SOULJOURNERS LYRICS

1. Permanent Scars

It's time to wake up...

The minutes are passing by and I stretch myself so thin.
The shadows they catch my eye I find spirits wandering.
The bloodstains are telling why and I feel it setting in.
The moonlight uncovers lies and I'm left here wondering.

I'm cracking the shells of time and when I look to where I've been.
I'm getting constrasting signs when I try to comprehend.
I'm hiding in my disguise and I think I'm gonna win.
The daylight unmasks my eyes and I see them on my skin.

I feel my tired skin.

My eyes are blind... senses are heightening.
My hands are tied but stronger from fighting
and I've lost my direction to the place where you are
and how do I start to try to cover all these permanent scars?
All of these permanent scars.

The healing, it happens as I trust my faith within.
The darkness is passing by as I play this to the end.
The clutter, it finally dies and I move ahead again.
The spirit surpassing why and I feel it pouring in.
I feel it pouring in.

My eyes are blind... senses are heightening.
My hands are tied but stronger from fighting
and I've lost my direction to the place where you are
and how do I start to try to cover all these permanent scars?
All of these permanent scars.

My body breaks.
My soul starts to wake.
It drives through my veins. Through my veins.
The scars start to fade. Yeah.

All of these permanent scars.

My eyes are blind... senses are heightening.
My hands are tied but stronger from fighting
and I've lost my direction to the place where you are
and how do I start to try to cover all these permanent scars?

My eyes are blind... senses are heightening.
My hands are tied but stronger from fighting
and I've lost my direction to the place where you are
and how do I start to try to cover all these permanent scars?
All of these permanent scars.

Ohh! Ohh Yeah!

2. Crazy Times

Lost my state of mind, feel me floating in my room.
Unconscious without direction.
The time is undefined wrapped up tight inside my tomb...
It's meant to give me protection. Protection.

I opened up my eyes, all my ties are coming loose...
A whole new civilization.
Why am I still alive trapped inside of their abuse?
It feels just like an abduction.

Then you try to escape like a rat from it's maze.
And you can't come awake and you don't even know.

It's a strange night in these crazy times.
You wish you were dead, but glad to be alive.
It's a strange sign when you lost your mind
and you think, "it's just another night" in all these crazy times...
In all these crazy times.

Dive into the pool, feel the waters chill.
Take a hold for you.
Am I still alive? Ohh Am I still alive?
Dragged out by your feet... Not controlled by me.
I can't even breath.
I see a darker light, I don't think that I'll survive.
Such a violent abduction.

Then you try to escape like a rat from it's maze.
And you can't come awake and you don't even know.

It's a strange night in these crazy times.
You wish you were dead, but glad to be alive.
It's a strange sign when you lost your mind
and you think, "it's just another night" in all these crazy times...
In all these crazy times.

And I lie asleep in agitated state.
The nightmare is over
or was I awake all this time?

Then you try to escape like a rat from it's maze.
And you can't come awake and you don't even know. You know.

It's a strange night in these crazy times.
You wish you were dead, but glad to be alive.
It's a strange sign when you lost your mind
and think "it's better to run for your life" For your life...

It's a strange night in these crazy times.
You wish you were dead, but glad to be alive.
It's a strange sign when you lost your mind
and you think, "it's just another night" in all these crazy, crazy times...
In all these crazy times.
In all these crazy...

3. Fall

Why can't I break through these walls that conceal me?
My fists are bleeding from pounding on concrete.
Coldness it shatters the hope that I'm hearing,
my spirit's screaming "you'll never own me!"

They're building my room, I'm saying goodbye.
I've gotta break through, through.
They're watching me move,
they're watching me die.
I'm looking for you, you...

Are you, you ready to catch my fall?
Are you, you ready to catch my fall?
(Fall! Fall!)
You ready to catch my fall?

How do I cut through this horrible feeling?
My lungs quit breathing from inhaling toxin.
Numbness, it cripples the faith that I need and
my spirit's screaming "You'll never beat this!"

Feel it screaming out (all alone again),
hear me pleading (all alone again),
see me reaching out (all alone again),
now I'm feeling all alone.
This is burning (all alone again),
my stomach's turning (all alone again),
now I'm hurting (all alone again),
now I'm feeling all alone.
(Alone...)

Are you, you ready to catch my fall?
Are you, you ready to catch my fall?
Are you ready?!
Fall! - [x4]

They're building my room, I'm saying goodbye.
I'm looking for you, you...

