1. Reroute To Remain

It started as a whisper
Now try to dodge this roar
Unified, the most forceful way to go

Waste this one?
It's up to you
We need this revolution

Destroy the pattern
Anything that separates
Across the times.
Who dares to follow?

For years we wandered these circles
Hold onto whatever lie gets us through

Design new latitudes
Find ways to channel bliss (uh-ouh)
Us defined, it's too fragile to neglect
Reroute to remain (uoh)
Reroute to remain

Never want to look back in greed
Can I please have your attention?

There are mountains to cross
For all that are willing
There are never ending treasures
That await you

For years we wandered these circles
Hold onto whatever lie gets us through

Design new latitudes
Find ways to channel bliss (uh-ouh)
Us defined, it's too fragile to neglect
Reroute to remain (uoh)
Reroute to remain

[Solo]

Design new latitudes
Find ways to channel bliss (uh-ouh)
Us defined, it's too fragile to neglect
Reroute to remain (uoh)
Reroute to remain

2. System

I cannot frame, that's why I lose control
I aim, I stumble and I fall
Our adaptation can't be faithful
Your world does not attract me

This is the end you see
There is no more truth in me
As if you would deserve it
You are my enemy

I can't ignore the way you make me bleed
I hate when you throw my thoughts against the wall
Got to wake up and make a stand
The desperation forces another mistake

I count again
I know who to blame
My life in vain
Who said I was sane?
Who said I was sane?

Follow your instinct
It usually takes you home
Don't let these words tear you down, oh, down

You see me hanging
By the end of the rope
I tell you…

Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

I blame and run, sadly all too often
I dive into the day without your sympathy
I tend to try but lack the focus
Becoming a distant memory

What once was is quickly forgotten
All wrapped up inside
Delete all resemblance
I feel your relief

Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

Follow your instinct
It usually takes you home

Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

Slow I go
And the wait seems to be over
All that I know
Is that my life has become such a waste for you

3. Drifter

It's hard to believe
You could be such a disease
Can no longer separate what's real
Hope that fate will find me safe

All my reflections laugh at me
You made me hide my name
It just feels bad to say
That there'll be another day

What you wanted was impossible to define
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright

What you wanted is a mystery to me
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright

Building a room with no doors
Is this the last of me?
Wring the rag for the last few drops
Falling into infinity

What you wanted was impossible to define
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright

[Solo]

What you wanted was impossible to define
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright

4. Trigger

Have we lost the spark or a guide?
What's the latest on the screen?
Can't be too late to turn around
I need all the help from you

I need to find
Something to blame for a long lost time

I am running from something, that I don't know
I am searching for something, which way to go?
I am trying to separate, what's real
I'm running in a wheel

Is it dark or is it bright?
What's the latest on the screen?
Please, tell me my name
I haven't checked it today

I am running from something, that I don't know
I am searching for something, which way to go?
I am trying to separate, what's real
I'm running in a wheel

(Ah!)

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?

Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today there are only a few
The sign of times my friend

Avoid infinity
Are you for real?

Just scratch the surface
And you will find
Something to blame for a long lost time

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?

[Solo]

Just scratch the surface
And you will find
Something to blame for a long lost time

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?

Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today there are only a few
The sign of times my friend

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?

Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today there are only a few

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why

Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today there are only a few

5. Cloud Connected

People like you
You live in a dream world
You despise the outside
And you fear you're the next one

It's in your dream
There's just one question
Should I kill?
Or should I be left behind?

Sick and tired
Of all your complaints
This is the hour
We bring it down

I've come to realize
With every little glimpse, you fade
I was told, that I could fly
Oh, when least expected
Cloud connected

You seem to be
So introverted
How come we fail?
With all that is given

You crossed the line
You remember my name
Time runs backwards
As we're heading that way

I've come to realize
With every little glimpse, you fade
I was told, that I could fly
Oh, when least expected
Cloud connected

Cloud connected

[Solo]

I've come to realize
With every little glimpse, you fade
I was told, that I could fly
Oh, when least expected
Cloud connected

6. Transparent

Consume all the obscene
Persuade the most hideous and ugly
Under every pile and stone
A rebirth, for you to find

Freedom is to be able to go in any direction
So take the uncertain path

One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don't lie to yourself

Secrets left above the grave (it's not for one to keep)
You're all so self-destructive
Spend more time with the broken (see what became of their mistake)
You know you're lost when you feel transparent

Be at one with the wind
Even if it's a struggle
Make this your priority

Open all your senses to new impressions
Act like all that was has vanished

One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don't lie to yourself

Secrets left above the grave (it's not for one to keep)
You're all so self-destructive
Spend more time with the broken
You know you're lost when you feel transparent

Ah!

[Solo]

One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don't lie to yourself

Secrets left above the grave (it's not for one to keep)
You're all so self-destructive
Spend more time with the broken (see what became of their mistake)
You know you're lost when you feel transparent

You know you're lost
You know you're lost
You really know you're lost when you feel transparent

7. Dawn Of A New Day

The thoughts from yesterday forgotten
I like the way this new skin feels
Bring me splinters of tomorrow
Collect the parts where I win

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this

Concrete breath and dust filled tears
A one way ride to inner peace
I never thought I'd join the others
Those who use the dice to solve

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this

[Solo]

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise

Against the grain
Against the odds

Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again

Against the grain
Against the odds
Against the grain
Against the odds

Against the grain
Against the odds...

