I am what you hear, I am what you see. I am what you fear, what you want yourself to be. I can be your sadness, I can be your joy. In my hands you're gonna look just like a soldier toy I can be your victim, I can be your crime. I can be your whiskey, I can be your wine. I can be the ocean, I can be so dry, You can’t win this battle, don’t you even try. This is not a war, I’ve already won. There is no shelter, shelter from the storm. You’re an empty shell, you’re just my fun, You’re already dead, I don’t need no gun. I am what you feel, what you never would. I am now the driver, never to get stuck. I am the excitement, the coldness in your blood, I’ll be everything, that you never could. I am your salvation, can’t you really see? I am everything you, wished one day to be. I am now the fire, burning in your eyes, I am the truth, hidden in your lies. This is not a war, I’ve already won. There is no shelter, shelter from the storm. You’re an empty shell, you’re just my fun, You’re already dead, I don’t need no gun. This is not a nightmare, as real as it gets. I am all your failures, I am all your debts. I am all the crisis, you wished to ignore, I’m a long lost friend, a bottle on the floor. I am your heaven, I am your abyss. I am like a prayer, I am your bliss. I am taking over, don’t try to stop me now, If you ain’t with me, I will make you bow. I’m inside of you, don’t you really see? I am what you’ve hidden, what you cannot be, I am all the anger, I am all the scars, I am not a god, I don’t wear any crowns. This is not a war, I’ve already won. There is no shelter, shelter from the storm. You’re an empty shell, you’re just my fun, You’re already dead, I don’t need no gun. I am the otherside, the fear in your eyes. I’m what’s left, the willing to survive. I make the rules now, I will roll the dice, Prisoner no longer, I will break the ice!

Hello, didn't I earn your trust? I thought your thoughts are full of rust. Wasn't it enough for you, is it gonna be, you only see what you want to see. All these words do they have meaning? For you to believe it's worth believeing. All this time and that's still in the way, don't ask me who I trust or why I hate. Don't wanna talk, don't wanna hear, keep your silence because of fear. Is it worth trying to change your mind, or there is no trust left to find? You don't blame me, but maybe you should, not so long ago so tall we stood. You're gonna reap what you have sawn, we only know what's already known. Are you gonna miss me when I'm gone? Is it worth the talking, or still no trust? How long, how long, 'till it turns to rust? Are you calling me a liar, do I wrongly recall, so long, so long, princess without a crown. I'm starting to wonder what do you believe in, my words or your head's decieving? Black hole, black hole go away, you did nothing, but you will pay. Don't wanna talk, don't wanna hear, keep your silence because of fear. Is it worth trying to change your mind, or there is no trust left to find? You don't blame me, but maybe you should, not so long ago so tall we stood. You're gonna reap what you have sawn, we only know what's already known. Are you gonna miss me when I'm gone? Seems like the truth is not enough. The truth is not enough. The truth is not enough. But it's gotta be pretty too!

Stare 03:49
Sitting here, all alone, I can't believe what you have done. I believed in you, but it's all in vain, you're the same as all of them. Why would you want this shit? You could have so much more. I couldn't see this coming through, I don't believe that this is you. Tell me now what went wrong, tell me now what's the point? I'm here for you and I always will, why can't you see what I feel? What is right and what is wrong, we know the movie and we know the song. I thought you were different, I really did, you changed it all in a single flick. The pain is mine and you don't care, looks are turning into stare. Sitting here, all alone, hearts are turning into stone. Where was your absent mine, whan you needed it the most? It's all wrong, don't you think? Making foolish mistakes without a blink. Are there regrets, or simply pride? I've never seen your darkest side. Tell me now what went wrong, tell me now what's the point? I'm here for you and I always will, why can't you see what I feel? What is right and what is wrong, we know the movie and we know the song. I thought you were different, I really did, you changed it all in a single flick. The pain is mine and you don't care, looks are turning into stare.

Walking side by side with you. Always tried to stay so true. One of us has lost it all, The other one is paved with gold. If there’s nothing left to say, there’s no need for me to stay. Give me back my precious time, a place that there’s no hope to die. You left me here and it’s not alright, I see for miles, but you make me blind. Every time I fail to try, and every time I try to die. I‘ve left nothing else behind, Now we both have crossed the line. Always been so bound to fall, stop before you’ve lost it all. Walking round, and falling down. Perhaps we’ll make it out somehow. It might seem like I don’t care, but for a while just stop and stare. The truth is there and it’s all for you, It’s a lesson we should all go through. You can’t always do what you want, without breaking someone else’s bond. You left me here and it’s not alright, I see for miles, but you make me blind. Every time I fail to try, and every time I try to die. I’ve left nothing else behind, Now we both have crossed the line. Always been so bound to fall, stop before you’ve lost it all. Bound to fall, lost it all, now you’ll crawl and it’s over Bound to fall, down in a hole, now you’ll crawl, and it ain’t fun Bound to fall, lost all hope, you’re all alone, I hope you realize. Bound to fall, don’t try to crawl, I’ll let you know that now you’re lost! You left me here and it’s not alright, I see for miles, but you make me blind. Every time I fail to try, and every time I try to die. I’ve left nothing else behind, Now we both have crossed the line. Always been so bound to fall, stop before you’ve lost it all.

