Ride at night, to feel the wind on my face My skin is dry; I’m flying out of space Ghostriders in the light of the moon Free street, 20 degrees slope and the breeze We get high as we reach top speed Keep on dancing with your feet No more concentration just kill it, kill it On the mountain top, see the city and let your body crash down Till the end of the ride at night Don’t give a fuck ‘bout the rest of the world, the world Ride at night, to feel the wind on my face My skin is dry; I’m flying out of space A shiver rises to the top of my head Ride at night, to feel the wind on my face Sharp curves of pavement that passes below Riding requires a completely different part of my brain And it just makes me want to stay here all night it spins my head around, Admiring the, Landscape as it flits past me It’s a crazy feeling, Gravity’s taking control The rational part of my head shuts down. And I don’t give a fuck ‘bout the rest of the world, the world.

The sky is wide… Don’t fall. Lets just share, this present that we’ve had To be billion heads, knowing the same fact That we’ll never understand why Something’s sleeping in my thoughts Answers you’ve been looking for Rest your mind this time, You are trying to explain Things that we don’t understand After all who can Some will hurt…and it’s wrong They keep inside the dark, that’s been there all along We wouldn’t last so long by ourselves So please, don’t stay alone Something’s sleeping in my thoughts Answers you’ve been looking for Rest your mind this time You are trying to explain Things that we don’t understand After all who can I’m here to hold your hand How can everyone pretend? And try to face it all alone.

I can almost feel their heat on my cheeks, I can almost feel them breathing in my ears, Remembering me that something’s still alive, Remembering me that some things never die. Memories come to me. Please. Memories come to me. (Aaah) x2 I can almost feel their hands on my chest, I can almost hear their voices in my head, Telling me that something’s still alive, Telling me that some things never die. Memories come to me. Please. Memories come to me. (Aaah) 2x It’s the only thing that you are now, It's the only thing that’s left of you.

I knew things but I forgot them Guess they were written into the sand Now that the breeze blew them away I’m hoping that they’ll come back again To enlighten me, but now I don’t remember, I can’t remember, why I’m here But doubts come again in my head Fire on my house of cards But doubts come again in my head And I can’t remember how, I got lost through books and tales Where I found my own fake truth I stack the pieces into my frame Made of precast beliefs To keep me safe, but now I don’t remember, I can’t remember, why I’m here But doubts come again in my head, Fire on my house of cards But doubts come again in my head And I can’t remember how, To build myself again, to build myself again, To build myself again, to build myself x2 To build myself again!

Look at the stage honey, That is a funny scene A man building up smiles, Shining through miles. The crowd booed loudly, At his futility, What do you want to do when you’ll grow old? What do you think this world needs? The world needs you, The world needs us. Look at the stage honey, That is a funny scene, A man building up planes, To drop bombs on his country lane. The crowd applauded loudly, At his ingenuity, What do you want to do when you’ll grow old? What do you think this world needs? The world needs you, The world needs us. Sometimes I wonder, Who is the clown, And who is the inventor.

Lying Diary 04:14
Even if you know the truth Will you show some sympathy? Even if I am exposed Are you going to accept me? I need Even if my dad’s alive And I was never in the army Even if it’s not my name Will you still call me? I need I need to find myself Even if reality is a blank That I keep in my lying diary Today I’m an astronaut Tomorrow I’m, mister nobody, I need

Irritated knees and bowed heads, Throats made sore by holy words’ smoke, Hands pointing at the Sacred ceiling, So high, So low. Soft whispers from a distant war, Flying ideas from a known paradise, Thick blinders and shrunken minds, So high, so low. Brains stiffened by inaction, Exhausted bodies and dirty hands, Eyes reddened by the screen’s glow, So high, so low. Connected humans and hot copper, A web covering the entire globe, Leaving it more divided than ever, So high, so low. Make sure my attention is away from this theater, this sad theater especially the scene where I realize, I’ve been wrong, I’ve been wrong for so long. No I don’t want to watch it; no I don’t want to watch it.

Determined 06:40
We are completely determined by prior causes, Just like everything else in the world, Just like broken glass on the floor, Just like the nerve impulses in my brain. Would you help me find a bit of fortuity? I searched through time and I haven’t found any, So I shouldn’t feel guilty, to spill blood in your tea. It’s the result of a preceding cause, And the cause of a future result, I just have to follow physical laws, That have already shaped my own cult. Laws that have already built my cosmos, As well as my passions and my depressions. Everything was predictable from the start. The illusion of decision is convincing, But don’t fight life’s impartial causality, You’re just a gear in the watch, Victim of the world’s predictability. (Instrumental) I dig, I dig, I dig and I dig deeper. I’ve finally found what I was looking for, The absolute randomness, The fundamental randomness, I’m stuck with a worst nausea now, I’m free.
