Answer It
I know they think I'm crazy
But I hear the voices too
A constant babbling of nonsense
It's all I know, it's true
I'm just a man, trapped in my mind
The memories they never unwind
I'm just a fool, lost in my thoughts
(Drowning in my thoughts)
They all say I was insane
That I don't give a damn
But they never heard the voices
The ones that tell me what I am
I'm just a man, trapped in my mind
The memories they never unwind
I'm just a fool, lost in my thoughts
(Drowning in my thoughts)
For me living my whole life
A prisoner in my head
The voices never let me hide
They're all I've ever had
I'm just a man, trapped in my mind
The memories they never unwind
I'm just a fool, lost in my thoughts
(Drowning in my thoughts)
I know they think I'm crazy
But I hear the voices too
A constant babbling of nonsense
It's all I know, that's true
Every
Tangled roots and twisted vines
Living where the sunlight shines
Sharing breath and sharing space
In the dance of life's embrace
Eagles soar while rivers flow
Mountains high and valleys low
In the circle we're entwined
Everything we need, we find
Symbiosis everywhere
In the water in the air
Living life in harmony
That's the way it's meant to be
Flowers bloom and bees take flight
Gentle hush of stars at night
Every part in place aligned
Every soul and heart combined
Stars above and earth below
Silent whispers that we know
We're together in this song
In each other we belong
Symbiosis everywhere
In the water in the air
Living life in harmony
That's the way it's meant to be
Another Day
Another day begins, feeling so alone
The memories of you, they still linger on
Your scent, your touch, your laugh, they're gone
But the emptiness you left, it weighs me down
I'm trying to move on, trying to break free
From the chains of our past, from the love that used to be
But everywhere I go, I see your face
A constant reminder of the love we can't erase
Oh, the pain of losing you, it's more than I can bear
I'm left here with nothing, but tears and despair
I'm searching for a way, to heal this broken heart
But without you, my love, we are worlds apart
I thought our love would last, thought we'd grow old
But now I'm left with nothing, but a shattered soul
I wish I could turn back time, make things right
But the truth is you're gone and I'm alone tonight
I'm trying to move on, trying to break free
From the chains of our past, from the love that used to be
But everywhere I go, I see your face
A constant reminder of the love we can't erase
Oh, the pain of losing you, it's more than I can bear
I'm left here with nothing, but tears and despair
I'm searching for a way, to heal this broken heart
But without you, my love, we are worlds apart
The nights feel endless, cold as the sea
Each thought of you, it keeps haunting me
I tell myself I’ll heal, I’ll find the light
But shadows surround me, and I’m lost in the night
Maybe someday, we'll find our way back home
And the love we shared, it won't be gone
But until then, I'll be here, waiting for you
Because the love we had, it's the only thing that's true
Oh, the pain of losing you, it's more than I can bear
I'm left here with nothing, but tears and despair
I'm searching for a way, to heal this broken heart
But without you, my love, we are worlds apart
So I'll just keep on singing, these words of pain
Hoping that someday, you'll hear my refrain
And maybe then, we'll find our way back home
And the love we had, it won't be gone
Just Say Anything
Open your eyes, open your mind
There's a world out there, don't leave it behind
Life is a gift, it's yours to design
So stand up, speak out, never be blind
Just say anything, let your voice be heard
Don't hide, don't hold it in, speak your words
You've got the power, don't be afraid
Just say anything, seize the day
In this life we live, we've got to be bold
Your truth is your own, no one else's gold
Don't let fear hold you back any more
Embrace who you are, walk out that door
This world needs your voice, needs your heart
When you speak your mind, you'll never be apart
From the truth of who you are inside
When you speak up, you'll be alive
So open your mouth, let your voice be heard
The world is waiting, speak your truth, spread the word
Just say anything, don’t hold back now
Your words can shift it, let them show you how
Forever Free
From the mountains to the sea
There's a fire burning in me
A restless soul, an urgent call
No turning back, standing tall
Oh I need your love, yes I do
To chase away the darkness too
In your arms, that's where I'll be
Forever yours, wild and free
The open road, a river's flow
Taking me where I've got to go
Following the sun, sailing on
Until the day is done
Oh I need your love, yes I do
To chase away the darkness too
In your arms, that's where I'll be
Forever yours, wild and free
We'll dance beneath the moonlight glow
Surrender all, watch the seasons go
What's been and what's yet to be
Entangled, you and me
Oh I need your love, yes I do
To chase away the darkness too
In your arms, that's where I'll be
Forever yours, wild and free
Drums Are Life
I am the drums, the drums are I,
We are one, in rhythm I'll die
Feeling every note, every bass hit
My body moves, my hands grip
In the pocket, I feel at home
Deep in the groove, I'm never alone
Like a force, like a power
Pushing through, in each hour
I am a beast, behind the kit
Unleashing hell, ripping it
A primal urge, a wild call
I answer the drums, my fate is sealed
Adrenaline, blood starts to pump
The rhythm I play, never stops
I lose myself, slip into the trance
I am the drums, I am the dance
The double bass, my heart pounds
A frenzy I'm in, no backups around
All I am is the crashes and smashes
My soul's expression is the thrashes
I am a force when I'm behind
The drum throne, like I am mind
The sticks are my hands, I never sleep
I am the drums, I am complete
Guarded
Your eyes wear a guarded shade,
A wall that's built to never break.
