Welcome to the only place where everything is posible. Lucid dreams and fantasy, for those who live in quiet pause. Open your eyes and see: nijt bajk, ojt nujt! Might be probably hard to forget. I'll stay around with jugglers, acrobats, dwarves. Welcome to the only place where everything is posible. You'll be able even to touch the things you thought invisible. Nobody dares to try, nijt bajt, ouf bult. Najt, najt, stritin foremajt icht bolt. I will spit the fire, I'll ride a bike, I'll jump mortal ramps. No, this is not a trick, some people split and hide. Now, I'm tired, think that is time to wake up. I believed everything that you said, and now you stand right after me where nobody tries and everyone cries don't give up tonight. And I, was wondering what if I'm late I’ll be barely down and upset whenever I'm trapped, remember your smile, and then I feel drowned, and I don't wanna spend just another day but neither I'm going insane and no matter what believe what you've got, believe what you've got. This is not the time to say I don't mind. I'm losing what we never found your ashes are mine, they’re inside you hand, this is our alibi.

I should be waiting at the door. I know that you will be waiting for, be waiting for us. A thousand times I locked the only door from every key that owned my useless crown. I'm looking for everyone, who's trace has been drowned, removed, erased, oooh by winter's haze. No, no, no, no excuses on this paved road. But, but, but, but the most I'm lost, the most I find. As you follow me I'm empty, you don't realise I'm aching I would rather say the word that no one dares to. In a minute could be vanished. My existence will be punished. Only time is fair enough to judge my harsh reality.

Dear Amalia 02:56
Dear Amalia, you're such a poem full of thoughts. But, dear Amalia, seems that you have lost your voice! Because I'm trying to be kind but you look like a desert without sand. Maybe, you could draw your feelings on a paperback. Wherever the wind may blow, I'm like a silent storm. Dear Amalia, perhaps you've lost your plastic words. And, dear Amalia, don't make me feel I'm on my own. Life is not an open book so, sadly, you will have to learn to laugh. If you want some peace of mind just leave it all behind. Whenever you need songs I'll be here waiting for. Dear Amalia, what do you expect from this damn boy? Please, dear Amalia, let's take a walk round Belgrave Rd. I've got plenty of time to hear the night while you quite simply pass me by. Lift your spirit, fill your soul to rise again the light. Let me say it one more time! Dear Amalia. Lovely, lovely!

The Others 03:45
They said: "The things you want will bring you bad luck". But we felt that there's no reason not to trust us. And we know that all those people here are waiting just for seeing us falling down. Where are they going with tons of shitty illusions, sir? They are trying just to reach out but meanwhile they are drowning in their pride. I guess there aren't just simply words. They said: “Only hope can sow frustration”. But we assume there is no point feeling pressured. And we know that all those people here, are waiting just for see us in the dust. No, we won't be a part of this stupid scene. Our place is not a theatre where everyone are actors or stars. I guess It doesn’t sound like haughty chords. And we know that all those people here, are praying just for see us bleeding dry. Let us bite the cause of your imaginaries. The pain could look much older when all you got is sunken at your heart.

It all started with a single question: “why don't you play your games outside?” He struggled hard against his fears, he felt the mud below his feet, he took the powder off his knees and faced the path with nothing but his dreams. He toured all over and across his country, he called at every single town. Carried along one single aim: “Make children smile, grown ups feel shame”. There's non-best suitable disguise when it's about revealing what we hide. He got to know his people, the richest, and the poorest. Everybody lies. The cheerful and the gloomy, the powned and the idler. All of them will die. Uuhh, but the best was about to come. And in his way came up a whistle, the time when sun becomes to clouds, rain falls. Plunge your thoughts into the riddles of our minds. Born, grow up, lie, die, but not all of us love. Sing is love. And after all this time it's been since those days, no trace of him was ever found. It could be anyone of us, just bend the rules somebody's drawn. The unauthorized story of a minstrel we should learn how to crop out. Aahh, Uuhh, Uuhh at night he's probably walking with us.

You gave her everything but you need a light to stay awake until night is broken in two clouds. And after all this years as time is drifting through the past I'm carrying the weight of who we are. It might be hard to say: “I don't regret but I don't dare to be part of what we'll never be”. No need to understand, no need to impress to buy you trust. Unpack my fears, shouting: Goodbye honey, I say, goodbye honey. Time will make us shine. Goodbye honey I'll say goodbye honey. Only time will let us shine. It could have been a life but honestly, we realized that loving was our downfall. No need to rectify, no need to share our miseries. Unpack my fears, shouting: Goodbye honey, I say, goodbye honey. Time will make us shine.

