Vortex

When will you break the silence?
Let go of this
You are far from reality
It’s not worth the pain

Sucked into this vortex
A reel of misery, endless nights
Sucked into this vortex
Desperately digging a way out
You are one step closer

Since you are no longer ignored
Alone on this land
Fighting the flames, and failed
Truly a loss, scattering deep
End of a black world
Words piercing like serrated blades
A sharper day altogether
And then you’re one step closer

Another step closer to somewhere

The desert storm thunders across our land
Echoes through the darkest alleys
I can still see all the lovers of me
I still know those feelings
But I have chosen to forget
Won’t you look at me one last time
When I’m only watching you suffer?
Feel the pain..

[Interlude – Solo]

[Clean Singing/Whispers]
You’re one step closer (..to somewhere)
I’m one step closer (..to somewhere)
You and I are one step closer to nowhere.

PS :- This song isn't written for anyone else other than me. The only picture I had in mind while writing it was a man suffering in the desert storm.

My Sacrifice

I see you run away every time I come close
Eternally together, fighting for supremacy
With these words I pull back and I bleed
Think again
Isn’t this my shattered soul you are looking at?

Flowing into the deepest oceans
I keep track of your thoughts
And beyond the deep despairs
Where is the love now?

Defeated a long time ago
Yet stayed to prove fate wrong
Blood of faith now stains my hands
Looking into the past
You misinterpret her for yourself

[Clean Singing]
Still the same
This path to your hatred
Every tear I shed – provoked by guilt
Where does My Sacrifice lie?
In letting you go or letting you grow?

When you dare to love me again
Tell me this isn’t my shattered soul you’re able to see.

If I manage to start a band again soon, I'll post a recording of this as well.
