// Intro: Alright..., yeah... Ok, some piano... Good, good, good, good. So..., *mumbles* If it's in my heart Nico, if it's in your heart! Press play. // Verse: In my heart, I feel a thousand feelings How do I get them out, yes, I'm ripe & willing And it feels like, I love you!

You are my friend x4 / Outro: Damnit..., great, ok! On to the next one...

/ Intro: Yeah..., ok... // Chorus: Sometimes I wish that I were living In the depths of chains & hatred is where I’m treading And I wish that I could return on living But it seems as if that my plans are different // Verse #1: Sometimes it seems that I wish to live with this anguish As if…, ridding of it would seem to be somewhat ludicrous As if, I can’t stand true constant happiness Well…, I’ve lived with this constant back and forth like it’s The only way to experience, as if the downs compliment the highs And vice versa, I must admit…, there’s a thrill in tumbling into a vicious mind state, to eventually thrive in one that is seemingly beautiful // Chorus: Sometimes I wish that I were living In the depths of chains & hatred is where I’m treading And I wish that I could return on living But it seems as if that my plans are different // Verse #2: I imagine that I’m waddling through mud Every step I take doesn’t do much Every knee up’s an energy crunch So any light touch feels like letup I try to breakup mud round my waist to get up At least my heads up above ground, that makes up Or I think it does, for all the enoughs In the past century or somewhat The tradeoff’s a bit funny is my thought Cause the jackpots a one in a million one shot A noscope 360 with blindfolds on I ask not to boycott, no, but I ask that we get buckshots for all us In the back blind spot tryna aim at targets That are way up front and I ain’t even the farthest Whom I kidding, the buckshots probably worthless // Chorus x2: Sometimes I wish that I were living In the depths of chains & hatred is where I’m treading And I wish that I could return on living But it seems as if that my plans are different

// Chorus: The city is alive, the city is alive You better be strong, be strong, to stay alive Don't just sit inside! Don't just sit inside You better shine bright, shine bright Brighter than the light // Verse #1: City life can be frightening Rightfully so, it’s where we all amass En mass, seeking success But rather we bask in hardship We play chess with every convict Marching for greatness Regardless, look, the problem has deep roots But with every darkness comes the good, too - City life is violent if you can’t navigate You gotta think anew to breakthrough But as humans, yeah, we tend to pull through Tried and true, so think of it this way…, You can build new realities, flip the script You can be an author in this concrete environment But expect constant debris, nothing less Dreams will be killed unless You possess a profound blessing Next-level persistence and a obsessive commitment to your quest at best // Chorus: The city is alive, the city is alive You better be strong, be strong, to stay alive Don't just sit inside! Don't just sit inside You better shine bright, shine bright Brighter than the light // Verse #2: It’s time to set your mark Whatever scars you have acquired will get you far If you can learn from them, learn from what has been hard The burns, attacks, loneliness, depression, reverse impacts Man, let it spark The landmark of the re-birth of a shark There’s an art in the ability to outsmart If adopted correctly, you can basically jumpstart Over every diehard, catch them off-guard So continue to educate Question everything & debate Set ablaze a straight path to the greats Strike when it is right but stop waiting, fight Arrogate for your right to flight, man, keep in mind There’s an appetite you must acquire That is downright an unmeasurable height Something others wouldn’t even dare to climb There’s a time and place for every battle cry Stop waiting for lunch time // Chorus: The city is alive, the city is alive You better be strong, be strong, to stay alive Don't just sit inside! Don't just sit inside You better shine bright, shine bright Brighter than the light // Solo Guitar // Chorus x2: The city is alive, the city is alive You better be strong, be strong, to stay alive Don't just sit inside! Don't just sit inside You better shine bright, shine bright Brighter than the light

// Chorus x2: We are entering a Brave New World And it seems we do it willingly So I hope that I will find my way In a world where the gangsters play // Verse #1: Community, Identity, Stability… That’s the motto The sound is what you hear within me Dogs barking in the cold, unease Cursed, I’m curious and hungry Ignorance, far-wide & plenty - Maybe…, maybe I should mind my own business Tricked into a community living Mandatorily stable, artistically crippling A place where conditioning is made And your free will is the free will of slaves I am made to behave and act upon name Made to display within shade // Chorus x2: We are entering a Brave New World And it seems we do it willingly So I hope that I will find my way In a world where the gangsters play // Verse #2: Complacent, conservative and faceless A result, generated existence Almost there, like a faded vision There must be more than our molded creation Hypno’d so the light switch is flipped off Or flipped on, any act wished upon Not unlike the screens, that render us numb But so strong is the drum in this one - Get ready..., free willy... - A slave hive doesn’t like a free mind... Been proved, there’s always one to break through See things a little different, push-through They can stand strong but in the end, we all move Change’s debut // Chorus x2: We are entering a Brave New World And it seems we do it willingly So I hope that I will find my way In a world where the gangsters play

