I’ve seen it all
 The writings on the wall don’t mean a thing I’ve watched them all
 The pictures on the screen are but a dream 
Baby... To drag myself right down Through the troubles of your mind You’ll come again for me 
Try to take what you can’t find Hell is on its way Help! Not for days... I’m growing tired
 Running in a race that I can’t win Step after step 
Frustration builds up 
 Won’t you let me be? Time and time and time again
 My sight was clouded by your deeds 
 Awful deeds... Maybe one day I’ll feel the light 
 I’ve heard so many pleasant things Hell is on its way 
 Help! Not for days... Tried to see it many times 
But when you’re drowning in yourself 
 You never feel alive Hell is on its way 
 Help! Not for days...

Just a Wall 03:16
I am the wall
 Standing through time 
People come near to greet me in silence I am the wall
 Shattered I stand
 The seasons consume me 
 They bury me alive All the things I’ve seen
 Fires on the green
 All the things I’ve heard
 Still I live between the divided I’m just a wall 
Brick after brick I’m the same as you all
 Everyday I wonder why I am here Why are we made like this? 
How do we stand full of holes? We are just walls 
Dying to fall... All the things we’ve seen 
Fires on the green
 All the things we’ve heard
 Now we live between the divided

Purge Me 04:31
Hey you, sitting down 
Won't you get up off that chair Time is running out 
You will never get away
 All this time
You've kept it in your mind Thoughts of loss
 They've stopped you in your tracks Home is far away, a feeling deep inside
 Now you have to rid yourself of every single lie Standing on the edge 
Wondering what there is for you now Time is running out 
You will never get away

Slingshot 06:34
Get in the Slingshot 
Shoot your life away now
 Get in the Slingshot 
Shoot my life away now Get in the Slingshot 
Shoot your life away now 
Get in the Slingshot 
Shoot my life away now Take me to the place where I belong
 Get in the Slingshot Judgement is not a thing to use Lose myself in you ‘Cause when you ride you might just feel like you’re safe
 'Cause when you’re in it something’s missing always Tension in our lives becomes the norm
 Get in the Slingshot
 Free me from my demons shoot me up
 Lose myself in you
 Take me to the place where I belong 
Get in the Slingshot
 Judgement is not a thing to use at all
 Get in the Slingshot ‘Cause when you ride you might just feel like you’re safe 
‘Cause when you’re in it something’s missing always People are always tryna get you to quit But they don’t know 
You’re simply tryna reach “OK” My whole life I’ve lived inside this shell
 Consumed by anger and fear 
Just an empty vessel walking your steps Do this, do that Stay still, think not
 It’s a lonely journey, you know? Everyday is an Inner Struggle 
Every moment, the Slingshot waiting to shoot me up into the sky And the earth, so warm and welcoming Always greets me to my demise
 Someday, sometime
I’ll find a place for you and I 
My Slingshot and I Get in the Slingshot Shoot your life away now
 Get in the Slingshot 
 Shoot my life away now Get in the Slingshot 
 Shoot your life away now 
Get in the Slingshot 
 Shoot my life away now

Love comes around In the end
 In the end 
A man walked so proud
 Far away Far one day He thought that he could turn all to gold 
 He told his maker
 “I won’t ever grow old” Fool... On one fine day 
He captured the sun 
Threw it around 
 Burning the ground 
Hurting the crowd Now he awaits, cold in the dark 
 Oh for the heavens
 To forgive his arrogance Love comes around In the end 
In the end
 Love come around
 Don’t forget Please don’t forget…

You know the writings on the wall 
The pictures on the screen
 They never came to mean a thing I tried to hide them in the sea 
As tears ran down my face 
I locked myself so far from grace 
A sudden warmth embraces me 
I can’t expect too much
 Is this the holy love unseen? 
The many days I spent alone
 The countless nights down in a hole 
Eternal season on my own I’ve heard them all until the end 
 Their heavy words kept building me 
I thought that I could always be "Crawl before you walk, 
 You walk before you run, 
 You run before you fly
‘ Cause when you’re ready, 
Listen well You’ll reach the sky” 
Heaven’s ready
 Climb on, steady
 Lose everything but your promised path Fear of nothing, rise once more 
 You fall down, face down No! -‘Cause in the end love comes around- 
-Hey you,- -Why don’t you stay longer?- -
You will see, 
The darkness is you and me- 
-Stay in darkness, stay with me- I’m done running from myself 
I’ve stopped hating what I am 
Can't you recognize the one you see? 
 Do you know what you become? 
 When the hammer hits you have no choice
 But growth through pain -Stay in darkness, stay with me-
