Dark and dim
01:43

Here’s your heart and there’s division
When it’s resentment versus facts
Here are your skin, your eyes and your hand
Show your scars, you can’t be wrong
Love Love
You’re not the one to blame
Binary constructions
And class are set to fail
When you’re pushed to be wretched
You’re the one to feel
This body‘s yours and the rest is silence
Confined, phony and bound
|

Feeble peace
02:05
|
|||
|
Another night, another quarrel
Mean tongues and sweet discord
Whet the dagger to cut this mess apart
Stay with eyes wide open
Stay the fuck awake
What’s left for me?
I’m screaming at the top of my lungs
What’s left for you?
When the bones just cracked and the throat burned dry
We’re cornered, at bay
Time is slipping through our hands
Through the fingertips like sand
Stay with eyes wide shut
Don’t stay the fuck awake
|

Rat race
02:21
|
|||
|
Today mirrors yesterday
Makes tomorrow seem even more obscure
Lifelong prison stay
Sociophobia for the cure
Warm colors and heated rooms
can not dispel the cold
Nice words, inflated gestures
wear out, get old
And you drop your gaze
Just a shell without a trace of bliss
No winner’s podium
A corpse in a life-long rat race
Stuck in here
Feels worse than ever imagined
Never wanted to be involved in it
|

Reflection of self-hate
02:08
|
|||
|
Disgusting being
Is starring down on my body
No wonder you're undesirable
Reflection of self-hate
Can't stand the sight
Be gone – Smash – Broken glas
Precious shards may slit my fingers
But how to judge myself another day?
Last bites taken
It's almost midday
No more intake for today
Early morning
The scale is waiting up
Will the numbers have dropped?
Will I've done a good job?
|
||||

Passion
02:12
|
|||
|
I feel forced
Success, career, wife and kids
No chance with a CV that shit
I feel pushed
Just to get anywhere in life
This is dull! Will I sustain?
Where has my passion gone?
Where the fuck did it all go wrong?
Lost for so long
I feel weak
Getting somewhere feels so pointless
Even out of bed
I feel numb
Like I never used to be before
Where's the joy in what I do?
|

Twenty something
02:21
|
|||
|
Beat beat, the sound of the drum is playing the defeat
Twisted headlines dressed up as smoke signs put us all on solid ground
All these footsteps are wiped away with teargas
And all the threats are held and well detained
Walk these bricks of gold into hideout and retreat
Barriers and cordons make the city gleam
Watch out, blackout, custodians and mad kids
Are you scared when all reason is skipped?
Hiding in the spell mile, buried in the ditch
Nightsticks and backsights sound through the fog
Nightsticks and backsights and everything went black
Queue up in glee before you walk these streets at night into the dawn
|

Running out of time
01:46
|
|||
|
When it all came down to this I kept on walking
‘Til I was barefoot on concrete
I didn’t know how far my feet would take me
Until I reached that stack of bricks
We’re running out of time
Thousand steps away
from where we are supposed to be
Buried by the seconds that passed by
Bit my tongue, choked on the secrets to keep
In love, annoyed, forgotten
While all the ‘could-have-beens’ chased away
All the yesterdays
|
||||

Tender lies
03:01
|
|||
|
We’re never here, we’re never now
The air hangs heavy as time does anyway
My words are stuck behind my lips as yours are dust
No truth, no grit, we dodge
How false have we become?
We put our fake face on it
How far, how sly? At fault, lie after lie
How many times do we have to try?
No direction
But we pretend to know where to go
With telltale eyes there’s no use to even try
I owe you tender lies
Wrapped up in tender lies
There’s no use to even try
Fake smiles and hiding faces
Coward words and craven eyes
Won’t fix it this time
|
||||
9. |
Fake unity
02:33
|
|||
|
A safe haven without judgement
In a rural nightmare a glimmer of hope
Being different without fear
Building friendships
Sharing laughs, tears, booze and dope
Set up shows, followed our ideals
Took matters into our own hands
Lonely rebels standing together
Confronting and reviving a cultural wasteland
You didn’t practice what you preach
It was nothing but fake unity
Questioning political views was all it took
Not sharing your dogmas
To get casted out
Cut off
|
||||
10. |
Paper chase
02:43
|
|||
|
Some scars and actions faded on the way
These scratches will pale
If I’m bold enough to stay
Some words and pieces were lost on the way
Wake up, wake up
After all these steps you walked on ash
Get some rest
Phrases torn on concrete sheets
I will dwell to blurr the tracks
Blank pages, paper and pen
A salute and a farewell
I’ve been here too long now
I run to get some rest
These streets got me in a choke hold
The city’s got it’s teeth in my neck
|

11. |
No trust
01:58
|
|||
|
By your side just let me be
Can't describe how much you mean to me
My soul you took, my mind you rule
Your image stuck in my heart's core
Hard to think clearly that's for sure
Wouldn't want it any other way
But I can't trust you anymore
No trust
Let me give you pleasure, keep you awake
I'd do it all for your sake
The best is what you deserve
Crave for your infatuating kiss
There is no greater bliss
A feeling worth to be kept
|

Time of my life
02:10
|
|||
|
A lost youth – Stuck between broad acres
Boredom and hick tough guy troublemakers
Another weekend night and nothing to do
Let's get drunk in the park with the whole crew
I've lost the time of my life
And I never felt the same again
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Great conditions to get to know a girl from the scene
With the last bus leaving at 11:15
Rather slept at some perv's place
„There'll be no harm“
Took the chance just to get his dick rubbed on my arm
Fuck you
Set this dirt hole on fire
Let it burn to the ground
