I Crawl 06:33
I CRAWL Scratching to the surface of the mess That I am in today I’m so afraid there is no way That I could step onto and go away So many times I drowned in lies So many times been pushing you away Running never looking back I don’t know why I never wanted you to stay But I’m not coming back Not today I’m not going back I better stay away I saw this truth in front of me But somehow turned and looked the other way It made me think I’m so afraid Afraid of everything I have to say And I’m not coming back Not today I’m not going back I better stay away Searching for a reason I slipped And then I lost my fate I saw this truth in front of me But somehow turned and looked the other way So many times I drowned in lies So many times been pushing you away Running never looking back I don’t know why I never wanted you to stay But I’m not coming back Not today I’m not going back I better stay away

The Girl 05:07
THE GIRL She’s the girl everyone adores She wears those pretty things that make the heads turn But she’d go down the streets and sit alone at dawn ‘Cause she knows no one sees She’s not made of stone And she cries ‘cause she’s alone No one looks into her soul No one wants to see her heart She doesn’t need for this to go on She doesn’t want to fall apart She’s surprised she made it this far Last time he saw her walking out the door He thought oh well he doesn’t need her anymore ‘Cause everyone is on to her So he envies that she’s adored But this is not what she wants It’s is not what she wants This is not what she lives for It’s not what she gives for It’s not what she’d love for It’s not what she’d die for And she left without a word And she went into the storm From now on she’s on her own No one looked into her heart She didn’t want to fall apart She just wanted to be loved She’s surprised she made it this far

Autumn Haze 06:53
AUTUMN HAZE Feels like autumn And my life is empty I don’t regret Nothing’s to be changed ‘Cause I don’t want to feel this loneliness Once again I’m in this strange love and waiting Only the rain knows How many times I had to shed my skin To make you stay No matter how I tried you left and I have died No matter what I said you just knew it wasn’t true Off you took with everything you could I’m here with only pain inside I’m all the same And the wind still blows into my face I wish I could escape to other time To other place I’m broken like a dusty glass but free of you at last I’m on my winding road Back home Don’t stand there don’t burn me with your look Out of everything you took guess what hurts most You should know There’s no appeal for love with rules No cure to heal those inner wounds No way to stop the one-way train It feels like autumn’s here again If your soul’s so pure If your mind’s so clear Then why why are you So fucked up my dear

And It Feels 03:25
AND IT FEELS And it feels like my senses have left me once again Today it’s calm and yesterday was hate Winter and dark days they’re coming in And summer’s far away it’s too long to wait And it feels like my senses Have left me once again Once again
5.
COLD EYES AND LIES My girl she’s so far away today But I don’t have wings to fly to her and say That she is the one she is the one And I am once again in this Strange love and waiting and everything No I’m not waiting anymore I’m not singing anymore I’ll be heading for a shore Away from here We’re cold but still searching for a key Too late there is someone else at the fire Dreams they don’t give you what you need They only give what you desire No I’m not waiting anymore I’m not singing anymore I’ll be heading for a shore Away from here ‘Cause there’s so much I have felt But only waiting I’ve been kept Pieces of my lonely life Are shattered like your window’s glass It’s so cold outside We all try to hide There’s no one aside Only cold eyes and lies Only cold eyes and lies
6.
Blossom 05:32
BLOSSOM As we're crawling in the dark And fantasize about Something that’s too big for us to realize To us we’re bigger than we seem We try to understand We try to comprehend But we just won’t believe We always think more than we realise With oh so good disguise We function like a no good machine We destroy and we act surprised Everyone is dirty But so we never wash away Growing like a cancer Like impenetrable stain Justice is short When there’s no place for a shame There is no place for a shame We’re stuck in this game forever For eternity yeah-yeah-yeah We're stuck in this mess forever It’s our lives it’s not a cash It’s our fate we’re playing with Please tell me we’re not gonna crash Don’t tell me we already did Don't spoil yourself With nothing ever to fear Do you hear me Do you hear me Do you hear me
7.
WORLD MADE OF NOTHING Oh I guess you know We’re so incomplete We’re high on a bough Swinging our feet There’s a saw in our hand And we’re playing with it We just don’t understand We’ll fall if we cut too deep Don’t be afraid You’re not the only one Who lost his way in this World made of nothing Too many mistakes Do you know what it takes To be strong and brave Someone you don’t hate But I’m alive I wish I was alive I need our love to shine So I know where I’m going Don’t be afraid You’re not the only one I thought I had it all worked In this world made of nothing It’s coming slow I’m gonna lose my soul Because I know our face There’s no god in this place No cure

