Among vacuous tides I was beckoned Devoid of substance I arrive At an unfamiliar crossroad Ways that fade as waves of light Trace obscurity in my own soul Open wounds, dormant pain But it´s not the loss I mourn now Disavowing from a future left untold I find rejoice in silent memories and hopes To stitch the truth within me An empty well as deep as the seas Solace soaks the driest of hearts A wake up call sent straight from the grave With no intention to subside Colors fade as darkness sets in Watered down and pale as ever before Utilitarian love served its purpose Withered and scarred again I begin; I conceal a pit of bottomless guilt Channeled through the noose I left untold Blackened by the moonlit blight that once kindled the pain I feel inside May the needle carve my way into the mist As I drown through the abyss To stitch the truth within me An empty well as deep as the seas Solace soaks the driest of hearts A wake up call sent straight from the grave With no intention to subside Colors fade as darkness sets in Watered down and pale as ever before Utilitarian love served its purpose Withered and scarred again I begin To stitch the truth within me An empty well as deep as the seas Solace soaks the driest of hearts A wake up call sent straight from the grave With no intention to subside In my dreams, he who is said to be three Graces my sight Turns his head and says This is the life you´ve chosen This is the lie you´ve chosen

Harrowing uncertainty through Lenses and images I cast on thee For what life can be Life can be something different It´s a brand new day,and I'll rise anew To the challenge of surpassing everything Deceived by my senses I strafed astray Drifted further, further away Casting light to escape my memory And any unpleasant reality Outwit your conscience, self-murderer insider of coarse regret Your usual trademark of absence Hides a trail of unspoken dissent Tread lightly through the tracks once forsaken Rewrite what will come, what will be The revival of a broken skyline This slacklining fate… I’ll scape its methodical madness The hourglass ticking grain by grain and slowly draining my life away Is the fear that plagues our thoughts Like a poison that keeps you awake, undefiant Destroy all that makes you a slave to the tyrant that´s lurking… Lurking underneath your skin Discerning conscience from perspective A warm welcome into my mind Allow the present to lay the cards for you Abscond from the side you crave Outwit your conscience, self-murderer Insider of coarse regret Your usual trademark of absence Hides a trail of unspoken dissent Tread lightly through the tracks once forsaken Rewrite What will come, what will be the Revival of a broken skyline This slacklining fate… I’ll scape its methodical madness Be one with emotions and true needs

Hello, I come to you As a simple fella with evil to undo There is no right, there is no wrong There's only space for the people that belong Never let anyone tell you What you shouldn't let anyone say to you, but me Trust your attitude regardless of aptitude Even if all it does is lead you To a dead end Refuse to ever accept defeat Persevere even if it puts Your own integrity at risk Prayer for those gone astray Cannot believe we're left alone In the light of the day From coal into cold ember A dead gaze, a vacuous march The choice to surrender Duty keeps their hearts alive Need bolsters faith And I reap the excess Bliss for release No more, no less Good day, good night Blessed be the people that are with me Along for the ride Virtue, to tantalize Lay back and point your finger The righteous have been cauterized Never let anyone tell you What you shouldn't let anyone say to you, but me Trust your attitude regardless of aptitude Even if all it does is lead you To a dead end Refuse to ever accept defeat Persevere even if it puts Your own integrity at risk Prayer for those gone astray Cannot believe we're left alone In the light of the day From coal into cold ember A dead gaze, a vacuous march The choice to surrender Duty keeps their hearts alive Need bolsters faith And I reap the excess Bliss for release No more, no less

From blue to black and back to gray Only chimeras stand in your way From blue to black and back to gray A royal stain fit for a slave Cycle through cycle Falling behind Cycle through cycle Blizzard unwinds

