IT MUST NOT RAIN No more pain in vain I can feel it burning Hey! You’re just insane You moving picture, you’re not alive No more, illusions, Abyss, ahead Fake smile, assumption Your life is merging to the end! He looks at the sky Fears the horizon A dark brushstroke He may not return He runs and runs in circles Trying to find a way out A well known exit Since long ago Nothing’s for sure, nothing’s certain, but now Behind the wooden shell awaits… his(her) life “Panic, I need to get the hell out of here, this can’t be happening, (…) I know that light doesn’t lie, but – this can’t be for real. (…) I’ll go higher, looking for a so-called peace, outside this haze (…) I-I think I can move.” “I can feel the shades, their ignorance, their indifference, it all turns back on me. Is this a lesson? Is this life? I can’t get the meaning! (…) it’s like the darkness is aware of this state of mind, and somehow (…) this is my dawn, not her dawn.” The tempest stalks The final need To wipe the sky Covered with tears of deceit His short journey Turns into a eternal nightmare It all turns black Aching black, Deadly black Nothing’s for sure, nothing’s certain, but now Once more enslaved by his own… It must not rain The purity’s compromised Will I break the spell? For an illusion of life Don’t be me, or feel me, It wouldn’t be worth it It must not rain It wouldn’t be worth it, no Time is shown, in this cell, Endless, feared, suppressed, “I need to get the hell out of here, Free my self for God sake and fly”. Something’s here don’t let me down My friend. Bring me down I don’t have time to fall again.

Freak Show 05:30
FREAK SHOW We're getting close to the next stop We're getting right to the core Where reason fades into ashes and impulse takes control Freak Show at midnight A light blinding the present Feel the lust passing that door An insufficient intrusion for illusion takes its toll Freak Show Eternal Surreal warnings Four big steps down to the floor A way back home I could deploy A fast retreat of body and soul Hate! Greed! Scars! Need! Blood! Flesh! Die! Gain more disillusions True smiles, assumptions Your life is merging to hell! Take me away It’s all your pain A Sun that shines in front of my eyes A new breaking dawn guiding me The calm trace of the sea healing my skin Though I feel these burns dying isolated, right here inside myself, Delusions will end, a future’s ahead No More! No answer was left no disillutions at all at last his mind, will shine again

P`RE (CARNIVAL OF LIES) There is no tomorrow Only a distant passed yesterday fading me away I moved dust and fire even forced the poet, to step aside from my own fight I won't escape you're my strength I've been fulfilled I had been asleep I’m gonna lose my mind Down this carnival I'm just a clown From this unfaithful lie I'm crawling near... but then... (Go) I need to try (Now) No matter Why (Follow) Follow my Faith (no) I'll never break (Fear) I won't give in [Feel destiny, you will succeed] (Closer) I feel it near [Go now my friend, Fight now be brave.] (Vision) Life is too short [Look at her smile, strength you must find] (Future) Don't lose control [Deep in this haze, love will prevail] I can feel the madness in your eyes touched by an intrinsical indecision -for what?- Frustrating any attempt of intrusion in your life -I try but I can't- release this inhibition Words arrive in Vain (Vanishing unheard) Thoughts remain unknown forced to resignation I Have reached the point of no return no longer afraid Won't take any pain NO MORE! I've been fulfilled I had been asleep I’m gonna lose my mind Down this carnival I'm just a clown Am I? From this unfaithful lie I've been fulfilled I had been asleep I’m gonna lose my mind Down this carnival you let me down see you later good bye

RELIABLE FATE I can feel the evilness, but I can’t read her eyes, Ancient ways to hide the truth behind the lies, Only the believers shall remain and will arise, Now! Heaven and Hell unite! The door is already locked and there is no turning back. Mirror from the eternal light, Help me to discover my life, I have wasted too much time, There is no place to leave behind. Trapped in a senseless fight, Hard to recognize what is right, I am in the shadows, Face it right now, open your eyes, Open now! Hear me falling (I hear your screams) Keep me breathing (Now!) I am calling you (Answer me, answer me!) I am going down… Her unconscious words danced with terror in my mind, My word’s echo filled the silence of the night, “Try to understand your future and you’ll learn your past” Silent hopes, into a crying sky, The door is already locked and there is no turning back. Mirror from the eternal light, Help me to discover my life, I have wasted too much time, There is no place to leave behind. Trapped in a senseless fight, Hard to recognize what is right, I am in the shadows, Face it right now, open your eyes, In the end, ashes left, Your time will come.

