Evolve
Verse 1
I bite my tongue as I shed my skin,
Down on my knees I shut my eyes
I taste the dirt as I spread my wings
Afraid to face the skies
I wear my scars across my chest
But in my heart is dust
My lips fall silent in defence
As I resist the rust
Verse 2
I take one step and fear the fall
But through the pain, evolve
I miss the days allowed to crawl
Back home and just dissolve
My sharpened claws and tale show
The past that I’ve exposed
As I take flight with brittle bones
My fragile mind in tow
Chorus
In the ashes of my ego
Lies the chance to rebuild a shadow
In the shape of all that could be
With the face of the wounded and lonely

Among The Machines

Section 1
Wide awake yet half asleep
I dream beyond my nightmare
This world has no place for me,
no space to build a home here
All alone, yet side by we’re
left to play the victim
Shaped by those beyond our reach,
we’re buried in their system
Section 2
I don’t recognise the world I see
I’m not satisfied among machines
You can’t synthesize humanity
I won’t fall in line with this disease
I don’t recognise a place once home
I won’t compromise among the clones
You can’t monetize what’s in my bones
I am my own man, not yours to own
Section 3
We’re not just toys to be played with,
Numbers on a page, or goods for exchanges.
Buried in the sand with smiles on our faces,
Grateful for machines that in time will replace us

Dead Or Alive

Verse 1
I’d sell my soul for a second chance at living for a brighter day
A brand new goal, an adventure, an example of a better way
I’d change my name and leave behind all of the damages and wreckage burned
Among the flames, I might find an answer, living for a lesson learned
Chorus
I’m alone now free to grieve
Dead or alive, free to bleed
I’m alone now, free to see
Dead or alive, what’s left of me
Verse 2
I’d give my all for a chance to rebuild one of many walls knocked down
It’s too late now for me to learn to swim in waters, left to drown
I lost my home and lost my way, I lost my faith and everything I knew
From a throne to decay I’m buried deep enough to know I’m through

Our Truth (In Denial, But Getting By)
Verse 1
We lie to ourselves ‘coz it’s easier
We run from the truth and hide behind punchlines
We’re safe in the dark in our own minds
We lie to ourselves ‘coz it’s easier
We bury the past and live by our own time
We’re safe in a crowd of our own kind
Pre Chorus
This won't the death of me
I refuse to take responsibility
Weakened by insecurity
You failed to make your mentality part of reality (1st time)
You failed to make your mentality part of your reality (2nd time)
Chorus
Our truth, our lies
As one disguise
In denial, but getting by
Verse 2
We lie to our selves ‘coz it’s easier
We count down the days and live for the weekend
The shields that we build are our best friends
Chorus
Our truth, our lies
As one disguise
In denial, but getting by
