Just sit back and relax, get rid of all the negative tension Have a single look it’s all they need to catch your attention Welcome you’re not hurt only hypnotized by a weapon of massive distraction Just forget about your care they’ll make sure you get your fix of daily satisfaction right till the end and you’ll never get enough From the bottom of your chair you stare at the streaming flow of images Numb from all the non-sense they keep feeding Thinking you’re still in control The addiction is sinking in You can’t escape the sickening (feeling) Entertainment has become our mind-bending daily routine a subtle underestimated form of violence Prefab dreams on your brand new flat TV screen On every ad, on every display, on every cover of your magazines From the bottom of your chair you stare at the streaming flow of images Numb from all the non-sense they keep feeding Thinking you’re still in control The addiction is sinking in You can’t escape the sickening (feeling) Motionless, disconnected, mesmerized eyes you're medicated From the bottom of your chair you stare at the streaming flow of images Numb from all the non-sense they keep feeding Thinking you’re still in control The addiction is sinking in You can’t escape the sickening (feeling)

Holding breath, spilling blood, hanging by a thread Even in the darkest times we’ve never ceased to hold our ground Never ready to let die and to back down With the weight of the world on our shoulders We wandered every step of the way We strived so hard not to go astray Bending never breaking, slowing down never stopping Fighting the odds with a common passion to believe in Fighting always trusting, Falling always standing Turning the tide this ship is not sinking Another letdown, another disappointment One more situation that stands in the way Running out of time waiting on the sideline With a constant fear not to make it through Armed with such a dedication and the greatest persistence to refuse the end Fighting always trusting, Falling always standing Turning the tide this ship is not sinking Bending never breaking, slowing down never stopping Fighting the odds with a common passion to believe in Words with a deeper meaning I won’t let it go This world’s got so much more to show We’ve got scars to prove each and every fight we held out There’s so much more that we can take, so much less that we can’t face

Keep Running 03:14
Yesterday’s dreams today’s regrets tomorrow’s hopes Keep haunting my thoughts Like sand slipping through my hands I’ve been watching all this time draining away I keep running in this race against the clock Another fight that can’t be won But is it really wrong to make what you think is right To keep searching for this light? And I can’t keep looking back and regret All the wrong decisions I made And I can’t keep looking back and complain About this precious time I wasted I keep running in this race against the clock Another fight that can’t be won But is it really wrong to make what you think is right To keep searching for this light? Changing numbers the needles are turning faster The way to my dreams is getting darker I’ll just try harder I keep running in this race against the clock Another fight that can’t be won But is it really wrong to make what you think is right To keep searching for this light?

A sunny haze shining on a peaceful day A laid back mind, killing time, I feel revived and alive I’ve overpast this feeling all I did was to survive I’ve found my way back to the stars Dressed to kill for all these wars All negative thoughts swept away I look up to the sky Moving on and keeping my hopes high I fell before and I’ll fail again, the horizon will darken With every fall comes a recovery Heading down this road destination unknown Eager and so ready for this date with my fate All negative thoughts swept away I look up to the sky Moving on and keeping my hopes high I fell before and I’ll fail again, the horizon will darken With every fall comes a recovery I’m turning away from all these shades of grey I won’t look back on these blurry days I’ve come to terms and I got to learn There’s no right or wrong Just different ways to scrape by All negative thoughts swept away I look up to the sky Moving on and keeping my hopes high I fell before and I’ll fail again, the horizon will darken With every fall comes a recovery

Give me your hand and close your eyes it's time to draw the line, you're my sinking ship With you I've learned how to keep my silence I’ve learned how to escape from within I will never let myself heal Before my eyes you disappeared Without a chance to make it last I know there’s a still a long, long way to go Please understand I’ve never been here before Just take me in tonight and I'll remind you why Silent kisses held in by these fragile walls Frozen as I stared at you I’m waiting for my life to change And I’m dying to take this pain away These short stories, brief passages in our lives Get to their unstoppable ending in the blink an of eye I know there’s still a lot of work to be done Please understand I’ve never been here before Just take me in tonight and I'll remind you why Silent kisses held in by these fragile walls Frozen as I stared at you I’m waiting for my life to change And I’m dying And I’m just one second away from wishing And I’m just one argument from leaving One step closer to surrendering myself again

A crossroad with another hard decision to make it seems like I've been there a hundred times before How could I know which side of the fence to choose When my heart and my reason collide all the time? Raising all these questions again they tear me up inside Trying to resolve which direction to take I'm back again against the wall defying my own rules Redefining my standards not to break down So I’ve made the right choice But I’ve got this wrong feeling Wisdom as a motto and keyword Deep down it doesn’t feel right The inner struggle never stops somehow It’s hard to figure out what should prevail in all this confusion Back and forth stuck into all this indecision This constant wavering is killing me a little more I’ve got the answers and a heart dying to be heard So I’ve made the right choice But I’ve got this wrong feeling Wisdom as a motto and keyword Deep down it doesn’t feel right The inner struggle never stops somehow Screaming for a change will I let it be With a soul to battle and a mind to free So I’ve made the right choice But I’ve got this wrong feeling Wisdom as a motto and keyword Deep down it doesn’t feel right The inner struggle never stops somehow So I’ve made the wrong choice But I’ve got this right feeling Action as a motto and keyword Deep down it fuckin’ feels right The inner struggle’s come to stop somehow

