am i dreaming?? 1, bright, blue sky... watching the rain, approaching the speed of light... as we travel, into the 4th dimension, when dawn breaks, across the universe... life forms, amongst the clouds... fluffy little clouds... 7, small pretty flowers... twinkling stars... ancient forest...

Verse 1: From where should I begin? I don't know where I've been... (It's a scary place... x3) The demons deep within, They drag me to the sin... (I can't see my face... x3) Chorus 1: The feelings I have, they're always the same, I need to do it ONE!! MORE!! TIME!! NOW!! I'm counting it down, my time runs out, I need to do it ONE!! MORE!! TIME!! NOW!! Verse 2: Another song to play, To show myself a way... (It's a scary place... x3) The person in decay, It needs to stay away... (I can't see my face... x3) Chorus 2: The reasons I have, they always betray, I need to find me ONE!! MORE!! TIME!! NOW!! I'm dying throughout, my time is out, I need to find me ONE!! MORE!! TIME!! NOW!! Outro: The reasons I have... The reasons I have... I need to stay away... I need to... The reasons, I HAVE!!!! (I have to scream it away!! x3) I wish I couldn't care!!! (I COULDN'T CARE!!!)

Verse 1: What do you know about me? Nothing is true. Don't be fooled, my face is not the same. You used to know me, now it's time to see the change. Don't go deep. Don't you see? I am like an open book. I forgive, I don't forget, now come take a closer look, Around!! In my life nothing to share, Still the same boring mofo, guess you ain't gonna care You see the monster in my eyes, you ask me why, If you wanna turn my inside out, I wanna see you try... I wanna see you try!!! Verse 2: What do I know about you? Nothing is true. I get fooled, I thought you were the same. I used to have a friend around, he never felt this way. (keno) A second is enough, I can see you are not so tough. When you vomit all those words, all I wanna do is laugh... Still the same shit, over and over again, feeling fucked, for a guilt that is not mine... See the monster in my eyes, you ask me why, If you wanna turn my inside out, I wanna see you try... I wanna see you try!!! [nu metal for the new millenium] Bridge: What's fake, what's real... Who turns the wheel... Sometimes I see.. Myself and think... I need to turn... My insides out... x2 If you wanna turn my inside out, I wanna see you try!! x2 [nu metal for the new millenium]

Fueling my Vision 03:13
lyrics

Verse 1: Fall seven times and stand up eight, this is your power inside… Remember every single thing that made you wanting to hide…. Feeling disgusted that you have to live inside all those rules… Coming to terms with the fact, you don’t have to deal with these fools… Chorus: The fire. Desire. For more… (Fuel my. Vision) I am free. Don’t you see? I’m home… (Fuel my. Vision) Verse 2: The only moment of existence, you’ve been gifted a cause… Don’t miss the chance to scream it out, lyrical overdose… This goes out to all the people that they thought you’re worth shit… Don’t give a fuck, now hit ‘em back, inside the shark pit… Chorus Outro: I have another mission, I need to fuel my vision. My life is on a mission, I need to fuel my vision. x4

Verse 1: Maybe it's time to set the record straight. Still tryin' to figure out a channel for my hate... Sometimes I wonder if it's real or not. Your face is there and my fist is getting hot!! (Stereotype me, cause you don't like me...) Open your fuckin' eyes, no one is tryin' to fight me. Take off the red cap!! Your brain needs some air. Now that I think it better, was it really even there?? Chorus: My life is not a fucking toy!! Motherfucking Poster Boy!!! x2 Verse 2: Now it's time to set the record straight. You made your moves, and I made mine. I say CHECK MATE!!! Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, and that's how life goes. I have no hard feelings, I'm not stepping on my toes!! (Stereotype me, cause you don't like me...) My eyes are open wide, no one is tryin' to fight me. Do not expect any miracles from now on. Now that I think it better, was my mind really gone?? Chorus Breakdown: Look inside the void!! (Look at me!! x2) Take a dive within!! (Look at me!! x2) This is not real me!! I'M NOT THIS SHIT!!!

