Beneath The Surface 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Beneath The Surface The siren’s call never meant anything to me The golden lights may shine but I don’t care to see It’s a lie The promise of redemption at your feet Will sink its teeth and bleed you dry again I live beneath the surface Under the radar is where I find myself Far from all the static I feed upon what’s mine to keep And won’t let is slip away I’m happy that you think I’m not the chosen one Keep overlooking me until I’m dead and gone It’s a trap The emptiness we’re not supposed to feel Will swallow every shred of innocence I live beneath the surface Under the radar is where I find myself Far from all the static I feed upon what’s mine to keep And won’t let is slip away Guess I’d rather stay away Just to keep the wolves at bay Far from all the static I feed upon what’s mine to keep And won’t let it slip away Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond

Ammunition 04:04
lyrics

Ammunition All the wars that I have waged Fell apart at the seams But the hope for absolution is buried in the past ‘Cause I can breathe it in the air Way above the whispers It’s the time of the season again To aim high, cut deep, and run fast Until I get somewhere Brave new world My ammunition is still the same I’m not apologizing Anymore My ammunition My ammunition Every line across my face Has been carved in too deep I went around the sun and back too many times before As I’m yearning deep within For a new beginning It’s the time of the season again To aim high, cut deep, and run fast Until I get somewhere Brave new world My ammunition is still the same I’m not apologizing Anymore My ammunition My ammunition As I roam through the inside I swear I’m never gonna stop ‘til I get to the core Never gonna stop ‘cause it’s not like before I’ll just aim high, cut deep, and run fast Until I get somewhere Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond

Someday 03:45
lyrics

Someday Someday I’ll get out there Shed all this skin before the light fades Someday I’ll embrace desire I feel lost on the verge of insanity Wearing a mask I pretend to believe Someday I’ll dare to be myself again And taste the way it’s meant to be Someday I’ll break the mold and run away And face the void that burns inside of me Someday I’ll take wide steps Out of the shadows I slipped under Someday I’ll reclaim my pride I feel trapped in the grip of absurdity Trying to kneel now I just wanna scream Someday I’ll dare to be myself again And taste the way it’s meant to be Someday I’ll break the mold and run away And face the void that burns inside of me I feel lost on the verge of insanity Wearing a mask I no longer believe Music: Gustavo Drummond & Leonardo Marques Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond

Say The Word 04:30
lyrics

Say The Word Say the word C’mon and say the word I’m taking off the ground Into a wave of sound It’s in my head C’mon and take me there My time’s running out I’m starting over now Look at them rushing in a daze I’m heading back home Too many hopes are led astray Running in circles All on the inside Are the lights we long to see We’re the same and everyone here needs Something to believe Say the word C’mon and say the word I’m taking off the ground Into a wave of sound It’s in my head C’mon and take me there My time’s running out I’m starting over now You give an inch they take a mile Hungry for control One more addiction to keep the blind Chained to the surface All on the inside Are the answers that we seek We’re the same and everyone here knows it’s bigger than you and me Don’t let the sunshine slip away so patiently The wheels are in motion In the corner of your mind I want to be Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond

Disappear 03:25
lyrics

Disappear I took a deep breath and face the highway Under a sky of hope As all the bridges collapse in silence This emptiness feels like home Hey can you take me for a ride Far away from here I wanna step into the light And disappear And disappear Safety was bordering on disaster I see no pot of gold Why should I sit through the same old patterns While answers remain unknown Hey can you take me for a ride Far away from here I wanna step into the light And disappear And disappear The candle’s burning as I go faster ‘Cause sometimes it’s not enough To know dishonesty at first sight and Just swallow the lies I’m told Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond

