We lost all our faith in heaven dragged and stopped at gates so straight walked in flee from grins of old men casting us as second rate Heaving from such gentle beat down hands unjoining, lacking trust could not take those smirking sad frowns did resemble each of us Maybe in another life we'll tread along eat ricecakes in new years's eve and sing along Feeling for a step or ground I crave one last lay down of turnarounds what else to do instead outsiders from the past are making these sounds Feeling that I don't belong willing to stand another night among outsiders from the past what else to do instead of playing this song Marching strong eyes upfront heads held up high better to be forlorn than comply

The Motor 04:38
Well I don't think that such a thing as this said motor should be made as it would trample on its way the feats of others of its kin the strong can never do or make something to hurt the weak's conceit so other scientists' achievements can also find the light of day She sent him out and sat in loud dismay such vicious statement charged as moral debate, there's no mistake From each according to his skill to each according to his need these teachings contents make believe we ought to reach such fine ideal had not we heard this in every speech, in every news, in every film how were we not to be appealed by and go against this creed indeed She heard him out and had no doubt in place such vicious doctrine found its way in the game, it's now too late Yet the striker who'd never live life for another nor dare to ask this of a brother in contempt of these works of macabre decides he is not one to fold sets out to stop motors of all the world

We know it’s a waltz we carried it the most, suppose we both shared under the room light when we guaranteed our lean sighs going tight we know widows were wrong, we dumb, gone wrong pouring it out, out loud, our doubts smashed under the table, under rusty loving hearts What a darling little dress she shone to me leave it off, i asked she did I know it's a waltz I lost by default, a boast I hold, a chance to reunite but all dancers send invites, so polite I guess widows were right, and left, and right even about our proudest hour what a darling johnny gown she shone to me do you remember who I am?

Since when I lit the one first candle and made you out of clay I never thought you'd be so shallow to turn the other way No, there is no hope I thought you and I agreed you have to go as much as it hurts me You know I understand your grievance, so may you make sense of mine this garden has no place for evil, son I'm sad you crossed the line Go, rise up and go breaks my heart but I decree reap what you sow and walk away from here We're parting ways in this bittersweet fashion but listen closely as I speak so many torments you can't even fathom will club your gams until you bleed but I'll be there, as I always was to lift you up when times are bleak and in the end I'm proud of you because no son of mine wears himself weak May in your journey for the new you reach ambitions that you seek may you be free to make it through find higher paths to tread indeed may you love me as I love you farewell, my boy, godspeed

Begging for some rest from this god-awful dance exhaustion stealing my breath cracking bones, burning wounds never halting madness, Strasbourg's east and west possessed Merciless artform guiding to a fate of bodies crumbling to pain moving corpses, never-stopping agony in deceit, shaking to a deaf beat - cavort in st. Vitus' name Lost in debilitation feebleness working on a combination swinging and bop, two-step and hop caught on a slaving dance of plain suffering Tossed in exasperation torture pretending it's pure celebration twisting and waltz, boogie and moonwalk caught on a slaving dance of plain suffering jubilee Dancing even when my legs can't hold my body yet the party is on Dancing even when the pain is gone, so long

Gentlemen, your track is notorious any unsportsman-like behaviour is undone thus we beg for your grant in coherence as we meet unfair contention from the Sun How could one compete coming at loss when all its goods are free none of ours will be sought Such a valid stance is our demand prevent the oppression from it, pray commit or else our trade you doom so we can be encouraged, ban sunlight foraying our rooms

It begun all alone and to gallant no one raising splendor, the talent to laud the Sun yet to dictate all the norms It claws up the eastern wall Meritorious concatenation of laurels and feats to set up foundation what a fearsome endowment is found in ours fallow cunning to build on It wanders through the hanging vault Picturesque labarum may we all be consumed by the fire that gathers around all throngs they kindle under the blue dome It sets at the west again to be chased by dictum rain Carrying new dreams and having breakfast with unknown characters Walking to nowhere Now I see life is changing not in the way expected It's like i'm sitted watching as it goes by deeds assembled by the time Listening to sounds of tomorrow Just hearing sounds of tomorrow Songs no one else could borrow because they're mine my mind

Shy Guy 04:00
I wish I could refrain from staring at ya girl, you caught my eye and I want to tell you those things but I'm just a-one shy guy They shake their heads and tell me to forget not understanding why fall in love with someone like you are when I'm uncool and shy It isn't nice when you pass through my side you sweep me off the floor I try to catch up and say hi while you are reaching out the door And even if you threw a rock at me I wouldn't fight or cry couldn't care less bout what you did just wanna say I'm your shy guy But who am I trying to deceive you won't even see I exist, 'though my existance is just a bad dream as you won't see that i'm done tapdancing alone Flowers and shells and bricks and also what I love most like mushrooms even coins, twinkling stars bowls of delicious cherries, spaghetti in a heartbeat I would give all these to you

Whipping 06:13
What is done is done how can I atone for this rout I lay so unworthy of my name to serve the king was out of line if all I can bring is this fodder unfit for swine What is done is done how can I atone flawless in my head, my performance fell dead to go on living is out of line if under said litter is the sum of my talents combined To be praised for having done one's duty is the worst offense so how to show my face there's no defense Rig down this weight REPENT REPENT Renounce such shame REPENT REPENT What is done is done, I beg your attention François Vatel is gone his end dares explanation So let's share his triumphs, the reach of his grasp perfection in his craft no other art is high enough they all sound superfluous Let's share his triumphs here, they're so divine no king is fit to dine and thanks to him if anything to serve the king is out of line

Maybe some time they used to call us friends that age is now no more for all the things you've done there's no amend so I will give you your war You hide behind your iron mask of lies not even you believe what you can't grasp is that it made you blind that is what I can't forgive Point of no return has passed We will meet soon: may the die be cast You say I'm blind but can't see your actions are plain naive raising shields to guard, but assaulting me You seem to think you know best your words no one can contest things are never black or white as you guess These are not lies I tell your thoughts are fake as well doesn't make them true just because you yell Where is that man I know now only loathing grows burning what's left of a long time ago Oath made in candor bonds of much higher standard than blood brothers in arms and vouched trust know not one man shall forego plights we take and hold Kinship of virtue molded on ceaseless nurture, my friend rapports of union never end shout so the sky never doubts of such a steadfast vow

My faith is true despite my creed whatever You do I cannot see all these deceptions are ruining me no one is hearing my pleas Such lack of love gave life to plans something from above but made by man New Motive Power is to be born will It hear pleas from anyone? The guilt of a surd request bruising glass from the last theoretic geometry as deep as a bite can be in debris is the key for the answer no one guessed Freewill is a thin concept when expressed through the jest of voiceless Entities equations of sentient bliss how could we disagree with the law spelled from His breath? Clinchers of shame find themselves wrong there's no one to blame as it goes on may any side be right on its own precepts mean nothing alone Nobody doubts what algebra claims scholars and devouts are all the same when throwing gaffs to slay Timor Tom isn't enough to hear his song?

Who is this disturbing man, his eyes on me frozen in effigy what had to be done makes me someone I can't deny that's why reflections have to lie Prancing on the drenched earth of tyrian shade blind of tolls braved this day as brothers give in to celebrate forgetting siblings lay as ransom on the ring Will anything be the way I recognize in this land of goodbyes victories like this I could not bear to win again but then would I be free to yield? To do what I needed to do so I'd win I knew what it meant and went through with it all so there is but one thing I will never be able to admit or tell anyone now It wasn't worth it
