Back in Time

So i raise my bottle up
to all the punkrock bands
i was listening to when i was young
because of them, i am who i am
i turn the music up (only)
ever once in a while
i don‘t have time anymore
what a shame
now who’s to blame?
is it me losing sight
to all the dreams that i had
back in time?

Not Your Enemy
03:25
|
|||
|
It felt like my whole mind was leaving this damn room before my eyes
And I cannot explain, I just saw it go by
I cannot think straight or be alright at any time
I’m just breaking inside
I can feel the pieces
Falling down
Just broken pieces on the ground
I’m a broken mind
I’m not meant to be
In this world of hate throw away the key
To my locked up cell
And let me rot in my own hell
Dammit can’t you see
I’m not your enemy
She tried to take her life inspired by the hatred of us all
She never had a chance, and she never belonged
To any group or anyone so no one saw her falling
And she kept falling
Till the end
Till the end
She’s a broken mind
She’s not meant to be
In this world of hate throw away the key
to her locked up cell
And let her rot in her own hell
Dammit can’t you see
She’s not your enemy
We’re not your enemy
Distorted perception. No flaws, no perfection. Competition, failure, consequential loss.
Catching light, reflecting shadows, spreading darkness, over a world that is already lost
We’re just broken minds
We’re not meant to be
In this world of hate throw away the key
To our locked up cells
And let us rot in our own hell
Dammit can’t you see
We’re not your enemy
No where to run no where to hide
We’re not your enemy
Another pain another life
We’re not your enemy
we can’t escape we can’t deny
We’re not your enemy
that we cannot change whats in our minds but
We’re not your enemy

The time is lost the moment’s over
The chance is gone we‘ve just screwed up
Things like this just wouldn’t happen if the both of us were sober
For the sake of our guilt let’s say that it was just bad luck
Or we wash a way the bad
Thoughts in our heads
Turn around and start all over
You can’t regret mistakes you‘ve never done
You can’t forget memories that you‘ve never had
Let‘s wright our stories the best we can
Don‘t care about the fortune
We make our own plans
Shift gear and the car is gone
Let‘s ride to where we don‘t belong
But don‘t sing to that awful song
Well screw it, turn the radio up loud
And scream out our lungs
Till everybody sees
That that’s the way to be cause
You can’t regret mistakes you‘ve never done
You can’t forget memories that you‘ve never had
Let‘s wright our stories the best we can
Don‘t care about the fortune
We make our own plans
Don‘t care about the fortune
We make our own plans
Don‘t care about the fortune
We make our own plans
Don‘t care about the fortune
We make our own plans
Don‘t care about the fortune
We make our own plans
You can’t regret mistakes you‘ve never done
You can’t forget memories that you‘ve never had
Let‘s wright our stories the best we can
Don‘t care about the fortune
We make our own plans

Afraid of Heights
03:06
|
|||
|
We can't control what's in our minds
We cannot force a will, it's time to wake, before it is too late
No tension no relief, no happiness no grief, no life, can go without pain
Let's make use of our time, it doesn't matter where we go
It's all more or less the same
Let's take some chances, the unknown
May bring some friends, my guide us home
Nothing's for nothing so never suppose
That it's just 'bout killing time, it's the boredom that we kill
No big things started with falling into line
Makes us stronger
What doesn't kill us
Wonder not why I'm here with you
We won't just sit this through
No longer
We'll be afraid of heights
Or any other threat
Keep it coming, just keep it coming
And in the end you'll disappoint yourself
While searching for a goal
You're not supposed to find
Just have a good time
Don't waste too many thoughts
Just step out of the line
Makes us stronger
What doesn't kill us
Wonder, not why I'm here with you
We won't just sit this through
No longer
We'll be afraid of heights
Or any other threat
Keep it coming, just keep it coming

Hands are Tied
02:14
|

|
Blurred image, wrong notion, lies
Turn into reality when all of us lose our disguise
You can never run or hide
From your own insanity, you know the answer just decide
Which way to go
No headlights no way home
No way to go
My hands are tied, my hands are tied
I wanna get to you, i wanna get to you
Your mind is tired you think your time's expired
But I want you to
Hold on, hold on
This is gonna be a meltdown in your thoughts
Can you explain what makes you want
Kill the things that are haunting you?
Can never be a part of me
Till you want to be free, you want to be free
It's your mind not just a maze
Take your time and find a way
To get back to reality
My hands are tied, my hands are tied
I wanna get to you, I wanna get to you
Your mind is tired you think your time's expired
But I want you to
Hold on
My hands are tied, my hands are tied
I wanna get to you, I wanna get to you
Your mind is tired you think your time's expired
But I want you to
Hold on, hold on

..the Ending
01:12
|
|||
|
Just got my forecast
It said soon I‘m gonna die
Ripped from this world and all that’s left is just unfinised songs on my harddrive
Some LPs no one would listen to,
Skate shoes just worn out and used,
A book with all the lyrics that i write
No one would ever read them, no one could ever read them
Black out no memories
Darkness is what I’ve got
Won’t get to see the miracles and stupid things, that I would rather not
So many things that bother me, politics, economy
And all the series that i‘m into
And I cannot go on watching
FuckIi wanna know the ending
To all the ones got left behind
I hope you‘re having a good time
Wont see each other for a while but that’s ok

