Lyrics

16

Written by Einar Solberg & Raphael Weinroth-Browne // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

Crackling from the fireplace
Abstract flashbacks appearing
Resisting the familiar patterns

A construct of my own making
My hands are shaking
By the thought of facing it again

I lean back and apply what I've learned
To stop the process from starting all over
again

It seems it works
It fades away
I resume my duties

It took me sixteen years to realise
That I was meant to walk through winter
nights
Despite all indications

It took me sixteen years to realise
That I was meant to walk through winter
nights
When doubt appeared in my mind

It took me sixteen years to realise
That I was meant to walk through winter
nights
But daylight tends to appear again

In control with diligence
My mind is a cloudy place
In which I need to be aware
Of what lies hidden beneath
Lavers of realities
I made in a different life
I thought I had buried deeper

Remember Me

Written by Einar Solberg // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

Remember me
I'm the guy you sought out
Remember me
When you're finding someone to blame

Remember me
I'm the war within your head
Remember me
When you're helpless and out of breath

The memory
Blood still lingers on my tongue
The memory
Of all the words I never sang

The chemistry
Of my brain was altered
I stare into
A false horizon

Remember me
I remember
I remember the affliction

Falling out of reality
I'm crawling out of the pit

November breeze
Removes my armour
The vague disease
Will soon corrupt my mind

Remember me
When you're all out of love
Remember me
When you force your head above the water

Remember me
When you know that you're to blame
Remember me
While you decay

I'm forsaken
In a void of apprehension
I'm forsaken
In a pit of desperation

Falling out of reality
I'm crawling out of the pit

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE

Written by Einar Solberg // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

A beautiful life begins tonight, tonight
I'm walking towards a distant light
Benighted no more
A deceiving mind may go to rest, to rest
Numerous times I've failed the test, the test

All these seasons I have wasted keeping it alive
Alive

And all competing
All misleading
Thoughts arise
All the healing
Still revealing what's yet to demise
All competing
The Misleading
Thoughts arise
All the healing
Still revealing what's yet to demise

A beautiful life begins tonight, tonight
I'm leaving the past behind in spite of my impulses
A beautiful light shines bright tonight, tonight
A sustainable future is in sight, in sight
A beautiful life begins tonight, tonight
Always forever by my side, my side

All these seasons I have wasted keeping it alive
Alive

All competing
All misleading
All competing
All misleading
Thoughts arise
All the healing
Still revealing what's yet to demise

All competing
All Misleading
Thoughts arise
All the healing
Still revealing what's yet to demise

Where All The Twigs Broke (feat. Star of Ash)

Written by Einar Solberg & Heidi Solberg Tveitan // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

All that remains is a cocktail of sentiments
Cannot explain if it's guilt or relief
It's all bygone now, did we stretch ourselves
far enough?

I have no clue, no overview
No clarity
I have no clue, no overview
Polarity

Through fire I've been watching you
A desire to hide the truth
Holding on to ignorance
A marathon of indifference

I believe there's a cure
Where or when I'm not sure
Now it all feels obscure

Drowning in vein
Hard to maintain my sanity

Yet to rest in the steps where all the twigs
broke
Towards new mountains and hope

Where you lead, we followed
Into lost terrain
and familiar places
sun or rain

Through fire I've been watching you
A desire to hide the truth
When the rays of the sun
Lit up your face
There was no ignorance
No indifference

Metacognitive

Written by Einar Solberg & Raphael Weinroth-Browne // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

Get me out of here

I've been closing this door
A million times before
I believe in a distant shore

Get me out of here

Metacognitive chain
Breaking down again
Will I even see daylight today

Get me out of here

Renovating the same
Room all over again
I'm leaving this prison of blame

Get me out of here

I believe in a distant shore

Home (feat. Ben Levin)

Written by Einar Solberg & Ben Levin // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo
I inhale all the vapour
Memorised all the papers
Thought that I would be nervous
But I rise from the surface

Dressed up for the occasion
Could be my foundation
From the first note I knew it
I just have to pursue it

Found a path to believe in
Never thought I’d achieve it
Has been growing inside me
My own star to guide me

Coming home
In my zone

I find it hard to believe
That I live in a world
Where my future is sealed

I find it hard to believe
That my story is written
There's more to reveal
I just have to pursue it

I broke
Fell down the slope
Cracked and the yoke
Congealed in my throat
I was sure of what I wanted till I wanted something more
And the moment that I got it I perverted the story

Self told
Genius unfold
Ceaseless and bold
'Till I saw the scene
Then I ran for the road
And I loved to dream
But the cash that you hold
Erodes in the cache of bodies and bones
8 hours on my phone
As soon as we arrive
On the verge of falling over
The hill I'm rolling
The lives I'm polling
Don't add up to the moment
I found my soul stolen
By the art and the love
Made my parents proud
My enemies bow
My pain turn to howls
On the clock
Next stop getting off
And the portal we jump
Ain't a line or spot
Ain't a circle or a dot
Just a crack in the window
I was staring through in college

