1.
Figment 05:31
Figment A figment of the mind Beyond reality leaves us paralyzed And becomes just an anonymous thought Words seems like a lifetime Just a thought Just an image of the mind What feels like a lifetime Stares you right into the eyes It draws us even when it hurts A distant sound of thunder Becomes a beam of light Illuminates an anonymous thought Collect the words of a lifetime Just a thought Just an image of the mind Until we cannot bear the sight A lifetime
 just an image of the mind
2.
A Night in Reverse I saw you dancing On an empty street Still going strong on a week without sleep Somehow it seemed Neither right nor wrong A fixated image That echoes on and on I saw you dancing On an empty street Still going strong on a week without sleep An interval in our continuity In an attempt to dream Most vividly You’re like me Embracing the end Barely holding on Seems like we’re thrown aboard Adrift in the afterthought Barely holding on Relive the night in reverse
3.
Stranger Times Lingers in the absence In the trial of days Confront the resonance The days in haze Recall it all When days seem the same Sudden responsibility Ornaments of time Peeling the paint For what’s embedded in skin Will come to an end The sounds of the night Fade to ambience True colours Of the now and here Concepts of time That seems bewildering In fear of dementia Despair To see new faces everywhere Clear as the memorabilia In stranger times now we’re here A hands reach from future nostalgia
4.
New Sun 03:54
New Sun I wonder if we’re ascending
 Or if we’re falling through air
 A figure in the 
periphery
 Of where our vision end

 I wonder if we’re ascending
 Or if we’re falling through air
 I'm overwhelmed by
 the imagery
 A lingering insomnia 

A new dawn will be gone 
In our absence 
A new sun will set
 Without us A void in our vision Where everything
 Disappear There's a hole 
In our imagination 
A lingering 
insomnia
5.
Intrinsic Light 

I know we shine with intrinsic light
 That spark of doubt inside you 
Some minds burn twice as bright And the heat distorts our view 
 Curled on the floor I see you
 In flickering lights
 Through the blinds
 Deep in our sleep I'll meet you
 But you pass me by In flickering lights Coming down from a solar high
 Searching the ashes for you
 If you burn bright until the end of time
 You are one of the few And I know 
It’s dark on my own
6.
In Your Honor At first our portrait seemed so timeless Now I can see the days go by It's in your honor If we leave tonight It's in your honor If my memory serves me right Nothing is meant to be frozen in time Monochrome pictures Polaroid nights Recalling voices Not what they said Speaking indifferently About life and death Trying my best to catch the sound The echoes that are all around A dance of passion Like birds with severed heads The walls vibrate with negative noise Now the absence lingers on It’s in your honor All the memories It’s in your honor Nostalgia is a cruel disease I care the most when I tell you goodbye When we can both live separate lives
7.
Lifelines 04:11
Lifelines All that seemed So distant in front of me Appears too soon A constantly open wound All things pass Then fade for no reason When to cross the line For one moment to hide All that was I need every part of it A useless desire Succumb to the grim fortune One lifeline defined our youth I hold on to me and you
8.
Momentary 05:32
Momentary Eyes froze a minute Awoken by noise To constant rhythms Of former lives Heartbeats that keep us Awake at night Eternal compromise Our hands are tied Touched by shadows From an inner eye Exposed in expanding light Faces of evil Appear crystalline Even if I survive Our fates are intertwined Your fate and mine Will always be Intertwined by mystery Of all there was And will ever be Just momentary As ecstasy (We’ll meet in dreams Speaking finally So void of irony)
