The river’s rough you struggle not to drown
Seeking a way to your own dreamland
Far in ahead the light is clearly on
It shows you the way into the meander
You know you’ll get there, question’s how
But your head’s still down
It’s spring you hear a thousand different sounds
But fail to listen to a single one
They’re easier to repeat than to understand
So you make your own and think they buck the trend
Look in the mirror and smile back
Just for a while lose the track
put on a golden coat they’d say
Weather’s great
Learn to feast on time of waiting
Understand the price of aiming high
Silent voices of hope and glory
Fear, doubt and disbelief
Watch the storyline unrolling
Recognise each step in going up
Words and clichés of no importance
Next billboard number one
Is this line a spark of genius
Is it total crap
Uninvited (do not care, care a lot)
Disregarded (do your thing, follow them)
How to escape the cage
of what has been already played
How to fit in a place I don't enjoy
Grown in silence (everyone's a professor)
Always finding (youtubers, your idols)
Answers to the previous ones (filter out, you are the one)
Can you help me to make my bubble real

Invasion
04:42

Never felt the need for other truth
Followed only what I understood
Based my happiness just on myself
Didn't let the others to invade
How good it felt to just abandon it all
Open arms
A different page to write
Lost and bewildered in perfect life
Wanted to learn wanted to try
To leave my broken self in the past
And reinstate the child's mind
How did we go from there to be far and astray
Burned by silence, hollow looks
And why
Out of a thousand endings the story could have
Still the worst one's being played
Like a deer that's running scared
We cannot stop the flame just change its way
The tree together we have grown from seed
Fell and crushed us both now underneath
Let there be somebody to blame
Every time
You play your piano parts
The walls are crumbling under your touch
A fleeting music of the past
Of best invasion I could have had
Keeps resonating in the dark
How did we go from there to be far and astray
Burned by silence, hollow looks
And why
Out of a thousand endings the story could have
Still the worst one's being played
Let it go another way
Before sun goes down let me hold you again
Feel the cold breeze on your skin
Search you for the reason I am so far from your best
For why I'm just another one
Help me get back on the ground
Or relapse

Just a Bit
04:20

Lights go brighter though it's something you would like
It's getting dark and chilly with the night
Your thought provoking self leaves its mark
It's not my first time nor the last
You're never meant to be the one to keep my heart
Guess that any girl could play that part
Just a little bit of love, to feel your breath and look you in the eyes
You know I'm calling
The sun is turning blue
Pillow cry will satisfy the closeness needs
When desperate ghosts crawl out from underneath
And they'll laugh and put me in a line with creeps
When all I want is just a bit
How much am I mistaken in my self esteem
That's how flawed I'll always be
Just a little bit of love, to feel your breath and look you in the eyes
You know I'm falling
Shadows creeping at my door now
You know I'm falling down
I try to open up and fight my little war
In the end I write another song

Periodic Wind
04:38

You've had your chance
to sail with the wind
Listen to the ravens
They sang of it
Watch out for the rain
You shot
The birds and the ones
That dared to believe in the lies that were
Sent to take control
Insecure, in love with power
You'd tear the ship down
To remain the one in charge
Smart, tall and handsome
You comfort the needs
Of today
(you hear the)
Lightnings striking far away
Are a lie
To take the captain's hat
They've made them up
Periodic wind
Visions that hurt are still
Fire resolving the night
Red fingertips
Crawling apocalypse
Smile never has been so wide
You throw your god against the facts
Deceiving the simple minds
Buying off the rich
You hide behind democracy
Leaving the wise outnumbered
Your little minions are inspired
Forgetting their yesterday lies they carry on
For what you leave over
They'll piss on their names with faith and joy
Rains are falling down it wasn't a lie
With lifebuoys thrown away you'll drown the last
Never ending story had its time
In tears of disrespect you're still insane