MIND ON THE RUN Cold, falling from a dream Watching every window Lost, I hear screams inside my head. My cold body lies my mind has traveled far My life and my pride will die within my lust I’m so far away right now I’ll wait for them, aside, I might have to make this trip, My pain’s healed I had reborn Pain, hard for me now I’ve led my side It shines on my soul Like a king was dethroned (by his own knights) Something knew he would not control Like a fool that has won (his own fight) Now he rules His dry, empty heart “No matter when, no matter how. fears will fade, Mind on the run Day after day, night after night Angels will die, up in the sky”

THE FALL OF MEN I've seen a painting Something acknowledged but not done. So many fears, Descriptions dying into one, Feeling safe? Ignorance should be my guest, I'll breathe my heart out, astray, (Nothing could matter, far beyond, so…) High and low, the tide always falls. Staring imperfection I've grown to realize its price Though immorality was chosen For this eroding path A sudden strike, a deadly one Strives and whispers for control A blurred projection once again Distorting every single thought. And careless it begins to rise, Expecting me, to reach and drown, But with my own thirst and dismay, I couldn't wait until it drains, “Feeling so cold” Finally, it feels like, Here I stand, If I could take you by my side, I've lost my pride, My madness brought me were I stand. Just in case, I won't give up, Here I stand, If I could take you by my side. I've lost my pride, My madness brought me were I stand. I'm scared to death as this enclosure fades away I can’t think Nothing certain except for this pain. I can’t escape from this Freak Show (Ascending by diverging roads, intending not to loose control) (Descending with the same old load, a segway in this inner fall)
9.
THE WAITING ROOM Times like these, can change The slightliest thing can make too much, And the clock’s still ticking, And I’m surrounded in its dizziness, The one that’s drifting in my mind. From one to three starts the frenzy, Clouds continue getting empty, Guided by a single burden growing, older, bigger and Strong. Though it feels good, it seems good, It claims to be right, But why is it fading? “Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts Not a single one I could embrace” “This leads to nowhere and I just Keep running in circles.” Just want to shut down, it burns like hell’s fire. Then everything will turn out fine, right? Something holds my love and what scares me the most is that I truly believe this might be my only chance. Do you know that feel? The void of self awareness Embeautied in its most pure form. Embrace your soul instead. Did you consider the Human Condition, the Human Trinity? Mind, body and Soul… You cannot exist without any of them, You are FIRE! And you are consuming. Feel, touch, breathe, run, love, swim, Climb, laugh, cry, feed your elements. Take control if you want to burn like a thousand suns, This is your only chance! I’m not going to put up with this! You’ve got a whole world Right in front of you! All those things you can do are just there waiting for you to take control. Did you think this might’ve been Your only chance? And yet you seem unable to grasp this freedom That’s right in your eyes. Keep me in this world, Spinning no control, Shadows on my soul I will destroy them all You can’t expect silent prayers, Reaching in and out Lost in this place Carried away, No destination for my own. I’m stripped away outside this world. A faithless ride “Hello, hi, how are you? Fine, okay? It’s time to unveil this lies. Stop pretending, we need to be ourselves. Shut up and listen for once, you know.” I’m sick of chasing thoughts again In every way, a new life it’s found It’s time to move on… Long ago, I’ve heard about this place, Somewhere I used to go to find myself, To breathe and die again But now I can’t remember who I was, Just in time to know for sure Not always you can’t stop. Outside this room You cannot hide Your deepest nightmares will arise An Inner Fall to claim for every night. No need to hide (I need to try) Just one more time (No matter why) So follow my strength I need to believe (In something) And nothing seems right. No! I can’t pretend no more! I can’t pull through this again! In this Waiting Room Ripples fading, scenes erased.
