rooted in strength

I am tired just like you
We’ve got our haeds full of dispute
Same ol‘ shit on a different day
A gentle collapse on display
I wrote my condolences
On dirty sheets and danced to them
Words are words just so you know
While a raging son throws a stone
What is there to hide
We are kind alike
Waiting for applause
A life without a cause
What is there to hide
We are kind alike
Sugarcoating our despair
Enjoy what is never there
I’m rooted in strength
A holder of hope
A mind full of shit
But a heart made of gold
What is there to hide
We are kind alike
Waiting for applause
A life without a cause
What is there to hide
We are kind alike
Sugarcoating our despair
Enjoy what is never there
I’m rooted in strength
A holder of hope

I am an animal and I know you’re too
Pretty wreckless and wild and lightminded for sure
You are the predator and sometimes the prey
Go grab at the topshelf and save what you can
This world is for you
nothing more than a personal flag on the map
This world is for you
Another chance to take all what you can get
You are a wildfire out in the flames
You are the gasoline all at the same
Time and time again
We make the same mistakes I guess that’s oblivion
This world is for you
nothing more than a personal flag on the map
This world is for you
Another chance to take all what you can get
It’s obsessive, a narrative, misconception
Yet to be shown - a massive question.
Our generation still has so much to learn.
I am an animal and I know you’re too
Pretty wreckless and wild and lightminded for sure

the waltz
02:48
|

|
She gives me the chills and builds me up
This is surreal
When I’m feelin‘ down I concentrate on the sound of the stereo
And if the music is off we’re fucked anyhow.
Hey, let’s do the waltz tonight
and swing gently in my arms
Hey, let’s do the waltz tonight
I’m sorry I can’t dance but I love to pretend
Rumbelin‘ through the flat feelin‘ every beat of the rhythm
Shakin‘ off the disease – we could not care less about the world
Forget the future and the past it’s all blurred
Hey, let’s do the waltz tonight
and swing gently in my arms
Hey, let’s do the waltz tonight
I’m sorry I can’t dance but I love to pretend
Hey, let’s do the waltz tonight
and swing gently in my arms
Hey, let’s do the waltz tonight
I’m sorry I can’t dance but I love to pretend

Why has everyone a deathwish because everybody talks about their crappy live
I don’t mind if I seem selfish – I’m freakin’ happy about that I’m still alive
Why would you ever change?
Your friends don’t care anyway
If you can’t let it go ‘cause you’re too proud to show, yeah yeah yeah
That you’d rather smile even just for a while, yeah yeah yeah
And that you’d like to sing a song
Celebrating all night long
Poor poor boy, poor poor girl
Why has everyone a deathwish? Is it a thing to sing sinister songs?
Maybe you’re lacking some friend to laugh with
Who are having your back when you’re under attack
Why would you ever change?
Noone cares anyway
If you can’t let it go ‘cause you’re too proud to show, yeah yeah yeah
That you’d rather smile even just for a while, yeah yeah yeah
And that you’d like to sing a song
Celebrating all night long
Poor poor boy, poor poor girl
Please, please, please don’t be so negative
These, these, these accusations are true but you already knew that
If you can’t let it go ‘cause you’re too proud to show, yeah yeah yeah
That you’d rather smile even just for a while, yeah yeah yeah
And that you’d like to sing a song
Celebrating all night long
Poor poor boy, poor poor girl
Poor poor boy, poor poor girl

dead end porch
03:46

Your foot on the gas, your hands on the steering wheel
Leave the ruins behind and focus on the street
You’re driving too fast – you’re hiding from yourself
Another life on the run smashed in one moment
When you drowned in your gown - I’m sorry that I wasn’t there
Your life seemed to thrive – I’m sorry that I wasn’t there
In front of your house you felt always safe
Let’s break it down to the cause: all what here remains
Reminds you of how much you didn’t care
How many worries can such weak shoulders even bear?
When you drowned in your gown - I’m sorry that I wasn’t there
Your life seemed to thrive – I’m sorry that I wasn’t there
I wasn’t there
When you drowned in your gown - I’m sorry that I wasn’t there
Your life seemed to thrive – I’m sorry that I wasn’t there