Shy 05:28
S H Y She wears a distance in her eyes She always takes you by surprise You fell into her dark blue eyes But her soul is a tangled web of lies Her head is full of hairy tales As beautiful as fairytales She tells you once and you believe You’re such a fool if you think she will leave She won’t she won’t she won’t She'll catch those butterflies inside your chest She'll eat them up without pepper or salt Then look at you like she needs some rest Make you believe it’s all your fault Her head is full of hairy tales As beautiful as fairytales She tells you once and you believe You’re such a fool if you think she will leave She won’t she won’t You feel you're on your last lap The day this thing becomes a trap She'll say that she will love you all But she will only play your soul She's inside of you all the time She's a mountain too tall to climb And she’s a river too deep to cross this time You want to give yourself a perfect gift But it's too heavy a weight to lift She showed that a thousand times You have no choice but to believe You think this is real But this is not real
9.
PERHAPS SOMEDAY And we’re down to this once again, once again I seize to exist any time or day like today Sometimes it feels, like I’ve become someone I used to hate Standing aside and going blind seems like the only way I don’t want to be in this low and cheatful game Give me one good point to even want to wanna stay If only I knew what’s true I would rebuild myself so new I would be proud I would be strong And never had things to go wrong On a cloudy day sun seems so far away Counting loud the things I should’ve done or should’ve said Sitting in dark, imagining where I should be now Any strange (god damned) place seems better than where I am now If only I knew what’s true I would rebuild myself so new I would be proud I would be strong And never had things to go wrong There’s so much I’ve broken down There’s so much I’ve wasted away So what if I have won this fight Nothing’s earned to this day And to this very day I don’t know if I should go or stay Perhaps someday I’ll hear the truth in the words you say Maybe not today, maybe not today, oh well

Aura 06:59
AURA You’re burning like a forest fire I can see through clouds it’s gonna rain I saw you walk in without a tire Your aura soaked in pain Standing tall, ready to fall into oblivion God can’t you see her pain? Can’t you feel? God, can’t you heal her pain? She’s standing tall, but tired of all, waiting, striving for oblivion

JUST LIKE BEFORE I see a train passing by And I ask myself what if I Wasn’t afraid, afraid to try To take a ride Into unknown on my own Away I go, away I go Into unknown on my own Away I go just like before I feel so much more Today I’m so much more Now I’m prepared, made up my mind I’m gonna go on this train tonight Those empty years I spent in vain I won’t repeat them, never again Into unknown on my own Away I go, away I go Into unknown on my own Away I go just like before I feel so much more Today I’m so much more Come take a ride along with me Let’s go and be where we want to be There’s no tomorrow and no past Today we’re free, we’re free at last Into unknown on our own Away we go just like before I feel so much more Today I’m so much more

CHASING SHADOWS AGAIN I thought that it's easy to walk away I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding I thought without wound there's no pain I'm ok I'm ok I'm breathing I'm breathing what's left of air I'm floating so high if I move I'll fall and break I've got no reason but only treason I can't be decent I've got no reason today To wake up my heart, to open my soul I thought I had a purpose lying ahead But now it seems the purpose is the thing that I'd left We used to be oh so naive We used to see it ahead of time But now What can you see? What can you see now? We're chasing shadows Chasing shadows again On a lost highway without an end I thought I had a purpose lying ahead But now it seems the purpose is the thing that I'd left I used to live without remorse I used to navigate without course I thought I'd really find someone But seems that someone had slammed the door

WHEN SHE CLOSED HER EYES (THE WORLD DISAPPEARED) When she closed her eyes It seemed the Moon seized to shine The world turned on its side And started its slow decline And the stars, they saw And laughed so hard They’re too far away They are just too far We don’t live as long As we’d like to live To show our children love And how the world should be I’ll be leaving soon Haven’t left a thing That could heal the world That would change something And the stars they see They laugh so hard They’re too far away They are just too far And the heaven knows Its anger grows You won’t see its tears When it disappears Heaven knows I’ve tried
