Shadows of the Night

[Verse] Faded lights neon glow Broken hearts in a row Concrete jungle swallows whole Lost souls pay the toll [Verse 2] Vintage dress cigarette Mind's a maze full of regret Dark skies rain won't cease Searching for a bit of peace [Chorus] Broken dreams in the rain We chase ghosts feel the pain City screams echoes loud Under night’s lonely shroud [Bridge] Whispered words shadowed eyes No more truths just sweet lies Haunted streets endless maze Wandering through a purple haze [Verse 3] Tangled thoughts quiet fight Stars they fade in the night Love's a game always lose In this world what to choose [Chorus] Broken dreams in the rain We chase ghosts feel the pain City screams echoes loud Under night’s lonely shroud

You stand and stare at me. It’s like you’ve never seen me before. My eyes, they always bleed. It’s like I’ve forgotten what fighting’s for. But nothing is over. We’ll just let them bleed ‘til I remember what fighting’s for. We will just let them breathe ‘til I feel triumphant at my core ‘cause, nothing is over. No thing is ov’r . . . My eyes; they slowly bleed. My heart; I must conceal it. I hide behind my dream. But I cannot achieve it. But what’s taking over? I don’t care. A lie, you won’t believe it. I won’t scare. My life, you cannot steal it . . . I wipe away my tears. You boast until I fear it. Just give me back my dreams. Release. You’re so conceited. This quarrel is over. I still care. Move on and be completed. I was scared. No ‘scuse to have conceded . . . Old scars no longer weep. I’m done be-ing mistreated. I am worth fighting for. Triumph! I prom- ‘ise freedom ‘cause when it’s all over I’m still here. I’ll never be defeated.

[Instrumental]

(Verse 1) Two bills, flying in the air One's in the sky, one’s sitting there The one in the sky, it’s made of gold While the one on the ground is just trying to hold Money in the pockets, power in the hands They dine on the riches, we work in the sand American dream, they say it’s for all But it’s hard to believe when the few stand tall (Chorus) Oh, two bills in the breeze, they flutter One's a hundred, the other's a penny, it don’t matter Life’s a game, but who’s keeping score? When the house is stacked and the poor are ignored Two bills, they don’t ever meet 'Cause one’s living the life that we’ll never see (Verse 2) There’s a mansion on the hill and a suit on the street With a pocket full of secrets and a life so sweet The suits make the rules, they pass the checks While we fight for the crumbs, stuck in the specs American aristocracy, it's made of glass They raise their champagne while we burn our cash They say we’re equal, but it's all a lie Just a perfect little show, a well-crafted disguise (Chorus) Oh, two bills in the breeze, they flutter One's a hundred, the other's a penny, it don’t matter Life’s a game, but who’s keeping score? When the house is stacked and the poor are ignored Two bills, they don’t ever meet 'Cause one’s living the life that we’ll never see (Bridge) We watch from below, eyes on the sky But they only look down with a casual sigh They don’t see us, we're out of their view Just the ones who work hard, but never break through (Chorus) Oh, two bills in the breeze, they flutter One's a hundred, the other's a penny, it don’t matter Life’s a game, but who’s keeping score? When the house is stacked and the poor are ignored Two bills, they don’t ever meet 'Cause one’s living the life that we’ll never see (Outro) Two bills, flying in the air One’s a golden dream, the other’s just a prayer Money’s the wind, and life’s the cage The rich turn the page, we’re stuck in the rage.

(Verse 1) We were fire, we were flame Burning brighter, never tame But the winds began to howl, Shadows whispered through the sound We fought to hold on, we tried to stay But the cracks grew deeper every day Now the stars won’t align, Our paths have crossed the final line (Pre-Chorus) I see your face in every dream But the truth is louder than it seems We’re a storm that can’t be calmed, A melody that’s lost its song (Chorus) Though my heart still beats for you I know there’s nothing we can do We’re just too different, worlds apart But I’ll love you always, from afar Even if it breaks me down I’ll let you go without a sound Our love’s a tale the winds will chart Eternal, though we must depart (Verse 2) Every word feels like a scar But silence cuts deeper, leaves us charred I reach for you, but the void is cold A story ending, yet untold We can’t rewrite the stars above Sometimes love isn’t enough I’ll hold the pieces, shattered and torn Of a bond too fragile to be reborn (Pre-Chorus) I hear your voice, it echoes clear But I can’t bring myself too near We’re the rain and endless flame, Two souls that can’t remain the same (Chorus) Though my heart still beats for you I know there’s nothing we can do We’re just too different, worlds apart But I’ll love you always, from afar Even if it breaks me down I’ll let you go without a sound Our love’s a tale the winds will chart Eternal, though we must depart (Bridge) And when the skies cry, I’ll remember The fire we sparked, the burning embers Even as the seasons change, This love remains, though out of range (Outro) Though we stand on separate shores, Your heartbeat will forever be yours We’re just too different, but never undone A love that fades, yet outshines the sun (Final Chorus) Though my heart still beats for you I know there’s nothing we can do We’re just too different, worlds apart But I’ll love you always, from afar Even if it breaks me down I’ll let you go without a sound Our love’s a tale the winds will chart Eternal, though we must depart

