A side of my stable mind I can't explain is aligned to yours As you weigh your thoughts You bring a load over my Over weighted head of opinions Hey listen now It's alive You're alive in my head I can hear what you don't say out loud It gets so cold like the warmth sucked out From within It’s time to breathe Would you like to see The dead deep end You dwell on me As you wish You please Let me feed you a piece of me It’s time to breathe Would you like to see The dead deep end A form In an off disguise An erased sigh I can't explain is in my Line of sight You take over And rule so to leave me Blind and paralyzed I can hear what you don't say out loud It gets so cold like the warmth sucked out From within It’s time to breathe Would you like to see The dead deep end You dwell on me As you wish You please Let me feed you a piece of me It’s time to breathe Would you like to see The dead deep end Some lazy attack takes me by surprise Can’t carry on Hazy eyes filling the space From me and awareness Don’t let me go It’s time to breathe Would you like to see The dead deep end You dwell on me As you wish You please Let me feed you a piece of me It’s time to breathe Would you like to see The dead deep end

Technically we’re all becoming Wireless junkies Indulging in high doses of Day dozing Powerless motives Limitless liberties Bound to be Cause of Virtual throes of ecstasy Bound to be Cause of Analytical addiction Technically we sell our lies Through a whole new world of alibis By far the luckiest ones we feel Depending on the very things that are making us weak Bound to be Cause of Virtual throes of ecstasy Bound to be Cause of Analytical addiction Bound to be Cause of Analytical addiction It’s easy to find reasons Hard to find inspiration to act on them Bound to be Cause of Virtual throes of ecstasy Bound to be Cause of Analytical addiction

A wait not too long But it just won’t set right We're all here and there We collide Unplanned and unaware Keeping up with the route set It goes on with The clock that is us Takes away in a minutes’ time Hopeless plans laying folded by Could we drain out the worst of fears? Had to know but time disappeared It’s easy to see it like everyone's a choice To be with or leave out with no one else but I As you made me see differently What I thought as simple turned not to be Down and unaware my mind becomes again with you just out of reach It plays tricks like these Takes away in a minutes’ time Hopeless plans laying folded by Could we drain out the worst of fears? Had to know but time disappeared It’s easy to see it like everyone's a choice To be with or leave out with no one else but I Life is not too long Though it does seem like that And we're constantly looking for something that's not there We can never really know the choices we made were good or bad How life's journey to find meaning, happiness, companion often becomes scary and overwhelming by the constant nature of never ending choices and how it's just impossible to know which one We'll probably know it all much better but by an age when our own time becomes too limited Know it all better by a time When your time becomes far too less Know it all better by a time When your time becomes far too less Know it all better by a time When time becomes far too less Know it all by the time When time defies your will Know it’s all within your reach Still can’t help it slip Know it all well and loud How could it turn out so? Know that whatever be Still can make them count

Madness 04:51
Stay like this for now Till you find me there Just like that and I know you will Call my name and ask me Why am I snoring in my dreams Could you please not make it seem Its gonna be a while before it all makes sense Is it now gonna be a while before I finally make mistakes? Game on and on it goes I can’t wake till I make a big mistake Game on and on it goes I can’t wake till I make a big mistake Come out of your self What you see is what it makes you feel It’s as real as the world you see Form the hours in your mind like You’re playing from here on out till infinity Gonna be a while before it all makes sense Is it now gonna be a while? But this is how it all begins Game on and on it goes I can’t wake till I make a big mistake Game on and on it goes I can’t wake till I make a big mistake Stay awake for the other side Just call my name and ask Game on and on it goes I can’t wake till I make a big mistake Game on and on it goes I can’t wake till I make a big mistake

Take one step closer to me Would you take on what's been closed on me? Look at me Do you see anything out of what's been usually there? Can't control Something went off But cannot hear it explode Then comes a point And everything stops You move so close Like the walls closing on It's not claustrophobic It's something else And suddenly all I can see is you And it's good It’s good You smile you smell you're real Take something closer to being A reason for the change in the scene Look at this weight over me Pressing down not so gently Then comes a point And everything stops You move so close Like the walls closing on It's not claustrophobic It's something else And suddenly all I can see is you And it's good It’s good You smile you smell you're real

A blip so small Could be missed if not searched Yet it changed everything That I knew Slowly it built Without letting itself known And took over me Completely You came to me like I always have Became a part like I never had Filled me with what I thought I'd lost Yet here I am waiting for more You may have everything But I am what you need A silence that can be felt Like the rays that burn the skin But listened closely Can make you all alone Even in the most crowded of places A reason when all others Seemed without any reason Knowing not what to expect But I want to believe It’s how it is to be You came to me like I always have Became a part like I never had Filled me with what I thought I'd lost Yet here I am waiting for more You may have everything But I am what you need You may have everything But I am what you need And all this time I never thought I’d be willing to say That you turned out To be the one I didn’t want to turn away from You may have everything But I am what you need You came to me like I always have Became a part like I never had Filled me with what I thought I'd lost Yet here I am waiting for more You may have everything But I am what you need You may have everything But I am what you need You may have everything But I am what you need You may have everything But I'm fucking what you need You may have everything But I am what you need