Perspective 03:13
lyrics

Verse 1: Well, you know, it's been a long day. 24/7 running down in every way. I live my day twice, no words for me to say, Maybe you cannot see it, but I am here to stay. Many eyes, many backs, only one knife, Every single person tells me how to live my life, I get my hands dirty, I fall down all the time, my knees are bleeding, but I get up, and I'm just fine... Sometimes I see myself and say „My fucking god, I suck“ And others I'm just like „I wish I couldn't give a fuck“ But in the end it doesn't matter what the mirror shows, What I see in me is what I get, that's how this shit goes.. It's all a matter of perspective!!! Verse 2: Well, you know, it’s been a long night, Here you are, look at you, just won another fight… There is always better and the worst, you know? Keep that in mind, Now move it on and everything is gonna be alright!! There is black, there is white and there’s some grey between, So keep your head still up and your reputation clean. You are the artist of your life, gotta get some colours in, And the voids inside your soul will surely be filled in… Cause in the end it doesn't matter what the mirror shows, What I see in me is what I get, that's how this shit goes... It's all a matter of perspective!!! Don't waste your time now, be creative!! x2 [diss on Wes] Breakdown: You look the same side, you hold a different coin. And if you change your mind, don't hesitate and join!! It's all about the things you do, either big or small. Now go out there and make a difference. This is your goal!!! Outro: It's all a matter of perspective!!! x2 It's all a matter of perspective!!! Don't waste your time now, be creative!! x2

Verse 1: I am second in my own play, Time goes by, my life is slipping away… Dig the secrets I was trying to hide, Say hello but I should say goodbye… I find emptiness inside my routine, It’s been a really long time, what do you mean? Can I simply go back and say it’s real? Or should I carry on and live in a fear? Pre-Chorus: I lost my life inside my past… Some things were never meant to last… I gotta catch me up and fast… Chorus: Killing, dead memories I never should Bring back, they make me so sick, I can’t breathe now!! Resistance against my own mind!! (Resistance against my own mind!!) Verse 2: Everybody moving on, that is true, Feeling stuck, still I don’t have any clue… In the first place, I was never there, Yet I don’t understand why should I care… I find loneliness inside my routine, It’s been a really long time, what do you mean? Can I show up and pretend that it’s real? Or should I shut it and move on in a fear? Prechorus – Chorus (Resistance against my own mind!!) Bridge: I am who I am, I’ll never gonna change!! (This is the truth, what you see, all in me!!) The freedom inside, I've never felt this way!! (This is the truth, what you see, all in me!!) The future awaits, I’m gonna take my way!! Outro: I am who I am. The future awaits!!

Verse 1: Everything repeats itself… My own life is gone, in front of my eyes… I feel defeated… My tears are warm, do you feel it? But you take off me… All those things they make me fade away… I feel your whisper in my head… Your arms, my shield, once again… (I'm free because of you) Chorus: You make my sorrow, To stray away. Your eyes. My light. I am. Alive!!! Verse 2: Endless loops in my mind… The simple is riddle, I don’t know why… No hope. In my sight… My tears are warm, do you feel it? But you take off me... All those things they make me fade away… I feel your whisper in my head… Your arms, my shield, once again… (I'm free because of you) Chorus (Because you got this magic touch!!) x3 Bridge: Until. The end. The road comes up to me… Please keep. My hand. My soul is running free… My blood. Inside. My veins is running wild… Give in. I did. I’m free because of you… Because of you!!! x4 Chorus

Verse 1: I am so stressed, and the beats of my heart are just driving me crazy I dive inside a frenzy ride, deep inside, in my mind, why am I doing this? Always know how this ends, I’ve seen this movie thousands and thousands of times in my life, and yet here I am, predict the unpredictable, trying to kill the despicable me… Again and again. Undeniable, unconceivable, unforgettable, what else? I don’t know, I’m just feelin' a mess, what comes next, no idea, gotta make up some noise… Chorus: I walk on the edge... My limits on test... I'll never find out what comes next... Verse 2: I am so stressed, bring me back to the place that I wanted to be from the start, don’t give a fuck, killing myself and the people I care, because I look back… Calculate, measuring every one of my steps right to the grave, what’s going on? Here I am to predict the unpredictable, trying to kill the despicable me… Again and again. Undeniable, unconceivable, unforgettable, what else? I don’t know, I’m just feelin a mess, what comes next, no idea, gotta make up some noise… Chorus x2 Breakdown: Overthinking, overthinking, and it never ends… Overflowing, overflowing, all the blood in my veins… Overanalyzing every single breath that I take… I won’t last any longer, put my misery to a death… x2

I see empty faces... They have so beautiful eyes... I see their souls. They 're rotten... They walk around, but they don't see... They have their heads always down... They pay no attention to you... Only one thing keeps them alive... I don't even know what this is...

about

More gear, more original ideas, more genres, a little bit darker thematology, a little bit better production. We 'll see how this goes...
