Copybooks full of scribbles again There is an empty space that is filling my head Don't know what to do, I gotta write a song And you were the key to open the door I NEED TO LOVE YOU BECAUSE I GOTTA WRITE A GOOD SONG OH, I WONDER HOW YOU CAN TURN MY BRAINS ON Since the day I stopped loving you No melody borns and I'm feeling blue Don't know what to do, A singer needs a song But I can't remember how it has to be done I NEED TO LOVE YOU BECAUSE I GOTTA WRITE A GOOD SONG OH, I WONDER HOW YOU CAN TURN MY BRAINS ON I can't find a word because I don't love you anymore Writing songs is my job How can I go on? I NEED TO LOVE YOU BECAUSE I GOTTA WRITE A GOOD SONG OH, I WONDER HOW YOU CAN TURN MY BRAINS ON I can't find a word because I don't love you anymore

I'm driving through the raindrops And I wonder why I'm doin'it for you Or is it for me? My feet are cold, the radio Is singing that old song about Jojo It's screaming "Get back!" And then I call you and your voice is still the same And then I'm feeling like I am that shy kid once again MY MIND IS TIME TIME TRAVELLING (BACK IN 2005) MY HEART IS FROZEN-GLASS-MADE (BE CAREFUL, IT'S FRAGILE) YOU'RE WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND YOU ARE TRULY SMILING I'm staring at you talkin'about your country life, Your job, your house and I feel like I'm getting high How can my feelings play together hide and seek And dance around my mind? That's a hurricane You look ate me and your eyes are still the same And then I'm shure about I am that shy kid once again MY MIND IS TIME TIME TRAVELLING (BACK IN 2005) MY HEART IS FROZEN-GLASS-MADE (BE CAREFUL, IT'S FRAGILE) I TELL YOU SOMETHING STUPID AND YOU ARE TRULY LAUGHING This is like a dream, I feel no pain as long as I can Forget the way we've been trying to hurt each other I don't know what I'm doing, I only wish this night could last Forever, I'm fooling myself bad MY MIND IS TIME TIME TRAVELLING (BACK IN 2005) MY HEART IS FROZEN-GLASS-MADE (BE CAREFUL, IT'S FRAGILE) YOU VANISH FROM MY CAR AND I AM STILL LONELY

A Winston’s burning on my lips and I am sitting on the floor, My arcade echoes every little breath I take Music floating in my ears, a drop is falling from my head Down to my cheek, my legs are numb, I’m free The weather’s warm, I don’t wanna go Clouds are covering the sun HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN ON SUNNY DAYS? HOW CAN IT PAINT THE SKY THAT COLOUR FULL OF SHADES? I THINK I'LL STAY HERE FOR A WHILE SHALL I STOP THE TIME? Down by the river There’s a place that I am used to call “My Home”, A piece of mind calls my name out loud and clear And I remember that old time when I was no more than a child Who was discovering what Mother Earth gave us and I felt free "Come here to see! Help me saving shrimps along the stream!" HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO CLIMB A ROCKY WALL REACHING PLACES THAT YOU NEVER WISH YOU KNOW? I THINK I'LL STAY HERE FOR A WHILE SHALL I STOP THE TIME? Sitting in my car and talkin’ about our little troubles, There’s a night that’s waiting for us to be honest with ourselves Talkin’ about philospohy and music and some broken heart Is better when she’s here and she tries to keep me up And I am free to tell her what I feel She doesn’t let me be misunderstood HAVE YOU EVER CALLED "SISTER" AN OLD FRIEND? DOES SHE EVER HUG YOU WHISPERING WHEN YOU'RE SCARED "YOU CAN STAY AS LONG AS YOU LIKE"? CAN YOU STOP THE TIME?

Angry Eyes 03:56
I don't know how to tell you this without being misunderstood Your sight is not the same and I can't really look through you And I don't know to show you how much I care I know your life’s a trouble, I wish you could come back I know there's not a reason, it's like a hard kick in your neck And I don't know to heal your broken mind I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE YOU 'CAUSE I'M FEELING LITTLE SCARED I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK WITH YOU THERE'S A WALL AROUND YOUR ANGRY EYES I feel like I am talking with a soul that is not yours A frozen soul that's hiding you in a jail, I wonder how I could set you free and wake you up, I don't know how to wake you up I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE YOU 'CAUSE I'M FEELING LITTLE SCARED I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK WITH YOU THERE'S A WALL AROUND YOUR ANGRY EYES You're standing right in front of me, your face is dirty, man You're barefoot and I'm trying to make you understand But you're telling me I gotta stay away I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE YOU 'CAUSE I'M FEELING LITTLE SCARED I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK WITH YOU

