B.O.M.B. 04:04
See that grass flow, feel the wind blow. It’s calling out your name, rekindling that flame. Feel the embers, your mind remembers when the flames were fanned, the blaze so grand. The endless weight you carried through, make no mistake still hangs on you. It chains you down, it eats your soul, but you know right now you have control. Break through, ignite the fuse inside you. Just be the bomb that we knew you could be, blast yourself free, B.O.M.B. You’re a sonic boom. Containing it, maintaining it, restraining it, I’m torn apart by gravity, calamity, depravity, it’s off the chart and I can’t explain, give a name for this pain, I’m losing my aim, still I have to keep on... I’m gonna boom, I’m gonna bang, I’m gonna blow, I’m gonna burn, I’m gonna bash, I’m gonna go. Break through, ignite the fuse inside you. Just be the bomb that we knew you could be... Break through, ignite the fuse inside you. Just be the bomb that we knew you could be, blast yourself free, B.O.M.B. You’re a sonic boom.

Burn 09:20
One more time, the trauma stirs inside. Steel your mind, cast your heart and soul aside. No son of mine. Fear guiding the steps I take, I see the mistakes I’ve made. All these fears are connected, now I’ve rejected this grim design. Through these years I’ve neglected myself, accepted to close my mind. I will no longer bow down low in the name of old sympathy. Don’t ask, don’t question, it won’t change all that I know you can perceive. And I know that it’s too late. Was it choice or was it fate? I don’t care I just want back what is mine, and if not time, then I just want to be set free from this chain that weighs on me. Nothing more I’ll give in turn, and if I must then I will burn. Fear guiding the steps I take, I see the mistakes I’ve made. Rage give me the strength I need, break this bond that weighs on me. Facing the storm, through destruction reform. Burning it down, standing my ground. And I know that it’s too late. Was it choice or was it fate? I don’t care I just want back what is mine. And I know that it’s too late. Was it choice or was it fate? I don’t care I just want back what is mine, and if not time, then I just want to be set free from this chain that weighs on me. Nothing more I’ll give in turn, and if I must then I will burn.

Canvas 05:23
I know the tales you weave when you’re down, and I know your hiding spots in this ghost town. (Turn the page) you turn another page (open the cage) and let your emotions flow (let it flow) and it’s as though your cage let you go. The neon colours dance in the rainfall, and they shine on your canvas, they’re at your beck and call. (Turn the page) you turn another page (open the cage) and let your emotions flow (let it flow) and it’s as though your cage let you go. You’ve never tasted freedom sweet as the summer sun and you’ve never spread your wings in freefall. It never occurred to you there’s a world beyond this one, behind the gate that weighs a tonne. (Turn the page) it’s time to turn another page (open the cage) and let your emotions go (turn the page) and now you see beyond your cage, now let go. There’s a time and place, there’s lost and found. New will replace the old worn down. There’s a life behind but all the things you find will pave the way to another day. There’s a silent grace when it all comes down. Like a last embrace, no word no sound, but a made up mind will save you time, and the rain, it goes away.

Shine 04:54
We both know there’s no place that your reach can’t go. See your soul, what once was shattered now made whole. One step forward, now you’ve started on your way. Another follows suit as night turns into day. And I know you’ve got what it takes to make it through. Fix your gaze on any goal, the key is just do as you do. Tonight dancing in the light, feel it burn inside. No one taught you how to shine this bright. Tonight dancing in the light, feel it burn inside. No one taught you how to shine this god damn bright. Tonight dancing in the light, feel it burn inside. No one had to show you how to shine.

Open eyes and mind, hear the sands of time flow. As it passes by leaving me behind to this uncertain mile. Crawled, walked, ran, but now I lie down for a while. Staring at the sky I watch the clouds roll by. Feel the cool wind sigh and breathe new life to my open eyes and mind.

Once 11:07
No I’ll never ever ever say the word again and I’ll sever every tether I once would mend. I won’t take the fall, breathe or drown. You can’t break this wall, I’m ready for the breakdown. Now I know what I must do, what lies ahead (and it’s cutting me right through the bone). And all the sentences I will leave unsaid (they will never let you know). I won’t take the fall... I can’t get through, there’s a wall but I didn’t build it, was it you? And I can’t place blame, but give me something while you can still recall my name. If I scream and shout, then would you snap out? If just for one day, all the things I would say... But if you can’t hear my voice, then I have no choice, then there is no other way. I know you’re far gone, but goodbye feels so wrong. Cause if you don’t understand, then how can we carry on? But if this reaches you, if my words get through, then no more need be said. Every word is true. I stare at my apartment wall, I feel quite mad and after all I don’t dare blink my eyes in case it all comes down, blows up in my face. I don’t know what I can say to make you change your mind. I don’t know what I can do but leave you here, behind. Behind the wall, behind it all, you’re out of reach, can’t recall... Restless dreams I face, each time same place. Shards of glass inside won’t say goodbye. Behind the wall, behind it all, you’re out of reach, but still I call. I know I’m wrong, I know you’re gone, but I’ll keep banging on that wall.
