Patrick Talbot - A ReasonTo Leave

Still Searching Inside

Turn off all the lights
Roll back my eyes
And I search for light
Searching deep inside

Feel it coming on
Feel it pulling strong
And I search for light
Searching deep inside

She looks so sadly
But I love her madly
While the demons crowd me
Still searching inside

But the darkness whispers
And calls on sinners
And holds me tightly
Still searching inside

All is right
All is light

Maybe I don't belong
Maybe I'm wrong

Turn on all the lights
Open up my eyes
And I search for light
Searching outside
Feel it coming on
Feel it pulling strong
And I search for light
Searching outside

She looks so sadly
But I love her madly
While the demons crowd me
Still searching inside

But the darkness whispers
And calls the sinners
And holds me tightly
Still searching inside

All is right
All is light

We are desire
We are the fire
We are the light
We are tonight

We are desire
We are the fire
We are the light
We are tonight

Collaboration - Still Searching Inside (Music: Dimitris Polizos, Vocals: Kai Kross)

You sad excuse
You do just what you do

You get inside
Drama king, it's what the fuck you do

Alone
You try
You're dying inside

You know
No one will ever trust you to save your life

______________________

We know your everything
Your secrets come unglued
And now it's our turn
To turn it all on you

We know you're nothing
But we're not done with you
We bleed you out
As our lies become the truth

_____________________

You sick excuse
You smile and close your eyes

Disguise
You try fool the whole world with your lies

Deceitful fool
We know just what you do

And now you're fucked
And there's no one here for you

We know your everything

As our lies become the truth

Becoming Kaos

All this change in undo time
It splinters from the brain up

All these fears we've locked inside
We cover them with make up

Kaos prisms inside us all
Kaos vision blind we follow

Our world falls to kaos
Our banks fall to kaos
Our sons fall to kaos
We all fall to kaos

Prison cells they hold inside
The rebels and the saviors

Tearing holes into the sky
The kaos comes to save us

Kaos crimson on horizon line
Kaos prison death becoming life

Our world falls to kaos
Our souls fall to kaos
Our words fall to kaos
All love falls to kaos

Our world falls to kaos
Our banks fall to kaos
Our sons fall to kaos
We all fall to kaos

Floating Nowhere - Becoming Kaos

Lyrics by Kai Kross

Sin

Fuck
Forget her
Ask
You let her
Beat
This little bitch

Are
You ready?
Are
You ready?
Drugged and raped and whipped

Don't really wanna hurt no one
Don't really wanna show you pain

You're helpless now, frustrated
Now close your eyes, start praying

Watch the light fade from your eyes
It keeps me high
Cold as sin, yet still alive
It keeps me high
So afraid to leave this life
It keeps me high
Keeps me high

Fuck
So tender
Touch
A little
Break
This little bitch

Are
You ready?
Are
You ready?
Stapled, sown and stitched

Didn't really wanna hurt no one
Didn't really wanna show you pain

So open now, lights fading
Just close your eyes, start praying

Watch the light fade from your eyes
It keeps me high
Cold as sin, yet still alive
It keeps me high
So afraid to leave this life
It keeps me high
Keeps me high

All I wanted you to see
Something's missing

Strange as all of my beliefs
Now you're listening

Cannot cure me of disease
My own prison

Wash the sin right off of me
Savior set me free

Floating Nowhere - Sin

Words by Kai Kross

Nothings Changed

Strange it seems the same
Deja vu again
I camouflage my pain

Oh, I'm closer now
Oh, I'm inside out 

You can't take away my pain
Nothing's changed
So, there's nothing here for me
Far from home

Strange it doesn't change
I'm here with you again
I camouflage my rage

Oh, I'm closer now
Oh, I'm upside down

You can't take away my pain
Nothing's changed
So, there's nothing here for me
Far from home

You can't take away my pain
Nothing's changed
So, there's nothing here for me
Far from home

Floating Nowhere - Nothings Changed

Floating Nowhere - I'll Remember

Monster

My conviction
Disguised and cruel
And my skin is bulletproof

My obsession
Is seeping through
My eyes well hide the truth

Floating Nowhere - Monster (Bonus Track)

Band: Batavia
Album: Graveyard
Year: 2020

Lyrics
Eye for eye
Wrath for wrath
A crippled show of force
Puppet show of flesh
Claw for claw
Armed to the toothless gaping maw
Sardonic egomania

Welding righteous flame
Claiming fruitless ash
Wound for wound
Iconoclast en masse

Scab Mask

Love for love's
Browbeating ideologues
Warlord slave masters
Child exploiters
Eye for eye
Blind begets blind
Nesting pillaged earth
Your bastard father's birthright

Welding righteous flame
Claiming fruitless ash
Wound for wound
Iconoclast en masse

Graveyard

Scab Mask

Artist: Batavia
Album: Quite Mean Spirited
Year: 2020
Lyrics
Dressed up in ego and
Pressed up to black or to blue
Craving a nation that's
Caving to notions of
Only you

Death tolls are rising
But anger is driving you on
With nothing in common
Humanity's all but
Long long gone

Fellow like-minded but
Only one-sided
When all of them are gone
They will take you
All that you wanted to be
What you wanted to see

When it falls
It will take you down
