1.	1. Painting Colours on the Characters (Loop) 05:11	lyrics	buy track
The colours of the characters beheld by tainted eyes Determining forced action, despite the silent cries Shades are cast on the unsuspecting victim Paths are lost, now neglected The unyielding shame in that all are to blame Forget your name behind the title you’ve accepted Painting colours on the characters Adorned in vivid fractures The limits forced on wanderers halt growth and all we’d find Unbound to freely delve into the wonders of the mind Shades are cast, complicit and restricted Uniform reflected Conditional tone painted in youth Lasting when grown, denied such rich truth Painting colours on the characters Adorned in vivid fractures Painting colours on the characters Manufactured actors Painting colours on the characters Adorned in vivid fractures Painting colours on the characters Well-guarded and held captive Painting colours on the characters Manufactured actors Painting colours on the characters Adorned in vivid fractures
2.	2. All These Good Times (Loop) 04:53	lyrics	buy track
All these good times In a waking dream All these good times Stitching broken seams All these good times Have stirred up my senses All these good times Bring down my defences And guide me through the dark I revel in memories held deep in my heart All these good times Sooth my troubled mind All these good times Solve riddles I find All these good times Spent with rich hearts and brave souls All these good times Mending tears and filling holes In the rumbling air Keep me alive when I’m deep in despair
3.	3. Flickering in the Reflection (Loop) 05:07	lyrics	buy track
I don’t wish to hide a single thing from you I am surrounded while I sing my truth Love is like lightning, waiting for the thunder Counting seconds in between. Its getting closer This merry band is a brimming well A wealth of love no hate could quell Quickly I dismiss this disfiguring pretension And replace it with a face I found Flickering in the reflection I’d never dare to venture any lie around here There is no reason when I’m seeing so clear Deception is redundant when love does strike When all the dust settles we find we are all alike This merry band has nothing to sell And where the limit of their love lies no one can tell Slowly I become unashamed and non-judgemental Erasing all traces of faces of hate I’m flickering in the reflection
4.	4. Stand Against The Wind (Loop) 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Grounded and deep rooted Forgetting youth Still resistant, the wind persistent Writhing around, bound by the roots Stand against the wind with everything to lose The ground below, a stable home The open air alluring The gentle breeze Builds at my heels Bearing shackles to bind the tendrils I twist around, tearing the roots Stand against the wind with everything to lose The ground below a stable home The fleeting fury charms me Waving freely, reaching Tasting foreign air Persistent limbs seek risk and whim Twisting around, tearing the roots Stand against the wind, or ramble steadily The ground below, a limit known The fleeting fury charms me Tearing the roots
