Decision 04:27
Just wondered if I Could choose how to die I'd probably die like a hero There'd be no fear or pain When I'd show them the way That'd be raising all hopes in our minds Just thought about me As a musical tree I'd be changing lives just by singing I'd like to be stoned When I write a new song And to die with some tears in my eyes While half of my time went away I'm still counting my mistakes To throw away my grief I better decide how to live Still wondered if I Could choose how to die It would probably be on a mountain The air is so clean And the grass so green But a man from the top thinks of jumping Last night I had this crazy dream What been built was destroyed as is nothing I stood on the floor And I opened the dour For god's angels to lend me some wings While half of my time went away I'm still counting my mistakes To throw away my grief I better decide how to live I better decide how to live

Making love Without knowing it's meaning Drinking wine Without even feeling the taste Running so fast Running so far Learning how to live Crying so loud Without knowing what pain is Fighting for something That I am too young to understand Looking forward Without any plan Learning how to live Oh god would you let me know Oh God would you let me know Let's be wrong Let's be strong Let us break our fears to pieces And you know We can't fall Cause I have you You have me We are We are Working so hard Without earning enough money Showing all you've got To the 3 people that came to enjoy Can you be honest Or keep a promise Learning how to live Telling the truth When you know it may kill you Trying to save thousands of lives That you will never know Fear is coming Standing or dying Learning how to live Oh god can we trust what we see Oh god would you help us to be Let's be wrong Let's be strong Let us break our fears to pieces And you know We can't fall Cause I have you You have me We are We are

Searching 03:59
One thousand miles out of here Someone thinks about me And one thousand miles out of here Someone cares She is just like me So dreamy So tactless in her way I wish she could be here To drag away my deepest fears One thousand miles out of here Someone is singing for me And one thousand miles out of here Someone cries I don’t know where I don’t know how But I'll be there I'll break this endless wall That makes us feel so much alone One thousand days have passed And Still I am driven by my dreams I feel so tired So week After I went though all these things But you tried so hard and did the same So we're together from the middle of this way And for the first time in my life I just have nothing more to say

Not Myself 03:32
I can’t explain why I feel so nervous But there's no place for me to hide The kind of man that tends to be the strongest Yet praying for solutions deep inside I'm not myself around you You're bringing in new colors To my gray life I'm just a man, I can't deny my feelings Cause you are special So simply you Once I realized you were on my side I blessed the moment I said I would be there But I went wrong and turned my back on you You'll be OK and I'll be too I'm not myself around you You're bringing in new colors To my gray life I'm just a man, I can't deny my feelings Cause you are special I want you back

Animal 04:04
So far from home two eyes mean hunger One chest means drum beating to live I'm moving on to light some fire While some one else talks about some peace Through thorns and rain I'm moving quickly The smell of blood has risen again This world is great and I can see that clearly Under the sky of fear and pain I stands I fall Love stands I fall Spring appears with all its splendor Cherry flowers are your lips Before I left we stood together Swimming in some lazy dreams I stand I fall Love stands I fall And I will stand

Won't Last 03:15
Pillows flying on the walls It’s a war between two worlds I don’t want to play with your heart Broken mirrors waves of tears Curled up inside my fears I don’t want to play with your heart Cause I'll bring you a rose In the streets of bells and green lights We'll fall on the grass Still I know that it won't last too long Why should I believe in feelings, when they're not tangible When you try to fight for someone it seems not reachable When promises were made like no problems were to solve Appreciation is truly a bigger word than love Just want you to know I am no more than a regular boy I have a small car and a small house Where I keep the small dreams that I am living for Beyond the dark You better find the one Hold you in his arms You'll call my name Moving slightly on your way To close my eyes But in fact, I cannot see through you Why should I believe in feelings, when they're not tangible When you try to fight for someone it seems not reachable When promises were made like no problems were to solve Appreciation is truly a bigger word than love I am bad at explanations I am bad with dramatic tensions You can't sense what I'm feeling We are bad at every thing And finally I understand Life pictures should be out the frame If we learn from our mistakes We won't sing this song again

When your life is getting dirty There is no room for you to rest Empty wallet, hungry stomach Feels like a survival test You could lie in bed and cry But you smoke and fly You could run away and hide But you stand and smile Cause you still got the blues You're a student, maybe a good person Your grades are okay But all the bitches they don’t like you Cause they think that you're gay You just got fired from your job No friends to cover your ass You take a shit in the middle of a crossroad Where there's is no one to clean the mess And you still got the blues And you still got the blues Desperation, discrimination Oh baby I need a vacation To get some isolation in my life There is no frustration no limitation We can control our destination Cause we are the groovy people in our minds Cause we still got the blues Cause we still got the blues

Nightlife 03:44
You stay awake at night You To settle the things you just woke up for Walking through the crowd like You're the only man on earth Dressed like a rock star And smiling like a king On your left there is a girl In your right hand there is a drink With the rhythm beat You are swaying with the motions You punch a man's face Because he triggered an emotion When the people you call friends Have your back You’re the killer, you’re the victim You're the freedom and the wrack But at the end you're so cold But at the end You may listen to some people But you know what's best for you People come and people come and go And go and All affected by their moods There is no time for being lonely There is no time to feel upset There is a nightlife Never stopping All the things you want to get But at the end you're so cold But at the end You wake up in the morning There is no one else around Start to think about your dreams And all the time you've left behind You are giong through a nightmare But there is none to feel you're bed You're just left with your emotions And three dollars in your hand And then again you're so cold You're so cold

Some people live their lives In search for meaning Some people try to gain control There is a type who try's to climb all mountains And I ask What drives you to do so Some people make it through the stormy oceans Some people give their lives to save the world There is a type who’ll sing to you with strong emotions And I ask, What drives you to do so The stars are close The storm won't make a noise When you love someone You won't let life pass away And Time can freeze Every second you breathe When you love someone You can turn life insane I never had so many ways to follow No passion drives me to discover mysteries How can I feel a bit less hollow Teach me how Teach me I have to say that you've made it clear You freed my mind revealing all I want to feel This is weird We're still here Are you real The stars are close… Tears can not stop without an understanding The night will freeze you till the sun comes out So many people wait for a happy ending They are looking for the light While at least we are given a chance to try

Outside 05:21
As a child I sat alone while playing I had a small brown lion friend And always tried to reach an understanding Will it always be the same The years have passed and I became surrounded By many faces faking love And through their smiles I could only imagine Emotions hidden deep inside How long Can I hold this heart When it cries in my arms The storm May never let me in An Old book opens your imagination The streets are teaching you of life Religion tries to give the answer to your questions When sometimes You even don’t know who you are How long Can I hold this heart When it cries in my arms The storm May never let me in People are always waiting for something People are always afraid of something People will always live for something but themselves How long And we are all just blood and soul