Pictures
02:43

Here‘s to us
Here‘s a Picture, of us playing, in the sand
We were young
We were reckless
But most of all, we were friends
But time does go on
And life goes its ways
Sometimes we’ve got to be strong
While our purpose fades away
So here‘s to us
Here‘s to a time
Without pain, and no regrets
But everything comes to an end
And always someone gets left without a friend
Painted pictures in my head are the only things that last
Here‘s to the times
Here‘s to the places
Here‘s to the friends that got lost on the way
Here‘s to the times
Where nothing‘s ever wasted
And some day
We‘ll meet the ones that got lost on the way
I wanna stay
In my pictures, to escape
From the bitter reality coming my way to collect all the favors I‘ve claimed
Disrupted pictures in my head are the only things that last
Here‘s to the times
Here‘s to the places
Here‘s to the friends that got lost on the way
Here‘s to the times
Where nothing‘s ever wasted
And some day
We‘ll meet the ones that got lost on the way
Here‘s to the times
Here‘s to the places
Here‘s to the friends that got lost on the way
Here‘s to the times
Where nothing‘s ever wasted
And some day
We‘ll meet the ones that got lost on the way

Forever Haunted
01:55
|
|||
|
Loneliness is killing me
And all the support is fulfilling me
I try to stay calm while i chase my dreams
But i guess that I’m not who i used to be
Maybe it’s not bad to be afraid
Step by step moving on the way
Face the fact that I have to change
While deep inside I gotta stay the same
But it’s not about fame
Its about change, and going my way
‘Bout putting together the pieces to gain
Fulfillment in life, reducing the pain
There is no place for shame
Doing whatever it takes to stay sane
But maybe that’s wrong at the end of the day
I cannot resist
There‘s no control
It’s forever haunting me
‘Till there‘s a place i can call home
I wanna do something
Not just trying
I need an offer that i can’t deny
I wanna step out of the line
Make something new all free from lies
I close my eyes, watch the pictures that made up my life
Wanna do something but I’m petrified
I cant do nothing while everyone dies
Not for real but inside
Just in their minds
Is everyone blind
This is your life, boom surprise,
No one can see your true self in disguise
There‘s no reason to hide on this one-way-ticket-bumpy-ride
There‘s no value when its not worth a fight
I cannot resist
There‘s no control
It’s forever haunting me
‘Till there‘s a place i can call home
T cannot exist
‘Till I find a way
To be the person that I wanna be
I’m gonna find a way

Fragments
02:48
|

True fact, this life‘s just one act
Of collisions and contracts
Promoted to work until you fall and crack
Sometimes you need to get wrecked
Two shots cannot effect much
But can pull out some words from ones mouth never supposed to be said
At least it cleared your head
No retrospection that, can’t be seen in a recap
Another time, another place
As gravity’s taking you further away
You’ll never be back, you‘ll never be back
You can’t control, you cannot check
That everything goes according to plan
So just get back, just get back
Sleep tight, or never be tired
Of your desolated life
Gain up, overdrive, paint your shells
Get inked, get out, get hurt, get well
Try and make some wrong decisions
Go and learn from your mistakes
‘Cause happiness cannot be faked
Maybe you get to escape
From the spinning wheel that you‘ve been in to race
Hold tight and redirect your ways
Another time, another place
As gravity’s taking you further away
You’ll never be back, you‘ll never be back
You can’t control, you cannot check
That everything goes according to plan
So just get back, just get back

Rough Times
02:09
|

|
Don’t shoot the messenger I am not to blame
I‘m just a little piece in this fucked up chess game
Can’t you see that all of this is just a scam
Just fairytales, getting blackmailed, fake personalities
Living in a sick society
There’s no willingness to help if not for cash
Where did all the friendships go that where supposed to last
Know that anytime someone could stab you in the back
Frustrated community with anger from the past
Looking at a promising forecast
Rough times, rough actions
Stupid minds, wrong perception
Lack of humanity, the world against itself it seems
Rough times, rough actions
Stupid minds, wrong perception
Lack of humanity, the world against itself it seems
Should we sit and wait for better times?
Shall we be polite and stand in line?
With a grind silently giving our lives
Don’t shoot the messenger, he is not to blame
At least not more than anyone as we‘re just all the same
Wouldn‘t stop for nothing to achieve fortune and fame
Another wrong red button and we‘re loosing this endgame

Wastelands
02:22
|

We are the wastelands, wooh ooh
forgotten and forsaken
But we won‘t take it anymore
Down in the wastelands, you gotta face it
You can’t keep us quiet anymore
Outcasts, good-for-nothings, no longer in your control
We‘re gonna rise up
Damn right we‘re not just bluffing
Wanna live not just get old
There‘s no price on our souls
We are the wastelands, wooh ooh
forgotten and forsaken
But we won‘t take it anymore
Down in the wastelands, you gotta face it
You can’t keep us quiet anymore
Painting pictures in our heads from stories that‘ve been told
Soon be visible to the eye
Raising power raising hope
we no longer hide under your feet
We are the wastelands, wooh ooh
forgotten and forsaken
But we won‘t take it anymore
Down in the wastelands, you gotta face it
You can’t keep us quiet anymore

One for the Road
03:44

I guess I am done
I just got another round, and now I‘m broke and I am drunk
I slur I stumble and I talk to everyone, about every single shit that’s going on
About my ex, about my future leading to nowhere
About how this fucked up world is going down and no one cares
About my feelings and how bad I wish that we‘d met more
And the neighbours from the fuckin’ 2nd floor
Let’s meet at the bar
Well there‘s no need to meet, as I never go far away from here
Order another round!
‘Cause I don’t wanna get sober and theres so much to think about
I don’t get why everyone’s so dumb
We fight against ourselves, are listening to stupid songs
They voted Donald Trump and everybody got fucked
Goodbye united kingdom and good luck
Wait a sec, ‘cause there‘s so much more let’s
Face the fact that we‘re just waiting for
Ourselves to go down
Order another round
And forget what we were talking about
I cannot escape
I don’t even like myself but I will never change
I will never change
