i. Crossroads

These crossroads are tearing me apart
the rhythm of this life is out of time.
Can you hear the clock now?
can you hear me talk now?
'Cause i've been screaming for two years.
and i'm still yearning for your ears...

ii. The Devil's Staircase

The city was cold the day I was told it was true.
And the visions that I seen stayed inside of me,
they stayed inside of me.
And now i'm only awake when I sleep,
because that's when you come,
that's when you come to me.
oh and it was such a brutal truth.
and how the photograph confirmed what i already knew.
I only wish you knew that today i had to walk
deep into that valley just to forget about you,
where on the devil's staircase the wind held my hand,
and i closed my eyes
as it cast me adrift to peaceful land.

iii. Shackled Visions

I'm just another restless soul
standing on the face of a bright red sun
among a herd of other ones
waiting to be told why the past it burns.

And it always seemed so easy as a child
the visions that you have
involving such a simple life.
They never taught me about hierarchy at that age
or how imagination doesn't chime with the modern way -
a place where there is only seven days
that repeat
over and over
and over again.

Although even in the darkness we shall confide
as we share our shackled visions,
to survive.

iv. Epilogue

I built a statue to you
and i can't smash it down
oh i've tried and i've tried -
but i made it too strong.

it is my future
and it is my past

i remember those days
like they were my last
