Back In Time 04:15
I saw her standing in the pouring rain Down the road on the left side lane Ran down to ask her for her name But she replied sorry honey I'm late Then I left in an instant rush 'Cause if I'd stayed my heart she'd crush But then she called me with such lust And she said she was the untouched I wanna go way back in time 'Cause I've been sick of all these lies I wanna turn things back around And meet the devil when she was so young I felt so dead and stuck in time Wishing she'd be forever mine Feelings that will not flee my mind Chain me to blur and make me blind Her spirit lives throughout the air Don't bother searching for her any where Drafting the lands of nowhere Building long forgotten lairs

Devil Lady 05:28
Was a lady, dressed in black She'll call your name but don't look back Because her beauty is like a rose So you will beg her for a dose She holds a secret deep inside She's very weak so keep in mind And if you fall in love with her That secret she will with you share Feeling blue, dressed in black Seems she's glad but she's too sad She's the girl at devils side And she will make you for her die Every night in her own dreams She sees a nightmare then she screams But if you help her quit that fear A loud and scary sound you'll hear Cause there's a demon in her soul You cannot fight him on your own So say she's gone and leave her there Again her blackened face to wear Feeling blue, dressed in black Seems she's glad but she's too sad She's the girl at devils side And she will make you for her die Was a lady, dressed in black She'll call your name but don't look back Because her beauty is like a rose So you will beg her for a dose

Met a woman by the beat Dark brown hair dressed nice and neat Said her name I told her mine Asked her number in no time Both had many many drinks Made her laugh by any means I think I bought a beer or two Just enough to get her through Sweet sixteen just passing by See through her you'll se the sky Thought she needed something more I just gave her all my love Like big balloons the words flew up Had to speak and never stop Of course there were some awkward times Like a cassette blocked in rewind

Chuck Bum 03:59
Knew a guy did everything fast Not enough time always finishes last He did it all, all in a rush He ran and he ran, but didn't catch the bus Chuck Bum! Never was on time and everyone was mad But underneath all that, he was a very good lad His friends confront him had nothing to say He goes to his house in his bed to lay

Midas Touch 06:40
Well it must have been a thousand years And it must have been a thousand times That I tried to overcome my fears And to run away from all my crimes Then again I go back to the start To define all of my miseries But my memories they gave me scars 'Cause they dragged me into all of this I try so hard but always fail To keep myself from going nuts Then I know I'll be ok 'Cause I have the Midas touch The sun in my head shines bright It makes me sing this melody But the clouds outside they kill it's light It makes me define all of it

Decisions 06:09
I don't know what I've been waiting for A life I never even dreamed before I wait and wait without any control And always saying it is not my call Always looking down upon myself And always thinking what it should have been Paying up because I made mistakes And getting by, by simply saying no Honesty is always what it takes I didn't care and now it's time to go Always looking down upon myself And always thinking what it should have been But my wealth is gonna be my death It seems that I don't see the mess I'm in

Thrive 05:58
Get up dress up catch the bus Early mornings and I gotta roll Put on my headphones let my mind burst Light up a ciggy smoke will flow Never ending story closing Thoughts that never go away A game that's made for loosing Let time and space decay Fluffy cats and green sensations Records playing on the phono Naked bodies raw vibrations I'm I still alive? I don't know Control is a discreet illusion So treat it like a child A child that is full of confusion And meant to remain wild Found a way to thrive and grow 'Cause in the end I am the moment Love and hate are just a show And hosting them is a torment Electrifying all my thoughts Never seeing what I've got My mind is dividing my last breath Always thinking about myself

Always wanted to be free Grow my roots just like a tree Spread my hands upon the world Have many dreams 'till I grow old Understanding what I've done To correct it 'till the dawn When I'm done making my plans On your graves I shall then dance Made from nothing, to build something That I never done before Never back down, even from loathing I'll keep on trying that's for sure 'Till your deaths I'll keep on trying To prevent your mouths from lying 'Cause you'll see that I was right And try to take me out of sight Then your world will start collapsing And your hopes will stop from rising The life you made is not for all Making days and hours so dull Made from nothing, to build something That I never done before Never back down, even from loathing I'll keep on trying that's for sure But then again the world is strange It works in cruel and evil ways It will not let you make a change 'Cause all ideas and light it slays

ΩHM 05:20
I never dreamed hate and I don't mind The fear of loosing faith keeps me alive Cause I don't want my life to be kept back And all the things I once loved turning black Time will never give you all the things you never had 'Cause it goes by and makes you all the things that really made you mad But if you try, your world will always be a never ending lie Then you will fly to places that the times are hardly getting by Isolation. Some say that it generates anxiety, sometimes depression. But there's a bright side to it. Every morning we wake up, we have to follow the routine that they made us create. Every day seems to be the same. So, every once in awhile we need to be left alone with ourselves, with our thoughts. Doing that, well succeed in knowing ourselves better, and in depth. Isolation helps one achieve inner peace sometimes, and that leads to a better understanding of the world and the people that surrounds us. So, hopefully, if everyone realises that, soon we will live in world of peace and clarity. It's going to take a long time, but when it happens, the sun will shine upon us all. Isolation is a gift, given to us by a higher force. So use it wisely and carefully, or it will turn on us, and be our damnation...

Every morning I wake up, it's the same thing everyday It's just routine I have to follow, and a game I have to play No need for you to set me free, I tried already many times There is no turning back you see, so accept this feeling as it is I've taken loads and loads of these, more than you ever expected Just like a spreading bad disease, that for so long I've been infected So hurry up, and choose your side With me your soul will die for sure So keep your happiness and pride And try to stay sober and pure Welcome to my messed up world, the world of laughs that never stay With me being it's only lord, you must an awful price to pay There is no time in this damn place, I got used to this sadful fact I hide my fake and two side face, 'cause if they see it I am fucked Destruction seemed the only way, I say you stay onto your side It is the truth I like to say, 'cause then you'll say I simply lied So hurry up, and choose your side With me your soul will die for sure So keep your happiness and pride And try to stay sober and pure Every morning I wake up, it's the same thing everyday It's just routine I have to follow, and a game I have to play And a game I have to play...

Remember when the days were bright And never thought we'll see the longest night But now the world is changing fast Seeking for ways to go back to the past The day will come, and it won't be long 'Till we realize what we've done and what it takes It won't be easy for some, but we gotta stay strong Because all our deeds will turn into mistakes It never meant to go this way It's getting darker every single day They say it's all part of the plan One day we'll realize we've lost and what we've done The day will come, and it won't be long 'Till we realize what we've done and what it takes It won't be easy for some, but we gotta stay strong Because all our deeds will turn into mistakes The world is going up in flames And we don't see what we've become I'm tired and done with playing games Give into hate and then it's done No no...

about

This album is the outcome of four individuals who combined their art to create what resulted to the feelings that these songs produce. Each track was composed in different times and places, which means that each one of them has it's own unique meaning and feeling. The seven years evolvement of the band is felt through the sequence of these tracks, which are placed in chronological order of their creation. We hope that our music and lyrics will affect, and maybe help, each of you in various ways. This is the gift of isolation, and we are Hemingways.
