Loud Sound 03:49
Loud Sound If God asks me: "What should I do to build the world?". I'd suggest him to keep all my next words: "Whatever you have not created it would still be the same way to live and to survive!". (We spent another year and learned what we should know). We must fight! We can't cry! Release soft pedal and let's go! It's hard to start a new life when you are alone. Bloodstain on broken minds and mental problem started to resolve. The second part of your life and they will steal all your pride. We never choose this way to live all alone. The words which promised to much they act like punch in the crotch then fade like a loud sound. With sense of fear and apathy all hopes will die suddenly. Tomorrow we will rot in jail and serve our time. I know, whatever you make it would be such a mistake. (But we should find the same way to live) and to believe. The second part of your life and they will steal all pride. We never choose this way to live all alone. The words which promised to much they act like punch in the crotch then fade like loud sound. Away!

The world overturning To raze, to build and to serve: 3 usual rules for them to know. Their plans lie low. (Their plans lie low). Lack of trust to mankind. The biggest question to find out: What to decide? (What to decide) All their work is nothing. All their truth is burning. Envious pawns are laughing. The world of overturning. Look through the foggy future. Live on the pattern every day. Can we change this way? All as I can see in my life, eventually, become my stupid destiny. Just look around. (Just look around). All their work is nothing. All their truth is burning. Envious pawns are laughing. The world of overturning. When liar stands on solid ground. And lives in everyone around. In this place where we should live we couldn't find a reason to believe. Raise your hands. Clench your fists. All because of this we still exist. We take care of action which set us free. When liar stands on solid ground. And lives in everyone around. In this place where we should live we couldn't find a reason to believe.

Time To Pray 04:05
Time To Pray "It will be last", you say but do it more and more. It's like a kind of stupid pleasure that he didn't like before. It's only your sentence. It gives you the dependence. When someone asks a question, you always on attention, maybe, you are very frightened? It seems like you're inside it. If something's wrong - it's nothing. It's nothing that is going up to you. His life is floating away. Every day he should pay in such way. And if he wants to survive, to return a good life - time to pray. It's time to pray! Making mistakes sometimes bites you from the inside! You don't realize how long it will torture and over and over! Fight! “You will die fast!” I say. It's gonna happen all the day. When you will sit before your death and think that you have chosen wrong way! And mental disorder it forces you to murder. With no dose and no pills you'll slowly rot in sacred hill. It's only your sentence. It gives you the dependence. If something wrong - it's nothing. It's nothing that is going up to you. His life is floating away. Every day he should pay in such way. And if he wants to survive, to return a good life - time to pray. It's time to pray! Come on! So let's fight! (Fight) So let's fight the dirty feelings to decide! (Fight) I have to choose between the fake and real life! (Fight) I always told myself to stop and gave it up! (Fight) I should give up this fuckin' slavery! His life is floating away. Every day he should pay in such way. And if he wants to survive, to return a good life - Time to pray. It’s time to pray!

Step Forward 03:00
Step forward We always think that life would be the time that we might never see. But what we sometimes get in return? War, fight, inside all of you! Step forward and you are guilty, no one will stretch ya helping hand. No one can change your activity. Protests against the government! (Don't look at me) just stop the war, that is walking near you. We know that we are all on the stress. So what can we do? Walking on the street. Watching TV shit. (Continue doing nothing.) You can stay aside or prepare for a fight. (Just do it for you.) Look backwards and you are guilty. Hold up your total progress. And please never lose your tranquility because it helps you in the mess. These words surround you and make you think: "What am I doing wrong?" I'm trying to participate! How not to belong? We always think that life would be the time that we might never see. But what we sometimes get in return? (Sometimes get in return). Please ask your mind then ask your heart that live for kill - it's perfect start. There is no sense in empathy. Inaction kills you silently. Politicians do not understand. What they are doing wrong? All their plans are innocent. All their plans are sold. We always think that life would be the time that we might never see. But what we sometimes get in return? (Sometimes get in return). Please ask your mind then ask your heart that live for kill - it's perfect start. There is no sense in empathy. Inaction kills you silently.

