Intro

Hello, I am here to guide you through your meditation. First, Let's focus on your breathing. Breathe in, breathe out. Now, repeat these affirmations: I am worthy. I am unique. I am strong. I am enough. Good. Now:
The path will be difficult. It will break you. You may not recover. But wherever the Journey leads you:
You have only just begun.

One Track Mind
04:14
|
|||
|
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see,
An Ideal or a man who can't let himself be?
I'll dig down before I bend the knee with apologies,
My obsession can't put me at ease, or bring me release.
Raise a glass to the one track mind,
Linger not for the left behind,
Oh, I gave it all just to right my wrongs,
But I'm hanging on 'cause I'm not that strong (I'm not that strong)
Hold my feet to the fire and watch them burn,
Crack a smile and they'll never know how much it hurts,
You won't see me here lost in the smoke, or starting to choke,
We can disappear into the fold, our traumas untold.
Raise a glass to the one track mind,
Linger not for the left behind,
Oh, I gave it all just to right my wrongs,
But I'm hanging on 'cause I'm not that strong (I'm not that strong)
Just keep banging your head and someday it'll change, and maybe then you'll wake to find you're someone new.
But just maybe instead it stays always the same, praying that the fates will shine a light on you.
Raise a glass to the one track mind,
Linger not for the left behind,
Oh, I gave it all just to right my wrongs,
But I'm hanging on 'cause I'm not that strong (I'm not that strong)
(Look into my eyes and tell me what you see)
I'm not the strong
(An Ideal or a man who can't let himself be)
I'm not that strong.

TUFF
03:43
|
|||
|
Woeful eyes and scattered hearts
Though I never seem to care
Battered dreams, and sacred scars
I was never keen to share
never keen to share
Oh, can you take me back
To a time when I seemed to give a damn
Maybe i'e lost you maybe you're already gone
Maybe it's me but but baby we've gotta move on, yeah
Hold me high, and watch me fall
So you can pick me up again
This vicious cycle's seen it all
But we never seem to bend
never seem to bend
Oh, won't you take me back
To a time when I seemed to give a damn
Maybe i'e lost you maybe you're already gone
Maybe it's me but but baby we've gotta move on, No
Tryna be tough but maybe we've got it all wrong
Maybe I'm free cause baby we've got to move on, yeah
Waiting for change
Waking, the same

Waste
05:33
|
|||
|
Drenched in sweat,
High on regret
As I slowly lose my faith
A silhouette
Of all my debts
A heavy shroud I haven't paid
I keep swimming away from shore
To the depths of my despair
A better version I was before
But in the bitter end who's there?
I'm falling from grace, and I don't know why
Still it cuts like a knife
I'm laying to waste, but coverin my eyes
Just so I can survive
So hold me like someone you love
Console me like someone you loved
Breaking through
To something new
The broken record just replays
Is this deja Vu?
Is the joke on you?
Cause you're the only one who stays
Then you take that away from me
And you leave me in the mud
Like the parasite you still need
We have won when we are one
I'm falling from grace, and I don't know why
Still it cuts like a knife
I'm laying to waste, but coverin my eyes
Just so I can survive
So hold me like someone you love
Console me like someone you loved

Don't Make Me Go
03:36
|
|||
|
Another day goes by here without you,
Just another day where I lose my nerve,
You said we wouldn't look in the rearview,
But that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt
Woah
Don't make me Go
I'm thankful for the things that you gave me,
But I'm more sorry for the things that I took,
You said it wasn't your job to save me,
But that doesn't mean that you're off the hook
Every time that I try to get away, well I find myself in line
With a past iteration of myself frozen in another time
Through the fights and the tears and the fake farewells we barely have a hold
But I know in my heart this is for the best, just say it isn't so
Woah
Don't make me Go
Still at night will you haunt my dreams and make me wonder, "God what have I done?"
But we cannot go back it seems, to when I was stronger, and maybe too young
Don't make me go

Band-Aids
04:36
|
|||
|
Lead me on the road and I will follow,
make me a martyr for your peace.
Give you all the burdens you can't swallow,
take all the pleasure from these simple joys, and grant you some release, or a pause.
We can see we're at odds.
Are you tired of wearing Band-Aids? Cause I don't wanna know if I can let go of this pain.
And these scars will always stay the same. But I won't give up hope that one day we'll both find our way.
Find our way.
Bleeding on the floor in circumstances that make we wanna disappear.
Depleting all our second chances. I have to be resigned to what I did, and I what I always feared would come.
Leave me here I won't run.
Are you tired of wearing Band-Aids? Cause I don't wanna know if I can let go of this pain.
And these scars will always stay the same. But I won't give up hope that one day we'll both find our way.

