Giving Me 02:50
You made my life a living hell You pressured me until I fell When will you understand? My life has hit into descend You got all the things you wanted And I never got anything You may have your popularity But I just wanna sing You’re giving me Confusion Disillusion You’re giving me a headache A headache You’re giving me Exhaustion No explanation To why you’re pushing me Into this dead-end world (Into this dead-end world) (Into this dead-end world) I’m counting all the days That you and I decided to betray I didn’t know who was right But there sure was no delight What did you have against me? People don’t do the same old things We both have our differences But I just wanna sing You’re giving me Confusion Disillusion You’re giving me a headache A headache You’re giving me Exhaustion No explanation To why you’re pushing me Into this dead-end world Disarray Fall Away Tragedy Misery Fall away into my misery I can’t bare this pain Blood overflows my vein But soon you will step away Go home, it’ll make my day But now You’re giving me Confusion Disillusion You’re giving me a headache A headache You’re giving me Exhaustion No explanation To why you’re pushing me Into this dead-end World I live in Stop believing Help me breathe in In this dead end World I live in My heart’s beating I’m receiving Misery

Find My Soul 03:27
I’m in this place alone Nowhere near my home I’m just a guy with nothing to live for These dark and shallow walls They crumble and they fall Please just get me out I don’t want more Because my life is a panic room I always end up being the fool Find my soul Down this hole Back in the good old days There were no delays But without warning that just fell apart And now I walk this road These white lines, they’ve corroded And now my life has imploded along with my heart Because my life is a panic room I always end up being the fool Find my soul Down this hole Save me from this burning ember Help me I have lost my temper Find my soul Down this hole I’m in this place alone Nowhere near my home I’m just a guy with nothing to live for Because my life is a panic room I always end up being the fool Find my soul Down this hole Save me from this burning ember Help me I have lost my temper Find my soul Down this hole Save me now Help me now Don’t look back Just keep on track Save me now Help me now Don’t look back Just keep on track Save me from this burning ember Help me I have lost my temper Find my soul Down this hole

The Fall 03:00
6 weeks have passed And so has this vacation We’re back into reality We’re back into desperation You’re on a one-way one-way ticket To your misery But you won’t know As you’re blind from your fantasy We know who’s right It’s the end of your flight Summer doesn’t last forever Everybody loved it all And now we’re waiting We’re waiting for the fall You never listened And now you’re paying the price Crash-landed, ran away No choice You’re on a one-way one-way ticket To your tragedy But you won’t know As you’re blind from your fantasy We know who’s right It’s the end of your flight You came and saw Then you missed it all Summer doesn’t last forever Everybody loved it all And now we’re waiting We’re waiting for the fall We’re waiting for the fall The fall We’re waiting for the fall We’re waiting for the fall The fall The fall The fall The fall

Where there’s life, there’s death There’s nothing you can do Love it, or hate it It always has to be true But you just have to live with it Even if you’re pathetic or even if you’re full of shit Why am I so drowned by your storm? You’re facing failure in your city of history Drag your pain through your lies But carry on cos you’ll never know about me Drag your pain until you die You’re just a curse of your mind Nobody like a deadbeat Cruel minded and cold-hearted It drops down to your feet But you just have to live with it Cos your hatred will never turn into a profit Why is this so disillusioning? You’re facing failure in your city of history Drag your pain through your lies But carry on cos you’ll never know about me Drag your pain until you die No more truth No more lies No more brutal times No more love No more friends Cos they’re all dead Why am I so drowned by your storm? Your time is up But who will be there for you No one Cos they don’t have a clue Why is this so disillusioning? You wonder why Nobody is there for you No one Cos they’re all dead You’re facing failure in your city of history Drag your pain through your lies But carry on cos you’ll never know about me Drag your pain until you die You’re facing failure in your life of tragedy But carry on cos you’ll never know about me Drag your pain out of your eyes No more truth No more lies No more brutal times No more love No more friends No more

