It feels like greyscale reality
In this world we've built on our own
It's unclear to me
What we are still trying to be
If I could bring back the peace we had
Would the wars come with it too?
The black lines are holding me
The black lines are holding me
So let's stop living in black and white
One streak of color could change a life
We have the shades of blue in ltears
And hues of green for passing years
White lies put hatred in our heads
So we will show them love instead
We'll paint the whole world red
We'll paint the whole world red
I can feel time in my veins
Counting down my days
I won't paint them grey with pain
Let's paint our hearts red again
If we can settle the scores between
The good and evil sides
We'll take a step
One more deep breath
I can move past the fear of death
When nothing can hold me anymore
We can build a world of a billion shades
We can make a difference and chance our place
In the course of time in the cycle of our lives
We can paint the world with eyes open wide

A voice calls
A cry in the dark
Telling me to crawl into the light
But I won't
The show has just begun
I'm giving one last encore tonight
Five nights left to find you
One last thing to tend to
You'll fear what I can do
But you'll never run
Ghosts warn of my actions
But I'm the main attraction
You'll bring my satisfaction
Our little horror story's just begun
I believe
After this final stand
The end will come, but not until you're gone
I'm haunted
A killer in cage
Using my undoing as my pawn
These metal gears and parts
Contain my purple heart
They had their sweet revenge
And brought me to an end
Now I'm the monster here
I'll make you disappear
One last show to put on
After tonight you're gone

I've seen enough here, to feel I don't belong
My imagination, again has lead me on
This stubborn aching, has a mind of its own
I've left, but I won't tell you where I've gone
I've never known that, the world could be so mean
I'll never go back, to who I used to be
A steady runway, is all that I would need
To reason with myself behind the scenes
(Is it me)
Is it me, or can you see through my walls
As if they'd never shown?
(Could it be)
Could it be, all because of my lies
I've broken my own bones
(No more throwing stones)
I could have sworn I, I had a life before
My short attention, had wanted something more
I can't erase it, I know I won't forget
But at least I learned my lesson in the end
Oh, winter breezes, were never gone so fast
It's straight ahead now, and no more looking back
Like separation, letting go of the past
And trying to rebuild my house of glass

Where can I bury all of my suffering
Casualties of poison and pride
Where is the line between losing everything
And giving it all to say that you've tried
When I dared to dream of something greater
I flew away into the sky
Nothing's going to fill the space between you and I
And I felt the world grow so much colder
As we drifted away over time
Living in the past in our apocalypse state of mind
Where can I find some kind of a remedy
A cure for my pain, a rest for my eyes
Where can I pray, when nothing means anything
In some kind of cage no God could devise
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Honor to glory
And iron to rust
Hate to bloodshed
From rise to fall
If I never have to die
Am I alive at all?
Now can you hear the sounds of a melody
Playing a tune, to soften our hearts
We can move on past all of the memories
The lapses in faith, that time will impart
Take me to places beyond our biosphere
Into the unknown, where we could reside
Find me in winter when all the paths are clear
In cities of ash, we're healing in time

When the darkness closed in all around
It didn't bring us down
It only made stronger for those days
When they turned our dreams to distant thoughts
The embers still burned hot
And now the flames will blaze
So let them burn
They set the fire
Now we can see
How they conspire
But they've been shattered
Like broken glass
And now we're building better worlds
On the ashes of the past
When oppression came here from all sides
We didn't take their lies
We saw a revolution rising
When they asked us why we're not the same
We wouldn't play their game
We are the voices crying
But no the battle isn't won
The war has only just begun
And we'll keep fighting, keep building, a better place for us
And if they strike us down tonight
We'll sear the darkness with the light
It's revolution time, and you're on our side
So let them burn (So we'll let them)
They set the fire (burn tonight)
Now we can see (Watch the flames light)
How they conspire (Up the sky)
But they've been shattered (Shattered like a)
Like broken glass (Broken glass)
And now we're building better worlds
On the ashes of the past

One step at a time
I'm going outta my mind
I'm being hunted by something primal
They're just simple machines
Yet tainted souls they seem
For five nights I'll fear for my survival
Are they mechanical
They hunt like animals
Freezing for seconds while see their corpses
I'm getting panicked now
I'm locking this place down
I'm feeling watched by unnatural forces
Looks like I'd better run for my life
I'll never be in one piece to see night five
I've got eleven on my tail, with no time to think
Of a way to survive mechanical instinct
Just an hour more
I'm closer than before
To making it out of this ghastly madhouse
I'm feeling desperate
I'm starting to regret
Taking my chances with no way out
Who's walking down the hall?
I can't keep track of them all
A music box plays my dying song
This is my one escape
The mask still on my face
But they have known I've been here all along
Here, all alone in the darkness
Why, can't I escape there soulless
Eyes
It's a lost cause now, they've got my scent, and I can't get out.
Now, i'm afraid to look because
They, are just beasts to hunt me down
With no way fight back, the night is already over

I have seen the better days
But now they're far away
Lost beneath the sand
I have lost the ones I knew
And barely made it through
This broken, barren land
Breathing
I embrace the feeling
Of despair that keeps me
Standing on my own
I'm no hero
Starting back at zero
It's an unfair world so
To the wolves I'm thrown
To the wolves I'm thrown
I, the messenger of loss
Have traveled at a cost
To save their legacies
I, the stranger in the wind
A man of many sins
Alone with memories
Will we meet again
Somewhere at the end
Somewhere far beyond this place
It's a hopeless cause
But I'll fight the odds
For a chance to see your face

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find a way

It's been so long, I've been out of my body with you
I feel alone, feel at home, feel like nothing is true
You take me to a place where my senses gave-way,
Turn it round, shuttin' down, what the people say
Climbing up, coming down, gonna give you some,
Take my hand and let it come, let it come, let it
Take it back when she knows that your doing it right
Cause everybody else knows what their taking tonight
But I just wanna play it right,
We're gonna get there tonight
It's been so far I've been walking the line of my time
Wake me up to the stars we are coming home
I only had a chase but were out of time
We have sold in the cold, physical desires
Set me free, set me out on the run,
lift me up to the sun, to the sun, to the
When your burning down, when your burning down,
It's the way that you think that I know
It's too late
But I just want to play it right
We, were gonna get there tonight
I just want to take you down
We're gonna bring you round
But I just want to play it right
We, were gonna get there tonight

Aviators recommends:
A great EP by my good friend and frequent collaborator, Tarby. Distorted drum tracks that would make Trent Reznor cry, and driving guitars that are sure to blow minds.

A musical journey through time to the 80's where everything is neon and drenched in delicious synthwave goodness. An amazing album to play Hotline Miami to as well.

by Alex Roe
For good hunters and beasts alike, this haunting symphony of an album will definitely be a call to your wild side.

An eclectic mix of songs, but in a good way. Many songs are jaunty and catchy. To me they invoke a sense of adventure. Perfect for D&D night.
