Words don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I love you
Words don't come easy

Words don't come easy to me
This is the only way for me to say I love you
Words don't come easy

Dammi le tue parole

Words don't come easy to me

LYRICS

You were always on my side.Silent and contagious.
You couldn't care this time. We didn't make it.
You were always on my mind. Silent but contagious.
You couldn't care this time. We didn't make it.

14 days, they say you loved me.

You were always on my side.Silent and contagious.
You couldn't care this time. We didn't make it.
You were always on my mind. Silent but contagious.
You couldn't care this time. We didn't make it.

If you really don't know. If you really don't care.
Be silent and contagious. If you really don't mind.
If you really don't dare. We didn't make it.

14 days, they say you loved me.

If you really don't know. If you really don't care.
Be silent and contagious. If you really don't mind.
If you really don't dare. We didn't make it.

If you really don't know. If you really don't care.
Be silent and contagious. If you really don't mind.
If you really don't dare. I didn’t take it.

LYRICS

I sure feel it's coming
That feeling
I keep wondering
Should I leave you
Without just saying nothing
I let you feel the real thing
Could I leave you

And every time it's passing by
And I still know how to cry
So I said hey don't follow where I go
I swear you really wouldn't be there
Just let me go

Hey mister selfish man
Give a reason don’t leave me don't understand
We started out living
We grew as friends
Love’s nearby and no dead end

Hey mister selfish man
I am sorry I really don't comprehend
Sending my thoughts as loud as I can
Do better or get out my man

I sure feel it's coming
That feeling
I keep wondering
Should I leave you
Without just saying nothing
I let you feel the real thing
Could I leave you

And every time it's passing by
And I still know how to cry
So I said hey don't follow where I go
I swear you really wouldn't be there
Just let me go
Why would you go

Hey mister selfish man
Give a reason don’t leave me don't understand
We started out living
We grew as friends
Love’s nearby and no dead end

Hey mister selfish man
I am sorry I really don't comprehend
Sending my thoughts as loud as I can
Love’s nearby and no dead end

Hey mister selfish man
Give a reason don’t leave me don't understand
We started out living
We grew as friends
Love’s nearby and no dead end

Hey mister selfish man
I am sorry I really don't comprehend
Sending my thoughts as loud as I can
Do better or get out my man

LYRICS

Why don’t you put me on the ground face down
I’ll let you drown me in my sleep right now
Paranoia is back breakdown
Creepy voices in my head lights out
Another day, another fight with a crowd in my mind singing
They won’t tell me what is right, keep me down, hold me tight saying
Paranoia paranoia

You’re an ugly mother no
You’re an ugly mother no
You’re an ugly mother noo
You’re an ugly mother nooo
You’re an ugly mother noooo
You’re an ugly mother nooooo
Motherfucker

Face down
Breakdown
Lights out
Break down
Dominus Timidus


Filled with fear, filled with dread, losing grip, gasping air
Creeping in, crying out, mental prison of doubt
There’s no way to stop it, to end it, to avoid
psychosis, nervous breakdown, hell no paranoid
Another day, another fight with a crowd in my mind singing
They won’t tell me what is right, keep me down, hold me tight saying
Paranoia paranoia

You’re an ugly mother no
You’re an ugly mother no
You’re an ugly mother noo
You’re an ugly mother nooo
You’re an ugly mother noooo
You’re an ugly mother nooooo
Motherfucker

Face down
Breakdown
Lights out
Breakdown

LYRICS

Paranoia is in bloom
The PR transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around


Another promise, another scene
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Interchanging mind control
Come, let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die

Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time's coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

LYRICS

Right in the shadows of a silent room
There’s a girl with a spirit that’s about to be consumed
Scars on her heart, she wears them proud
But the girl's got a battle, disappointment unallowed 

Shouts in the middle of the
Cries in the waking of a
Fights if sedated by an easy crowd
Shouts in the middle of the
Cries in the waking of
The girl's got a battle, transformation unallowed

Deep inside, she's got that flame
Heating up, anchoring and tightening the chain
She’s a little fighter always thinking she’s right
Boy I can assure you, not a wonderful delight

Shouts in the middle of the
Cries in the waking of a
Fights if sedated by an easy crowd
Shouts in the middle of the
Cries in the waking of
The girl's got a battle, transformation unallowed



Be better, be better, be better
Everyone agrees it’s time to be better
Be better, be better
Everyone agrees it’s time to be better

Shouts in the middle of the
Cries in the waking of a
Fights if sedated by an easy crowd
Shouts in the middle of the
Cries in the waking of
The girl's got a battle, transformation unallowed

With every tear, rebellion brews
Rewriting her story, buying extra shoes
A wise man said, let’s face all facts
The girl's got a battle, but she utterly attracts

Shouts in the middle of the
Cries in the waking of a
Fights if sedated by an easy crowd
Shouts in the middle of the
Cries in the waking of
The girl's got a battle, transformation unallowed

Be better, be better, be better
Everyone agrees it’s time to be better
Be better, be better
Everyone agrees it’s time to be better

Be Better

Being here forever
With my soulmate
A delight to take

Kindness no endeavor
For you it's natural
So logical


Seeing us together
Those years gone by
Yet we’ve shined


I see it in your eyes, the story grows
All I ever wanted you to know
Life is so much brighter with you home
Caring minds, you and I 

I see it in your eyes, a sudden glow
And all I ever needed you to know
That life is somehow special since we gave
The long hello 

Imagine, us together
Living out our stay
Every night embraced

Knowing that it’s forever
That this is actual
Kinda magical


And time will not erase
Those years gone by
Still we shine


Because I
See it in your eyes, the story grows
And all I ever wanted you to know
That life is so much brighter with you home !
Caring minds, you and I 

That’s why I
See it in your eyes, a sudden glow
And all I ever needed you to know
That life is somehow special since we gave
The long hello
