I Am Alive 04:13
You must open your eyes before they get shut Why do I have you in my life? You don't help me Understand me You're crying all the time Why you running? Why you screaming? You were supposed to love me I feel you're scared of me Don't be scared of me The drink is just to numb me The blows are just to numb you Can't you see how I'm hurting? Please don't hurt me Please don't leave me Why don't you simply just kill me I wouldn't mind You wouldn't mind I gave you all my heart Scared of emptyness Scared of lonelyness The drink is just to numb me The blows are just to numb you I want to feel alive Not just to survive A woman with love and respect A woman without neglect I tried to tell you But you won't hear me You'd rather beat me I know that I have strength in me Much more than you do I don't need you I deserve better than this My eyes are swollen But they are open The drink is just to numb me The blows are just to numb you I want to say goodbye I have told you goodbye Now I'm ready to try "Strong!" is my battlecry "Power!" is my battlecry I am alive!

Rain 03:31
Rain, midnight rain, nothing but the wild rain On this bleak hut, and solitude, and me Remembering again that I shall die And neither hear the rain nor give it thanks For washing me cleaner than I have been Since I was born into this solitude. Blessed are the dead that the rain rains upon.

Whispers 02:52
I crave the moon and gaze across the sky; But why are you, my muse, so far and high? Is it a smile, a grin that you display; Bravery, poise, or nerve, or simply dismay? You hide, you shy away, but if you might Share with me, your clouded secrets tonight? Tell me legends of long ago, Ancient lore to keep me awake, Famed deeds of a lonely hero That sleepless nights never forsake. The sun drowns on, but you, superb, have risen, A grand hymn to lead a new horizon; Full of old winged beasts, wyverns, and dragons, That fill this dark night with curious visions. They yield and fade away to sparkling stars, Painting my dreams and making this sky ours. Tell me legends of long ago, Ancient lore to keep me awake, Famed deeds of a lonely hero That sleepless nights never forsake. They yield and fade away to sparkling stars, Painting my dreams and making this sky ours.

Silly Song 03:38
I was walking down the street, pretty as I could be Such a sunny day, so sweet, today I'm happy Oh no not again! What is it for? Sudan? Dude, I don't know, throw them a bone I care as much as a stone Silly song, happy song, silly song, yeah yeah, Happy song, silly song, happy song, why should I care? I was watching some TV, my favorite show, Alongside my handsome baby, sipping on some Bordeaux Oh no not again! What is it for? The Afghans? Why can't you leave me alone I care as much as a stone Silly song, happy song, silly song, yeah yeah, Happy song, silly song, happy song, why should I care? I was shopping at the mall, with my girlfriend A thousand bucks for a Hermes shawl, this fun will never end Oh no not again! What is it for? Poor Americans? Go get a job or get a loan, I care as much as a stone Silly song, happy song, silly song, yeah yeah, Happy song, silly song, happy song, why should I care?
