Whirlwind 05:27
So many thoughts in your head sit down, relax a bit there's too much fear but you won't fail Whirlwind is about to come and wash us all, for good I lie down here not over it lie down here just wait for it if you breath it doesn't mean you're alive, just let go There is dust it blurs the way It's a fight, and nothing else Whirlwind is about to come and wash us all, for good.

Sadness defines this place, oh my disgrace is nothing new. Lies wrapped in silk and gold will represent this wars when the day will come. Revolution now, I can hear the cry, leaders, speeches, applause, here it starts again. Bombs fall like rain nothing’s changed. It's a minefield of love and hope. Sickness defines this place, seeds of arrogance grow every day. Revolution now, I can hear the shouts, Leaders, speeches, applause Here It starts again. Bombs fall like rain nothing’s changed. It's a minefield of love and hope.

Beg Of You 03:49
We all destroy, we all wait And no one is never blamed We’re all small, we're all frail No one is safe. Can’t you see me I stand in front of you Beg of you. Can't you see that, I'm the same as you Beg of you. We all destroyed what we’ve all built and bombs are falling everywhere. We all fear and we're all so brave No one is safe. Can’t you see me I stand in front of you Beg of you. Can't you see that, I'm the same as you Beg of you.

Replace It 04:16
I'm staring at the door, then I'm staring at the window while the clock on my desk keeps ticking on every step. The pressure in my chest, a warning sign I didn't ask for But you can replace it, you can’t deny it, you can replace it, you can’t deny it. It's all in our head it's all in our head well, I guess you can complain about it, scream, shout, and then talk about it, you said you feel insecure, faint and frail, now look at you. you can replace it you can’t deny it you can replace it you can’t deny it it's all in our head it's all in our head.

How could you dare, leave me like that, leave me like that. So much goes on in my mind so much to tell, so much to share. And I know I should be more brave but I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid. And I couldn’t look at myself i was ashamed, so ashamed and I couldn’t look at your eyes i was afraid, so afraid. In a little piece of my mind hides a man, living a lie. And I wish I could take it all back but now it’s too late, now it's too late. And I couldnt talk to you you weren’t there. I can feel it cutting through my bones this pain, it won't leave. Oh it's so cold here alone like thousand knives in my bones. And I couldn’t look at myself I was ashamed, so ashamed. And I couldn’t look at your eyes I was afraid, so afraid.
6.
Where are you I'm falling down don't you hear that sound I'm crashing to the ground. It’s been too long now I just pretend in my head there’s a storm and now, there is no way out. i’ll lie down hate won’t help this time, I will not ask why, I will know. One day it won't hurt, I swear, save your mind from empty thoughts. Wait, hang on, there’s a way to live there's no time to waste don’t fall in sorrow. now watch them, There's no harder way, you will walk right in to the war. Then one day, i’ll lie down, i'll rest I will not ask why, I will know.

Ambitions 05:57
Sorrow, in my room tonight. The devil. is looking for a friend in hard times. And it's my life, my life I'm taking with me, and it's my time, my time I'm wasting. Ambitions, were on my windowsill Desires, they’re falling piece by piece. And it's my life, my life I'm taking with me, and it's my time, my time I'm wasting. Ambitions, ambitions...

Fog 04:04
I stare at you, from down below, I am getting punched up again. It's too much for me to fill I am going to explode. I cannot explain the way I felt, I was speechless, i've been waiting for so long, please clear up the fog. I'm sinking into the sand, i've got scratches all over my back i’ve got to find myself. There's nothing here to remind i’ve got no one here by my side i’ve got to find myself. A new day has brought me light, I'm rising up again. I can almost feel the sun, but, something’s pulling me inside i've been waiting for so long, please, clear up the fog. I'm sinking into the sand, i've got scratches all over my back i’ve got to find myself. There's nothing here to remind i’ve got no one here by my side i’ve got to find myself.

Is it Allright, to walk that way is it enough, or is there more to give is there a light, can you hear me. Is it that hard to embrace your fears Is it that hard to dry those tears from your eyes. I close my eyes, I see you there You stare at me, so quiet now While in my mind ,there is a war which side is right, which side is wrong Is it allright, to walk that way Is it enough, or is there more to give. I close my eyes, I see you there You stare at me, so quiet now While in my mind ,there is a war which side is right, which side is wrong.

they all just stand in line they’re waiting with big smiles I'm wondering what for they all have selfish minds get away from me. they all just stand in line they’re waiting for their time. I'm stumbling I'm falling please wake me up I'm so scared. Clowns are chasing me every night in my sleep they’re pushing me into a big hot lake I'm sinking again I'm climbing now into their mind I must save me. Tonight I’ll spread my wings.
