I’m always late
When it comes to finish something
I get stuck and do just nothing
That’s my jam
I keep screwing around
Enough with the distractions
I have to hit my stride
And end this lullaby
Something you will remember
Nothing left as placeholder
Something you will remember
Nothing left as placeholder
Now I’m on time
I’ve never been afraid of anything
And somehow I like it challenging
You know
I just cared way too much
But now this time is done

Lonely Boy
03:11
|
|||
|
We all tried to give him a cheer
Yet he seems to struggle with his old fears
And the girl is gone
Another night to kill the time alone
And the lonely boy is waiting for a sign
A glance might just be enough for tonight
And the lonely boy is maybe a bit blind
He levitates but cannot see above
He wonders what makes it so hard
He's not asking for the moon and the stars
Just one time please
A single night to spend the time as one
And the lonely boy is waiting for a sign
A trigger to make all his walls collapse
And the lonely boy is maybe a bit blind
He gravitates around the wheel of love

Don't Stop Running
02:35
|

|
It seems so appealing
Fits for your self esteem
A thousand faces waiting for
Your approval is their goal
This gent is looking very funny
Kitty puking on his sequined coat
So you drive and you meet and you dance and you kiss
Tonight is fine tomorrow you'll be strangers again
Don't stop running
And fill this void
Repeated game each time the same
But still nowhere you can stay
Don't stop running
And chase this dream
The never-ending quest for perfect match leading to a fail
It's a pain in you that keeps growing
The more you kiss the more you miss the less you try to resist
Losing count of all the baits you bit
So many disposable people all at your disposal
On the decline
But your expectations keep getting high
Once you get one
You can't help getting it on the line
Feeling the need
Reinvestigating
Cry for the king
Before his beheading
No one stands a chance in your hands
The wounds left unhealed on your heart are bleeding
The patch you put on is so soaked with your tears
Don't stop running
And fill this void
Repeated game each time the same
But still nowhere you can stay
Don't stop running
And chase this dream
The never-ending quest for perfect match leading to a fail
It's a pain in you that keeps growing
The more you kiss the more you miss the less you try to resist
Losing count of all the baits you bit
So many disposable people all at your disposal

Favorite Toy
02:36
|
|||
|
The way you smile is my first victory
Like a child who lost his favorite toy and found it years after
Sometimes we might think it’s time to stop
It’s easier to run away and watch it with dismay
We were no easy bet
Two strangers in motion
Too scared of emotions
Gave myself some time but nothing changed
And you’re still in my head
I will stick around to make it better
It can stay this way and I’ll make it work
And you’ll watch me with a smirk
Tell me someday soon we’ll be together
We don’t have to save the world
We can build our own, innocently
And let people watch it burn
And in the end I’ll take what’s left
The impurities all burned away
approved at the crash test
And I don’t care if it’s ok
We’re still intertwined, in the rough
And close to melting point
You do know how to wind me up
But I’ll come clean and we will make it up
Gave myself some time but nothing changed
And you’re still in my head
I will stick around to make it better
It can stay this way and I’ll make it work
And you’ll watch me with a smirk
Tell me someday soon we’ll be together
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

Farewell friends I'm leaving the gang
I'm tired of pretending I don't understand
That you're my filler, jailer
I cannot be caged so I'm turning the page
The rat race is on and you're stuck in the maze
Undergo your life, cover it with sweet glaze
Suppress your ambitions and throw them away
Keep telling yourself you're going through a phase
Run and run again
Don't look back for help
Dive into the depths
You're free
I heard you guys were still looking for me
Take those binoculars and look ahead it's me
Far from home, all alone
I'm on my own and I can't hear you moan
No pictures of you like you've never been there
Try to get near me and I'll shoot you midair
Probably feels like I'm having an affair
Watch me find success and complain it's unfair
Run and run again
Don't look back for help
Dive into the depths
I'm free
I fly above your relentless distress
So light, without you in my sights
No matter how long and no matter how far
The albatross is still at my door
Knocking and knocking til I gaze at it
Contemplating these memories
No matter how long and no matter how far
The albatross is still at my door
Knocking and knocking til I gaze at it
Contemplating these memories
No matter how long and no matter how far
The albatross is still at my door
Knocking and knocking til I gaze at it
Contemplating these memories

Fast-Paced, Undressed
04:02
|
|||
|
You say I’m fakin’ it cause you don’t see me crying
But I just ran out of tears
I don’t know why I keep messing around with you
Ah ah aha aaah
Now take my hands and let’s dance to eternity
One two three four
Love you forever
You keep my heart rate high
Keep you forever
You make my world go round
You say you never ever ever felt this way
And I try hard to be cool
I don’t know how to handle all these emotions
Ah ah aha aaah
Obsessed, enlaced
Feeling like we’ve become the wonder
Fast paced, undressed
One two three four
Love you forever
You keep my heart rate high
Keep you forever
You make my world go round
I still don’t know how you keep up with all my mess
I did my best, you did the rest
One two three four
Love you forever
You keep my heart rate high
Keep you forever
You make my world go round
Love you forever
You keep my heart rate high
Keep you forever
You make my world go round

