"The Rise"

The lines are getting shorter
Like this life is passing by
So fast as the truth once blinked

What you wanted was far beyond at the door
But you would never know
It would be so cruel and a perfect lie

Shame is only seen in a denial
Why do you wait for something to get better
When nothing seems to get better?

Afraid to lose what almost got
But forgotten was and with a heart in pieces
Never mind about the past
It is the right time to rise
Like you have never risen before

"Broken Words"

Your broken words
They still breathe in my soul
You said I would never get anywhere
You said I would never reach there
You said everything would be unfair

All your words could not say
If you were able to write a love song
Because you have not found it yet
It is only because you were not able to feel it

Your broken words were wrong
Too late to you, Mr. Know-it-all
You could have had it all
You could have longed for more
You could have thanked once more

All your words wander in your lost thoughts
You are not able to feel a love song
Because you have never felt it
Maybe life is being unfair
Or maybe you are just damned
That you cannot feel loved

"Amends"

The city is drenched in red
Was it a warning or a thread?
Are we capable to survive to it?
Or are we going to regret the rest of our lives?

It seems our wisdom was not enough
To foresee every damage that has just come

We wonder if it is just a dream
We wonder if it really is happening
All circumstances tell you so
We are afraid to see through it, though
It feels like being punched in the soul
We placed ourselves in a giant hole

Every slice of a remaining life
Could be just a late victory of an early end
Will it be washed away
Or will the scars in the ground still be visible?

It seems the longest road found its end
With not enough time for amends

We wonder if it is just a bad dream
We wonder if it cannot be happening
Every circumstance tells you so
We were afraid to see through it, though
It felt like our souls were being hurt
While we placed ourselves in a giant hole

It was not to be forgotten
Things were not supposed to be bothered

"Stepping Stone"

Apart from the happiness you took away
Everything is going perfectly
I have never felt safe and sound
Out of your sight, away from your despise
Under my own ground

Imagine if it had gone on
Could have it been good or bad?
Ever since you have never learned how to love instead
Life will be your daily test
Nevermind about the past

Thank you for whatever you have done
Thank you but some things just went wrong
Thank you but we were not singing the same song
You could never hold on
You never held on

The precise moments could have been meaningful
If you had not been so despicable
It did not bother if it hurt
The bruises are in the look
The bruises are in the heart

Being thankful for whatever you have done
Stronger anyone else could become
It is the perfect stepping stone
