So, I have been writing quite a bit of material over the past 1-1/2 years for this project mostly trying to get the music in order. I have now been writing and singing to these songs.

Fool Again?!…

[Verse]
Pursuing empty promises
Only to find empty hands
No one to blame here
Cause I was the fool again

[Pre-Chorus]
Trusting words like honey
Thinking they meant more
Just to find in the end
Heart's left feeling sore

[Chorus]
I'm the fool again
Falling for the same old game
Heart's left with the pain
Got no one else to blame
I'm the fool again

[Verse 2]
Eyes are wide open now
No more shadows in the dark
Lessons learned the hard way
I'm rebuilding every part

[Pre-Chorus]
Trusting words like honey
Thinking they’d bring light
But they melted in the fire
Left me stranded in the night

[Chorus]
I'm the fool again
Falling for the same old game
Heart's left with the pain
Got no one else to blame
I'm the fool again

KTT • Fool Again (w/ Duston’s vox)

**\[Verse]**
They say they saw you walking on the water
I can’t say I believe them
but I know what you’re capable of
I’ve seen you step through storms
without letting the wind touch your skin
And still, I can feel you drifting away
your eyes fixed on some horizon I can’t follow

**\[Chorus]**
Leave the visions where they live
Let them breathe in the dark corners of my mind
Don’t scatter them into the cold air
Don’t pull down the stars I’ve been carrying
even if you no longer stand beside me

**\[Verse 2]**
I know what it costs to hold on to nothing
and I’m holding anyway
because I can’t stand the silence
that rushes in when the dream collapses
You could walk away right now
and the ocean wouldn’t notice
but I would feel it for the rest of my life

**\[Chorus]**
Leave the visions where they live
Let them breathe in the dark corners of my mind
Don’t scatter them into the cold air
Don’t pull down the stars I’ve been carrying
even if you no longer stand beside me

KTT • Inception (w/ Duston’s vox)

[Verse]
Lead me on a little more
I may look it but I’m not sore
I need pain to explore
Align my feelings for the ultimate score

[Verse 2]
Leave me with nothing again
Through every loss I will gain
Why can't I just be normal then
But your whisper drives me insane

[Chorus]
Drifting off into outer space
Hoping to find my own place
Fighting the stars till the end of my days
In this cosmic endless death race

[Verse 3]
Twisted paths that never end
Can’t keep my heart from bend
Wounds they open they never mend
I’ll take the hit I won’t pretend

[Bridge]
A thousand lights but none for me
Black holes pull at destiny
I scream but no one hears my plea
I’m just a shadow lost at sea

[Chorus]
Drifting off into outer space
Hoping to find my own place
Fighting the stars till the end of my days
In this cosmic endless death race

KTT • Drift (w/ Duston’s Vox)

[Verse]
You try and try but let me fall
Wanted you more than it all
Every turn we see the chaos
Learning from this feels so lost

[Chorus]
Days with you so amazing
Nights when you go crazy
Time and time I can't pretend
See now I can never win

[Verse 2]
Walking down the streets of sin
Guess this is how it begins
In the dark the shadows creep
In their arms I feel so weak

[Chorus]
Days with you so amazing
Nights when you go crazy
Time and time I can't pretend
See now I can never win

[Bridge]
Under city lights we wander
Feeling like it pulls us under
Heart so full but eyes deceive
Lost in love we can't retrieve

[Chorus]
Days with you so amazing
Nights when you go crazy
Time and time I can't pretend
See now I can never win

*Artificial Simulated Reality


[Verse]
You wonder why I left
Always play the blame game
Threaten me with shame
Call me the most fucked up names

[Verse 2]
Changing all the rules
In this fucked up worlds game
Kept things exciting for sure
But you got out of control like a wild flame

[Chorus]
Was it your intention
To be so fuckin’ full of hate?
Now my heart is scorned
You’ve ruined all you tried to simulate

[Bridge]
Forcing control over me
Thought I was just being passive by shutting the fuck up
Things changed for the worst day after day
And all of your manipulative ways

[Verse 3]
We were a burning fire
Now we're only smoke
Lost in tears of sorrow
Words we never fuckin’ spoke

[Chorus]
Was it your intention
To be so fuckin’ full of hate
Now my heart is scorned
In this artificial reality you’ve tried to simulate
