Regeneration 03:00
Take a step back before I make the next leap Leave the comfort of a place so empty What is this familiar feeling? When my skin no longer fits me Vine growing through the cracks in the concrete I’m bigger than the walls of my body Plug my soul into the amplifier As I set another bridge on fire Time to regenerate Time to regenerate Break the cage, and escape this place tonight Time to regenerate Time to regenerate Change my face, and live a brand new life The unknown is a sea Let the waves carry me Until I'm lost or I have won Begin my regeneration Time to regenerate Time to regenerate Break the cage, and escape this place tonight Time to regenerate Time to regenerate Change my face, and live a brand new life Vine growing through the cracks in the concrete I’m bigger than the walls of my body Plug my soul into the amplifier As I set another bridge on fire Time to regenerate Time to regenerate Break the cage, and escape this place tonight Time to regenerate Time to regenerate Change my face, and live a brand new life The unknown is a sea Let the waves carry me Until I'm lost or I have won Begin my regeneration

Gotta find my place again Can’t waste a day Or I’ll waste away For a slave’s wage again It’s a losers’ game, but I play to win Someone just cut my lifeline I’m the oil spill from the pipeline Just couldn’t keep my mind confined Guess I’m not designed for the grind Look around and all I see are slaves Asking to be swallowed by the waves Swim all day then take the pain away Swim in alcohol and drown in rage Gotta go, change my flow Break the code, on my own Save my soul, take the road To the sea, down below But am I ready To bite the hand that’s fed me? To spit on the people that bled me? Take control of the reigns and hold steady And find my place again Close my eyes, take the plunge Swim my own pace again Now the sharks are closing in (Here I go Time to sink or swim Go free) Only one on my side To defy is suicide Rather die than comply Swim ‘til I reach the sky (Here I go Time to sink or swim Go free) Only one on my side To defy is suicide Rather die than comply Swim ‘til I reach the sky (Here I go Time to sink or swim Go free) Only one on my side To defy is suicide Rather die than comply Swim ‘til I reach the sky I’m punished, when I’m not greedy enough I’m punished, when I’m not needy enough I’m punished, when I don’t bend the knee enough I’m punished, when I don’t bow and kiss feet enough Feels like I’m locked in a cell Continue to buy and sell Stay productive and you’ll do well Must be the product, cuz I’m on the shelf With no wealth, got a thirst and an empty well You bled me dry to keep me in motion Now my blood can fill an ocean Gotta find my place again Close my eyes, take a chance Spit in your face again I’m the grenade, you just pulled the pin (Here I go Time to sink or swim Go free) Only one on my side To defy is suicide Rather die than comply Swim ‘til I reach the sky (Here I go Time to sink or swim Go free) Only one on my side To defy is suicide Rather die than comply Swim ‘til I reach the sky I’m choking, can’t breathe Help me No one else will save me Time to save myself Swim free Here I go, here I go Will I surface? Will I form gills to swim in these waters? Can I glide and stay here, so free? Go free, go free It’s time to sink or swim now It’s time to sink or swim It’s time to sink or swim now Swim deep, form gills Take away the moon It’s a dream with a lot of room This new life has slick skin I knocked and the universe let me in Swim deep, form gills Not a moment too soon I was dying there, I was crying there But now I glide I’ve found my pride Must stay free, can’t chain me I’ve gone too far now It don’t matter how I swim free This is me Go free Here I go, here I go It’s time to sink or swim now It’s time to sink or swim It’s time to sink or swim now So free So free

A new beginning and an end, right in front of my eyes One-way ticket in my hand, to the next life “Take it and don’t look back again,” the voices say “This is your one and only chance to break away” Tomorrow starts today Tomorrow starts today Tomorrow starts today Tomorrow starts today Tomorrow starts today

Find the center Find the start Just breathe Then check for the beat of the heart One cycle’s at an end Something else will now begin Find the center Find the start Just breathe Then check for the beat of the heart What’s new is old, what’s old is new Discovering what’s true Loose ends in the wind Loose ends, the path suspends Loose ends again again Find the center Find the start Just breathe Then check for the beat of the heart Phoenix rises from the embers Moth sheds cocoon, these know and remember Phoenix rises from the embers Moth sheds cocoon, these know and remember Find the center Find the start Just breathe Then check for the beat of the heart What will it take to end the dance? So much hangs in the balance Ready for release Regeneration and peace Find the center Find the start Just breathe Then check for the beat of the heart

