[Intro: LTC] So Cold [Verse 1: Tom Niland] They got me now I am lost in the sound Of the darkness thats around I'm not searching what beauty can be found I'm trapped now Feels like I've just drowned I am laying on the ground I just need to finally rebound [Verse 2: LTC] So cold we shiver On down the river Woah oh Woah oh Woah So cold we shiver On down the river Woah oh Woah oh Woah oh [Verse 3: Tom Niland] I'm so reborn Took a whole morn Let me into the sky, then dropped me on the thorns Feel the thin brown trees Feel the ice cold breeze Don't stay too long, you will freeze Feel the thin brown trees Feel the ice cold breeze Don't stay too long, you will freeze now All around me, white snow falling Thoughts in a sea, the wolves calling All around me, feels so dawning Thoughts in a sea, feel like falling now [Verse 4: LTC] I ain't never been scared Since I saw you right there In front of me Don't change the way you speak to me, no Don't change the way you look at me baby So cold we shiver On down the river No, no I ain't never been this scared, no [Verse 5: Tom Niland] I ain't been so scared eel so unprepared I ain't been so trapped No orientation, lost my map I ain't been so scared feel so unprepared I ain't been so trapped No orientation, lost my map [Verse 6: LTC] I ain't never been this scared 'Till my Momma told me you should never be scared, no You and I should make amends Before the winter comes to an end, oh Lord I've been praying praying every night That the end isn't as cold as Ice And I wake up the next morning Thinking my wrist should be dipped in ice The thoughts of a man All wrapped up in his head Is it better if I end up dead Or can I take two steps back and Hope my life gives me three instead My feelings run with scissors All around my head Tryna make me lose my cool Tryna make me see red I care more about you than you said I know more about you than you said I care more about you than you said I care, I care, I care, I care, I care, I care, I care, I care, I can't I can't do this My feelings are pushing me through this I know that you want me I'm for you, You know this I'm tryna, I'm tryna gain something from this But I just, I just can't [Verse 7: Tom Niland] Twisted forest roads lead to my future I felt like this would come much sooner I lost all my sense, lost all my humor Soul destroyed, getting much fewer Day by day, night by night Lonely, nights free my whole mind Days feels like I'm loosing my sight Can't say that I'm feeling allright [Verse 8: LTC] So cold we shiver On down the river Woah oh woah oh woah I ain't never been this scared Since I saw you right there In front of me Now don't change the way you speak to me Now don't change the way you look at me I ain't never been this scared 'till my momma told me, 'till my momma told me You should never be scared, no You should never be scared Blood in the snow I know you wanna go I know you wanna go You should never be scared

[Act I] Streams of crystals Running down Through the brittle Frozen town They start to freeze In between the ashes I'm on my knees Seeing the white flashes [Act II] Just let me out now I feel so alone right now Trees falling on my soul Leaving me alive in a hole A hole, a hole A hole, a hole A hole, a hole [Act III] My soul, my soul, my soul Leaving me alone No control, no control Leaving me alone Got no way out Leaving me alone Leaving me alone Leaving me alone Got no way out Leaving me alone

[Verse 1] Drops running down my face Carving paths, leaving a glace Wish I could erase The memories of life in space I can see the light Illumninating my inner fight I forgot to tell you What I'm hiding is the truth [Verse 2] Aged old trees around me Trying to break free Can't feel my face anymore I'm a living walking corpse I see the help but am afraid If I think I shouldve stayed Is that worth it? Is that really worth it, now? [Verse 3] Desire growing inside Nothing feels in line Falling down, off the side Everything starts to glide Fear growing inside Just want to hide Falling down, off the side Everything starts to glide now

[Verse 1: Tom Niland] Living in the wild I just wanna be a child I wont ever be so mild Won't reconcile Won't ever see me smile now Couldn't believe the way we flow I just have to not fall below Too afraid to go back, build a bow To defend me, if they say hello [Verse 2: Griffin, The Delivery Boy] I cannot trust the darkness within The number of times he’s led me to sin The paladin tries to safeguard the peace but i split his brains with the slightest of ease Get on your knees and bow down before me I am the holder of the most unholy The schythe in the back and the chain on my side Stop trying to bargain and die with some pride* [Verse 3: Griffin, The Delivery Boy] My steel boots stay trodding I look toward the sky My past is dark But the future is nigh Silver stained with blood But I stopped the flood I do what I must Until my soul begins to rust And when that day comes I shall stare into his eyes And jam my frosted blade And smile as he dies From that day forward There would be no fear I will conquer death wherever and whenever he chooses to be near [Verse 4: Tom Niland] Floating around between the naked thoughts Still figuring how I'm gonna swim across This ocean that people call the mind Seems so endless, either that or im blind Got hit in the face with the stones That got carved out of old mystic bones I get guided by the bruised skies That allow me to see the world with one eye

