What happened to my sight? I woke up with no light! Standing in an unknown place Everything has been erased... In my hand I hold a knife, Straight away my afterlife Itself, seems the only way to live again! I'm holding the key to escape the maze, But the door is in a blaze. I am trapped by my duality, Drowned in mediocrity, My fate is derisory! I’ve been in there for too damn long Where do I belong? I'm questioning myself Might this answer be somewhere else?! Everything is collapsed, darkness is close I can see nothing but a blank rainbow Did someone turn off the light? I discern nothing anyway There is no cure that I can find I’m colorblind Dizziness, some kind Everything is twisted I do believe That all that stuff Will never goes out my stricken mind!

Restless search into my kind Something changed now but I'm still confined Jailed and sealed tight by the crowd But endless seclusion still smash' me far louder I'm broke by the fright Time has come to start to sleep and think Am I right I don’t believe? But I think I should try to drown and sink I won’t I’m so naive! Should I start to think that to think while thinking Isn’t quite a good idea But being free, being me, you see That it’s the way I’m really going in! It’s time to heal once and for all! ‘Cause I’ll find a cure (but) Everything is collapsed, darkness is close I can see nothing but a blank rainbow Did someone turn off the light? I discern nothing anyway There is no cure that I can find I’m colorblind When I am looking back, through my window I can see nothing but a blank rainbow Despite all these shades of grey I discern nothing anyway There is no cure that I can find I’m colorblind July, gone by, now tell me why! I'm having all these doubts right now "Someday, someway" It's a sin to lie! So keep your shits away from me and DIE!

Putting all the stuff behind I’m going to proclaim back what’s mine I swear, I swear... It’s time to change And stop acting strange I want the truth Giving up my youth... There’s no going back, There’s no going back! (Change!) Undergoing Now I’m moving I’m tired to be stepped on, Now I’m gone... Undertaking Fine but bleeding Now I’m only worse Than what I was! Right now I’m so desperate, This situation is going to stay Maybe it’s a thing to accept I know the pain isn’t going away!

Everything (everything), Is moving so damn far I cannot see, cannot see How the things really are If anything (anything), Was being colorblind not a bad thing (a bad thing) That I can leave behind... And after this silence Things repeat with violence But now I move on For a new dawn And it’s been a moment I felt too important Whereas I know how The things are now But now I move on For a new dawn !

about

It was thought as a 20 minutes song. Back when I composed it (early 2013), I had only eyes for bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Muse etc. You can find these influences in my album, as well as (I hope) my own personality.
I did the whole score, recording, MIDI composition, mixing and lyrics in my bedroom. Basically, if you want to enter the mind of my teenage years, you have everything you need in this album made of sweat and passion.
