1.	Fast As Light 04:06	lyrics	buy track
Catch the wave, Your love is fading You turn me on But I can't sleep In this dark room While you watch me We've been involved me In a fist fight So I try to hit you But you're fast as light So I begin to lose control Your statement lacks of sense My luck begins to roll I hate you no offence You tried all kinds of job I tried to help you out Now you look just like a slob Looking for an easy way out You seek for money I seek for someone, dear This is the second round I've got nothing to fear It's like 10 years ago You can't understand That somehow you lost the sight And the eye of your mind You seeked for knowledge I seeked for something real Misshapes all around The only things I could feel My dear
2.	Tuition 03:31	lyrics	buy track
Agitation Your frustation They've lost ther faith in Communication You are lost In the woods You've been running For your good From the distance You hear a laughter And so you wonder What wil come after? Yeah you wonder What will come after What if there is There is no after? You're guilty and alone Freezing to the bone You're guilty and alone Freezing to the bone Your innocence is gone You just wanna go home Agitation And your frustration Your only comrades For this tuition I didn't ask For this tuition I don't deserve This tuition I keep running from this horrible creation I keep running from His most painful invention Can't escape from this tragic situation Can't escape from this tragic situation You just wanna go home But there's no way back home Because everything's gone You scream and shout But you're still here You've found out now You've been dead for years This dimension Is made of layers And you are crushed Under the heavier
3.	People Like Us 04:01	lyrics	buy track
We are going nowhere Young people they are going nowhere Everything seems so slow Time doesn't seem to flow And I don't want to follow All the people who are still here I'm gonna pack my stuff And get a train to somewhere anywhere People like us Find it easy To get called by everyone Weird ones, strange ones So I'll go, I've had enough I'm gonna stay awake all night long I'm gonna run and jump And maybe I'll carry on Maybe I'll carry on And if you don't agree with what my eyes see I guess've wasted my time With you, cos I'm true People like us find it hard To be satisfacted in their hometown But I'm okay with this I wasn't even planning to stay
4.	This Way 02:48	lyrics	buy track
You keep eating your feelings away You keep stressing yourself everyday I'm going through what you call yesterday Even though it isn't ending this way You keep stabbing yourself in the head You keep running when the lights are red I will not stay here and watch you go by So much to do and anyway time flies I fall asleep and I wake up somewhere else You shot my legs so I won't go away I'm half dead in a body I don't feel I'll wait for you but I don't know where to stay

about

My debut EP: four tracks, recorded between August and September 2016.
The goal of this project is to bring back to life those cold and dark sounds from the 80s inspired by the darkwave and postpunk movement. Mario and I have been working hard to give You the illusion of listening to a record from that time, so we hope that You'll enjoy our creation.

First of all I would like to thank Mario for giving me this great opportunity (and big help) and for all the things he taught me, he's a very skilled producer and sound engineer.
I would also like to thank Robb for the artwork (but mostly for her support, she's always been there for me even during my worst days), and my friends and bandmates such as Frederick, Buck and Bepis (aka Kirksphere) for contributing in my both musical and personal growth and and giving me opinions and advices on my early works.
A big thank you also to my other friends and loved ones who supported me, such as Maurizio (MEMES), Ilaria, Simone and last, but not least, my family.
All the people I named now, from the first to the last, are those who can be called "People Like Us".