[Verse 1] Lights, flickering in my eyes I seem to forget the price Of standing above An new city that has fallen off Russian signs all around me I don't know where I am lost in I am in a different world, Nothing's ever been So fear-inducing, why did I begin Should've never gone onto the ring line Should've stayed out of the decline Nothing around here looks divine Looks like its fallen out of align One sign I could read, said Moscow I don't know what this is, surrounded by crows Wanna go back to Roscoe Everything's depressing, old Picassos [Bridge] I just dreamt of the city That's infront of me, looking so gritty [Verse 2] Wandering between all my natural friends Kinda feels like home, hope this won't end Finding inner peace was my only intend Didn't know that for it I would transcend To another planet, such a fucking lie I don't know how I couldn't see with my eye The intention behind the scary moves That were played on me, this only proves that-

Won't try, won't try, no no no [Outro: Sydney Kerley] No-oh-oh-oh-oh Wo-ah-oh-oh-ohh

[Verse 1: Tom Niland] 3:30 am, I'm in a abyss Evaluating all the chances that I missed Time is right now, pain's there to reminisce Reminds me of things I've never wanted to admit But which of these led me to deserve perdition The choices I made never came to fruition Followed blindly, let my life transition Okay to bad, this was never a position That I wanted to be in, full demolition Of all that I achieved, worse and worse condition All leads me to a life of suspicion Against everyone's that in submission So now, I'm left in this hell right here All I wanna do is cut off my ear or to disappear All I know is I can't endear this hell right here [Chorus: Tom Niland] This is all surreal, I'm in an endless loop of fear There is no appeal, to this world, opposite ideals This is all surreal, I'm in an endless loop of fear There is no appeal, to this world, opposite ideals [Verse: SAVE] A demon in disguise, wanted a prize He wanted to talk about the things that ain't right Like how is your mom, how is your dad How is your pad, why is there so many feelings of bad Do you want change, do you want pain You'll go insane For money and fiction I told him ain't rich yet I want all of these pictures All in my mind, is so surreal like And I need them existing, so let me sign On that contract you giving I peel off the lies, in all of my visions Then give them to blind, and tell em just listen This is the cries, of all that is missing That you keep alive, whenever you wish it I feel like in time, they will respect it Cause this what I, will never rendition Cause baby, I've been seeing my soul in demons lately They shade me, and try to chase me in my feelings, I've been crazy I can not handle the stranger things that make me Baby [Chorus: Tom Niland] This is all surreal, I'm in an endless loop of fear There is no appeal, to this world, opposite ideals This is all surreal, I'm in an endless loop of fear There is no appeal, to this world, opposite ideals [Verse 3: Tom Niland] Down here I met an old man Full of history, he made up a plan To escape this eternal ban He was here when it all began Told me he was part of a klan That's the reason he is dammed for a lifespan Reliving his worst memory ever since then Infinite burning got him a black tan Whenever he is close to being relieved He's pushed down again, can never achieve The small fraction of light he wants to see Locked in the chains of his sins, detainee This is the underworld, this is the dark side I guess now its my turn, need to abide Every single soul here died a hundred times I don't see what I did compared to their crimes [Chorus: Tom Niland] This is all surreal, I'm in an endless loop of fear There is no appeal, to this world, opposite ideals This is all surreal, I'm in an endless loop of fear There is no appeal, to this world, opposite ideals [Bridge: Felix Red] Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh [Verse 5: Tom Niland] I'm on my way out back to a normal life Went to hell, now back, erased my eyes I can't even start to describe what I saw Horror right infront of me, would've broken every law I'm on my way out back to a normal life Went to hell, now back, erased my eyes I can't even start to describe what I saw Horror right infront of me, would've broken every law [Outro: Edvinas Stonis] Pragaras persekioja kiekviena, ar jie tai zhino ar ne.

