Ariadne 03:38
I wanna be more, I've been staring at this wall, like it's a mirror. Did I create this place, where I hang to a thread of what I, what I wanted to be. So Ariadne, where have I been? Cause I've been lost, for so many years. I forgot why I came here, in the first place, blinded by the light of the steel. I stopped at the first choice, they both looked the same, which was less travelled, was it a game? I didn't want either, but I couldn't turn back, left to work, right to black. So Ariadne, where have I been? Cause I've been lost, for so many years. I forgot why I tried, when these walls are so tall, there's no way around, without falling for their call The further I play, by the rues of their game, the tighter the thread, around my neck. Is there another way? Cause with every step, there's always worlds that I oppress. What other choice, am I left? We live in a corporate head. What other choice, am I left? We live in a corporates head. So Ariadne, why didn't you find me? Where were you, in all of those years? Did you forget about me, when I stepped outta frame, am I just this number on you page? I'm just a voiceless, number on the page. Cause I'm just a voiceless, number on the page. Cause Ariadne, Why didn't you find me? Where were you, all of those years? Did you forget about me, When I stepped outta frame? Cause I'm just a number on the page. So Ariadne, where have I been? Cause I've been lost, for so many years. I forgot why I came here, in the first place, blinded by the light of the steel. I wanna be more, I've been staring at this wall, like it's a mirror...

Another day and the sun still rises, and you are no longer here. To see the rays of the sun, light up this beautiful world. I need to accept that I have no control, cause the wind will always go, which ever way it chooses to, I have to find a way to ride this. No longer stay grounded, so unable to let things in. I know wherever you are now, you stay alive in all of our hearts. Know you're a part of what drives us, to always try and better who we are. Cause I am a leaf and you are the wind now, that is a beautiful thing, cause I know that you'll guide us, through all that life brings.

Down the only road, I passed, the mask I wore, when I was strong. I was wrong. The road has lies and familiar faces, with a smile I tore this place in two, you. She was the war, when I was weak, I etched my name, on the wall. Cause I can't keep going over, the same old points. I can't keep going over, the same old ruins. Cause I can't keep going over, the same old points. (I can't keep going over), the same old ruins. (the same old points) I can't keep going over, the same old points, the same old points. You hold a lie inside your chest, protected by your bones and flesh, and when I look into your eyes, I see your looking at yourself. Cause I can't keep going over, the same old ruins. I can't keep going over, the same old points. I can't keep going over, the same old ruins. I can't keep going over, the same old points. I can't keep going round in circles, circles.

The Man 05:04
You lift your hood up, your skin hardened. Eyes at the floor, nothing can touch you, if there's nothing left. So sew up the warmth in your chest, with every breath, til there's nothing left. You say he world never owed you once, but you started at the back of the class. He said: 'Hold your fist and it'll make you strong, and that clenched jaw will keep you silent, you're the man, and that's what matters, you're the man, and that's what matters.' So you found a girl pretty and warm, and you call her a thing, and you will perform, yeah, just like they showed you. Now you're afraid she'll leave, scared she'll run, so you hold her down before it's begun, yeah, just like they showed you. The tears stain your sheets, as your anger reached those peaks. You swore you'd never be like your father, but you ran so far, you ended right back here. But you're the man and you'll work this out alone, you're the man, you'll work this out alone. You miss her, but you don't have the words to say (it). You're life's in chaos, but you don't have the tears to cry this day. Cause you're the man x3 You'll work this out alone. Cause you're the man, you're made out of stone. Cause you're the man, you'll work this out alone. Cause you're the man, you're made out of stone. Cause you're the man, you're the man...
