Everything moves Everything happens Reset to a broken zero Everything moves Everything happens Reset with history I’m mute I’m gone I’m weightless I’m heavy I’m see-through I’m a brick wall I’m pale I’m dark I can take it I can’t make it I’m a shell There’s no room for me in me The future is frightening I’ve seen what could be After the absence of choices Now I have to chose Do I fight To lose it all? Empty my head Empty my mind Empty my body Empty my head Empty my mind Empty my body Everything moves Everything happens Everything moves Reset with history Empty my head Empty my mind Empty my body Empty my head Empty my mind Empty my body

I hide in you With you I’m more than I can be Now I’m a missing person Lost by me I hide in you With you I’m more than I can see Am I a missing person Lost by me I’ve filled my blank spaces With things that I miss I’ve filled my blank spaces With stillness I’ve filled empty spaces With your changes I’ve filled empty spaces With your changes I’ve killed my empty spaces I’ve killed my empty spaces Blunt without a glow Give in and let go I’ve killed my empty spaces I’ve killed my empty spaces Blunt without a glow Give in and let go I hide in you With you I’m more than I can be Now I’m a missing person Lost by me I hide in you With you I’m more than I can see Am I a missing person Lost by me With you I’m more than I can see Am I a missing person Lost by me

The mornings have changed You sleep the change away As long as you can Tha mornings have changed I lie awake Next to you The mornings have changed You sleep the change away As long as you can Tha mornings have changed I lie awake The mornings have changed I contemplate Why I can’t move The mornings have changed And I wonder If I should The mornings have changed And I wonder What I should wish for How the mornings have changed The mornings have changed The mornings have changed You breathe the change away The mornings have changed I lie awake How the mornings have changed You breathe the change away How the mornings have changed

I loathe the tired me I hate it when I’m grey I thought I had grown Into someone special I loathe the tired me I hate it when I’m grey I thought I had grown Into someone special I need a flood To wash it all away Floods turn into tidal waves I need a flood To wash it all away Floods turn into tidal waves Black and white don’t have any shades As opposed to grey If deep is your trigger You better walk away Black and white don’t have any shades As opposed to grey If deep is your trigger You better walk away ‚cause I wont’t change

Acceleration 03:34
I found that two hearts Beating in my chest Merging together in unnatural pace There is no line There is no break I’m out of breath It’s time A body can’t handle two hearts A mind can only bear so many souls A body can’t handle two hearts A mind can only bear so many souls I found that your heart Is beating in my chest Merging together in unnatural pace Where is my line Where is my break Reality changed A body can’t handle two hearts A mind can only bear so many souls A body can’t handle two hearts A mind can only bear so many souls We all try to be happy all the time Should we just stop trying?

What now 02:36
Give me a chance to prove my resilience I’ll carry a burden Eyes on the light Give me chance to prove my commitment I’ll deal with a crisis Still make you smile Give me a chance to be something special I’ll be an artist, your teacher, your friend Give me a chance to show my perfection I’m juicy, I’m near you Still out of reach I’m searching the shambles For prove of my existence I’m searching the shambles For prove of my existence I’m searching the shambles For prove of my existence I’m searching the shambles For prove of my existence I’m searching the shambles For prove of my conviction I’m searching the shambles For Prove of my addiction I’m searching the shambles For prove of my existence I’m searching the shambles For prove of my resistance I’m searching the shambles For prove of my resistance

Confidence is a game I could throw the blame At many of you For how I exist in my body Confidence is a game Am I the only one That’s bad at pretending? Slow Steady Run Fast Rush Dare Stop Last Less Loud Dizzy Worn Reckless Brave Loved Torn Compromise is a maze Well hidden exits Of my own creation Compromise is a maze Lost my path along the way Slow Steady Run Fast Rush Dare Stop Last Less Loud Dizzy Worn Reckless Brave Loved Torn

Grip 04:01
Your steps leave traces Of determination In the snow Your flexing fingers Tell stories In the cold The grip of your hand The grip of your hand One word worth a thousand The grip of your hand The grip of your hand One word worth a thousand

I’ll keep you out I’ll let you in Welcome, dark twin I can see you now And I won’t hide Let’s dance Bright black Deep light You’re in my shadows You’re in my light Bright black Deep light You’re my shadow You’re my might This spinning mind Was made to find Tired of surrender Tired of sleep This spinning mind Has learned to fight Let’s dance Bright black Deep light You’re in my shadows You’re in my light Bright black Deep light You’re my shadow You’re my might Payed a price for my ease Got my darkness for free I know a language That nobody speaks Payed a price for my ease Got my darkness for free I know a language That nobody speaks Bright black Deep light You’re in my shadows You’re in my light Bright black Deep light You’re my shadow You’re my might
