The whole world’s made of contradictions and endless circles of events. In building bridges with one person, you break connections with another. Advise others how to live their life, although your best solution is to fly away as far as possible. Risking something, going back to the beginning, but then asked to stop. This doesn’t break, try or not. This is circular motion. This is roundabout.

Bridges

Your gorgeous hair in slow motion
Eyes the color of the ocean
Want to see them as fast as I can
That’s why I try to build a bridge
To quickly hear your perfect pitch
But it seems to me I’m not succeeding
That bridge that I have built
Can’t stand a minimum load
I know that is my guilt
But I can’t be slow
And every night I have a dream
That I already finished the seam
But 5 AM and I wake up in a cold sweat
I think even if I to get to you
All our dreams will not come true
Tell me please, have you missed me too?
That bridge that I have built
Can’t stand a minimum load
I know that is my guilt
But I can’t be slow
Tower bridge, Golden Gate, Brooklyn bridge. They and many others were built to connect people. Bridges are one of the first things built in a city and the first thing that is destroyed. Doesn't matter who you are and where are you from, we must try to build bridges as much as possible. And try not to destroy them as little as possible.

Handing Out (Glasses)

Gold chain on your pretty neck
Favorite role is backseat driver
All decisions are father’s check
Revert the eyes from every eyesore
Events surround and you don’t care
Visit another trendy place
Hide yourself in the bulky snood
In danger open a glasses case
Your favorite activity
Is handing out some advice
Although your best solution
Is to put on rose-colored glasses
So, do me a favor
If you don’t do it – walk away
Don’t tell me: when life gives you lemons
You must make lemonade
Empty bottle on a wood floor
In your life, you are wasted
Leaving through the swinging door
A man but not a faceless
Your best friend is a dutch uncle
Lands face down like toast with butter
For a good mood needs a bottle of bubbles
In danger open a glass cupboard
Your favorite activity
Is handing out some advice
Although your best solution
Is to fill old-fashion glasses
So, do me a favor
If you don’t do it – walk away
Don’t tell me: when life gives you lemons
You must make lemonade

Black Box

Now I’m alone and surrounded by planets
All my things are packed in a backpack
It was easy to do
All my way bridges were burned
Now I want to break all taboos
I fly away to the edge of the galaxy
As far away from here as possible
Do not make this case a tragedy
Today I’m absolutely emogical
Now I ‘m alone and surrounded by planets
and dead major Tom is my company
Leaving people was my habit
But now I'm completely in misery
Now I ‘m alone and surrounded by planets
I thought that all those people I didn’t need
But I would rather be broken into atoms
Then again I follow this creed
Then again I follow this creed
Then again I follow
Stars explode and die
Waves crash on the rocks
Later I will be fine
But better check the black box

Apples

The rules by which you play
The clothes that you were
The things that you say
The hairstyle you have
The perfume that you use
The smile when you’re glad
Your cheeks when you’re confused
Makes me go mad
But despite this
Let’s go to square one
Please, do not forget
My safe-word is “apples”
My safe-word is “apples”
Please, do not forget
My safe-word is “apples”
My safe-word is “apples”
Stone face when I joke with you
The way you dance when drunk
When you cook cream soup
When you rage — you’re the hulk
Your selfie on my phone
The mess at your small flat
Your mood’s like a cyclone
Makes me go mad
But despite this
Let’s go to square one
Please, do not forget
My safe-word is “apples”
My safe-word is “apples”
I roll down to your waist
To meet tomorrow morning
To smell mint toothpaste
And nothing else to worry us
But I know that it is fleeting
We should ignore this meeting
Please say this word
