Lyrics
Hunter
[Verse] Blood on my hands, I walk alone Through shattered bones and broken stone I smell the fear behind your breath Your silence screams – I bring the death [Pre-Chorus] I've seen the lies beneath your skin The war you lost, I'll never win But I don't need a crown to reign I am the shadow in the flame [Chorus] I’m the hunter – no god, no savior Cold as steel with no regret I’m the answer – your twisted prayer I bring the pain you won’t forget I’m the hunter… And I’m not done yet [Verse 2] Ashes fall where angels bled A thousand ghosts trapped in my head You lit the fire – I fed the storm Now watch me rise in perfect form [Pre-Chorus] No chains can bind what’s born to fight I stalk the dark, I own the night You had your time, your rules are dust Now feel the wrath of the unjust [Chorus] I’m the hunter – no god, no savior Cold as steel with no regret I’m the answer – your twisted prayer I bring the pain you won’t forget I’m the hunter… And I’m not done yet [Bridge] Run if you want But I smell the blood Truth in my scope Drowns out the flood Every scream – a step I take Every lie – a soul I break [Breakdown] HUNTED… But I became the HUNTER BURNED… Now I burn like thunder CHAINED… 'Til I learned to sever PRAY… But I’m coming forever [Chorus] I’m the hunter – no god, no savior Cold as steel with no regret I’m the answer – your twisted prayer I bring the pain you won’t forget I’m the hunter… And I never miss
Something More
[Verse] You believe in destiny Your path's the one you think you chose You say you've found the only key Your righteousness is self-imposed [Verse 2] I do not care if you want to die I do not care if you want to burn I do not care if you want to fry Your dying will be my return [Chorus] I believe There's something more Something more than we can see I believe There's something more Something more than you and me [Verse 3] You close your eyes and see the light You've fooled yourself with foolish pride You find it comforting and warm I cannot wait to see you die [Verse 4] You do not care about what is real You do not care about what is true You do not care about how I feel I'll find my comfort far from you [Chorus] I believe There's something more Something more than we can see I believe There's something more Something more than you and me
Paradox Protocol
[Verse] I whisper just to feel the noise Bite my tongue to prove a point I chase the calm but crave the storm Hold my breath to feel reborn Built a throne from broken glass Loved too much, it couldn’t last I build the walls, then beg to leave I beg for truth, then don’t believe [Pre-Chorus] Every word a contradiction Every step a twisted fiction I’m the question and reply A paradox in real time [Chorus] I’m the fire that drowns The echo that won't fade A peaceful heart that breaks in rage I’m hollow but I feel too much Built to fracture, built to touch This contradiction keeps me whole I’m chaos chasing self-control [Verse 2] I found myself in someone else But I erased them to stay real I scream for change But fight to stay Comfort kills and I obey Drinking hope with rusted hands I don’t forgive, I understand I light the match to find my way Then curse the fire every day [Bridge] If I’m both the wound and healer If I’m both the truth and lie Can I still be something clearer Or am I just reason in disguise? [Breakdown] Tear it down Build it wrong Love it hard Leave it gone What I hate is what I need What I lose is what I bleed [Chorus] I’m the fire that drowns The echo that won't fade A peaceful heart that breaks in rage I’m hollow but I feel too much Built to fracture, built to touch This contradiction keeps me whole I’m chaos chasing self-control
Return to Tranquility
[Verse] Inhale the silence, it cuts like a blade A moment of peace, but it feels so staged The calm before storms is a well-worn lie I smile while the lightning splits the sky [Pre-Chorus] They say there's peace in letting go But I only feel the undertow [Chorus] Tranquility — it screams behind my eyes A quiet war beneath the lullabies I'm drowning in this perfect scene A stillborn dream That’s tearing at the seams [Verse 2] Footsteps echo in an empty hall My shadow dances on the crumbling wall I built a home out of fragile light Now every breath feels like a fight [Pre-Chorus] Still they whisper, "just be still" But silence bends beneath my will [Chorus] Tranquility — it screams behind my eyes A quiet war beneath the lullabies I'm drowning in this perfect scene A stillborn dream That’s tearing at the seams [Bridge] No gods, no grace, no remedy Just echoes of who I used to be This calm is just a masquerade A tombstone carved from my own name [Breakdown] RIP the peace they sold to me Crushed beneath false serenity I’ll burn this stillness to the ground Let chaos be the only sound [Final Chorus] Tranquility — you never set me free A poisoned kiss, a hollow symphony I’m breaking through your soft deceit No more retreat I am the storm beneath your feet
Let's Take It Slow
[Verse] Hold my hand and let me go Take my head off the guillotine slow There are some things you just can't know How did I get here Where will I go [Chorus] Let's take it slow Let's take it slow Let's take it slow Let's take it slow [Verse 2] I was thinking What if we're dead This is heaven or hell Or I'm in your bed Woke up But I'm still in my head Then I woke up again And now I'm on meds [Chorus] Let's take it slow Let's take it slow Let's take it slow Let's take it slow [Verse 3] I've been dreaming It's all a lie Just like this life That I thought was mine I was a speck of dust That learned how to fly I was the ocean That became the sky [Chorus] Let's take it slow Let's take it slow Let's take it slow Let's take it slow
Shattered Clockwork
[Verse] Tick tock the gears don’t align Rusty teeth they grind in time Metal groans a fractured scream Broken cogs in a shattered dream [Chorus] Clockwork rage it burns so slow Seven steps where chaos flows Twist the hands and break the chain Time's a beast we can't contain [Verse 2] Steel fists pound the brittle frame A world of tension set aflame Jagged edges cut the air Spinning wheels that do not care [Bridge] Bent and twisted under strain Harmony lost in the pain Seven beats of heavy might Drag the hours into night [Chorus] Clockwork rage it burns so slow Seven steps where chaos flows Twist the hands and break the chain Time's a beast we can't contain [Outro] Sparks ignite the hollow shell A ticking pulse that feels like hell Seven beats and then it dies The clock unwinds as silence cries
