Two Worlds 05:09
Two worlds Montauk, NY Em: Does it really matter knowing why I have become a smiling action figure trapped inside a crystal ball ? Watching the plastic fake snow that’s falling down, bottom-side-up I’m still here, hoping to hear the crashing sound Look in my world, Can’t you see I’m trying so hard To find my way home ? Can’t you hear me crying through a wall that I can’t break ? Will you come and wake me? Will it disappear? Will you find the strength to cross between two worlds? Misplaced and tired I drift inside a state of mind, Awake in a nightmare I never asked for Yet nobody cares Searching for pieces of a life that’s gone forever In every word I left unsaid In every moment you’re not here Can’t you see I’m trying so hard To find my way home . Can’t you hear me crying through a barrier I can’t break . Can I stand a chance against the universe? when into my hands there’s nothing but still rain Look at my world I’m so tired to fight against things that I can’t explain Can’t you see I’m trying so hard to understand ? Will you come and take me far from all of this ? Will you sacrifice your world to save mine ?

Exit Strategy Montauk Lighthouse, Montauk NY Em: I’ve been sitting here for quite some time now. Loud voices all around unknown to me. A familiar place, yet everything’s different: A labyrinth that’s made just of a corridor. And these days, they are passing through my inconsistency. And the air that I breathe seems like poison, corroding what’s left of my feelings. But I cannot go on anymore. Every morning I wake up to relive my groundhog day. Every morning I know I could change the world. Yet I’m trapped here in this lovely square one. In this big nothing I’m a social antichrist. Just another face that slowly melts into the darkness In silence, I slide in their busy living Like a ghost in disguise A tactician of a war That I cannot understand And I cannot fight. Then by nightfall I lie down so damn sure It’s going to change Doesn’t matter how long I'll keep falling, I will be moving Even running in circles, I’ll be moving Secretly trying to stay still so tomorrow everything will be the same. Cause facing the truth will just destroy forever this naive illusion that I could be loved again. There is no tomorrow. There is no tomorrow. Where is my tomorrow? So, where is my tomorrow?

Another World Montauk Lighthouse, Montauk NY Em: I will hold you forever He said. And I promise I’ll never Be afraid Will you marry me, “Pumpkin” ? For a moment I knew that all my dreams were fulfilled And every morning you will wake and see me smiling When you’ll fall asleep I will be there, for you, for you. If you fall I will catch you, He said. In the mist I will find you Through the light in your eyes Cause every moment that I spent with you has saved me And the broken life I used to live just disappeared And I will Break the moon and paint the skies to see you happy, I will go through all the universe to find you, I won’t grab a single flower cause I’ll bring you there. I’d create another world For you, for you. Look at me now Look at me now Where are you now?

Nonexistent 02:41
Nonexistent Utopia Parkway, Queens, NY Em: Floating, carried by the crowd I’m harmless, sliding through their life My face, fading through the windows Her eyes, reflection of myself but she won’t Talk to me She looks at me She’s begging to get back to what it used to be Talk to me Please talk to me She’s trapped behind a glass too thick to get free People packed like salmons in a river getting nowhere Craving for attention when they get none People moving like androids in frenzy for salvation While I try to reach my own reflection She won’t talk to me She looks like me She doesn’t care about the grayed surroundings Talk to me please Ease my falling I’m scared to look away because I fear she’ll disappear Look inside the mirror Who’s the one that you’ll see? I have looked inside my heart: I’ve become nonexistent.

Beyond the universe 13 North End Avenue, NY I - Our own little world Ab: I’ll never understand why my life went like this Time passed by while dreams were growing older And all I wanted was silenced for another day Yearning for a chance to find a single reason to believe again that I'll find my way. Em: I’ll never understand this life, I never really cared To wait for just one day and start it over again or save you. I wish I’d find a better end but things will stay the same Em+Ab: So I just had to seal my heart and hide away In a place you’ll never reach In a world that can’t exist today I'm lost in this illusion I made Em: Yesterday I thought I had the answers Yet i’m here trying to give a sense Trying to understand. Day by day I’m losing pieces of my life and my heart had to pay the price Had to leave me here. Ab: Time has left me incomplete, Left me with more questions Too stiff to move along I’m lost in time It’s easy to realize who’s the prey and who’s the foe If you stand still while someone eats your heart Reinstate my peace of mind, Reanimate the carcass I’m becoming I am too sick to scavenge in between the lines For fragments of a meaning when there’s none. Em: We spend our life just waiting for something special That we’re craving for and yet we won’t see If we keep searching utopias rather than real things Em+Ab But life then slips away and all your dreams are gone in every single day you lost. Be an astronaut in space, Search for dinosaurs in caves, A musician, maybe a hero. Maybe Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. II- All my life Em All my life I searched for someone to fill that void Just like you did but In a different world A world that was nothing but a dream So I had to disappear and leave you there Beyond the universe. Beyond the universe. Beyond the universe. In the end I realise I was always here Right here by your side So far, so distant. Em+Ab: In this world that’s made of clones We waste our years being what we’re not And the ones we love just fade away In a place that’s just a simple state of mind

Lights Out 04:25
Lights out Montauk, NY Ab: I have been so deaf for much too long this voice I hear is now unknown to me Blinded by the need to avoid your face I wonder if that was a choice I made Cause i know that i’d never wanted to lose our memories, even the hell you put me through. I reached the last of me and you have been left out. There will be another life to see you smiling There will be another chance for our son There will be another night where I won’t ever let you go But the only thing I knew is disappeared as the last light went out. I can barely feel the difference now cause the only thing I hear is my own voice as it collides on the walls i’ve built all around breaking everything in a way I can’t control In the heart of everything I realize i’m but a shadow In the end everything collapses as my world implodes All I’ve ever lived for will be forever gone And at last i know That there will never be a life to see you smiling we will never know how brave would be our son And we’ll never live another day cause now we reached the final one And the only thing i see is just your face as the light goes out.
