Already Dead

Just heard about your old fashioned vision of advancement
It’s really sad but you are dead wrong again
I shudder to think just how mad your kids are gonna be
When they’ll figure out their future isn’t in their hands
Think back at our place what would you say if we take out your right to say
Talk to me about living young through progress
I don’t give a shit at all
Our youth is already dead
Beg the kids to be optimistic at your views
They won’t slip down in your cobweb
We are down, but not about to break
We’re not about to change
Hope someday you’ll come to need me
More than you ever needed me before
Then realize that in the time when you could have let the youth express itself
You’ve tripped over your pride
No matter if you say you’re not the one to blame
If the world is about to break you are the only one to blame

Sleep, Sleep

Dream up, tons of pictures all night long
Fade out, like shadows on my wall
It's been a day and a night that I cannot fall asleep
I’ve got something on my mind
That keeps me wide awake and torn down
Late night, night falls.
A sunbeam breaks up through my wall
Finally got through a deep sleep
But it didn’t last a minute
Late night, night falls.
Torments haunt me until the dawn
Feels like I’ve lost myself up in this mess
And finally comes the daybreak
I feel exhausted I just want to sleep
All in a moment of terror
I see the time pass in front of me
And then I stare at the ceiling
So afraid of facing up a sunbeam
So afraid of facing up the day
Feels like I’ve barely lost touch with everything…
When the sun went down, I did not know what to do
And it rolls on, rolling in my bed
I try to find to find a posture
And the night goes on; still don 't know what to do
Embrace the posture before facing up the daylight
And the night goes on; still don’t know what to do
I guess I’ll have to fight insomnia all night, forever

Bitter Friend
04:14

He started late and blind to sail close to the wind
Now he tries to stem the tide raging through his sins
In other words not to get it wrong
He's kind of a pleasant bar fly surrounded by tons of broken dreams
Every night he stands still three sheets at the wind
He braves new world and loses is face but takes a stand no matter what’s in his way
Four squares behind, I stand for you for better or for worse
Bitter friend, bitter friend
Never gets out of his wasteland
He truly stands truly stands
Never break up through his trend
Most of people fake to suffer all the time
My friend faces his faith with his reckless style without fear
Without any hesitation he will keep moving on even through these troubled times
And when he gets angry the worst can happen
Instinct and music as a violent blend
He means his words, holds onto his message: “Stay yourself; hold on to your dreams”
Carry in; carry on to what you stand for
Never break; never crawl no matter what happens”
True friends will always be there for you

Broken String
03:17

Mid-day light is flashing on the wall
Right-left pillows nowhere to fall
I turn around in the hope to find something
Is there something to hold on still?
Lay out close your eyes and fall asleep
Because like a broken string
In the middle of a chorus
All things collapse
While everything appeared flawless
Just like a broken string
In the middle of a chorus
You and I
Are not immune to tragic endings
Late PM is knocking at my door
To let me know all her love for me is gone
Is there something to hold on still?
Lay out close your eyes and fall asleep
Is there anything left for me?
So many things that you can’t see

Keep Away From Children

I guess it’s a part of that scene
To feel like being all alone
Along a bunch of lost kids, alone
Once proud of being an actor
Now that I am growing old
I feel like no one comes out to make me feel like home
Come and go we’ve all got used to see
It breaks the core
Well then, I won’t fake it
We’ve been the first to know it when shits turned out wrong
Suffering the weight of the choices you had to make
Your empty smile coated of plastic plate
Got you stuck at your own game
The rulebook always stayed the same
And this is not about to change
You’ve got to face it

Not From This World
02:35

|

Eyelids glued up staring at the screen
Standing right in front of you
And I can’t help feeling
Boring and wretched when I look at you
But a little voice in me keeps screaming
Don’t think too much
You create a problem that was never there
The world that you think you live in
All the characters are fakes
Don't think your life is boring
Their world is surely worse than here
If you truly want to change it
You must first change your state of mind
But the more I know about your life
The less I want to leave the screen view
Contemplating your achievements
Makes me wanna be a part of you
But a little voice in me keeps screaming
Turn off the screen
Illusions that you made are far from real
Break up the connections
That make you feel you’re a part of this machine

Backstabbed

A rude awakening has sent me back
To when I thought I was awake
I was so far from the track
I raise my head up to the painted sky
That's when I realized I shouldn't have closed my eyes
A rude awakening has sent me back
To when I thought you were a friend
You stabbed me in the back
I raise my head up to the mountain tops
That’s when I realise that you stand on the top of it all
And all that I’ve been given
All things I’d give to you
All of that you loosely stole from me
And all the shame inflicted
The trust that I’ve put in you
All those things that I will steal you back
And all that I've been given
All things I'd give to you
All of that you loosely stole from me
And all the shame inflicted
The trust I’ve put in you
I'll sprinkle it all with gasoline
I’ll set it ablaze with you
I'll do everything that could ever hurt you enough
And I guess it'd never be enough
