Letra
Feat. Kiesza I'm not gonna sleep tonight Till the morning fills the sky No one's getting left behind This is our time This is our time! We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah Live it like it's our last night 'Cause nobody cares If there's no tomorrow I'm not thinking ‘bout the future It's somewhere out there We're too busy being human We remember Hearts' spinning all around on me (together) Now they're surrounding me This is how we get connected Running out the shadows into light! We're gonna love this night, ye-yeah Loving like it's our last night Stars up in the air, ye-yeah It's our LAST NIGHT in the city! I've been traveling around now Big world with my brothers Always moving to a new town No time to put the roofs down We can't stop believing (can't stop) Now we believe in you 'Cause when you're standing in the spotlights The only thing that matters is tonight!! We're gonna live this night, ye-yeah Live it like it's our last night - You Kill Me With Silence4:28
Letra
You're thin ice, I should be on solid ground And oh, so quiet vice, I can hear the cracking sound But I remain despite your deadly aim To drive another lad insane When you won't speak my name You kill me with silence That's your style, girl You're letting me know This deafening silence The only reason that you're in control You're in control It's emotional violence I can't breathe now But I can't let go You kill me with silence Silence... Silence... Truth or lies Things are hoting up in here If I had a knife You could cut the atmosphere Something else I like this bed of nails That's what I tell myself Couldn't be much worse in hell You kill me with silence That's your style, girl You're letting me know This deafening silence The only reason that you're in control You're in control It's emotional violence I can't breathe now, but I can't let go You kill me with silence Silence... You kill me with silence Kill me with silence - Pressure Off4:19

Letra
A little rain of comfort In the after-noon To bottling up the room To lighten up your mood The whole world is a mix spot On a plastic spoon You can find it, or invite it Live beside it, laugh until you're crying Hold on to your time, boy Don't be scared of what they say You're putting a fight, girl If you got the face for today, yeah! Around, around the wall of death Around you go What keeps you in the air Is having not they care, yeah And time flies like a dancing man On crystal glow You can find it, or invite it Live beside it, laugh until you're crying Hold on to your time, boy Don't be scared of what they say You're putting a fight, girl You've got that things which makes them smile, yeah Hold on to your time, boy Wake up on that speeding train You're putting a fight, girl If you got the face for today, yeah! When you got the face for today, yeah Hold on to your time, boy Don't be scared of what they say You're putting a fight, girl You've got that things which makes them smile, yeah Hold on to your time, boy Wake up on that speeding train You're putting a fight, girl If you got the face for today, yeah! The face for today, yeah The face for today, yeah! - Dancephobia4:13
- What Are The Chances?4:55
Letra
Any other day and you might have gone walking by Without a second look Any other way but I'm still mystified I'm just trying to change my luck Staring out the world awaiting for the one But the world won't look away The world does not explain So, what are the chances? We'll never know If we take it for granted The diamond explodes What are the chances? Playing with your life or is it destiny Which sets you on a path? Is it out of tries that you're here next to me Or just the aftermath Of moments as the past So, what are the chances? We'll never know If we take it for granted The diamond explodes What are the chances? We are lost in the flow I'm looking for answers, oho So, what are the chances? We'll never know If we take it for granted The diamond explodes What are the chances? We are lost in the flow I'm looking for answers, oho - Sunset Garage4:43
Letra
So halfway drunk You'd never feel With your big eye punk Fashion fingernails Something cooking When you play guitar What a stake we're in How did we get so far? Whatever happens, we're okay Hey, we're still alive To watch a sunset garage day Head into the light Oh, oh with that all goes wrong We're gonna make it on our own I promise us a garage day, oh See how the town comes out Like a bruise When the wheels go round We can do anything Nobody looking And then 6 more come Maybe later, later Could take it up from here Whatever happens, we're okay Hey, we're still alive To watch a sunset garage day Head into the light Oh, oh with that all goes wrong We're gonna make it on our own Oh, oh, if they bring us down We're gonna break out of this town Into a sunset garage day, oh Yesterday looks so dead, so far away From this point of disarray Waiting for a sun burn into frame It's so fine, about the high water life Shifting with the paradise Drifting as the drain move into flame Oh, oh with that all goes wrong We're gonna make it on our own Oh, oh, if it all goes wrong We're gonna make it on our own It's a sunset garage day, oh yeah! It's a sunset garage day, oh yeah, yeah It's a sunset garage day, yeah, yeah, yeah - Change The Skyline3:57

Letra
Only in dreams girl am I part of your world My heart it screams or so it seems Only in dreams Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams Only in dreams girl where my crime goes unheard What does it mean to fly the scene? Only in dreams girl There's a vampire in the limousine Sun's going down like a symphony She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet I don't want to wake up Only in dreams I'm in dopamine time It's in my genes, it get's extreme Only in dreams How did I dream you? You're the queen of steel dunes Look what you done - my colors run When ever you come to There's a vampire in the limousine Sun's going down like a symphony She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet I don't want to wake up Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams There's a vampire in the limousine Sun's going down like a symphony She keeps a guard up while her nails are wet I don't want to wake up On the rooftop we can feel the drop She bathes in the moon while the shadows watch I should be nervous but my eyes forget I don't want to wake up I'm not gonna wake up I don't want to wake up Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams Don't want to wake up Only in my - in my dreams - only in my dreams Don't want to wake up ... Dreams - The Universe Alone6:02
Letra
It's beautiful, the dying sun The end of everything and everyone So shall we make a clan my friend As if we have the chance to live it all again I'll see you in some other lifetime On the other side of what we'll never know Together we have walked a fine line Now we go to face the universe alone In plain view, the mistakes we've made But is there anything you'd really want to change? To win and lose then win again To have it all then throw it all away I'll see you in some other lifetime On the other side of what we'll never know Together we have walked a fine line Now we go to face the universe alone How beautiful the closing down The fading out, it spins and goes around With darkness and the heart of man And here we are back where it all began I'll see you in some other lifetime The universe alone The universe alone The universe alone
