Through The Tides

Out of reason
Out of sight
Thought that I was
Left behind
Who to wish for
Who to trust
Maybe you are
One of us
As the waves stay behind me
I constantly run
The horizon reminds me
Of all that's at hand
By the sea by the sky
I will follow the sun
And I'll rise, and I'll rise
Yeah yeah
Owooooh
Cause I'm deep underwater
Am I ever gonna breathe
Did we touch bottom
Guess it's fine to let me be
And now time is coming to get you
But I can't set you fre
No no no not just yet
As the waves stay behind me
I constantly run
The horizon reminds me
Of all that's at hand
By the sea by the sky
I will follow the sun
And I'll rise, and I'll rise
People will know my name
(I think I'll go insane)
I'll be consumed by flames
(I will be drowned in fame)
Until I realize
All this is just a game
I think I'll go insane
(People will know my name)
I will get drowned in fame
(I'll be consumed by flames)
Until I realize
All this is just a game
I will be through the tides
I will swim through the tides
You won't find me alive
But I have to survive
Yeah

Miami

You know the world seems fake when you are getting high
Thought I was making something of it
I used to fuckig watch while life was passing by
Like I had settled down and I didn't mind
The clouds are getting thicker now
I wanna see more colours out there
Now time has come to wonder if
Is there a reason why I'm still around
Oh I'm done with feeling low
Come and find me when you're going insane
Forget about me
I will be far away
Where you can break free
And skies are never gray
Forget about me
The sun is all mine
And by the moonlight
I walk right here
Along the shoreline
Now let the flood rise high
I should be on my way tonight
Lighting up the summer sky
It seems I rush into the tides again
Oh I'm done with feeling low
Come and find me when you're going insane
Forget about me
I will be far away
Where you can break free
And skies are never gray
Forget about me
The sun is all mine
And by the moonlight
I walk right here
Along the shoreline
I'm alive

Out Of Luck
02:31

Night and day, you keep on running those shoes (like there’s no finish line)
Now I’m your enemy, someone should tell you the news (just give it up it’s over)
When everything seems alright and fine, your inspiration is dead
But once you pay attention to me, you’ll hear a sound in your head
And it goes like this, heey
Talk to me, kick your resentments away (just be part of the vibe)
I’ll be there easily, while you pretend
you’re okay (I bet you noticed something)
When people start to tend to your thoughts, you’ll understand what I said
And time and time again and again,
you’ll have this sound in your head
And it goes like this, hey
Careful, don’t get stuck
Now you’re out of luck

Cheater

Woke up in a place where
people don’t care and they break
when their lives get tough
Who knows when the show ends
when it all blows what you did
will it ever be enough
What you left out is a race
No one should ever misplace
I’ll just keep singing till my voice has started melting your face
Thing is if you just try
to make it right would you know
the difference it makes
If not then you’re fighting
on against me
we’ll see if you got what it takes
I’ll fall one time get up nine
Leave all my troubles behind
And you’ll be living in a prison that yourself has designed
This story ends same as before
Come take the weight and you can carry on
Don’t be afraid of them, don’t be controlled
Don’t wait till dawn
I know I should get home but I don’t know if I get too soon or too late
Your life is a straight line and you don’t mind if you be a stain in this state
And so you run through the door
You can’t see straight anymore
The facts are speaking to you but all you just do is ignore
This story ends same as before
Come take the weight and you can carry on
Don’t be afraid of them, don’t be controlled
No no no no
Heard talking now but I can’t take more
Borrowed time is over and my eyes are sore
Followed a road where no one goes
Way down below
Woke up in a place where
people don’t care and they break
when their lives get tough
Who knows when the show ends
when it all blows what you did
will it ever be enough
And so you run through the door
You can’t see straight anymore
The facts are speaking to you but all you just do is ignore
This story ends same as before
Come take the weight and you can carry on
Don’t be afraid of them, don’t be controlled
Don’t wait till dawn
Heard talking now but I can’t take more
Borrowed time is over and my eyes are sore
Followed a road where no one goes
And I got life figured out