"You can feel it running along your veins There's no way you can save yourself" I'm gonna meet her in my dreams, I'm gonna lose control I need her everyday, every little hour Suffocation, dizziness, pollution around my feelings There's no easy way out, the cut is getting deeper I need a little break far away from that toxic kind of love I don't know how to pretend this is just fine And I can't take it anymore "I CAN BUY YOUR SOUL" "You can feel it knockin' on your head's door You got no weapons and you know you can't fight anymore" It is deep inside my mind, it isn't gonna leave it It's invisible but I can feel it choking me I'm losing my breath, losing myself, Losing the tears I leave along the way She is a picture stuck inside the only place I hate Everytime I get closer to be ok there is something wrong It is like tripping through your own wires When you're just one step far from the goal "I CAN BUY YOUR SOUL"

"There must be some kind of way out of here" Said the Joker to the Thief "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief Business men the drink my wine Plowmen dig my heart None of them along the line Know what any of it is worth" "No reason to get excited" The Thief he kindly spoke "There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I we've been throught that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now, The hour's getting late" All along the watchtower Princes kept the View While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching The wind began to howl
7.
Past is a jar full of some blurry pictures Future is so good at selling his lies And the Present is just a white noise Screaming in your head If you're looking forward you're mad and hasty They say "Never look back, even if today" You're feeling down and the world around Is smashing your life" THIS IS WHERE THREE LINES COLLIDE YOU'D BETTER RUN AWAY THIS IS WHERE THREE LINES COLLIDE YOU'D BETTER RUN AWAY YOU GOTTA RUN AWAY, YOU GOTTA RUN AWAY SILLY DREAMS ARE GONNA DIE, RUN NAKED IN THE RAIN YOU GOTTA RUN AWAY YOU'D BETTER RUN AWAY YOU'D BETTER RUN AWAY Past is a jar full of some blurry pictures Future is so good at selling his lies And the Present is just a white noise Screaming in your head Once you begin you don't know where's the end Your stupid feelings will drag you to hell And you know that, you hate yourself You dive into broken glass THIS IS WHERE THREE LINES COLLIDE YOU'D BETTER RUN AWAY THIS IS WHERE THREE LINES COLLIDE YOU'D BETTER RUN AWAY YOU GOTTA RUN AWAY, YOU GOTTA RUN AWAY SILLY DREAMS ARE GONNA DIE, RUN NAKED IN THE RAIN YOU GOTTA RUN AWAY YOU'D BETTER RUN AWAY YOU'D BETTER RUN AWAY

The storm is fading away No more lies Ease your mind Stop your crying Storm is over Raindrops fall On your eyes Storm is over
9.
Dead end street, again If I could only change your mind, If I could only be in time If I could only run away from the man I used to be If I could only make you smile, If you could only say you’re fine If “we” could only be the starting word of every little thing that you say And I still hear you saying “What’s on your mind?” And I can’t say a word without doubting if it’s right YOU WOULD RATHER BE LONELY THAN TRY TO LOVE ME ONCE AGAIN I CAN’T EXPLAIN WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO MY SELFISH HUNGRY MIND, I’VE TRIED TO PULL MY FEELINGS OFF OF MY BRAINPAN BUT I CAN’T FORGET YOU’RE WHAT I NEED I’M ON A DEAD END, I’M ON A DEAD END, I’M ON A DEAD END STREET AGAIN Dead end street, again If I could only be myself, If I could only love someone else If I could only get what I want once in a lifetime If I could only change the past, If you could only remember again Every single reason why you found a twinkle in my eyes And I stil hear you saying “Do you know that you’re mine”? And I can’t tell if your voice is coming from my mind YOU WOULD RATHER BE LONELY THAN TRY TO LOVE ME ONCE AGAIN I CAN’T EXPLAIN WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO MY SELFISH HUNGRY MIND, I’VE TRIED TO PULL MY FEELINGS OFF OF MY BRAINPAN BUT I CAN’T FORGET YOU’RE WHAT I NEED I’M ON A DEAD END, I’M ON A DEAD END, I’M ON A DEAD END STREET AGAIN Dead end street, again If you could only know what I feel Everytime you come closer to me If I could only be the man you’re still looking for And I still hear you saying “Don’t scream at me now” And I remember how I was shouting out loud YOU WOULD RATHER BE LONELY THAN TRY TO LOVE ME ONCE AGAIN I CAN’T EXPLAIN WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO MY SELFISH HUNGRY MIND, I’VE TRIED TO PULL MY FEELINGS OFF OF MY BRAINPAN BUT I CAN’T FORGET YOU’RE WHAT I NEED I’M ON A DEAD END, I’M ON A DEAD END, I’M ON A DEAD END STREET AGAIN Dead end street, again This is the end Dead end street, again

