Gone Dogs 04:00
GONE DOGS We are following the rails Trying to find some answers Rusty crooks, iron ways That seem to go nowhere The only thing we know; That’s gonna be far from home Goodbye my love, I'm leaving for a while We are sailing on the wave That’s trying to pierce a piece of sky Avoiding the rocky island Full of black sheeps Here comes the wild dogs Wanna hear our dirty bark? Open the black curtains and look at the sparks If you want to get in and I know you want it Don’t let the rock crush your bones Here comes the Gone Dogs ‘Be sure we will be back Don't roll the red carpet and bring the cognac We are still living, we are still coming Always sailing on the waves Always far from our home, we keep our memories

THE CHOSEN ONE Hey! Give me this floating bottle It’s full of love, it’s full of everything I hang here in this rat hole Waiting for you Then you finally come for me My glassy eyes welcome some sweet joy tears The most beautiful thing that I’ve ever seen That’s the perfect moment to beat some fears Would you dance with me, (You’re the one) My dear floating bottle? Would you follow me, (You’re the one) In this worthless battle? I think I found the one I can see the ghost of a better road I see some light melting my rusty cage I yell and fly while my prison explodes I have the strength to turn this page Why I never tasted you before I’m gonna take my time with ya We can sing all night long and take the backdoor Run in the morning light and make our own law Please, don't fall off my hands Don't disappear like the others Be the one who will never end Come to me like a ceaseless river

Empty World 04:33
EMPTY WORLD What do you wanna believe in this life? I grew up surrounded by all these eyes Judging my fucked up mind, sitting on what I tried to find You taught me to feel free in a rotten cage and smile to crows In what do you want me to believe? I work and die for this empty world In what do you want me to believe? I sleep and dream on broken bottles I’m digging through this bloody red ground We are a bunch of ants, serving our old fat queen All on our knees, selling our souls by the pound For her majesty, we’ll lick her path until it’s clean Can you feel my despair? I’m lost in this empty world I can’t do this anymore Help me see through darkness I must retrieve my wings And fly towards my destiny I’ve had enough of this shit It’s time to live on my own Can you feel my despair?
5.
FINDING MY WAY 12 o’clock and I'm lazy I’m hangover once again The only thing that’s stuck in my head What happened last night? The moment I open my eyes I feel ashamed You laying down in my bed Can you tell me your name? Ho no! I lost control again I need to heal my soul I know it’ll take me to the end But I need this flow I bring myself to the next step I need to be out of this world My life is just a pile of mistakes Will I find my way? I need to feel hazy I need to feel this flow It's the only thing I know I think I've found my way It's useless to beat on me I'm lost forever Always finding a reason to drink I know that makes you mad I don’t even know myself I’m lost forever Forever alone Alone in my endless trip

FALLING BEFORE SUMMER Can you see all these men falling down? Can you hear the mother's howl rising up? A bunch of pigs are fighting for the crown Drinking our life from their bloody cups Some fresh leaves fall before summer Nobody can catch them while they hit the ground The grody madness smiles to their brothers If you want your revenge, we’ll release the hounds It’s the reign of madness baby Grab your wine and don't miss the circus Only fools are playing this game of chess If you know how to cheat you will be famous It’s the reign of madness It’s raining fear and smoky desires Smell these perfumes and forget what you see Be one of those who built this empire We can see some doubts in every sun ray Why are we warming your poor cold bones? Do you still have a bit of faith in these wounded days? Is it a shame to care about selfish stones? Everybody owns the gift of love and pain If you raise an army, which one will you take? One day, bullets will pass through the window frame And you will understand, that this madness ain’t fake
8.
Come With Me 03:38
COME WITH ME Don’t you know you’re teasing me? Are you looking at me or the other one behind? I’ve tried talking to you with the words I found I’m so hungry for your kind I love the way you tease me Your eyes are stuck in my head All this heavy breathing; I’m out of breath You are about to make me crazy Wondering if you’ll ever come with me Some bad ideas are running in my head But I know you would not be afraid And now I feel you want some more, I see it in your eyes I’m turned on like never before, I want more You find the way to tease me I can’t stop staring at your lips They’re talking to me. They say: “I want you too!” You know that makes me crazy Just come with me, we will become fools
9.
Expectations 05:02
EXPECTATIONS: You judge my life and the way I lead it You think you’re doing well but you just poison me I can't handle your bad feelings But baby I swear, I'm still trying Whoever you are, you won't change me And if you’re not satisfied You’re not better than the rest I wanna make you understand I could give you all I have But it's never enough for you You’re not better than the rest I'm still trying to make you understand If you don't stop, we will sink to the end Your pretty eyes won’t do you no good We won't go back I wanna live my life by myself And if you want me back, just go to hell Do you realize I’ve given all I have for you? If you want me back, just go to hell I've done all I can for you
10.
Unstoppable 03:50
UNSTOPPABLE Oh, you better grab my hand If you wanna get on this unstoppable train Maybe I'll hit a wall But be sure girl I'm gonna tear it down I'm pretty sure I'll fall but if you stand by me It will be on our crazy crowd The rails are curving by you girl Oh, you better grab my hand If you wanna get on this unstoppable train Better get on board or get the fuck out I've got no answer for you now This road gives me the fuel To never think about all the ditches Hope you're not one of these blind bitches Bet you see me as a fool Oh, you better grab my hand this time Get rid of your shell, I'm gonna taste your pearl The rails are curving by you girl I've got no answer for you now You better get on board Oh, you better grab my hand Better get on board Maybe I will hit a wall But the rails are curving by you girl
11.
THE ROAD AHEAD I got a bad feeling about it Why does it always turns out like this? All along the road, I close my eyes ‘Cause I’m afraid, ‘cause I’m scared of all this shit You must believe my words You must prepare for it I know you’re doing well now But you will reach your despair There’s a cold river flowing inside me I try to reach the coast, But something stronger keeps me afloat I know where it’s gonna end I know how it’s gonna turn out And I’m so scared, and I’m scared of all this shit You must believe my words You must prepare for it You’re going down I know you’re doing well now But you will reach your despair You’re going down
