Last Candle
03:49

|
Lacking of empathy, why there's addiction to please?
Doing things that shouldn't be done, still can't see what is wrong
Sands of time are burying me, I don't know where I should be
I don't know what to believe, still I cannot see free
Candle burns faster day by day
See the mask of sanity fading away
Burning under pressure till it's done
but not before the last ounce of joy is gone
Why rush and pressure define me? dark thoughts are haunting me
When did survival instincts turn into appraised state of mind?
Why sickness is spreading, becoming silently accepted?
Stop this madness before the destruction of humankind
For once in your life just stop and take a breath
You're more worth living than dancing with the death
You don't have to do everything, not be everywhere
You deserve your life, you can live it by yourself

Forsaken
03:28
|

|
Antisocial society
wants you to pull the strings
Thousands people
still you are alone
To be alone, forsaken
left alone heart broken
Nobody to call my own
Have to make it on my own
Everyday till I'm free
from nightmares let me be
Why it has to be me,
always to reach out thee?
Social circles
people you're supposed to know
Someone should care
still you're calling alone
Inner circles
more things you can't see clear
Before you know
you will feel like outsider

Misery Loves Company
04:04
|
|||
|
Another day, another fight, out in the wind and the rain
Strolling down the pavement papers blind my way
Sirens echo in the streets, car splashes my suit
Busses are running late, no taxis anywhere
Forgot my bag, lost my way, walking astray
Time flies and I'm running late
You can run but you can't hide
from the embrace of time
Bad news will outrun you
no matter what your trying to do
Your fairs aren't in order
Another hit under the belt
Walls are closing in
Misery loves company
Life kicks your head every way
Fuckups will pile up everyday
You tried to avoid the fuss now and then
Destiny will caught you just pick when
You try to roll the dice, pick the cards and
history will repeat itself but how often
Another day, another show at the theatre of life
Every hour another scene to start
You try to change your clothes, make up your mind
in this play every role is one of a kind
music is playing fast, try to make moment last
trying to find the stage I'm missing my cue

Self Doubt Club
04:14
|
|||
|
Mirror, mirror on the wall
who's worst enemy of them all
Sowing seeds of disbelief
self-esteem is giving in
Mirror, mirror on the wall
anxiety will make the call
Who am I to make the change?
I am just someone strange
Don't be your own worst enemy
Don't give in, don't give up
Don't listen to self doubt
Haters will hate you
no matter what will you do
your actions feed their fire
They give you shit anyway
it's not what you should do
it's what you're gonna do next
People will fuck with you
you got some things done
they only wish they could do
Too many times I've listen to
voices inside and around me
Mocking looks right at me
talking bad behind my back
Too many times I've hurt myself
thinking of people who don't give shit
In the end they're all like me
striving to make a difference
In the event I succeed
they're already there killing me
They can't stand what I've done
in their eyes I am gone
They'll hate and call me names
it's me who ruined their game
They should really work their shit
it's more easy to blame me

Unbreakable
04:20
|
|||
|
Everyday they try to turn me down
Everything is a new reason to hate me
I see my world in shades of grey
My days are painted with black colors
From the ashes I rise
To the sunset I ride
From the darkest night
to the brightest day
Survived from the fight
I have made my way
Awakened from nightmares
sleeping the sweet dreams
Leaving past behind
Unbreakable at last
I still remember the sadness and hate
I still remember the nothingness in between
There was a time when no one else left to die
in the mirror I saw: just me, myself, my enemy
I have seen the darkness of the lonely mind
I escaped the horrors of my own creation
I have climbed the stairs back up again
Reaching out to the light freedom in my mind

Selfish Or Not
04:48
|
|||
|
Selfish voices are whispering to me
Am I wrong or is it time to think
myself without other people's eyes?
Don't I deserve to think for myself?
Not a day goes by without a doubt
Time has come to stand up and shout
Truth is something you can bitch about
It doesn't remove the need to work out
I just wan't to live my own life
I just wan't to be free on my own
I just wan't to express my self
I don't want to feel guilt for myself
I see my betrayal in your eyes
Was it something else you had in mind?
I have tried to see your way
our worlds are colliding and drifting astray
Is this right for me to feel this way?
I'm not used to stand by my self
Don't feel bad you're stronger than me
There's still world outside our dreams
I've lived my life in the shadow of doubt
I thought it was selfish to want out
Out of the dark I will pave my way
tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day
Worlds are colliding every day
People will just need to find their way
We should be able to get along
We shouldn't feel guilt for ourselves

Art Of Solitude
05:26
|
|||
|
Grain of sand in nobody's land
You might be special one of kind
You try to convince me with your plan
and I will still keep my own mind
I need no one to say (what to do)
I can make my own way (how to live)
I'll bow to no one (like you)
I enjoy the art of solitude
I don't need you to like me (would you?)
I won't meet your expectations (could you?)
You have no power over me (because)
I enjoy the art of solitude
There was a time, when I let my mind
be guided by others, showing good time
Arisen from ruins, I was left to find
time of my life, I will make it mine
You cannot stand what you don't understand
I won't follow your selfish plans
You think you'll know what I want to do
(but the) truth is, I got nothing to do with you

Epicaricacy
04:49
|
|||
|
Life treats you bad everyday, every way
People find their joy where ever they can
There's something under the surface
that makes the people act like they do
Do you believe happiness is meant for all?
Do some people just enjoy when others fall?
Epicaricacy will fill the void of success
Reinforce self-esteem of the stronger ones
Can't you do without fortune and the fame?
Taken down from limelight of the life
One is broken without a right to wrong
Everyone seems to do better than you
Jealousy rises its head over these
lost dreams that were meant to be true
Don't envy lost souls that were like you once
Other people aren't the problem fix yourself
Don't seek your fortune out of others misery
Enjoy the life don't paint it all black
People see only what they want to see
some might take a step back and find out
It was the same picture all along
See how far you have gone
Look at you, what will your actions turn you to
Do you like the person who you have become?

Cult Of Humanity
03:59
|
|||
|
What is humane, bearer of pain?
Greed for honour rush through your veins
You cry out, rage and shout
Agony fuelled by self frustration
What will remain when there's nothing to gain?
After gambling through the game of life
Cult Of Humanity, with hint of insanity
more than just empty talks of compassion and love?
No matter how you try, no matter where you hide
you are still one of us
Skills are in the eyes of beholder
Your life is a performance, you want your accomplishments
You won't settle for less before you drop dead
Is this still humane when your soul cries in pain?
See the lost memories of things you used to enjoy
Break down and cry like your life is nothing but lies
Cult Of Humanity, what are you offering me?
pain and delusion, with no conclusion
I want out, nothing to do with you
you're just causing me pain and misery
Cult Of Humanity, with hint of insanity
More than just empty talks of compassion and love?
No matter how you try, where you hide
you are still one of us

Hypocrite
03:08
|
|||
|
You always want to be on the winning side
You want to control my mind with yours
Playing games against my will
Until you win, time stands still
Dance of the hypocrites,
dance of the fools
You party everywhere
bending the rules
"You do what I say"
doesn't work the other way
I'm the last to choose
otherwise you say "you lose"
You don't treat others as yourself
You don't love your fellows as yourself

Olli Kivelä Finland
I'm a metalhead who likes fast tempo, heavy riffs, epic orchestrations and a nice balance of clean and growling vocals. In
most of areas I'm self-taught. I'm also a DIY enthusiastic. I like to make my gear myself and I like to compose, arrange, play, sing, produce, record, mix, and master all my music myself.
You can find me also in Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube.
