Show me the way Cause everything is too dark to see I'm sick to be threated like everything depends on me Everything that I hate is everything you want me to be Everything is too dark to see. I'm leaving this place All of these days When I used to wake me up and carry on Now that I face it Can't stand the pressure But hey, let's raise your voice up in the air I'm living it up let's see it Who's gonna be the one to win this I've waited hanged on my rope Writing goodbyes on the wall I'm not that strong But hey, let's raise your voice up in the air I'm living it up let's see it Who's gonna be the one to win this FUCK I've waited hanged on my rope Writing goodbyes on the wall I'm not that strong.

Disease 03:29
Nothing is safe in here My mind starts to failing Nothing is safe in here My stomach is burning I'm sick of letting myself going into the waste Everything that I used to hate Become everything that I praise Keep push me under I'll never learn Keep push me under Or lay with me but don't get so closer Come and take my hand Or let me burn again But it's not the end, it's not the end I've got a new disease inside my bones I feel so empty like never before Nothing is safe in here My stomach is burning Push me fucking under Sometimes I feel like giving up on myself Is the only thing left We drink away the pain just to forget the answers I'm a walking mess, just watch me burn I've got a new disease. Come and take my hand Or let me burn again But it's not the end, it's not the end I've got a new disease inside my bones I feel so empty like never before

November 03:15
For all that I fear But I'm here to make a stand For all the compromises My eyes still shine brighter For all that I give I can trust my place at home No longer I'll be afraid until you're by my side I've spent days in the last year alone with myself Just to say that I'm sorry I'm so sorry I've been here for far too long But for many faces I was just passing through Left alone I hate the person in my mind There's poison in my words for everything I left behind For all that I fear But I'm here to make a stand For all the compromises My eyes still shine brighter For all that I give I can trust my place at home No longer I'll be afraid until you're by my side Don't try to blame me If I'm not the one you used to know It feels like November Every fucking day. One more song The last time that I saw you, I have failed you One more song To release these feelings that keep on growing. For all that I fear But I'm here to make a stand For all the compromises My eyes still shine brighter For all that I give I can trust my place at home No longer I'll be afraid until you're by my side I've spent days in the last year alone with myself Just to say that I'm sorry I'm so sorry

All of my hopes are crashing down I feel lost losing myself in this sound I've been waiting asleep for too much time Tonight we're giving it all Let's live with no more remorse. Breathing new air Filling the hole inside my chest But I'm sinking faster The water rises and it keeps me under I found comfort in these anxieties My fears walk beside me There's more to discover Then waste my life before it's over All of my hopes are crashing down I feel lost losing myself in this sound I've been waiting asleep for too much time Tonight we're giving it all Let's live with no more remorse. Don't try to put me through I was building walls just to tear them down Like a storm in my head It comes down on me. We've got to strike the skies To write the glory of all these memories They can't be lost. Forgive me for my intentions If I let you worry about me Since the day that I lost my faith I gave up on me. But this is not the end of our time This is not the part where we scream a goodbye. We saw the shorelines, the cities, the countries and the tears. This is the part where we scream for our freedom Cause we're young, we're carefree Our time will be now or never. For what we're standing The places we have seen We're only ashes, I'm nothing, I'm nothing. These days we've spent I'll take them to my grave We're only ashes, I'm nothing but mistakes.

Empty Places 03:43
Forget everything about future Forget everything about me. This place is not the same as it used to be The streets are empty, everyone that we knew is everyone that is going Days grow shorter, this was not the planes for our destiny We all knew this life held sacrifice And we'll stand out here singing This is my chance and I cannot fail, this is my shot and I’m walking straight This is our war to win, this is our life to lead. This is my chance and I cannot fail, this is my shot and I’m walking straight For all the time we spent and the answers find inside it. Sometimes I feel like I'm dying slowly I miss the countries and the people we met I've got a new light in my eyes Goodbye to my dear despise. This is my chance and I cannot fail, this is my shot and I’m walking straight This is our war to win, this is our life to lead. This is my chance and I cannot fail, this is my shot and I’m walking straight For all the time we spent and the answers find inside it. Young at heart, and we'll never rest until we're buried It's not about the success, It's all about the memories Forget everything about me. Always on knees, is this our destination? Constantly falling, there's more to this than all the failures. And when the curtain will be close for the last time I'll look at these pieces, they're all marked on my skin. Always on knees, is this our destination? Constantly falling, there's more to this than all the failures.