Behind those eyes, your heart's afraid,
To let the world see what it takes.
The pain of your past casts a shadow,
A heavy burden to bear.
You carry it with you each day,
And though you're strong, it's still there.
But deep inside, a spark remains,
A light that's never gone.
It whispers, "Be brave and trust again,"
And live life to the dawn.
Your soul is a garden once green,
Now dormant, drained of its hue.
But it's spring again, and you've seen,
That life's unfair, but still true.
The heart is a heavy load,
That people can't see.
But if you give your love a road,
It's bound to be free.
So let your guard fall away,
And let love in to stay.
The heart is a heavy load,
That you don't have to pay.
Blink Twice
I'm stuck in this, it's driving me mad
A prison of my own, I feel so bad
The world outside, a blur in my sight
Paralyzed by fear, trapped in an endless fight
Blink twice (if you need) – that's all they said
Hope is for the helpless, they said I was dead
But I'm still here, breathing, in my own skin
This body's a cage, and I'm lost within
I need a way out, a break from this hell
But how do I escape, when I can't tell
My voice is a whisper, my muscles won't bend
This silent scream echoes, it never will end
Blink twice (if you need) – that's all they said
Hope is for the helpless, they said I was dead
But I'm still here, breathing, in my own skin
This body's a cage, and I'm lost within
They say fight, but how can I fight?
When it betrays me, day and night
I'm fading away, with all my might
Will anyone notice, when I vanish from sight?
Blink twice (if you need) – that's all they said
Hope is for the helpless, they said I was dead
But I'm still here, breathing, in my own skin
This body's a cage, and I'm lost within
Lost within... lost within...
Fastened
Fastened I am to the mast,
Waves crash, the wind blasts
I held on with all my might,
Fearsome stormy night
Arise, the tempest oars
We ride through wind and roar
Alas, the shores await
Sailors brave, fate's debate
The galleon bends and sways
Tattered sails, perils ways
Battered by storm's free reign
Crews obey my command's vain
Arise, the tempest oars
We ride through wind and roar
Alas, the shores await
Sailors brave, fate's debate
Ethereal, the mists profound
Voices moan from the deep profound
Falling, into oblivion's grasp
Venturing beyond the map
Arise, the tempest oars
We ride through wind and roar
Alas, the shores await
Sailors brave, fate's debate
Aboard we ride, to the test
Steering true, gazing ahead
Conquering nature's fury's wrath
Voyager's path.
Two Evils
Turn left or turn right it’s a losing fight
Between blackened hearts and twisted lies
Choices blur in the smoky night
Wading deep in poisoned tides
Two evils stand before my eyes
Shadows dance and devils smile
The lesser one still hides its guise
In this dark and tempting trial
Smoke and mirrors trap the soul
Creeping doubts and shattered dreams
Holding on while they roll
Through treacherous schemes (drowns our screams!)
Two evils stand before my eyes
Shadows dance and devils smile
The lesser one still hides its guise
In this dark and tempting trial
In this gamble there's no prize
Just a masquerade of sin
Through the fire (fire) or frostbite’s lies
Both roads lead me back again
Two evils stand before my eyes
Shadows dance and devils smile
The lesser one still hides its guise
In this dark and tempting trial
Two Evils

Skraxthro Zentarai Blaythics
Sounds like hieroglyphics
I'm no cryptographer, I confess
Unravel the mysteries you express
Secret message, crafted in rhyme
Only the wise, crack the sign.
Unscramble the letters, read in reverse
Crack the cipher, you've got the verse!
Skraxthro Zentarai Blaythission
Maybe it's an alien transmission
Distorted signal from an unknown station
Perhaps noise caused the frustration
Secret message, crafted in rhyme
Only the wise, crack the sign.
Unscramble the letters, read it in reverse
Crack the cipher, you've got the verse!
Skraxthro Zentarai Blaythusall
Could be the blueprint for hidden treasure
Or maybe a symbolic measure
Someone's playing a joke on us all
Secret message, crafted in rhyme
Only the wise, crack the sign.
Unscrambled letters, read it in reverse
Crack the cipher, you've got the verse!