Coming home
In my zone

I find it hard to believe
That I live in a world
Where my future is sealed

I find it hard to believe
That my story is written
There's more to reveal

Blue Light (feat. Asger Mygind)

Written by Einar Solberg & Asger Mygind // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

I can't really focus on this pain right now
My schedule is booked and I'm away
I'm climbing on top of my fragile house
Built of impatience and dismay

I'm not here to face these worries now
with just enough patience I'lI revive
Some might even say that I'm the lucky one
In search for everything
Still I believe in nothing

I will see it through
Down the avenue
Of denial

My mind is piling up
Drinking from the cup
Of impulsivity

Shades in the water
Disrupting the order
Crossing the border in vain
Boy dressed in blue light
The final rest for your sight
Fall with the landslide again

I'lI figure it out without addressing it
Don't wanna focus on the past
I can't deny this pain any longer
The bubble is bursting, and I'm free

It's coming back to me
Where I used to be
It's over

Falling on my knees
There's no security
It's over

I will see it through
Down the avenue

My mind is piling up
Drinking from the cup
Shades in the water

I will see it through
Down the avenue

My mind is piling up
Drinking from the cup
Of Impulsivity

GROTTO (FEAT. MAGNUS BØRMARK)

Written by Einar Solberg & Magnus Børmark // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

Just found out how
I can hide from the unknown
A cave not far from my home
To feel safe from harm
A community of passion
Away from home

Until this point
I could never look of ahead
But now I’ll never go back again
Away from home
I’ll never go back again

Retract
Forget
I fly away from home

Within these walls
A new direction is calling
Where I can roam
And forget that I’m falling

I kept it hidden in a shelf
I put it under my bed
I couldn’t force myself to leave
With all the shackles on my feet

It came to visit in a dream
However foolish it may seem
I need to hide

I walk alone
Never coming back to where I was stranded
I can’t really fight this fight
All by myself

I could never see where my life was heading
I’ll open my mind, I leave it behind for good now

I lost my way
Never coming back to where I was stranded
I can’t really fight this fight
All by myself
I could never see where my life was heading
I’ll open my mind, I leave it behind for good now

Splitting The Soul (feat. Ihsahn)

Written by Einar Solberg & Ihsahn // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

Off track, I have to reach them
Fall back, I'lI let them know then
Erase, what we had built together
Embrace, all of the guilt I've triggered

Retract, I can't remember
Flashbacks, did I surrender?

I hardly feel at all when I revive
All of the chaos that I left behind

Alone, it must be their fault
The unknown, trapped in my own vault
Forget, intoxication again
Cold sweat, capitulation from reality
Call back, I'll make them tremble
Lost track, I'II disassemble what's left

Tick tock the clock is ticking
Tick tock my soul is splitting

OVER THE TOP

Written by Einar Solberg // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

Over the top
I live my life in shame
Unable to stop
I cannot reconnect to the train

Over the top
I waste my life away
Trying to stop
The fear of turning grey

Over the top
I cannot see the truth

Over the top
I waste my life away
Over the top
I cannot see and conquer my flame

Unable to stop
I feel the world moving
Away from the top
It’s just a role that I portray

Fall back, holy water cannot save you from yourself
Retract and recline to acknowledgement
Of what you know
Where you grow

I’m over the top
I waste my life away
Over the top
I exaggerate, saturate, eradicate my fairytale

Over the top
I live my life in shame
Over the top
To feel alive
I cannot stop
To forge my path in vain
Over the top

To harvest a crop
Where all the seeds were dead

Over the top
I cannot see where I belong
Unable stop
I’ve lost my inner compass long ago

Over the top
To cover up
The unease
To release
My emotions

The Glass Is Empty (feat. Tóti Guðnason)

Written by Einar Solberg & Tóti Guðnason // Produced by Einar Solberg & David Castillo

They're all gone
Only me and you now
It's nearly dawn
1 ask myself, how?

Disintegration
of a unity
Justification
All lead by guilt

It's all gloomy now
The remains
of a life

The glass is empty
I drink from it nonetheless

I cannot follow where you might descend
To stay alive
It all crumbles in the end

The box is empty
I open it nonetheless
The fear of leaving keeps me here

I cannot follow where you might descend
To stay alive
It all crumbles in the end

Walking alone
Too late to atone
Falling away from us

Efforts are made
Trying to aid
Is it too late now?

Are you too proud to reach out for a
helping hand?
Too much resistance will leave you blind

I cannot follow where you might descend
To stay alive
It all crumbles in the end

The glass is empty
I drink from it nonetheless

Is this loyalty
Or is it fear

I cannot follow where you might descend
To stay alive
It all crumbles in the end

Losing touch
Fading out
Withering
Pain
Falling on your knees
To leave this world

The war within you never ends
Hence you blame it on everyone else
[take a step back
You move forward
I can't stay here anymore
I have to leave
I have to leave
I have to go
I've never ever in my whole life seen
anyone going this low
How can we help you when you're not
letting us go

The room is shrinking
You keep on drinking

I have to leave
I have to leave
I have to go
I've never seen anyone going this low

I lock the door
Can't win this war
I leave this prison of guilt
Tearing down what we built
