1. GIVE ME A BREAK

How many times we’ve stumbled before?
Painful with every blow
Nothing I could do
To stop this rant from you

Old dust whirled up I can’t see anymore
Irritating like ever before
Nothing I could do
To stop this speech from you

Give me a break
I’ve heard it a thousand times before
Give me a break
I can’t take this, take this anymore
Give me a break
Some space, I need to breath
Give me a break

Your voice rumbles down, hard to ignore
Repeating what you’ve said before
Nothing I could do
To stop this flood from you

Give me a break
I’ve heard it a thousand times before
Give me a break
I can’t take this, take this anymore
Give me a break
Some space, I need to breath
Give me a break

These voices in my head keep f****** with my mind
Repeating what you said at least a thousand times
In an endless loop you rant on and on and on
I’ve heard enough of it, it’s time to shut you down.


2. SHELTER

Loosing track of what you’re really looking for
Are you’re blinded, blinded by your chore?
Overwhelmed by boundless possibilities
Are you tempted, tempted to peek?
Stay away from depravity
Its bond is not coming for free

Pushing closer to the edge of your control
Are you tempted, tempted to let go?
Of the weight of your responsibility
Where are you going, going from here?
Stand clear of their graceless greed
It’s not worth the indignity

Surrounded by the darkest night
When you’re in need of sparks of fire
A place where you can hide away
I’ll be your shelter
Your defense against the shame

Are you done with chasing popularity?
Who are you trying, trying to be?
To vain the beauty underneath
Are you blinded, blind by jealousy?
Hold on to your wildest dream
It might be for infinity

Surrounded by the darkest night
When you’re in need of sparks of fire
A place where you can hide away
I’ll be your shelter
Your defense against the shame.


3. VOODOO

Waiting for this day to arrive - all life long.
Feel the tension in the air arise - now the time has come.
Invisible but not to deny - Magic frequency is coming in waves to sweep us away.

Do you feel the power of rolling thunders in the dark?
The power of fireballs that hit your heart?
Stronger, brighter than flashing lights!
Voodoo, Voodoo in the air tonight.

Pieces suddenly fall into place - right in front of you.
A master plan designed by fate - to make your dreams come true.
A higher force close to its peak - Cosmic energy is coming in waves to sweep us away.


4. UNLESS YOU TRY

Haunted every night,
While she’s sleeping by your side
Wondering how many sacrifices it takes,
To no longer regret the choices you once made

Haunted in your sleep,
By dreams that are way too real
Showing you how fulfilled your life would be
If you followed your heart and finally chose to break free

If you fall low or fly high
You will never know
If you hit the ground or touch the sky
You will never know
Unless you try

As if your hands are tied,
Blocked by injured pride
Clinging tight to the past you once held dear
It’s time to knock over your self-destructive fears

If you fall low or fly high
You will never know
If you hit the ground or touch the sky
You will never know
Unless you try

As if by closing down,
Reminiscence finally drowned
But everything feels alive your vision gets clear
By standing still your feelings won’t magically disappear.


5. BACK OFF

You tell me you can read my mind
You worry about the way I live my life
You tell me I feel wretched inside – is how I feel

You tell me you know my every thought
You believe my stance is too dearly bought
You tell me I need to dash my hopes – is what I need

You tell me I need to understand
You believe my dream is getting out of hand
You tell me I need to let it go – is what I need

Back off – Keep it to yourself
Get lost – Mess with someone else
Keep out – I never asked for your help
Stay clear from my shit
You can’t handle it.


6. FAVORITE MISTAKE

Every smile is torture
Can’t cope with kindness today
For what we need right now
The backyard floor will do

Shattered into pieces
No need to pick up the mess
Today we’d like to stay
Perfectly destroyed

Why wait – The longer it takes, the harder we break
Too late – to cover the mess, we’re blown by fate
Why wait – too much at stake to hesitate
Too late – to forget about our favorite mistake

The seal is broken
Devastation can’t be undone
There is no turning back
Of what we have become

There’s no denying
We might as well take the chance
And savor every dose
Our chemicals provide

Why wait – The longer it takes, the harder we break
Too late – to cover the mess, we’re blown by fate
Why wait – too much at stake to hesitate
Too late – to forget about our favorite mistake

How to ignore what’s going on?
With all respect there’s nothing wrong (about us)
We cannot help it, it might not be fair
When we collide it sparks a fire.


7. AFTER DARK

Scared of sunlight
When your flaws are shown
Hiding in the shade of dreadful fears

Waiting for darkness
To surround your fraud
Remain in the cave until the time has come

Waiting for the sun to set

Only after dark there’s nothing to lose
In the shelter of the night
Only after dark there’s nothing to prove
Among the creatures of the night
You might win this losing fight

Blooming in blackness
Protected by dense fog
Satisfying any dark demand

Gloomy thunders
Can’t spark a single flame
Heavy secrets taken to your grave

Buried for eternity

Only after dark there’s nothing to lose
In the shelter of the night
Only after dark there’s nothing to prove
Among the creatures of the night
You might win this losing fight

Are you pulled by future? Are you pushed by past?
Do you hold on to memories creeping in from behind?
Are you doomed forever? Are you free at last?
Do you rise like a phoenix and prove that you are one of a kind?


8. DIED

I give in, ‘cause it seems
I will never fit into the world you live in
I close down, but still
Every single word of you crawls under my skin

Hold on, until the pain is gone

I was too blind to see
Nothing’s ever gonna grow on frozen ground
I begin to believe
This bone-chilling cold never thaws

As if you had died
The world turns black, I am paralyzed
As if you had died
The world turns dark, I am petrified

Hold on, until the pain is gone

I won’t speak my mind
'Cause my thoughts are way too nuts to mention out loud
I stand by to see
How your house of cards slowly crumbles down

Lies you told
Pain you caused
Tears you brought
Lines you crossed
Hopes abused
And feelings bruised
All comes back to you

As if you had died
The world turns black, I am paralyzed
As if you had died
The world turns dark, I am petrified
Hold on, until the pain is gone.


9. YOU

Going in back in time over and over again
Trying to find a way to understand
How something so good came to an end
Since you are gone the days pass me by
You caught me cold, you took me by surprise
You left me speechless, l can’t make a sound

Since you, you
Since you are gone
I swear the world stopped turning, time stands still
Since you, you
Since you are gone

Was it something that I’ve said or done?
How did you hide what’s messing with your mind?
Thought we were everlasting, I thought we were strong
To this day can’t find a reason why
My mind is blank, my feet still off the ground
Nothing I can do, I’m lost without you

Since you, you
Since you are gone
I swear the world stopped turning, time stands still
Since you, you
Since you are gone

You were my life, my everything, my home, part of my identity
Now that you’ve gone, you’re leaving me paralyzed
When did you stop believing in us? What made you turn away?
Was there a chance I could have made you stay?
