Never Surrender
05:33

The monsters crashing in
The lights are getting dim
Who's your martyr now?
I tried to make amends
Instead my will depends
I miss you my old pal
And of all the people here
Turn away until answers appear
And you know where I am
I begin to understand
That the problems are in my hands
And they won't go away
NEVER SURRENDER ALWAYS SURVIVE
I can see the pixels
The crystal in your eyes
Awoken to the world old routines try to hide
Begging for a meaning
And longing for a cause
Don't wish ones time away
Wait
Step back
Pause
See the different colours
And wash away the fear
Those crystal eyes are hungry
And things aren't as they appear
The loudest seem misguided
The silent care too much
And some have lost the meaning
They are simply out of touch
People they are people
And your gods they are weak
For allowing you to think that you've reached natures peak
Why should we define us on successes only gained
By feeding off the weaker prole and shifting all the blame
It isn't too late, so let this lesson be learned
Never again should a blind eye be turned
And level your demons, whilst you still are alive
And never surrender
And always survive
It's taken an age, to heed all the scars
The illusion was weak not confined to the past
All things we once did achieve, will fade away
I will not forget, you won't suck me in
Your lies they are weak and beginning to thin
The castle is crumbling down and I can't get out

Fractured
02:51

Not one to rehash, forgotten ideas
Just take comfort in familiarity
Or so it appears
Been given some extra time
But I just want to sleep
A reason I still cannot find
Have I fallen to deep?
If only you knew
The cracked trail of thoughts that I see in you
Beware what you see
I don't know how much is still left in me
The fresh air outside
Is enough to breathe in
Starts to remind
That our conscious is thin
And what will become of this
A few years down the line
A broken ancestory
That once used to shine
If only you knew
The cracked trail of thoughts that I see in you
Beware what you see
I don't know how much is still left in me
Its time to decide
To force things to change or just flutter by
Now that we're through
I'd whisk you away down to Enys View
Christmas means different things now
When you realise what's true
Those fractures may never heal
But at least I have you

Sorry, Love

I feel like I'm loosing my way
I was not prepared for today
Things are in motion and I don't know how to survive
Held on for as long as I could
Longer than I ever should
Surely a blessing but it may be in a disguise
Do not worry about the next day
Go find a place alone you can lay
Hold it together because things will now on will get tough
I may fall down
But you know you'll still have my love
I found it hard to settle in
It wasn't me at all to begin
Fear kept me from changing
And now I see it was a waste
Look round and see what you've made
A wonderful and loving parade
That welcomes us in from the chaos that haunts me outside
Should I have run to gain better scope
Even if it was to leave me broke
If only I could see clear
But solutions don't always appear
We will move on because you are the one I hold dear

Ascension
03:04

Burnt your tongue
And spoilt the view
And no one cares to fight for you
Taken away
Memories end
but thoughts will always be with you
Drift away
And numb till the end
Look back
And let her ascend
Up high
At peace
