You're Just Not There 04:18
lyrics
You’re just not there The only thing I remember of that cloudy morning is you walking out that old wooden door I didn’t know what to say so I just sat and stared And it hurts to know that those nights meant nothing to you I can’t deny that my heart is still warm, I can’t pretend that those nights didn’t hurt And now I roam these streets alone, just to never see you again I search for answers in the past, but all I find is broken dreams and regrets I still write my pain endlessly, but I’m aware I’m doing it in vain Your shadow is cast on my walls like you never left me, but you’re just not there Your shadow is cast on my walls like you never left me, so let me go How I wish we could live forever in that old pic, lost in time But life goes on and we forget those little things And it hurts to know that I lost you Your shadow is cast on my walls like you never left me, but you’re just not there Your shadow is cast on my walls like you never left me, so let me go But you’re just not there I never know what to say, so I just sit and stare You never say what I need, so I just sit and stare

H.O.M.E. 04:09
lyrics
We need some room for our hell made of concrete, we exploit what we don’t own and put a price on it You cut my lungs, set it all on fire, I can’t no longer breathe, but if I die you all will die with me Raise your head to the sky, can you see the dark? Can you see the night? Or are your eyes blurred by an unnatural light? No more the stars will float on the horizon, we seized the sky to build our monument to waste My rivers are woven together like the veins in your arms, but inside them it doesn't flow blood, it flows the poison of your greed Threading the needle deeper and deeper in search for black gold, and when it's gone we'll say we hadn’t been told The freedom of not having to choose, thinking replaced by the worship of a god made of paper and copper Standing all together at the edge of the abyss, just a few more steps and there will be no way back (We don’t care) Learn from your mistakes, I’ll keep turning without you, so wisely choose your own fate No, not me, not us, not today Maybe it’s high time for us to concern about common health and not only about our wealth

Gravity Won't Forgive (feat. Mattia Zambon) 04:03
lyrics
Waste my day for minimum wage? No thanks, I’d rather be broke than to be a slave. Does this sound so sick to you? I see, you’re the way they need you to be. Obey the rules, turn off your brain, make no mistakes Hold tight your gold before the ground breaks, bow down to the crown. There is no choice, obey the rules; always be silent and obey the rules Is this living the dream? (Is this the life we must lead?) Just slave away to the grave (we've hit an all new low) With broken bones and minds erased Is this living the dream? As we build your throne, please tell us what we want and need When the rich blames the poor, it’s the end of the world, time to feed your greed Shut up, you’re not paid to think, you have to stand in line. Show no respect. “Advertise for us and we’ll pretend we care”, it isn’t just, it just is. We bled ourselves dry to satisfy your thirst, but we’ve had enough. Now it’s time to educate the masses, execute the masters. Is this living the dream? (Is this the life we must lead?) Just slave away to the grave (we've hit an all new low) With broken bones and minds erased Is this living the dream? They sold our souls and we forget ‘Cause we’re too brainwashed to regret (Show your true face) The parasites have become vultures (Show your true face) Greedy wolves ready to feast on the weak (Show your true face) No worse mistake than let the blind lead (Show your true face) Preaching misery while dressed in gold (Show your true face) This is a rat race and you’re the rats And I really hope there is a hell, ‘cause I want to watch you fucking burn forever You put yourself on a pedestal, but gravity won’t forgive

Whispers 03:54
lyrics
We’re all only whispers that life doesn't listen You used to live each day as if death would never think about you, but then something changed Woke up one day not feeling the same, can you face this on your own? It’s like a ghost that dwells deep inside, you can fight but you can’t hide. Do you wish the waves took it away? It’s like a leech that grows silently, violently, but I’m by your side Don’t let the weight of all your doubts consume you on sleepless nights Be aware of the frailty of men, so hold on onto ourselves And you seem to get better, but it’s only getting worse, "Oh god what did I to deserve this curse?” You try your best, but your world is caving in, “Will I brave this storm or will I sink in pain?” And you cry, and you strive, but it thrives, and I know you’re feeling low but try just not to let go And I know you’re feeling low but please just not don’t let go. No matter what they say, I won’t dig another early grave Don’t let go And your mind gets heavier at night, when you’re left alone with your thoughts one again. The past blends with the future, your pain seems meaningless because we make our own meanings and we take them with us when we assail the void and are absorbed again into the universe, but just know that I’m right by your side Don’t let the weight of all your doubts consume you on sleepless nights Be aware of the frailty of men, so hold on onto ourselves

Never Had Wings 04:04
lyrics
I feel time slipping through my hands, seasons are slowly wrapping, it's like I'm paralyzed Can’t move forward, can’t be left behind, hard times for a dreamer, no chance to shine What did I do wrong? But did I do something wrong at all? Or my only fault is to have tried for too long? Break my bones, drain my veins, pierce my chest with burning knives, I’ve already done it all to myself before Write on my grave “he could not have been saved”; or don’t even bother, no one will read it anyway Force my ghost to bury my heart in the coldest ice so I can watch the fire die Like drowning in the sand, years slipping through my hands, so many seasons passed me by, and I’m not killing time but time is killing me and I guess misery is free Can the water wash away the weight of days I’ll waste? I truly believed I meant something to someone but I mistook a firefly for the sun, I am nothing to no one Wanting to soar in the sky but never had wings If I learnt one thing is the more you hope, the more you hurt I am homesick for a skin I’ve never touched and a heart I’ve never dwelled in Like drowning in the sand, years slipping through my hands, so many seasons passed me by, and I’m not killing time but time is killing me and I guess misery is free Can the water wash away the weight of days I’ll waste? I truly believed I meant something to someone but I mistook a firefly for the sun, I am nothing to no one But if I showed you my fears would you still leave me here to bleed alone? Would you still leave me here to bleed alone? Bury my heart in the coldest ice so I can watch the fire die Choke the light so my eyes can hide in the eternal night (I can't see any light, hard times for dreamers)
