Each step generates infinite matches
Each drop ignites omnidirectional waves full of chances
Wait and forget lead ourselves to reject
I hesitate, unsure where I stand
Decline and hide as a means to survive
I wear the cloak of unmade decisions
I want to protect myself, closed in this glass bell
I want to stop the hands of time
With the shroud of doubts I shall compromise
As if there’s nothing left to be fighting for
As if there’s a blank page and nothing left to write on
Tangles in a swell, I can’t swim, my limbs froze
I am a withered, almost forgotten memory, I am an anomaly
I wear the cloak of unmade decisions
I want to protect myself, closed in this glass bell
I want to stop the hands of time
With the shroud of doubts I shall compromise
I wear this cloak and it’s been my oath
I want to protect myself in this glass bell
I do wanna stop the hands of time
With the shroud of doubts I shall compromise

Lowest End
05:09
|
|||
|
Our lives diminished broken down
Our gazes always on the ground
Our touch insensitive to any change
We’ve come to our lowest terms
We don’t know how to resist
We don’t know how to exist
Reached our own lowest end
Our own truth still stands
We do not feel anything, anymore
There were times we could find our inner core
We are surrounded by countless feeds, we hide in a cage
We can’t decide, face down, stare at our screens
We have reached our own lowest end
And we pretend our own truth still stands
We do know how to crease
We do know how to cease
We have reached our own lowest end
And we pretend our own truth still stands
We want to feel something once more
We want to retrieve our inner core
Countless feeds will be forever ignored
One day we will stare at our screens no more

Choices
03:59
|
|||
|
A lonely star, sends a feeble light
I raise my head while I’m being hypnotised
I feel paralysed, my limbs motionless
By the first step…. I am dread
Choices I’m afraid to make
In this bubble there’s no escape
Gather my strength to reach for a better place (another way)
Choices I’m afraid to make
The first move is the hardest to take
With my mind I can feel I’m already there (but I’m stuck anyway)
I feel the warmth of a glorious sun
I want more, what I get is not enough
A frozen breeze blows away my hope
Nowhere I go, nothing I get
Do you believe that my journey is a dead end?
Do you believe that there’s no getaway from here?
Choices I’m afraid to make
In this bubble there’s no escape
Gather my strength to reach for a better place (another way)
Choices I’m afraid to make
The first move is the hardest to take
With my mind I can feel I’m already there (but I’m stuck anyway)
Don’t you believe you are aware
I do believe I’m not dead yet… I just need one step

Last Minute Call
04:25
|
|||
|
Is there any chance I get can get? Still one more second
Can’t you understand that I am standing in front of a major crossroad?
I sense there’s a pressing rush, no answer I can clutch
There’s no time here to fight back, so you make me feel awe-struck
If I were to count all the ways my life has turned out
If I had to track all the time I spent
If I had to reckon all the choices I made
I’d have a long story to tell that brought me right in front of you
It’s our nature, we come to the last minute call
is it always a matter of win or fall?
It’s our default we come to the last minute call
It’s time for a change, now it’s time to move on
How come are you running away? Even without a last word?
After all the efforts I made, after all the tears I’ve shed
Will I catch a breathing space? Or just ride a long straight lane?
There’s a junction ahead, a decision to make and I know I will find you there again
It’s our nature, we come to the last minute call
is it always a matter of win or fall?
It’s our default we come to the last minute call
It’s time for a change, now it’s time to move on
Is there any chance I can get? Just one more second
Here I am again that I stand in front of a major crossroad
I know it’s a looping rush, still no answer to be clutched
I will always fight back, I won’t be awe-struck
I counted all the ways my life has turned out
I tracked all the time I have spent
I reckoned all the choices I made
This is a way long story to tell of how I ride next to you

Where The Shadows Lead
04:35
|
|||
|
Upside down I move forward
Trying hard to make things undone
Deconstruct my decisions, collecting them all
Building an intricate map full of plots and loopholes
Where the shadows lead
My doubts rise at great speed
I took those paths that lead me to nothing I had to witness what was beyond
To make sure I was not wrong
There is a pin stuck in me
It is looking for the root of my scream
Desperate to gain full control
I need to free my mind and let it go
Overwhelmed I can’t even drop any tear
I need to navigate at sight with no fear
Where the shadows lead
My doubts rise at great speed
I took those paths that lead me to nothing I had to witness what was beyond
To make sure I was not wrong

Leaving something down the road
As traces of our lack of control
There’s no awareness of where to go
Our life is just a kind of mere foe
There’s no looking back to what’s left undone
The way behind us becomes evenly blurred
Lying to ourselves, this is our best place to hide
We locked the others outside with no reach of sight
We fill our own lives with missed choices aside
We believed it’s the path to be free
The trails of unfinished things
We alter our gaze no longer we recognise
Our bright state of being
It’s our trails of unfinished….
We want our past traces to be aligned
As if it were the only way to be able to admire
We seek for backward lights
Praying for pure desires
We fill our own lives with missed choices aside
We believed it’s the path to be free
It’s the trails of unfinished things
We alter our gaze no longer we recognise
Our bright state of being
It’s the trails of unfinished….
It’s the trails of unfinished things
It’s the trails of unfinished….
It’s the trails of unfinished things
Leaving something down the road
As traces of our lack of control
There’s no awareness of where to go
Our life is just a kind of mere foe
Lying to ourselves, this is our best place to hide
We locked the others outside with no reach of sight
We fill our own lives with missed choices aside
We believed it’s the path to be free
It’s the trails of unfinished….
It’s the trails of unfinished things
We alter our gaze no longer we recognise
Our bright state of being
It’s our trails of unfinished things
It’s the trails of unfinished….
It’s the trails of unfinished things
We fill our own lives with missed choices aside
We believed it’s the path to be free
It’s the trails of unfinished things
Leaving something down the road
As traces of our lack of control
There’s no awareness of where to go
Our life is just a kind of mere foe
