood back The nightshade of grey has foretold the fact The hermits death not cherished hacked The nightshade of grey has foretold the fact The surrounding silence shows with truth The nightshade of grey has foretold the fact The surrendering light shows with truth The hermits lantern with guilty patterns heart attack

Deception 07:31
When I take a glance Amongst the haze I see Those laughing as again A scowl of shame to see And so I look within There is no compromise This must be how I Intend to falsify Another version of you Take a look at me Now walk away from me Face to face Its all the same to me Take a look at me Its your memory Walk with me Courageous and free When I look beyond The visions haunting gaze Your face appears again Your scowl of shame to see And when we go away Will there be much surprise This must be how I Intend to fortify Another version of you Taken - Apart - This life Uncover the truth - The doubt The vice - That’s why forbidden Let up - Break down Stand up and be true

Turning Leaf 10:11
At this place I feel so grounded The base of my spine fatigue has now set in Redness of four has compounded The elephant of Prithvi has now set in Walking on the crescent moon Orange petals sensuality has now set in White lotus for six has depended The crocodile of Varuna has now set in Entering the jewel city ten petals yellow Lakini as Shakti islets of Langerhans set in Feeling the fire burn internally Letting the flame explode externally Letting my light expose for eternity Yellows - Moving - Turning - Living Compassion - Balance - Self loving Cleansing to bring the balance of my energy The petals are twelve with doves, hearted kind Making time to bring the balance of my synergy The hearted green with Anahotta, turning leaf Un hurt - Un stuck - Un beat - In sync Calming - Mourning - Green flame - In sync Blue flame Communicating the spirit of truth Blue flame Speaking the fountain of youth Blue flame Connecting the visuals of proof Blue flame Lighting the way for you now Moving upward the indigo ride Moving onward the sixth chakra line Ajna upon the temporal shrine Ajna seeing upon the ordinary sign Revealing my desire subconsciously Flying across the white moon intentionally Setting up my soul of destiny Outside - Yourself - Inner - Turning Balanced - Blooming - Lotus - Burning

Aurora 09:09
This mirror shows no reflection of me I drop it to the floor There’s broken glass at my feet You tear my heart by leaving Life is more than blood that is flowing on If I could undo one thing I wouldn’t have said anything more Now this dream is over And I’m losing color It’s shifting into the night sky My world is getting dimmer But a place still holds my glimmer Set to show the world what I had inside Follow me down the well lit path Follow me down to the pits of wrath When I get to the end I’ll explode in array of color Follow me out through the broken past Follow me out of the pits of wrath When I get to the end, I’ll open my eyes and start all over You’re on a path that splits and twists and turns You’re in a life that kicks and bites and burns And when you choose to stop, go left, or right The unworn path will make it worth the fight Reborn this night I First step into the unknown Reborn this night I First step into the unknown
