Track Name: Encounters
Constant stream of people
Where are you?
This search is subconscious and compulsive
I can't see this ending

There must be something with the way we parted ways
"You're not better than me" means "Don't you feel better than me"
I can't say when I've missed you the most
Today? Not far from the truth

This phase has been on for too long
I'm not moving, not even backwards
I roll the dice but the spinning won't stop
It's so much harder to take a step than not

Waiting for something to happen
Or this to turn into nothing
Waiting the next encounter
Still knowing it will make this harder

Waiting for something to happen
Waiting the next encounter
Waiting for something to happen

I see you walking everywhere
I hide my tears in safe distance
Track Name: The Unexplored
When you are surrounded by unfamiliarity
Will you navigate by sun or by your heart?
The woods are scary but so is the wide
Stretching as far as eye can reach
Only same and the same, mile after mile
Through unexplored

Don't give up now
Light is breaking from the window
Home is near
Can you feel it?

Day by day, step by step
And you are running out of strength
It's starting to feel like a hopeless journey
Scared, alone and lost

The ground changes under your feet
but your steps stay the same
Your staggering body is refusing the gravity
but is losing the fight

Get up, home is near
I know you can feel it
Straighten up your limbs
Light is breaking
Track Name: Open / Unsaid
Too exhausted to stride
This swamp keeps swallowing me in
But I'm still here
The water is pushing through my skin
I lost the sight of the crowd I was walking with
No leader gets lost
But I'm only a member

I follow the stream
And it leads me by the ocean
To the most quiet place I've been
To the longest shore that I 've seen

(So much left open and so much left unsaid)

Still I feel like everything is running through me
I can't get hold on anyone or anything
I spread my arms to show you my love
But maybe this lap is not enough

This could be the moment to let go
But so much left open
and so much left unsaid
Are you waiting the next encounter?
Track Name: False Control
Another day
Another night
I'm still alive but so tired
I've been living my life within these same circles for far too long
I can't let go
I've been drowning my own voice
I've been living by false control

I can't remember how it feels to be free
Free from the fear
Repeating these patterns has come to an end
And I will lift my head up again

Could I be the person that I want to be right now?

If I change I need to change forever
But I don't want to live this way
I will find myself again
I won't give up until I do
Track Name: The Journey
I will let this go
The time has come for me to move on

The clock stopped ticking years ago
But I kept you in my mind
So many tides have washed these shores
since I forgot the meaning of time

I wanted to forget
I wanted to escape
When all I needed to do was to wait

Through the months, through the years
Through every emotion
Cause every bleeding wound I had has since healed

I feel like I'm stronger now
Stronger than yesterday
