I was trying not to drown in the sea of all my grief,
I was trying not to burn in the fire of my sin,
And I’ll try not to break, not to sink.
All the words that we said, all the silly things I did,
All the streets where we laid in the corners of my dreams,
But it’s all made of castles in the sand,
‘Cause it’s you who I care for, where are you?
I was trying not to fall for the feelings locked inside,
But the time, it was real, and it was your turn to dream,
But you’re not ready now, don’t feel mean.
‘Cause you’re not ready now, I’ll be here.
But who said love, love was easy?
Who said love was so kind?
Who said “No, it’s too risky”?
Who said love was not a crime? But it won’t mean a thing if my heaven wouldn’t cry,
But who said ti is not worth it trying to fight?
You are there, I do care, with those shining lovely eyes,
In your heart I can see, feelings trying out to cry.
But the walls of your mind may rise up,
And you will be able to throw those walls down.
Because love is not easy,
Because love is not so kind,
Because love is too risky,
Because love’s much of a crime.
But it will mean something if we cross this land alive,
We will laugh against our fate ‘cause we survived.
Whoa! Whoa!
But it will mean something if this waiting makes me cry,
So who’ll say it is not worth it trying to fight!
And I still won’t let you break down, don't give up,
I won’t let you down but try make you smile!

Years after starting songwriting sometime around 2003, London-based rock artist ZAKK became aware of the evolution his
songs, which craved to be heard.
That’s the spark that ignites his debut album, Story of a Restless Mind, a firm declaration of intentions to bring those years of experience, a solid classical training and a vast knowledge of genres through his unique vision and talent....more
