[Verse 1]
I’m still learning
I’ve got the voices inside my head saying
Never give up keep going on
That together is better than on your own
I’m still learning
Ideas coming from all around
How to get to success
And be worriless
But everything goes wrong
[Chorus]
Got these heroes everyday on my phone
They’re surrounding me but I’m still alone
And I focus, I’ve got nothing
They’re showing me all the ways I can go
I’m so overwhelmed I’d rather stay home
I focus, I’ve got nothing
[Verse 2]
I should be earning
So I’m working day and night
If I’m consistent I’ll be excellent
Need to be patient until the end
I should be earning
Their vision just seems right
They got started, progressed
That’s how they got to success
And nothing goes wrong
[Chorus]
Got these heroes everyday on my phone
They’re surrounding me but I’m still alone
And I focus, I’ve got nothing
They’re showing me the different ways I can go
And I’m still isolated I’d rather stay home
I focus, I’ve got nothing
[Bridge]
They’ve got money, got fame
Got love, got game
Got business, got aim
And I work the same
I focus yet nothing
I focus yet nothing
I focus
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Got these heroes everyday on my phone
They’re surrounding me but I’m still alone
And I focus, I’ve got nothing
They’re showing me the different ways I can go
And I’m still isolated I’d rather stay home
I focus, I’ve got nothing

Pulls My Blood

[Verse 1]
Woah, you should slow it down
Cause I’m going, going out of my mind
Woah, don’t wanna be a clown
Soon you’re gonna regret it, be hated in town
There’s no resemblance to what I do
you should be looking down
You’re going out of line better
stop and turn around
[Pre-chorus]
What they call the wrong way I call a different point of view
I’ll look the other way and ignore you
[Chorus]
It pulls my blood through my veins
Let it build up, let me live the pain
It pulls my blood
Through my veins
It pulls my blood through my veins
Let it build up, never feels the same
It pulls my blood
Through my veins
[Verse 2]
Woah, things are going fine
You’re still in chains and stuck at the former baseline
Woah, your spine is on decline
Fascinated by a kid who didn’t stay within the lines
[Pre-chorus]
If you say I can’t have one well then I need two
so let me be I’m gonna do what I need to do
[Chorus]
It pulls my blood through my veins
Let it build up, let me live the pain
It pulls my blood
Through my veins
It pulls my blood through my veins
Let it build up, never feels the same
It pulls my blood
Through my veins
[Solo]
[Build-up]
Woah, you should slow it down
Cause I’m going, going out of my mind
[Chorus]
It pulls my blood through my veins
Let it build up, let me live the pain
It pulls my blood
Through my veins
It pulls my blood through my veins
Let it build up, never feels the same
It pulls my blood
[Final chorus]
It pulls my blood through my veins
Let it build me up, let me live the pain
It pulls my blood
It pulls my blood through my veins
Let it build me up, never feels the same
It pulls my blood

Traitor
04:23

|
[Verse 1]
Taming simple people, even average self-esteem
Easily succeeding doing good or so it seems
craving recognition the taste of power only green
The prize awaits the one that becomes the greatest in the sea
[Chorus]
Miss a step and they shade you
Be the next best they trade you
Judging these traits and data
A traitor you are, a traitor you are
[Verse 2]
Facing disapproval, trying harder, burning out
Bracing for the impact, better off living without
Dealing with indifferent people who feel that they’re owed
There’s a ceiling to it just remember you reap as you sow
[Chorus]
Miss a step and they shade you
Be the next best they trade you
Judging these traits and data
A traitor you are, a traitor you are
Missed attempt you’re in danger
Been so good now they they fail you
I’ve been trying to tell you
A traitor you are a traitor you are
[Chorus]
Miss a step and they shade you
Be the next best they trade you
Judging these traits and data
A traitor you are, a traitor you are
Missed attempt you’re in danger
Been so good now they they fail you
I’ve been trying to tell you
A traitor you are a traitor you are

