I want to believe in love
& never let it end

I sacrifice my vanity
I accept my shadow 
upon the ashes of lies 
I cast you out sleepwalker

I release from this karmic cycle
I complete this lesson

I remember 
re-member
awaken
(one, none, god)

set me back to womb
born again

I remember 
re-member
I open to my power
(I am that I am)

I sacrifice my vanity
I accept my shadow
I open to my power
I open to my true will

I remember
re-member
awaken
I am that I am 

New moon in Scorpio ritual release.
Leave behind what no longer serves and re-member, remember, awaken to truth.

A love song to the Divine Masculine, signed, the Divine Feminine

Lyrics
false phallus fallacy
looking for an idol (false)
looking for an idol in our image (false)

pillars perceived perfect at a glance collapse
shame fears the monster fears shame
idol image worship adoration war
limitations void in the unisex nexus

I eat boundaries

looking for an idol (false)

embody opposites in trance
in form align divine
balanced in Source

I eat boundaries
looking for an idol (false)

embody opposites entrance
inform align divine
balanced in Source

looking for an idol (false)

vessels visage vacant at a glance contracts
shame feeds the monster feeds shame
viral image nation veneration lore
invocations void in the unisex nexus

I eat boundaries

Idolatry

Daughter

“Impetus” is about using fear as motivation for personal development.

While creating this track, we all pushed our creative boundaries to write a song that reflects our desire to grow as artists and people.

This song encourages the listener to reflect inward and ask:

What am I passionate about? What am I striving for? What do I want to accomplish? How badly do I want to reach my goals and accomplish my dreams? What will I endure? What is worth suffering for?

We hope to inspire ourselves and others to stop hiding. Stop waiting. Take one small step toward your goals, then another, and another. The time is NOW. Stop hiding your gifts. The world needs your passion.

Produced and mixed by Timo Kissel
Mastered by Adam Stilson at Decade Music Studios

Lyrics:
I'm not hiding (11x)
I'm waiting
I'm waiting for something (3x)
I'm waiting
I'm waiting for something (3x)
I'm waiting (2x)
I'm waiting for something that scares me enough (3x)
I'm waiting (2x)
I'm waiting for something that scares me enough (3x)
I'm waiting (2x)

A violent motion wakes the primal sound
Falling bodies to shake the ground
Real life doom day
Encircle the circle
Accelerate

I'm not hiding, I'm not hiding (3x)
I'm waiting, I'm waiting for something (4x)
I'm not hiding, I'm not hiding (2x)
I'm not hiding, I'm not hiding
I'm waiting

Impetus - vyger remix

Ein Sturm zieht auf

Say goodnight
Every daylights only finite
Your soothing suns
Now falling stars
Fading lights

Valentine
I get lost in your open mind
You fantasize
Feast your eyes
Pantomime

Playtime is over rated
I thought we’d never say it
Sticks and stones
Will leave you cold
words unspoken
Leave you frozen

Playtime is over baby
I thought we’d that always make it
Game over-dose
Now that’s all folks
words unspoken
Leave you broken

Satellite
Drifting by, way up In the sky
Forbidden zones 
Cursed to roam
You’ve flown too high

Sacrifice
Now you’re standing on broken ice
You play the game
Build your frame
Roll the dice


Playtime is over rated
I thought we’d never say it
Sticks and stones
Will leave you cold
words unspoken
Leave you frozen

Playtime is over baby
I thought we’d that always make it
Game over-dose
Now that’s all folks
words unspoken
Left you broken

Play time
Play time

Playtime

Autonomy
