Explain Away 03:17
I should be happy but I'm not I've got everything that I've always thought But deep inside I feel that something's gone Explain away the shiver in my bones For you, I've done all the achievements of a real grown up But you forget, life is greater than you know and I feel completely null I should be thankful but I'm not I've got my wife, my house, my kids, a dog But somehow I think of doing more Explain away the emptiness in control

Poor Old Me 01:55
Late last night I had a dream I was looking at a future me Poor old me, going down the street Chasing blueprints of better dreams Couldn't wake up, was choking on an ocean of anguish… Poor old me, drowning in a sea of expectations and agony Don't wake me, I'll save the past from the trap I’ve set myself

Every inch of your body is full of something I can’t ignore The amount of void leads you complete Is the same strength that drives you weak… Your circle pit of endless fun Sponsored by your dad and mom Bleeding every cent they got, at least you are on the spot If I could instil sense into your eyes To see how pathetic you are… Your plastic dreams won’t last long Reality can’t make it work Pretty useless, you are all An army of fools ready to fall Pretty useless, you are all An army of fools ready to fall

Leper Love 01:52
Can't you built a better lie? This one has gone too far. Your heart beats only in the pockets of desperate folks who are just like you! Welcome to the leper love the legacy of hypocrisy Welcome to your brand new void a total lack of sanity Why don't you set yourself on fire, and spare us from your desire? You can fool all of them for a while, but you fake life even in a smile! It's a shame we share the same air, worms like you are almost everywhere, Fulfilling space with rotten existence, With brainless pairs of poor rich brats!

Each Day 02:43
So this is how it goes, the pinnacle of human race Sitting on barrels of gunpowder, lighting cigarettes The further we advance, the more nothing ever lasts We better hurry up my friend, toward nowhere fast Each day, a forgotten yesterday I'll kill every thought of past on my way So this is how it went, completely down the drain A collective loneliness, drifting us away The worse we become, the better we used to be Evolution is now laughing, at you and me Each day, we forget yesterday We both killed every hope upon a better way

Lack 02:07
I'm aware, I care. I lose control and then despair. Turning into something I ain't. It's a catharsis without an end… I've been there, I swear... That I do the best I can. There's nothing worse to me than seeing you fighting my worst enemy... I feel so bad, so sad It's like a part of me is dead. A point of no return about everything I've become...
7.
Well, fuck it! Won't go away... ...and leave nothing I'm miles away from what I am Confusion sets in, destroys my day Can't take it! Oh, not again... ...please stop it Why this feeling blinds my way? Depression visits me, controls my brain I hate this! Never ends... ...I’ve gotta breathe Years away from... what am I? My reason is pitch-black and panic spreads Divided by zero, then zero again... If you can handle it, please show the way

Empty Colors 03:13
All the years that we've been through and all the things in life I can't erase them all… away Many times that we've lost it, And all the times that we've forgotten how to lose… this pain Lost between the empty colors Like a photograph without its content… and frame Seeing you not seeing me, It's like dying and awakening in a bad… dream The darkest day will come And there is nothing I can do but holding on… to you Let the memories guide you through, Even though the lights are out but I'm not… I'm here
9.
You're the type of person, who ain't my type Got an evil greed and a brainwashed heart. You're a waste of everyone's time 'Til there is nobody left in line All you've ever done, and all you'll ever do is something always wrong... it ain't right, you fool. You're the kind of person who ain't kind Got a weird and vague sense of life. What a waste of ink to rhyme. How can you live with your own lies? How the hell do you sleep at night? With such a black hole in your mind sucking every fucking point of light Your end of the line is a blank sky.
