Built On A One Night Stand

Way Out

Cruel

One of my oldest songs, finally finished ! Enjoy ;)

Verse 1

Wanting you here
But you're oh so far
I forgot how to live when you are not around

Those people I meet
All act the same
While I'm just longing for your smile, to keep me sane ...

Chorus

So can you hear me now ?
Cause I need everything you are
But all I've got left tonight
Are the city lights to warm my sickly heart

Verse 2

I'm a lost soul at sea, 
Tired and sinking down
Deathly wishing for land
So you can fix me up

So let me know
If you are
Just as broken as me
While we're apart

Chorus

Bridge

Make me believe once again
Or make me sick with love
And leave for dead ...

Outro

All I want is
Your whispered voice through the night
To steal my tears away
And heal my mind

Apart

Good Dream

There is some evilness in this one. Stay conscious while listening

LION3L

Romance or Die!

It's propagation was silent infecting all lives in certain galaxies and beyond. Transforming thoughts in unimaginable realities. No one could stop it.

Nervioux Virus

Look around as we pass through the devastation of the evilness.

The Flight

Fasten your seat belt. The portal is open and it's time to pass through

Askira's Running

Somewhere in this universe, we used to gather in this site, somewhere, somewhere...

Nightclub Bash

Rainland is out now. Album has a feeling of an old school synth-wave electronica with some uplifting beats and black and white movie quotes.