Every night I pray for the return of the blackstar Every night I pray for the return of the blackstar Every night I pray for the return of the blackstar Stare into the black hole, what do you see? Is there an image of what you want to be? Can he change the world with the words on his lips? With eyes like stars that can stop an apocalypse What will you resurrect tonight? Fallen Rockstar in your sight Speak your pipe dreams into the void Guided by one candlelight Is this the coming storm? Is this your true form? Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Pale as the sun, like you're the chosen one Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Shy Boy stepped aside, as you lost your mind Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Is this the coming storm? Is this your true form? Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Where does Remy get these ideas in his head? Thinks he can bring The Rockstar back from the dead Stepping into the biggest shoes on the stage With a painted face, and his sex on display Is this in the prophecy? Is this in your recipe? A recipe for making history A recipe for making history Is this the coming storm? Is this your true form? Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Pale as the sun, like you're the chosen one Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Shy Boy stepped aside, as you lost your mind Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Is this the coming storm? Is this your true form? Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) (Every night I pray for the return of the blackstar) Remy, did you become what you want to be? (Every night I pray for the return of the blackstar) Remy, did you become what you need to be? (Every night I pray for the return of the blackstar) Remy, did you become what you want to be? (Every night I pray for the return of the blackstar) Is this the coming storm? Is this your true form? Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Pale as the sun, like you're the chosen one Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Shy Boy stepped aside, as you lost your mind Wearing the Black Star (Wearing the Black Star) Is this the coming storm?

It’s like a drug I can never come down from It’s like a dream I can never forget The way you dance in my brain, like a vision from another dimension You have the power to fix our timeline tonight Walk the streets, shining Tired of slowly dying Dance on hot concrete Seismic shifts beneath our feet Can’t go on waiting Stuck inside and fading Shake these demons free In the Year of Perfect Vision In the Year of Perfect Vision In the Year of Perfect Vision In the Year of Perfect Vision In the Year of Perfect Vision Dance in my brain, like a melody, over my backbeat Twist me tonight and change the chemistry of reality In the Year of Perfect Vision In the Year of Perfect Vision In the Year of Perfect Vision In the Year of Perfect Vision Walk the streets, shining Tired of slowly dying Dance on hot concrete Seismic shifts beneath our feet Can’t go on waiting Stuck inside and fading Shake these demons free In the Year of Perfect Vision Where you gonna take me? Must get out tonight, get out and dance Shake these demons free In the Year of Perfect Vision Stuck inside, no fun, no ride Doesn’t work for me, need it to be Too bright and too loud Wanna get lost inside the crowd Where can I put this feeling? Too much inside Nothing left to hide, but make room Cuz the release will be revealing In the Year of Perfect Vision In the Year of Perfect Vision In the Year of Perfect Vision (Ooo) (In the Year of Perfect Vision) In the Year of Perfect Vision (Ooo) In the Year of Perfect Vision (Ooo) (Ooo)

I wake up, and breathe the world in Face my fear, and begin again Sometimes I ask, “can I go on?” Sometimes I ask, “where do I belong?’ I sacrificed everything, in my search for freedom Time to start a new cycle, just like the last one Printing my one-way ticket Printing my one-way ticket I'm printing my one-way ticket I'm printing my one-way ticket I'm printing my one-way ticket

(There is a fertile darkness Lying behind the mask of stale answers And questions that no longer work) I’m in the garden at night Digging, digging, digging, digging Knees damp, kneeling in moist dirt Hands caked with the rich cool earth My back and shoulders tire Sore muscles complain As I reach, reach in and search Needing this pain, this doubt this hurt There is a fertile darkness Lying behind the mask of stale answers And questions that no longer work There is a fertile darkness Lying behind the mask of stale answers And questions that no longer work The moon is waxing full of blue spotlight On a background of pitch I will not leave my perch untended Nor this soil unturned I will not leave my perch untended Nor this soil unturned There is a fertile darkness Lying behind the mask of stale answers And questions that no longer work There is a (There is a) Fertile darkness Lying behind the mask of stale answers And questions that no longer work No, no, no, no Here’s where I lean in Feeling, feeling to find new answers I lean in Feeling to find new answers To find new answers Find new answers