Dreaming

[Verse 1]
Everything I see
Is made of silver and gold
Picture reality
And then count to three
It’s like I’m in a dream
Everything I feel
Nothing like I’ve been told
Sometimes I fly in the clouds until I lose my sight
[Prechorus]
Drowned by the skies while I’m asleep
Such a big world, opportunities are endless
Exploring crazy fantasies
Things you want to see but cannot reach
[Chorus]
Dreaming of
alternate realities where I’m
Facing who I really wanna be
Running
to strange places with unease
To unveil the face of an honest man
[Verse 2]
I dream to the degree that
The night swallows me whole
Can’t tell what is real
I’m not impressed by what’s happening
Not feeling heat or cold
My skin turns to stone
Resistant to anyone who’s trynna
change my mind if it’s not me noone’s gonna
[Prechorus]
Pushed down from overwhelming heights
Such a big world getting more intimidating every second
Fear is desire in disguise
Won’t learn it til I’ve paid the price
[Chorus]
Dreaming of
alternate realities where I’m
Facing who I really wanna be
Running
to strange places with unease
To unveil the face of an honest man
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Dreaming of
alternate realities where I’m
Facing who I really wanna be
Running
to strange places with unease
To unveil the face of an honest man
[Chorus]
Sitting around
Until I see the night
And then I go
Be what I want
Fear what I don’t
Going around
Until I see the light
And then I go
Out in the world
Out in the real world

Turn Back Time
03:14
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Sneak in a trick or two
Are you down to continue
Always trying to keep a straight face
As much as I want to
Show the world who‘s about lose
I pretend to keep the same pace
The game we play seems to
Stop all the fun we used to
Have when you and I were children
What score I’m gonna earn
Is not based on what I learn
My smile fades away
And stays away
[Chorus]
I hold my breath and hope for the best
Shower you with praise and wait for the next
I wonder how it would be if we
turned back time
[Verse 2]
Even though I know you do
I don’t cheat my way through
To the quick and easy way out
I enjoy it yes I do
But sometimes it’s hard to lose
I wish it was the other way around
Was I bright when I was young
Or was it all just overdone
Do I still make them proud
In thinking about the past
My mistakes were not the last
My smile fades away
And stays away
[Chorus]
I hold my breath and hope for the best
Shower you with praise and wait for the next game
I wonder how it would be if we
turned back time
I hope my stress will not be my guest and
I’ll find a way to live unrepressed
I wonder how it would be if we
turned back time
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I hold my breath and hope for the best
Shower you with praise and wait for the next game
I wonder how it would be if we
turned back time
I hope my stress will not be my guest and
I’ll find a way to live unrepressed
I wonder how it would be if we
turned back time

Blind

[Verse 1]
Lately it’s been kinda so so
Chasing change though it’s unknown
Everything is getting unpredictable
My head’s been working a bit too slow
True I’ve been focusing on me though
But there can always be a way to fix it
[Pre-chorus]
It’s such a complicated matter for someone like me
My sense is weakened it’s been going on for several weeks
Probably should go ask a doctor, write an inquiry
It’s getting really really hard to see
[Chorus]
Should I give in let go
Trying to understand
But I’m blind
I’m blind
Tell me what’s going on
Is it just an understatement
That I’m blind
I’m blind
[Verse 2]
Gotta keep up never let go
Still kinda feels like in the photo
So why do I feel there’s a distance
Never noticed that slow growth
True after work I feel so ko
Got no wonder there’s a bigger resistance
[Pre-chorus]
It’s such a complicated matter for someone like me
My sense is weakened it’s been going on for several years
Feels like I am getting closer to my expiry
So, doctor, could you cure me help me see
[Chorus]
Should I give in let go
Trying to understand
But I’m blind
I’m blind
Tell me what’s going on
Is it just an understatement
That I’m blind
That I’m blind
[Bridge]
Do you feel the same way about me
Or would you tell me to stop whining and set priorities
Do I take this way too seriously
That I’m blind
[Chorus]
Trying to understand
But I’m blind
I’m blind
Tell me what’s going on
Is it just an understatement
That I’m blind
That I’m blind
[Chorus]
Should I give in let go
Trying to understand
But I’m blind
I’m blind
Tell me what’s going on
Is it just an understatement
That I’m blind
That I’m blind