Used to the dark
Tidied up the cage enough
The tiny bits of sun
The highlight of the month
Learned to accept the void
In me, found comfort inside
Relished the life as given, with
A solitary smile
Stop the worry, stop the run
For I found the holy one
Treasure no one ever told me could exist
How to make you understand
That it's pure and unrestrained
When the human words are flawed and so am I
Stunned by the light
Narrowed eyes, the legs are numb
Does it matter now
The love is for the dumb
Few shivers, full moon rising
Your eyes reflect the sky
Forgot the past and future
The present's upside down
The cranes began to dance they call and mesmerize
Obliterate the fact I had a previous life
Top of the world or a whole another one
The dreams have given up
All the sleepless nights
A fight for inner peace
Headaches undermining
The path I'm following
When you waved your hand
Breathed into me
All of them disappeared
Thoughts are rallying in the dark
Chaos has the upper hand
Crawling, fading
Coming back to where I've been
Recognise the cage I'm in
Reason takes the fall
What
What have I let to take control
Over mine
Unready for your sacred soul
Young mind
I never intended any harm
On your heart
I, I didn't choose to fall this low
And kill the light
To rip the band-aid off
And stab an angel in the back
When the sky has fallen down
How am I the guilty one
Of a moment I have let the demons own
After shredding everything
You have led me to believe
You've become the one to leave me all alone
Now cold as ice you walk and yet still hypnotise
With thunders in your eyes and cruel empty hi
Vain are your efforts to scratch us out
And keep the bubble up
All the sleepless nights
A fight for inner peace
Headaches undermining
The path I'm following
When you waved your hand
Breathed into me
All of them disappeared
I know
You will stay away
Keep my demons in you
Make the worst of them
When you shut the door
And buried the key
I send these words with
Hope they help you
Find a way back to me

Visions

Disenchanted stars
Elevate
Errors in design
Resonate
Staring from above mountains turn with disregard
Inexperienced
Shall bow down
Crossed the line and raised the stakes
When did innocent enjoyment start to
Turn into regret
In the fire of your life
You give up on little moments
You would die for in the past
Vibrance of the night
Emanates
Crickets on a jam
Let them play
Sun is setting down yet still waking others up
Why am I alone
When it's out
Crossed the line and raised the stakes
When did innocent enjoyment start to
Turn into regret
In the fire of your life
You give up on little moments
You would die for in the past
In the struggle to survive
Endless ways of self-destruction keep on
Selling out in packs
How to end up at the top
When we're going up the mountain carrying
Seven heavy stones
Slow it down and take a breath
You don't have to run away from your own self

A Midnight Contemplation
07:25
|

|
Twenty years are behind
Should I have grown up by now
When still emotional child
Hopes for a chance to wake up
And the world is still like a wild beast
With madness and hoax in its eye
Is there anyone there to say I'm wrong
If I'm overreacting it's not my fault
There's so much in me to express
So much I'd like to receive
Is the problem in language
Or is it a wrong place to be
Imprisoned by modern concepts
That keep my true self locked inside
Is there anyone there to prove me wrong
If I'm overreacting it's not my fault
Struggling to form my blurry bubble of joy
Will you ever let me stop
Am I insane or did one make a mistake
To put me in this world

Fall and Ascend
03:23
|

|
Mind how your own story rises
Cry for tonight
Smile other days
When there's noone near to show you the way so you gamble one more time
When your love's so strong has nowhere to go and the hopeless romance thrives
When the forests keep on burning, rivers drying up
And one more day's in the past
Breathe in the night
Take a look from aside
Use the pen
When life gave you one
Write among the golden writings
Ready to fight
Fall and ascend

Human Ways
03:57
|

|
So again you're on your own
Polarised
Ready to forget, to use the pain
Against your scars
Call for unknown
Clashes with emotions' trace
Cast in the dark
You create your human ways
And you'll run
And you'll run
Just as far away from what can't be undone
You will find what's left
Give your songs a thousand meanings
Find the one that's yours
Keep the best of your experience
See the flaws
You've found what to crave
You have lived your happy end
Try (now) recreate
Lucid dream that flew away
And when light
Shines again
With the second chance for perfect life you had
Cast aside what's passed
