Enter 01:28
Enter at the darkest point Where there is no path This is where and when your life begins Are you afraid to walk alone? To take a step and risk it all? Life awaits in the unknown What do you stand to gain if you deny If you defy that voice inside?
2.
Chosen Path 02:25
Each choice made A step towards my fate A journey that cannot be undone To live with the weight of my mistakes And grow stronger as I carry on The days of lashing out at everything And biting the hand that feeds Only wore me down Now I'm left to reap what I had sown Perhaps I've felt this broken before Losing battles and losing the war To stand in the fire and feel its burn Suffer 'til there's nothing left to learn What else can one do? Keep breathing Keep pushing Keep lifting through the pain Through years of trial and error You learn to see things a little bit clearer No matter how the world unravels, The greatest war to be won Is within yourself Remember: "This is the path you chose" And there's no turning back So now I must collect myself Pick up the pieces of shattered dreams And learn the way of grace: To make use of suffering Each choice made - a step towards fate A journey that can't be undone Keep breathing Keep pushing Keep lifting through the pain Keep living Keep loving In spite of everything

Conditioned 01:32
I was once young and broken By the world and thoughts of injustice It took years to strengthen my core And maintain balance at last Deafened by A world at war The blood of children Oppressed and poor Paralyzed By shattered faith In human beings And deities I fell to my knees And I collapsed internally But the world just kept spinning It gave me no sympathy The universe grants indifference To universal suffering But now I rise to stabilize... All those years at war with myself Self-condemned to hell within hell A profound lesson was learned: We can only progress from where we are
4.
The heart may break a thousand times Before you find the strength to carry on And you know I know that pain I know it all too well Of wanting the world to change in an instant But it doesn't... (It never does) Brace yourself for the hard climb ahead You're never going to make it if you can't Deal with disappointment We stand at the foot of this mountain It towers over our heads Do what you can while you can Understand that change is a process The heart may break a thousand times And still we may not live to see the world as it should be But I have wept all I can weep Now it's time to climb Step by step With iron grip And focus
5.
There is no time for self-deprecation Not in the midst of so much suffering I have emerged from narcissism Now my path is clear There's no turning back To bear the weight And feel the cries of the voiceless To see no end to the violence It's enough to render one hopeless The weight is released when hope is lost A rite of passage through the darkest of times Led me to the light on the other side There is no time for self-deprecation Not in the midst of so much suffering There is a call and I will answer Now my path is clear There's no turning back In an instant all was changed... I shed the weight of the carcass of youth To meet my destiny In this life I must be strong For those I love, for those in need In an instant I came of age... Now my path is clear There's no turning back
6.
In years past I couldn't sleep at night Phantoms of the world had seized my mind Anxious and searching for meaning by Raging against a mundane way of life Don't fear Your time will come Drawing near The time to return - return to the Earth To stand at the bank of the river of life Before we're all carried away To witness the truth of natural history Absolve all our joy and shame All the same Don't fear You will know peace Drawing near The time to leave - leave this world of pain So much I can't explain - like the madness of man Perhaps we're born just to suffer in vain But I'll do what I can To make my peace and transcend Return to the Earth Return to the sublime