Got a tea, maybe two, got a tea, for no one. Darjeeling, tangerine, It's a cup for someone. You sit where there's nobody. I've always waited just for you and if you, hear my melody don't fight or flight, you wait and see. Would you talk? Would you smile? Would you say you're sorry? Never mind, watch your back you're not always lonely. I'm here, spying from the dark behind the shadows, in your eyes and if you don't realize a second lasts forever. You're stuck with me for something, and its nothing. Then you stop to think, it's all been our mind. And for a while, it’s getting hard to smile, I don’t ask why. I should have learnt from my mistakes, But I guess that there is no way back. And eventually I’m alone, was not a dream or a bad trip. This ominious, dark and morbid place, wet as a lighter's oil. Drags me, hindering me, paralyzes me. Would you talk? Would you smile? Would you say you're sorry? Never mind, watch your back you're not always lonely. I'm here, spying from the dark behind the shadows, in your eyes and if you don't realize a second lasts forever. Uhhh, la la la la la. Then you stop to think, it's all been our mind. You're stuck with me for something. There's something you can't hide. Then you stop to think, it's all been our mind.

Paige is at a crossroad, decoding all life’s signs. Mack, cold as a contract, won a trial in Leeds. We all are part of this comedy. Lester drinks an Irish coffee at Palm Beach. Earl is in a bookstore looking for "The Theogony". And time goes by in between our eyes. And time goes by in between our eyes. Dad gave me a little sister with a young blonde from New York. I know that there’s no need to bring details from this carnival. We don’t have powers to avoid the death, so don’t waste our voices “just in case”. Cos’ life itself is full of joy & sorrows and the only way is to live it for what it is. Anton built a townhouse with his brother Landon. Jarvis love to love in his dirty & comfort flat. We are just God’s rumours, shooting stars. We are just God’s rumours, shooting stars. Mum escaped with a dentist from a Lebanese strip club and now she’s an angelical host of a popular & brand talk show. We don’t have powers to avoid the death, so don’t waste our voices “just in case”. Cos’ life itself is full of joy & sorrow and the only way is to live it for what it is.

When I saw you I thought: “I maybe call, I maybe not”. Then you wrote me those words. Bring me the sky, the wind, the grass, the lakes, your life, maybe the sun and all the colors you can have. I don't know you at all but feels like I've always known that you have already been there. I'll soon be back, I don't know why I'd like to see you when I land give you a hang like never have. And after time, I came to realize that no one really hurts if I'm with you. You'll get to know that wherever you are, you'll be where you feel. Then the homemade book, my eyes with tears that seem to be the same as when I sing this song. And after time, I came to realize that no one really hurts if I'm with you. You'll get to know that wherever you are, you'll be where you feel.

He wakes up every morning and he cuts the grass. He can’t stop thinking ‘bout stealing time to all the friends he needs to have. They didn’t know his masterplan. He feeds all his animals with promises. He’s earning all this money there’s no need to spend. But there is something you can’t buy with arrogance you cannot hide. And after all this time they didn’t realize that they were just a vehicle to dance with the stars. That there’s no need (pretending robberies) to justify that. You stole our trust.

The Trigger 05:04
I was looking for an exit even though you’re trying to hide. I was looking round the bedroom’s door to keep myself alive and scared. I was tumbling for an answer and the walls are closer now. I was searching through the backward doors and everywhere there's something that takes me there. And it’s you forever now and ever, I don’t really care if it’s all off. And it’s you forever now and ever, whenever you want me to go home It’s gonna last forever more. La la la la. La la la la la la la la la. I was dreaming ‘bout a better love even when you're only scars. I was searching under bedroom’s floor to claim it to the world I’m glad. I was vanishing without you all those things we didn’t mind. I was trying to sing "my sweet lord" but everything I play is touching you. And it’s you forever now and ever, I don’t really care if its all off. And it’s you forever now and ever, you might really didn't know how much I loved you, more than even more. And it’s you forever now and ever, I don’t really care if its all off. And it’s you forever now and ever, you might really didn't know how much I loved you, more than even more. La la la la. La la la la la la la la la. La la la la la. La la la la la la la. Whenever you want me to go home.

This is the story of an ancient king, a man who thought the entire world was his kingdom and that his words were guided by the grace of God. Just don't forget! Now please, please... let me tell us all, my patient and beautiful people of this proud country, which was exactly the reason why he betrayed us: "Far, in a lake from a foreign land there was a shy maid alone with her pain until Edward, the son of his majesty, came by and stole her dignity, without modesty. Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! No one could trap this pathetic youth but her father swore to commit revenge for that. He planned the war and destroyed the fields, kidnapped the king and demanded a reward instantly. And in the end countryside is white, In winter, but at night, after fire is black. Don't you forget, don't you forgive, it is worst than die, to live convicted to a heartrending life”.
