One day you'll see me away from this dreamless life
and I’ll be what I want to no matter how hard it will be
I ain't got no time
to fill with this weak and pale light all the days of my life
the "work and pray" routine, the "eat and watch TV”
I'm sick this time
No "good or damnation", no blind moralism
I’m done… this time...
All days gone by all my thoughts inside
corroded by the time (I remember)
It seems like yesterday when father threw away
everything I was (I remember)
Now I'm feeling home while there is nowhere I belong
at the end of the day I'm sad but I'm writing again:
Here is a page of a new day
that nobody really cares
tomorrow's the same looking for a change
and night after night I dream
But now I miss that time so hated so regretted
when the sun was shining over me
I didn't care about the world I didn't care about the future
what is changed in me?
No, I can't resist I want to break the chains
No, my future is faded as in the past I write again:
Here is a page of a new day
that nobody really cares
tomorrow's the same looking for a change
and night after night I dream
Many years have passed
everything's the same
time goes by anyway
maybe I can't change
I don't give a damn
I'm still the young dreamer
Here is a page of a new day
that nobody really cares
tomorrow's the same looking for a change
and night after night I dream

Built from the inside
06:15

I can take you away over the horizons
climbing down for eternal falls
alone together so bitter sweet
losing contact with just one breath
A false awakening
disconnected sleep never ends
tonight we'll fly once more
Hunting echoes of remembrance
I see my hands again
Feeling invincible
Far away from everything
And learning control
the clock is ticking!
I'm back to my virtual reality where time
crumbles slowly
Deceive all senses with my own obsessions and defying
my subconscious pride
Not so dim and distant is just commonly forced
I feel it's a lie
Across the seasons where logic and reason are passed by
for eternity you'll be mine
I see my hands again
Feeling invincible
Far away from everything
And learning control
I make this my own world
Truth is switched again
I'll bend my memories
just to be there
I'll bring you back, no matter how
I hold my fate
'cause my world is built from the inside
I see my hands again
Feeling invincible
Far away from everything
And learning control
I make this my own world
As I can see her again
I'll bend my memories
just to be there

The shy tree
08:48

It was a bright Sunday morning when I first saw her
She was beautiful in her blue gown, brushing her sister's hair
The breakfast was turning cold when she showed up, always drawing everyone's attention with her moves
To be honest, I've never loved what I do
I always felt like I was the bad guy
stealing bliss from oblivious lives
I watch her chatting in a bar
While she takes tea with all her friends
I catch her in my photographs
As she walks down crowded streets
“But when the lights go down
I stand and watch in moonless nights
Longing for your smile”
And tryin' to keep you safe from everything
And dyin' for being your cape in rainy days
Hearing all the candid words you say
But never reachin' you, anyway
The day I crossed her way in the park
when our eyes finally met
I could tell we shared the same familiar feelings
I heard a sudden stop and saw
her hands tightened in fear
Then she turned around
but there was just trees surrounding her
And tryin' to keep you safe from everything
And dyin' for being your cape in rainy springs
But now i‘m swearing words to gods that I won't pray
'cause i'm never reachin' you, anyway
I try to keep you safe from everything
I dream for being the one who put the ring
BUT NOW I'M
trying to scream to take my pain away
stuck within a cage I can't escape
I was lost in thoughts when shadows took you away
So i'll never reach you anyway
Surroundeded by people dressed in black I painfully smile
To think I've never been so close, now that I'm six feet over
And as the days go on and on, I have no tears to shed
'Cause deep down in my heart I know for sure
the way to reach you

Sound of the earth
06:26
|
|

Then came the light
just another day to live without
a far horizon, no future to reach out
waking up everyday and feeling empty inside
nothing to fulfill myself
what I had was a rusty dream box never filled
what I need is to get lost somewhere
on a mountain top or in a stormy sea
in a jungle and no one but me
walking in the woods, something I never knew
sweat on my skin, enjoying everything
I lay down and rest
listening to the sound of the earth
So, here I am… In the end I'm still alive
I had no choice but to be born again
As an eclipse passing by the light will return
and everything will be forgotten
On a passageway
No memories of strain
sitting on a cliff
losing gravity
I lay down and rest
listening to the sound of the earth
We’re only grains of sand in the hourglass of life
We try to leave a trace in a world that doesn't need it
We are a leaf beaten by the howling wind
But with heads held high, here we stand
But when the night’s approaching the flames are arising
I feel them around me, they’re closer and closer
I’ve nowhere to hide from their voracious jaws
Just keep running and running ‘til I will come one with the wild
Many years of loneliness watching nature growing
I've found a way to live
Flow like water on the rocks
gently drawing always a different line
feel the universe in a flower that blooms
and we are always looking for something more
We’re only grains of sand in the hourglass of life
We try to speak the truth in this empire of lies
We are a leaf beaten by the howling wind
But after all, here I stand

