1.Alina
by Costin Tuculescu
I saw her face,
she smiles at me,
what sign or meaning could this be？
I take her by the hand but she says no.
I can't resist,
I must steal a kiss,
tomorrow she's gone and will be missed.
Guess I'll just wait, for her.
A sign of mine, she knows I'm hers,
but her smile still leaves me puzzled,
when I walk by my eyes meet her's
and I still don't know what this all means.
My heartbeat races,
there's so many faces,
but her face won't leave my mind,
I try to see her, but she won't show.
Understanding that time is short,
and I want more than her retorts,
this time, I just don't think I'll win.
Someday,I will see her again,
and when that day comes,
I will know, what to do,
cuz I don't want it,
to end this way....again!
2.Enslaved
by Costin Tuculescu
She thinks she lives in a world,
where she doesn't belong,
she thinks she's found herself,
falling down far.
And all the time she spends,
the further she depends,
and life's children,
are falling down her hands.
But life's passing by too quick,
and her fears are to precious for her to speak,
so she hides herself,
so she hides herself,
Now there's noone alone...
When she goes away,
she goes way too far,
when she's at home,
she's never around.
And all this time,
I just want to say,
'I want you back,
I want you back.'
So beautiful,
when you know you can't but you try to see,
So beautiful,
when you can't forgive but you know you'll try.
Try to see if you can,
try to see if you can,
try to see if you can,
you know you'll find yourself run away,
you know you can't so just back off right now!
Try to open up,
for the rest of the world!
3.Forever Stars Apart
by Costin Tuculescu and Benjamin Ackerman
Whats this bliss that takes me when i kiss you？
Will it take us away？
When i walk near you i close my eyes.
Wondering what to say...
And then i wonder：
Will you be there？ or will you run away？
And then i wonder：
Can you see this？ or do i have to say
That im the sun, and you're the moon-forever stars apart
Im the sun, and you're the moon--
forever out of touch, forever out of tune...
So take me with you when you go away
Tommorow never comes again.
So choose your diction, but forget goodbyes
And maybe this wont be the end!
And as I've heard it all before
but I never really thought
that I would think about you
when my heart's turned all black.
So we stand together now,
and our hands are turned to fists,
I don't want to fight,
but feelings I can't speak.
So glances we occasionally take,
my heart's more scarred the yours,
and how much I wish,
I could trade my place with YOU!
4.Left Of Me
by Benjamin Ackerman
So now here we stand, so much farther than I ever thought we'd
get to
Did I scare you？
So now here I stand with my heart in my hand,
Wondering how we got here
Hey! all I ever wanted is gone,
All I ever said to you is gone,
All I ever gave to you is gone,
Just look around and you will see there is so much more left to
me
So now here we stand, looking back on all we said,
Words are like the needles- stabbed by the volumes I've read
So now look at my heart, bruised and battered, twisted and lame,
But you would say that I had it all my way
So now here we stand so much farther apart than I ever thought
we'd get
to
I see myself, I wish I could call my name and save myself from
that
shame.
5.Let Me Be
by Benjamin Ackerman
I'm better than you, and I know you well
evictedfrom life, sent straight to hell
they drained your blood and erased your name
removed your soul and forgot your fame
ask yourself, who you know
measure yourself by your soul
I never thought it'd come to this
I never thought see you hear
I never thought I'd be controlled by someone else's fears
For all I've ever wanted
For all I've ever said
mistaken forever, memories left for dead
Bleed me now and praise me later
positioned in a hierarchy through someone else's labour
psychopathic dreams of truths and lies
permeate my soul and sting my eyes
All we need is somebody
to remove these shackles and set us free
All I need is somebody
to soothe my soul and let me be
6.Lost Inside You
by Costin Tuculescu
Do I wear a face that smiles too much？
Is my voice just an empty call？
Do I seem like I'm to cold to touch-
Do you think that if I held you I'd let you fall？!
Is my tone of question way to harsh-
Is my fist all that stands out-
In a dreary face I stand up straight,
and I wonder what I've found!
All I see is tomorrow,
Before I can say goodbye.
All the pleasure in the world deny me,
Like I'm denied to be.
I sent a heart with strawberry kisses,
to my luscious valentine.
A fiery shade becomes her shadow,
and I spit on her remains!
I taste the bitter flavor of roses,
despite their color so sweet,
thorned stems impale the wonderer,
and blood gushes all over me.
7.Luna De Amor
by Benjamin Ackerman
I step from off my cloud, and take my tophat off
I wonder where you are, as I wish upon a star
and as I gaze into your eyes,
can you see that I'm surprised？
I grab my mask as we leave the door
with haste, we depart
your attention I need to hold, as the calendar grows old
and as we enter the doors open wide,
and your eyes they come alive
if you keep doing what you do....
