While The Heart Becomes

How long I must be alone, fighting for what I think is right?
My convictions led me to this lonely place, led me to my grave.
How long I must defend what I believe?
I left everything I had to be born again, now I am sinking in this endless sea of nothingness.
I chose to separate my heart from my weakness, to fight for what is right.
I must stand, nothingness is waiting for me to fall.
All my life I have waited for this moment where hold the truth means to walk alone.

Now I am sinking in this sea, leaded to my grave, waves of oppression pushed me to the depths.

Now I´m sinking in this sea where silence pushed me to my grave.
Now I´m falling away with all my convictions in this never ending circle.

How long I must be alone, fighting for what is right?
How long I must be alone, fighting for what I think is right?
My convictions led me to this lonely place, led me to my grave.
How long I must defend what I believe now I´m sinking in this sea.

Now I´m sinking in this sea where silence pushed me to my grave.
Now I´m falling away with all my convictions in this never ending circle.

I chose to separate my heart from my weakness, to fight for what is right.
I must stand, nothingness is waiting for me to fall.

We have been pushed away from an apparent freedom,
where a different life became a certain death.

I must stand.

Now I´m sinking in this sea where silence pushed me to my grave.
Now I´m falling away with all my convictions in this never ending circle.

The Sinking

In Silence Waits

We are always outstanding for what we don't have, we are always looking for what we left behind.
We tried to forget but without forgiveness, there´s no way for us to reach the freedom.  

We have wasted all our lives pretending to forget what we really are.
If life and time passes by why our hearts still there?

Are we really alive, looking back for what we don´t have?
Are we really alive? In this life there´s no way back.

We have wasted all our lives pretending to forget what we really are.
We are always outstanding for what we don't have, we are always looking for what we left behind.

If life and time passes by why our hearts still there?

Are we alive?

Are we really alive, looking back for what we don´t have?
Are we really alive? In this life there´s no way back.

Are We Alive?

All the roads that we took brought us here, to this moment of hope.
We can never turn back, this is where we belong.

We are the choices we made, we have been fighting all our lives to be in this place.
Struggles, mistakes, changes, brought us here.
We can never turn back, nevermore.

How we can go back where we never wanted to be?

All the roads that we took brought us here, to this moment of hope, we can never turn back, this is where we belong.

This is what we´ve become chasing for so long the way where we belong.  

We can never turn back, nevermore.
We are the choices we made, we have been fighting all our lives to be in this place.

This is what we´ve become chasing for so long the way where we belong.

Lagwagon - The Cog In The Machine

This injustice renders my thoughts ineffectual. Forgive me, Lover, and forget my sullen face. Privilege brings us to this place of human currencies. (We) buried our sisters in a glass display, only to evaporate to a toxic skyline - underneath we sell off the bodies.

My body became a graveyard where they buried thirsty souls. Show me your righteous leader; I'll show you the bullet holes. The preacher[i] with the parched tongue and the "God" that he controls: "Shake off the sin! Shake off the sin!" And spit out your cacophony of lies.

I'll climb through your screen and bleed out the image you left in me.[ii]

But God, are you man? Then how do you see me? From where you sit up in heaven[iii],  looking down on my hell. My body chokes back.
"I have nothing to draw with and the well is deep - where can I get living water?"[iv]

Enslaved in the "Land of the Free"[v]  - my prison is our wedding bed where you left me for dead. You'll leave us for dead. Apathy was our anchor to a digital sea[vi] where you drown in the comfort of our complicity.

Can Love save me? Will Your wrath avenge us?[vii]

Silent Planet – XX (City Grave)

What have brought me here?
Indecision or simply apathy.
I can blame myself while I´m still drowning.
Or I can fight to keep my breath.

Will I be there to see your smile again?

I will give it all to see your smile again.
I will give it all to hear your voice.
Cause I never want to feel like this nevermore.
I will give it all to see your smile again.

What have brought me here?
Indecision or simply apathy.
I can blame myself while I´m still drowning.

Will I ever see the surface again and feel the sun warming my heart?
Cause I lost everything, along my life.
Will I ever hear the sound of your voice again?
Cause I know that this is my only hope.

I will give it all to see your smile again.
I will give it all to hear your voice.
Cause I never want to feel like this nevermore.
I will give it all to see your smile again.

Nevermore

Cretin - It

I'm drowning here, between the words I said and the promises that I never fulfilled.

I can feel how the waters are dragging me and how it runs through my lungs.
I can barely breathe, the waters have reached my neck.
I am drowning with all my promises.
I´m broken, I´m breathless, please bring air to my lungs and take my...

Take my hand now, this water is between my lungs, tearing away my breath.

I can still see a light in the surface, but it seems so far away.

Take my hand now, this water is between my lungs, tearing away my breath.

In this water grave I'll be waiting for your voice.

Take my hand now, this water is between my lungs, tearing away my breath.

Drowning

I write this letter in this day in this my darkest hour.
I have sailed the oceans, in search for the dreams that I have lost.
Trying to gather all the tears that I have shed in this sea.
I´m desperate, I´m hopeless, the waves crushed my ship and dragged me here. 
Like a castaway I can't find the way to come back home.
I write this letter trying to find hope, there is nothing left here, only me and the ocean.
My ship is on ruins as well as my life.
In this dark night, I´m just waiting for the sunrise, 
Waiting for something to keep my heart awake but it seems so hard.
If someone could read this, please fix this ruins.

Castaway

We Came As Romans - Glad You Came (Punk Goes Pop 5)

What is life without a new chance to begin? 
I have left behind my failures but my mistakes have followed me. 
In this endless road the consequences made me stronger. 
I tried for myself but I always failed, I have failed, but your hands never left me.

I know after the storm, comes the sun, shining for us.

We will see again the sun, shining in our eyes, giving us a new chance to begin.

I was lost in darkness but I saw your eyes, brighter than the sun, breaking all my life. 
I was lost but now I´m found, what is life without a new chance to begin?

I know after the storm, comes the sun, shining for us.

We will see again the sun, shining in our eyes, giving us a new chance to begin.

I tried to change by myself but I always failed.
You never let me fall despite my mistakes.

You never left me fall, You´ll be always there, You never left me fall, You´ll be always there for us.

We will see again the sun, shining in our eyes, giving us a new chance to begin.

What is life without a new chance?
