4 a.m. in the middle of the night, I just woke up and my eyes are burning My head hurts, I’m dizzy, my heart will beat out of my chest I’m so afraid, my screams echo in the air as I realize that I’m not alone I stumbled on his body that’s lying lifeless on the floor His eyes wide open, there’s a smile on his face It’s not the time to grieve, someone might be in my place My brain can't function, I can't think anymore I try to catch my breath, as I fall on the floor I’ve lost everything tonight Shouting from the top of my lungs, there’s so much blood Memories fade away in my head Refusing it makes no sense, what do I do now? They found me shaking in the street, it was raining My sweet old neighbor called for help, and so they came They kept asking me questions but I didn’t know a thing How could I not hear the killer when he broke in? When he stabbed him in the chest so violently? How could I not protect him and why didn’t I die myself? My brain can’t function, I can’t think anymore They try to calm me down as I fall on the floor I’ve lost everything tonight Shouting from the top of my lungs, there’s so much blood Memories fade away in my head Refusing it makes no sense, what do I do now? Everyone dressed in black, he looks so handsome in his light blue suit As peaceful as he was when he was sleeping next to me Before I grabbed the knife, to take his life He shouldn’t love someone else I’ve lost everything tonight Shouting from the top of my lungs, there’s so much blood Memories come alive in my head Refusing it makes no sense, what do I do now?

Bruises 03:41
lyrics

The only thing he ever wanted was to be loved But then they ruined him and they sent him to rot And when he came back from this hell he’d been put through His father told him they’d be better off if he was stuck there for good That’s when the kid reclaimed his life I don’t know what really happened; I know that I would do the same Look at us, as we stand, you don’t have to touch But know that what got us here has something to do with you And think for a second before you judge, that the one thing we needed The one thing that could save us was what we never had She woke up in a filthy road with bruises on her hands Her eyes so blurry, her skin so dirty, the weather so cold No one around to hold her, when she was young they told her They’d be there forever for her They didn’t mention they would only keep her if she was good enough The only thing for her to expect is someone to pay for her love Look at us, as we stand, you don’t have to touch But know that what got us here has something to do with you And think for a second before you judge, that the one thing we needed The one thing that could save us was what we never had He’s hiding in the bedroom closet, the only place he'd ever feel safe At 6 he’s seen most of the hate of the world He shuts his ears, his breath he holds As the footsteps grow louder that’s when he knows The pain is cleansing as the punishment comes He knows he deserves it, he spilled the water Something in his head might slightly be changing In a few years you will all call him crazy Look at us, as we stand, you don’t have to touch But know that what got us here has something to do with you And think for a second before you judge, that the one thing we needed The one thing that could save us was just a drop of love

Swimming in a Cemetery 02:49
lyrics

Fears, tears and lies What is forbidden is revenge, will you compromise? Stop, it’s out of sight and out of mind, so keep it all inside One last goodnight, one last goodnight. Swimming in a cemetery Hope is drowned and dreams are buried The waves upon, no shore is found Swimming in a cemetery Scars, the real past Awake to seek who’s still alive Paint, the blood in the heart Never see that everything’s fucked up One last goodnight Swimming in a cemetery Hope is drowned and dreams are buried The waves upon, no shore is found Swimming in a cemetery The land is far, the sky so black and no one to trust Living is my dream, I want it to last Swimming in a cemetery Hope is drowned and dreams are buried The waves upon, no shore is found Swimming in a cemetery

No One Hears a Sound 03:18
lyrics

Trapped in the dark, pain turns into tears I think my heart is full of innocence, but this illusion disappears Lies and foolish prides, ready to break down I’ll take my fears into my grave, The only place they won’t be found. Stuck on the wall, you can’t watch your back You worry about the falling sky as years go passing by Kick the rainy day, this silence is so loud Your mind is empty, you keep your voice down You think they’re deaf while you shout. What’s going on, I can't tell what's sane no more What’s going on, faith is broken I can hear the crash. scream my heart out no one hears a sound What’s going on? I remember you said, that things will find their way And all the pieces fallen to the ground, will reunite and sail away But I can’t break these walls, my body has collapsed The world is headed to catastrophe, my brain tells me to give up What’s going on, I can't tell what's sane no more What’s going on, faith is broken I can hear the crash scream my heart out no one hears a sound What’s going on? I don’t care what they will say Hunt is their game and you are their prey Now raise your voice. They’re gonna fade, we’ll make our own choice What’s going on, I can't tell what's sane no more What’s going on, faith is broken I can hear the crash scream my heart out no one hears a sound What’s going on?

You Won't Find me Home 03:13

See your face, you’re full of shit What did you expect? Now watch me live All your tales are in the past that I left behind me This race is over, now you’re by yourself I’ve better things to do, you won’t be there You make me laugh when you call me at night At first we crashed, then we screwed up, I blame no one but keep your mouth shut Find someone new, your chance just flew Can you give me, please give me, damn give me some space to be You won’t find me home (not this time) You’re not worth it, I’m bored (and now I’ll try) To find someone who believes in me (yeah, I’ll find) Someone who knows how to kiss (You're a dick!) Broke up with me and now you’re back What did you think? Now hit the sack I'm not your chick, you thought I was weak. You’re Mr. Right and I’m Mrs. Bitch I don’t want to give you relief That I still love you would be a lie At first we crashed, then we screwed up, I blame no one but keep your mouth shut Find someone new, your chance just flew Can you give me, please give me, damn give me some space to be You won’t find me home (not this time) You’re not worth it, I’m bored (and now I’ll try) To find someone who believes in me (yeah, I’ll find) Someone who knows how to kiss (You're a dick!) I was choking, yeah Now I need some air You were never there Suppose you never cared But I don’t blame you I was the fool So I’ll abandon you I’ll turn the page in my book You won’t find me home (not this time) You’re not worth it, I’m bored (and now I’ll try) To find someone who believes in me (yeah, I’ll find) Someone who knows how to kiss (You're a dick!)

