Conscious, Conscientious

Track 1: “Colors Crashing”

(Everything is about to change for Deon, Lammy, and their dear companions. But though darkness lurks, hope is not lost...)

LYRICS:

I see you in the wind

I hear you in the colors

Colors crashing, calling me to come alive

Falling into a new era, but I’m human just the same

Doubts and victories too tangible to turn and tuck away

Am I to blame

For this impending rain?

In my head, you’re by my side

So just convince my eyes

Can we run forever

Share tears and tremors

To chase embracing life?

I see you in the wind

I hear you in the colors

Colors crashing, calling me to come alive

Salvation in the sky

I hear you in the colors

Colors crashing, calling me to come alive

Fade out, nobody asked for it, but we get it anyway

Is there meaning in loss?

Cuz I’m at a loss for words when I feel your pain

No time for blame

Just help me pass through this storm

Hope’s the timbre of your voice

And purpose is a choice

Higher than these towers

In darkest hours

Come meet me in the clouds

I see you in the wind

I hear you in the colors

Colors crashing, calling me to come alive

Salvation in the sky

I hear you in the colors

Colors crashing, calling me to come alive

I can still believe

If you meet me where I am

I’ll find your peace

If you meet me where

I see you in the wind

I hear you in the colors

Colors crashing, calling me to come alive

Salvation in the sky

I hear you in the colors

Colors crashing, calling me to come alive

Track 2: “Deon”

(The character theme for our hotheaded, passionate protagonist)

LYRICS:

When I woke up I was in dullness

Were all these dreams just visions I made up, or promises?

Spinning it always comes back around

To the part where I move forward while my love is backing out

So I break down these walls

Why does change come at the cost of abandoning all? No

Expressionless all the while

But with time I can tell you’re trying to hold back a smile, oh

Can I find my place in this essence all around us?

(Holding on to this single moment)

(Never quit and I’ll never change my mind)

When you meet my gaze, and my feet can’t feel the ground, guess

(Piecing back all these shreds)

It’s safe to say

I’m not going anywhere

I’m sure you’ll find I’ve got a way of never backing down even when I probably should

And I probably should

So if you’re in, it’s a perfect mix, we can

Tear it down

(Look at us, what a beautiful balance to)

Tear it down

I think we’re ready for this

My fears face up in the fog looking like yours

And no one seems to know if it’s the future or a metaphor

But maybe that’s the trick

To overcoming it

Cuz you keep swirling through my mind, but I don’t mind it

Can I find my place in this essence all around us?

(Holding on to this single moment)

(Never quit and I’ll never change my mind)

When you meet my gaze, and my feet can’t feel the ground, guess

(Piecing back all these shreds)

It’s safe to say

We’re all alone

And I’m running on adrenaline, yeah

I’m running on

So just let me know

When you need me to cave it in

With all this love and this rage in the same place

They try to touch you, I don’t know when to stop

With all this love and this rage in the same place

They try to touch you, I don’t know when to stop

(Stop now)

Square up all you cowards

(Back out)

Who’s the tough one, now?

(Shut up)

Eat your hate, all you cowards

(Back out)

Exit stage, count them out

Can I find my place in this essence all around us?

To say

When you meet my gaze, and my feet can’t feel the ground, guess

It’s safe to say you’re safe with me

Track 3: “Lammy”

(The character theme for our other protagonist, the timid yet courageous Lammy)

LYRICS:

Your universe changed all at once

And now I know you hate surprises

Can't say I blame you

When the life you had

Was the warmth of sun

But now it's freezing cold out here

Everyone around says we're the hope

But the way you sigh says you deny it

You don't know who you are

But now it's shifting into the ambition you sought

Cuz you are not what you thought

Open up and find it

The heart you hold is quiet

But it's the reason we survive our fears

The reason I'm still standing here

Your bravery is endless

But when it leaves you breathless

Just rest

And wait

And I'll say

It's all

Okay

Heavy eyes, unsteady

I thought I should push you away

I thought I should hide all my pain

So I could save you from me

I know you're still afraid

But you spoke up anyway

And now we're floating from the fear and loathing we fought

Because you are not what you thought

And my friend, months have passed us and still I forget you're so young

Though you're small and soft-spoken, well, you leave a grand impression

Now it's shifting into the ambition you sought and

And we're floating from the fear and loathing we fought it's

A mess but a blessing with lessons it taught

And I'm still grateful whether we make it or not

Just remember in shadows when you're feeling caught, that

You are not what you thought

I won’t forget

I won’t forget you

Open up and find it

The heart you hold is quiet

But it's the reason we survive our fears

The reason I'm still standing here

Your bravery is endless

But when it leaves you breathless

Just rest

And wait

And I'll say

It's all

Okay

(I won’t forget you)

Track 4: “Dream World”

(An exploration into Zayza and Skrili’s dark pasts and regrets, how they’ve come back to haunt them, and what they must do now to overcome them)

LYRICS:

Enter

Waning while I watch my memories fading

Washed out, extra black in the shading

Gonna need a mirror if we're gonna be blaming

Gonna need a sword for the peace they're proclaiming

Wait

Could've sworn I was the good guy

Mug shot, make sure you get my good side

I'm not a threat, just saying that you could die

One look, six words: hope you have a good night

No one I know knows me, and that's okay

Maybe it's not, hey, tell me if I scare you

I'm gonna sail this sea till I drown out

You wanna meet me here, then I dare you

Please

I don't wanna be alone

If I'm the target I might cast the first stone

And crawl away slow while they fight for the throne

If I created this, it's time I atone, but

Colors crash and cast a different light

Open up, the heartbeat's deep inside

It's a dream, but I know I'm alive

It's a dream, but it's where the secret hides

Who I am is not who I thought

Tried to keep you safe, overshot

Everything we feared is just what we got

And all this time we bought, will it get us home?

I just wanna make you smile, no strings attached

Kick the monsters out, while I close the hatch

Dragon swing down quick, got a ride to catch

If I remember how to hope, will it get us home?

It's a trick, they're right behind us, the truth will find us, it'll snag and gag and bind us

Remind us how to live in a fire

I'm a killer, they thought I was a crumbling crier

Pull me by the collar and tug me higher

I lost all the facts but I'm not a liar

Wonder what they fear, maybe I'll inquire

Nightmare: watch them expire

Can't wake up, we're stuck here, so fight back, the memory attack and fresh tears

I'm right here. They wanted me to feel it, well I'm right here

This is what they asked for, so I'm right here

Oh God, blood on my hands

They're not prepared for who I really am, oh God

Who will understand? Oh God, this is my burden

I am the light and darkness, oh God!

Hiding heart and closing eyes

Will I fall away?

Will I fall away?

Hiding heart and closing eyes

Will I fall away?

Will I fall away?

Flying shards through redding skies

I will end your pain

I will end your pain

I’ll end your pain

Open your eyes