Are you, you ready to catch my fall?
[x4]
How do I cut through this horrible feeling?
My lungs quit breathing from inhaling toxin!
You ready to catch my fall?!
You ready to catch my fall?!

(Are you ready to catch my fall?)
[x4]
Are you ready?!

4. I've Waited

I have waited so long for you.
I was alone, but somehow I knew
that I would find you, I would find you.
Next to you, my internal flame it starts.
Its love for you never fades away or stops.

If love is in our blood tonight,
then my veins are full.
It rushes to my head tonight,
now all I see is you.

Tu eres la luz de mi vida,
tu eres el sol en días oscuros.
Buen mañanitas a usted mi amor,
you are the one I have waited for.

Since we met, I have left my past behind.
We're slowing time, we won't have to say goodbye.
You give me life!

If love is in our blood tonight,
then my veins are full.
It rushes to my head tonight,
now all I see is you.

Tu eres la luz de mi vida,
tu eres el sol en días oscuros.
Buen mañanitas a usted mi amor,
you are the one I have waited for.

Tu eres la luz de mi vida,
tu eres el sol en días oscuros.
Buen mañanitas a usted mi amor,
you are the one I have waited for.
You are the one I have waited for!
You are the one!

You are the one, I've waited
and somehow I knew that I would find you...
That I would find you...
That I would find you...

5. Sapphire World

[Instrumental]

6. Lost Vision

You can't see anything,
close your eyes remembering.
I'm still here, I'll wait for you.
I need to see you, you gotta break through.
You are crying out loud,
your tears disintegrate.
You can see your reflection,
but can you see your face?
And when day turns to night,
you're all alone with you
and your door is closing,
you're out of view and...

Can you see me? Can you hear me
screaming your name?
Your life can't end this way.

All the ashes of them are blowing you away.
The fire's slowly spreading,
burning down your faith,
and you know it's not right
what they put you through.
Though your life is ending,
I'm still defending you and...

Can you see me? Can you hear me
screaming your name?
Your life can't end this...
Your life can't end this way.

7. Medicated Memories

Staring blankly into the sky,
waiting for answers to float on by.
But nothing comes quickly
and nothing is sure,
so is your triumph
worth all of your hurt?

It's the basis of humanity:
you gotta reach the highest throne.
If you sell your soul for the victory,
then you are alone.
(Sitting all alone)
You're trying to find a reason to live.
(The medicated memories are all I know)
You're trying to find your reason to stay,
but medication's calling me, it's my last hope.

And there's no pleasure in one who dies,
and there's no answers for your demise.
And death comes quickly, and death is sure,
so is your triumph worth all the ones you hurt?

It's the basis of humanity:
you gotta reach the highest throne.
They sell your soul for victory,
then leave you all alone.
(Sitting all alone)
You're trying to find a reason to live.
(The medicated memories are all I know)
You're trying to find your reason to stay,
but medication's calling me, it's my last hope.

You'll find it if you want your soul,
you'll find it if you want your life.
[x2]
If you want your life,
you want your life.
Do you want your life?

It is the basis of humanity:
yeah, we can reach the highest throne.
But if we sell our souls for the victory,
then we will end up all alone.
(Sitting all alone)

We're trying to find a reason to live.
(The medicated memories are all I know)
We're trying to find a reason to stay,
the medication's calling me, it's my last hope.
[x2]

What do you want from me? (We're losing you)
I can't take this anymore! (We're losing you)
Now nothing good could ever be, (We're losing you)
nothing worth the fighting for. (We're losing you)

Everything you see is the devil inside of me.
[x4]
(We're losing you)
[x8]

8. Half Life

I know that I could find a way
to challenge the rules
instead of just eating them.
I know that there will come a day
when I will decide
exactly what's happening.
You've got the upper hand on me,
your grip is slowly tightening,
crushing if I should disagree.
What have you done to me?

Every time I try to speak free,
you're pushing down on me.
Inject my heart with a vile fluid,
you try to poison me.

Half your life is bleeding out,
half your life decaying now.
Virus multiplying,
you lost half your life...
lost half your life!

"Do what you're told and live today!"
Controlling the cards
instead of just dealing them.
I know I have the right to play,
harness the horse instead of just following.
You've got the tighter hold on me,
your grip is slowly loosening.
You're gonna listen carefully:
you're not controlling me!

Every time I try to speak free,
you're pushing down on me.
Inject my heart with a vile fluid,
you try to poison me.