Skraxthro Zentarai Blaythiskrat
Riddle me this, riddle me that
Secrets in letters, just like this and that

No More Hiding
Wearing this mask, day after day
Trying to hide the truth, felt myself slip away
Into a world where I couldn't breathe
To break free, it was all I could be
No masquerade, no lie, I'm standing tall
(No more, my will), I will not fall
I'm done pretending, I'm done with the pain
I'm ripping off this mask, I'm coming up for air again
I'm feeling dizzy, I'm feeling confused
What's real, what's not real, I'm struggling to choose
The world says one thing, but my body and mind
Tell me another, it's so hard to unwind
No masquerade, no lie, I'm standing tall
(No more, my will), I will not fall
I'm done pretending, I'm done with the pain
I'm ripping off this mask, I'm coming up for air again
I'm finding my way to a clearer space
Dropping the lies, I'm turning the page
Leaving confusion behind, I'm walking towards the fight
I'm breathing in, feeling alive
No masquerade, no lie, I'm standing tall
(No more, my will), I will not fall
I'm done pretending, I'm done with the pain
I'm ripping off this mask, I'm coming up for air again
I'm choosing to live, to fight, to survive
No longer controlled, I'm breaking the lies
My mask is gone, I'm finally free
To be me, to breathe, to think, to see
Immortal Sin
I see the world and it makes me sick
A bunch of sheep, blind and tricked
The system's rigged, they're in a trance
Too doped up on the lies they can't advance
This damn reality they live in
Wake up, wake up, take the blame
Don't be a slave to this broken game
My life is mine to fight
For freedom, before it's too late
Break free from this heavy weight
I'll be alright, I'll be okay
Sick of this fake world we live each day
I feel the rage, I'm on the edge
I'm ready to light this place on fire
Watch it all rise, let’s take it higher!
The powers that be, they don't give a damn
Keeping us down with their iron hand
Controlling our minds, with fake news and fame
Distracting us while they play their sick games
But I see right through the treachery
Wake up, wake up, take the blame
Don't be a slave to this broken game
My life is mine to fight
For freedom, before it's too late
Break free from this heavy weight
I'm alright, I'm okay
But I'm sick of this fake world we live each day
I feel the rage, I'm on the edge
I'm ready to light this place on fire
Watch it all rise, let’s take it higher!
Enough is enough, it's time to rise
Fight back against this broken world's lies
United we stand to make a change
Refuse to be held down, refuse to rearrange
I'm NOT alright, I'm NOT okay
Sick of this fake world we live each day
I feel the rage, I'm on the edge
I'm ready to light this place on fire
Watch it all rise, let’s take it higher!
Take a stand, break the mold
I'm done being sold
A legacy I will instill
Free to form my own will
I will not be stopped, I will not give in
My fight for everything, my immortal sin
A Way Out
Footsteps echo through the empty night,
Breath on fire, no end in sight,
Streetlights flicker, shadows stretch thin,
Heart pounding loud, and the race begins.
Run, run, faster now,
The night is closing in somehow,
Feet hit the ground, don’t turn around,
They're getting closer, won't slow down.
Run, run, no time to fall,
Don’t look back, you’ll lose it all.
Twist down the corner, pulse skips a beat,
Gravel beneath, the slipping concrete,
Eyes on the fence, gotta leap through,
But they’re right behind, yeah, they’re coming too.
Run, run, faster now,
The night is closing in somehow,
Feet hit the ground, don’t turn around,
They're getting closer, won't slow down.
Run, run, no time to fall,
Don’t look back, you’ve lost it all.
(They're calling your name) but you can't stop,
(The chase never ends) until you drop,
Adrenaline high, you hear the sound,
But freedom’s just another block downtown.
See the finish line just ahead,
No more fear, you break the thread,
They fade away, you’ve pulled ahead,
Out of the dark and into red.
Run, run, you made it now,
The night can’t touch you anyhow,
Feet hit the ground, you turned around,
You’re free, you broke them, never bound.
Run, run, you didn’t fall,
Look ahead, you’ve won it all.
Keep running, yeah, you’re soaring,
The sky's ahead, and the day is calling.

Journey of a Bill
I’ve been passed around, from hand to hand
Lost in pockets, crumpled, and grand
From the store to the streets, I’ve traveled far
From city lights to a sleepy old bar
Something ‘bout the roads I roam
Feels like I’m always coming home
I’m the story you don’t hear
Living in wallets' cheer
Faded green, oh dear
Life's a journey, crystal clear
All these tales I could unfold
(I’m) Like a leaf in seasons of gold
From the farmer's hat to the banker’s bow
I’ve seen it all; where do I go now?
Riding the winds of currency
Just a piece of history
I’m the story you don’t hear
Living in wallets' cheer
Faded green, oh dear
Life's a journey, crystal clear
Tales of exchange, I dream
Shuffled in someone’s scheme
Ride on this paper dream
Floating through life's extreme
I’m the story you don’t hear
Living in wallets' cheer
Faded green, oh dear
Life's a journey, crystal clear
Last Closed
Lights dim low in this place
Empty seats
Empty space
Last drinks
Final round
Endings speak
Silent sound
Bar stools
Spinning slow
Goodbyes stealing the show
Curtains fall
Night is close
Closing time
Morning rose
Last call
Echoes clear
Closing time
Hold what's near
Endings come
Night's embrace
Memories stay
Time won't erase
Shadows stretch
Whispers fly
Silent streets
Moonlit sky
Lock the door
Turn the key
End in sight
Set us free
Moments fade
Yet they stay
In our minds
Our own way
Every ending
Fresh start
Feel the beat
In your heart
Last call
Echoes clear
Closing time
Hold what's near
Endings come
Night's embrace
Memories stay
Time won't erase