Tidal Bore 04:38
You ask me about the future Staring through the void Nothing seems to find its way Nothing seems to last It’s hard to pass through this Floating to the sea Our people seem to fade away Their time blends to black RUN, CAN WE RUN FROM THIS HANGING PORTRAITS ON THE WALL COLLECTING MEMORIES BY THE PASSING OF THE YEARS? The set looks like the same The light has barely dimmed They’re shifting only for a frame And everything is new You ask me about the future Looking for the past We can face this stormy weather And ignore this tidal bore RUN, CAN WE RUN FROM THIS HANGING PORTRAITS ON THE WALL COLLECTING MEMORIES BY THE PASSING OF THE YEARS? WHY DO WE HAVE TO PASS THROUGH THIS ONE MORE TIME? WHY DO WE SUFFER? LOOKING BEHIND YOU SEE AN OCEAN OF A GRASS GREEN TIME WHY DO WE HAVE TO PASS THROUGH THIS ONE MORE TIME? WHY DO WE SUFFER AND RUN AWAY? LOOKING BEHIND YOU SEE AN OCEAN OF A GRASS GREEN TIME

 Our tears are leading slowly north
 Waving a last Goodbye

A man of words and not of deeds Is like a garden full of weeds, And when the weeds begin to grow, It's like a garden full of snow. And when the snow begins to fall, It's like a bird upon the wall, And when the bird away does fly, It's like an eagle in the sky. And when the sky begins to roar, It's like a lion at the door. And when the door begins to crack, It's like a stick across your back, And when your back begins to smart, It's like a penknife in your heart, And when your heart begins to bleed, You're dead, and dead, and dead indeed. Fear, hate, love Inside your heart, mind, soul Right to the spot through fog Breathing the smog you caused Is this the way you are so glad to live? Do you feel proud of the goals you don’t reach? How many times you’ve been asking yourself
 “Why you’re so tired?” Too weak or too dead to cry.
12.
Surely I don’t know what has to be done, you can read it in my eyes Maybe you can try to read my mind, my friend Follow me and try to live my life, you will see what it feels like Every little thing is not so bright, I’m afraid I’m goin’ blind But I can say “I’ll be fine” Should I really try to tell you one more lie? I see the light at the end of tunnel but It goes farther every night THERE ARE MANY HOLES I HAVEN’T FIXED AT ALL THERE ARE MANY FEELINGS I CAN NOT STILL CONTROL SHOW ME HOW TO GIVE A CHANCE TO THE MAN IN THE MIRROR AND TRY NOT TO BE WRONG MANY THINGS ARE YET TO BE DONE Surely I don’t know what you’ve just said, I was only taking a breath Don’t you know I’m living upside down, my friend? Do you really want to give me a chance to make you feel upset again? Put your trust in me and I will show you how to fight One more time against yourself Do you really think I’m fooling someone else? See what a mess you have done and loneliness is the only thing you deserve THERE ARE MANY HOLES I HAVEN’T FIXED AT ALL THERE ARE MANY FEELINGS I CAN NOT STILL CONTROL SHOW ME HOW TO GIVE A CHANCE TO THE MAN IN THE MIRROR AND TRY NOT TO BE WRONG CAN THIS BE DONE? And I don’t know how to be right, my friend But I know how to be blight Do you really think I am strong enough To fight a war against my comfort zone and find myself? THERE ARE MANY HOLES I HAVEN’T FIXED AT ALL THERE ARE MANY FEELINGS I CAN NOT STILL CONTROL SHOW ME HOW TO GIVE A CHANCE TO THE MAN IN THE MIRROR WHO’S TRYING TO MAKE ME BELIEVE MANY THINGS ARE JUST TO BE DONE