Over And Out 02:59
I never wanted you to be waiting, never intended to be defeated To write this song ink these words, find the meaning in despair I convinced myself that the beauty is in the attempt I couldn’t look away and I bore all this contempt I gave up on myself and fought for what I thought was right I barely questioned my weakened faith in hope with a few doubts I confused daylight with the darkest of nights It was all meant to shine, it ended up a burning lie I blamed my own shortcomings with guilt and desolation I came back to my senses to think we’re better off this way I kept longing for a better change in vain Assuming the end would justify the pain I gave up on myself and fought for what I thought was right I barely questioned my weakened faith in hope with a few doubts I confused daylight with the darkest of nights It was all meant to shine, it ended up a burning lie Why try to make amends with no heart left to mend Nothing but a bitter end I gave up on myself and fought for what I thought was right I barely questioned my weakened faith in hope with a few doubts I confused daylight with the darkest of nights It was all meant to shine, it ended up a burning lie

Lost red lights vanishing on a dark night Neverending countless white lines, obsessing road signs I’m weak, I’m jaded and I’m staggering I’m gazing at this saddening scenery This is the last exit to nowhere And it feels like we’ll never reach the end Hundreds miles of concrete through the windshield Until I fall asleep, this is the last exit to nowhere Tiredness is putting me back to sleep Caving in a bit of rest, a little peace I’m feeling the urge to ease up on my weary mind But I’m going up against this dire need to relieve This is the last exit to nowhere And it feels like we’ll never reach the end Hundreds miles of concrete through the windshield Until I fall asleep, this is the last exit to nowhere My sore eyes can’t help closing My sight’s blending with these dreams fading in The morning light awakens me Suddenly I get to see This is the first exit to anywhere And it feels like we’ll always reach the end Hundreds miles of concrete through the windshield Until I fall asleep, this is the last exit to nowhere

Born and bred to stand in line Walking with our hands tied and a blindfold on our eyes How does this one life fits all suit you? Don’t be afraid to make your own way Oh It doesn’t come easy, it’s a long run to be free I won’t let myself be another sad face in this crowd Every day is a chance to bury your deepest regrets Rewrite your future and leave all your past behind Make it start today don’t waste another try to break free Take back the steering wheel of your destiny Freedom is to be earned, not to be owned It doesn’t come with a price tag but a heavy price to pay and such a great dismay The choice is all ours to make I won’t let myself be another sad face in this crowd Every day is a chance to bury your deepest regrets One more hope to turn it into a different story Don’t let tomorrow be another mistake The future is ours to make I won’t let myself be another sad face in this crowd Every day is a chance to bury your deepest regrets

I don’t know if I should smile or just let myself cry I’ve seen these days pass me by with disappointment in disguise I’m craving for this moment I will escape from this cold I’ve got a bitter feeling at the very bottom of my heart And it makes me wonder why Am I on the rise or am I witnessing my own demise? If you expect me to let you know you got me wrong I’ve been working all these little things out on my own for way too long Tomorrow I’ll be fine and I’ll be strong Back to the bright side is where I belong One step ahead and two steps back or is it the other way around ? I’m losing track Have I been paving the way for better days Or lost myself on another meandering way? If you expect me to let you know you got me wrong I’ve been working all these little things out on my own for way too long Tomorrow I’ll be fine and I’ll be strong Back to the bright side is where I belong

It's hard to take a look back and wonder what my life would be like I’ve passed the years and I shed all these tears I've been writing all these songs to keep my heart away from all these fears but it’s not working out I’m walking down these streets of innocence again Taking a trip down memory lane I’m carrying this sorrow like the heaviest lifechanging sin Living all these scenes again when life was just a harmless game Such a final outcome wasn’t meant to be our plan And I miss those familiar places A pic of you and me together when we were younger Standing on its own lost in the back of a drawer It’s good to see again these old childish laughters It’s been too long since I haven’t seen life in colors I’m carrying this sorrow like the heaviest lifechanging sin Living all these scenes again when life was just a harmless game Such a final outcome wasn’t meant to be our plan And I miss those familiar places The same old recollections on my mind The same old feeling that this will never end Can we go back in time change the screenplay Make it a fiction where reality’s a different game No matter how many words I write They never seem to take this pain away There hasn’t even been a single place since you’ve been gone that’s ever made me feel like home This radiant smile on your face has never made me feel so lonely I’m holding this scar for a lifetime Touching this hope for a second Feeling it real for a moment I can feel you somewhere near Just pretending you’re right here
