The Drive (Chapter I)
05:15
|

I'm overwhelmed by questions,
The most simple "why's".
It doesn't feel like home,
It just feels like lies...
There's no point in waiting
for the veil to drop,
This is the answer
It has to stop.
Fadeaway...
Seek my trueself,
Fadeaway...
I must go.

Here I am with an open mind,
Let me wander, let me fly,
Through this maze of senses I will follow,
And new awareness I will borrow,
Guide me through this place of bliss...
Let me follow your steps,
It all just seems so natural...
Let me learn your ways
It all just seems so natural...
I must take it all!

I am enthraled, mesmerized,
And with these pages, paralyzed...
Albeit relaxed, undaunted,
This house feels haunted...
Advanced it is,
Flawless it seems,
I wish they could see,
that's not all it needs! / that it's not all it needs!
A gentle breeze wrapped my face
as I open a new book.
Something direful I discovered,
A whole history I mistook.
I can't afford to think about you,
Why would you do this to your home?
It is something I can't get through,
Like a king without a throne!
The bleakness,
It saddens me...
"The Changeless",
It blinds thee...
My brain has casted me away,
The path is not over.
A new future I envision
Because after all "Home" is my lover!
Advanced it is,
Flawless it seems,
I wish they could see,
that's not all it needs! / that it's not all it needs!
A grand deception I've won
With this city's obscenity!

Fadeaway (Chapter V)

Fadeaway...
Seek my trueself,
Fadeaway...
I must go,
I soon must go...
Don't follow me, go away,
Leave me be and make your way,
Always in my mind you are,
Don't follow me this far...
Don't follow me, go away,
Leave me be and make your way,
Let us uncoil
And return onto our soil.
"Home" again,
As future sits upon a solitary lie,
My mind is racing to a past now long gone.
Will I ever find what I am looking for?
Everything will flow through my watchfull eye...
I have to bury something deep within my thoughts,
I know that there's something that I should've said,
But the deed is now done into my head...
Fadeaway...
Seek my trueself,
Fadeaway...
I must go,
I soon must go!
