Ariel
I woke today to feel a wave
Washing over me and over everything I'd been
No sound escapes this barricade,
Not a single ray of light can shine into my eyes
So cold, piercing to the bone
Like the memory of the agony from an atrocity I've never seen
All hope, all coherent thought
Slowly leaves my mind and all that's left behind is a grim battleground of mental fights
It's clear to see it's up to me
To save myself or suffocate for I'm alone
Start carefully, grow gradually
As a drop becomes a flow becomes a stream so strong
Each step of the way ahead
Leads me closer to what I need to do, what I can't hesitate to undertake
Each breath drawn before my death
Is an empty field waiting to be filled, waiting to figure out its destination
Feel your heart beating
Turn it to your advantage
Cage your own demons
And spit them right between the eyes
Breathe again
Feel your heart beating
Turn it to your advantage
Cage your own demons
And spit them right between the eyes
I woke today to feel a wave
Showing me that I can stand a chance

Tales
If you see I'm breathing under the sea, probably I'm a mermaid
If you see I'm flying over the city, probably I'm a leaf
So don't you worry, it's all perfectly safe, I'm doing this most every day
If at first it took you by surprise, you should by now see what it's about
You say I should climb off my cloud
But I don't think I want that
If I spoke the language of your dreams, I could reveal just how I feel
No mistranslations, not a single word to keep me from speaking what's on my mind
If I spoke the language of your dreams, I would reveal just how I feel
Instead I stand and scratch my empty head while I await some twist of fate
You say I should climb off my cloud
But I don't think I want that
If you see I'm breathing under the sea,
Probably I'm a mermaid

If You Wait
Some days, many days anyways, always
I'm thinking of you over and over
All the tears and the fears and the bliss till my head is sore
Gotta stop, if I could then I would but what if I can't
Each time you and I took a step forward
We went the wrong way so we ran right back
Then as time passed us by we found out
What we thought was a fling was in fact a beautiful thing
Come see the face of a new day
Have a taste of what's to become
Fall into place at its own pace
If you wait it'll all be gone
One day, suddenly, I could see, clearly
I had to move on to be whole once more
To be stuck in the past could not last
Yet I know what I saw will remain deep in my brain
Come see the face of a new day
Have a taste of what's to become
Fall into place at its own pace
If you wait it'll all be gone

Ghost Story
One starless night
Four strangers died
One creaking floor
Four concrete walls
Don't wander near
It's haunted here
You must stay clear
All those fools who went in there had simply disappeared
If a chill went down my spine - no surprise, it's getting cold inside
If a shadow crossed my sight - I don't mind, I just turn on the light
If I hear a dreadful cry - I don't freak out, I know it's in my mind
If I see my skin turn white - I tell myself it's alright
Don't wander near
It's haunted here
You must stay clear
All those fools had tried to save me from my destiny
One starless night
Four strangers died
One creaking floor
Four concrete walls

Be Still My Soul
Be still my soul, for a while
Remember what you have been and will become again
See the road of a million miles stretched out in front of your eyes
And read the story of your life
A blade of grass on a field
Reaching for stars far away, broken by wind and rain
Till a day just like any other brought change upon the father
Never to remain the same
And you keep on feeling that you keep on drifting
Cause you keep on hearing what they keep repeating
So you keep pretending that it doesn't bother you at all
A rush of blood to the heart
Boy, you could shake the Earth and set it right again
If you found that blade of grass and tore it right from the ground
You might even reach the stars
Fly, fly high
Over limitation, over your frustration
Over all that's dragging you down - down below, where you came from
Overpopulation
Overnight sensation
Overcooked, overbooked, over your head
Carry me home, carry me home
When I fall to the ground
Bury my bones, bury my bones
Bury what's left of me
And you keep on feeling that you keep on drifting
Cause you keep on hearing what they keep repeating
So you keep pretending that it doesn't bother you at all