We Will Not Bow
03:54
|
|||
|
Logged on this morning now baby, to see what I could feel. But when I saw my reflection in my hand, I didn't know what was real.
So light a candle for reason, before they get to that too. If we discovered fire for the seasons, who knows what they will do?
We say it loud, we will not bow.
Stand up and shout, we will not bow.
So whatcha gonna do now baby, you gonna stand up and fight?
Everybody's got their problems now baby, until you see the light.
All hail the AI now baby, the algorithm's supreme.
Just don't call your Google your Siri, or else you're gonna get reamed.
We say it loud, we will not bow.
Stand up and shout, we will not bow.

Obsession
07:12
|
|||
|
I see you in your room, sleeping through the gloom. This love not felt before, as I walk through your door.
Obsession grows through my bones. Hands take control of my soul
Pleasure fills your head, while tied down to your bed. Hush, don't make a sound. My love won't let you down.
Obsession grows through my bones. Hands take control of my soul
Close up your eyes to the light. Fingers on you skin, it begins.
Ahh
Obsession grows through my bones. Hands take control of my soul
Close up my eyes to the light. Dry all my tears drown my fears.
Hey now Don't you cry. Our love will never die

I Won't Change
04:19
|
|||
|
Staring down the open road, waitin' for my head to lay down somewhere.
Yeah everything is overblown, they don't even know what happens up there.
The Monotony of this society is killing me sometimes. If I could I'd blow it all away,
I won't change, though they're gonna try to make me
I won't change, while they overmedicate me
I won't change, yeah you know it's true, that I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I'm paying all these doctor bills, and I can't help to think what's in it for them?
'cause what's so wrong with chasing thrills; isn't that why people die of boredom?
'cause you don't know what you don't know and knowledge is a bitch.
Where is my advocacy to say:
I won't change, though they're gonna try to make me
I won't change, while they overmedicate me
I won't change, yeah you know it's true, that I'm never gonna be good enough for you
Wading through the days and I'm feeling nothing
Living in this haze, I'm appeasing something
But what about me? And what of my needs?
Take these bottles, capsules, and doses and let me be
I won't change, though they're gonna try to make me
I won't change, while they overmedicate me
I won't change, yeah you know it's true, that I'm never gonna be good enough for you
Fucking good for you

Unhealed
06:18
|
|||
|
Silent hell, looking inside to find a former shell
Misery, pulling apart and raping all of me. Of me
What If I'm the only one, the one who'll never heal?
What if when it's said and done, I just don't wanna feel?
Would I be free?
So I wait, repeating all these habits that hate. I hate.
What If I'm the only one, the one who'll never heal?
What if when it's said and done, I just don't wanna feel?
Would I be free?
Im staring at the edge of it all, wondering if I will fall again.
Paralyzed by my own advice, can't materialize an end.
When will it end?
What If I'm the only one, the one who'll never heal?
What if when it's said and done, I just don't wanna feel?
Would I be free?
Would I be free?

Sick
04:52
|
|||
|
Laying in bed wondering the day will hold for me, though I'll do it tomorrow.
Sometimes it's all that I can bear.
Staying away from all the vices that burden me, 'cause they're too hard to swallow.
But sometimes I just don't even care.
'Cause maybe I'm Sick. Maybe I'm lost. Maybe I'm just not worth the cost.
I'm probably wrong, but what if I'm right? 'Cause lately I just don't feel alive.
ooo just don't feel alive.
Disclosing my mind in words and numbers to everyone like I need a disclaimer. They're not excuses, this I know.
But if I shout it loud enough would I come undone, or would it change my behavior?
'Til then I'll wander on this road.
'Cause maybe I'm Sick. Maybe I'm lost. Maybe I'm just not worth the cost.
I'm probably wrong, but what if I'm right? 'Cause lately I just don't feel alive.
ooo just don't feel alive.
Have I been here before? I'm changing like the weather. Can't keep up with the score; it's different everyday.
'Cause you've been on my mind, and how I could have been better.
But then I falter and the moment fades. Yeah then the moment fades.
'Cause maybe I'm Sick. Maybe I'm lost. Maybe I'm just not worth the cost.
I'm probably wrong, but what if I'm right? Am I living or am I just alive?
alive?
'Cause maybe I'm Sick. Maybe I'm lost. Maybe I'm just not worth the cost.
I'm probably wrong, but what if I'm right? Am I living or am I just alive?
ooo am I just alive?

Lead me on the road and I will follow,
make me a martyr for your peace.
Give you all the burdens you can't swallow,
take all the pleasure from these simple joys, and grant you some release, or a pause.
We can see we're at odds.
Are you tired of wearing Band-Aids? Cause I don't wanna know if I can let go of this pain.
And these scars will always stay the same. But I won't give up hope that one day we'll both find our way.
Find our way.
Bleeding on the floor in circumstances that make we wanna disappear.
Depleting all our second chances. I have to be resigned to what I did, and I what I always feared would come.
Leave me here I won't run.
Are you tired of wearing Band-Aids? Cause I don't wanna know if I can let go of this pain.

Find our way.