There is a place out there
Your consciousness lives in
The city's always crawling
And we are blessed with sin
So this is how we roll up
Down to this fucking show
Oh we are stuck with monkeys
The place is gonna blow
So lose your mind and let go
Welcome to the magic city
I think it's high time you know
Welcome to the magic city
Feels like the city's waking
The madness in your skin
Afraid of your own choices
You're caught up in between
So this is how we roll up
The fire's gonna grow
But c'est la vie as always
We're gonna make it though
So lose your mind and let go
Welcome to the magic city
I think it's high time you know
Welcome to the magic city
Into our magic city
I guess you'll like it here
Fill your imagination
- With our magic -
I said our magic city
You're always welcome here
Now get ready and we'll go again
So lose your mind and let go
Welcome to the magic city
I think it's high time you know
Welcome to the magic city
So lose your mind and let go
Ride the light into this city
Get ready now and we'll go
Welcome to the magic city

I, I don't know how
How to do this now
Can you hear me out
I, need a place to try
Try to make things right
Just for one more night
Can you hear me cry
Heal me cause I'm dead inside
I don't really know
Should you stay or should you go
Can you tell me why
Don't you feel like saying goodbye
I will take my shot
And I'll be far away believe it or not
Now, out in the open
Yeah lying in the dust of all the things that you did to me
And I can't find my way back home
Can you hear me cry
Heal me cause I'm dead inside
I don't really know
Should you stay or should you go
Can you tell me why
Don't you feel like saying goodbye
I will take my shot
And I'll be far away believe it or not
Can you hear me cry
Heal me cause I'm dead inside
I don't really know
Should you stay or should you go
Can you tell me why
Don't you feel like saying goodbye
I will take my shot
And I'll be far away believe it or not
I will take my shot
And I'll be far away believe it or not

Groove Street

I guess it’s true what they say everyone has his own way
And I believe we've found ours
Don't get mad it's not you cause dreams don't always come true
I know you'll find your way somehow
On the groove street straight ahead
And never stop or relax it's not an easy road
So let me tell you a story that we haven't lived yet
We were playing out on the streets now
As loud and clear as it got
The groove was out of this world
And the night was far from over
I could not get enough
Now that you get how it goes
You’ve got to dream one of those
You’ve got to be better now
Yes it’s hard, but not late
You don’t have to hesitate
I know you’ll find your way somehow
Take the groove street straight ahead
And never stop or relax it’s not an easy road
So let me tell you the story again
We were playing out on the streets now
As loud and clear as it got
The groove was out of this world
And the night was far from over
I could not get enough
Inside this groove street i am
Come on decide it right here x4
Alright alright it’s time for you to decide x3 cause the time is right
You’re inviteeeed
To the groove street now
You’ve been selected to join our fight
It’s gonna happen tonight, yeah

Summer Days
02:58
|

Been chasing faces that I thought I'd see
No one knows where I am or where I'll be
Maybe I'm travelling too fast because we're inside a dream
High expectations met, so yeah that's me
And I know, I know
We can go wherever we want
I know, I know I’m not wrong
By the way it falls right up to fate
Whatever we could do we can’t be late
It is a feeling that ignites your spark and brings you to life
Bring back the beat and get your ass up here to fight
All the dreams that go on unexplained
Led me to meet you on a summer day
Fixing up anything wrong on my way oh yeeeeeeaaaaaaah
And I know, I know
We can go wherever we want
I know, I know I’m not wrong

Loser
03:26
|
|||
My home is not all that I ever hoped for
I walk the same street almost everyday
The granny mocks the black guy on the upper floor
And I don't see a future in this place
The more I try the more I fail
But sometimes you got to take the leap and not really care of what comes next
Be a loser
In the end you get what you deserve
You get what you deserve
Cause fate will find a way
Being cool is so overrated
So be a loser anyway
So this is the way it should have never been
An empty vessel doing random stuff
I waste my life searching for the perfect case
I guess it's time to say I've had enough
The more I try the more I fail
But someday I will get to it, so listen what I have to say now
Be a loser
In the end u get what u deserve
You get what u deserve
Cause fate will find a way
Being cool is so overrated
So be a loser anyway
Be a loser
In the end u get what u deserve
You get what u deserve
Cause fate will find a way
Being cool is so overrated
So be a loser anyway
Be a loser anyway
Tomorrow brings another day
So be a loser anyway
Yeah be a loser anyway