In the wake an idea spurs from boredom Given time it's consumed my whole being Color the skies with the tools that I give you Mind you may Watch out for discrepancies It is time, to go back The ones who stood afore now stand behind Broken will, hologram Shaking their foundation till there's nothing left to cling on to Hope they are never able to stitch the truth Hook in mouth and heading south Your consciousness long left you All news are proof-less, tooth-less and truth-less Life is will, let it become what you need it to be It is time, to go back The ones who stood afore now stand behind Broken will, hologram Mother, father flushed down the drain Lacking their trust must fill you with pain Brother, sister, kept you constrained All of your worries wasted in vain We the collective existing as one Faceless chimeras won't leave till they're done Boredom and envy enslaving the weak Of blooddrunk dementia your majesty reeks Veil untied, bent resolve Through the struggles I foretold Words come out, like a brainless automaton It's meant to be, you learn from me Another day, another life is saved A parasite for the elder and A gateway for the young Feed my ego, and the wisdom shall come to you Hit those likes, enjoy your time and reward my laziness This life suits me like the perfect ring with diamonds Come on, it's show time Let’s give these freaks what they want Frost Make your way afar and bathe in my knowledge Timely you´ll be in far greater need As old superstitions fade into blackness Of matter and mind they will decay Candles dwindle, blow´em on your heyday to Kindle flames that glisten inside The cavern, the allegory Of implausible, laughable gazes and shades Veil untied, bent resolve Through the struggles I foretold

Neurotrip 03:49
Recall, speech word by word Drilling into your brain I walk, through barren halls Mirrors reflect the scourge Undaunted I bring thee The lost truth I dwell in One which no third eye can see Every need is another addiction The unnatural is the one true ambition All means become harder prescriptions And make up the world as ugly as it's vicious So, dehumanize when cruelty is the norm And power seeks power above all else Kickstart the fires of the hopeless And watch the world shine ablaze in its vanity Protect the rights of the hypocrites You'll see them fighting for the ashes Let's change the subject Let's talk about love What can we do to sust... Tainted hearts to the rescue Of an apparently selfless idea While the possession withholds a lost cause All in the name of fulfillment When it's the sense of belonging that withers Oh the oath has run its course Better safe than sorry No value in staying resilient A carnage awaits inside My demon is hungry and eats away No remorse, nor regret or will to be caged And suicidal in a rut of such predictable nature Our faiths come together in hatred The imminent cleanse is the only alternative Man is a wolf to man in the eye for eye We'll see how respectful they stand When we harness their thrones And cleanse the land they sit upon Fallen from grace they will crumble and wither Pay for the whole of their barbed wire mishaps Regrets deviate from ungratefulness But we don´t bite the hand, we´ll rip it off Kickstart the fires of the hopeless And watch the world shine ablaze in its vanity Protect the rights of the hypocrites You'll see them fighting for the ashes

Stuck in the dark side of a two way mirror White spots stain the bitter truth Rationalize your feelings, pull the virtue’s plug Or submit yourself to your self-made hare-braining drugs All news are proof-less, tooth-less and truth-less Constructs created by clueless depressors That indoctrinate the minds of the masses Our truth devoid of purpose and a reason To be, to live and believe the bullshit One last time, one last drop of the septic prejudice that´s burning inside Cause we're headed nowhere, and nothing we will find Through the fires of the nameless we become charcoal In our spirit, in our body, mind and soul Whilst those power hungry parasites, Seek out grander means to harness more All our deities are warmongers Stocking common people's faith We're nothing but sheep in their chessboard Ambition daydreams, colonial nightmares Industrialize. Dig up a golden ticket to your grave Develop at the cost of everyone Who is this for? Well we don't know And we don't care One bullet, just one less… To worry about when conflict is Of winners and losers, money talks And I’ll soon as hell shall kiss'em goodbye As I will myself in due time Lovingly drawn to deception Sentimental loss of perception The candlelights flickered that night, with the scent of suicide Through the fires of the nameless we become charcoal In our spirit, in our body, mind and soul Whilst those power hungry parasites, Seek out grander means to harness more All our deities are warmongers Stocking common people's faith We're nothing but sheep in their chessboard Go!

