Odyssey 06:22
As we stray away from our predestination, Our minds are torn By an infatuation To fulfill these plights. To the center of self we set sail [x2] Embarking on a journey to the center of self We set sail In search of a better understanding of our true nature of existence Beings of light disguised by A mask of skin and bone Making our way through The trials of time We are not alone

Litmus Test 04:08
All that has come to pass, All the events that have shaped my path Have led me to this moment. Decisive instant determining energy I have spent. What have I done to improve this life? To grow as a person? Have I already failed, To become the man I was meant to be? Will I hold on tightly, or let it slip through the gaps between my fingers? Based on the strength of my grip The possibility of failure lingers If I should fall or I trip Will I hold on tightly, or let it slip through the gaps between my fingers? based on the strength of my grip All that has come to pass, All the events that have shaped my path Have led me to this moment. Decisive instant determining energy I have spent. What have I done to improve this life? To grow as a person? Have I already failed To become the man I was meant to be and escape the cage of this mentality

Thralldom 04:49
We are truly blind when we fail to see the monster We have created. What was built to serve us now imprisons millions. Day by day, false justice served. Harmless people caged for the monetary gain of the state. They become the thing we hate. Gentle people locked away, slowly gaining the traits that would make them deserve this place . This life is mine, and I'll not be defined by suffering. I don't belong to you, or this, or anything. You can't take my life away. The longer we live in fear and denial, The further we stray from true freedom. Liberty slowly slipping from our grip. Forcible detention Will never be a solution To the problems that we face as a growing world. Point the finger at human nature, So we can ignore the social factors of society that made man this way. This life is mine, and I'll not be defined by suffering. I don't belong to you, or this, or anything. You can't take my life away. This life is mine. I'll not be defined by my suffering.

Deliverance 04:28
I release you, Boundless weight I have bared for many years. I'll not be weighed down for another moment. This life is mine and I'll not be defined by suffering, So I take this slumber. Touched by the most profound awareness. A wave of guiding light warms my cold heart for a moment. And I am left with a blurred memory of clarity. The answers are here But so is my pain. Understanding was never enough. Seek alignment Brave the elements Push forth Push forth toward the setting sun to define yourself, chase down the horizon.

Awakened by the wind To see a beam of light The first to grace the earth Illuminates the night I cannot believe that after everything I've seen and done trying to stand my ground, it's time now to leave. [x2] this place for good. I rise to my feet and begin my descent Across a treacherous plain, To create a change in me of which I never can return Deprivation taking hold of every fiber in me, Am I becoming the wolf or is the wolf becoming me? Will I carve a path to the sea? Awakened by the wind To see a beam of light The first to grace the earth Illuminates the night I cannot believe that after everything I've seen and done trying to stand my ground, it's time now to leave. [x2] this place for good. Aided now by years remembered, The past unaltered now returns to me. And in this moment I am bound by the moon. It calls my name. And I push forth [x2] Awakened by the wind To see a beam of light The first to grace the earth Illuminates the night I cannot believe that after everything I've seen and done trying to stand my ground, it's time now to leave.[x2] this place for good. I rise to my feet and begin my descent Across a treacherous plain, To create a change in me from which I cannot return. Deprivation taking hold of every fiber. Am I becoming the wolf, or is the wolf becoming me? Will I carve a path to the sea?