Discoveries
09:51

- The wicked picture
The stage's ready
I set the scene and no repent
Just a single drop and it'll be done
Eyes are weeping in an smoky atmosphere
"And with a little flask I'll fulfill my task…
…Everything's set!”
A never-ending hunger
and talent to master nature's miracles
but days seem like eternity when gold is no more challenge
and dispassion blackens the sight
And then it appears, a spark in the night
the wicked picture
Chilled by the fear and adrenalized of defying divine rules
High words and vows can never confine
the untaught desire of the mind
Crawling around in trepidation
Is curiosity driving me mad
or maybe guiding me to answers no one's brave enough to face
Lust for forbidden theories
Crossing the line to feel alive
When dust makes room to light
there it stands, the final experiment
Heart beating deep and eyes open wide that are staring at me
High words and vows can never confine
the untaught desire of the mind
In a blink of an eye two souls are melt into one
and It smiles at me as I'm falling down
- The dreadful experiment (instrumental)
- A shapeless journey
Floating weightless I can't hear a sound
shivers of night carry me on
And my soul fades into light
I'm getting out of the mystery
all the puzzles combine into one
simple answer never seen before
I can feel it, as I fade away
- Discoveries
As the whole becomes one I can see clearly
the truth of all things, so close and yet so far
In the other life, unsullied paradise of questions and keys
I'm alive again
Sinking down, spiraling up to the stars
Secrets are turning into dust
Setting the mind and never afraid of discoveries to be made

Whispers
06:20

I walk beside you and whisper in your ears
even when there's none you are not alone
watch the sun rise the horizons now are closer
try to leave behind the burden in your head
Just let me turn the pages
let me blow away your doubts
another soul reading the life of strangers
yet another lazy noon in pajamas
a sudden gale blows carrying dust and voices
echoes of past lives and stories never told
you better let me in
just let the window open wide
I sing some memories for you
I'm here to slip into your mind
“Never fear the changes
for those are what you need to feel alive.
Tear down the walls of mediocrity
what goes around comes around.”
the way to find the peace
is full of sacrifices
the road for redemption
the washing of our souls
when tryin' to fight against a life buried in darkness
or givin' in to search for the light
we will be mesmerized like moths around the fires
into the long run to the peace of mind

Over the rippling waters

- The Middle of Nowhere
It's a damn long way to go
in the middle of nowhere
many crossroads passing by
And I turn the radio on
to remind me I was wrong
"And I choose her, come what may"
I feel lost within this sight
And I cannot see the edge
between dusk and dawn
All my senses seem to fade
and the heart is beating strong
like a hammer to the anvil of despair
trying to run away
from this crystal cage
say, can you spot the end?
It's growing smaller now
and getting harder to breath
I feel I'm falling off again
And I hear angels singing:
“Is this your way to paradise?”
A fly tangled on the web
Our hopes and fantasies
Are thrown in pieces on the floor
in this never-ending rise and fall
- Unconscious Trek (Instrumental)
- The Faceless Army
When I'm back in
I found myself surrounded by a strange mob
they don't have a face, it's being replaced
by a never-ending smile
they turn to me and slowly start to move
into a freaky march
Hey you! We cannot find you in our registers
Tell us: what did you eat? where did you sleep?
And.. Oh, are you still virgin?
Come on, son! Hand us some of your privacy
We have big plans for you boy, you know?
You'll be just as everybody else!
Help! I'm feeling suffocated by this madness
Legions of hollow men in suit-and-tie
Please, don't ask me why
I know, I've got to escape this trap
oh Lord, help me coming back
But suddenly all of them are bursting into flames
Twisting with pain, screaming in agony
Ashes are dancing in a frozen reality
yet with their blaming fingers still pointing at me
And I’ll never know why
the weak and fools now stand in high places
They are sanctified
The ones who crucified
- Interstellar mayhem
And in a flash, all is swallowed by darkness
Broken lands light by a pale white sky
We laugh in joy as planets start to collide
- Clear as a bell
Bell tolls from a distant square
Sailors waving their goodbyes
We try to see
The meaning of it all
But dices still will roll
Still I hear angels singing:
“Is this your way to paradise?”
A fly tangled on the web
Our hopes and fantasies
Are thrown in pieces on the floor
in this never-ending rise and fall
Out of the darkness
I’ve found my way to paradise
Oh boys, I have news for you!
Our hopes and fantasies
We hang to them to carry on
In this never-ending rise and fall

Diary
09:11

|

Lonely nights for endless years
Searching for the perfect melody
No matter how hard I try
In the end nothing will remain
Following my holy grail
I can feel it's driving me insane
Digging deeper in my soul
Will uncover shades of me that I desire?
We run alone to arrive
And live quiet to survive
But there's no real destination
Tryin’ to draw a line
Between what's wrong or right
Looking for a way to take
Here I stand
Awake and wondering
If I'll put down in words my sorrow
It's my cure
The tunes I keep inside
That flutter in my head
are only mine
Unopened song
To hold on the life in a sweet melody
By candlelight
Closed in my world
nothing ever crosses over the wall
I'm with my Diary again
I close my eyes and regain myself
even when all seems lost
let the time heal my wounds
let the scars grow on my skin
Still haven't find all the answers
as I hoped when I was young
back again in the old days
when I left the boy behind
Unopened song
to hold on the life in a sweet melody
by candlelight
closed in my world
nothing ever crosses over the wall
I'm with my Diary again
