1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. AGAINST THE TIDE

Barbwire's tightening 'round my neck...
Before long, I can't breathe
Holding all my despair in check
in this world, I can't live
It's time to move on !

This life is killing me,
I woke up one day with this thought
I'm not where I'm supposed to be,
between wisdom and fleeting youth
Too old to be young, too young to be old
Smiling is too much for me
Now memories thronged in my mind
I must take back control of my life

I crossed the line
Against the tide
Follow me or Forget me
No more time to burn

Dreaming is a waste of time
You just have to rise and shine
Now give vent to your anger
Do you feel like a bulldozer ?

I don't remember when
my life has become such a mess
Always following them...
what society dictates, I guess
I have given my best
Why do I feel like a living dead ?
I get it off my chest
All I want it's some happiness

Move out of my way
I will destroy everything that makes me sick
It's time to break with the past and rebuild my life
No more daily grind
Let me speak my mind
I wanna feel alive
Think on my own, ain't be a pawn

I crossed the line / Against the tide / Follow my path / Forget your past
Now rise and shine!


3. MISLED YOUTH

Have I become so old?
Kids are growing up too fast
Now I really feel what's called
'Generation gap' at last
I'm shocked to make this speech
that my parents hammered home
I used to be like this
then I learned what they'd like to pass down

Kids I know that life is short
but just live at your own pace
Time goes fast and for the worst
Life is not a fucking race

So take your time
Don't you pretend
To be someone else
This is a big mistake

Trust me I'm not so old
But my time has gone too fast
All the best years of my life
Now do belong to my past
Do not run like those people
It's a complete waste of time
You're digging your own hole
Instead of finding ways to shine

So take your time
Don't you pretend
To be someone else
This is a big mistake
So take your time
Stop acting like someone else
Live for yourself
And enjoy youth before it fades

Live for yourself and at your fucking pace
Live at your fucking pace
It's not a fucking race

I know you run after
Something called liberty
In the end what matters
Is your integrity


4. GET BACK IN TOUCH

It's about loss...
This is for all my friends To those whose paths I've crossed
With whom I shared those memories
And have gone through this mess
No matter the fucking cost
We were there for each other
Wishing it'd last forever
I couldn't imagine life without you by side
You gave me confidence you inspired me so much
But for now everything is lost

I still believe we can go back
Just how could such friends like these
Can turn gold into that shit?
I still believe we can go back
Get back in touch when friendship seems to be gone

And i'm still asking why did we drop this life?
We stopped hanging out with no fucking reason why
Maybe shitty ones too proud to forgive or to apologize
And that's why everything was lost

Now I take the lead cause I can no longer wait
Such a waste of time between hate and hate
No more regrets now it's time to reconnect
I make a move it's never too late it's never too late
Would you forgive me
Get back in touch
