1 - WALK ALONE
if we choose to take a stand for what we know
and trust that quiet voice inside our core
we might walk a lonely road
- but we never walk alone
‘cause somewhere down that vacant road
around an unforeseen bend
an unexpected soul will show
who thought they walked alone
- but they never walked alone
ohh, ohh, ‘cause we never walk alone (2x)
the only way to rise and grow
is to leave the places that we know
(and learn to walk alone)
and test the comforts and the creeds
of what we used to call our home
(and dare to walk on our own)
ohh, ohh, but we’ll never walk alone
ohh, ohh, yeah we’ll never walk alone
when we step into the dark and close that door
we accept that we might not return again
and even if we would we know for sure
that we won’t be the same as we were
before we learned to walk alone…
ohh, , but we’ll never walk alone (2x)

2 - This Is The Sound
this is the sound of my breaking
this is the sound of the absence of my voice
let my body speak with silence
i’m out of sentiments and useless noise
this is the sound of disorientation
when you find yourself just feeling lost
we all crave reconciliation
but it is sometimes what we fear the most
yeah yeah yeah
this is the sound of surrender
like trumpets after final battle call
wait for the fog to clear before you stumble
over your own corpse and loose it all
yeah yeah yeah
this is the sound of new beginnings
coming on the heels of death
but sometimes it’s hard to believe in spring
when there are no leaves left
this is the sound of my clock ticking
of minutes turning into years
and context will soften the illusions
and grace will wipe away the tears
this is the sound (2x)

4 - I'm In (for Michelle)
you, you make my skies blue
you’re taking me to higher planes
with you, with you i find myself
not becoming someone else but who i am
home, it feels its been so long
since i set out to find
this state of mind
true, there’s no guarantee
that we will see this through
the storms of time
sometimes, i can feel the trembling
something is taking over your
courageous heart
so we must trust that we’re gonna learn
not in the comfort zones
but naked and alone
so we could just falter where we are
and hide and play it safe
deny our highest parts
but shame, what a game
this life can be so grand if we dare to play
no, let’s not hold back
cause life is precious
squeeze the last drop out of
your best asset
i’m in - are you in?
i dare to loose to win
but i’m in

5 - Choke
you got me down but now i’m coming up again
i know you didn’t mean to hurt
but did it just the same
i don’t understand
how it could cut so deep
but i can’t blame you
‘cause i know it’s within me
sometimes we choke the ones we love
and for a moment there
i bought your point of view
i wore the limitations that i heard from you
i am stronger now cause you revealed my pain
i even love you more
for you unsealed my strength
sometimes we choke the ones we love
i got ways to go and unknown maps to draw
i know am struggling
but i’m working through it all
i hope one day
you’ll better understand my ways
and all your black and white
will render into grays
i’m sure there were some times
when i was too damn blind
to sense the raging war
inside your heart and mind
forgive me
didn’t mean to choke the one i love
sometimes we choke the ones we love
mmmh, sometimes we choke the ones we love

6 - Empty Space Inside
dark grey shadows over me
through the clouds the sun i see
still i can’t shake this heavy coat
of this empty space inside
the table’s full, the crowd is loud
but through the noise i hear the sound
of solemn echoes in my heart
of the empty space inside
if i could stop the ticking clocks
turn back tides, untie the knots
flood with colors where i’m blind
my empty, my empty space inside
the more i look the less i find
i’m running circles,
running circles in my mind
and as the violent storm unfolds
i know that i won’t make it to the shore
i’m going under, eyes are closed
i hear the distant storm above
down here all is peace and peace is all
in the empty space inside
help the man and help yourself
hold the space for someone else
help them trust what they can find
in the empty space inside

7 - Red River
red river – i know what i must do
red river – i’m ready to cross you
you –
change colors as you please
impossible to know
the currents underneath
your pretty face
red river –
grant me to move on
red river –
you’re not where i belong
- anymore
we –
shared some common grounds
but now i must rise
or you will take me down
into your endless sea….
red river –
thank you for the ride
we know it’s better
if we say good bye
good bye

8 - Caliginous
adjective(archaic): dark; dim
can we swallow the fire
can we sustain the heat
do we dare the cough a little blood
from the smoke that we breath
better than to live with brittle bones
from the cold of being alone
everything seems vain
when we travel miles and miles to find the same
don’t want to just exist
in a life without spark - caliginous
the crooked trees seem so much more
exciting than the perfect forms
i choose the unpaved street
every time over predictability
everything seems vain
when we travel miles and miles to find the same
don’t want to just exist
in a life without spark - caliginous
oh-oh-oh (3x)
in a life without spark - caliginous
(repeat verse 1)

9 - Anything At All
don’t hold your breath
‘cause it may take a while
and life is uncertain
don’t hold your life
‘cause i can’t see anything
beyond theses curtains
‘cause all i know i know i know
is that i don’t know
anything at all
‘cause all i know i know i know
is that i don’t know
anything for sure at all
no preconceived notions
of any given outcome
there are too many variables
in this equation
just let the future explain
this current situation
‘cause all i know i know i know
is that i don’t know
anything at all
‘cause all i know i know i know
is that i don’t know
anything for sure at all
do i know anything, anything at all

10 - Who Will You Be?
listen careful, listen well
there is something i’d like to tell you
if you care to hear
life is precious, life is free
but capricious like the waves in the sea
if you’re unclear
(without true north)
many voices, many streams
will try to undertow your dreams
if you succumb your fears
so you
who will you be? (3x)
without (your own) true north
without true north
you, who will you be?
ohh
who will you be?
without your true north
without true north
without true north
without your own true north
(repeat verse 1)