Prisoners

|
[Verse 1]
What was I trying to do
Didn’t mean to be put here
I was too careless now I’m locked up
for another 20 years
It’s breaking my heart in two
But nobody can see
Reflecting on those good ol times yea
When I was young and free
Disappeared from the world that I held dear
Now I look around me, see a loser there and loser here
Oh, I fear It’s the end of my career
Or it might be my career’s the end of me
[Chorus]
Prisoners
Trynna get away
Lost all the reasons the reasons to stay, oh
Foreigners
Shifting all the blame
Once a prisoner..
[Verse 2]
What if I told you
That the prison is me
I was chasing all these other things
Couldn’t take me honestly
Oh, getting captured
By these walls I couldn’t see
The longer that I tolerate them
the thicker they will be
They say
Be a man even as you waste away
Thanks for the advice
I’ll do it my own way
Find a crack, push against it it will break
It’s easy to say but I’d rather stay
Cause we’re
[Chorus]
Prisoners
Trynna get away
Lost all the reasons the reasons to stay
Foreigners
Shifting all the blame
Once a prisoner that shit won’t go away
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Prisoners
Trynna get away
Lost all the reasons the reasons to stay
Foreigners
Shifting all the blame
Once a prisoner that shit won’t go away

Real Life Theater
03:10
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Stop – let me give you an easy task
Think - when did you last take off the mask
Because of your self-consciousness
Feeling like you have to compare
Stuck, but you look so confident
Not finding words to compliment
yourself, you’re pulling out your hair
And the world is so unfair
[Pre-chorus]
Jealousy and hankering
True self always hampering
You wanna be someone that you’re not
But you’re better of using what you’ve got
[Chorus]
We’re hiding behind the curtains too much
The more we stay the more we’re confused
We are afraid that if we’re not perfect, they’ll judge
It’s a real life theater
[Verse 2]
If you don’t have a good enough reputation
You are not recognised as a good person
So you fake and lie which is so ironic
It becomes a mask and it gets chronic
If you don’t have a good enough reputation
You might need to buy a bit of admiration
So your shiny lies get so repetitive
Ratings get much more competitive
[Pre-chorus]
Jealousy and hankering
True self always hampering
You wanna be someone that you’re not
But you’re better of using what you’ve got
[Chorus]
We’re hiding behind the curtains too much
The more we stay the more we’re confused
We are afraid that if we’re not perfect, they’ll judge
It’s a real life theater
[Solo]
[Chorus]
The lights are now shining the curtains have part
They show the truth when no one else can
A stage for our fears, our intentions, our heart
It’s a real life theater

Staying Alive
03:54
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
No time to sleep
No stress relief
I’m desperately in need
And I’m losing sight
Forgetting what I need
Nothing’s been achieved
And you still seem to believe in me
Keeps me up at night
[Pre-chorus 1]
It goes down down down down
Down this path started a while back can’t turn around
Down down down
I’ll see you on the ground
[Chorus]
Staying alive feeding off of my own bones
While you’re out there staying in the zone
Not gonna have a reasonable conversation
Til I amaze you
Staying alive feeding off of my own bones
While you’re out there staying in the zone
Not gonna have a reasonable conversation
Til I amaze you
[Verse 2]
Can’t focus on anything
Can’t show I’m weak
Dreaming of a distant reality
It makes me blind, I’m blind
I’ve cleared my eyes
The things I sacrifice
It’s gonna take a bit of time
Escape this spiral of mine
[Pre-chorus 2]
It goes down down down
I hope I’ll be able to turn around
Down down down
[Chorus 2]
Staying alive feeding off of my own bones
While you’re out there staying in the zone
Not gonna have a reasonable conversation
Till I amaze you
Staying alive feeding off of my own bones
Realising it’s not the way to go
I’m not envious you are just an inspiration
And I wanna amaze you
[Bridge]
Ooh, suffocate I’m struggling for breath, choke to death, it’s getting hotter
Ooh, suffocate I’m struggling for breath, choke to death
Woah, woah, ooh
Woah, woah, ooh

Coming Home
03:49

|
[Verse 1]
Standing on top of the world at least I think it’s this way
My memories are saturated but my sight is grey
I’ve got a million reasons I should stay
Still I have to go and walk away
So I’m coming home to you today
Choosing passivity just to make it through the day
Now I’m staring into space my eyes are far away
Mind’s a mess, it tells me I shouldn’t stay
But it’s so difficult to walk away
Still I’m coming home to you today
[Chorus]
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’ll never forget the beautiful years I will never let go
I’m coming home
[Verse 2]
Things work out, not always how we want them to
No matter what there’s always negativity to get into
Think I enjoy it all but I’m not okay
Sometimes I think I’m really going insane
So I’m coming home to you today
[Chorus]
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’ll never forget the beautiful years I will never let go
I’m coming home
