Fishing on the Desert 05:53
lyrics
FISHING ON THE DESERT High noon turning Dust clouds swirling You’re riding on the wasteland Boots are burning Dream of catching Something matching Ocean of dry sand Needs starving There comes a lady Brown eyes hazy Pretty as a painting Nearly fainting Give her water Feel like a savior Then she's gone So is your rum Night soon falling Wind still howling You’re looking for shelter Almost crawling Hope is flickering Fire flaring Do you dare to enter Tent tempting There sits a lady Sweet but shady Offer to be guarding While she’s sleeping Up by the Sun Have a hard flashback Camp is gone So is your cash This could have been just bad luck You will not give up Days are waning Dunes a-changing You’re lost and alone Tired of chasing “Am I rushing? Fool, too trusting?” Oasis unknown Creates lusting There lies a lady Cute but crazy Curiously chanting Gets you panting Come on closer Reach to touch her Then she’s gone So is your mind This cannot be just bad luck Now, would you give up? Whenever we are lost We’re gone fishing on the desert Luring what we need the most Has left us hungry and hurt Dry season won’t turn to rain Until we submit to yearn All trials have been for vain We must return ‘til we learn Otherwise we keep going down In the darkest hour Caressed by cold and hunger Can’t believe in tales any longer Only trust yourself Whenever we are lost We’re gone fishing on the desert Luring what we need the most Has left us angry and hurt Dry season won’t turn to rain Until we’re willing to flee All trials have been for vain We must return to the sea

For You to Love 08:05
lyrics
FOR YOU TO LOVE Today I am chaos Tomorrow I will be calm Last week I was in flames The next one I’ll be gone Stuck and flowing I obey the Moon above Try to control me The ocean will be your doom Let all my tears in The desert will burst into bloom Tough but healing I am here for you to love Soft rain fall Give in to all Of your desires Reach for light Wade into night Meet your wild fire Knee deep in mire Welcome to the realm of witchery There are some who call it treachery Poison kiss will seal their destiny You’ve despised me for thousands of years Now take my revenge I came here for questioning Tomorrow never asked You deserve to feel my wrath I will spare no man Your pain is real Mistrust justified You don’t know what I’ve been through All because of you Forgive me love Forget me love Eternal transgressions I will not forgive I will not forgive I will not… give in Under the wayward waters Beyond the fierce flames There lies my fragile flower Childish and weak, tender Helpless and held by fear I’m here for you to care

Black Rat Race 07:18
lyrics
BLACK RAT RACE I know you hate Mondays When you feel like the walking dead Then you wait for Fridays To get out of your head Your life is a subway train Running the same old rail Sometimes the world hurts your brain But you wanna play it safe Blame it on the system, Your mom and lousy weather Don’t dare to speak out what you want But long for something better Point your finger at me There are three pointing back at you Is that all you could do? Come on, get up, this is your life It ends any minute If you had five years left, would you go on like this? One day you wake up With a smile on your face Now you’re a homeless drifter Out of the black rat race Gamble with the start-ups Make a lot of love, give less fucks Jump from the sky and almost die You never felt this much alive Show the door to them Who are trying to tie you down Wondering if there’s more to life You go around asking: If you had five years left, would you go on like this? I’ve tried and tried So hard I’ve cried I couldn’t fit in here anymore I’ve lost my friends I’ve lost my sense Of purpose in this hunt for thrills Nobody told me the truth I kept seeking for youth But all that is left are my cravings and bills I’ve questioned it all Accepted everything Loved unconditionally Until I lost me completely This is how my ego dies Who am I trying to fool with my lies

The Truth 07:15
lyrics
THE TRUTH Don’t believe before you see and Stay away from the nonsense Do rely on laws of nature Findings verified We can study cause and effect Dissect the quantified Our duty is to defend The truth revealed by science Untamed their hearts and their souls In silence speaks their wisdom Tree and creek, raven and deer Keep secrets of their freedom Feel the breeze and Spirit of the Land They don’t need to know To understand Fly through the astral planes Meet the forgotten race Merge into crystal space I’m not... my thoughts I’m not... my feelings I’m not... this body I’m not... this suffering Confusion This world is only illusion Yet it feels so real I can’t understand it You can’t explain it What is the truth after all? What if my thoughts are ok and they are true What if my emotions are here for real too What if I am a decent human after all What if I don’t need to be anything more
