Catalyst

I was a straight shooter
Where no one remembered my name
Once was a loser
But now I’m at the top of my game
A freedom pursuer
Never gonna take it for granted
I’ll take it to the limit
No longer am I confined
Within the walls I’ve designed
I step outside
I’m seeing a light that’s guiding
Caught in psychosis
I urge you to get up and run
Recover the focus
‘Cause life is waiting under the sun
Be the catalyst
Sign up for adventure and ride it high
To make it worth living
Once you open up your mind
To see that light, you will find
That you can shine
And know that your life is calling
Because I’m feeling
Feeling like never before
That I’m courageous
Fearless right down to the core
Whatever I decide
Along the ride
I’ll hold on tight
To feel alive
Every moment of life is precious
(Life is precious)
Alive, inspired, and soaring higher
(Soaring high)
Because I’m feeling
Feeling like never before
That I’m courageous
Fearless right down to the core
Whatever I decide
Along the ride
I’ll hold on tight
To feel alive
And now I’m feeling
Feeling like never before
That I’m emboldened
I'm chosen for something more
Whatever I decide
I know it will be right
To feel alive

Voices In The Mirror
04:20
|
|||
|
You joined the sheep, fell too deep
Lost inside their villainous ways
Like a beast, hunt and feast
Live to prey on the weak
Taste of acclaim, love the games
That the vultures all like to play
Take no blame, feel no shame
While the monsters reign
Every day you hear
The whispers from the mirror
And their voices getting clearer
Can’t you see what you are?
Is it too hard to recognize the eyes
That stare back at you?
Your field of view fading
New sense of you, self review
Thinking back to all of the times
You were cruel, played the fool
With awareness, you realize
It’s too late, no escape
From the mirror frame
Contemplate your mistakes
Fears are taking shape
Hear their voices getting louder
Can’t you see what you are?
Is it too hard to recognize the eyes
That stare back at you?
Your field of view fading
Into the black
And there's no turning back
As you slip through the cracks
Looking for a break from the truth
That comes over you
Your field of view is fading
Fading out
I stand, ugly, hating all I am
I can not be set free from this damn
Hole that I’m trapped in
So broken, weak sense of control
That I’m losing
So beaten, weak sense of my soul
Hear the voices in the mirror
Now you see what you are
It wasn’t hard to recognize the eyes
That stare back at you
Your field of view fading

Forgive And Forget
03:41
|
|||
|
Relive the crime
I’m losing my belief
I pray for a sign
Yet find no relief
Faced with regrets and my sins
So broken within
Hey, it’s alright
‘Cause I believe in you
Don’t give up the fight
And we’ll make it through
Wounds weathered will come undone
Just think of all you can become
Don’t let go of hope
We forgive and forget
We learn from our mistakes
As we begin to reset
And build a better life
How could I trust in myself?
(Trust in me, it’s okay)
Could I become someone else?
Courage will carry you home
(I’ll be brave)
And the pain will be gone
We forgive and forget
We learn from our mistakes
As we begin to reset
To fill the void inside
We forgive and forget
We find that all it takes
Is strength within, no regrets
We’ll build a better life

The Defier
04:48
|
|||
|
Living in strife
Haven’t found solid ground to stand on
All my misfortunes
Wear me down constantly
(Come to me)
An echo conveys with a breath
In my head
(Come with me)
Instilling a message
I can hear it say
Give up the torment
You have the whole world at your feet
Live in the moment free of restraint
I am the fire, I’m the desire
You’ll never tame
I’m the survivor, I am the fighter
Breaking the chains
Hard to resist it
Fail to keep this urge at bay
(Call to me)
I call out for guidance
To light the flame in me
Keep walking forward
One more step closer’s all it takes
Follow me toward your destiny
I am the fire, I’m the desire
You’ll never tame
I’m the survivor, I am the fighter
Breaking the chains
I’m the advisor, I’m the provider
Feeding the flame
I’m the decider, I’m the defier
Changing your fate
I have decided
I know who I am meant to be
I’m satisfying my every need
I am the fire, I’m the desire
You’ll never tame
I’m the survivor, I am the fighter
Breaking the chains
I am the answer, I’m the messiah
Taking the lead
I’m the decider, I’m the defier
Changing your fate
I'm unchained

Second Wind
05:05
|
|||
|
Chasing a memory
The curse that weighs me down
Oceans of agony
How easily I drown
Struggling just to breathe
As I feel the waves from above
But it’s not enough to save me
‘Cause a broken heart couldn’t love
Setting out to find my home
My story starts to change
And now I have a sign of hope
I’ve got my second wind
Is it even possible to face the world again?
I’ve got my second wind
Is it irresponsible to risk the fall again?
Tired of waiting
The chances set aside
Faith has returned to me
Restores my will and pride
State of emergency
‘Cause I feel the change has begun
And new opportunities
Start to pave the way to new dawn
Taking back the time I’ve lost
I’ll step out of the gray
And justify the lines I’ll cross
I’ve got my second wind
Is it even possible to face the world again?
I’ve got my second wind
Is it irresponsible to risk the fall again?
I’m finally free, I finally see
It’s not the end
I finally see, I’m finally free
To live again
Looking through that open door
There’s nothing left to say
I’m gonna search for something more
I’ve got my second wind
I’ve got my second wind
I’ve got my second wind
Is it even possible to face the world again?
I’ve got my second wind
Is it irresponsible to risk the fall again?
I’ve got my second wind
Isn’t it improbable to stand so tall again?
I’ve got my second wind
Isn’t it impossible?
I’m finally free, I finally see
It’s not the end
I finally see, I’m finally free
To live again

