Tears of a Fool
Carelessly life is playing its games
Winners and losers - different titles, same names
You never know if you’re blessed or you’re damned the next day
Your sensitive soul is your Achilles heel
Don’t expect the world to feel how you feel
Live in this moment, it’s not here forever to stay
I’ve always lived with my heart tied
That voice of reason in my mind
Tears of a fool I’ve always cried
I’ve hardly dared, I’ve hardly tried
Tired to be blamed, I’m never right
Tears of a fool I’ve always cried
Dreamers have never been a popular theme
Parents’ concern that you won’t serve the scheme
Be useful for the upper class, just like the rest of us
Why don’t you bend under the society’s will?
Doesn’t this sacred mission give you a thrill?
We save the system leaving us with scars
I’ve always lived with my heart tied
That voice of reason in my mind
Tears of a fool I’ve always cried
I’ve hardly dared, I’ve hardly tried
Tired to be blamed, I’m never right
Tears of a fool I’ve always cried
Don’t cry anymore
You can’t, can’t cry anymore
So, wipe out these tears of a fool
Yes, life can be so blindly cruel
I’ve always lived with my heart tied
That voice of reason in my mind
Tears of a fool I’ve always cried
As long as you keep the light in your heart
The darkness won’t turn you into something you’re not
Please, no more, please, no more, please, no more

Music Is Dead (Hope Mix)
The weather forecast never puts even a slight frown on your face
Save the blind lost is what must matter the most
Gently you place your old guitar in a black worn case
Will you melt any hearts’ thickening frost?
Music is dead
They must be mad
Your guitar wails heartbreaking tales
Music is dead
That’s what they said
Leave us alone in our happy zone
Play your heart out in the flow of tired minds and faces
Dimmed eyes look straight but fail to see straight
Music knocks in again, it can’t leave any traces
In those who forgot how to relate
Music is dead
They must be mad
Your guitar wails heartbreaking tales
Music is dead
That’s what they said
Leave us alone in our happy zone
Let the power of music push its way to your senses
I want to see your eyes open wide,
Finally awaken, look beyond your illusory mental fences
Break in, shake out your mind, listen to your soul
Even though it’s aching
Even though
Music is dead (is it really dead?)
They must be mad (so mad, so sad)
Your guitar wails heartbreaking tales
Music is dead (is it really dead?)
That’s what they said (what they said?)
Leave us alone in our happy zone
La-la-la-la (xxx times)

Only the Ocean Knows
Nights sing
Tender lullabies to me
I’m lost in memories
When I was so carefree
I close my eyes, the same story on replay
Two souls met, two hearts felt, one night and one day
Sweet and salty first kiss
Whispers lost in the breeze
Only the ocean knows
Once we were so close
Winds sigh
About fragile dreams and hope
Was it all happen accidentally
With no higher aim involved?
I open my eyes: the reality grabs me tight
Naivety lingers: one day we’ll get it right
Sweet and salty first kiss
Whispers lost in the breeze
Only the ocean knows
Once we were so close
Skies weep with me
A dark-silver canvas of misery
I paint pictures only I see
Of what our love could ever be
Sweet and salty first kiss
Whispers lost in the breeze
Only the ocean knows
Once we were so close

Kill the Distance
Since then, we are apart
Dreams are my favorite dimension
The reality tests the heart,
And it leads to the comprehension
Life without you is a wistful existence
I cannot stand that indifferent distance
I wish I could kill the distance
Since then, a silver plane
Stole you and took to foreign lands
I fight my inner rain
The only cure lies in your hands
Nothing and no one will break my resistance
I reply to the distance with the war of persistence
I wish I could kill the distance
So close not long ago,
And then you had to go,
Already so distant
In only one instant

Nobody Is Here
Already since the early age
The social hierarchy claims the stage
Among small girls and boys
You are nobody’s choice
Then you survive school breaks of doom
Trapped in a hall or a classroom
Against big boys
Your silent screams, their violent joys
A stable job, awards in words
Your life tunes made of minor chords
No one would know, how could they tell?
You hide your inner hell
And from a lonely year to year
This solitude has grown even more severe
And yet you claim you’re keeping well
Oh well
Nobody is here
Is that your biggest fear?
Nobody is you convinced with your own lies
Afraid to see this love in my eyes
Nobody is here,
Is that your biggest fear?

