Stop Shrinking

Melodies aren’t so sweet anymore
If you thought you were a dreamer
You might be wrong
Forget the magic, put on a shirt
The show must go on, come on board
Stop shrinking to fit in
Illusions can make you sick
Stop pleasing people around
They want you as you can’t be
I am picking up the pieces of your neglected hearth
Get rid of their opinions
That bring you down
Stop shrinking to fit in
Illusions can make you sick
Stop pleasing people around
They want you as you can’t be

Stubborn

There's a the reason why
I cannot sleep at night
Pictures from the past, a wistfulness that lasts
You started drawing lines
I didn't dare to cross the line
It wasn't so fun
I am a stubborn, you are not
Counting sheep at night
Won't save me from despair
I am dreaming of two trains that collide but I survive
Shaking off my old fears
In a new atmosphere
I survived twice twice
It wasn't, so fun
If you don't see love, you're stubborn
Embrace it, you moron
I am leaving for my good

At Rest
02:37

I dream I brake but I can't slow down
The car is moving way too fast
it speeds out of control
My heartbeat is racing at rest
No matter how hard I press this brake
The car can't stop and now it's too late
My head spins around
My heartbeat is racing, it's bad
This message is clear or maybe it's not
Can you hear the sudden wake up call? Before it’s too late
My heartbeat is racing at rest, it’s bad
Can you hear it?

In a state of fear
I spoke to a God
As faithless as I was I found treasure in the dark
Lost, I needed faith
Just enough to breath
I got a reason to live
There’s a kind of love that I still breath in
All this brand new hope,
I feel pure
At first all I I saw were six men in black
My heavy heart was filled with agony, grief and dread
Losing track of time, we walked for 50 days
A sudden ray of light just came and lighten up my way
There’s a kind of love that I still breath in
All this brand new hope
I feel pure
I am going back to the dirty tongues
I am fighting back all the dirty tongues
I wanna kill all the dirty tongues
Finally I can see the sunlight, I can walk in the next room and hug my mom
My faith grew stronger
I won't let your hate turn me into a prisoner again
There’s a kind of love that I still breath in
All this brand new hope
I am pure

You Are an Idea
03:22

I want to write about you and I, about other times
Eleven years have gone by
And all the images become blurred and dull
But I remember so well
And I remember all
Yes every single smell
And every time you groaned
I want to write about frailty when love is deep
I paint a picture, an idea
It helps me tell you what's real
you are not real
But I remember so well and I remember all
yes, every single smell
every time we fought
I stand apart
Thoughts crowd my mind
I can't help it
You can't help it
A brand new day
You're now ghost that lives somewhere
But I remember so well
And I remember all
Yes every single smell
And every time we fought

Open Sore
03:21

I am wrong and you are right
I wear black and you white
I am dead you are alive
I am alone you're just fine
But tonight I might be able to gather all my stuff up for a campfire
I am heading west
You look stable now
Are you stable now?
You own a rifle
a big household
I am like an open sore
Left to dry up in the sun
I’m like a lonely bird
Or a desolate shore
But tonight I might be able to take over my life and run, so far
And make things right
Am I crazy now?
Am I the crazy one?
I got no rifle
Fuck your rifles
I am like an open sore
Left to dry up in the sun
I’m like a lonely bird
Or a desolate shore

Drift Away
02:45

Skeptics don't believe that I hired a new gatekeeper for my empire
I go there at night when outside it's pouring rain, it's nice inside
But people say that I'm insane,
They stay away
My magic world is safe and warm,
I drift away
Joyful and blessed
I dance all day long with funny friends
Everyone is polite, no more fights
A vast blue sky
An open mind
Skeptics don’t believe that I hired a new gatekeeper for my empire
I go there at night when outside it’s pouring rain, it’s nice inside
