Conscious all day, cautious in my own way Coincidence seems oh so strange And my actions are estranged Unconscious, but still awake Things that are by chance seem to always break I never knew I could map out my life Destined to live each and every day aware of what will come Deep down inside I do have all the answers My misfortune, my burden in life is to know what will come Nothing comes undone Predict and prevail: that’s me A skilled mechanic, the artificer of destiny An inner panic of knowing what will become of me Predict the future and my eyes the only ones to see A heavy burden of endless possibilities Misled by God, endowed immense qualities Imprints of guilt, a repenting soul inside of me My own misfortune, a lack of capability A great success or a minor probability A wound that will never leave a scar A pain that won’t go away You still don’t know who you really are Wise words gone astray Every choice (every choice), every thought (every thought), every step Stumbling in my own feet Every word (every word) and every sentence (every sentence), every line Everyone comes, comes undone I never knew I could map out my life (knew I could map out my life) Destined to live each and every day aware of what will come Deep down inside I do have all the answers My misfortune, my burden in life is to know what will come Nothing comes undone Predict and prevail: that’s me

Carelessness at war You follow your own orders With no regards You trespass all borders You grind whatever flesh The war-mill requires As you take off your mask My sympathy expires Salutations! I greet you, I plead to you My nation! Now I bow to you Our religion! Deny it or succumb to it One decision! It’s always up to you We witness the stronghold of double standards With the whole world in the front row seats Just tune in to your favorite channel And watch the ultimate defeat When we are in that place, we are one Namaste Bow before me, brothers Show your respect Then create devastation in the name of peace ...Carelessness at war... ...You follow your own orders... ...With no regards... ...You trespass all borders... ...You grind whatever flesh... ...The war-mill requires... ...As you take off your mask... ...My sympathy expires... Here I stand before you I’ll bleed for you and die for you Namaste Bow before me, brothers Show your respect Then create devastation in the name of peace Show me your strength And together we die Forever we will live

If we could sense each other in the presence of another Just for one day, would it make a difference anyway? If I knew what you were thinking, I wouldn’t bother wasting my time I’d spend my day being out of harm’s way There’s no success without will What you gain ain’t free in life It isn’t where you come from It’s where you’re going that counts You get back into the saddle again Ride alongside life’s rain And walk out as the winner When you own the game Would you live with it or let it go? Will you remember it all with only one goal? When time catches up with you then I’ll know what you’ll do You’ll keep living a lie, don’t you know? Now place your bets on this game And never let the scornful doubts of disbelievers Have your spirit put to shame You know what you have found So close your eyes for the second round Would you live with it or let it go? Will you remember it all with only one goal? When time catches up with you Then I’ll know what you’ll do You’ll keep living a lie, don’t you know? Don’t you know? Live it or let it go Remember it all, if only one goal Then time catches up with you And there is no more to do In the life that was you Would you live with it or let it go? Would you live with it or let it go? Now would you live with it or let it go? Will you remember it all? Live with it or let it all go (Will you remember it all?) Now will you live with it or let it go?

Don’t live a life caught in shadows Your eyes will miss out on what’s here for us That colors our minds with intentions That leads us to choose and take the path less traveled by Just reach within and shed your skin Don’t be afraid (if it leaves a scar) Sometimes it might take you far Stand your ground – it’s time to face your fears Now become the one you’ve locked away for years Looking back, you’ve always found a reason for the easy way out Your life in a reflection There comes a time when we need the answers There comes a time when we’re all alone Although we’re bound to this together You’ll have to walk the path alone I never told you that it would be easy I never told you I would be around to save you from yourself Now you see all the whys It’s time you make your own decisions and let me go Let me go... Stand your ground – it’s time to face your fears Now become the one you’ve locked away for years Looking back, you’ve always found a reason for the easy way out Your life in a reflection Life in a reflection! There comes a time when we need the answers There comes a time when we’re all alone Although we’re bound to this together We’ll have to walk the path alone I never told you that it would be easy (the easy way out) And now you see all the whys (your life in a reflection) It’s time you make your own decisions and let me go (your life in a reflection) Go...

I’m searching for a place to land You have my life unguarded Like the deserts miss the rain, I feel the pain I reach to you my weary hand A petty man so blinded Can’t wait for you to understand It’s just who I am... Reaching deep, and if I can Then I will know... Underneath my skin, it will show Although I’ve have been wounded I know that time will heal the scars we bear And that we’ll make them our own I reach to you my weary hand A petty man so blinded Can’t wait for you to understand I need to know who I am... Reaching deep, and if I can Then I will know... The stream of life will flow With judging eyes, who’ll pass the test? Unlike before, distinct from the rest I’m touching down on naked ground Then walk away without a sound I’ll try my best to realize, yeah All too often I’ve tried to change Destination known like the back of my hand And still with every time when it slipped out of range The trace it left remained unchanged A fragile trust... in faith I lust I reach to you my weary hand A petty man so blinded I can’t wait for you to understand I need to know who I am... Reaching deep, and if I can Then I will know... The stream of life will flow With judging eyes, who’ll pass the test? Unlike before, distinct from the rest I’m touching down on naked ground Then walk away, away without a sound