Feelings 03:35
Feelings Fall down in gorgeous slave. I need my heart to stay. To stay with you to prevent a heartache. Feelings burst away. It could be better than you thought. Could be better. Or shall we wait for something? We shouldn't waste all our time in separation. Every person knows that awful feeling. (Grates on me and ticks me off). Always live to care. Don't be so silly! (I'd rather stay with you). And, I promise, I won't screw. There is no distance between you and me. Find the compromise. Don't need to… FIGHTing draw you away. I should put it right yesterday. Fall down in gorgeous slave. (Fall down in gorgeous slave). I need my heart to stay. (I need my heart to stay). To stay with you to prevent a heartache. Feelings burst away. You need to believe. (Things will be better some day). This is our gift. (Should keep it. Should keep it.)

Change 03:14
Change When I make so much mistakes I change the point of view. And I start to think how can i greatly change myself. Oh, If you want to change the world. Oh, start with yourself. Forget the previous times, "Easy to live" - not my tagline. My plans for tomorrow to forget the word of "sorrow". Oh, If you want to change the world. Oh, start with yourself. Oh, one main rule that you should know: Do not ask your God for an easy life. I understand my real aim. Just to make this world the same. Well, how something can go wrong? Waikin' up early. I realized the time that passed. It goes slowly. I can't wait to last. All stupid thoughts were changed. I'm trying to get away. Misunderstanding knocked me down. Help me anyway! Oh, If you want to change the world. Oh, start with yourself. Oh, one main rule that you should know: do not ask your God for an easy life.

Appeal To Reason Sometimes it's hard to imagine how much is passed and done ‘till this day is. And no one ever will care about, ever care about all this time. About this time. (Reason) Please appeal to reason (Those who think their..) Those who think their step was done. (All your life) All your life rages in your hands. (It's your only) It's your only chance. Sometimes it's hard to forgive myself everything that i have. Every action. And I can't throw out my doubts away. They accompany my life. Lay off! Obey! Obey your own reasons! And lead the way for the generation that will take your place. The certain life falls apart without a belief. (Believe in yourself and your fate) Just lead your desires right to the things you won't forget. (Reason) Please appeal to reason (Those who think their..) Those who think their step was done. (All your life) All your life rages in your hands. (It's your only chance) It's your only chance.

Pursuit Of Happiness I've always thought that I chase for something useless for me. But I was caught by my life for my big will to survive. Oh-oh. On my way. The chance has come and I stood up from my knees forever. To look for my sign through the crowdy streets for the self-exemption! But then, I've suddenly seen how the everything starts flying all around me. My friends and family, they stop to notice all my actions, all my actions.. enviously. The voice inside, it tears me off. Between the two ways I am to solve (To solve!) The ailment turns to the great disease. It burns and burns my waxen wings. Then, I've suddenly seen how the everything starts flying all around me. My friends and family, they stop to notice all my actions, all my actions.. enviously.

Green Concrete Can the simple pine run from the fire? A fire from incandescent human's saw. Can we all forbid it for a while? Or must we stop it once, not letting more, not letting more. I find it equal to murder. And I see how it's falling on my eyes. But when the crime's getting colder, oh oh oh, the crowd has nothing to hide or disguise. We live in self-destructive generation where houses are so much higher than the trees. And I have no.. no slightest explanation. Why it benefits their selfish needs? Their selfish needs.. I find it equal to murder. And I see how it's falling on my eyes. But when the crime's getting colder, oh oh oh, the crowd has nothing to hide or disguise. The green concrete buries the tons of trees that nature did. Let's see the buildings growing up, oh, oh, oh. One thing I cannot stand - I stumble over what the people said. And sometimes it's really hard to stand up straight to figure out why.. I find it equal to murder. And I see it's falling on my eyes. But when the crime's getting colder, oh oh oh. The crowd has nothing to hide or disguise. The crowd has nothing to hide or disguise. The crowd has nothing to hide or disguise.

