Drifting 03:14
Drifting I see blue, green, I'm ready. I close my eyes, I am only dust, I Set my course towards the sky, I'm leaving the ground, Sorrow, my only guide. Close my eyes, I am only dust, Set my course, dreams never die. I seek nothing, My skin, Only a seeming. Take my hand and see it's there. I am only dust. I see blue, green, are you ready?

Lights Off 02:55
Lights Off Turn off the lights in my room, I don't need to, no. I put the mask on, I don't need it, no. I turn around and feel the back of their hands, I don't trust them, no. I'm in a car that drives itself, Yeah, who's behind the wheel? I close my eyes so I can't see them, I don't want to know, Tell me lies, I don't need to know, I jump down, I can feel the wind, Only when I fall, I broke my bone and hadn't known, Yeah who did this to me? I run away and leave it all behind. Nobody dares to collect all of my broken bones (x3) Nobody cares to collect all of the broken bones.

The City Sleeps I bought a clock, still, Time's running so fast, Bus ride is late, I'm in a hurry to nowhere, Or maybe can't I wait any longer, For you to come by, And maybe am I hoping this old clock would fall and break down. I could stop the timeline right, At this moment, When birds are still quiet, And maybe can't I wait any longer, For you to come by, And maybe am I hoping this old clock would fall and break down. Tonight we can sing while the city sleeps, (waiting for you to come by) Let the day break allow us all hopes. (On the day break).

Retrace 04:52
Retrace Another sunny afternoon, Let's take a walk in the woods, Whatever, It's going to end to soon. Another rainy morning, Turn the radio on, swing, swing, and pretend, It's ever lasting And pretend, It's ever lasting. You know I want you to, You know I need you to, Come and lay in the grass, Like we're not supposed to. See the stars are up in the sky, If I try to retrace, I can't see the look on your face, I can't see the look on your face, And it makes me want to cry. You know I want you to, You know I need you to, Come and lay in the grass, Like we're not supposed to. (x3) Not supposed to fall.

Silence 04:57
Silence All I want is to cover my eyes, All I want is to close the curtain, I'm standing up on the tip of my toes, Don't want the world to see my burden. (Cover my eyes) And if you leave like that, (What if you leave like that?) I'll blame it on the silence you kept. (Cover my eyes) And if you leave like that, I'll blame it on the silence you kept. Oh why don't you hop in my shoes? Tell me when you'd say, I walked long enough, I'm no fool. See for yourself, there is more than meets the eye. Oh can you stop pretending, You know well the biggest rocks have been trembling, They tremble. (Cover my eyes) (Cover my eyes) And if you leave like that, (What if you leave like that?) I'll blame it on the silence you kept. (Cover my eyes) And if you leave like that, I'll blame it on the silence you kept. (Cover my eyes)

Bullet Sky 03:32
Bullet Sky Can hear the cars passing me by, Feel the dust is flying around me, All around, Waking up. Waking up, I'm running away from my troubled mind, Waking up, And I'm running away until I can't feel, Waking up, And I'm running away, I've been blind, Waking up, And I'm running away until my legs become numb. (Waking up) I can feel my feet are leaving the ground. Can you see me running away? 'Cause I'm never coming back. (My feet are leaving the ground) Can you see me? I can feel my feet are leaving the ground. Can you see me running away? 'Cause I'm never coming back. (My feet are leaving the ground)

Lay Down 02:13
Lay Down I know some things never change, I noticed things getting strange, And I have a confused mind, Solace is nowhere to be found. Lay down, I want to hide away, Wake up slowly, Like we used to be. Lay down, I want to hide away, Wake up happy, Like we used to be.
