Almost Gone 03:01
Mom, we always told ourselves That living is an hell But being ourselves at all costs It’s the remedy against all odds So I’ll be myself and let you go I’ll let you go! Let you go! You’re one more reason to live I think I’ll meet you again One day I’ll be free from my anger. Gone! The rain has gone The road is wet (but) it’s time to go I’m happy now I miss you You’re far from home. I spent my lifetime doing things my own way Your love, was here for me anyway. Gone! The rain has gone The road is wet (but) it’s time to go I’m happy now I miss you You’re far from home. It’s all this love and tears That made me what I am I only hope one day I’ll be Worth your sacrifice.

Time, will turn to ashes our bones Unraveling what’s untold An end that has no meaning our memories will be gone There has to be one boat that sails beyond this ocean Keep fighting for all my precious things Hide them, (so that) nobody can reach none. I’m here to stand and protect them all Hide them They’re here for you my son. A piece from my soul A piece of my heart A piece of my bones For you to keep them all Thought that makes you smile A memory of mine A thing that makes you cry When you’ll remember me Keep fighting for all my precious things Hide them, (so that) nobody can reach none. I’m here to stand and protect them all Hide them They’re here for you my son. A piece of me will be inside you when I’m gone You need to know I loved you all Think about my existence put a smile over your face I’ll be your guide and lead your steps

Knives 04:56
I’m hiding my fears within a box And I hope that maybe My feelings now can’t be hurt Pleading an act of compassion Bleeding, anxious and fractured If only I could turn back time Back to my childhood days Everything ethereal And words could not touch me I’m gliding away from your disdain Through spears and knives My time has come to an end. Pleading an act of compassion Bleeding, anxious and fractured If only I could turn back time Back to my childhood days Everything ethereal And words could not touch me FEAR GRACE SORROW PEACE PAIN

Confined 03:22
A mass of flesh and bones (that’s what I am) And I can barely remember the sun on my skin Confined I live in the darkness My lungs are used to the stuffiness of my room The world collapsed and I just want to stay here No matter what’s outside I’d rather be buried alive. My home is enough for me I’m tired of your hypocrisy I take back what’s worth to me God knows I love my reality I don’t believe in your lies anymore And I don’t trust what I see My elegy of pain It’s like a mantra that left me out of tears The world collapsed and I just want to stay here No matter what’s outside I’d rather be buried alive. My home is enough for me I’m tired of your hypocrisy I take back what’s worth to me God knows I love my reality There’s no need to talk about my sanity that’s how I want to live So let me be.

Well as you needed me to be sweet I've been your mother And when I was asked to be a shield I've been your father Home's a warm place to return And be the caveman Fire is out, I'm cold to the bones Be my own savior Till you do, I won't let it go This kind of pitfall I'm lying in Till you do, it'll go on and on This plastic wisdom Inaction lives among The throat and the tongue Now I just want to be left alone And don't be bothered Stranger guy, totally unknown I would be honoured Home's a warm place to return Well, not for lovers Losing touch in falling in love Be my own stranger Till you do, I won't let it go The kindful pitfall I'm lying in Till you do, I'll go on and on With plastic wisdom Distraction warming bones Among eternal stones Throughout the body shakes Collapsing in the end

The Botch 03:05
I got a feeling when I looked in your eyes A premonition of what would have followed. One more beer, one more beer. I needed because I felt so hollow. You tried to warn me But I didn’t want to be bothered, It was just too late. As blood ran fast I grabbed your hand and took you away It was just when I kissed you (That) I felt something strange Pushing at my way Oh no no no!!!!! I know I have to act fast To end this terrible mess I’ll laugh about it.. maybe tomorrow Seeking for love you must dig Until you find something big Yeah, but that’s too much of it You tried to warn me But I didn’t want to be bothered Now it’s too late. As blood runs fast I wave my hand and say goodbye Goodbye! Goodbye! You tried to warn me But I didn’t want to be bothered It was just too late. This story tells, I’ll never grab your hand again You tried to warn me But I didn’t want to be bothered Now it’s too late. As blood ran fast I waved my hand to say good... bye!

Mean life, old girl Weird times we had to know Morning light bringing sorrow In the head there's no tomorrow Maybe this time I'm on a walk alone On a smooth street paved with gold, woman? Maybe this time no regrets at all Makes me high Mean times, old girl Weird life you had to know A new era We will write With daylight Maybe this time I'm on a walk alone On a smooth street paved with gold, woman? Maybe this time no regrets at all Let me find the flow Let me hide and show Hazy life made me high Anywhere it came from Mean life, old girl Weird times, I know We try to let it slide Let it come through

In Solitude 03:49
We’re all alone together in this place we call home A million shining stars to the eyes of a blind Awakened Breathless From the amniotic sea To the fact of being... Dead and Lonely And everyday seems like the day before Dead and Lonely But everyday seems like the day before In solitude we march Guided by our sun Water descend on us Free us from the chains of this poor life Dead and Lonely And everyday seems like the day before Dead and Lonely But everyday seems like the day before DEATH!!! DEATH!! When there’s nothing left to do When there’s nothing left to do... Death.. And everything seems like the day before.

We are used to live in a world where lies Are the shelter for the weakest minds Stay in your kingdom Grab tight your pillow Close the door and never look outside This isolation is like a scourge Every drop of blood you bleed Will teach you how to live When the world needs you to grow And you refuse the call It’s the necessary pain to which we are bound And you should know it Every drop of blood you bleed Will teach you how to live This isolation is killing you Give yourself the answers Become what you’re expected to be When the world needs you to grow And you refuse the call It’s the necessary pain to which we are bound And you should know it Yeah, you should know it. Now you know the answers Become what you’re expected to be When the world needs you to grow And you refuse the call It’s the necessary pain to which we are bound And you should know it