I never thought I’d live to know this feeling A stream of emotions flowing through me I used to think that I would learn how to forget Please help me through the days without regrets Define or defeat you Me and I about to collide I used to hope for a miracle Decide and fend for me, like all hope was lost So I got used to the pain of being used Everything felt and looked transparent I’m starving from the lack of myself I’m suffering around my own well-being Please, someone help me through and take away the pain Define or defeat you Me and I about to collide I used to hope for a miracle Decide and fend for me, like all hope was lost So I got used to the pain of being used I used to think that this was as good (As it could get) as it could get (being used) Define myself It feels like I’m going nowhere I used to hope for a miracle (miracle) miracle Decide for myself It seemed like all hope was lost So I got used to the pain of being used

I try to be what you wanted me to be but sometimes it ain’t easy being me Don’t ask me where I’m going, who I’m with and what we did Your blinding third-degree interrogation is pulling me down Don’t need a rainy day I can hear the people screaming Everybody called my name Every now and then, I feel like I am drowning You go down on your knees just because you wanna make me forget how it really feels You blame it all on me, one after another Listen, my “friend,” I’m not the only one I tried to be what you wanted me to be You thought my life was easy You could not foresee I’m not your four-leaf clover that you carry around I’m not a wheel of fortune I’m not your lucky charm I’m painted on your wall You want me in the family tree I can hear the people screaming Everybody wants to see Every now and then (you’d see me) you’d see me drowning You go down on your knees just because you wanna make me forget how it really feels You blame it all on me, one after another Listen, my “friend,” I’m not the only one I’m not the only one How do we choose right from wrong when we don’t know which battles we should end? Who do we trust when the need of a friend is what matters the most? Does it make it right to invade our lives and breach down the fences around us? You saved the trees, the polluted seas, but you won’t be the one, the one they’ll remember The one they’ll remember You go down on your knees just because you wanna make me forget how it really feels You blame it all on me, one after another Listen, my “friend,” I’m not the only one You go down on your knees just because you wanna make me forget how it really feels You blame it all on me, one after another Listen, my “friend,” I’m not the only one

When did it come to this? These drained emotions I feel guilty for not being inspired I can see you reaching out to me But I leave you floating after I am free of you I should be missing what we had in loving memory To whom do I turn for a new beginning? All alone until the end Who do I trust with this task of solace... (in loving memory)? I have lost the power to feel Turned to stone, my heart blackened I should have seen what was good Not been so easily blinded All that glitters isn’t gold Every shimmering rock I’ve collected Kept weighing me down Pulling me to the ground All that I have left of us is a memory A picture of you and me Have I forsaken my destiny? I have lost the power to feel Turned to stone, my heart is bleeding I should have seen what was good Not been so easily blinded All that glitters isn’t gold Every shimmering rock I’ve collected Kept weighing me down Pulling me to the ground All that I have left of us is a memory A picture of you and me Have I forsaken my destiny?

It all came down the other day I was waiting for the call, hoping they would say Everything is gonna be all right And you would come home tonight I’ve been having bad dreams since the day the news arrived Been living in hope and facing the fear Of losing you and have my life deprived I can see the pain in your eyes and the hell you’re going through And if I could, I would sacrifice and give my life for you No, here we are at the end of our road It’s time to say our goodbyes Last breath of life, with a silent cry I remember the walks we had The nights we never slept I remember the time when you turned and said to me: “I will always love you, I will never let you go” In my heart, that’s where you follow Now it’s time for you to know There were times my heart was aching There were times I thought I’d make it on my own This is my last goodbye I see the cloudless skies Inside my soul it cries Some say it’s like autumn breeze Some say it’s just a game we play I believe it will go away But until that day, I would be here in my own misery Misery... When you went away that day, the world came down on me Oh we’ve been best of friends forever and now it is time to let you go Your spirit carries on as my life continues on alone... “I will always love you, I will never let you go” In my heart, that’s where you follow Now it’s time for you to know “I will always love you, I will never let you go” In my heart, that’s where you follow There were times my heart was aching There were times I thought I’d make it on my own This is our last goodbye (This is our last goodbye) I see the cloudless skies Inside my soul it cries The scent makes me remember you I see the cloudless skies Inside my soul it cries The scent makes me remember you I see the falling skies Inside my soul it cries The scent makes me remember you I see the falling skies Inside my soul it cries The scent makes me remember you (This is our last goodbye) (I will never let you go) (This is our last goodbye) (I will never let you go)
