Deceived
01:29
|

Subtle clues from the past now keep me in check
And deliberate charm don’t got me impressed
Silence the screaming in my mind
Far winds of promise, were they a sign?
The closer it comes, my mind starts to decay
But no one can rob my dreams of the riding rhythm of things
Silence the screaming in my mind
Far winds of promise, they were
Smarter now after a new lesson learned
A new chapter starts, a new page is turned
Trust in myself and that’s all I need
It’s the power to stand for what I believe

Strive
01:09
|

Moments arise when I start to doubt
And I’m crippled by the pain I once projected onto the world
Clouded by the thought, disdain kept me in control
But a once empty frame, now knowledge flows
With the passing of time
We gain a little insight
With compassion in mind
We can strive
Uncovering the hidden truths that I seek
I’ve got a tight grip on what once was out of my reach
I opened my eyes, cracked the walls of which my judgement
Once hid behind

Result of Choice
01:16
|

War weapons on the streets, desensitized to what we see
Another day another story, elusive goals deemed hard to reach
Complicity comes by so easy, it scares me
False security, impending clarity
It scares me, the elusive goals that they see
But I know they’re not out of my reach
I reach out for truth, reach out to youth
Reach out to my elders, and I reach out to you
Words never last but your choices withstand
Broaden your horizons, and help to understand
I devise a plan to persist towards the goal of pivotal expression
Result of choice

Brunt of Time
01:34
|
|||
Running in circles and time is almost out
Letting go of living in the now
A bleak outlook has captivated me
When all along I couldn’t see
Clock’s got a tight grip around my neck
And peace of mind is getting harder to find
Must do well, you gotta succeed
Have to meet the expectations the world is setting for me
It takes its toll
That’s what they all tell me
Keeping your head above water
Trying to stay on your feet
The clock’s got a tight grip around my neck
Peace of mind I still struggle to find
Growing old, I guess that’s just how life goes
Until then I’ll dream of watching the world explode
So watch it explode

Digital Age
01:12
|
|||
There’s power of talk in a digital age
Hollow messages are clouding my brain
Lost taste for the insight mere connection offers
While capacity for empathy and relationships suffer
Took flight from conversation
The dialogue needed for self-reflection
Shied away from being yourself, and not just something
Have you shied away from being yourself, and not just something?

Place of My Dreams
02:07
|

Ask me and I’ll call it the place of my dreams
A safe haven for those who see what I see
To share, express, to ask, to assess
Unimpeded, nonaligned by an impassive of trend
They’re hard to see, but not out of reach
Ask me and I’ll call it the place of my dreams
The outer spaces discovered by those who seek
To dream, to risk, extend to achieve
Analyzing the barriers they view in intrigue
They’re hard to see, but not out of reach
