I am the logical man, feelings I have none
 All I see is numbers, all I see is numbers
 I am the logical man, trapped in a shell
 Walking the line, time after time
 Insane, driving me insane
 
 Didn’t know exactly what to do
 Lost myself when I lost you
 
 I’m gone, Did you ever know?
 Were you never cold?
 Eyes wide shut
 I’m done in the afterglow
 Would you let it go?
 Far too real 
 
 Never too little, never too much
 Zeros and ones, zeros and ones
 I am the logical man, key in a lock
 Wheel and the stone, the blackest hole
 Insane, driving me insane
 
 Call off the search!
 Call off the search!

S.P.A.R.K 03:21
Flow against me so
 Very nearly and
 You are mine, you are the...
 
 One more piece and it
 Will be over now
 You are mine you are the one
 
 The spark is coming my way now
 It’s more than you have to take So forget the delusions, allusions
 I love you
 
 You’re my fatal dose
 What I want the most 
 Thorn without a rose
 Highest treason will
 Cure my reason and
 You are mine the you are the... 
 One true riddle so
 There’s no middle and
 You are mine, you are the one
 
 You’re my fatal dose
 What I want the most 
 Thorn without a rose
 You keep me alive 
 With a twist of the knife
 Up against the ropes
 
 Keeps me alive Against the ropes My fatal dose My fatal dose My fatal dose

Satellites 03:38
Tonight we’re looking for truth
 In the eye of the storm
 Circled by cheap suits We got nothing to lose, 
 We go something to prove
 Won’t be young forever 
 
 Your smile, so fake
 How much does it take?
 
 Under these satellites 
 We’ll light up like dynamite
 Break out, the call to arms
 Standing for the first step to change it all
 
 We’re left out in the cold In the carbon warmth
 Now the city needs To sew the seams of my heart
 Take us back to the start 
 We’ll be young forever
 
 This is my home
 I feel so numb
 
Your smile, so fake
 How much does it take?
 
 Take off my skin The point I lost control
 The beast always wins Cold grip around my throat This is my home
 I feel so numb
 
Your smile, so fake
 How much does it take?
 

4.
You are the thing I want the most
 Worthless people around
 The seat that I take, a smile that I make
 It’s all you see, in me?
 
 You got a place in which you hide
 Too hard to find
 I’m trying so much but you put up a fight
 Is it a test? Did I pass or fail?
 
 I saw the warning signs 
 Should’ve left it all behind
 Should've left it all behind 
 I cry, I play, I laugh, I sing
 I’ll put on a show
 I'll leave it to fate, it's so easy to fake
 All we’re meant to be, tonight
 
 I am so drunk I fail to see
 Is it you or me?
 You didn’t try to look in my eyes
 Is it a test? Did I pass or fail?
 
 You had me at goodbye
 Should’ve read between the lines 
 When you told me I’d be fine
 
 I saw the warning signs 
 Should’ve left it all behind
 Should've left it all behind Is it just me, or is it time that we go?
 Call me crazy, I’ll act like I know 

5.
Don’t know how to talk with you Pseudo smile I see right through Don’t recall, build these walls The darker side of this, is mine What follows is clear Still I carry on the same Let’s start a fire, let’s start a war! Eyes are screaming, we shout Lets start a fire, lets start a war! Your hand in mine, the worlds too small Down we fall, fear in our eyes Just a few beautiful lies look up on the small crowd No one left for us to fool From town to town Just looking for you Round and round on every avenue Until I found you, I found you
6.
It feels like you you've been my only friend, my only friend for years The lie we live in keeps us high and dry, as time goes by You left paintings, your records and stories of war, that's all If all that were left with is now Don’t look down! I don’t see you hang around here anymore Don’t look down! The rumours circle and the glances that you draw Don’t look down! Past the lights on the side of the road we will Go! I'm tired of hearing that same old song, same old song far years, Between wrong and right I won’t give up, without a fight Cut through the ashes of logic and reason my broken mind, is what you find If all that were left with is now Don’t look down!
7.
A room full of strangers
 Keep out of sight
 A smile invites the danger
 Lonely rays of light
 
 Locks on the window
 This hell is home
 The whisper in my ear
 Is a voice that I know
 
 Clouds hide the faces
 Of people from the past
 I’ll write the pages 
 But these moments don’t last 
 
 Broken ties, pack of lies, whose side are you on? Won't even notice I'm gone
 
 Words you say, sound like some else
 Broke down, ’til there’s nothing left
 Guess you, put me in my place
 Always Your Way! 
 
