1.	Magical cynical (single edition) 03:54	lyrics	download
Morning breaks in the warmest place Always luck choose the opposite lane But we are rather Ok The more that we try is the more that we find we can't get inside We don't give it up as the sun is still high You may think is silly I hope you feel fine that magical cynical way Though everything flows I swear We will prevail I've done enough, now please put your arms down Let me go home and I'll lend you my crown Till the end of time It all will be great It all will be great As I wait you smiling from a silvery old fashioned frame You may think it's silly I'm sure you still smile that magical cynical way Though everything flows yes I swear they'll fade away Oh dear, Oh dear Oh! I'll be so kind I'll show I'll be so kind I'll show
2.	You and I (alternate version) 04:58	lyrics	download
Well, I smile for you and I would feel alone on the top of the world and anytime,anywhere would feel the same Now I wonder Am I at the beggining or the very end of anytime, anywhere I know That midnight stroke was only a joke, Just to make me laugh Yes I did laugh so much Now please smile for you know you and I would feel alone on the top of the world Your midnight breeze passed me by It was so cool… I could hit you so strongly… No I wouldn’t do you harm And I’d wake up with no stone in my heart So grab my hands Grab my hands and pray “Oh blood don’t spread, Please run through me again” You know I could breathe happily into a suitcase But you know It would be better if you turned the light on I know you were only trying to look be kind Please let my heart start beating again, and again But actually I know I should not care that much for I'm sure you could easily undo it again and again How long will you treat me this way

4.	A long hereafter (alternate mix) 04:52	lyrics	download
A LONG HEREAFTER I might have been haunted by the moon To get glum But nothing could make me bring down my brightest song Though I’d loved before several times Had I know I’d be awaiting so long just to wish you a long hereafter on your own I wouldn’t have been so kind On your own Feels like I’ve been always watching you Well I don’t But I caress you from time to time when you are off guard I’ve found calm before a couple of times But it’s so sad it won’t take me so long. Would you wish me a long hereafter on my own? I shouldn’t have been so kind On my own And it all feels so smooth ,once it’s far gone On my own There is no need to go nowhere On my own But nothing would keep me ‘round To unfold you out To pull that gloom out of your eyes To soothe you down We are on our own Someone watching Late at home Maybe all those sparkling sounds will sigh for good