It’s been over a year and I’m not fine Wondering why I’ve stepped out of line You don’t know what I’ve been going through Losing myself nearly gone insane But I know for a fact I’m not to blame I don’t know why you never knew But I’ve tried dealing with this But you don’t care what you’ve missed I’m feeling sorry for myself Cos the truth hurts Cos the truth hurts Can you understand my pain? I’m falling down like the rain I don’t know if I’ll hold on Cos the truth hurts You’ve taken over happiness And you’ve made this life a mess I don’t know if I’ll hold on Did you know about the past? The words you said will always last It’s time you rethink about what you said When will this become the last time I remain alone You may be laughing but inside you’re dead But I’ve been dealing with this But you don’t care what you’ve missed If death is peaceful then I’m alive Cos the truth hurts Can you understand my pain? I’m falling down like the rain I don’t know if I’ll hold on Cos the truth hurts You’ve taken over happiness And you’ve made this life a mess I don’t know if I’ll hold on But I’m holding on But I’m holding on But I’m holding on Woah One life, one death, you’re next It’s time you rethink about what you said Cos the truth hurts Did you understand my pain? I’ve fallen down like the rain But I know I’m holding on Cos the truth hurts You once had happiness And this life was once a mess I know I’m holding on One life, one death, you’re next

What’s there to fear? What is there? To fear Do you know? But I know Don’t say a word to me It only works when you silence Do you know? But I know Don’t say a word to me

Together 04:28
I thought you were the only one for me But after time that wasn’t meant to be I’m just a quiet, common, sensitive guy But that didn’t stop me from trying To make this work My memory when we first met Was all so very blurred But you taught me how to be the one I now know as the conquered Our friendship developed And so did our love Would anything stop us? Would anything push and shove I once thought Just us two We would stay together But as time went So did us Would we still talk together? I know the pretty girl Is nothing but the world Oh it’s true I still have feelings for you Now I must have been blind To know that you weren’t for real But I soldiered on and coped With these emotions that I feel About you Oh I still do You may not think about me but I still think about you You seem so close But to me you’re nowhere near I can’t handle this Tell me what I want to hear You seem so close But to me you’re far away I can’t handle this You need to know what I have to say Would I dare hurt you? Cos I care for you I once thought Just us two We would stay together But as time went So did us Would we still talk together? I know the pretty girl Is nothing but the world Oh it’s true I still have feelings for you I thought you were the only one for me But after time that wasn’t meant to be I’m just a quiet, common, sensitive guy But that never stopped me from trying

You left me on the street I got blisters on my feet But how strange is it That you’re meant to be looking after me I came into this world from your creation 15 years of complication I can’t believe that you left me here There’s no chance For a second glance Now that I’m gone I write a song About your failure Now I see who you really are You’re the two faced kind And all the trouble you have caused I want you out of my mind Do you know who you really are? Our memories are so bad I want something else You’re the worst I’ve ever had I tried forgetting about you I tried looking for something to do But how tough is it? That misery is looking after me I know you don’t care that I’m gone Does your heart tell you that you’re wrong? I can’t believe that you left me here There’s no chance For a second glance Now that I’m gone I sing this song To let you know about your failure Now I see who you really are You’re the two faced kind And all the trouble you have caused I want you out of my mind Do you know who you really are? Our memories are so bad I want something else You’re the worst I’ve ever had I’ve ever had Now I see who you really are You’re the two faced kind And all the bad things you have brought I want you out of my mind Do you know who you really are? Our memories are so bad I want something else You’re the worst I’ve ever had

I Hate You 02:12
Falling times are what you get from me Receive the hate that sets me free Have no escape from your broken well No way out, find your hell You think that you can fly But I want you to cry You sicken me with your dumb shitty eyes No emotion on your face You fucking disgrace Take all the bad things and go die Oh you thought you were the best Chances are that you were loved by the rest You stole my habits and my friends Go home and let this fucking feud end You think that you can fly But I want you to cry You sicken me with your dumb shitty eyes No emotion on your face You fucking disgrace Take all my pain and go fuck off You think that you can fly But I want you to cry You sicken me with your dumb shitty eyes No emotion on your face You fucking disgrace I hate you!