I could fall for you
The heat, it holds us down as we dance upon the floor
as we leave the night is still young, because neither one of
us is
done
and as I take off my mask,
on my knees I'm down to ask：
could you keep doing what you do？
I think I fell for you
8.Moral Dillemma
by Costin Tuculescu
Her innoncence she wears
like a scarlet letter around her neck.
So heavy is the burden
of saving her soul from their mistakes.
Her eyes see only goodness
in a world corrupt with filth.
Why must I be the one to bear
the grief that so many other relieve.
If only it was so simple,
If only no one ever got hurt,
If the actions lacked the consequence,
I would've done it all before.
She taunts me to corrupt her soul
and everyday I refuse.
But the weight she bears is growing strong
and I fear that I will lose.
But Its not I who loses,
for I have seen and done much more.
If only she would realize,
its her innocence I adore.
9.Noone But Yourself
by Costin Tuculescu
Scratches on the blackboard.
Laughing at the Pain.
Nothing is Eternal,
but the sun will shine and the moon will fall.
A bruise on your forehead,
imposes on your thoughts,
nothing is Eternal,
but the sun will shine and the moon will fall.
Take me down, so high,
and we'll embrace the sky.
Take me down, so hign,
and you will learn to fly.
If you can count your friends,
on your five fingers,
then you, my friend are better than I!
10.Obsessed
by Benjamin Ackerman and Costin Tuculescu
Why do you invade my sleep？
My soul lies here restless.
My heart you keep,
Now I can't forget us.
Now I wake alone again,
and my heart I need to mend,
cuz you've taken it again!
Night after night you visit me.
You pleasure me, you torment me.
In all my dreams I dream of you,
it can't be true, so don't wake me!
Love you forever.
Love you forever.
Hate you forever.
Miss you forever.
In all my dreams I give to you,
gold leafed wings of unknown truths.
Haunting memories of things left unsaid,
untouched feeling forgotten and dead.
Vivid images smiling red...
Forsaken love that was all in my head!!
11.Pink
by Benjamin Ackerman
conversations on the phone, but I don't wanna talk anymore
you think you know me, but know I'm not so sure
these magic spells have broken free, now all that's left is
you and
me
i thought i knew you, but now I'm not so sure
and out of the blew I'm blew again
and all i know is who i am
and all i want is to know who to call my friend
the only one I'd ever love, now i think i felt too much
conflicts building up inside my mind
i wish your life was trouble free, i wish your life was life
with me
i don't dare leave you behind
your life- i wish i could set you free
set you free from all the pain i see
what's hurting you is killing me
i wish that you could see
12.See If We Can Make It
by Costin Tuculescu
Standing in the mirror,
another day goes by,
another day grows nearer,
another says goodbye.
The mind has no replacement,
there's a new one every day,
the battle for understanding,
can fizzle away.
When you're up, when you're down,
where do you go, what do you see？
When you're up, when you're down,
where do you go, what do you do？
Two weeks gone by,
and where we stand today？
I don't know where we're heading,
I just want you to stay!
But why do you leave,
why do you have to go,
when all you're doing,
is raping my soul!
Take my hand again and we'll see if we can make it.
Take my hand again and we'll see if we can find it.
Those you love will never fade away.
Those you love will always fade away.
13.The Prince, The Frog, And The Witch In Disguise
by Costin Tuculescu
All the fairies you see,
All the princes that be
a frog in disquise,
a dream with shut eyes.
Hopeless is she,
without dreams she be,
they've all left her homeless,
they've all let her cry her eyes out,
her eyes out, her eyes...
So won't you--
please show some compassion,
to those lost who've lost their way home...
to those lost in the dark.
Holes in the road,
forks in the path,
whatever the cause,
please don't turn your back.
All the people that are lost
belong somewhere,
in someone's arms, in someone's care.
So don't turn a cold shoulder,
don't turn your eyes away,
you are forever closer,
than you wish you could remain.
14.Throwing Kisses
by Costin Tuculescu
So few were the days,
when I smelled your hair,
when I touched your skin.
If I could take it all back,
I'd miss it all but you.
But now, the world divides us at our hearts...
somehow...we'll find a way to break the chains!
If I knew back then,
how much I miss you now.
I would have held my breath,
for every scream and shout.
Throw me a kiss and I'll send one back,
since you've been missing its you I lack,
all my roses have turned blue,
but I'll turn it all back for you!
15.Tired
by Costin Tuculescu
Livin in the shadow cast,
by the shadow which prevails,
and soon he dissapears.
Like the ashes of a glorious fire,
burnt to a carbon heart,
he stands there like a trophy unmarked.
And there I saw him,
naked was his soul...
I wanna be him,
once before I go.
He takes a step back and takes a glance,
but the days he sees lack romance, lack the values and the
virtues he seeks.
Twists his head and he breaks his neck,
life has fallen in a wreck, take me away before I break.
But don't give up,
don't give in,
Life's just about to begin.
