Set Sail

Alright let's go!
This day we sail full speed, that is
The compass shows where the heart is
Disinterred graves behind us
Prepare the ship, raise the mast
We hope throughout the crew's on board
We always needed time
Fucking time
Well here we go again
Hesitation’s dead
We spent our days patching the sails
Ignoring ports
No resting on the docks
We’ve long now set our course
Our course
I feel like a new atmosphere is filling my lungs
We’ve raised from the dead
We could find, if we wanted, an end
By thunder swift and strong
We won’t fear no storm
Sailing the seas could come with a cost
Clink your mugs now, and raise a toast
(To what's coming next and so long friends)
On top of the crow’s nest, in sight
There’s a cloudless and clear blue sky
But this isn’t a crow’s flight
The oceans could swallow us anytime
If hope goes any which way
Let it be the air in our sails
(From deep seas to sharp reefs, We'll always)
In right places, wait for the right time (Wait for the right time)
(To keep an open mind will lead you)
I forgot that life’s flow
Is always more wise (To being more wise)
The golden fleece could not be
So far to find
Motivated by a shine on the horizon
X marks the spot (x2)
Could it be a treasure chest or an illusion
We're not cutting a knot (x2)
Spent our time in Jones’ depths
Put our persistence to the test
The heart’s what keeps us on course
Determined, revived, defying all the odds
The cannons strong, they won’t give out
Our lion figurehead stands proud
The heart’s what keeps us on course
With open jaws devouring swollen waves
If hope goes any which way
Let it be the air in our sails
(From deep seas to sharp reefs, We'll always)
In right places, wait for the right time (Wait for the right time)
(To keep an open mind will lead you)
I forgot that life’s flow
Is always more wise (To being more wise)
The golden fleece could not be
So far to find
This day
From the depths of the oceans we rise
Emerge and embark
On a journey through clashing rocks
And waves
We hope throughout
The crew’s onboard
And we won’t drop the anchors
Till the shore

The First Step

I'll be in silence
'Cause feelings gave away our needs
So forget it
And keep your distance, please
I smell envy like a swamp full
(At need of help)
Of confidence for all these wrongs
(For all these words)
Unbearable burden a coward's words
Just save your breath
My ears hear myself
You will regret it there's no beauty
(A coward's words)
There's no fairytale inside a blurry soul
(How d'you want it now)
The burn thats inside me as unexplained hate for myself
Everyone's aware now
They are ashamed of my being
But I didn't hide, no I didn't clear the air
A picture of my funeral
And how I'm done
It always crossed my mind
Who would mourn
Who'd stand by me
Did I change the world
The burn that's inside me as unexplained hate for myself
Everyone's aware now
They are ashamed of my being
But I didn't hide, no I didn't clear the air
It’s said one’s life flashes
Right before their eyes
(I exaggerate and overstate)
Most cherished memories
(About why we are here for)
Before you die
Awareness could last
Anywhere from a moment
(Cause with others time isn't enough)
(But alone feels like an ...)
To an...
Eternity

Your healing words they spin, they spin around
Those nights I need that sound
Well I know this place like the back of
My hand, the sky's so familiar
The view, the aura felt like back then
Left a boy came back as a man
Well known voice the glad silence breaker
Structure my thoughts, prepares them so well
Senses flourished through warmth
When a sunbeam covers your dark
When it warms your heart
The view of the city shed light on me everyday he said
From here everything seems so small and helpless
When you feel like it see clear
Just like we do from above
The loved ones you dismayed
Wondering what was on your mind
See no evil in you
And this won't be the last time
I can't apply myself
This never, never, never, never settles the score
(Life is calling)
I glared at hellish eyes
But I've never, never, never, never done it like you
Life is calling
Ca-ca-ca-ca-calling
Your healing words
They spin they spin around
Since I couldn't place a value on
Simple things in life
The night's sky was close for our hands to reach
Our dreams a reality's breach
But I won't stop until I'm dead
Left a boy came back as a man
The faces and fears changed but
The story again is so familiar
It never gets better they were wrong
You just get better all along
The view of the city shed light on me everyday he said
From here everything seems so small and helpless
When you feel like it see clear
Just like we do from above
The loved ones you dismayed
Wondering what was on your mind
See no evil in you
And this won't be the last time
I can't apply myself
This never, never, never, never settles the score
(Life is calling)
I glared at hellish eyes
But I've never, never, never, never done it like you
Life is calling
Ca-ca-ca-ca-calling
Your healing words
They spin they spin around
Since I couldn't place a value on
Simple things in life

