I shall forget
 whatever happened in my life before, years and months and nights turned to suffering, the moment of separation, I won’t ask you for what you can’t give, I won’t ask for your love, I won’t knock on closed doors anymore, don't turn your eyes away from me Chorus: Maybe our paths will meet someday Our paths our love our thoughts our joy I will always keep hold of love that’s true, I will always hope for uncommon love, the thought that hurts, the thought that chills My voice is calling, just allow me your friendship Chorus: Maybe our paths will meet someday Our paths our love our thoughts our joy

Manifesto 03:05
Lyrics to Smoll Mashop Verse: Alone like under a shroud. Drowning, drowning like in times of mourning. Spill, pour out tears and dry. Thinking of stopping time but mistaken. Scream, pray, laugh, deny…. Shoot, cry, push, flee! Ugly…man, because the end is close. Close but buddy nothing prevent that we initiate: Grace, style, rhymes on the mark; Strengths multiplied as that of a missile. Bet-break, split the vinyl… but dude the flow is fly as far as the edge of the Thames. Scared to fall without being able to hold on to. Fear that has been dominated by too much of anxiety. Scared of trying without finally making it. Trying to go forward to have no regrets!! Middle Bridge Section: Don’t be afraid, Just take the time, Think…take action!

Old Hat 03:23
Are we all like that? And do we have to match? It's becoming old hat And that man is a lesson in fashion We fear this is rigged Or real enough to feign Are they all like that? Why do they have to laugh? Its becoming old hat And that man is our lesson in fashion We fear that this is rigged Or real enough to feign are we really hearing voices or is this just noise are we really hearing voices or is this just noise are we really hearing voices or is this just noise Walk alone and it'll tear you up Walk alone and it'll tear you up walk alone and It'll tear you up Are we all like that? And do we have to match? Its becoming old hat And that man is a lesson
