I can see the brightest light shining above your head.
Honestly, you're not my ideal partner. But this is not about character.
Consider the possibilities. Life is so short to be wasted!
I guess we would be great together, we can get all we expected!
And I'm so anxious to show everyone I've got you by my side.
You've never struggled for anything but yourself, but I don't care.
I was here all the time just waiting for you, just waiting...
"We're on it to sell perfection and desire... and every step must be right.
Those fools say a lot of bullshit about true friendship. But they're wrong!
Forget about them, these guys are lost!
We built this dream, so we have to keep it alive.
Every step must be fucking right!"
We're on it to take back all the wasted time.
I hope they will enjoy their loneliness.
While I taste the happiness that your pretty image can bring to my life.
I guess we would be great together, we can get all we expected!
And I'm so anxious to show everyone I've got you by my side.
You've never struggled for anything but yourself, but I don't care.
I was here all the time just waiting for you, just waiting...

Sell Your Body

This is the greatest reward for us.
The end of the long dull aching quest has come.
I admit that we're not being truly sincere. But I don't need to prove anything left to hear.
Sometimes glory comes as an unmerited gift and we would have to reach it anyway!
Tearing the past from our hearts, our convictions from our minds and never being sad.
My only certainty is about the gain I know I'd never have living my individuality.
You may not be much proud, it's part, I comprehend.
But no one would trust my words even if I made you aware: I'm not like them!
And in the whole life we crossed without any hope.
There weren't many left to be looked up to, nothing else was true.
I love to be from this town where we grew together.
But I'm feeling, in this city all roads lead me to futility.
Tearing the past from our hearts, our convictions from our minds and never being sad.
My only certainty is about the gain I know I'd never have living my individuality.
You may not be much proud, it's part, I comprehend.
No one would trust my words even if I made you aware: I'm not like them!

Now and then I wonder which would be my fate if I stayed here.
With chains wrapped around my chest I would sink faster.
You can't get it! No, I'm not searching for meaning anymore.
You can't get it! No, I'm not going to question my low score.
‘Cause we had many chances to do it right and we did not.
We had many chances to do it right!
I was wrong just once when blinded by that out of reach charm.
Definitely sure when I missed a single shot and went back.
You can't steal my heart, baby.
Even though a body always led you to anywhere you intended to be.
It won't work on me. It won't work on me!
The moves, the phrases, the taste...
The shine in eyes is not so unknown.
And you've never been able to act the way they showed to say.
I don't mean to face what was taken for granted.
I'm just not gonna be the one defenseless around you.
(Don't get fooled!) True admiration and idolatry you need to feel will never be real.

I'm sick of this life of unnecessary doubts.
I feel that everything could be better. But not the way you thought.
Hey, drunk! Just a little bit else of sobriety would be enough to end our half-humanity.
I'm dreaming of a perfect unity of tougher guys, pointing fingers, screaming loud: "Get the poison out of your fucking veins!"
The mess inside my head is bigger than yours.
But I can pretend the opposite, I can be fake.
If I seek you and criticize every step you take.
The emptiness inside me rises and the only thing I really care about is
What's in your hands, what's in your mouth, that shit you drink I can live without!
You can't be proud of the life you're living.
All your arrogance could be instantly forgiven, as mine has gone.
Follow the way to erase the shame and all the evil done.
The quick salvation is right in front of our eyes.
The mess inside my head is bigger than yours.
But I can pretend the opposite, I can be fake.
If I seek you and criticize every step you take.
The emptiness inside me rises and the only thing I really care about is
What's in your hands, What's in your mouth, that shit you drink I can live without!

Staring at the streetlights, wondering of things I'll never reach in my life.
I'm so naive... that's what the whole world wants me to believe.
But what will I choose as my reality?
Maybe to watch the dark underneath a dirty hood and breathing what's gonna remorseless cut myself inside. I don't think so!
People get like magic everything they never deserved.
And it seems that I should consider it unfair. That's the way we learned.
Some think straight. Some shoot their own heads.
Some just dream contradicting the shadows.
It has stolen the colours, it has stolen the brightness.
And we're still dancing, rising above all fears.
The world will keep hunting us not even causing scratches in our back.
We'll always carry on somehow with wide-opened chests!
We're separating by the barriers we have imposed since ever.
And every single choice we made with no regret has flawed.
Things are so far away from where they're supposed to be.
But why should I give up?
When a hundred percent of my ambitions are not really dead.
My hopes and wishes have not been already buried.
People get like magic everything they never deserved.
And it seems that I should consider it unfair. That's the way we learned.
Some think straight. Some shoot their own heads.
Some just dream contradicting the shadows.
It has stolen the colours, it has stolen the brightness.
And we're still dancing, rising above all fears.
The world will keep hunting us not even causing scratches in our back.
We'll always carry on somehow with wide-opened chests!
