Time to Try Your Best
Excuse me, I, would like to buy a metaphor
But I've seen the price and it just costs more than I can afford
A simple rhyme, a simple sonnet, and a chord
It's twice as hard but there's no reward if I can't be heard
Take the stride, inflame the crowd though their number small
I like the sound, but I can't recall if I've seen it all
Well, I don't know why (do) you think I care
The light in my life had faded away
It used to be fun but it's bringing me down and in time
You gonna change up your mind and then
Nobody knows where it'll take us again
Half of my life I was clearly dead
You gave it a try but found nothing instead
You could have just run, or maybe just fighting it back so I won't have to wake and see
That all of this time I did it to me
A cynic mind, a different lie, though it sounds the same
I'm fairly calm, though I cannot claim, that I am to blame
The stakes were high, I bet my money where I should
I rolled the dice, and the odds were good, I froze where I stood
I guess it's the time when you try your best
It's never been done so I bet it won't last
It's a walk in the park when you’re keeping it down
But in time you gonna change up your mind and then
God only knows who you'll find here next
For once in my life, I've been given a chance
I waited for years so it makes no sense
I wasted it slowly and calmly and boldly and finally, found myself lonely so
That is the time when you try your best
I'd better hide, grab my favorite bottle and
Take my time and upon demand
I'll serve you instead
And Nothing Else
Sunday morning, it’s the time you go in
To the hall of fashion
Taste the main attraction
You gotta love ‘em all
Intreat to see what’s in the rabbit’s hole
When life becomes a mess
It’s easy and it’s fun and nothing else
Monday morning, feel the tension’s growing
Sense of inspiration
Desperate celebration
You gotta love ‘em all
Just keep it all intact and in control
Nobody minds the facts
It’s simple and it’s nice and nothing else
You gotta love ‘em all
When light and sound attract your sleepless soul
It’s usually worth so less
It’s silly and it’s rare and nothing else
White Line
Well, I think you lie
The light had changed, and things just look different
The days got short; the sun seems persistent
But it's always the pain that makes me happy again
And everything you like
Just seems to fade away when it suits you
And everything depends on the mood you're in
So, find friends today, perhaps tomorrow they'll stay
Alright, tonight
Everybody knows I'll tell you all the jokes
I'll tell you all about it so everyone can shout
Today, it's ok
When the night had turned into the day
Away
I walk the white line, pale I stare
I walk upon the lonely trail
Of empty sorrow and betrayal
I guess I'm scared
I'm just afraid
Some things left unsaid
And I'll make you cry
It's funny when the lack of attention
Is mine, while you're failing to mention
All the years you’ve misspent, on books, yeah, I don't forget
For everything you got
It's better to leave here without love
I usually complain though I made of
All the pieces that make a truly epic mistake
Alright, tonight
I will take you on the road of punish and reward
I'll tear your world apart, so everyone can shout
Today, it's ok
From the darker side into the grey
Away
I walk the white line, pale I stare
I walk upon the lonely trail
In journey for the Holy Grail
I guess I'm mad
I'm just afraid
I'm fine where I stand
Today, it's ok
When the righteous path lies in your way
Away
I walk the white line, pale I stare
I walk upon the lonely trail
And trying every common spell
I guess I'm glad
I’m just afraid
I'll get home instead
Old Melody
Will you know when you're dreaming?
Will you wake up to know when you're breathing?
I'm trying to hold, man I'm begging you lord
I could never forget it had meaning
Does it hurt to be living?
Will the pain just grow more when you'll give in?
Share the world when you care, or you'll end up comparing
Every thought that you may not have given
Once in a while, I'm asking you why
Standing face to the wall and I'm starting to cry
But you know, I need to let go, I'm begging you so
Look for the key, old melody
I can barely remember that last harmony
And the fears just won't let me ease, I'm begging you please
Are you mad or plain clever?
Will you crack if I'll make you remember?
I can barely regret what you made me forget
So, don't think that we're in this together
Did you bag for forgiveness?
Did you fight to excuse your existence?
In the eyes of my lord, you can never get bored
Just by playing along some resistance
Walked out the door, I told you before
Lying next to the line, but I'll bet you want more
But you know, I need to let go, I'm begging you so
Bring it to me, sweet memory
Still I'm dying to sleep though it's hard as can be
And the fears just won't let me ease, I'm begging you please
Can you dance without rhythm?
Will you smile if I'll give you no reason?
In a world you create you can never regret
Every ghost that you may not have beaten
Will you push for the limit?
Would you lie if I'll make you admit it?
