City At Night 04:22
lyrics
buy track
All I can think of All I care for now Is how I could have dodged this situation Everyone I see reminds me that I seem lost for good Sometimes the only escape is right in front of you Nothing can beat the sight of a city at night A city at night When every warm light soothes the atmosphere A simple ride among them A simple conversation near them Is sometimes the most effective way to forget everything for a while I can finally remember All the good times when we were all aside We were all aside More often than not You guys were the key for my solutions Now it’s my duty to find them on my own But it’s hard to understand how you can feel so lonely in such a wide and crowded place Why is it now that I realize I should have cared when it was the time

The Norm 02:50
lyrics
buy track
They set these rules to be everlasting A permanent mindset you must embrace It’s been around since we needed to be controlled But why is it still this way Set by past figures of authority Future leaders will rule by these standards Many opportunities will be missed How can you be a leader Why is it the norm Is it because of our massive fright It’s always been done this way So it must be right I hope one day you will stand up and say The rules just changed Then I will not be judged by my answers But rather by my actions towards everyone It will happen on a particular day When we will assume our responsibilities Which doesn’t seem close to happen They don’t mind trying Just don’t succeed Why is it the norm Is it because of our massive fright It’s always been done this way So it must be right Why is it the norm Is it because of our massive fright It’s always been done this way So it must be right

Letting It All Out 03:56
lyrics

You know I’ve done much more than I should I’ve let it all out You know I’ve done the best that I could Still you want me to bow I’m done playing all your sick games I deserve more than that And everything I do, I do it for you You just don’t realize that I know that I should leave Everyone, even myself, know it’s a fact Thought it was a misunderstanding It’s not hard to see Yet I can’t leave Yet I can’t leave But now it’s my time I’ve done more than my share Even though you won’t even care There is nothing here for me This is goodbye I know that I should leave Everyone, even myself, know it’s a fact Thought it was a misunderstanding It’s not hard to see Yet I can’t leave Yet I can’t leave I know that I should leave Everyone, even myself, know it’s a fact Thought it was a misunderstanding It’s not hard to see Yet I can’t leave Yet I can’t leave

Lost Its Meaning 02:29
lyrics
buy track
Looks like you can’t put it to sleep With every passing night With time stress only seems to intensify I know it’s a hard thing to do alone Does your happiness always swings like this We’re always told it’s easy By people that looks just like us So easy guiding someone that isn’t you Trying to find your place in this world That itself lost its meaning Is one of the difficult challenges May we do this together The era of wasting time is over Look at your own reflection All the layers to the answers are there But you just can’t find out what they mean Trying to find your place in this world That itself lost its meaning Is one of the difficult challenges May we do this together Trying to find your place in this world That itself lost its meaning Is one of the difficult challenges May we do this together

Quest For Understanding 01:48
lyrics
buy track
I walk again and again Just trying to understand All this hate and why it exists How can it survive What pushes them to hate Even though I tried But I still don’t get it If only it would stop If only it could not exist Only then we could coexist I really wish that I could just vanish It's seems that there are no exceptions We all live with it Nobody seems to be able to kill it It’s worldwide suicide If only it would stop If only it could not exist Only then we could coexist I really wish that I could just vanish If only it would stop If only it could not exist Only then we could coexist I really wish that I could just vanish Vanish

Share Of Thoughts 03:03
lyrics
buy track
I’ve known this man for a while now Always in need of self-harm He said he had enough He thinks that we’re living in an era where progress is seen as bad Marching toward degradation We all build fortresses So no one can hurt us Basically we isolate ourselves And say that everyone is selfish afterwards What if we weren’t so paranoid What if I know that it’s wrong What if we finally speak up Maybe then we won’t be so ignorant of our situation It's a hard subject for him to speak of Everyone sees him as a pessimistic For me this makes a lot of sense It’s easy to negate someone vision Especially if you recognize yourself in what he says I think that it’s time That we finally set the word out What if we weren’t so paranoid What if I know that it’s wrong What if we finally speak up Maybe then we won’t be so ignorant of our situation

Yesterday's Barricade 02:15
lyrics
buy track
Yesterday felt way to lame How can you restore your former self The one that wanted to accomplish everything that was out of reach Now that today is like a blank sheet It’s time to get you up back again Free yourself, free yourself From yesterday’s barricade Free yourself, free yourself From yesterday’s barricade Forget what it stood for Far from your goals you feel so desperate The boring mindset that blocks you from what you want must go away Now think what you can do Not to think what you are missing And that all you can do is Free yourself, free yourself From yesterday’s barricade Free yourself, free yourself From yesterday’s barricade

