The Clown 05:15
lyrics
buy track
Laughter Apart from our world The silence as it grows Is welcoming the show Inside and out We die Fighting to be born Cause we´re never there We´ve never been Betrayed before We´d say The spirit is our guide We laugh until we bleed As many did Those were the days We lie Our lies would lay ahead Cause we´re never there We´ve never been Betrayed before Laughter The mourning in itself To read me in your eyes We´re locked within a shell We feed the crowd We die Fighting to be born Cause we´re never there We´ve never been Betrayed before Now I´m ready to be your clown I´ve been smiling from dusk ´till dawn Now I´m ready to be your clown I´ve been smiling from dusk ´till dawn Now I´m ready to be your clown

Mannequins 04:21
lyrics

An intense light A glow you can't miss March buttermilk Shoals of iron fish Polychrome buildings Vertical indifference Reinforced concrete All in a fusion Suspended monsters Of invisible forces With bullet holes On their bodies Insulation chambers Mannequins in windows Greeting hello Familiar faces Like someone else I'm stacked on a shelf How can i help you? I´m just waiting for a train Long halls with doors Where men in suites are crawling Prevented from love Love is free falling Suspended monsters Of invisible forces With bullet holes On their bodies Insulation chambers Mannequins in windows Greeting hello Familiar faces And a squared grey individual is devouring my days As he´s slobbering his ego While i'm waiting for this train And a squared grey individual is devouring my days As he´s slobbering his ego While i'm waiting for this train

Angels & Beasts 05:29
lyrics

I feel futile and submissive Right according to my eyes If a prayer could save a tear God should redefine his lies Go away, you make my efforts suffocate But I won't fail I'm like a dog I guess all the wounds are random There is no cure, we didn t sow Enjoy my pain and leave me be I'm a thousand years old Go away, you make my efforts suffocate But I won't fail I'm like a dog I won't judge you I won't hate you But I won't fail I'm like a dog Bring the angels and the beasts Welcome to my burial Don't want you to suffer Do not say a thing Welcome to my burial Bring the angels and the beasts

No Better Way 04:17
lyrics

The fear I´m expecting is something new My primal denial, I can´t pass it through Is time running faster, Can´t find my way out of here A fake is a fake so why could it feel good Confronting my ways I would do as you would My heart is awake I can´t find my way out of here Don´t waste any time No betting on me I´m sure I can find a much better relief I still wear your colours There´s no way I´m out of here A fake is a fake so why could it feel good Confronting my ways i would do as you would My heart is awake I can´t find my way out of here There´s no better way, no better way There´s no better way, no better There´s no better way, no better way There´s no better way, no better No better reason No words of wisdom We feed the beast that we are frightened of Time is wasted Fear and hatred And the weaker are setting the fire Fire There´s no better way, no better way There´s no better way, no better There´s no better way, no better way There´s no better way, no better I want that now I need somehow Sort it out Please sort it out

Words Off My Limits 04:49
lyrics
buy track
In this world that s cold and dirty When I feel my vision blurry There'll be fog and solitude With a click we'll turn to mute Every life goes round and round Every soul keeps tracking down Do you dream to turn to shreds? No excitation Some words are off my limits Some words and all their meanings From what I've already seen There are codes that I've been missing All the messengers are screaming But the words are still diverted I was trying to achieve That old cool style exquisite If frustration takes one down Am I almost dead now Some words are off my limits I try to guess their meanings Some words are like an arrow Make them ways so narrow until they hit the ground And memories are flowing And memories are glowing Some words are like an arrow Make them ways so narrow until they hit the ground And memories are flowing And memories are glowing If I ask a resident For some words of common sense though He still takes me over Shall I trust his cover? Who's the killer who's the victim On this blood stampede vendetta Full of cravings full of thoughts No reservations Some words are off my limits I try to guess their meanings Some words are off my limits Feeling what I feel Some words are off my limits
