VERSE Even though strong, I became weak, and now I feel bad that I met you Surprising is my need to have it again, to touch and to hug over and over again Refreshing the breed of those who can’t win, and now I feel bad that I met you There’s only a way out of this junk, to dream and remind that I had it CHORUS Hopefully I won’t wait for long Increasingly, my truth can hold on, hold VERSE We’ve been through the sole place that we need No one more could be like you Should we breathe and fight closely for it No one less that could like you Nothing stronger than me could defeat, could defeat and disguise it Couldn’t think that we just would repeat. Making love and reminding CHORUS Hopefully I won’t wait for long Increasingly, my truth can hold on, hold CHORUS

Mellivora 06:05
VERSE I was told one day that I should try more Fight for what is great, thrive and be much more Even hide my hate, love and give some more Caught you in my way, blocking every door Guess i need, guess i need a break, guess i need a break from this For i grew sick, for i grew bored, grew bored and sick of you Well i gotta change, and i need a chance, i need a chance to be Now I can be what you forbade. Mellivora CHORUS We all should know that those who hide now They wont be judged but will be disclosed The way you shut the way you drive my The way my madness can't turn to light Can't turn to light VERSE Guess i need, guess i need a break, guess i need a break from this For i grew sick, for i grew bored, grew bored and sick of you Well i gotta change, and i need a chance, i need a chance to be Now I can be what you forbade Hiding every day, you just try to mock Everything i gave, even my teardrops For a hundred and twenty seven years people fled their souls leaving love and life abroad No wonder that every now and then empty bodies float adrift whether briefly or endlessly CHORUS We all should know that those who hide now They wont be judged but will be disclosed The way you shut the way you drive my The way my madness can't turn to light Can't turn to light

VERSE The things i don't have. The things i think that i should own The things i should have. The things i think i should never let be gone The things i lost them among the things i should have done And what is left now CHORUS Memories of tracks and blows So now i see i think you just got old VERSE The things i don't have. The things i think that i should own The things i should have. The things i think i should never let be gone The things i lost them among the things i should have done And what is left now CHORUS Memories of tracks and blows So now i see i think you just got old I conceived what now can't grow So now i seek i seek what laughters throw CHORUS

Act IV 02:59
VERSE So high Yes it is Hold tight So steep But you'll see. No, cannot see. Can't try CHORUS But the freedom that you'll get is so much more than you can have No man could have just enjoyed that storm, that fear of being lost
5.
VERSE I don't know where to start You can't help. You're not so smart To lose again in the end Run away without nothing to say CHORUS So we're just on the place that we need Don't hide behind No one can afford and resist The price you charge just to be I see that abyss. You can't jump now VERSE Why regret. Why feel bad Lose yourself with no regret CHORUS So we're just on the place that we need Don't hide behind No one can afford and resist The price you charge just to be I see that abyss. You can't jump now

The Bait 05:58
VERSE Licking my wounds Chose what was right Never thought I would win, never thought that I could be right Could entice my bait to, could have put my blade just inside CHORUS: Loving you Jane was just my pride Told I was making you feel alright Let's just obey to our hearts Flapping my prey shouldn't be nice The Bait VERSE Bleeding my guts Chose what was wrong Should've given up and should have been enough to my mind I just paid the price and I just did enough to go down CHORUS Loving you Jane was just my pride Told I was making you feel alright Let's just obey to our hearts Flapping my prey shouldn't be nice The Bait, was a mistake Fading BRIDGE Enticing is not right Baiting was not right Choices that won't last The price is to blow minds CHORUS Loving you Jane was just my pride Told I was making you feel alright Let's just obey to our hearts Flapping my prey shouldn't be nice Enticing is not right Baiting was not right Choices that won't last The price is to blow minds The Bait, was a mistake Fading...

VERSE The story of a dark blue zone, to call my own, just like old days This place will make my heart grow old, the mind will betray, carving my The first forbidden love, remains with it's regrets, made just mistakes I just create that feeling now, my brand new cure, with a few chords CHORUS Paving a way to my world with colors and no one Misplaced your face inside my creation, my new throne VERSE If you allow me to I'll show what I can do. But you already know I feel I cannot lie, 'cause you're one in millions Eternally mistake, stuck in love confusion CHORUS Paving a way to my world with colors and no one Misplaced your face inside my creation, my new throne
9.
VERSE The places I've been, not long ago Can't wait to be far, so long again I say don't bring your small talk, stay far away You plead for mercy and forgive, one more time again CHORUS Fell down, jumped from the tallest height now No pride, can't say that this is better By now, I found my place in heaven Can't find Rose, just, like, those, groves Fierce, brave, grim VERSE Afraid and disgraced, just more one day Awake and be brave, for your own sake You may, don't feel that fierce now, don't hide yourself So close, you say to yourself, grim and sold CHORUS Fell down, jumped from the tallest height now No pride, can't say that this is better By now, I found my place in heaven Can't find Rose, just, like, those, groves Fierce, brave, grim

Prism 06:32
VERSE The light disrupts from the faces you saw at the crowd A blight occurred from those eyes that you could die for Prism, every light will keep burning me You never thought that you could be surprised Whoever sees contemplates forever that bright Prism, every light will keep burning me BRIDGE How, beautiful one, how do you do it Cutest one, can you not do it I can only hope that you feed my song It doesn't matter whatever I say I can only hope that you feed my song Your shiny sight, my blue side I can only hope, there is only hope You could never see this like the way I wanna see it It's not an invention that I love that retention You could never fell it like the way I wanna feel it It's not an invention that I'd love a redemption VERSE The light still shines, from the faces you saw in the crowd A vision came, from those eyes that you could die for Prism, I'm sorry but i can't keep taking this I never thought that you could ever be mine Now i see that my prism lies in my mind Every light will keep burning me Every light will keep burning me

VERSE The finest days went by like seconds while I thought that joy would last And when the world fell down, eternity was right there before me I didn't know I could stand that pain you brought me Didn't think I could be myself again I can't believe after all this time you're still here Can't believe how strong i am my friend CHORUS I still believe in you Only this time, differently Change into something true What is it there for me I need a moment of clarity Trying to let it be VERSE Who's to blame and I don't know what's wrong here Never thought this would be so hard And when i feel like giving up i still got The only thing that is always by my side CHORUS I still believe in you Only this time, differently Change into something true What is it there for me I need a moment of clarity Trying to let it be CHORUS
