1. BROKEN MAN

Here I am, a broken man
Here I am, a broken man
Here I am, a broken man
Here I am, a broken man
Here I am, a broken man
Here I am, a broken man
Here I am, a broken man – gonna fly again

See my fucking dirty sweat
See my fucking dirty sweat
See my fucking dirty sweat
See my fucking dirty sweat
See my fucking dirty sweat
See my fucking dirty sweat
See my fucking dirty sweat – gotta pay the rent

One time around, I can't come back my friend
I gotta ride those wild horses to live

There you are, other side of the river
There you are, other side of the river
There you are, other side of the river
There you are, here I am

Here I am, a broken man – know I'm gonna fly again
Here I am, a broken man – know I'm gonna fly again
Here I am, a broken man – know I'm gonna fly again
Here I am, a broken man – laying on the ground

One time around, I can't come back my friend
I gotta ride those wild horses to live

Get back up, won't be defeated
There you are, other side of the river
Get back up, won't be defeated
There you are, here I am

I'm a broken man – broken man
I'm a broken man – broken man
I'm a broken man – broken man
I'm a broken man – broken man
Broken


2. LET MY ASS GO

Eins, zwei, drei, vier!

Gotta be something wrong
When I sit with my head in my hands
In the corner I paint myself in, I can't move

Didn't think it could happen to me
What I thought would be easy and free
Dug its claws in and wouldn't let go, let me go
Let my ass go!

Listen, I'm serious – I ain't delirious
Listen, I'm serious – I ain't delirious
Listen, I'm serious – I ain't delirious
Listen, I'm serious – I ain't delirious

Is it a shock – when I tell ya I feel this way
Laying low – hang my head and I'm hiding away
Is it a shock – when I tell ya I feel this way
Laying low – hang my head and I'm hiding away

Listen, I'm serious – I ain't delirious
Listen, I'm serious – I ain't delirious
Listen, I'm serious – I ain't delirious
Listen, I'm serious – I ain't delirious

Let my ass go!

What do you expect, it's too much
What do you expect, it's too much
What do you expect, it's too much
What do you expect, way too much


3. THE LADDER

Yeah, I'm a problem child, you'll find
That I gotta say just what's on my mind
You give me a pounding head
You got me seeing red
Maybe it's me again, but I think it's you

You climb the ladder to the top
Pushing me back down

Yeah, what I say flies over your head
You, you got me wishing that you were dead
Got the ball rolling now
Picking up speed and how
I wanna stop it, but it's outta my hands

You climb the ladder to the top
Pushing me back down

I walk the line, I'll never change
I gotta live with the child within

I say – you said
You say – I said
I say – you said
You say – I said

That, I gotta say just what's on my mind
Yeah, what I say flies over your head
I gotta live with the child within
I walk the line, I'll never change


4. AFTER ALL

After all I've been through, I'm alone
But right now I'm not lonely
Born extreme in every way
Subject to my surroundings

The day will come, I'll stand alone
Which for me is my calling
Co-exist with everything until…

Dust to dust
Dust to dust

Never felt so strong
As when I had to meet my maker
I do my best, the walls collapse around me
You're my savior

Insecurity in mundane life
I scream for a disaster
With my back against the wall
I will arrive…

Dust to dust
Dust to dust
Dust to dust
Dust to dust


5. WORLD SLOW DOWN

World slow down, I'm dropping out
Gonna kick it till I'm bored
Life depicting comedy
At a pace I can't afford

World slow down, we're losing ground
In the rat race that we run
Endless circles orbiting
Another rock around the sun

Monday mornings, cloudy days
You know I gotta take the blame
Pick me up and throw me back
Into the fire once again

One fine day a stranger said
You're a liar and a fake
Mistook me for someone else
Apologized and went away

Left me flat out of the blue
No rhyme or reason why
Everyday will be like this
Until the very day I die

Monday mornings, cloudy days
You know I gotta take the blame
Pick me up and throw me back
Into the fire once again

Blame and bicker, shadow dance
We're on a loop line to the end
Missing pieces fall in place
Another broken bridge we mend

Monday mornings, cloudy days
You know I gotta take the blame
Pick me up and throw me back
Into the fire once again

World slow down, I'm dropping out
Gonna kick it till I'm bored
Life depicting comedy
At a pace I can't afford

World slow down, we're losing ground
In the rat race that we run
Endless circles orbiting
Another rock around the sun

Monday mornings, cloudy days
You know I gotta take the blame
Pick me up and throw me back
Into the fire once again


6. STUCK TOGETHER

I'm crawling out of my skin
You and I, on our way to oblivion

Stuck together
No matter what the weather
And that's just the way it is

Walking around everyday hand in hand
When you look in our eyes
We just don't understand
Walking around everyday hand in hand
Being with you wasn't part of the plan

Life is like an old b-movie
Black and white and a little moody

Stuck together
No matter what the weather
And that's just the way it is

Walking around everyday hand in hand
When you look in our eyes
We just don't understand
Walking around everyday hand in hand
Being with you wasn't part of the plan

I'm a-ready to go, anytime you say so
Stop your complaining – I'm ready, ready, ready to go

I'm a-ready to go, anytime you say so
Stop your complaining – I'm ready, ready, ready to go

I'm a-ready to go, anytime you say so
Stop your complaining – I'm ready, ready, ready to go

I'm a-ready to go, anytime you say so
Stop your complaining – I'm ready, ready, ready to go

You and I, walking on the sand
In the sky – where will we land?

