remorse
I throw it back on the ground
just to see if you pick it up for me
and let me throw again
you´re smiling with dignity
even though your affection is not returned by me
now i´m feelin ashamed
i can´t call it off
but i´m tryin to better myself
so i swear that i will never forget
the sweet embraces that i didn´t expect
and i know that you´ll never regret
all the mistakes that i made instead
No goals
you gave me hold when i had nothing at all
you define me
i won´t pretend to be cured
i´m gonna try to make the most of my life
i get up and check the facilities
forget all these wasted opportunities
this is not the last chance
i got you on my back
and i´m willing to never look back
at my once ugly face again

Choice of ends

don´t you wish to fall in oblivion ?
we´ll make sure that you never will
you´ll never be forsaken
we are the relentless avengers
that won´t get off your back
so there´s no chance to flee
matter of urgency
your stooges define down your purpose
blind trust is what they chose
it´s never easy to hold off your demise
but that only shows
we´re still alive

From this day on
02:40
|

From this day on, we´re gonna rise
destroy the walls, to stay alive
just break it down, brick by brick
and if you think there´s no reason why
just take a look around, and then i´ll show you how
you get a view out of the cage
whenever you´re clever enough
to notice they´re all in with a bluff
you gotta change your course
it can´t get much worse
and you´ll be the last who laughs
the consequence is a life that´s rough
you gotta be strong and tough
in the end you´ll see
that you´ll get free
on a trip with no climb down
to the point of no return
but the price you pay
is less than what you earn

The four eyes principle
02:08

we made this life worth living
couldn´t be stopped at any time
you told me that the seed is planted
but now we´re losing sight
where are we now ?
and where will we go ?
will i keep on fighting
a fight i can´t win ?
So don´t take everything for granted that i never said or did
there´s no need to look surprised
i rise
chasing the best of our times
where is your aim ?
what´s that you gain ?
How can you assert that i want the same
i guess you never knew
and now i´m askin` you
where are we now ?
Where will we go ?
i´m not the traitor

Birds of a feather

We shared our fortune a long time
we slept while you were at the wheel
in countless odysseys
More than a pleasant company
we grew like brothers in defeat
in absence of cliches
this is the best of all bad times
this is the final stage to dive
we wanna laugh but start to cry
but you´ll be never out of sight
and everything you left behind
what about sunrise
what about rain
refuse to stay sober
and list your sins
celebrate no bitter end
we´re thinkin about the good old times
but soon we recognize
that you and us will never die

Trip down memory lane
02:50
|
|
||
|
what once attracted attention
cannot stain the shades of grey
the last impressing moment
is more than far away
there´s no will to change
he doesn´t really want to take the risk to stray
lost all ambition
and waits for better days
on the pictures is settled dust
and the trophies lightly rust
he´s waiting for the phone to ring
he never wanted to be the second string
there was so much to come (in his life)
now he is all alone
everything was calm and warm
now he´s chilled to the bone
commited to the glorious past
he´s rotting fast
mindtrapped in yesterday
nobody takes his doubts away
he never learned to change the lane
now he´s gone chronically insane
only the memorys will last
the addiction to monotony
is what keeps him alive
he´s searching blindfolded for the key
that will unchain his heart
and light the dark

Better off than dead
01:58
|
|

You made it all work right
you said it lasts a thousand times from now
but i will not forget
the thousand times before
you fear that i come clean
you act so abnormally ambitious
but you´re plan will only work
without me
And so we´re better off than dead
reclaim the silence
not anymore
it´s all been said before
do not accuse me false modesty
i´m preferring to be save
than depraved
and so we´re better off than dead
reclaim the silence
raving mad
i will not follow you on demand
it´s such a lonely place
where you stand

First day alive
03:15
|
|
||
|
i used to run so fast
that i forgot the ones that i passed by
but never reached my goal in time
my friend
so i decided that it´s better to stop by
and lay myself down for a while
this system never fails
for those who run headless
i touch the ground on which i stand
make sure that i´m alive
and watch the rushing crowd that slowly dies inside
on my first day alive
i used to carry things around
now i put things in order
i was stuck in this dark kingdom
now i may have reached the border

„it’s almost impossible to look into your head and right now it seems even harder, cause you got your brandnew sunglasses on. moments have passed, the question is still unasked and you have already left.“

Topical state of mind
03:19
|
|
||
|
i´ve lost my passion
to quest the stars
i felt affected
and all worn out
i quitted being loud
the pain it didn´t grow
but it became so constant
my heart kept beating on
but i didn´t really care
i´m not illuminated
in any sense of the word
but i´ll never be able
to sedate myself
i´ll always have a point of view
if this is getting old
then i´ll fight to be young at heart
the childish ways i walk
will always make sense to me
i prefer to die in glory days
then live a life that´s billable
i´ll never question my standards ... again
never
nothing i would change
i´m holding on
and move along
even though i´ll never have time
to enjoy the advantages in life
when others will never have access to mine