Half your life is bleeding out,
half your life decaying now.
Virus multiplying,
you lost half your life...
lost half your life!

I was walking, clearing disorder,
and thinking a little bit longer
and feeling a little bit stronger.
I'll start again today.
Now I'm running, feeling the sun
where I'm hoping the load will be lighter,
and knowing the days will be brighter.
It's gonna be OK...

Every time I try to speak free,
you're pushing down on me.
Inject my heart with a vile fluid,
you try to poison me.

Half your life is bleeding out,
half your life decaying now.
Virus multiplying,
you lost half your life...
lost half your life!
[x2]

9. Mind Control

There's something inside our brains
the world cannot contain.
Our thoughts run rapidly,
so fast these eyes can't see them,
and if they take control,
who knows how far they'll go?
They take integrity and throw it away,
the new law says it's time to pay.

Erase my life, destroy my dreams,
there's nothing left, no in-between.
Test my faith against the law,
there's no one left, who do I call
when we are...

Brain-dead, force-fed, unable to cry
and dying slowly, hoping
to see the other side with these eyes...

Bird's eye view up here,
(Am I being chased?)
will the army clear?
(Am I insane?)
Feel them drawing near,
(I am insane)
what just happened here?

They want you to be a member,
your membership doesn't last forever.
Sign in blood and make my God illegal,
small drips of truth on a fire of evil.

You have erased my life, defaced my dreams,
replaced what's left somewhere in between.
A twisted faith, a stubborn law,
there's no one left who I can call.

Brain-dead, force-fed, unable to cry
and dying slowly, hoping
to see the other side with these eyes...
[x2]
These eyes... [x3]

10. Tangent Universe

I feel I'm losing touch with reality
and all I say is broken into static waves.
There's so much I need to ask you,
but I'm afraid you'll tell me
everything will end today.

I tried to save my life,
but I lost my own.
This feeling inside I've never known.
Embracing death, I know this seems unfair.
I know you're hurting
and I know you're scared.

You know I'm sharing
the same air you're breathing,
you can feel me staring,
we're moving through time.
You know I'm trying to fix what's breaking,
every living creature on this earth dies alone...
Yeah!

I feel I'm losing tough with my gravity,
and all I do is fueled by my energy.
There's so much to ask you,
time is just slipping away.
My portal opens leading to my destiny.

This kind of fear I've never known,
(As death draws near)
to lose my life but give you hope.
(It is clear)
Embracing death, I know this seems unfair.
When you wake up tomorrow, I won't be there.

You know I'm sharing
the same air you're breathing,
you can feel me staring,
we're moving through time.
You know I'm trying to fix what's breaking,
every living creature on this earth dies alone...
Dies alone, it dies!

"As I die, I unlock the hope the world needs.
I had to make this decision to save your life.
Wait for me: I will return to set this right.
Don't fear them: they are just a mortal power.
When I return, there will be nothing to stop this.
The end is inevitable.
We can change the outcome of the tangent universe.
As I shift to the other side,
I ascend to a bright realm
where I will stay only for a matter of time.
I will return to set this right..."

You know I'm sharing
(You know I'm sharing)
the same air you're breathing.
(The same air you're breathing)
You know I'm sharing
(You know I'm sharing)
the same air you're breathing.
(We're moving through time)
You know I'm trying to fix what's breaking.
(We're moving through time)
Your sin is burning,
(burning down their home)
'cause every living creature on this earth,
it dies alone...dies alone.
It dies alone, dies alone!

11. Predestination

[Instrumental]

12. The Avenger

I heard a tapping, someone gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber door.
It was my calling, my role was falling,
falling to the floor.

It's your turn so the crow cries,
I will never forget you.
Buildings turn and people die,
but real love is forever.

When euphoria starts to crawl up your back,
slammed tight up against the wall.
When that voice inside screams out its call:
"Victims aren't we all?"

Love's the key, unlocking death,
it brought me back here to end this.
I lost my life and many died,
but you and I reunited.

When euphoria starts to crawl up your back,
slammed tight up against the wall.
When that voice inside screams out its call:
"Victims aren't we all?"
"Victims aren't we all?"

When euphoria starts to crawl up your back,
slammed tight up against the wall.
When that voice inside screams out its call:
"Victims aren't we all?"

(Victims aren't we all?)
[x18]
The key to immortality is to live a life worth remembering.
Your dragon's curse is dead this time,
I'm returning to the scene of the crime.
Victims aren't we all?
Victims aren't we all?
