A brand new song another blank sheet of paper So many things left I need to write down and express About this loss that I can’t accept about these haunting thoughts that I can’t escape About this best friend I always had on my side And I never thought would commit suicide That decision you made to turn off the light And say goodnight in silence has left an undelible mark This pain would justify a hundred songs a thousand lines But still none could get the feelings right I am staring at those pictures that I’m holding tight in my hands today It’s such a hard thing to face to live these days that ever since have faded to the darkest grey our days of innocence have been stolen there’s no turning back on the way of our lifetime That decision you made to turn off the light And say goodnight in silence has left an undelible mark This pain would justify a hundred songs a thousand lines But still none could get the feelings right That decision you made to turn off the light And say goodnight in silence has left an undelible mark

Bitter Pill 04:08
I tried to fight against what I once thought couldn’t be won It took some time it took my strongest will not to swallow such a bitter pill Your flattering words promising letters look like a mirage now I was so mistaken my blinding faith and trust were all to blame These unanswered questions that used to tear me up inside That used to cross my mind a thousand times and to nearly bring tears to my eyes It’s time to leave and not regret it’s time to live and just forget No matter how hard my pride was hurt No matter how long I stood here drowning And again I’ve picked myself off the ground and set myself (free) from this overwhelming weight of past memories I tried to fight against what I once thought couldn’t be won It took some time it took my strongest will not to swallow such a bitter pill Your flattering words promising letters look like a mirage now I was so mistaken my blinding faith and trust were all to blame These unanswered questions that used to tear me up inside That used to cross my mind a thousand times and to nearly bring tears to my eyes It’s time to leave and not regret it’s time to live and just forget No matter how hard my pride was hurt No matter how long I stood here drowning And again I’ve picked myself off the ground and set myself (free) from this overwhelming weight of past memories It doesn’t mean anything to me as it used to be The sorrow our memories our story you and me No matter what were the answers to these questions I’ve never found out I got you outta my mind

I see people all around me sad and frustrated looks and faces surrounding me living every day like any other too afraid of calling out for a different way to exist holding on like hopeless cases until they can’t stand it no more confined in a daily routine and glossy daydreams of a better life wishing they had safer options to go off the beaten track How long is it gonna take before we break these standards of living ? And cherish the hope of a brand new existence that would finally make sense Isn’t it time to refuse these rules we’ve never had the choice to agree ? these rules we’ve never really had the choice to agree I see a thousand passers-by just walking on Consumed by compromise and resignation Choosing stability upon freedom to avoid insecure feelings So afraid to go against the grain and break this cycle they don't dare to run away from How long is it gonna take before we break these standards of living ? And cherish the hope of a brand new existence that would finally make sense Isn’t it time to refuse these rules we’ve never really had the choice to agree

Always higher always better always in the run to perfection a strong desire of complete dedication Looking up to this wide open sky but stickin’ to the ground Moving one step closer to our dreams and such awaited moments of absolute freedom priceless images invaluable memories Will we ever see the end of such sinuous ways ? Givin’ a try and everything we have is our best answer Driven by our deepest emotions and anger Winning battles losing some but always gaining ground Led by determination and our rooted convictions Such hard decisions to make along the way At any cost we’ll make it to the end Will we ever see the end of such sinuous ways ? Givin’ a try and everything we have is our best answer Driven by our deepest emotions and anger

Walking down this street going back home coming back from the studio the night is falling a couple of old people slowly walking suddenly she’s falling it’s so unexpected it’s going too fast she can’t realize she’s hitting the ground She’s wasting away at a blistering pace She’s getting closer to the tragic ending People running over to her life lifeless body that is lying on the pavement finally I can hear the sirens some rescue’s coming not even taking a last breath slowly she’s moving away to a better place firemen keeping lookin’ for a pulse but she’s already resting in peace She’s wasting away at a blistering pace She’s getting closer to the tragic ending He’s standing there all alone scared frightened and shattered Of this life he’s going to have to live on his own Understanding that she’s dying he couldn’t believe That this nightmare would be proved to be his darkest reality He’s watching her powerless passing away

I look for stability like I’ve always done I don’t wanna hide what they think I have learned Never read through someone’s mind never could Always blind why can’t you alley my troubled soul There’s a lot of pleasant dreams that I lived But also real things that I lived and that I care about So different feelings that make me what I am All these years from now I just can’t change the past I guess no one will never learn anything from me People just watching me trapped by myself Feeling deeper growing stronger it’s still the same But nothing has changed There’s a lot of pleasant dreams that I lived But also real things that I lived and that I care about I know I’ve got so much hate and anger to unload And my lifetime is gonna leave me sad Sometimes it is such a long hard lonely road Time is just passing me by running and treating me so bad There’s a lot of pleasant dreams that I lived But also real things that I lived and that I care about So different feelings that make me what I am All these years from now I just can’t change the past
