Striven (feat. Marko Saaresto)

Like a flickering light

Guiding through a dark room

Like a terminal mind

Set off forever more hopeful

This vision dances in my head

And I toy with the notion

Of walking into the fire

To revel in my emotion

There's no telling what lies ahead

I've bid farewell to my shadow friends

For something else that's worth more in the end

There's a difference between the buried and the planted

Candles and all prayers for those left stranded

No matter the cost, despite the worst odds

There is a distance I must go

This moment is all that I control

And all that I control is here and now

Soul searching

Reaching deep within me

Solely relying on the wings of fate to carry me

With my head in my hands

My soul remains unawakened

And cut out the noise

And set your mind in motion

There's a difference between the buried and the planted

Candles and all prayers for those left stranded

No matter the cost, despite the worst odds

There is a distance I must go

This moment is all that I control

And all that I control is here and now

Clearing the day

Rearranging, shaping everything

I found the way

For the self to resonate

With the clarity of an open sky

Navigating now by the stars aligned

With serenity, steely-eyed, fueled by the burning lust for life

There's a difference between the buried and the planted

Candles and all prayers for those left stranded

No matter the cost, despite the worst odds

There is a distance I must go

This moment is all that I control

And all that I control is here and now

There is no telling what lies ahead

Some things I just can't pretend

I've bid farewell to my shadow friends

For something else worth more in the end
