Iridescent 05:37
A glint, A glow, A faint shimmer pierces through, As a light beckons in shadow Gleams of hopes that once were, Slowly fractured, Piercing through the cracks: the colours iridescent In ash, In dust, It shall remain, flickering, As the ember arises A glint, A glow, The warmth starts to wane, lingering Losing their lustre: the colours iridescent Fluorescent lights in the distance With every step they dissipate A familiar sense of intuition As they dwindle: the colours iridescent

Onyx 08:39
The scars you cannot see Are memories beneath the skin Alone and broken Revealed to me are the things stolen The spirit has shattered Nothing ever mattered Is this what you wanted? Crawling on the floor, you’re in the dirt Your fingers and nails broken Your heart is black and filled with hurt Is this what it has come to? Evanescent bliss escaping you Bleeding onyx from the heart Tears are made of diamonds Shades of violet and gold Becoming bleak as they dissolve Bleeding onyx from the heart Fears created from silence The skies once blue now feel so cold A gloominess that's replaced hope Pain you do not feel Masked behind a veil so thin The spirit has withered As the trees in the throat of winter I see you crawling forward Reaching for a voice, it's all you've heard Your mind and soul are broken from paranoia, disconcert This is what it has come to Evanescent bliss destroying you Bleeding onyx from the heart Tears are made of diamonds Shades of violet and gold Becoming bleak as they dissolve

Verloren 04:06
Dolend in het duister, Niets tastbaars. Geen bekende geuren, noch kleuren. Alleen het illustere, de intuitie: ik ben verloren. Een lach zonder diepte: een maskering. Ogen dof en zonder sprankel: een tragedie. De dualiteit van eenzaamheid is mijn bestaan. Het besef geeft dat rust en vrede? Weg is mijn passie en lust. Ik wil rust, ik wil vrede. Adem uit een diepe zucht, Laat mij gaan uit het heden. Ik wil rust. Ik wil vrede.

Howls of distress Shattered hearts Drifting through the night Fading, fading Echoes insisting Harrowing calls Drifting through the skies Wailing, wailing Cacophonies of silences Breaking through the noise Trailing, trailing Vouloir s'échapper Pouvoir s'en aller Plus loin s'enfoncer Dans la nuit étoilée Trouver son chemin Voir le lendemain Projeter le lointain Accepter le destin The pale reflection upon my face Soon passes by, leaving me with grace My voice is lost in the darkest night Warmth overflows, gripping me tight
