1.
Memories echo off the walls of time Reflecting back into the center of our minds Reminding us of a past time Memories linger They surface like a mirage When you reach they vanish before your eyes Watch as our memories echo in time
2.
Breath 01:11
3.
Deja Vu 02:50
I’ve been here once before, now I’ve traveled these hallways I’ve unlocked these doors I don’t know when I came here But I know I will return Footsteps rewind for me to see Today is a memory Tomorrow is a mirage
4.
Static Sea 08:06
Do you see these shadows? Oh how they follow us. They linger in the darkness, Until they become us. We are the shadows of our fear. Lost in a static sea We remain Stagnant and sound asleep. Paralyzed on the shores of distant memories. We fall farther from ourselves and vanish into this darkness. The sun is rising. The darkness has disappeared. But I can't seem to escape these shadows that follow us.
5.
Hypnotized 05:41
I weave my web For you to get caught Into my intricate design For you to loose control I conduct you With unsure intent  For I need to control  Something outside of myself    We’re hypnotized by others’  Intricate designs
6.
Walls 04:26
These walls They grow These walls Are what I know They keep me from seeing Outside of my mind They shift & control What I'm able to see What I believe to know In this imaginary prison Where I lay Free to stay Free to go But I choose to stay here One day these walls will vanish For me to remain Where I've always been
7.
Elegy 06:38
When breathing becomes a curse & Perception is too hard to endure Your torches touch the water The mysteries of Death unearth The twilight of tragedy Brings us closer to the voices of mystery These voices call for us to step away from the light & to sink into the soils of the night The broken bells of a tragic dawn Rehearse This elegy for the shattered lives of woeful minds
