Rose 04:10
Rose Rose, everyone knows That everything goes Before the end Rose, before the door’s closed Remember all those Who didn’t pretend And they were laughing When you were crying When you were singing Making you small And they were blind When you were dancing When you were running Against the wall Rose, stop dreaming of shows Where the audience flows Screaming your name Rose, pick up your clothes The scores you composed They’ve stuck in a frame In your bedroom Over your nightstand Next to your cell phone You were expecting to ring To inform you For your glory For the arenas You were going to sing This smoky cloud, it brings a heavy rain Turn your face to it And blossom again

What do you see? What do you see? What do you see? I know what I see I’m not sure… What is that shape? Is it a shade? To me it’s the moonlight But you’re not me I can give you options of what there is to say You can find a shelter or simply run away I can make a shadow looking like a tree If you thrive or die there, depends on what you see What if I say This is the way To scratch the surface Of your brain? What will you find Inside your mind? If you decide now To let me in…

Insane 03:43
Insane Well, you’ve got it right I thought I’d be better off without you Insane, unsane I thought I’d fly above all of you Enough of what is true Enough of me Enough of you Well, you got me right My thoughts are not where they’re supposed to be Well, you got me right I’m out of space, out of time, out of me Once I dreamt of a timeless place A space to walk at a fearless pace I never saw it coming Though it was me and you giving a freaky show You got me hanging in between Of being humble or being chill Indeed I never had the nerve To make the twist and change who I serve

Wonderful and empty Last night I had a moment, a moment on my own It wasn’t that exciting; things could have just gone wrong I felt I was suspended, suspended in the air No rescue from another voice, I’ve declined every mutual affair Faking the joy, was meant to be But now he’s here… Wonderful and empty Is there beauty after 30? Last night the dark was deeper, so deeper should I fall? My hand was almost trembling; maybe I should make that call I felt I was convicted, convicted to be free The burden was too much to bear, bless he has no eyes to see!

Dancing Cloud Up above there’s a dancing cloud It moves its hands and cuts the sky Reminds me of you flirting with the crowd Warming them up as a day of July And this spring is so great A bit different but full of smells So strange of you to choose this date To spread the sound of all these bells ‘Cause you jumped so high to reach the sun To bring the summer in people’s heart You grabbed the spring and you danced as one But spring is the year’s most ephemeral part Fancy costumes fell on the ground Dancing creatures picked them in their hands They formed a circle and looked around The scores were flying off the stands And everybody joined this dance They stretched their hands to touch the sun They sung out loud being all in trance They beat their chest for the prince is gone

Once I knew 03:58
Once I knew Was it easy going fast? It’s a mystery you came last Taking baby steps I followed you The rising star that I once knew… Is lost behind a burst of sand and fire A hot desire A strung out wire that begins and ends with me It’s been easier to let you win I still compromise but not for long ‘Cause all that I wanted and waited for… Is lost behind a burst of sand and fire A hot desire A strung out wire that begins and ends with me
7.
You’re in pain Every day makes you bleed Being the victim of your knowledge Every day you cannot see What’s the importance of your moments Every moment on your desk You just try to break your pencil All your partners look grotesque And you cannot remain gentle And the blood goes to your head filling your eyes And your eyes move like crazy in your brain And your brain acts like a poison to yourself Here it comes here it comes here it comes… You’re in pain, you’re in pain and you need me Precious friend, precious friend come and feed me You’re in pain, you’re in pain and you need me now! And my colors hold your hands Warm them up and make them tender And my sounds blow in your ear Promising love that has no gender And my thoughts that were raised there Are immolated for your pleasure And you smile but not for long Being affected by the weather
8.
Unspoken Tales Let’s say you have a doubt now Running through your veins Rushing to your temples Be honest to yourself You didn’t meet your goals Yet, you remain sane. Attractive as you felt Having all in place You stepped out of the picture. It’s time to meet the blank It’s never a crusade It’s all about your pain Oooh…ooh Let’s face the truth You’ve missed your youth You could have never reached the end Why don’t you try to see now Everything you aimed for Was fighting back against you? Be honest to yourself You never felt complete And now you feel ashamed Assuming that your fame Was some kind of a prize You threw out of the window It’s time to meet the blank It’s never a crusade It’s all about your pain Keep on squeezing every bit of your unspoken tales Keep on squeezing every bit of your unspoken tales Keep on squeezing every bit of your unspoken tales…

No Worries 04:43
No Worries I might look wounded I might look hurt I shouldn’t get you worried For I am still not dead That sense of submission It’s been kind a sweet Except for my mission On earth, that’s not complete Don’t you worry if I’m gone Feel the breeze on your face Forget it all… I stand out before you I totter like your God When soon I’ll be vanished Please don’t be sad

As they always did The grass will grow The birds will sing The mountains will remain still As they always did The sun will shine The waves will calm The flowers will be blooming As they always did But the fear will remain beside me Play with my kid and drink my wine Will hit my back and will start laughing Take the days that should be mine The noise will come The kids will laugh The streets will be colored As they always were I’ll watch them all From my room And I will wave at them As I always did And when my kid becomes a man And when my wine becomes sour I will see him to the door And say goodbye I will caress my gray hair As I watch him leaving And only I’ll remain