Tonight I'm Leaving 04:37
lyrics
buy track
Tonight I’m leaving for a better land It’s been a while since I must disappear A lot of things are keeping me here But now I’ve had enough I need a new place where a blue sky shines on I hope you’ll all understand my choice It will be my first try on new opportunities And then I’ll finally feel better After all the planning After all the bad days There I am finally living This time I won’t screw it up All my life has been about trials and errors Yet I swear it will be a drastic change A drastic change There will be no safe plans It will be all or nothing I can already see the lights It's a new sight, a new vision Finally this is my life After all the planning After all the bad days There I am finally living This time I won’t screw it up All my life has been about trials and errors Yet I swear it will be a drastic change A drastic change The road was so long But the hard work is now paying off All I can wish to you is luck So please understand that now I’m well I’m just trying to erase my past I hope to see you along the way But now I’m gone

Our Own Security 02:07
lyrics
buy track
There is something I don’t understand How can the ones we trust our lives on Can’t see so much wrongful behavior I was always told this wrongful advice If I don’t let go what I see and hear I will never feel free They promised to protect and serve Yet they look away (Look away) Too many scream silently I feel that we are our own security They always obligate Yet they tolerate their own wrongs When money matters But our own security does not Something’s clearly wrong How can we tolerate all this They promised to protect and serve Yet they look away (Look away) Too many scream silently I feel that we are our own security

The Arrival 07:12
lyrics
buy track
It’s been some time since we’re here now We’ve been promised so much more than that Maybe we were blinded by this false facility We were told this place was the best for us The way he spoke about this place There was no way that we wouldn’t try But how could we have known Since we were so young back then Basically we are the forgotten Stuck in this alley We wonder can it be any worse But when you sit and think about the world Do you see a beautiful landscape or a place as dark as we are now He said that it was the best That here was the place for us I was a little bit skeptical The way he spoke about the quality of life I can only wonder why he didn’t came here before It's seems obvious now that he wanted us out I must admit that I fear for the worst now Because we are not the only ones here We don’t claim to have all the answers But we don’t fear looking for them There is just no way we can be so low for so long I think that we were promised a false paradise Basically we are the forgotten Stuck in this alley We wonder can it be any worse But when you sit and think about the world Do you see a beautiful landscape or a place as dark as we are now

Promise Of Prosperity 02:03
lyrics
buy track
They all tell you that you’ll be better Even though this disease is taking you away You got to live with it But all these promises of prosperity Just makes it easier to accept Tomorrow is not promised We hope that you could stay But that reality can’t be accomplished May this promise of prosperity be heard So that you don’t have to suffer Now that you are gone there Do you really feel in peace Do you feel that it solved everything How can you rest when they are losing sleep in their beds The fact that you are gone may not be the best Tomorrow is not promised We hope that you could stay But that reality can’t be accomplished May this promise of prosperity be heard So that you don’t have to suffer

Striking Realization 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Again he sitting alone tonight Alone with his thoughts and demons It’s never been easy for him And he had so many chances Some good and some bad But needless to say he usually seize the bad ones It's about time he realizes he has a problem But I know he won’t admit it Blaming it on others won’t help It's about time he realizes he has a problem Mental illness is still a taboo subject It’s about time it gets more acceptance Because men like him won’t help themselves It's about time you realize you have a problem But I know you won’t admit it Saying others don’t matter won’t help It's about time you realize you have a problem It’s about time we realize we have a problem But I know we won’t admit it Saying we can’t do anything won’t help It’s about time we realize we have a problem

Late Apology 02:37
lyrics
buy track
I finally found a friend Someone I can tell everything The others left me They blame me for being here We may not know each other well But we seem to get along He tells me that we can’t rely one anyone But life will throw anything that it wants And we are the masters of ourselves Rely on yourself Many of my lessons came from him He used to be like me Acting on impulse Fearing the ones who love me And not knowing myself That’s why he sees something in me He tells me that we can’t rely one anyone But life will throw anything that it wants And we are the masters of ourselves Rely on yourself I’m writing this as an apology I know I’ve hurt a lot of you There is a lot to repair I know I just hope you’re all doing well He tells me that we can’t rely one anyone But life will throw anything that it wants And we are the masters of ourselves Rely on yourself