Meant To Collide
02:59
|
|||
|
Once in my life I’d like to know how it feels
To have a dream and watch it become real
But lately all I get is booby prizes
And I’m too cocky for apologies
Green lights turning to endless red
Each path leading to a dead end
Words to live by from a suicidal
It’s supernatural
Fast lane to more of the same
I feel insane, super lame, I wish I never came
Another prick another trick another kick in the teeth
Still stuck in a sweet disbelief
Stacked lies to get me hypnotized
Loud cries - still paralyzed
Sometimes I like to think we’re meant to collide
I can’t decide
Day after day with no medication
Craving for complications
Helplessly facing your self-destruction
Always stranger than fiction
Oh I will wait until the next high tide
You ask me to pick sides
And I just want to hide
I keep my hopes up someday you’ll be gone and won’t see me frown
I’ll get the crown

Ghetto Birds
02:48
|
|||
|
I know I said I’d leave
But I’m at your door
Ready to complain
To give you an encore
I brought some booze with me
To fill our empty souls
And dance into the cage
You can hang on me
And now the fire is on
The screams are overly loud
The neighbors calling the cops
The ghetto birds in the clouds
Everything’s falling apart
But no one cares in this place
We’re here to fade into dust
And we will keep on
The spotlight’s blinding
The drummer’s banging
There’s a fucking chopper in the yard
The spotlight’s blinding
The drummer’s banging
Gig’s so good the cops even came
The spotlight’s blinding
The drummer’s banging
There’s a fucking chopper in the yard
The spotlight’s blinding
The drummer’s banging
Gig’s so good the cops even came
(Drop your instruments on the floor
I repeat
Drop your instruments on the floor
This is your last warning
Shots will be fired
I repeat
This is your last warning)
The spotlight’s blinding
The drummer’s banging
There’s a fucking chopper in the yard
The spotlight’s blinding
The drummer’s banging
Gig’s so good the cops even came
The spotlight’s blinding
The drummer’s banging
There’s a fucking chopper in the yard
The spotlight’s blinding
The drummer’s banging
Gig’s so good the cops even came

Are You Afraid?
02:51
|
|||
|
Are you afraid about what they say?
You better stay safe or by midnight you’ll be dead
Suspicious noise and now you’re paranoid, lock the door
Turn off the lights
Don’t make a sound
You’re an easy target
A harmless kid
Not intrepid
They’re losing track of the constantly growing casualties
If this is rigged, well we’re all fucked
Thank you good night it’s been a blast
Heebie-jeebies
Shook like a leaf
Red and blue lights, dancing all night
Until everything fades to black
Turn off the lights
Don’t make a sound
You’re an easy target
A harmless kid
Not intrepid
Are you afraid?
Are you afraid?
Are you afraid?
Are you afraid?
Nowhere is safe
The mist is coming
You’re running
With hopes ahead
Straight to the heart
It keeps on spinning
And draining
For evermore
Crawling on bones
You feel it raging
Unflagging
Was it your fault?
Everyone’s dead
And you keep praying
And screaming
For someone’s help
Are you afraid?
Are you afraid?
Are you afraid?

Off-Screen

You think we’re the best
I think we’re a mess and hopeless
A beautiful dream
Turning to a nightmare off-screen
I come to you
Every night
A gut feeling telling me we’re close from the ending
Babe, our little dance is over
I’ll send your stuff all over to you
Now, I won’t be scared anymore
You’ll call me everyday and I’ll make sure to ignore
There’s so much left I have to say
And I know that you know
But I can’t let you stay
There’s so much left I have to say
And I know that you know
But I can’t let you stay
You tell all my friends
All of your regrets you’re reckless
I know what you miss
Would be pure bliss if we kissed
I come to you
One more time
Another ride for fun this one is our overtime
Babe, our game is on again
I want your love all over me
Oh, but now the shit hit the fan
Abracadabra honey we are back to square one
There’s so much left I have to say
And I know that you know
But I can’t let you stay
There’s so much left I have to say
And I know that you know
But I can’t let you stay

Blood & Gold
04:03
|
|||
|
Walls made of blood and gold
Something magical
Everything hauntingly old
Full of mysteries
Past visionaries
Most of us looked for a home
But all we found
Was unsound
Scraps from a unconscious plan
Dream after dream
I come close
I come closer and stronger
Dream after dream
I come close to control
I look up
And I see
All it takes to take over the world
Should I care?
Should I try?
Oh
Stretching the truth
Fake it all
Into the rabbit hole
Stand in the way
And give all
To keep all the naysayers away
Climbing up the stairs by myself
Far from both ends I'm getting confused
Left all my burdens on the shelf
Looking back at them I get amused
So when it's all over
What's to see is bitter
Sounded good on paper
Guess I'm not so clever
Hovering over the sun
Everything revolves around me
Looking for something to hunt
But now everything comes to me
I look down
And I see
All it took to take over the world
I'm on top
I can stop
Oh

Goodbye
05:24
|

|
Now it’s time to say goodbye
Oh I know how time flies
Future sounds so unreliable
But I’ll see you next time
It’s been fun to hang around
Remember this comfort we had
Now it’s time to say goodbye
Oh I know how time flies
Don’t be afraid I’ll lead the way
I know a place where we can stay
For an hour or forever
If this is fate I won’t be late