Selfmade in a world of failures It's our time to, it’s our time to To wake and rise Everyday you have this weight that push you down They can't hear and never understand you There's only one life to live Make it fucking worth it. This is for my brothers the travels, the days shared and all the blood we spat This is for the people like me There will always be a light at the end of the tunnel. Selfmade in a world of failures It's our time to, it’s our time to To wake and rise Come back to the good old times Younger and so clean from the scars of our time When we had someone to protect Years after years they only tell you? How many times do I have to tell you? This life is a blank page I can say I tried when the world gives up on me. They built us a cage But now we'll fucking break it They built us a cage Break it. CARRY ON. I still got nothing to lose All the hate, all the fate are buried in the last years Wake up now! Do you wanna me to fail well look at me today. Selfmade in a world of failures It's our time to, it’s our time to To wake and rise And if you think that this will end tomorrow The dreams are shooting stars We have the passion We're young at heart.

Fall Apart 02:59
And since the last words have been speak loud I saw your face disappear in the crowd. It's hard to face that I deserve this Not so hard to comprehend how you can fucking hate me. The pictures hanged on the wall The memories haunt my broken home. I start to wondering where will they go I'm trembling. But I'm not afraid, I’m not afraid I'll move as forward as I can from this state. But then a tear, a single tear The curtain closes, it's only me. This emptiness that I feel It is part of me, it lives in me. I'm still afraid for that day That I'll wave goodbye to you. I watched you fall apart Take care of me, it's burning my soul. I used to fight, I used to pray Asking your God, why am I so wrong?

I'm sick, I'm sick I'm sick to pay attention These filthy cowards run their mouth While we're goin' to none direction Some people say that the future's in the youth But they're messing our place around We are the bastards of a nation. Why can't you see? If it's a war that you want, then it's a war that we will bring Why did you let them win? Every new day is a chance to change our reality. Dead bodies fall and we're just staring at them. Their guns still shot, here it goes another men. We all find peace somewhere deep in our soul, so sing.. Trapped in a world where I don’t belong Keep your hands clean from the blood of their murder. All the words you say feels like knifes in my back With all the shits you're giving you should better shut your mouth. Their blood is running down these streets And we're not fucking doing anything Every man should be the king of his own damned destiny But if you want this crown, you gotta rip off my head The way you use your authority All the abuse for your badge on the people like me. Make it clear, I'd rather cut my hands that wear a fucking uniform. We all find peace somewhere deep in our soul, so sing.. Trapped in a world where I don’t belong.

Meanings 03:55
When all this began I looked for the right words To prove to myself that I'm strong I won't die with remorse. Time runs faster as I’m losing perceptions I've got nothing left to prove, I've got nothing left to say Dreaming at best, at least they don't feel so hopeless Chasing them everyday, I won't put my heart to rest here. If you're happy with losing, this shit's not for me With my mates still stand above, just to conquer the world. When all this began I looked for the right words To prove to myself that I'm strong I won't die with remorse. Just few people believed it and it's all that I needed All the sacrifices in silence They are writing down these lines Sorry for not saw it, if I ever hurt you My hope is just to make you proud Of what you grew. I'm sick of being worried And I'm tired of this place So tell me the reasons for what I should stay. So here's the message I just wrote for you all Cause one day I will leave and come, it's so fucking wrong But If you'll live with no hope, nothing will ever change I'm grateful of being here, singin along, for what I love Thanks for being there.

Dear/Life 03:45
And yet I'm here still wondering why I'm changing with the seasons The best part of me died. And sometimes I think about how this time flies And how we wanted to stay young Living nights in white Everything that remains are just good moments in pieces and I wonder if we'll ever remind them I'm scared to death of losing touch of you Letting my obsessions take the best of me. I'm writing to you, my dearest friend Is your life's goin' perfectly as you planned? Are you living for your dreams? Did you fought against your demons? Remember when we used to stare the sky So father please, don't shed a single tear It's not your fault if lately I let this surrounds me. All that I can leave you are just few letters on the paper This lines that I'm screaming until my throat starts to ache Until my heart stops beating Until my lungs won't work right I will always be strong but not for now One day I'll make you proud. And we'll reach new skies We'll sing for tonight It's not fear of what is coming It's will of leave something.
