The Unbearable Heaviness Of The Heart
Verse:
painful awakenings
sentenced to daily jobs
unspoken words
can leave some bleeding scars
bad chosen words
can tear a soul apart
to be ignored
that is the hardest part
it’s not so hard to do it
it’s hard to think you must
it’s not so hard to know it
it/s hard to find it out
living ain’t surviving
Chorus:
i never meant to be a 24/7 hero
to sacrifice my life and then get back to zero
i used to get up with a dream
not anymore.
the unbearable heaviness of the heart
Verse:
rewind repeat
the daily spinning wheel
how does it feel
to break this chain of steel
you’d better stop
the rat race can’t be won
i am much more
than a gearwheel full of rust
it’s not so hard to do it
it’s hard to think you must
it’s not so hard to know it
it/s hard to find it out
living ain’t surviving
Chorus:
i never meant to be a 24/7 hero
to sacrifice my life and then get back to zero
i used to get up with a dream
not anymore.
the unbearable heaviness of the heart
Bridge:
once i couldn’t sleep, and you were by my side, you said:
‘don’t care about the rat race, leave everything behind’
so i got back to focus, i’ve never been so wise
it is just me and you alone, a husband and a wife
Chorus:
i never meant to be a 24/7 hero
to sacrifice my life and then get back to zero
i used to get up with a dream
not anymore.
The dream is real
The dream is you
We will never feel apart
The unbearable heaviness of the heart

Foolish
Verse
I walked against the tide for my whole life
a ray of hope was driving me away
watching everything in black or white
but never brave enough to jump and fly
Sometimes i ask myself why i’m complaining
when i’m awake in the middle of the night
and then i realize i’m not frustraded
I feel the suit i wear is just too tight
Chorus:
hey I must be foolish
to leave all certainties behind
to find a new changeable life
I opened my eyes and looked around
I’ ve been so blind, i didn’t see
the pain the grief the misery
but i will not let life be the grave
of all my hopes of what it is worth living for
when disillusion's growing on
I just close my eyes, keep dreaming on
never surrender fight a never ending war
i’m like a blind man trying to look without his eyes
Verse:
no longer i’ll be brought into line
leveled uniformed and standardized
stop trading life and time for filthy money
a new design of life dear friends of mine
Sometimes i ask myself why i’m complaining
when i’m awake in the middle of the night
and then i realize i’m not frustraded
I feel the suit i wear is just too tight
Chorus:
hey I must be foolish
to leave all certainties behind
to find a new changeable life
I opened my eyes and looked around
I’ ve been so blind, i didn’t see
the pain the grief the misery
but i will not let life be the grave
of all my hopes of what it is worth living for
when disillusion's growing on
I just close my eyes, keep dreaming on
never surrender fight a never ending war
i’m like a blind man trying to look without his eyes

Unexpected Destiny
Verse:
grown between the storms
thunders from above
kept on haunting me during my youth
frantic and alone
falling on the floor
7 years ago before i met you
on the path of self-destruction,
fighting hard to change direction
life was really getting out of fuel
a blinding ray of light
you could make me fly
another kiss, a gift to feel alive
Chorus:
A wall of pain was broken down, i cried
shadows blown away by the blue sky
a star is born when our eyes react with chemistry
unexpected destiny
Verse:
i walked on through the years
forgetting all the fears
echoes of those tears fading away
pretending to be strong
until i felt i was dead wrong
too confident that fate was on my side
losing you stabbed me in the back
I never thought i could feel so bad
i’m starving since the day you went away
you were my ray of light
you could make me fly
i need another kiss to come alive
Chorus:
A wall of pain was broken down, i cried
shadows blown away by the blue sky
a star is born when our eyes react with chemistry
unexpected destiny

Day by Day
Verse:
walking on the way
meeting you that day, what a luck!
my soul was incomplete
my pulse down to the beat for love
You made of me a brave man, I went on through the flames of hell
until I got you hand in hand, and i was under your spell
Chorus:
oh baby, run to me
running on the road of life
i'm calling, follow me
follow me every time
walking in the same direction
building great connection
day by day
magic is when never
turns into forever
day by day
Verse:
stumbling on your way
even where the road is paved
arguments and fights
many sleepless nights, then love
you moved away and came back, a phoenix after the wrack
if I should live another day, I’ll pray the Lord to make you stay.
Chorus:
oh baby, run to me
running on the road of life
i'm calling, follow me
follow me every time
walking in the same direction
building great connection
day by day
magic is when never
turns into forever
day by day

Read It In My Eyes
Verse
I walked with a wounded heart
until i met you eyes
really stunning piece of art
angel in disguise
we were feeling so small
looking up above
shaking trees were standing tall
drawing in the sky
I stood right behind your door
I waited for so long
my heart was stomping on the floor
as I denied my love
Silent and red-faced
lying to myself
hurting you when we embraced
and then living with regret
your smile was so evil
your eyes sent me to eden
i should have kissed you on your lips
i should have cried out
Chorus:
how many feelings left unexplained
how many words i should have said to you that day
how many tears i made you cry
until i realized, that you love me,
and i feel so guilty you can read it in my eyes
Verse:
I left, without looking back
although i heard you cry
a heavy heart in my backpack
you couldn’t hear me sigh
in good times we will meet again
if that’s our destiny
a cosmic magnetism
drawing you to me
your hands over your ears
your eyes flooded by tears
i should have kissed you on your lips
we should have cried out
Chorus:
how many feelings left unexplained
how many words i should have said to you that day
how many tears i made you cry
until i realized, that you love me,
and i feel so guilty you can read it in my eyes
Bridge:
we could have burnt it all in just that night
but waiting couldn’t help us but ignite
now that you are with me just listen
every unspoken word glitters like gold
Chorus:
how many feelings left unexplained
how many words i should have said to you that day
how many tears i made you cry
until i realized, that you love me,
and i feel so guilty you can read it in my eyes

Highspeeddirt Milano, Italy
Formed in 2001, after years playing live covers of the biggest hard rock bands, we finally started recording own
songs.
'Playing Hard', was published 2012.
After 4 years, 3 marriages and a total of 7 sons from the 4 band members, our passion for music made us win laziness and find the time to write and record our new EP. Definitely more fecund than musically prolific ;-) But we don’t give up!