 I still remember 
 Sand I can not grasp
 I won’t surrender To the hour glass
8.
Letters 03:13
Throw the dice
 For a key to the cage
 We live between the lines on the page
 
 Letters fly my way
 In this great escape
 Let’s find our way home
 One last time
 
 I can’t sleep, l’ll write straight through the night
 Just trying to survive, to hold on, hold on
 
 No matter what
 It is they’re trying to say
 Before you know
 The ink will fade away
 
 These words don’t make
 For our saving grace
 Let’s find our way home
 One last time
 
 A falling star
 A wish goes by
 Here I stand
 The same
 
 When these envelopes
 Go up in smoke
 Here I’ll stand the same
 The same
 

9.
Test Me 03:49
I never thought it would be this hard
 Always thought I had so much time
 People knock, knock, knock on my door
 It's time to go, it's time to go
 
 I guess there won't be a second chance
 This is it, time to push yourself
 Take the leap of faith 
 Jump down straight to hell
 
 Long fall
 Test me now!
 Test me now!
 
 It is time to fight
 Hold my fists up high
 They’re laughing
 And I’m dying
 But I’ll do it again
 I’ll do it again
 
 These days, I forget just what I had
 People just fade away
 I'm alone, my only friend
 Greatest battle in my head
 
 Whispers, whispers all around me
 Whispers, whispers in my brain
 Empty life, no more highs, broken mind, say goodbye
 I scream out loud Not this time
 
 
 

10.
Started out in a house of cards
 We all had nothing to hide
 In a sky full of stars
 Got left in the dark
 
 One too many ghosts in this town
 No stories left to write I'll bring the curtain down
 A king with no crown
 
 It got me hypnotised
 On the wrong side of the line
 
 I've fallen behind
 Running out of time
 
 Leading a life ripped in two I'm your Jekyll and Hyde
 In a room without a view 
 The last drinks for you 
 I try to hit the floor
 Theres no ground below
 I've fallen behind
 Running out of time Not getting out alive This is my last goodbye I've fallen behind
11.
Call Me Out 02:58
There ain’t no smoke without fire, 
 Cut the wire, to blow you away
 I let you down too many times, 
 Just tell me what you're trying to say
 
 I walked around, ’til I found Someone I could fool, cheap cigars Burning up, baby now were through
 It’s the naked truth 
 I’m coming for you
 
 Cross me off your list of perfect friends
 Call me out one more time 
 I know you can not resist my spell
 Watch it work, watch it work on you again
 
 I know what it means to be a liar Trusting me was your last mistake
 With you, there’s a lot left to desire Old habits are harder to break
 
 Like a moth to the flame 
 Don’t want what you can’t control
 You give me such a bad name
 When you make me take the fall
12.
Keep Running 03:22
It drives me insane
 Take the sweet with the bitter
 ‘cos every day is the same
 The sinner or the saint
 
 On my face is a smile
 All that’s gold doesn't glitter 
 From the ashes to the fire
 Living the lie
 
 It’s time to 
 Draw the line
 Bury the memories
 You'll never learn
 Whose side are you on? 
 So Take what you wanted
 love it or leave it
 Keep running 
 Keep running away
 
Keep running away
 Are you satisfied?
 Sold me down the river 
 I’ll fight against the tide I’ll sing my battle cry
 
 I wish I could love
 With my finger on the trigger
 Water thicker than our blood
 But Is it enough?
 
 Without you it’s not the same
 It's the price we have to pay Ground beneath us starts to shake
 The sky above us starts to cave

Wciąż pytasz: ‘jak, co, gdzie?’ Twe kłamstwa wcinają się Nie ma tu cię, ja mówię nie Z ust cicho szept wypełza Mów czego mi brak, a jak Tak dobrze mnie znasz, a jak Kolejny raz Zostawiasz wrak Powiedz: Prawda świeci Wśród złych, wśród zamieci Nie wiesz kim ja jestem Nie wiesz co na mnie masz Powiedz: Prawda świeci Wśród złych, wśród zamieci Nie wiesz kim ja jestem Nie wiesz na co, na co mnie stać To miasto ta cicha noc Strach widzę, czuję ten mrok Kolejny krok Schodzę na bok Twe kłamstwo mnie wyręcza Mój skrócony dzień Jak wycięty pień Roni się łza Oddech, łamie się kra Zdrajcy o jednego mniej Powiedz: Prawda świeci Wśród złych, wśród zamieci Nie wiesz kim ja jestem Nie wiesz co na mnie masz Powiedz: Prawda świeci Wśród złych, wśród zamieci Nie wiesz kim ja jestem Nie wiesz na co, na co mnie stać