8. Egonomic

Ouh, a mass illusion
Blind men in a line
They smother their fires with gasoline

A stranger's contribution
Everybody's on the run
No clue, where they are heading

Ouh

A spineless attempt
Have we lost it completely?
It always ends up in a mess

A liar's ambition, praised like a king
Every day in every way we are getting weaker
You won't go far with the life that you're living
Every day in every way we are getting weaker

Slow and calculated
Afraid of the sleeping well
Never ever reach the goal

A liar's ambition, praised like a king
Every day in every way we are getting weaker
You won't go far with the life that you're living
Every day in every way we are getting weaker

[Solo]

A liar's ambition, praised like a king
Every day in every way we are getting weaker
You won't go far with the life that you're living
Every day in every way we are getting weaker

Ah!

9. Minus

Drug me, infiltrate my never land
Like the flood-tide drowning the shore
Drug me, you are all over me
You watch my blood begin to boil

I love that lullaby
Start me up again
Electric spine
Open mind

I leave you negative behind
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

Inhale the light, relax for some time
The world outside stays numb tonight
Free your mind, express the forgotten
The world inside is yours tonight

Please me, deliver the insane
In the chaos I find peace
Please me, remind the gods of my name
I believe there is one seat left for me

I love that lullaby
Start me up again
Electric spine
Open mind

I leave you negative behind
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

Inhale the light, relax for some time
The world outside stays numb tonight
Free your mind, express the forgotten
The world inside is yours tonight

[Solo]

I leave you negative behind
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

Inhale the light, relax for some time
The world outside stays numb tonight
Free your mind, express the forgotten
The world inside is yours tonight

10. Dismiss The Cynic

Will we find a solution
When we add all numbers?
Like they are supposed to be?
None close, start all over

If we fail our expectations
We fall into the deepest void
Is there a limit to how many times
We will dust ourselves off?

(What does it take for sanity to remain?)
(sanity, sanity, sanity to remain - dismiss the cynics)
(sanity, sanity, sanity, sanity - it's the cynics)

The mystery of time
Oh, listen to me, carefully
The mystery of time
It's you and me
That's all we need

Would you choose supremacy
If it led to isolation?
Could you handle the solitude?
Would you still prefer the throne?

The mystery of time
Oh, listen to me, carefully
The mystery of time
It's you and me
That's all we need

[Solo]

The mystery of time
Oh, listen to me, carefully

The mystery of time
Oh, listen to me, carefully

11. Free Fall

Mirror, mirror, how far will I go away?
Despite the foundation, I am falling
Oh, sweet reflection
Will you save a place for me?

Where am I heading?
Could you grant me a haven?
For what I am punished?
Could I ever repent?

(Oh)
Mother Nature, I'm wide open
Waiting for you to move me
Don't keep it from me
This is a free fall
This is a free fall

Ah!
I never seem to understand
The time, the place and who I am
Define a way to stay alive
It's like I'm living a lie

Father Time, every time I stop and feel
You're there to tell me I'm already late
Don't keep it from me
This is a free fall

I never seem to understand
The time, the place and who I am
It's like I'm living a lie

[Solo]

Ah!
I never seem to understand
The time, the place and who I am
Define a way to stay alive
It's like I'm living a lie

I never seem to understand
The time, the place and who I am
Define a way to stay alive
It's like I'm living a lie

12. Dark Signs

Held down, strangled and abused
Cut down to half a member
Left with his hand tied
Everything points in the wrong direction, yeah-yeah…

All the joy disappeared
The negative has penetrated
Once he was in control
What's left, the faintest laughter

We're out of focus, we've lost control (Are you afraid?)
I blame our ego and you call me names (Do you want to be saved?)

You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You got to reach further
For what life shall provide

Feeling pressure from the fold
He believes the dream is over
Drained blue eye, scorching fire
The whole meaning becomes undone

We're out of focus, we've lost control (Are you afraid?)
I blame our ego and you call me names (Do you want to be saved?)

You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You got to reach further
For what life shall provide

[Solo]

We're out of focus, we've lost control (Are you afraid?)
I blame our ego and you call me names (Do you want to be saved?)

You're told that you are trapped below
And dark signs helped to prove
You got to reach further
For what life shall provide

13. Metaphor

You stole my pure intentions
You are the sickness in between
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You taught me to be sad as you
You almost made me take it all
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You bend me and you shake me
You beg me, then you break me
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

You made me feel like a sinner
You fear you'll die alone
Let me in, I'll bury the pain

The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me,
How I've come this far
How I've come this far

I feel it's taking over
Everything falls dark
Break me open
The desperate cry

The sickness that you are
A plague that made me starve
Do you think you can show me,
How I've come this far
How I've come this far

14. Black & White

I am one with the world tonight
I am proud to be this far from you

You say, that you have no regrets
But I know, that you do
You told me someone stole the eye
I know him too

I've come to the conclusion – yes, I know
That between black and white, there is no room for two
The scale might be wide, but there's no need to be blind
'Cause black and white, there is no room for two

Yeah!

I leave all of the grey behind
I see clear, I know that I'll find

You claim that you are innocent
But tell me who ain't?
You think that you're gonna be saved
There's no such thing as a saint

I've come to the conclusion – yes, I know
That between black and white, there is no room for two
The scale might be wide, but there's no need to be blind
'Cause black and white, there is no room for two

Ih-ouh!

Oh, black and white
There's nothing in between
Black and white
Nothing's what it seems

[Solo]

I've come to the conclusion – yes, I know
That between black and white, there is no room for two
The scale makes it wide, but there's no need to be blind
'Cause black and white, there is no room for two
