When the ice seems thick enough
when it seems the dust has settled.
When we face the open door
when we throw away the key.
When the street is lit with stars
when a smile melts our walls.
Welcome to what we deem the illusion machine.
Inside a lovely dream, shrouds a safety net between
a leap of faith and risk, comfort in the eyes of those of confidence.
When a fingerprint gives birth
when a word defines decision.
When zero becomes one
when encryption changes sequence.
When expired dates served best
when life is packed cellophane.
Welcome to what we deem the illusion machine.
Inside a lovely dream, shrouds a safety net between
a leap of faith and risk, comfort in the eyes of those of confidence.
Gather the strength to swim where the deep end feels like
waiting for a sign to rest assure I can follow the unknown,
they say it's fine.
Welcome to what we deem the illusion machine.
Inside a lovely dream, shrouds a safety net between
a leap of faith and risk, comfort in the eyes of those of confidence.
When we're given the all clear
when there's nothing left to...

Wake Up

You don't get to quit the game
or decide the right time.
You don't get to have a say
when you think you've reached the limit.
Time will tick and time will talk,
screaming in your ear to go.
But truth is not enough to dream
the lies within reality.
Wake up and stay.
Just because you've given up
doesn't mean you're all alone.
You might have demons in your mind
but there is love outside the line.
Wake up and stay.
Hope and desire is beating,
carry the will to keep fighting.
Struggle against what seems endless
cause every breath deserves repeating.
Wake up into your life.
Wake up and stay.

Stella Polaris

|
Nostalgia in the night sky,
another sunset.
So much wasted on these crumpled photographs.
Ticket stubs and mileage,
just one more curtain close.
The day is soaked in limelight but the show must go on for someone.
Missed out on my tomorrow. Stella Polaris.
I went so far but not enough. Stella Polaris.
Had every good intention,
assumed for a new day.
Piled high on my list, but later never came for someone.
Missed out on my tomorrow. Stella Polaris.
I went so far but not enough. Stella Polaris.
A burning sky is high demand,
time is cut short through a silhouette's hand.
Light years to conquer what we've lost,
the shorter the days the greater the cost.
Desire is disappearing
all for the sake of a short lived fame.
External validation
tries to erase any trace of a name.
Missed out on my tomorrow. Stella Polaris.
I went so far but not enough. Stella Polaris.