You and I, walking on the sand
In the sky – where will we land?


7. SHADOW

My shadow crawls along behind me
Can't run away from the veil of shade
Spinning around, it moves against me
It's what we call insanity

Gotta tow the lonely line
Eternal as the sea
Omni-present in the light
Darkness set me free

She comes to you, you're unsuspecting
The sun goes down and she's not there
It's something like when I used to listen
When thunderclouds gave way to rain

Gotta tow the lonely line
Eternal as the sea
Omni-present in the light
Darkness set me free

One step forward – two steps back
Tie me to the bloody rack
One step forward – two steps back
Tie me to the bloody rack

Gotta tow the lonely line
Eternal as the sea
Omni-present in the light
Darkness set me free

Running blind in the light of day
Running blind in the light of day
Running blind in the light of day

She will return at the break of morning
She will return at the break of day

Gotta tow the lonely line
Eternal as the sea
Omni-present in the light
Darkness set me free
Darkness set me free
Darkness set me free


8. WE SUCK

We suck – you suck – you know we don't give a fuck
We suck – you suck – you know we don't give a fuck

What're you looking at?
You're the king of slack
Turn and walk away
Nothing more to say

We suck – you suck – you know we don't give a fuck
We suck – you suck – you know we don't give a fuck

Ignore everyone
Having lotsa fun
Stupid ignorant
Just belligerent

In my face – everyday
Turn around – walk away
In my face – everyday
Turn around – walk away

In my face – everyday
Turn around – walk away
In my face – everyday
Turn around – walk away

Talk a lot of shit
You're on top of it

We suck – you suck – you know we don't give a fuck
We suck – you suck – you know we don't give a fuck

You're the only one
Argument is done
Try to shut me out
What's it al about?

In my face – everyday
Turn around – walk away
In my face – everyday
Turn around – walk away


9. DESCENT

Descent…

Saturate me with reality
Non-stop
The deafening roar
Of the sound of a pin drop
Laying in pieces
My journey to hell's fall
Is broken by branches
From under the ground

Saturate me with reality
Non-stop
The deafening roar
Of the sound of a pin drop
Laying in pieces
My journey to hell's fall
Is broken by branches
From under the ground

In my bed, absent friends
Rainbows from above descend
Sweeping grand old melodies
Shake my body, in rapture of fever

I – brought me to ruin, oh yeah
I – know what I'm doing, oh yeah

Walking around, got my feet on the ground
Still hear the echo of the deafening sound

Memories of my chaotic descent
Staring at me with provocative grins

In my bed, absent friends
Rainbows from above descend
Sweeping grand old melodies
Shake my body, in rapture of fever

I – brought me to ruin, oh yeah
I – know what I'm doing, oh yeah
I – brought me to ruin, oh yeah
I – know what I'm doing, oh yeah
Descent

I – brought me to ruin, oh yeah
I – know what I'm doing, oh yeah
I – brought me to ruin, oh yeah
I – know what I'm doing, oh yeah
I – brought me to ruin, oh yeah
I – know what I'm doing, oh yeah
Descent – descent – descent – descent – descent – descent


10. WHO WE ARE

Walking down a plastic street tonight
I'm a mess, I really look a fright
Where can I go when I am feeling low?
What can I do when I am feeling down?

Waves erase our footprints in the sand
Temporary scars upon the land
Wiped away, nothing left to say
Chaotic random order is the plan

Seasons change and lovers come and go
In the end the only thing I know
The more we change
The more we stay the same
No escaping who or what we are

We know who we are
We know who we are
We know who we are

Don't expect no second time around
Ain't no burning hell below the ground
And above, nothing but the clouds
In a void we're spinning round


11. LASH ME TO THE WHEEL

Lash me to the wheel

Travelled the road for a long time
And I don't even know where I'm aimed
Foot on the gas
Without a second thought I rage

Over the ridge, an oasis
Of pleasure and hope without pain
A vision mirage
Wind in sails
An empty cage

System descending – lash me to the wheel

Every waking moment – pushing for the border
Every waking moment – I get a little older
Every waking moment – I am evolution
Every waking moment

System descending – lash me to the wheel
System descending – lash me to the wheel

System descending – lash me to the wheel
System descending – lash me to the wheel

Every waking moment – pushing for the border
Every waking moment – I get a little older
Every waking moment – I am devolution
Every waking moment
Every waking moment
Every waking moment
Pushing for the border
Every waking moment
Every waking moment
I get a little older
Every waking moment


12. DONKEY RIDE

Heading down a dead end road again
Gotta get my mind on something else
Feeling like an empty garbage can
Waiting for myself, for myself to fill me up

Another working day

Heading down a dead end road again
Gotta get my mind on something else
Feeling like an empty garbage can
Waiting for myself, for myself to fill me up

Another working day

Riding on a donkey …