[Verse 1] Though I never thought it'd come down to this, why do we go through so much pain just to exist? I'm making a list, no one caring what it is The mirror showing a stranger, someone I don't know How it came down to this, no one knows [Verse 2] Every tick-tock from the clock whispers my name, telling me that I should be in so much shame All of my plans deteriorating Life's become so disorientating Truths and lies, nothing's pure black and white [Pre-chorus] Hating you, hating me It's not the way to be So why is it so goddamn hard to change? [Chorus] All I ever wanted was someone to love, someone to hold me when nights get lonely So why, oh God why, does no one see that the emptiness coming from my heart is not from me? I'm tired of everyone pretending to see how so much better they are than me So, stop what you're doing and take a good look If you don't like the true me I'll be that insufferable villain in your damn book [Verse 3] "Oh, fuck it..." You're the same as me Baby, can't you see Sharing the same motivation and thoughts as me You think it's outrageous? Just you wait Give it a couple years and we'll share the same fate [muffled, like on a radio] They make you in their image Never caring to set you free So, take your own freedom, dancing on the burnt remains of bridges never meant to be [normal] Hahahaaha Go on, take your own freedom my child Those bridges were already burned Sitting by the large bonfire of their misconceptions of you "Yes, of you" Isn't life just great with all its twists and turns [Pre-chorus] Hating you, hating me It's not the way to be So why is it so goddamn hard to change? [Chorus] All I ever wanted was someone to love, someone to hold me when nights get lonely So why, oh God why, does no one see that the emptiness coming from my heart is not from me? I'm tired of everyone pretending to see how so much better they are than me So, stop what you're doing and take a good look If you don't like the true me I'll be that insufferable villain in your damn book [Bridge] Yeah, together we'll be those insufferable villains in your book Depicting your story as one of grace while we fall into ruin to save your face Steering the story to have a good ending That's the villain's job, is it not? "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here" That so much is true Take a good look around you with eyes full of fear But it's way easier to give blame than take it yourself So we'll play the villains, you play the hero Let's see how this story ends [Pre-chorus] Hating you, hating me It's not the way to be So why is it so goddamn hard to change? [Chorus] All I ever wanted was someone to love, someone to hold me when nights get lonely So why, oh God why, does no one see that the emptiness coming from my heart is not from me? I'm tired of everyone pretending to see how so much better they are than me So, stop what you're doing and take a good look If you don't like the true me I'll be that insufferable villain in your damn book

Strofa 1 I find myself in a night Writing with a frantic obsession, Like a madman chasing a dog. I forget myself, humiliated by memories, People talk, but I don’t listen. A cigarette in my hands, Vibrating on the keyboard of a cell phone. I don’t know if there is strength or weakness in this. Ritornello Devour everything you can love, Like a child with his sweets. Every moment is timeless, Find beauty where you’ve never looked. Strofa 2 I wish I could shout to the world that I won, But I don’t know the meaning of victory. The future supports my every thought, As if it were the last. We live in a state where thought is free, But reality is a cage. Nothing will better translate, What I’m telling you now. Ritornello Devour everything you can love, Like a child with his sweets. Every moment is timeless, Find beauty where you’ve never looked. Bridge (Parlato o Cantato) Creativity is possessive, The assimilation phase is paranoia. My work is the truest part of me. My mask. My real life. Finale (Ritornello + Ad Lib) Devour everything you can love, Like a child with his sweets. Every moment is timeless, Find beauty where you’ve never looked. Like a madman chasing a dream.

[Verse] Into the void with a hollow heart Dark clouds above since our world fell apart Shadows creep in whispering so low Promises lost where do we go [Verse 2] In ashes we walk through the ruins of dreams Fire burns bright yet darkness redeems Voices of sorrow singing their song Nothing is right when everything’s wrong [Chorus] Out of the depths tragedy calls Grasping our souls got us in thralls Seeds turned to dust under its kiss As we march on we'll cease to exist [Verse 3] Ghosts of our past they linger so near Echoes of laughter are like shards to our fear Nights turn to days but the pain still remains Locked in this cycle of endless chains [Bridge] Broken and beaten we stare at the night Stars with no shine hiding from sight Life’s but a whisper that fades in the mist In the end it's just emptiness [Chorus] Out of the depths tragedy calls Grasping our souls got us in thralls Seeds turned to dust under its kiss As we march on we'll cease to exist

[Verse] Steel ghosts haunting Streets are hollow Cold lights flicker No dreams to follow Concrete jungle claws at my soul City's grip tight Losing control [Verse 2] Brick and mortar Chains that bind Empty faces Nothing to find Grinding gears Drowning in noise Lifeless grey Losing my voice [Chorus] Breaking free Fields calling my name Leaving shadows Shedding this shame Countryside whispers Sweet embrace Sunrise kisses Life's warm face [Verse 3] Dust pathways Winds are speaking Silent hills My heart seeking Golden wheat sways Open wide Freedom found Nowhere to hide [Bridge] Skies stretch endless Feel the ease Breathing clean Every breeze Stars at night Clear as a bell Hell behind Now farewell [Chorus] Breaking free Fields calling my name Leaving shadows Shedding this shame Countryside whispers Sweet embrace Sunrise kisses Life's warm face
