I think, therefore I suffer 02:56
lyrics
I've come here from stars to vanish all these scars Why do they hurt and stay so deep inside? I've done it before, they return more and more It's time to come up against my own mind By now these eyes can't see the light That comes from that dead calm place And I still try to get alright But I know nothing's gonna change Am I getting close? Am I getting lost? There's something wrong Where does it come from? Blocking thoughts that never stop I always deal with something really real So I don't care if it's so unfair They just complain, don't feel the pain I miss myself or maybe something else...

What breaks a heart 02:45
lyrics
One day I realised that nothing lasts for eternity And now this knowledge always lets me down Although you tell me my will is weak and I won't resist Days show me that will is an old law I'm sure I cannot be responsible For every single moment in my whole world I know I can choose some things to run my own life I don't prefer to let it burn but I could freeze it sometimes One day I realised that people come and people go away And all that remains are my memories If I had the strenght to follow this free and lonely way Maybe I'd feel better in the next stories I hope to get rid of this bitter taste A freedom inside a structure I shouldn't waste I wish I faked all my faces to show you I don't mind In fact I'm supposed to be brave not a coward blind Believe, I cried in a boreal spring This suffering is mine, breaking my naive heart It's about time to get brand new wings I will find, it's only one more restart Is there a place where human race isn't falling down? Am I free? Am I stuck? Or am I just a clown? I've been trying to keep away those things which break my heart

Sisyphus' boulder 03:49
lyrics
I roll it up to the mountain In the winter After a knives rain It gets heavier No matter if I work hard In the summer The way is so far Sun gets hotter Maybe I should give up There's no sugar in this cup Overflow What's the purpose of this stone Your work is undone Always falls Give me a reason to explain The absurdity of existence Who tells me how to maintain A lot of tasks which never end? I know I left devotion It's so rebel Finding emotion Coming from hell Sometimes it's useless If I were stronger But it's meaningless It's forever I can't make any noise 'Cause the whisper is my voice Hear me now Gods don't forgive when You have consciousness Grief I saw When I miss the fastest train In turtle I have to trust Even if my attempt is in vain I feel I need to try

Every day smells like rain 03:06
lyrics
She dreams alone after a party and had some fun She screams: "Don't go!" In front of the mirror there's no hope No regrets, It's too late I confess, nothing makes much sense We forget ourselves He's felt at home kissing smiles that have gone He hasn't heard what the wisdom says You were my friend You were my love You were my happiness You are this simple song It could be me It could be him It could be anyone else Maybe it's your revenge You know you'll waste what's pure and true I wish you never taste what's to feel blue Thank you, sunshine: "The guilt is mine Because by your side I was afraid of dying..." Worried all the time The saddest guy No desires to collide Now I learn to misguide The Black Roses poem Became my favourite touchstone A self-manipulation Monday morning's motivation No roof, no floor Face the storm to fill this emptiness It's so ambiguous

Diagnosis: misanthropy 03:16
lyrics
Please, don't ask me to be someone I'll probably ignore You say I'm kind of stubborn I won't stop Once I changed my life like Harry Haller just postponed his crime How many times did I find another hole or defect to hide While things are happening outside? How many lines did I write to become the one and be the prime Not one more point in the sky? I'm stuck, I can't climb And everywhere I go the gale starts to blow Every time I see this pine All the things fall apart It burns down the biggest town No such power is coming around You're gonna be safe underground Or sit down and watch me crawl No social skill until the last round Guess who is bluffing right here right now As the music, I could dance I'd be the winner of your game My self defense 'Cause I don't wanna be the same Putting on others all the blame Fuck your shame I isolate myself from society Or society isolates me Calm down and hold this song While I can't feel your souls I don't wanna share your goals Sometimes I'm a dried bone I can't fit in with anyone So I just want to be alone

Wolf or sheep? 02:52
lyrics
After all those broken promises I convinced myself My tears are smaller than this ocean Life is short Life is hard Some give up Others get high You must make your choice Or stay among the noises Have you been waiting for your turn? There's no concern in waiting line In my mind I water the trees And by my hands I plant the seeds Before taking that red pill Be prepared for what's new Use claws in mazes At any time the master will betray you No refuge, you are free Flock, should I leave you? Who am I now? Wolf or sheep?
