It's hard enough what you can't stand? Slow down!! you'll fade away... too retarded to break my mind too brave to make mistakes, nobody will ever understand the hell that's on my mind... come and make me feel alright! I guess you came along and I was free on the zone you had to do your biz, you sell your rolling stones now, I come around feelin', you gonna hear a screamin' have you ever tried to make me feel kinda right? hey, can you blow this up and stay? It's not your time what fades away. Is it hard enough what you can't stand? Slow down!! you'll fade away... so retarded to break my mind too brave to make mistakes, nobody will ever understand the hell that's on my mind... come, i'll take you for a ride!

Standing 04:15
Could've found the way of love on the streets of New Orleans Or catch the devil in disguise teasing out there in high heels I chose the path of mine, I´m a simple man but everytime you try to get me, you know that nothing comes for free Don't try to make me feel as low as I can feel Can't find the way of justifying mistakes you know I made and even if I try my best, in the end you know it hurts this is my way of life, it's the fire and the rain this the way I feel dependence every single time I sing Don't try to make me feel as low as I can feel don't you ever try this baby, oh, no, don't you Standing on the edge of my soul Staring at the end of the road Keep on searching for what I want and hear me when I tell you baby, Love could be enough to get your goals I found the way to rock but still need something more you know man's always tryin' to get what's always looking for Don't try to make me feel as low as I can feel don't you ever try this baby, oh, no, doncha Standing on the edge of my soul Staring at the end of the road Keep on searching for what I want and hear me when I tell you baby, Love could be enough to get your goals And now it's time for you to understand what's crazy and nothing else would make you feel a stranger go, keep on searching, everything you want, but you gotta know that you won't find anything without a love Standing on the edge of my soul Staring at the end of the road Keep on searching for what I want and hear me when I tell you baby, don't know nothing 'bout love Standing on the edge of my soul Staring at the end of the road Keep on searching for what I want and hear me when I tell you baby, Love could be enough to get your goals

Sometimes 04:24
Sometimes it's hard and sometimes it plays its way Sometimes it's kind of strange to replay the game Sometimes it's fair to make a mistake - you want to be kind but sometimes you need to find, find out.. That everything's changed since you been away and all of the people, every landscape I've seen.. It seems it was written, always believing, never stop thinking you should be alright.. I let you fly... There was a time when I was unsure and estranged and then I just met you and all of my fears they changed, blown away When you turned away girl, I never thought how - life would have treated you…I'm glad that you've found your sun…let it shine…. My whole life has changed since you been away and all of the people, every landscape I've seen.. It seems it was written, always believing, never stop thinking you should be alright.. I let you fly... All of the fears I felt inside, girl…I've been waiting for some kind of sign…. Sometimes it's hard and sometimes it fades away.

We've been out there waiting the wait's been complicated younger dudes we were then... “hope some day we'll make it” Drinking everyday's frustrations, yeah the happy meal's on time Waiting for the train to come here, nowadays it won't arrive is time to find my soul, it's coming around and replacing all, my soul it's coming around and changing all my “lows” the southern lightning is shining on my road we're taking the ride don't you ever let it go we've been suffocated also celebrated it's not about the places it's all about the wishing Guess we're livin' our past's future that we keep on looking for, gotta straighten up my soul, it's coming around and replacing all, my soul it's coming around and changing all my “lows” the southern lightning is shining on my road we're taking the ride don't you ever let it - the tricks are on the way, there's still so much to say, so keep on rocking, man you know I'm waiting for it! soul, it's coming around and replacing all, my soul it's coming around and changing all my “lows” the southern lightning is shining on my road that southern lightning keeps rockin on my soul

BACKWARD STATES OF SOCIETY All hell's going to break loose, man It smells like fire and shade Somebody put a spell on me Somehow I still don't understand I tried to build a fortress To keep the past outside You broke those empty walls And filled my heart with kerosene and fire And now you say you need me there to take cover Don't try to kill me now 'cause i'm dead Don't try to make me feel like I'm deaf You can't hold on to a prayer when it's over You can't retake what you break I'm barely holding on but This world gets in the way Tryin' so hard to breathe but Somehow I'd blow it all away Don't want to be that dyin man I won't spit on my own grave You laugh / I bleed You made me feel like I'm the man you could save… Don't try to tell me you need me to take cover It's all about all the things you said You needed somebody to play your games you keep on fallin' but i'm still crawling... one more time

Hey baby, don't be afraid, it's only fifteen minutes to break free The shadows on the streets they will not tell us how it's gonna be We're gonna make it right , we'll take our love and peace out of this town I know they'll miss us but sometimes you got to dare to rise, somehow hallelujah, love has found me, there's no reason higher than me and you It smells like blood and smoke, but all we have to do is runaway Just hold my hand, there is no god tonight to decide what it takes Oh, suddenly I feel my stomach a bit colder than the night I watch you while you´re crawling tryin´to kiss me, last goodbye... hallelujah, love has found me, there´s no reason higher than me and you Hey baby i'm feeling a little bit afraid right now but if you could hold my hand I think it's all going to pass... hallelujah, love has found me, there´s no reason higher than me and you this time will pass, those bullets too, I'll save a prayer to make it sooner a prayer for you in the name of love, because we are forever we're not all to blame we're not all to blame unless you keep holding on to your hate... even if you want to make me feel that pain you keep on searching my name...

(WELCOME TO OUR) CARNIVAL OF SOULS

 Face to face I face the truth and nothing seems to be that true I guess your “Right” is what we'll do The world around me keeps on changing and man, it seems they're hard to handle the reason why I get frustrated Goodbye sanity, "jury duty" is out of reach, and it goes, yeah it goes on... you're to blame, you made it up, I guess nobody ever told you welcome to the carnival of souls 21st century new-old-scene but we keep blaming it on the breeze the same old lies 'tween you and me “...well, I'll bury it all, put on a leash and I'll try to win the lottery...” gather round, come and taste my fist... 
In between the people sing out loud! Put your fancy dress on, it's carnival...

 Goodbye sanity, "jury duty" is out of reach, and it goes, yeah it goes on... you're to blame, you made it up, I guess nobody ever told you welcome to the carnival of souls Hello insanity, nice to meet you, it's all for free. Yeah, it goes like this...

The love I'll keep alive "Hold me down, please dont ever let me go" you told me so. I gave you all, every little inch of my heart, and now it's cracked... So fly, go away and try what I never gave you. You need me. I cant give you what you want. But I still love you... You want me, but anyway you've got your dreams, and they're not here. So fly, go away and try what you will... I'll cry. We dont have much time. (Look me in the eye) Kill what's left inside. But i won't leave you, no.