Изгубени пътища, обвити в самота. Забравени хора и тяхната съдба. Любов безкрайна или разбити сърца. Животи и хора, не оставили следа. Империя паднала, сякаш само за миг. Есен настава, никой не чува моя вик. Спомени чужди, сякаш мои са те, Паднал ангел, загубил свойте криле. Огън изгаря останалото в мен, От сън се събуждам, ала уморен. Краят е близо, усещам вече аз. За мен и за теб, идва сетния ни час. Неразказани истории, и техните лица. Горещите дни и студените сърца. Празните пътища и опустелите села. Тежките удари и изгладнелите гърла. Щастие не виждам, изчезна отдавна то от тук. Болката не спира, между наковалнята и чук. Жаждата я няма, изчезнала е тя от нас. Живот безкраен, опустя за нас света. Огън изгаря останалото в мен, От сън се събуждам, ала уморен. Краят е близо, усещам вече аз. За мен и за теб, идва сетния ни час. Ще бъдеш ли тук, когато мен ме няма? Когато всичко си отива и нищо не остава? Ще останеш ли с мен, докато настава мрак, Докато всичко бавно губи своя цвят...

Here I stand, I’ll take the blame, Your words have brought me down. You’re the one I’ve always loved, But I’m not sure for you. Here I stand, a fool I am, You won’t let me forget. You said too much, you took me down, I am done, the bird has flown. It’s all too much or is it now? Once you showed your love somehow. It’s all dead and gone today, I’m not sure if I want to stay. Tell me again how I’m a disgrace, hit me with your words right down my face. It hurts, it hurts, but I stand still, sometimes I wish I couldn’t feel. So again it’s all my fault, and you’re the one that’s never wrong. What you say is always true, nothing’s ever back at you. The guilt is mine and I know that, my face is slowly turning red. You can’t get enough or can you now? I want to get out alive somehow. It’s all too much or is it now? Once you showed your love somehow. It’s all dead and gone today, I’m not sure if I want to stay. Tell me again how I’m a disgrace, hit me with your words right down my face. It hurts, it hurts, but I stand still, sometimes I wish I couldn’t feel. And now it’s time to say goodbye, it’s all too much but I don’t mind. You’ve given me both good and bad, but now it’s time to turn my head. It’s all too much or is it now? Once you showed your love somehow. It’s all dead and gone today, I’m not sure if I want to stay. Tell me again how I’m a disgrace, hit me with your words right down my face. It hurts, it hurts, but I stand still, sometimes I wish I couldn’t feel.

I've always said we get what we deserve, I've always believed in things we conserve. We take the people beside us for granted, ever since kids we were taught not to mind it. But once in a while you should stop and think, are you not what people surrounding you built? Aren't they just another part of you, the part that always gets you through? For what it's worth and each their own, the world you see is not set in stone. Take these words and shout 'em out loud, take the step without a doubt. People will always come and go, right or wrong, none of us is to know. One day death will take it's toll, for what it's worth and each their own. I've always said that life is just like a storm, one wrong step and away we're blown Life is a sunny day and a stone that's thrown, you are the king so get on your throne. You'll soon find out, I promise you this, Life is full of sorrow, life is full of solace. We're a puzzle, just pieces and bits, people are wrong, but one of them fits. For what it's worth and each their own, the world you see is not set in stone. Take these words and shout 'em out loud, take the step without a doubt. People will always come and go, right or wrong, none of us is to know. One day death will take it's toll, for what it's worth and each their own.

Falling Out 04:39
I lost my way in this life, I’m going nowhere, I’m no longer fine. I am the only one. That’s not making steps ahead. Lost on the road, with nowhere to run, I’ve never been in such a hole. Am I the reason it’s no longer fun, is this gonna last forever? I’m falling to pieces, I’m falling from grace I’m feeling stuck, I’m leaving no trace I’m falling apart, I’m losing my sight, I’m lost in the haze, I'm going blind. I’m living hollow, never at home. I’m getting crazy, when I am alone. Everybody is going ahead. I am the only stuck like a rat. Sometimes I’m feeling lonely and mad, Sometimes I wish someone’s at home. Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I’m sad. Don’t ever let me turn my back. I’m falling to pieces, I’m falling from grace I’m feeling stuck, I’m leaving no trace I’m falling apart, I’m losing my sight, I’m lost in the haze, I’m getting so blind. I’m falling to pieces, I’m falling from grace I’m feeling stuck, I’m leaving no traceeee… I’m losing myself, won’t somebody help? Calling for you, don’t you hear me howl. Don’t go away, don’t leave me alone, The damage is done but you’re the one. I’m losing my way, I’m begging you now, I’m on my knees, won’t somebody help? Hearing the silence, seeing the black, The roads are closed, I’m falling out of tracks.

I want to break down. Break down on you. I want to go down, I really do. I want to break down. It’s all for you. I want to stay there. This time it’s true. I’d like to fly, I’d like to die If that’s the end, I’d love to. I’d like to try, Once again. And if I burn, Don’t go with me. I can’t be your shelter, don’t run yourself to me, I am not your freedom, stop breaking down on me. Time is way too precious to give it all for free, and I wish you’re ready stop breaking down on me. Life is getting harder I’m sure that you can see Don’t look back now, stop breaking down on me. Your pain and sorrow, are just like endless sea, I don’t want to drown, stop breaking down on me. When your heart gets broken, and you’re too blind to see, don’t take yourself here, stop breaking down on me. When the pain’s too strong, just remember you are free, your heart will heal, so stop breaking down on me. If you ever feel so down, and there’s no reason you to be Pick yourself up, stop breaking down on me. I hope you understand, I’ve got my pain to feel go your own way, stop breaking down on me. You are the apple, but I am not your tree, wishing wells ain’t real stop breaking down on me. Take a look around, take a look at me, It will be your last, stop breaking down on me! I hope you know, that I’ll be there, when you need me, and when you don’t. It’s no one’s fault, but all would be good if I wasn’t there, if I just could. Some will tell, it’s all my fault, they might be right, and you’ll be too. And I just know, it would be right, if I wasn’t there, it would be brighter.
