Anguish 03:30
νοσταλγία μελαγχολία φόβος κρίση σύγχυση λύπη δυστυχία απελπισία βασανιστήριο μετάνοια μαρτυρίου κλάμα και θλίψη κραυγή και οδύνη κούραση εξάντληση τρόμος διαμάχη θυμός οργή τραύμα πάλη άγχος πικρία αναισθησία θρήνος πόνος καταστροφή κατάθλιψη αθλιότητα συμφορά και ατυχία θάνατος σιγαλιά τέλος

Maelstrom 01:08
Dear friend: If you are listening to this, it means that we have both survived. Having fallen into the depths of the abyss I hardly have the strength to speak these words. The panic, the anxiety, the anguish I felt are unparalleled with anything I have ever experienced. I'm lucky to be alive, it's true. But what has really happened? My memories are hazy, uncertain. They were difficult times and I know they have been for you too. That is why it is so important that we keep those experiences in our memories. This is the proof of our strength. It is the document of our survival. The descent into the whirlpool and the ascent to the surface. In the future every time we fall we will ask ourselves: "Do you remember the maelstrom?" And now... Do you...?

One more light that might go off inside of me The story has not changed and I left the past tense behind your eyes and so far from here So many times pretending was too demanding One more voice that has answered inside of me It only has deceived me Has not forgiven to be a shadow under my skin So many times pretending was too demanding Death is just one second and it lasts forever I can’t stand it, I just can’t, there must be something else I’m not trying to be better, I’m not even clever I’m just looking at the stars, is it true that you’re waiting for me? I want to do what I don’t want to say I’ll ruin my life if I must But I just keep contradicting myself I’m not the one you should trust
4.
This is the first day of my eternal loneliness This is the first day of a whole lifetime without you I don’t know what really happened I’m sure that I didn’t dream it Your face melted with the sunlight And the morning air made me sick I guess we do it better in the dark But let the ghosts answer that for me Tonight I will think for the both of us Tonight I will love for the both of us Tonight I will dream for you and for me Tonight...

Pieces 02:49
Pick up the pieces of my broken heart This is the time to cry out loud...
6.
Half 04:36
In the city, half past midnight, half her life has gone away Found replacement for past lovers Found a treatment for her pain Half a bottle for half a person And half a smile for half the price Something has to fill the picture Where’s the other half to make things right? In the city, half past midnight, half his youth has gone away Found replacement for his ideals Found a way to hide his shame Half a bottle for half a person And half a smile for half the price Something has to fill the picture Where’s the other half to make things right? Bits and pieces, cheap excuses Nothing whole and nothing real Only surface, nothing deeper, only surface
7.
X 04:13
My senses are open to signs I can’t read My body is longing for touches and sin Flesh is so weak, or so they say But in the state I’m in my spirit is weaker And this new old feeling takes over me Torments me, absorbs me, revives me and haunts me Transforming... I can’t help but feel I’m left out alone And all the pleasures I could have known Are nothing but guesses of what might have been Why did I give up when I should have given in? And this new old feeling takes over me Torments me, absorbs me, revives me and haunts me Transforming...
8.
Just Don't 04:46
How many more do you have to kill before is too late? How many more do you have to invade to justify your hate? When there’s no one left and nowhere else to go At least it will end and you will be alone And I just want to know, just want to know, just want to And I don’t want to know, don’t want to know, don’t want to I just want to know, just want to know, just want to I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know You want me to wear a yellow star, like others before I keep throwing bottles on the beach with the sounds of war Thank god I still find mirrors in the sea This battle is lost but you will pay for it And I just want to know, just want to know, just want to And I don’t want to know, don’t want to know, don’t want to I just want to know, just want to know, just want to I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know

Spring 04:27
Wings of an ordinary daydream, nothing else is what it seems I’ve been looking for a chance to wash my hands And look upon those times that went away All my thoughts go round and round, a king without his crown Sleep, feel the colours of the dead spring Now you see what I can see But you never really cared to trust yourself And to let go the ghosts stuck in your head All my world is falling down, turning upside down All the magic that surrounds us, it just vanished from our hands So you start to lose control All the things to carry on the life built in your head All my truths are coming down, a stranger in this town
