Oceans

In a sea of trees
You see a tree
With perfect branches
In symmetry

In a sea of trees
You see a tree
With broken branches
So ugly

You want to be this perfect tree
It looks so nice, so problem-free
Don't want to be this broken tree
It looks not nice, just how you feel

Trees

When a man’s just born - he’s weak and flexible
When he dies he’s hard and insensitive
When a tree is growing - it’s tender and pliant
But when it’s dry and hard - it dies

Hardness and strength
Are deaths companions
Because whar has hardened 
Will never win

But the most important - let them believe in themselves
They will be helpless like small children  
From pliancy and weakness comes freshness of being 
And our strength remains just nothingness

Hardness & Strength

Are people liars
Because they need their shell?
Are people devils 
Because they live in hell?

Don’t blame yourself
Let change yourself
Don’t hate yourself
Reflect yourself

Are people without love
Because they never got?
Do people hate
Because they lost?

Don’t blame yourself
Let change yourself
Don’t hate yourself
Reflect yourself

Why do we always fail
And try too hard on each other?
Why can't we all just live
'til we dissolve?

Don’t hate yourself

Redemption

You blemish our photograph
Where we used to smile
Neglecting the aftermath
And let time rewind
I perish in misery
While you come around preaching how my life should be
Now take your own medicine
Leave your schemes behind

Now all these years they have gone by
No need for tears, no need to cry
Been too weary in this life
My honesty don't need to hide
Pointless fears now lay aside
Don't regret this former life	

Stay with me
I'd tell anyone

What's your reason to boss around?
Can't see you helping anyone except your self-doubt
You're bathing in ignorance
Stuck up so hard in your loathing self-defence
I'm free from your apathy and I feel fine
I don't need to testify
I made it all right in here

Now all these years they have gone by
No need for tears, no need to cry
Been too weary in this life
My honesty don't need to hide
Pointless fears now lay aside
Don't regret this former life	

Leave with me
I'd tell anyone