Far Beyond Control 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Far Beyond Control Upon the edge of the world I’ve waited To kill the echoes of misbelief Safe from the sound of a thousand voices Swaying wherever the wind blows My home is right in between horizons Over the sky and across the sea Unopened treasures and buried secrets Keep it above common ground When tomorrow comes my way I’ll embrace the end of time And bow to the unknown Until I hit the ground you’ll see Some of us are out of reach And far beyond control The pull of gravity keeps me on track I feel the dirt underneath my feet Too many questions are never answered I stack them up high as I grow old And if it only appears to make sense Inside the borders of mystery I’ll be around to escape the rapture And keep it above common ground When tomorrow comes my way I’ll embrace the end of time And bow to the unknown Until I hit the ground you’ll see Some of us are out of reach And far beyond control Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond

The Enemy 04:06
lyrics
buy track
The Enemy I feel alive When I’m searching for the answers Somewhere inside Though I might just never reach them Don’t wanna hide From the truth of my own footsteps I’m asking why Even if it leads to nowhere Just take upon yourself To see it for yourself And realize I’m not the enemy And realize I’m not the enemy They push the mind ‘Til it clashes with the senses Feed us with lies And the threat of burning flames Open your eyes Bluest skies are never silent All by design To keep us in control and severed Just take upon yourself To see it for yourself And realize I’m not the enemy And realize I’m not the enemy Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond

Embrace 04:58

Embrace I've been so alone In search of a home I wanna lay down in your arms ‘Til the end now I tried to be strong But the world's come undone I wanna lay down in your arms ‘Til the end now I know this There’s still a place that I can go to start it over So would you open up the door and let me in ‘Cause I have sinned Here I am Lost underneath my own wreckage Show me a sign and I’ll come around to embrace you once again I've shed all my tears And cowered in fear I wanna lay down in your arms ‘Til the end now ‘Cause some things don’t change You're the blood in my veins I wanna lay down in your arms ‘Til the end now I know this All of the time wasted away has made me wake up This could be more than just a fading memory A destiny Here I am Lost underneath my own wreckage Show me a sign and I’ll come around to embrace you once again Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond Embrace If you’re all alone In search of a home I’m here to hold you in my arms ‘Til the end now You got to be strong But if the world comes undone I’m here to hold you in my arms ‘Til the end now Know this There still a place where you can go to start it over I’ll keep the door wide open just to let you in If you have sinned Here I am If you’re ever lost somewhere out there Show me a sign and I’ll come around to embrace you once again If you shed a tear Or cower in fear I’m here to hold you in my arms ‘Til the end now Some things don’t change Like the blood in our veins I’m here to hold you in my arms ‘Til the end now Know this There’s not a step than you can take that makes me give up I’ll stand beside you even as a memory My destiny Here I am If you’re ever lost somewhere out there Show me a sign and I’ll come around to embrace you once again Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond

Modern Slavery 04:45

Modern Slavery Look around It’s orchestrated to keep us deep underground Comfortable and empty as we justify The sweet desires forged to make us toe the line We just want to play the game now Hold your breath and say no more Make your way back out the door How could you ever try to set us free From what you see as misery We’re happy to be in chains Waste no time This is forever we’re ready to sacrifice Our illusions parallel a state of mind We don’t care to think it through a different light Someone else can take the wheel now Hold your breath and say no more Make your way back out the door How could you ever try to set us free From what you see as misery Take it back your cause is lost No regrets we’ll pay the cost You know we share a common destiny To live in modern slavery We’re happy to be in chains Hold your breath and say no more Make your way back out the door How could you ever try to set us free From what you see as misery Take it back your cause is lost No regrets we’ll pay the cost You know we share a common destiny To live in modern slavery We’re happy to be in chains Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond

My Old Yesterdays 04:28

My Old Yesterdays I’ve drifted through the years Between places unclear Been around here for a while Something has changed This ever-spinning wheel Would tread upon what felt real Been around here for a while Something has changed Blame my tongue For the words that I have said I’d rest my bones In your arms so unafraid Shine a new tomorrow Over my old yesterdays I’ve seen it all before The stranded boats on the shore Been around here for a while Something has changed It’s staring back at me Suspending my disbelief Been around here for a while Something has changed Hold me close There’s no time to hesitate I’d share my soul ‘Till the colors fade to grey Shine a new tomorrow Over my old yesterdays Music & Lyrics: Gustavo Drummond