When kingdoms lay waste, drown you in despair Allow your heart to resist, and persevere Emotions flow, like rivers blue and grey The middle ground is freedom for the take And call upon forsaken skies as martyrs defiled We do not need no guidance A knee deep into self compliance Unleash your rage and savor it, turn it into something great Whatever feels anew is the only way to follow, Find your peace of mind in the light at the end of the tunnel Narrow paths are filled with tracks of souls that moved on from sorrow to ecstasy Wake up the stuttered voice of life That makes the darkness shine alight Don´t forget, you´re way better than just fine When the clock ticks, you´ve still got some time Wandering along the mist of all the lies and spiteful sins What gives, bitch? Resist through persistence A waste of a day is a waste of existence One journey to live, a long road ahead Make the most of it, it´s your duty Life is will, let it become what you need it to be For great moments are born from great opportunities Feed yourself with beliefs and memories Of better times to come, while the worst ones cease to be Learn to relish this finite rollercoaster Where every minute is the last want of your ride And let adrenaline create the vaccine to the unavoidable demise And feel welcome where the craziest thought is wise Follow your mind throw this narrow path we walk Open your eyes and everything will come it's certainly easier than you thought Go get your dreams they are waiting for you to Rise up and stand against those who question your capacities Self-doubting is not an option anymore Don't listen to me, listen to yourself A voice within will guide your thoughts and consciousness To enjoy the journey aplenty and live what it could be Wonders sprawl around you, euphoria elates within, It´s your destiny Pick up the pace, young mind and shine alight Your time on earth in one to fight And grow so reflect on The fears you must embrace alone Wandering along the mist of all the lies and spiteful sins What gives, bitch? Resist through persistence A waste of a day is a waste of existence One journey to live, a long road ahead Make the most of it, it´s your duty Life is will, let it become what you need it to be For great moments are born from great opportunities Feed yourself with beliefs and memories Of better times to come, while the worst ones cease to be Learn to relish this finite rollercoaster Where every minute is the last want of your ride Let adrenaline create the vaccine to the unavoidable demise And feel welcome… to your life Yet, when you´re down in luck With hardships taking over Find emotion amidst the notion of discovering

I thought I'd see it through The gray perpetual chasm When it's a call beyond that stirs The remnants of a life Imbued in my soul Smoke and mirrors, The dream now falls apart When the nightmare unveils Show’s what reality entails And hits twice as hard Devoid of substance I depart From a now familiar crossroad Ways don't fade, they come undone A tide of waking strides Beholds nothingness It is all I see When I close my eyes Consuming me Be it as it may, just to end There’s no one there There’s never been I stretched far out To search within Undoing my restraints To tie me back again Cycle through emotions Altered states in display Full disclosure, loss of Composure Underway Scan the horizon An intrinsic desire for more Yet the wind howls But it won't bring no response Set aside fear and faith Trip The wire Rip The net Moon- less night Blood flows not Grief- less cry Wake To die Poor excuses for sentient life Free-willed automatons with limited reach A gray void inside of us impossible to stitch Wait for the day it swallows us deep Crawl beyond the masses Transcending mortal ties Healing inflows Woven fictions Born From coal into cold ember A stagnant fatal tie Oh I feel now How my heart withers Beneath ice Time Goes by Sick In sight Mour- ing crave Feeds Off me Struck My vein Start again Cy- Clical Psy- Chotic Should’ve accepted my swollen pain I found out the hard way, a loss remains Among the hindered I built my reign Foundation of chemicals, take me away again! Oh I fear I can't begin to understand Just how I failed When disrupting all I’ve known The end entails From gray to blue, purple to black Picking deep within me Scorch beneath the skin By dents and marks, abide To find truth in the waking world

about

'Frosbite' tells the story of an individual that attempts to turn his life around in search for redemption after experiencing a terrible tragedy at a personal level. In doing so, our main character- as does the album itself- explores topics and questions like social interaction in the digital era, mass idolatry and the fact that nothing is just black or white.