Access Denied
Hail our social democracy
Free of a blatant hypocrisy
Greet this rare opportunity
Belong to our community
Don’t waste your time confusing me
With the whirlpool of lies infusing me
They won’t ever occupy my mind
Try and find access denied
Don’t waste your time confusing me
With the whirlpool of lies infusing me
They won’t ever occupy my mind
Try and find access denied
With structured thoughts in our heads
We dwell so well on our meds
Forbidden urges - no threat to us
There’s nothing else left to discuss
Don’t waste your time confusing me
With the whirlpool of lies infusing me
They won’t ever occupy my mind
Try and find access denied
Don’t waste your time confusing me
With the whirlpool of lies infusing me
They won’t ever occupy my mind
Try and find access denied
These empty words
They don’t mean nothing
Yet they cut like swords
Why instead you’re laughing?
You won’t ever occupy my mind
And I lied, this time I lied
Don’t waste your time confusing me
With the whirlpool of lies infusing me
They won’t ever occupy my mind
Try and find access denied
Don’t waste your time confusing me
With the whirlpool of lies infusing me
They won’t ever occupy my mind
Try and find access denied

Cosmic Roses
Through all the dark times filled with thunder and rain
I’d follow you, I’d follow you, I’d follow you
Your love is like roses
Beautiful but also sharp
Your love’s cosmic roses
Glowing in a cold lonely dark
If I could heal the core of your deepest pain,
I’d cure it through, I’d cure it through, I’d cure it through
Your love is like roses
Beautiful but also sharp
Your love’s cosmic roses
Glowing in a cold lonely dark
I never thought
It could be an error
Or I have been shot with a wrong love arrow
I just got lost in the space between our eyes
I just got lost in the breath between our sighs
Your love is like roses
Beautiful but also sharp
Oh your love’s cosmic roses
Glowing in a cold lonely dark
I got lost, I got lost in the space
I got lost, I got lost in the space
I got lost

Leave the Night (Blurred Spaces Remix)
When my darkness
Falls again
It wraps around me
Like an old friend
And all these places
The space between
And by tomorrow
They became me
Can I?
Can I deny?
Can I?
Can I hide?
These spaces blur me
Where I shed my skin
I turned around and saw
I was leaving
Leaving the night
I leave the night
With open eyes
I leave me behind
The space between
The blurring lines
All that’s left of me
I leave behind

Musical Express
I have no special ticket, only my heart to offer
Will it be enough to secure my place?
Your passengers seem to be much tougher
By all means they want to win this race
Take me away with you, musical express
You must be overcrowded, I’ll stand up for my success
Music is my lifetime non-stop romance
Let me finally win in this game of chance
Stay safe and sound in the economy class
Full of desperate seekers of fame
In awe of the first class glittering stars
They strive to be the same brand name
Take me away with you, musical express
You must be overcrowded, I’ll stand up for my success
Music is my lifetime non-stop romance
Let me finally win in this game of chance
A thrilling journey with ups and downs
You are worshipped heroes or public clowns
Will they throw you out of your comfort seat
Or put your statue on your hometown street?
Finally
Take me away with you, musical express
You must be overcrowded, I’ll stand up for my success
Music is my lifetime non-stop romance
Let me finally win in this game of chance

Too Late
Are you ready to take a risk?
Prepared for a damage to fix?
That this tempting challenge may bring
What this tempting challenge may bring?
So, what is your final choice?
Don’t suppress that voice
Inside you don’t break this soul string
Inside you don’t break this soul string
Don’t hesitate,
Or it will be too late
Oh wait, is it already too late?
Don’t, don’t hesitate,
It will be too late
Oh wait, is it too late?
Can you hear through the buzz of your thoughts?
In your head they go in circles with no stops
Such a simple mechanism of your daily routine, your daily routine
Oh such a simple mechanism of your daily routine
You’re a misfit in the society of lies,
Those empty promises the others give to compromise
Do you still want to fight, or you surrendered and gave in, surrendered and gave in?
Do you still want to fight, or you surrendered and gave in?
Don’t hesitate,
Or it will be too late
Oh wait, is it already too late?
Don’t, don’t hesitate,
It will be too late
Oh wait, is it too late?
Give up adapt sleep eat work repeat
Give up adapt sleep eat work repeat
Work Eat Sleep Repeat
So, don’t, don’t hesitate,
It will be too late
Oh wait, is it too late?
The challenge is…accepted