[Verse 1: Tom Niland] The feeling never stops just like the clock Gotta be strong 'till the last knock Soul got stolen, put behind a lock It is unreachable, forever blocked My head's the place where two persons meet No matter what im doing in the russian streets It all died 30 years ago, feel no heartbeat I can feel it climbing up inside, the heat [Verse 2: Tom Niland] Standardised buildings rising left and right Everything's run down, multi-story spite Broken lights flickering into the black Youth growing up have a painful backpack Filled with hopelessness instead of pens That you can drink to lose sense They have given up before they started Because the system made them feel disregarded [Bridge: Edvinas Stonis] Welcome to leningrad, oh my god, I'm sorry for you being in a flawed City that has no future, no hope The richer ones are the ones selling dope [Verse 3: Tom Niland] Thats what they told me when I first arrived Now Im sitting here, being sleep deprived Alcohol got my pain revived Lost, hopeless, don't wanna be alive [Outro: Edvinas Stonis] Saves nuodijimas yra budas pasprukti daugeliai zmoniu, bet ar tai nesukelia daugiau skausmo pabaigoje?

[Chorus] Rise up, to the sky Let it shine, make it mine (Rise up, to the sky) (Let it shine, make it mine) [Verse] Everywhere I go, I been high, high Leaving my mouth so dry, dry Not normal, lost sight, sight This imagination you can't buy, buy Got so much water in my eye, eye Feel like this is my goodbye, bye Wish I could fly, fly Wish I could fly now, woah Woah [Chorus] Rise up, to the sky Let it shine, make it mine (Rise up, to the sky) (Let it shine, make it mine) [Outro] Oh my god, leave me alone now Let me be, just let me zone out

[Chorus] I've been feeling so lost Trapped in the frost Drowning it out 'till everything turns loud So lost Trapped in the frost Drowning it out 'till everything turns loud [Verse 1] Been in the corner store at 3am Tryna make it 'till the end Stay out 'till the colors blend Doing it every weekend Stargazing while I'm Drugged out of my mind Feeling free all of the time Drinking shit that makes blind Walking home at 5am Seeing the sunrise Trying to avoid them Summer nights, time flies Spending all my money on drugs and alcohol Promise I am fine, no need to call [Chorus] I've been feeling so lost Trapped in the frost Drowning it out 'till everything turns loud So lost Trapped in the frost Drowning it out 'till everything turns loud [Verse 2] Smoking the best haze Reminiscing over the good days There's no way back now Late night walks through the city Everybody seeming gritty Liquor in the bag Stolen, fuck the price tag Poppin' the pills that we don't know Seeing corners of the city that didnt grow Taking lines in the bus Laying on the rooftop Running away, can't get us Won't ever stop [Chorus] I've been feeling so lost Trapped in the frost Drowning it out 'till everything turns loud So lost Trapped in the frost Drowning it out 'till everything turns loud

[Verse 1] Walking through the dirty streets Feel like the pain is trying to be A bigger part of me than I want to be Taking up my soul, piece by piece Trying to drown it out with the poison Makes me emotionless, makes me so frozen Drank too much, feel it coming up Lost control but can't backup Flashing lights moving by my eyes Can't tell whats real, seeing thousand skies Liquor is a pain in a help's disguise But you just can't stop until the cries come Need to go back to safety But until then the agony is daily Lost in the thoughts that chase me I forget everything, I'm going crazy [Chorus: Tom Niland] I got no one to blame for my mistakes Except for myself, except for myself Have to live with the things I did Have to live with the memories I can't get rid off, rid off Rid off, rid off Rid off Memories I can't get rid off [Verse 2: Nuna Macuna] Dreams ask more of me Only at 3:30 Catch me in the morning With my soul just mourning Wonder what they think of it Theres parts where I wanna quit Do you wanna quit, quit I cared what you thought of me Now you have the thought of me Pray someone's blessing me But I guess its me Hide in your days now Wonder what you'll say now I won't stop I got out your box So I watch the days go Where did all the days go The pages spread out Now just have me stressed out You won't see me cry in the rain And theres no one to blame, yeah No one to blame, ah [Verse 3: Nuna Macuna] Tell me what you think I've been through Tell me what you think these roads do Tell me is it something you save? Is it something, something for another day? She says she feels no pain Hide under a sheet of cocaine And you can't see me cry in the rain I guess theres no one to blame No one to watch the days go Where did all the days go The pages spread out Now you have me stressed out You won't see me cry in the rain theres no one to blame, yeah No one to blame, ah [Chorus: Tom Niland] I got no one to blame for my mistakes Except for myself, except for myself Have to live with the things I did Have to live with the memories I can't get rid off, rid off Rid off, rid off Rid off Memories I can't get rid off [Bridge] Rid off Memories I can't get rid off Rid off, rid oh-oh-off [Outro: Edvinas Stonis] Einant i nezinomybe gali sukelti nelaime arba laime, bet tai priklauso nuo tavo praites arba veiksmu.

