Flawless 02:53
Sometimes I walk out at night, I look at my bare hands and what they've done in the past. I just can't get a hold of myself and I blame life, because it's going too fast. It seems I can't keep up with every fault that I make and all the people that I've lost because of this in the past. These mistakes keep clinging onto me but I keep hoping : "This one might be the last." But some things just never changeso I'll remain the same.

There is a void in this house and objects that tell your stories. The warmth that you could give, is replaced by cold shivering. I remember you told me how proud you were. That I became a man. If only I had the chance to tell you how much you meant to me. (Now there is nothing left of you, except some leftover memories.) Heavy were the days and long lasted the nights. How difficult is it to fight without any might? Despite, losing the battle of life. You will always live in my mind. And I still have a thousand questions left unanswered. But it doesn’t really matter. All the memories are still in my head And I’ll keep them alive until, until the very end.

Earthling 02:44
Day by day, the clock ticks while the body fades away. A state of mind that can only see gray. Two different worlds if a man is straight or gay. Brainwashed, follow the herd. All your words will not be heard. Hour by hour, leaves fall from the flower. still it keeps growing higher and higher because they keep manipulating it. Second by second an animal’s life comes to an end. Wishing it had a life that was not pretend. Not to be caged till the end. Every second you have less time to live. All the moments you could have given, you've wasted because you did not give a shit.Well i'll keep screaming revolt until the end.

Abyss 02:59
I will never say forever because life is a series of present moments. And trying not to make any mistakes is perhaps the biggest mistake. So I’ll try to enjoy the present. Because the present is the only thing we have. It isn’t always the case that you can realize how valuable something is on the moment you lose it. I've been through so much pain but it won't be for nothing. I've had so much fear but it won't hold me back. I've seen so many fucked up things but I was way too young to understand. It’s time to take a different look on life. This life, which makes us so empty inside. But it's the same when birds stay home while they can fly. I want to stay. I want to leave. I want to be everything I can’t be.
