1.	Odyssey, Pts I-V 12:43	lyrics	buy track
Twenty days and twenty nights,how much more I'd have to wait? As I crushed the waves at sea, gods decided my fate Foul winds began to scream, as the sky was turning gray Clear like crystal I could see the dead would show me the way. This journey seems to have no end, under candlelight that flickers like my faith Every step takes me back again, second thoughts and self-doubt with my every breath Let me go Forty days and forty nights, I sailed against the tide In my path I met sirens and I faced suicide Their each grown and every moan sent a shiver down my spine But something seemed so well-known, the voice they used was mine This journey seems to have no end, under candlelight that flickers like my faith Every step takes me back again, second thoughts and self-doubt with my every breath Let me go Across the fields of broken thoughts, beyond the comfort of a lie Beyond the event horizon of the black hole that is your eye Whispers echo like a song, countless moments standing by Whispers echo on and on, memories waiting to die.
2.	Stoner Witch 03:51	lyrics	buy track
She takes a hit at day and doesn't sleep at night She hides the scars and marks with make up all the time Oh, she's a stoner witch She's up and taking turns with everyone she meets Food stains and cigarette burns, on her bedroom sheets Oh, she's a stoner witch Stoner witch cast a hex on me Blood in my eye now and I can't see Words turning into spells, coming of her mouth And if she's into men I hope she likes me now Oh, she's a stoner witch Stoner witch cast a hex on me Blood in my eye now and I can't see Heart of glass shattered on the floor No matter what I give she always asks for more.
3.	Sunbird 03:33	lyrics	buy track
She dances naked in the shimmer of the sunrise She holds the key to fit the heart of every man She is a fairy from a tale in human disguise And she soars high like a bird of the sun Sunbird, will you sing me a song from faraway lands? Will you help me atone the sins on my hands? Where you'll be when I'm gone, where will you stand? She resonates every shape of every colour As she chases away the ghosts of night And when she's searching for a better tomorrow The sun weeps 'cause she's out of his sight Sunbird, will you sing me a song from faraway lands? Will you help me atone the sins on my hands? Where you'll be when I'm gone, where will you stand?
4.	Polaroid 600 02:48	lyrics	buy track
I'm too ambitious, up to no good Just so you miss me I did everything I could It was too much, still not enough Maybe love is for the lucky and the tough If you wanna tear me, tear me apart All you have to do is just mail me your heart Just so you know, I'm doing fine 'Cause in my mind I still pretend you're mine So come on baby and hate me, like you love to do Come on baby and hate me 'cause I fell in love with you I'm still ambitious, up to no good Just so you miss me I did everything I could It was too much, still not enough Love indeed is for the lucky and the tough So come on baby and hate me, like you love to do Come on baby and hate me 'cause I fell in love with you So come on baby and hate me, over and over again Come on baby and hate me 'cause I fell for you in the end
5.	Mud 06:05	lyrics	buy track
There you stand next to the fire, hoping that it starts to rain You want to bathe into desire, you can't have that without pain You dream in colours, live in gray, running towards an early grave What to do and what to say? Who to abandon and who to save? Through the mud, what's happy now is sad Through the dirt, all you can do is hurt Yourself In a moment planets crashed and by the time our glances met You were running out of touch, no room for feelings, just regret In a moment our lives changed, no time to wave or say goodbye Who to thank and who to blame? No one else but you and I Through the mud, what's happy now is sad Through the dirt, all you can do is hurt Yourself Mother, mother, mother, draw me of the mud Mother, mother, mother, I want to have some fun Mother, mother, mother, help me pay the toll Mother, mother, take the snake out of its hole
6.	Prayer 04:36	lyrics	buy track
I sink in this town, broken faces all around And my dreams droplets of pain, they disappear like tears in the rain Empty streets late at night and the stars they don't shine as bright Without a home, without a name every road looks like it's the same And I pray Every sign leads to a dead end, inner demons have won again People talk and as the words fall, I cannot understand them at all And I pray And I pray, words unansweared knock on your door And I pray, without knowing what I'm looking for And I pray, you won't leave me alone in this town And I pray, you can't do this to me right now
7.	Odyssey, Pts VI-X 07:02	lyrics	buy track
Every night the spirits sing, words ambassadors of pain Inside the belly of the beast, I found myself stuck again The more I struggled to be free, the more I dragged myself in Individuality, my mind's greatest sin The arrow strikes true through the hole My burden lifted when I lost it all Time to lose this old disguise Everything'll be over If I close my eyes and Let it go