[Intro: Edvinas Stonis] Tavo praities veiksmai visalaik tave prisivys, tad buk pasiruoses buti nubaustas. [Pre-Verse: Tom Niland] This is the final step, this is the ending I'll run now, hide from everything This is the final step, this is the ending I'll run now, hide from everything [Verse 1: Tom Niland] Since months I've been chased by the lights I can't anymore, need to get out their sight What have I done wrong, was no Israelite Tried to lift it all up to unknown heights Venato is here, I can feel his heavy breath Came here to get me and put me to death Blindless follower, seems like he's on meth If he gets me, will there be a new Seth? [Chorus: Felix Red] Mama raised a soldier, I'm a fucking supernova Mama raised a soldier, I'm a fucking supernova Mama raised a soldier, I'm a fucking supernova Full disclosure on the soda, now in russia safe and sheltered [Verse 2: Tom Niland] Am I soldier or am I a sinner? All I know is I for sure am not a winner Need to sprint to get to the inner Don't wanna be the devil's last dinner [Verse 3: Felix Red] Mama raised a soldier, I'm a fucking supernova Can't see what, can't hold, ourselves gather what's told Never been a suitcase away from gold, parabolic maze in a trisworded brain Upon your shoulder cup runneth over, Venato the old one, don't strip me from heaven Only just sipped the nectar, daisies won't push a feather So merciful, I'll remember the wonder, wash me in thunder, how sheep herd the runner and gone Ah, lights are off the shore Thought I shoulda told ya, I'm a fucking supernova [Verse 4: Tom Niland] Catching up on the devil's mean fraud What I felt was an act of god Was actually mephisto making me so flawed so now I know, it's time to applaud [Verse 5: Tom Niland] He got me cornered I'll be slaughtered Don't wanna go back to hell, I've seen the horror [Chorus: Felix Red] Mama raised a soldier, I'm a fucking supernova Mama raised a soldier, I'm a fucking supernova [Verse 6: Tom Niland] Don't wanna go back there I see him approaching Don't wanna go back to where I was just floating Don't wanna go back there I see him approaching Don't wanna go back to where I was just floating [Outro: Tom Niland] He got me now driving in a van Down to hell with other tortured men I lost the fight I gave my best at All my tried to escape have been falling flat There's no reason now to continue To just cause more and more issues Locked in the chains of my own sins Gonna go and meet the guy who pulled all the strings
13.
[Verse 1] Need to get rid of my despise Too late for that, seen my last sunrise Wish I knew why I get penalized Theres gotta be stuff I didnt realize Gates open up below me Allow me to see stuff that's for free Only gotta pay with your innocence But thats easy, everybody seems to sin This is the end of my story Looking back, it wasn't filled with glory Hoped it was worth it, but that didn't come true So I'm speaking my last words to you I'm riding off into the abyss Feel like Arthur, on his last trip Last thing I'll hear is the snake's hiss That will kick me off the life's ship [Bridge(Sample)] The many miles we walked The many things we learned The building of a shrine Only just to burn [Verse 2] Flying up into the sky, I lost All of my hope tonight Hope for an good ending Hope for everything to turn out right So this is the ending The last breath I will take Already know that there'll be No one at my wake So goodbye [Outro(Sample)] Shine light into darkness Shine light into darkness (shine light) Shine light into darkness (shine light, shine, shine light) Shine light into darkness (shine light, shine, shine light) Shine light into darkness