Cycle Of Madness
03:28
|
|||
|
Aggravators always rattle the cage
When all I ever crave is my independence
Could be introverted, could be a phase
Either reality, I’m losing my patience
Fragile mind on overload overflows
Incessant notion that I’m caught in a crisis
Now I fear I’m spinning out of control
Impending bitterness is numbing the senses
It’s overwhelming me
An ever turning spiral
In darkness, it’s endless
A never ending cycle
Of madness, it’s madness
Sociability is fading, declines
When did humanity become such a project
Knowing this behavior crosses a line
‘Cause every action eats away at my conscience
Recognizing, understanding the flaw
Yet lack ability to make any progress
Animosity consuming my thoughts
Am I malicious? Am I nothing but selfish?
Am I the enemy?
An ever turning spiral
In darkness, it’s endless
A never ending cycle
Of madness, it’s madness
An ever turning spiral
In darkness, it’s endless
A never ending cycle
Of madness, it’s madness

Something More
05:16
|

|
Harmony
Imagination of humanity
Society
Assimilation and conformity
Clarity
Dissatisfaction with the day to day
Depravity
And mutilation of morality underway
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something more
Loyalty
An obligation to the family
Hypocrisy
Dissimulation and dishonesty
Misery
From inhibition to insanity
Antipathy
The suffocation that I can’t escape
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something more
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something more
You conceal the truth in
Everything you’re doing
While you falsify
Justify another lie
You won’t let the truth out
Too afraid or too proud
You can’t run away
From the pain that circles your brain
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something more
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something more
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something more
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something
Gotta give me something more

Beautiful
04:44
|
|||
|
Locked in your room
Finding solace in solitude
From the abuse you behold
Mind on the few
Casting judgments and attitudes
That disown you from the fold
But I believe that you’re beautiful
Like the light of the sun over the sea
Don’t you know you’re incredible?
And I believe that you’re beautiful
Cruel, bitter gaze
Fear and anger result in rage
As it cuts through to the bone
Conquer the hate
And the world will become the stage
Where the true you will be shown
‘Cause I believe that you’re beautiful
Like the light of the sun over the sea
Don’t you know you’re incredible?
And I believe that you’re beautiful
Only you can release
The pain and misery
They put you through
Now’s the time to believe
Your freedom can be seen
Out that window
Said I believe that you’re beautiful
Like the light of the sun over the sea
Don’t you know you’re incredible?
And I believe that you’re beautiful
Can't you see that you’re magical?
You’re a wonder the world’s never seen
God, I know you’re a miracle
And I believe that you’re beautiful

Perfect Storm
05:40
|
|||
|
Fell into a rush of happiness
Led by a kiss and sweet caress
But what lies beneath the surface
I could not explain
With your heart just like a hand grenade, untamed
How do I know if this is real?
How do I know the way you feel?
Am I the one to help you heal?
Am I prepared for this ordeal?
I thought I’d live to fight another day
To find another way, a way to love again
Instead I find that I’m another one
Caught in the perfect storm
And worn until it’s gone
Now I can’t discern the chaos from the bliss
In your abyss, this loneliness
At a loss to find the purpose
I can not relate
Spun around inside your hurricane in vain
How do I know I’m not a phase?
A victim lost inside the maze
I watch it all go up in flames
Carelessly set my world ablaze
I thought I’d live to fight another day
To find another way, a way to love again
Instead I find that I’m another one
Caught in the perfect storm
And worn until it’s all gone
Bringing me to my knees
Taking me away
In the eye of the storm, I’m falling
I thought I’d live to fight another day
To find another way, a way to love again
Instead I find that I’m another one
Caught in the perfect storm
And worn until it’s all gone
Bringing me to my knees
Draining me of my strength
Sweeping me off my feet
Taking me away

Home Alone
09:23
|
|||
|
Lonely in this silent, empty space
Calmly, I accept it’s cold embrace
And slip away
Waking from the constant lucid dreams
Inner peace is the one thing
I could not achieve, just out of my reach
Lack of will, taking over me
All my energy dissipates
Overwhelmed, falling endlessly
Heading down this long and lonesome road
I’ve found I’m losing all control
Is the fault all my own and should I let go?
‘Cause I’m home alone
The hatred inside has taken my light
I’m home alone, I’m on my own
Softly, I’ve admitted my defeat
Desperately, I am begging
Pleading for relief, numbing ecstasy
So surreal, wounds that cut so deep
Senseless as I bleed, bittersweet
Ever still, fading back to sleep
Drifting down this long and lonesome road
My mind has more than opened up
To the thought of the world just letting me go
‘Cause I’m home alone
The hatred inside has taken my light
I’m home alone, I’m on my own
Said I’m home alone
I walk through the night with no end in sight
I’m home alone, I’m on my own
And it seems like destiny
Set its sights on killing me
They say home is where the heart is
And that’s why I’ve been lost
For my soul is caught in war
As I long for something more
Looking down this long and lonesome road
A light shines through an open door
Will I answer the call to let it all go?
Will I find out what it means to be set free?
‘Cause I’m home alone
The hatred inside has taken my light
I’m home alone, I’m on my own
Said I’m home alone
I walk through the night with no end in sight
I’m home alone, I’m on my own