Bad Friend 03:20
If you tell me how to behave I won’t listen to a word It makes things complicated Don’t try to tell me what’s right I can only hear a noise You’re so belated STOP! 1, 2, 3 GO! You’re in my face! Do you know how stupid you how are You always take things too far You’re full of yourself; you think you’re a star So tell me now where is your heart? Just set me free From this prison of calamity But history Shows nothing You’re right here You’re so near You fill me with such fear Don’t reel me in If you tell me how to behave I won’t listen to a word It makes things complicated Don’t try to tell me what’s right I can only hear a noise You’re so belated You set me up! And I did nothing wrong And our friendship is gone What friendship? There was never one! Just let me go From this hell of your ego But what does it show? Nothing You’re right here You’re so near You fill me with such fear Don’t reel me in If you tell me how to behave I won’t listen to a word It makes things complicated Don’t try to tell me what’s right I can only hear a noise You’re so overrated Listen up! Nobody cares about what you think You’re opinions will shrink WHO CARES!! DEMON!! Do you remember those words you said? You may be laughing, but inside, you’re dead. If you tell me how to behave I won’t listen to a word It makes things complicated Don’t try to tell me what’s right (Don’t tell me) I can only hear a noise You’re so belated

Reincarnate 03:03
I take this heart And break it apart Before I leave you with this body Don’t make me wait Until my fate Decides the outcome of this life When I’m gone I leave you With this note And it says “Will you stay right near me please?” Until I reincarnate I hope this will end the right way But it’s not too late I will come back another day They take my pain But there’s no gain Cos I’m already lifeless But move from the past Cos this is not the last You’ll hear of me another time When I’m gone I leave you With this note And it says “Will you remain by my side?” Until I reincarnate I hope this will end the right way But it’s not too late I will come back another day When I come Back to you Will we be? Back as two “Will you stay with me all the way?” Until I reincarnate I hope this will end the right way But it’s not too late I will come back Until I reincarnate If you stay with me all the way Then we’re forever I will come back another day But don’t lose Faith in me Cos I’ll always be around Keep yourself Alert Just listen to this sound

When I fought and I thought we could work things out But to what cost When I fought and I thought we could work things out Causes were lost None of our memories will ever die Our hearts will heal after time Cos I’d be lying if I said I never loved you Look into the past and remember the truth I’d be lying if I said we should start things again I know we’re just too different But I wanna know if you’re doing fine We have gotta move on but I know it takes time But I would rather have you in my life Than never to have known you at all When I sit here alone I will reminisce I miss your smile But I know what can heal a broken heart It will take a while None of our memories will ever die Our hearts will heal after time And if that time comes when everything will be just fine Would we meet each other again and be just fine Cos I’d be lying if I said I never loved you Look into the past and remember the truth I’d be lying if I said we should start things again I know we’re different Cos I’d be lying if I said I never loved you Look into the past and remember the truth I’d be lying if I said we should start things again I know we’re just too different But I wanna know if you’re doing fine We have gotta move on but I know it takes time But I would rather have you in my life Than never to have known you at all I’d be lying if I said I never loved you I will look into the past and remember the truth I’d be lying if I said I never loved you I will look into the past and remember the truth I’d be lying if I said I never loved you I will look into the past and remember the truth I’d be lying if I said I never loved you I will look into the past and remember the truth But I wanna know if you’re doing fine We have gotta move on but I know it takes time But I would rather have you in my life Than never to have known you at all I’d be lying if I said I never loved you I will look into the past and remember the truth I’d be lying if I said I never loved you
