We are the only living beings
Who lie with the eyes towards the sky
But if we sleep, we can’t see
A burden pulls our glance to earth
The light we feel is never pure
It’s reflected by the glass, or it’s electric
A tree would never grow with it
The city suffocates our lives
And buildings are not a shelter anymore
I saw the birds reflected in the window’s glass
Flying they could breathe the air
They were free
I am slave

The Glass
05:01

I saw the birds reflected in the window’s glass
Flying they could breathe air
I'm a slave
I saw the birds reflected in the window’s glass
They were free I am slave
Trapped in invisible cell
Hard to break free, when you don't see
Lies and reflections
Again

You started a fire in my heart
My blood runs like air in sky
A moon that is heating a dream
A sun that is freezing my fears
You said it’s too much for me
To carry your weight with me
Well I say you’re melting
The stones within my heart
And I’d like to paint you so
With a cup of tea in your hands
I’d like to print your eyes
When they watch where I don’t know
With a pendant that reaches your shoulder
And the smile you always have for me
‘Cause if there’s a thing that’s worth living
Is having a cup of tea with you
A present that’s bringing me life
A muse I am inspired by
Everything’s simple and clear
You’re a gift that has come from the light
You said it’s too much for me
To carry your weight with me
Well I say that future
Will be seen by both of us
And I’d like to paint you so, with a cup of tea in your hands
I’d like to print your eyes when they watch where I don’t know
With a pendant that reaches your shoulder
And the smile you always have for me
‘Cause if there’s a thing that’s worth living
Is having a cup of tea with you
I want to seize all the spring that’s in your heart
I want to use it and see the art in you
As you were a painting that I drew
With all the colours we could see
‘Cause if there’s a thing that’s worth living
Is passing all my days with you

Living In The Past
04:46

Heart of mine
Why do you carry the weight of my mistakes
The pathways of my mind
Make you wither
Heart of mine
Why do you feel so alive
Upon this wasteland
This wasteland of glass
And in all of my thoughts
In the reflections of stones and concrete
I find myself
Living in the past
City of grey walls and white sun
Why are you so cruel?
Why do you never forgive?
Why do you hide love from me?
And in all of my burdens
In the obsessions of stones and concrete
I find myself
Living in the past
Light, dark
Mind, heart
White sun
Black clouds
In, out
Soft, loud
Less, more
Fly, fall

Brick After Brick
05:32
|
|
||
Unable to move, petrified
Unable to think, hypnotized
Elevating, I raise my walls
Isolating, I gain control
I will fly
I will fall
Coming back to life
Fragmented body intact soul
Brick after brick I control myself
Brick after brick I will come back
Ascending, protected by stones
The queen, the throne, the power unknown
I'm more than human, I'm my own creation
Coming back to life
Fragmented body intact soul
Brick after brick I control myself
Brick after brick I will come back
I'm gaining control
Coming back to life
Fragmented body intact soul
Brick after brick I control myself
Brick after brick I will come back

X - The Missing Piece
03:13

We are free
As long as freedom doesn't collide with our children
Where is the missing piece
that makes me be an X?

X - Colliding
04:24
|
|
||
Your desire
Is not the borderline of a lifetime
The thing you miss to feel complete
But it's a dress for your soul
For everyone to see
We are free
As long as freedom doesn't collide with the others
With people who are innocent
And you are colliding
I'M AN X
PUT A PRICE ON MY BEING, IF YOU WANT IT
BRING SOME LIFE INTO ME, IF YOU HAVE IT
We are selfish
And act like we don't influence children
We don't think of the future
When we will not be anymore
Not everything's lawful
You should guess why
I'M AN X
PUT A PRICE ON MY BEING, IF YOU WANT IT
BRING SOME LIFE INTO ME, IF YOU HAVE IT
I WAS YOUR WHIM
From toddler to adult in the blink of an eye
Ferocious urges, constantly clouding my sight
The lights of the city revealed my dark side
Freedom is there for me to buy, but I can't afford the price

Asphalt Seas
05:42
|
|

Heat me one last time before the flight turns into fall
Let me feel again what is the world I'm going to leave
From a throne built upon concrete waves
The queen stares at the void
In grey, in asphalt seas I'll dive
I grew up waiting
I grew up to discover a future of loss
When everything expected faded out
Once I was a princess, now I've become a stone
Stoned, I waited for friends
And they gave me drugs to make me feel more alive
I waited for love, I waited for him
He waited for my body, without any heat
But this is the city, this is the sea
From a throne built upon concrete waves
The queen stares at the void
In grey, in asphalt seas I'll dive
All those dreams broken by carelessness
Were swallowed down
In grey, in asphalt seas I'll dive

Skyscrapers
10:43
|
|

You wanted what you have
A prison made to isolate yourself
It crackles, you’re unsafe
Ascending, isolating from the rest
Skyscrapers, our Babel
I'll lead you to where you've never been
Guess all the occasions that we missed
Developing vertically in towers of glass
Walls – communication failed
Detached and imprisoned by concrete thoughts
It crackles, you’re unsafe
You are Icarus with wings of glass
Skyscrapers, our Babel
Neapolis' architect is in your head
Fear me!
I am all and nothing
Step in the kingdom of loss
Let go of all your expectations
Bow down to the rubble and rust
Accept the fact that you want to
Be me!
God of cold perfection
Step into the city of lead
Erase yourself among grey walls
Step back and watch the cancer spread
You know this is the end
Ascending
Isolating
You know this is the end
Sometimes we bend
For the world we're trying to save
Sometimes we break
But the world just doesn't care
And the wind will clean what's left
Once we were conquerors
And now we're prey
Once we broke barriers
And now we can't escape from here
Syncing our hearts to the traffic lights
Drowning in soot as the days go by
Like bees with barcodes in an artificial hive
Is this world for me to live in
Or is it just my tomb?
It shatters under your feet
Feel free while the flight turns into fall
Skyscrapers becoming sand
Neapolis burns forever then

Our Image

Create
Life can only come from life
What is dead will not be born again
Your heart is beating in your chest
And I know it always will
We do not need an end for this
I swear it's true cause it's me and you, a world in blue
Yes it's me and you and we'll get through
Our birth
Did it come from love or not?
How can flowers bloom in mud?
Through oppression we were growing up
It's a lesson we have learned
We do not need an end for this
I swear it's true cause it's me and you, a world in blue
Yes it's me and you and we'll get through
'Cause all I need
Is to hear your voice
To tell me I'm safe
And if I die
I'll ask you to come with me
I'carry you through the clouds
And show you we left the world
A better place to live in
We'll see our kids and cats
We'll watch them grow old
Learning the only thing we taught
We were created in an image
And our image is love