youth
02:20
|

|
Time has passed so fast
I’m in my thirties now
I was robbed a whole year
Of hangin’ out with friend and cheap beer
There goes my youth
There goes my youth
Merciless the clock is tickin’ down
Still I’m not aware of where I belong
And decisions wait to be made
But I move in circles biting my own tail
And there goes my youth
There goes my youth
There goes my youth
There goes my youth

the void
03:22
|
|||
|
I can’t tell what’s wrong or right or guide you to the light
But if you feel the will to destroy follow me into the void
There’s a shadow covering the city – no noise, no flashin’ lights
Welcome to a brand-new wasteland, welcome to the void
Oh yeah
If I had the chance I’d it all again
‘Cause there’s no missing out on something if you don’t understand
There is way to go, no more things to show
The void has taken everything, everything we knew ohoh
Watch it all slip away it slowly slips through your fingertips
Without bliss there is just hiss and we are a useless part of this
If I had the chance I’d it all again
‘Cause there’s no missing out on something if you don’t understand
There is way to go, no more things to show
The void has taken everything, everything we knew ohoh
It must be so beautiful watchin’ us collapse
From the top of it all
But is there something new to this? We’ve seen it all before
The rise and the fall
The void will disappear again so does the dirty blues
Embrace hope.

cold atmosphere
03:21
|
|||
|
I’m so sick of fake online pricks
They say it’s seasonal, it’s seasonal
But I’d say it’s intentional
Oh it’s cold out of here in this vague atmosphere
We slowly fade away
Oh it’s cold out of here in this vague atmosphere
We slowly fade away
But if you fly I fly higher
And if I’m high you’re much higher
Just eat sleep work and repeat
God make it stop and pull me out
Oh it’s cold out of here in this vague atmosphere
We slowly fade away
Oh it’s cold out of here in this vague atmosphere
We slowly fade away
But if you fly I fly higher
And if I’m high you’re much higher
Oh it’s cold out of here in this vague atmosphere
We slowly fade away
Oh it’s cold out of here in this vague atmosphere
We slowly fade away
Fade away

electric sky
03:42
|

I feel so electric I cannot deny
Skin on skin – eye to eye
The air’s electrified
Your tender kiss is a sweet treat
We belong to the night
Skin on skin – eye to eye
The air’s electrified
I’ve got nothing to do
But to hang with you
And stay the whole night outside
Observing the electric sky
Come and lay next to me
And define a new philosophy
What’s mine is yours and yours is mine
We’re trippin’ on a sweet decline
Skin on skin – eye to eye, the air is electrified
I’m a mess so please stop test me
Enjoy the love that we are blessed with
I’ve got nothing to do
But to hang out with you
And stay the whole night outside
Observing the electric sky
I’ve got nothing to do
Won’t you share with me the blues
And stay the whole night outside
Observing the electric sky

truth
04:59
|

|
I know the truth but I keep it to myself
You have to prove that you are worth my time
And whatever you might say I know I’m right
I won’t start a riot but I can’t continue to be quiet
I’ve been misled in the past but not this time
And whatever you might say I know I’m right
All you want to see is global conspiracy
You don’t want to have it any other way
All you want to see is global conspiracy
You don’t want to have it any other way
I can’t stand your argument you don’t seem to comprehend
Everything’s corrupted and so are you
And whatever you might say you’ve been fooled too
All you want to see is global conspiracy
You don’t want to have it any other way
All you want to see is global conspiracy
You don’t want to have it any other way
All you want to see is global conspiracy
You don’t want to have it any other way
All you want to see is global conspiracy
You don’t want to have it any other way
