lyrics

Passion twisted to love
The only one
Who can save me from this?
From my promise, of a masterpiece?

My heart is my guide
Constantly vexing me
But it's the compass
That I devote my purpose to

Let me fall and find
The demons that trust me
when I don't trust myself

I’m stuck to these blinders
Already living my dream
And I honestly know,
that I just don’t know it yet

The sky is still the same
No matter how far I go

Those things we pursued
Left us speechless and without a clue
A journey we took
In the shades of blue

When you see yourself
Emptied from you goals
Shaking off your hide
Desperately shouting

Find hope for me
Find hope for me
Find hope for me

But why keep on painting
layer upon layer of insecurity
but why fight for freedom
When you don’t get
Any peace at all
No peace at all
No peace at all

This is why I’m standing here
Clinging on to the paintbrush of existence
Knowing
You designed me,
and I told you
Life isn't about finding yourself.
It's about creating yourself.
I will make this life a work of art
For no one else to see.

This is why I’m standing here with you,
My friend.

I have yet to listen to this entire album without skipping a single track. Like an enchanter, the album keeps your attention with its effortless flow throughout, despite having crushing riffs, progressive breakdowns, and epic-length songs. gebs