Then my angels will lie on their back for a while
And forget about us for a minute
I, I’m watching the sky
Standing next to the shore but the tears they won't dry
But you know, I need to let go, I'm begging you so
Washed out the sea, my remedy
But the world isn't flat as I'd like it to be
And the fears just won't let me ease, I'm begging you please
Everyone
Yeah, I could tell you stories, about lightnings in the sky
And you would paint a perfect image on the back-page of your mind
And I can make you happy, I can make you satisfied
But I prefer to leave you hanging, cause the best had just arrived
And everyone would turn to see, what's that that makes them carry on
Well, you should have seen their faces when I showed them where they're wrong
God knows I never failed to know; you just have to let it go
Yeah, I could share your secrets, sitting lonely on your throne
I don't blame you for your wishes, so don't go claim them as your own
Before you make me want to shout, before you make me throw it out
I would leave your soaking body for your friends to be admired
And everyone would come to be, what they had hoped just for a while
Well, they believe I could make miracles, and bring everyone a smile
Just enjoy and take it slow; you just have to let it go
Don't want to hear your records; man, they were broken from the start
Well, you should have paid for pleasures that the rest would dream about
I didn't mean for you to bother, but man it stroked me that we're done
I accept your terms for duel, though you held me with your gun
And everyone would stare at me, as if expect me to shade light
Man, they were always been too geniuses to seek what's in their sight
Couldn't wait to miss that show; you just have to let it go
Couldn't wait to miss that show; you just have to let it go
All I Want
Simple things, become important once they're gone
I always knew, I shouldn’t trust that setting sun
I didn't want to leave, but night had turn to dawn
Could see things, that no one else would care to hide
In every play, you were so stubborn with your pride
Persistent faith in ancient godlike yellow child
You won't give no reason
(I don't mean to hurry)
You don’t need no reason
(It's the weight that I carry now)
All I want is you
All I want is you
Through your eyes, the sun had shone to lit the skies
It's rare to find, someone that does just what he likes
You're a painter, a creator in disguise
Sleepless nights, confusion, sorrow, and despair
I could sense, you had the passion few would share
Your dad had taught you well, you’ll never gain more flair
You won't give no reason
(I don't mean to hurry)
You don’t need no reason
(I ain't got no worries, no)
All I want is you
All I want is you
To the Top
Sometimes you smile
You go back to the memories you held back for a while
I got reasons to hate; I got reasons to wait for you
Nothing to hide
When you go by your heart, you can speak to the blind
Share your thoughts with the crowd, while you shout it out loud
If someone had told me when I was young
That I will get stuck with you
Then maybe I would have just taken my time
I can’t explain why
It’s just as simple as that, it’s like the tears in my eyes
I am daring you so, man, are you ready to go?
And I guess you had it coming
At the best the bets were numbing
And your forehead’s gonna take us to the top
At the first we felt like trying
At the end men started crying
Well, your forehead’s gonna take us to the top
I chose to go on
When I am pushing my luck it just seems I belong
Breathe the air to my lungs, while I’m whispering for a-n-y-thing
It is near to revive
When I woke up this morning, I just felt so alive
Couldn’t believe to my eyes, spread my hands to the skies
And sometimes it feels that I can’t go on
Though it seems so overrated
Turn every stone along the way
But now when it’s done
All the emotions were so aggregated
I am daring you so, man, are you ready to go?
And I guess you had it coming
At the best the bets were numbing
Well, your forehead’s gonna take us to the top
At the first we felt like trying
At the end men started crying
And your forehead’s gonna take us to the top
If someone had told me when I was young
That I will get stuck with you
Then maybe I would have just taken my time
I can’t explain why
It’s just as simple as that, it’s like the tears in my eyes
I am daring you so, man, are you ready to go?
And I guess you had it coming
At the best the bets were numbing
Well, your forehead’s gonna take us to the top
At the first we felt like trying
At the end men started crying
And your forehead’s gonna take us to the top
Tales of Strategy
You’re like a burning flame; stop calling me insane, you know I never really wanted it for sure
Cause I'm a simple man, I got a simple plan, though it doesn't seem so plain anymore
And the chance to dance with the prom queen stands, in between my shadows and me
When the lights go out, I will break and shout, I'll be leaving with her majesty
And the moment arrived, it's about to begin
Now I'm only a number that blinks on the big screen
Remember to smile for the getaway scene
You know that people always say to me
Not even with a car I drove that far, obviously
Body takes control, you know I didn't lose my mind, I'm just strengthen my soul
But then fail to see, what everybody knows, tales of strategy
I've given all I got, that's my vanity
You know I've given all I got
The strive for fine display, it’s just another day, says the storyteller in your head
It makes a perfect sense, he understands, I can almost feel the sticker in hand
You gained your Midas touch that it burns so much; I was young, it seems so long ago
When I’ll grow up, get old, I'll have something to show
Being drained wasn't part of my dreams
But I feel so alive, it is hard as it seems
I have proven enough now I'll go for extremes
Another early wake, another bite you take, you know I swear to god this time I am done
Just call the next event, and tell them they can wait, because they wouldn't gonna see me around
I'm gonna gain my goal, it's gonna take its toll, it’s like that everybody knows that wall
And it seems to me that eventually, I would not have done it different at all
And I claim that I’m wise, and I'll know what to do
But experiences get complex when they're new
It's a beautiful torture that carries me through
You know that people always say to me
Not even with a car I drove that far, obviously
Body takes control, you know I didn't lose my mind, I'm just strengthen my soul
But then fail to see, what everybody knows, tales of strategy
I've given all I got, that's my ecstasy
You know I've given all I got
That's my tragedy
A Friend in a Pub
I got an idea you said to me
Just look around you man, what d’you see?
