The city walls blaze
Fire like the sun
I can't believe my eyes
Watch the towers fade away
And where do I fit in
Do I walk or strut
When will I find another part of you to walk upon
And even though my heart is failing
I still walk, patiently waiting for an answer
The city I love is not the heart of my home
And I don't know if I'll be there to catch you when you fall
Neon in the dark
Like a beacon, like a spark that night
In the light, in the light
In the light, in the light
I turn my callous eyes to the balance of the skyline
Black night, cityscape
Live the dream and never wake up
Dark eyes, bitter taste
You should know better than to
Fight (out), cry (out), for pity's sake
Let me burn another way
Take me by the neck and watch me
Fall right out of grace
Watch me stumble, watch me break tonight
The dreams that you have left
On the streets that I have slept come to life
You should know better than to try
Try
The city I love is not the heart of my home
And I don't know if I'll be there to catch you when you fall
Finally admit that it's you who lights my city tonight
I finally admit that it's you who lights my city tonight
Music and lyrics: Andre DiMuzio and Stefan K

Mona Lisa

Some kind of dream
And doesn’t it seem
That life can make a new turn
It’s been so long of
Trying to be strong
And I am finally ready to learn
Stand closer now
You don’t have to know how
Can you picture anything better than this
I’ve never known someone
Quite like you before
And I could stay forever picturing this
Hey Mona Lisa smile at me
Is there something that you’re hiding from
The world and me
Hey Mona Lisa what’s your game
When our worlds collide and shatter
Again and again
I’m sorry for this but sorry’s not enough
I need to know this before our time is up
We can’t ignore this although it isn’t love
Ah please, my lady, don’t fade away
What do you say to running away
Deny what everyone’s asking of you
I’ll meet you there
Just let them all stare
And I can finally lose myself in you

Your Perfect World

Start it up, the engine fire
Yes, I remember when you said you doubted me
The shawl of evening closes fast
On shoulders, slowly reaches and
Surrounds me
Sometimes, at the brink of night
I feel like I know you think of me
In your perfect world
Do you want my words?
Do you want my thoughts?
Do you want my love?
Industry and compliment
A universe of damages will ground me
It's only when you look at me
The nervous hand, the timid air around me
And sometimes
When my mind ignites
I am mesmerized and try to picture you
Do you wish me to?
Do you want my words?
Do you want my thoughts?
Does he want my love?
Does he want my love?
Sometimes.
Sometimes.