// Chorus x2: I am a puzzled puzzle Sometimes the bricks don’t match Why am I living my life Waiting for that fucking patch // Verse #1: You hear that? Sounds like a bell... Like doomsday or something Like it’s the end… I live inside 4 walls of concrete And I sit trying to write this dumb shit I say this cause I let the world affect me Push me, with little chance to succeed I’ve begun to hate, what’s within me Why couldn’t I want, something easy It’s beyond me, how I still believe - Maybe it’s purely greed I’m puzzled, in a scuffle Fighting my own double Wrestling in mind rubble Full knuckles In the struggle, I chuckle Life is pure trouble Juggling between a muzzle or full hustle, It seems awful But I can’t change the speed of this throttle Honestly, it’s seemed to run as it’s wanted In a never ending dark tunnel // Chorus x2: I am a puzzled puzzle Sometimes the bricks don’t match Why am I living my life Waiting for that fucking patch // Verse #2: The bricks just won’t mix…, I’ve looked within It seems as if…, some pieces are missing But it’s only a thought cause I think That this box is a drop into a dark abyss, I sink Looking for reasons where I can bring logic to this dig Trying to perfect my skills within puzzle solving talent But It seems as if this shit never ends… So I rapidly get ahead of me Try to settle the rabid machinery Level headed in a scenery seemingly Filled with neutrality, I ain’t falling for wizardry So I’m constantly digging debris consistently Cleaning toxicity but my ability is limited, flipping Imagery timidly - specifically negativity While additionally improving liquidity within me But it’s inefficient, well at least I am different? // Chorus x2: I am a puzzled puzzle Sometimes the bricks don’t match Why am I living my life Waiting for that fucking patch

// Chorus: These walls, are made to be broken I’m crossing oceans, that are in between In the midst, of all the commotion I hope that you know, what this means to me // Verse: It’s funny, how I just seemed to hide from it It’s seemed easier at the time, I’m not gonna lie It’s easier to stay on your side in the divide The effort to cross sides sometimes can break minds Or free souls, especially if both walk the same road, I know But it’s hard, it’s easier to stay afar Sometimes time needs to break scars but they never do They only thing that fades is the memory in you But the pain continues And I laugh, cause life doesn’t seem so bad I’m a survivor, and at any cost at that But it’s a terrible mind state and I hate to say But I’ll let down my guard for this sake Dad, can we just reconnect paths Man, what it took to say that I’m not sure if I’m glad or I regret The re-awakening of past cause it’s as if The hardened shell that I’ve held for so long has fallen It’s a weird feeling, something I might not be comfortable with yet I cross oceans in the hope to connect Or at least respect the life of another man I can complain but I never had his circumstances It’s no excuse but it soothes Me to know choices were hard to choose But let’s compromise, walk in each others shoes So you get me and I get you You’re hurt and I am too so let’s make do Father and son, the debut.

// Verse #1: I don't know. I don't know which way to go Tell me, I need to know. Yes, I'm burning in my soul Yes, I'm burning in my soul x4 - You don't need to tell me, only I can tell myself I trust myself, I believe in myself I love myself, it's ok to do that Respect ones self, true that I admire the fact that I still survive Despite the struggle and the pain, I'm more than alright I admire the fact that I stand up when I cry I've wanted to die but how does that help me to survive I wanna stay alive, yes, I wanna do the right and I wanna spend my time, to better mankind And that's my goal, believe it or not, I'm sold I grow quickly but my goal will never grow old I'll do this 'till the end, even if I end in poverty And I'll not regret that cash was not a priority It's fine if it funds my cause, yes, I'm already Ready to push my part in mankind's story // Chorus: It's like a melody that we all seek inside In harmony, we'll serenade our pride // Verse #2: It’s a beautiful thing to have confidence And to love what you do, even stronger then Don’t get discouraged, it takes nourishment To calm your nerve, to spark the spirit Past experiences have torn me I used to be…, fearless, but Now..., I’m a bit incoherent My mind is so vivid, every minute But what I exhibit is now explicit Limited by digits, critics & failure But I wish that I will re-vamp my behavior My attitudes to what they once were We all seek, this inner harmony But we’re insecure, stripped from what was once pure You must adore & love your inner war Cause I assure you are that much more // Chorus: It's like a melody that we all seek inside In harmony, we'll serenade our pride
