They say the hardest battle, is the battle within.
It’s better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.
Victory comes when looking into a mirror at your lowest low
and you are at peace with your reflection.
To see yourself as you really are is the hardest thing to do.
This is sisu.

Now I have given in
To the battle within
The lies that I despised
The truth that I denied
The love I never found
Is hidden underground
Oh my what have we done?
And what have I become?
A shadow, a remnant, a scar
Waged war upon the world
Waged a war within myself
I’m not shatterproof
I’m blood and bone
Now I have given in
To the battle within
And so here we are
Head to toe covered in our scars
All my running
My fighting
Took me down
No atonement and no hope
No one to keep my soul afloat
I close my eyes
And surrender borderlines
Now I have given in
To the battle within
The lies that I despised
The truth that I denied
The love I never found
Is buried underground
The person that I knew
A lifetime split in two
Tired of running
I can’t fight
Can’t catch my breath
Bring me the night
We are haunted
We are lost
Traumatised by the cost
A loveless child
A worthless life
I once believed in you
And me
The battle within
Now I give in

You never saw me there
Lived your life without care
Til it crumbled down
You were thrown around
They say the die is cast
You can’t outrun your past
Child is father to
The man you never knew
Unfinished boy
My life has just begun
Til you froze me out
And you cut me down
Unfinished boy
My abandoned son
I’m a victim of
Your savage love
You never took my hand
Didn’t try to understand
You never spoke to me
It was clear
You never wanted me
You saw me into this world
I needed to be held
Your selfish life
Your crippled heart
Abandoned me
Right from the start
Abandoned Me
Right from the start
Unfinished boy
And forgotten son
I’ll protect you from
What I’ve become
Unfinished boy
The life you’ve yet to live
Is not over yet
Will you walk with me?
All the times I needed you
The years I tried to get to you
You were waiting for someone
To break the fear
To be a son
And all the pain he put you through
And all the shame and scars in you
And all your loss can’t be undone
I’ll love you like
You are my son
I love you like
You are my son

When I saw you there
With your distant stare
Something in me knew
That I knew you
With your pale blue eyes
Your silent smile
I found love
I was undone
Come to me
Rest in me
And I know your name
And I know your shame
Your troubled soul
I’ll make you whole
And all the pain
That tore you apart
I’ll be the one
To heal your heart
And all the hunger you can’t feed
And all the air that you can’t breathe
I’m the one
I’ll be yours
Everything
I have is yours
I’ll be everything you need
I’ll be the air you breathe
So tell me
All your dreams
I’ll give you
Unconditional peace
In me
I’ll give you love
I’ll give you life
I’ll hold you
Deep into the night
I’ll never leave
I’ll never lie
I’ll be forever
By your side
Confide in me
Reside in me
You’re all I need
I’m all you need

Remember me
when you were crawling
I broke your fall
And stayed until morning
I carried you all night
On my own
Then life stole your trust
And now you’re gone
I was there when they pushed you down
I was there when you hit the ground
I protected you
I believed in you
Saw our lives torn apart
Saw inside your fragile heart
And in my arms
I kept you from harm
Oh my precious one
Where did we go wrong?
I kept your memory safe
I kept the wolves at bay
Shielded you from pain
Became your world again
I was your guiding light
By changing your life
And when the world’s against you
I thought you knew
I held you still & never let go of you
Remember me
When you were frozen?
You couldn’t feel
Your spirit was broken
You’re too weak for this world
I told you
And every time you tried
I showed you
Whenever you run
Whenever you hide
I’ll be standing
By your side
You’ll never know
How it feels
To be free
To be real
I kept you safe by
Keeping you small

I've been feeling like a ghost again
Disappearing in the mist again
I've been feeling like I'm fading fast
Disappearing like I'm fading fast
I've been feeling on the edge again
I'm on the outside looking in
I've been feeling on the edge again
I'm on the outside fading fast
I'm on the outside fading fast
I've been feeling like a ghost again
Disappearing in the mist again
I've been feeling like I'm fading fast
Disappearing like I'm fading fast
I've been feeling on the edge again
I'm on the outside looking in
I'm on the outside fading fast
I've been feeling on the edge again
I'm on the outside looking in
Fading fast
I've been feeling on the edge again
I've been feeling I'm a ghost again
I'm on the outside fading fast
I'm on the outside fading fast
I'm on the outside fading fast
Fading fast
Fading fast
I'm on the outside fading fast
I'm on the outside fading fast
Fading fast

I waged a war
To change my world
When nothing’s lost
Nothing is found
Who damaged who?
Where demons feed
And life turned against you
And we bled at the seams
Can you hear me now?
Can you feel me now?
Are we running still?
Are we frozen?
The ghosts in you
The war in me
The more we know
the less we see
I am not my
Sworn enemy
Blood in my name
Broken but free
The ghosts in you
The war in me
Shattered by lies
Broken but free
Are we running still?
Are we frozen still?
Are we fighting still?
Are we winning
The war in me

Splinters of me
Splinters of me
I lied my way
Out of my life
World weary eyes
Blind in your sights
Defence shutdown
Denied your love
I hid you well
And lost myself
I shot the film
Made every cut
It took me so
Far away from you
The more I see
The less I know
Wreckage of me
A way to cope
Designed my cage
I’m made of rope
Drawing my lines
Collide in me
I have become my
Adversary
Each day I live
Each day I die
Today I’m born
Today I’ll die
Splinters of me
The ghost in you
The more I see
The less I know
Don’t lead me further
Away from here
Just lead me nearer to
the heart of me
The more I see
The less I know
Jokainen kantaa sisällään Kaikkea.
Kun tunnet itsesi, sinut tunnetaan.
Kuten me, kintsugi-maljakko tulee kauniimmaksi
kun omaksumme sen historian, sen omituisuudet ja muutokset.
Kaikki nämä särkyneet palaset olen minä.
Kun hyväksyn ja yhdistän ne kullan kanssa.
Everyone carries within themselves the All.
When you know yourself, then you will be known.
Like us, the kintsugi vase becomes more beautiful when we embrace it’s history, its quirks and changes.
All these shattered pieces are me when I accept and fuse them with gold.

End of Suffering (Remix)

Relinquish now
Be steady now
Breathe in breathe out
Be here now
Stop holding on
We’re leaving now
Stand still stand down
You will be known
And every point
Draws into me
Within without
Be silent now
Breathe in breathe out
Stop holding on
When all is done
And drawn to one
When all is one
All is one
All is done
Stop holding on
And every point
Draws to me
Be ready now
Be here now
We’re leaving now
Breath in
The end of suffering

My broken soul
My only one
My only love
My shadow, my sun
My shedding skin
My life within
I’m realised
I’m crystalised
My shedding skin
My life within
I’m realised
I’m crystalised
In every world
You will be known
In every world
You will be known
My broken soul
My only one
My only love
My shadow, my sun
My shedding skin
My life within
I’m realised
I’m crystalised
In every world
You will be known
In every world
You will be known
In every world
You will be known
You will be known
And golden sewn
You will be known
And golden sewn
You will be known
And golden sewn
