Spineless 03:53
It all began with a ghastly feeling, A baleful vibration from deep within, A fire raging against my skin, Pealing my patience, my faith is struggling How is it possible, how is it possible to Drift out of this mess Dismiss every ounce of weakness I'm ill and restless Until I surrender my senses Should I hold on to my dreams I'm bound to sink with my boulders and let the pain carry me Waiting for echoes in... So there it sways, the first wind to blow Twisting my mind it bewilders my flow Stripped of all will, it pulls and it peals, I’m torn apart by its tornado! Dawn wakes me up and my guilt nails me down Tomorrow may be I will... Drift out of this mess Dismiss every ounce of weakness I'm ill and restless Until I surrender my senses Should I hold on to my dreams I'm bound to sink with my boulders and let the pain Carry me Waiting for echoes in... I followed you into your lair As I Always knew the fare To sate this need is like filling with emptiness I'm now aware, I'm now aware ! You'll never be satisfied, no more lies... I'll never be satisfied, still we try... It all began with this ghastly feeling I should face it now before it sucks me in Drift out of this mess Dismiss every ounce of weakness I’m ill and restless Until I surrender my senses Should I hold on to my dreams I'm bound to sink with my boulders and let the pain Carry me Waiting for echoes in... EMPTINESS

The Game 03:51
There's an elephant in the room, Should we talk about it? I see you teasing the animal Should I take it as a dare? The further you go; the deeper I doubt This need to cheat at the brink of a fault It deepens our doubts, no denying: You crave to do without There's a poker hand with a jack and queen But no king in between And as faith and luck collide A river king could turn the tide The further you go; the deeper I doubt This need to cheat at the brink of a fault It deepens our doubts, no denying: You crave to do without Being two instead of three i want it fiercely The way you're teasing me, the king would burry me There's a poker hand with a jack and queen But no king in between And As faith and luck collide A river king could turn the tide There's an elephant in the room Let's go crazy about it The further you go; the deeper I doubt A need to cheat at the brink of a fault It deepens our doubts, No denying...

I'm walking dumb, numb loaded All lights and sound distorted It breaks somewhere between my skull and I Nobody wants to stay in a stagnant state Forgetting the wanted fate So why would I, Why would I Show me how to cut corners Show me how to reap what I didn't sow Show me how to skip all the steps and trick the fights If you expect me to be patient, then you forgot the world we're living in Where results can be bought... Another magic pill, another fullfilment There's no more useless terms* Show me how to cut corners Show me how to reap what I didn't sow Show me how to skip all the steps and trick the fights Let me gather where I did not scatter Bring me your file, Where can I sign? Where!? I'm WAY more than a human I'm a Babylonian Only pleasure matters, I want it more and more and more! How intense... Show me something insane, Come on shoot me up until it's all the same Is sane the same as insane; am I sane or insane We're all spiders on windows laid between the sky and the void Where there's no place for shadows and all the things we avoid I feel helpless as the crack grows The glass is weak, it's too weak I'll break through the void I'll break through unless you show me how to reap where I didn't sow Show me how to cut corners! Show me how to skip all the steps and trick the fights! Let me gather where I did not scatter Bring me your file, Where can I sign? BRING ME YOUR FILE WHERE CAN I SIGN *and conditions

Criminal 03:10
I wanna be a criminal Who's fly from time to time I’m becoming an animal Who glides from rhyme to crime Barefoot in the mire, A foggy desire, Belvedere's strobing, Revealing Hearts on discount... Is it that I'm tired An illusion so far The Backstreet's whispering: "Let me show you what's behind the lies you hide inside" I wanna be a criminal Who's fly from time to time I’m becoming an animal Who glides from rhyme to crime Let's hope one day I’ll realize That I’m like oil on fire A spark turns me on Bursting what’s left of my mind I found a weird family who has it all to please me All I could do was agree to their ensnaring creed, Keeping focus on their entertainment, Serving the circus as a client I wanna be a criminal Who's fly from time to time I’m becoming an animal Who glides from rhyme to crime Let's hope one day I’ll realize That I’m like oil on fire A spark turns me on, a spark turns me on Bursting what’s left of my mind Can a man be more depraved? I’ve lost my origins, traded them for another skin Am I the one who betrays? In a game played like a race amongst those familiar faces! Who gave me everything From the Craddle to the grave I found a weird family who has it all to please me All I could do is agree to their ensnaring creed I've lost my focus on my entertainment When the laughter’s reduced to silence I wanna be a criminal Who's fly from time to time I’m becoming an animal Who glides from rhyme to crime Let's hope one day I’ll realize That I’m like oil on fire A spark turns me on, a spark turns me on Bursting what’s left of my mind

Treasure 03:48
We were born from atomic bombs Far from a baby boom with a hippie tongue Rushing down a mislead Highway Blinders on, yet I can see Through the shades of a perfect world Made for its designers My rise is straining at their leach 'cause they fear what I could reach I suffocate, they're smothering me I need to breath, I need to leave! We'll find that dreamer's road As we roam across the desert Where mind and wind blow freely There'll be no ease, we'll take our chance Until we find that Treasure At the edge of a new horizon, Breaking out of the city’s gloom I still feel sick, intoxicated I need a cure, where should I go!? We'll find that dreamer's road As we roam across the desert Where mind and wind blow freely There'll be no ease, we'll take our chance Until we find that Treasure I need to keep my senses clear In the idleness of my mind distant voices throw back their fears some will get lost but some will find Their own path beyond the line We’ve got broken chemical bounds! the radiation, mutation has damaged the entire human race!! We were born from atomic bombs... We'll find that dreamer's road As we roam across the desert Where mind and wind blow freely There'll be no ease, we'll take our chance Until we find that Treasure