Principles

A match behind my back
This ground and gasoline
Will touch
My plan's to burn
This place to the ground
Spit it out, spit it out again
All is gone cause I'm urgent, failed, ingrate
Before you say what comes next
I'll give you a taste of how easily I could die
In the name of friendship and the faith in love
With those words
Nothing seems prototype
We're all good in words, yours have their ways to confuse
Just to make
Your face prettier
Endlessly your honest lies
Shut the voice of guilt inside you
But who could ever thought?
Principles led
To respect everything
Be thankful this time
Once a slave but tommorow a king
Well I can say things
Just to bleed your hands
And you can say
That you're limitless
My voice exact a toll
Detachment's how yours sound
As I keep saying things
For the life we drowned
It's nowhere now
Does it matter how?
I swallow down poisonous feelings now
Again and again and again
I vomit ghosts and fears a pain without tears
Again and again and again
Principles led
To respect everything
Be thankful this time
Once a slave but tommorow a king
You could have saved this
It's nowhere now
Does it matter how?
Well I can say things
Just to bleed your hands
And you can say
That you're limitless
My voice exact a toll
Detachment's how yours sound
As I keep saying things
For the life we drowned
It's nowhere now
Does it matter how?
You're killing someone
Who could kill for us
This place won't be
More than a burnt memory
You could have saved this
You should have saved us
Principles led
To respect everything
Be thankful this time
Once a slave but tommorow a king

Well go on and spread the news
Go oh oh oh
I'll be fine they were never my friends
Will perfection turn right into wrong
Who knows?
Or maybe that perfect has gone so far
Did I deserve this?
You never gave me a second chance
My awful experience enchains the aura that used to embrace you
You planned a way out when I turned to cast off the shackles
Come on throw the dart
Set in motion my heart
Turn this little gear
Functioned to eliminate the fear
I hate all these fights
If I could turn on the lights
Will you laugh?
I am scared
Just like you about the end
Draw a boy next the girl
Draw her happy in hell
Make her smile while I sing
Yeah the boy is just like me
One more shot and I'll perceive
If you worth what I feel
I don't think this will help
'Cause for now I'm a stranger
Cross my fingers and I hope
You'll never show me the door
You'll be the night's shooting stars
And I'll hide just to fool you at Mars
Let my journey continue
I'll let your planets shine
If your stars sing for me the next line
"Everything is gonna be fine so let's celebrate our faults"
Steadily descending right from the top
Kickstart my pulse.
On your feet there lies a broken heart
Kick it!
You'll be the night's shooting stars
(Promise my path will cross)
And I'll hide just to fool you at Mars
(With yours someday)
With mine ...
Come on throw the dart
Set in motion my heart
Turn this little gear
Functioned to eliminate the fear
I hate all these fights
If I could turn on the lights
Will you laugh?
I am scared
Just like you about the end
Draw a boy next the girl
(You'll be the night's shooting stars)
Draw her happy in hell
Make her smile while I sing
(And i'll hide just to fool you at Mars)
Yeah the boy is just like me
Let my journey continue
I'll let your planets shine
If your stars sing for me the next line
"Everything's gonna be fine so lets celebrate our faults"
I'll let your planets shine
If your stars sing for me the next line
"Everything's gonna be fine so lets celebrate our faults"