Sand Castles 03:36
Sand Castles Last spring turned into a boring and complicated story. All that has been on your mind, left our summer die. Split chores on bad and worst. Some you've found but more you've lost. City's dust in our eyes but we still fight for this lie. That's hiding our sacred truth. Snowball of the same shit things. I plunge the nails in the bricks. A nightmare when I'm letting go of you. And we are running through the night but path disappeared like light. It has never started to burn ‘cause our ways were wrong. (The ways were wrong). All years will go away. We'll live a better day. Then something happens in your mind and you will perceive that you still love and live past times. City's dust in our eyes but we're still fight for this lie. That's hiding our sacred truth. Snowball of the same shit things. I plunge the nails in the bricks. A nightmare when I'm letting go of you. And I'm staring in the window, watching the rain flooded my eyes. And I’m not sure if the stone in my chest is still able to love. Destroyed castles and broken wings, long ceremonies and weepy stories, pieces of heart and so sweet dreams, things I’ll never miss. It’s so easy to abandon those whom we don’t really appreciate. But sometimes we lose people that we do really need. With my open heart and all my ugly soul, I know, I’m strong enough to stand against this storm.

7 AM Wake-up 03:02
7 AM Wake-up In a rut every day. Try to shin up away from the cobweb of constant things. I might say that my dreams are away. That my life is delayed. Why I'm choosing this way? Why I'm choosing this way? (Your life shows you again) Your constant party is over. And every day I do a 7 am wake up. (It's a nightmare of your life) I must be blind because this nightmare of life can't show me how to stop. There is no time to think. My circumstances force myself to scream! (Your life shows you again) It's real face. And like this song, your life will fly faster than you think. To keep, to care the most expensive and dearest people of your life, you obey the rules of your country's government, working for a pittance. However, you need to grow with no fear of oldness, with no fear of falling down. With a sense of dignity you have to reach all the summits of your own dreams. But where do we get so much strength? Why are the simple things so hard to us? You just need to believe in yourself in nearest future. Your only faith is your own life. So believe in it. Keep your thoughts in your head. No more word should be said. Incongruousness holds my way in whole the action! Half you rise, half you fall. Give me a chance to restore. (To break) an every wall! (To break) an every wall! (To break an every wall. To break an every wall. To break an every wall. To break an every wall!)

The Ghost Of You Start all over again, it's on...now Well, I've got to do a different one Start again, okay. Once upon a time there was a ghost, and his name was Charlie. He, um, he died and then he came alive - no, he was alive and then he died, and he came up as a ghost. Um..He wasn't.. Everyone, um, they went there...Charlie always scared it away and um... so they um... so they started to um... So everyone that went there got scared away from Charlie. Soon, Charlie moved out into a different haunted house, and a lot of scary things happened to that haunted house...but Charlie wasn't afraid, he just... Charlie wasn't afraid. Ghosts aren't supposed to be afraid. Cause, um, he didn't...'cause he liked it! So, he just lived there until he didn't want to live there anymore. Moved back into the place he lived before. That's the end.

What Have I Done She always used to say with smile when sacred dreams break through my cries. "Don't be afraid, my son, and trust me. You'll be the big man when I die". Press on! On your mind! Let curtains fall to shed the light on my signification! And I've been waiting for my days that I would stuck in a such disgrace. For ages. (We have no chance to live) Where are the dreams my mother told me. Broke all the years (While I was growing old) Make mistakes with no regrets (And now I'm feeling cold) Under my weathered skin beats the unhallowed stream which I am forced to keep inside but now it's time! But now it's time to shed the light on my signification! This is your fate, it's not your failure! No need to turn, so just go on and don't look back. Stop wasting time to find the savior. You'd never get it even if it was! Just donate one! Without a doubt reach the way out! (What have I done wrong? Everything falls down, guess maybe, I will die all alone. Where are the dreams my mother told me) And I've been waiting for my days that I would stuck in a such disgrace. For ages. (We have no chance to live) Where are the dreams my mother told me. For ages. For ages. Told me. Told me. For ages. For ages. Told me.