Time Walk 06:19
So much for the world of time It falls on us As it flees away Story of a gift that dims our views on All we could touch Could feel Heal Lay here for a while Take my hand What we're always running from May just appear scared Stay here for a while Breathe with me I'll keep you safe if it gets close enough To make you fear Time travels fast When you're stuck in a time gone by And before you know You'll become No more than what once you were Lay here for a while Take my hand What we're always running from May just appear scared Stay here for a while Breathe with me I'll keep you safe if it gets close enough To make you fear Scared in its self Scared all the way Its fine I won’t say Stop anymore Let it take me where it may Just slow enough To appreciate All that I can Everything I have Anyone I can Anyone I can Want to the end One with an eye Eye for the taste of all to come All that is Lay here for a while Take my hand What we're always running from May just appear scared Stay here for a while Breathe with me I'll keep you safe if it gets close enough To make you fear Scared in its self Scared all the way

Wait I saw a light on the door Wait let’s see what it brings to life Wait stop and stare what made this flare Wait it may just show what we don’t know Taking in and out all the weight you measure in your mind Taking in and out all the weight you carry in your mind Slow down We’ll fight another time More it seems appearing as if less More than me cautious can you be? Being vulnerable appears has its way To trick our minds into controlling another fool Taking in and out all the weight you measure in your mind Taking in and out all the weight you carry in your mind Slow down We’ll fight another time Feeling things are as good as they’d get When I know it’s not so Being static it helps create In yourself a delusion of a happy man By all means Can I give it up? By all means Can I keep it up? By all means Can I give it up? By all means Can I keep it up? Taking in and out all the weights you measure in your mind Taking in and out all the weights you carry in your mind Slow down We’ll fight another time

Island 05:04
Eyes are burning with thoughts that are filled With another day another day Hands are cold feeling obvious It’s close to end and so it is This night is never ending It seems so out of place My face is a thousand years Deprived of innocence In a time when all looks like What’s been left for us to crumble on How I want to find another way for us to stay around This night is never ending It’s moving slow and away I fear that it is never coming back to the point that made The fire I can see an island Washed up away Across a hundred miles and it’s not always the same I can see an island Washed up away away Across a hundred miles and it’s not always the same Lay aside with that simple smile It’s so wonderful how you can conquer my world It takes a moment to say what I paralyze my mind with every day But it’s not the time or the place In fact I fear it’s much too late Hands are cold feeling obvious It’s close to end and so it is This night is never ending It seems so out of place My face is a thousand years Deprived of innocence A thousand years I can see an island Washed up away Across a hundred miles and it’s not always the same I can see an island Washed up away away Across a hundred miles and it’s not always the same Every road in this world could lead to the same place If every man Longed for the same things But we don't so The paths they change These streets can never know Where we want to be So it carries us to wherever it may be Most end up Where they don’t belong Some end up Where they don’t deserve I can see an island Washed up away Across a hundred miles and it’s not always the same I can see an island Washed up away away Across a hundred miles and it’s not always the same

There are lines The hopeless lines That we’re not meant to cross Such a shame It’s just to hasten us up In believing however it fits No point putting blame Not at all but still Neglecting is a start Strange how we act everyday Pretend that we know and be all judgemental Shame how we all fall down To the same ground To the same ground Strange how we act everyday Pretend not to know and be all judgemental Shame how we all fall down To the same ground To the same ground It takes time to understand We’re all many fold puzzles What seems obvious Takes a different light When you flick the wrong switch No point putting blame Not at all but still Is neglecting the seed? Strange how we act everyday Pretend that we know and be all judgemental Shame how we all fall down To the same ground To the same ground Strange how we act everyday Pretend not to know and be all judgemental Shame how we all fall down To the same ground To the same ground Silently breaking Silently over my head Silently breaking this world But suddenly goes by A sense of being derailed On every attempt at Every attempt at a new World Strange how we act everyday Descend at the sight of a slightest chance Shame how we all fall down To the same ground To the same ground Strange how we act everyday Pick up a lie and see it like It’s a side of what we’re from today Tomorrow More than we know Changes are sold Changes are sold Changes are sold Changes are sold

Is it a sigh I see? Open up Open more Let me breathe in this sea Your sea I see Hours after horrors of a queue Look for another clue And wonder if it's all glued together Don't wither Just slither Slither Should we stand another spate? Oh is it safe? Oh is it safe? Much appears at stake Oh is it safe? Oh is it safe? Is it a life I see? Growing from the air of grief Set me for a spin Of your play Oh please display Sour pills can dance until You waive it for the last And still not long for more Let this river Guide us Take us Should we stand another spate? Oh is it safe? Oh is it safe? Much appears at stake Oh is it safe? Oh is it safe? Oh is it safe? Lost in a light and feel you’re alive But don’t come this side There’s an endless gift of nothing And it’s cold I’m watching you enter this light And it’s cold I’m watching you being burned Burned Tell me something Is it close enough? When you close your eyes and feel you’re falling down Tell me something Can you ever feel you’re alive when you know this is not it? Stand another spate? Oh is it safe? Oh is it safe? Much appears at stake Oh is it safe? Oh is it safe? Stand another spate? Oh is it safe? Oh is it safe? Much appears at stake Oh is it safe? Oh is it safe?

about

“We are extremely delighted to finally announce our long awaited third album ‘Alive and Aware’. It’s been five years since we released our last album and we couldn’t be more excited to present our new songs to you. We wanted the album not only to sound perfect but to be structurally and compositionally perfect and resonant with honest & genuine musical expressions. We wanted it to be absolutely real in bringing out the new direction in our sound, to manifest our deep rooted inclinations towards creating a different and omnipresent vibe and atmosphere in the album and also to show our growth, not only as musicians but also as individuals. We have spent a lot of time in making this record come to life and have loved every moment of it. And we hope you will enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it. This album has been a labour of love. This is our time to feel ALIVE & AWARE with all of you together. Let us have the pleasure of having you join us in this journey”
