Sacrifice 05:13
oh sacrifice I won't gamble with the sacred dice can you hear the singing of the birds arise singing in tongues surrender my disguise oh sacrifice the wind chimes are humming softly at dawn the change of the season is on its way bearing the voices time to loosen the threads seems like you are weak you missed your goals you went astray you're a failure seems like you are weak (play safe) you missed your goals (no risk) you went astray (obey) you're a failure (don't make any faults) can't you see you're out of control (don't cry) you don't fit in (oh, I don't wanna) you'll never succeed (cry) you're an escapist (I'm scared to the bone) can't you see you're out of control (I'm afraid) you don't fit in (of being) you'll never succeed (stripped to) you're an escapist (the bone) now is the time (I'm afraid) to make a stand against these drags (of being left) release, breath (alone) and overcome your doubts and misery face your anxiety and grow allow myself to make space every detour comes full circle oh devotion

Old ghosts 05:05
smash my drunken heart no truth is all I need the pressure is so high it will smash my heart anyway pressure, pain and time create this world I'm in to push old ghosts aside won't work out life's not a funny game to play and steps to take rules to make and bonds to break it's no offence but in the end it all depends old ghosts won't set me free old ghosts are creeping slowly old ghosts won't let me rest in peace old ghosts are haunting my dreams old ghosts won't let me see old ghosts are dancing with me as you can't feel my fondness I’d rather shield its frailty I don't believe in soothsaying but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy do you dare to turn around and face the door labeled 'your past' with your father's face and your mother's eyes and your sister's embrace making the same mistakes breaking the same good hearts loving the same foolish ways that you wish you could love yourself and, yes, I'd like to go back and change the ways I came to be but then I'd be somebody somewhere else and, tell me, would you be there? no, we can't escape where we're coming from we're not to blame for what they've done we're walking straight into the past with every step we take ahead old ghosts ...

Oh Josephine 04:04
sitting in my own four walls but they don't talk to me the sheet of paper stays empty no words coming out of me no spark of light comes in my mind my heart is filled but it's all locked inside I cannot find the way oh I cannot see straight oh josephine, where have you been oh josephine, I missed you so oh josephine, it's good to see you again it's ok, it's alright, take your time just take your time taking time is easily said when nothing's said and done time takes its toll, frustrating me, more and more oh, how can I overcome I'm nearly losing my mind no muse to amuse me no kiss of hers inspiring me so, I'm waiting for my dear friend we'll set this shit friend oh josephine, where have you been oh josephine, I missed you so oh josephine, it's good to see you again it's ok, it's alright, take your time

about

"Make up a story... For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief's wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul.” (Toni Morrison)