What doesn't Kill you 02:05
lyrics

Watch the world, you are the monsters, we are the loss We’re part of your game, obeying someone who always wins But you say you don’t play, make your move, don’t be afraid You’re gonna freak them out Rebel days on your way, make your difference, you won’t pay They love to hear you cry What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger A fire in your eyes and you feel alive What have we done? We’re not heroes; I don’t feel that I’m one We’re down on our knees, yet we’re strong to fight and you’re not gonna win All you need, a falling star, make a wish to be loved In this awful world Kids kill, starve and die, we can’t find someone to trust Maybe we'll start the change from ourselves What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger A fire in your eyes and you feel alive What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger A fire in your eyes and you feel alive Keep this in mind, don’t ever slide You run but never try to hide You must be tough, don’t expect from luck To sing you a sweet lullaby What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger A fire in your eyes and you feel alive

Be the Change 02:19

I hate that look on your face, you’re being so sad and cynical Your complaining won’t fix anything, you’re just wasting our time I’m done listening to the same old story about how it’s always everybody else’s fault You see no point in trying, you’re disappointed, tired But you’re forgetting this one thing Your voice can make a difference A simple smile can heal a wound Your help might save somebody So don’t just wait and be the change you wanna see in the world I know it’s easier for you to put the blame on someone else It’s more convenient, I’m sure But you’re forgetting this one thing Your voice can make a difference A simple smile can heal a wound Your help might save somebody So don’t just wait and be the change Your voice can make a difference A simple smile can heal a wound Your help might save somebody So don’t just wait and be the change you wanna see in the world Does it matter if you think it’s worthless? Shouldn’t we react? Should we just give up? Does it matter if you think it’s hopeless? We always gotta try, we gotta give it a shot Your voice can make a difference A simple smile can heal a wound Your help might save somebody So don’t just wait and be the change Your voice can make a difference A simple smile can heal a wound Your help might save somebody So don’t just wait and be the change you wanna see in the world

Help 03:42

Waste my life in fear, I can do nothing at all Can’t ignore the voice that screams inside me The house is empty and I am calm The threat is coming too close But I’m still holding on Lie down, I understand that you’ve been used Don’t hate yourself, falling apart won’t change your doom Broken down in agony, want you to feel me, feel me I just can’t escape this life, don’t leave me, don’t leave me No one’s here, help is what I need Broken down in agony, want you to feel me, feel me They say we get to choose our lives. What is a choice? I don’t know I no longer wanna live in this lie The dark is coming, where is the path? The chains are holding me down A prison and a home Lie down, I understand that you forgot It’s hard to find the courage you have lost Lie down, you have a fight that never ends You are ignored and you will never be the same Broken down in agony, want you to feel me, feel me I just can’t escape this life, don’t leave me, don’t leave me No one’s here, help is what I need Broken down in agony, want you to feel me, feel me He stole your life, he always put you down You tried to pick your pieces from the ground desperately How could he ever sleep in peace I wonder I know they see you but they wouldn’t bother They leave you hopeless and alone Broken down in agony, want you to feel me, feel me (leave you hopeless and alone) I just can’t escape this life, don’t leave me, don’t leave me (leave you hopeless and alone) No one’s here, help is what I need (leave you hopeless and alone) Broken down in agony, want you to feel me, feel me

Tonight 02:56

I wonder how we’ve come to this, another broken dream I try so hard to understand, what we did to deserve this fate Stopping, starring at my life again, didn’t know my journey’s end Leaving a life once again and left behind Tonight, I’ll be here by your side I’ll never leave you crying Despite being next I don’t ask why, cause I’m here for you Tonight, it’s alright Now she’s hanging by a thread, I wanna help her stay I’ll hide my tears, won’t show my pain, keep pretending everything’s ok Life is short and life is great, at least that’s what’s she said Torn inside, she smiles instead, I see through her eyes Tonight, I’ll be here by your side I’ll never leave you crying Despite being next I don’t ask why, cause I’m here for you Tonight, it’s alright It’s not enough But you’ve got me to count on What have we done? At least we’re not alone Tonight, I’ll be here by your side I’ll never leave you crying Despite being next I don’t ask why, cause I’m here for you Tonight, it’s alright

Unfinished Novel 02:59
lyrics

An ugly world, my darkest days, lost in the crowd you found me Can’t even count the times you saved me from myself You sang some lyrics from The Smiths, I told you I’d never felt like this I swore I never would, but still I let you down And all that’s left of us is memories Unfinished novel on my nightstand A dream that ends in misery without you My used up brain, your tortured soul were not the ones that broke us I promise I’ll remember all the roads we walked You put up with all my rage and hate, loved me when I wished you were dead No matter what you say you can’t deny you’re kind And all that’s left of us is memories Unfinished novel on my nightstand A dream that ends in misery without you I wish I'd never hurt you those times you drove me mad What would I give to have you back! And all that’s left of us is memories Unfinished novel on my nightstand A dream that ends in misery without you