Morose motherfucker, he’s given up The Warrior Punk in the goth club Dressed in Salvation Army camo Fighting a war with no ammo He’s avoiding all the faces He should avoid these places A dead-end life with dead-end choices Silence the voices, all he wants is NOISE! Here we are, at the end of our rope again Going nowhere He’s going nowhere We’re all going nowhere Gonna get in his car and drive to nowhere Drive fast, drive into the void Shake these demons off, he’s fucking annoyed Slam into the walls boxing him in Patience wearing thin, all he hears is NOISE! Here we are, at the end of our rope again Here we are, at the end of our rope again Blast that fucked up music! Blast that fucked up music! Blast that fucked up music! Blast that fucked up music! Blast off all of my skin Kill this self and begin again Can’t stand this purgatory I rewrite the story, and silence all your Noise Here we are, at the end of our rope again Your voice is sickening And I’m not listening The emptiness you’re threatening Get ready, here comes the reckoning! I’m bustin’ out of this black bag Freak flyin’ my black flag Freedom’s got a price tag Warrior Punk, come out and play, you better reload Got thoughts like grenades and they’re about to explode On the road between worlds about to murder my pain Lobotomize my bad brain, and take away all the Noise Here we are, at the end of our rope again Here we are, at the end of our rope again Here we are, at the end of our rope again Here we are, at the end of our rope again Here we are, at the end of our rope again

Nexus 03:26
I am a bridge between worlds I am a screen between worlds Sometimes I’m only between worlds Sometimes I’m only between worlds And what is the difference between Falling and standing still When you are inside the void? We are all drowning We found that part of ourselves Cascading, expanding always Expanding always Always free Rhythms are eternal Sing that song Sing that song Sing that song (Rhythms are eternal Sing that song Sing that song) Between the worlds is the Between Between the worlds we strive to begin Between the worlds we start to sing that song Rhythms are eternal Present... floating... floating... Falling free All that was left was this song This song Rhythms are eternal All that was left was this song This song

I’m staring at the landscape on the wall Wondering who am I out there? Who am I there? The way is many, the path is one Every moment, it is now or nothing Now or nothing It’s up to each of us to decide What to do with the time we are given To search and to find, or to only be blind Never knowing the life we should be livin’ It’s such a long road to be forgiven Oh, who am I? Looking here to start a brand new life Oh, who am I? Need some help to start a brand new life Brand new life I’m staring at the mirror on the way Thinking “who am I in there? Who am I there?” The past is over, the future’s unknown This moment, it is all or nothing It’s all or nothing Oh, who am I? Starting over in a brand new life We own so little but possess so much When we finally stop grabbing and learn how to touch Open new worlds, fall in love again With this life, you know it’s Everything, this life, you know It’s everything Oh, who am I? Starting over in a brand new life

Time slows down as you slip away You’re so still, but you’re expanding in place The final moment, before you have to change They’ve all left you, alone on the stage “Turn and don’t look back again,” the voices say Follow the call in your mind, to the open doorway You’re printing another one-way ticket Time waits for you, to write the next verse As they all play, in your universe You made that choice, to join the ageless But you did it your way, oh, you’re so rebellious “Turn and don’t look back again,” the voices say Follow the call in your mind, to the open doorway You’re printing another one-way ticket Head to the doorway Head to the doorway Step into the spotlight Step into the spotlight Shine for a moment Shine just for one moment Leave behind an image Leave behind an image You’re just an image You’re nothing but an image You’re nothing but an image now Play that song that makes you feel alive Play it over, play it over and over Play that song and explode into light Play it over, play it over and over again

Emergence 03:10
(La da da da La da da da da La da da da da da La da da da) Over the Atlantic Boundaries blur, I’m bound to a new land A snake shedding its skin Where’s the skin I’m meant to fit in? I’ve been broken open by joy Broken open by grief I seek some relief Stormy seas recovery I keep growing though it scares me so I just seek the truth, the source On a pilgrimage of sorts I’m bound to a new land Who am I entangled by? I don’t know, but she’s braver than I The one I sow the skin suit for Is wiser than the one before At a cape full of hope All will be good, I’ll be joined by those I should At a cape full of hope All will be good, I’ll be joined by those I should I’ll be joined by those By those I should I’ll be joined By those I should By those I should
