1. AFTERMATH

The words you speak are empty inside out
And sooner or later they all will see
I’m not buying the disgust that you sell
‘Cause I have to keep remembering myself what I stand for

And I’m here to talk things through
but you’ll probably never listen, you never do, you never ever listen to me

Every time the soundtrack of my life meets my ears
The feeling of true belief slowly fades to the back (to the back)

Am I the only one, with the urge, with every song
To unlock these god forbidden shackles, the shackles of my heart
I couldn’t bear with the thought of marching on without a cause

I would rather do nothing, than doing something for the wrong reasons
I would rather do nothing, than regret the things I’ve said
Than regret the things I´ve said

Honesty, and commitment, are the standards
And would you please, keep in mind, the promises I've kept too long

Am I the only one, with the urge, with every song
To unlock these god forbidden shackles, the shackles to my heart
I couldn’t bear with the thought of marching on without a cause


2. DOWNFALL

And once again I go alone
No more sound of footsteps following me
But there is a difference between
lonelyness and being just me

The rain is pouring down my face
While the sky is brighter than the clearest eyes

Hoping for better times isn't enough
Belief is the main concern
I once had it all, but somehow
It all slipped out of my reach

And no matter how hard I try
The louder I scream
The bigger the distance
When I'm starting to lose my breath

I've been scarred and I've hurt some
My apologies to all of them
But true regrets there are none
I would have done it all over again

What if I don’t want to change
Let my eyes see all there is to it
There is to it

Although this might seem to be strange to believe
Take it to your heart when I say
Sometimes I’m better off alone

This is the worst that you’ll get out of me

I've been scarred and I've hurt some
My apologies to all of them
But true regrets there are none
I would have done it all over again


3. ATONEMENT

The clock struck twelve
And as the seconds pass in time
I’m making my way to the end of today
I’ll get to say the fault was mine

Well maybe this might seem to be
Not the smartest path to take
But to me, not staying within
The border is a rule to break.

You lack of persistence

I’ve gained mine through falling down,
And crawling back on my feet

The clock struck twelve
And as the seconds pass in time
I’m making my way to the end of today
I’ll get to say the fault was mine

Being number 1 doesn’t always
Guarantee success
In my point, of view things are a little bit
Different than the way you caress

I am rising from these broken ashes
If you really wanna slow me down
Be prepared for a flood to come

The clock struck twelve

The clock struck twelve
And as the seconds pass in time
I’m making my way to the end of today
I’ll get to say the fault was mine


4. OTHER WAY AROUND

You never needed me like I hoped for in the first place,
Wasn’t that the thought behind it all
Call me whenever you think you might be feeling blue
But on the other hand I never had a chance to do

So do you see what's become of me
I’ve cut the ties this time all the way

So I see now, the reason that you built on me is,
You couldn’t make it on your own

Please step back !

My prediction is that soon from now,
The roles will be turned around, turned around

What if, you stood in my shoes, would you still, give a fuck about me ?

And after all the efforts that I have seen,
I have had enough of your misery,
Even if I try, I can’t get with the fact,
It took so long for me to see

So do you see what's become of me
I’ve cut the ties this time all the way

So I see now, the reason that you built on me is,
You couldn’t make it on your own
The other way around


5. STEP BY STEP

I must have watched, all the stories, again and again
Every movie there is to see, I’ve put it on repeat
Everything turns out fine when the screen goes black
What do I have to do to get my happy end

In the blink of an eye the goal is set
Satisfaction will be hard to get

I was right from the start
There is no such thing as ‘til death do us part

Till death do us part

My vow for all the witnesses to hear,
I hope my faith in love won’t disappear

To leave my hopes behind
Was a part of my mistake
My heart is on the line
It isn’t mine but yours to take

Sometimes I’m hopeless,
The thought of ending up, all alone
Won’t you bet on me, this time

Satisfaction will be hard to get

To leave my hopes behind
Was a part of my mistake
My heart is on the line
It isn’t mine but yours to take


6. WHAT'S BEST FOR US

One thing, meant for ever,
Take it with you, Where you go
One thing, Stay together
When you feel like there is nowhere to go
You must know

We would never be the ones to take you down
No more shadow that's surrounding you
'Cause every time when I look and see you frown
The realisation of what's there to do.

Commiting, to the one that cares most
Which is friendship that will last much longer
Than the most fucked up, relationships
That I have been through, but it made me stronger

Fight your way, through the funnel.
You will notice it's alley's and darkest places.
But there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Staring at a blank page, feeling like a rampage,
No denial

I know, I had to find my own place.
But along the way, I've learned my lessons
Now I found out, blacked out, that it's best for me,
and others, that I should count on those who count on me.

So be prepared to fight through the fire,
And they will do just the same for you
Even in the darkest times if you feel alone
If you feel a brick inside your throat
Just think about this

There will never be an answer to your friends
Which will set them apart from you
Now take a look around, it's just a glance
Of the brightest future in front of you

Now I found out, blacked out, that it's best for me,
And others, that I should count on those who count on me.

Selfishness, is not an option.
Stick to the fucking code.
You're on the second place.
'Cause we'll be there through it all

I would never say a thing that devours you into fucking dust

I will strike you back, anywhere
If you lay your hands on those that care

We would never be the ones to take you down
No more lies, about tales you can't handle
'Cause every time when I look and see you frown
My wall goes down like a candle

There will never be an answer to your friends
Which will set them apart from you
Now take a look around, it's just a glance
Of the brightest future in front of you


7. CHASE THE DREAM

Another journey, to a place you never called home
Don’t look back, to what’s left behind.
It might seem like a road that never ends

You’ve faced so many chances,
But they never made you feel
As you hoped for, dreamed of so long

Bring you passion to the front,
Let it speak for itself
Chase the dream for what you are,
If you really care

Let me be, and build up my dream
This is the way I always wanted it to be
Fuck everything in the past
The future is in my hands now

And the only thing that connects us,
Is we are one, of a kind , inside
Be there to watch me when I’m changing

Another journey, to a place you should have called home
Looking back to what’s left behind,
It was the right choice, the right thing to do

Chase the dream, is what they said

You wish you should have listened,
Ask yourself why the wait took you so long

And the only thing that connects us,
Is we are one, of a kind , inside
Be there to watch me when I’m changing

Chase the dream, is what they said


8. THE ORATOR

I’ve seen this happen all before
It took away, my everything
The realization that the past remains the past

And every second I’m alone it breaks my heart
‘Cause if it was up to me this wouldn’t be so hard

Staring at our memories way too long
way too many times
Would you know that I miss this so fucking much

Would you care
I understand it all takes time for this to heal
But the days seem like years
And the years create a hole inside of me

I may act like I’m fine
‘Cause that is the right thing
But for who and for what cause
Do I sacrifice

My own happiness
I sincerely hope this song will help
While I am tired of the same old song
Let’s put an end to it

I know there are others just like you
And I tried, and I tried
But they’re still not you

I’ve let it happen all before
It took away, my everything
Now is the time to leave it all behind

What if I finally let you go, would it break my heart

No more songs about broken souls
This will be my fucking last
I can feel it, I’m almost sure that
This will be my fucking last


9. SPEAK YOUR HEARTACHE PT. 2

Eversince the first time I saw your smile, your lips
Your eyes looked right through me.
I felt like sinking into a bottomless ocean,
But I’m not afraid to drown in your sea.

Promise to never leave my side of the bed
You keep me from falling, and I will be there to catch you

Shine your light now,
You made me feel so right
But I almost died
When you spoke your heartache

Take your lights down,
You made me feel so right
But I fear the deepest truths