You see, people spend money
I don't feel that it's funny
That none of it goes to me
We can do well, well, we just don't dare
I thought, well, this is a shame, but I just don't care
He said, don't you be blind
Man, if we'll put in our minds
Well, someday we can be there
So why d'you always live your life while thinking about tomorrow?
When everybody else is having fun
From time to time I find it hard to try and follow
From mist of smoke the barman come
He brings me light and he cheers me up
He gives me
Free shot of something; double of nothing
Come along and just hold, and let us drink for the gold
You are just full of passion but determined by action
It's the basis of war, you never heard it before
Another round of beer, I don't want to leave from here
This time it's my treat, just get along with the beat
With a bottle of whisky, it’s a paradise city, man
I like what you say, though I just heard it today
I got a friend in a pub, and he keeps my dreams alive
Ease on the beer and bear with me
Well, you are my guide so what’s the key?
I’d give you trust and respect
That not as many can get
He said, now, what do you make of that?
I'll give you my love and sympathy
Though, there's a price to be paid and its honesty
You'd better try it again
And come up with better plan
But come on, what do I understand?
So why keep going when you're wasting so much strength for nothing?
When every chance I get I wreck your dreams
Well, my advice to you is never trust in someone
Who'll tell you what the others would
They lack the shine and attitude
To bring you
Free shot of something; double of nothing
Come along and just hold, and let us drink for the gold
You are just full of passion but determined by action
It's the basis of war, you never heard it before
Another round of beer, I don't want to leave from here
This time it's my treat, just get along with the beat
With a bottle of whisky, it’s a paradise city, man
I like what you say, though I just heard it today
I got a friend in a pub, and he keeps my dreams alive
I got a friend in a pub, and he keeps my dreams alive-alive
I got a friend in a pub, and he keeps my dreams alive
I got a friend in a pub, and he keeps my dreams alive
I got a friend in a pub
And he keeps my dreams
See the Sun
If you wake me, don’t you break me, or I’ll start to cry
Feeling good, you know I should, and then I’ll guess before I’ll die
You don’t care cause you’ve just known me for a day or two
But then again girl, same goes that way about you
I don’t mind, just like you said the other day
You always taking what you got but then you waste it anyway
I don’t know, I mean, it must be hard to stay
The way you’ve been living all your life, but it’s alright
Alright, yeah, it’s alright
And everyone would see the sun before it's gone forever
With all the stars that in the sky that turn to stardust matter
You and me across the Milky Way we’ll try together
You don’t know but maybe I would see the sun
Would see the sun
Would see the sun
Take your time and do some thinking though it must be late
Leave your pride and take your chances on a guy that you've just met
We’ll skip this town cause it’s already breaking us down
And hand in hand we’ll all go watching the sun
I don’t mind, just like you said the other day
You always taking what you got but then you waste it anyway
I don’t know, I mean, it must be hard to stay
The way you’ve been living all your life, but it’s alright
Alright, yeah, it’s alright
And everyone would see the sun before it's gone forever
With all the stars that in the sky that turn to stardust matter
You and me across the Milky Way we’ll try together
You don’t know but maybe I would see the sun
Would see the sun
Would see the sun
Would see the sun
And everyone would see the sun before it's gone forever
With all the stars that in the sky that turn to stardust matter
You and me across the Milky Way we’ll try together
You don’t know but maybe I would see the sun (Yeah…)
See the sun (Heeeey)
See the sun (Heeeey)
See the sun
The Unknown
There is something in this place that I can't breathe
Something’s slowing down the air
Used to have some life but now I don't believe
That I'll make it through the day
Monday evening you can easily complain
And the paper didn't know
But I don't know why I'm always coming back, but I guess
There's not too much to last
And then I wake up, man, it’s coming back again
It's hard to follow; well, it messes-up my brain
You blame the weather, I wouldn't understand
And I don’t mind, and I don’t care
And I don’t mind, and I don’t care
And I don’t mind, and I don’t care
And I don’t mind
With every minute passes by you whisper prayers
Slip aside to get some rest
But I don't know, no I don't know what you meant, but I’ll say
Well, it’ll better pay someday
And then I wake up, man, it’s coming back again
It's hard to follow; well, it messes-up my brain
You blame the weather, I wouldn't understand
And I don’t mind, no I don’t care
And I don’t mind, no I don’t care
And I don’t mind, and I don’t care
And I don’t mind
Don't you like it? Aren’t you keen to understand?
Or you just don't want to know?
But If I was you, well, I would go insane
I heard they think you're soaring; well, I think you’re just boring
