Prelude

by Artisan

/
1.
Casted Stones (free) 01:51
I've cast my stones, I've made my peace. My heart's set sail, across the sea. There's nothing left here, So set me free. There is a change in the wind, From the shadow that I have cast. And where it lays behind me, Is where I will leave my past. And where these roads converge, And where these bridges stand, I will make my choice. I am my own Artisan.
2.
Tilting The Hourglass (free) 03:06
The cold breeze, this winter air. Punctured skin, chemical warfare. Like the needle, piercing your veins, You're only adding fuel to a dying flame. Left in ruins. Falling from the arms of grace. The innocence that left your eyes And the child that was locked up and buried inside. You quit building bridges and paving your path. An unfinished road, another a dead-end map. What happened to your dreams? What happened to who you wanted to grow up to be? Was it all lost? Buried in the sand? It was all cut short, where the road met its end. It was all too soon. When will you take control? Nothing has changed It still hasn't changed.
3.
Monologue (free) 02:39
I watched you turn your back on Everything you held dear To your heart, to your mind Just walk away, just disappear. Since my words to you are next to none. I will paint a picture that is worth a thousand And since my actions will speak louder than those words. I will take back what was mine before you try to turn and run. Cut our ties You were always holding me back But this time Along with the dust, I'm leaving you in the past. I am done with compassion. I am done with regret. You're the last thing that I need, But the first I must forget. This is all hopeless I'm talking to myself. A monologue, no exchanged words I'm giving up. Save your breath You've run out of time. I was never worth yours And you were never worth mine. I thought I knew you. No one will need to dig your grave. You're already lower than dirt anyway.
4.
Outrun The Storm (free) 03:31
So just turn your head And look away Numb the pain Like always Eye to eye Face to face You let your fears Reduce you to waste It is lurking In the mist, You know it well But you clench your fists. And bite your tongue At every chance No second thought No second guess I can see the cold from your shoulders. Sending chills, down your spine. You can wear a mask and pretend That you're leaving it all behind. You can try to hide And try to outrun the storm But when will you learn? That you can't run forever. Turn a blind eye. Is that who you are? Stand up, reclaim. Take back what's yours. Surround yourself within these walls And act like you can't be touched. A catalyst for your own shortcomings. And all you'll have to do is watch. You have always Tried to escape Will you make this change? Or will you stay the same? With every challenge Comes a question of integrity I stand by my morals, And I won't let my fears get the best of me. You can try to hide And try to outrun the storm (You have the strength. To break the chains.) But when will you learn? That you can't run forever. (You have the strength. To break the chains.) You have the strength, To break these chains.
5.
Reflect (free) 03:11
They say this generation Is indoctrinated in ignorance Blinded by their mislead views Of social acceptance I dwell within this crowd And I'm growing weary of their ways Placing weights on progress And slowing down the pace In a world Of progress Making strides But I digress We're losing speed We're out of time Momentum is not on our side Oh how prosperous we used to be We swam with the current, but drowned in the sea. Of our own gluttonous, self-centered ways You say you want change, but you're all the fucking same. You say you want to make a difference You say you to make a stand So don't wait for something To fall into the palm of your hand I refuse to live care free, Ignore all the wars waged I create ripples in these waters And that won't ever change.
