do you believe in actions when nature gets its revenge
I feel I'm so out of patience - so many signs and too many left-behinds
you placed your bets on this eternal rage
bring all the fire and burn those bridges
why can't you see that the time that you fear is already here
your voice sets them free
but the less you will act you’ll reach the four stages of misery
couldn't cope with them around
too much of nothing and not enough time
soulless and egocentric
do what you want but not around me
why can't you see that the time that you fear is already here
your voice sets them free
but the less you will act you’ll reach the four stages of misery
wait, I'm still learning
don't keep yourself in the dark on the edge of your path
now wait, I'm still burning
save us from the fire and we'll run away from the flood

Information Blackout

potemkin-style tours hide the awful truth
long live the nightmare - it's coming after you
I wonder who's the extremist here?
it's just a face with an evil voice
all lies that will tell that she's gone
no hope - no contact
internment camps took away your loved ones
re-education masked all of your freedom
and placed your heart to a dark place of tears
what kind of monster keeps this going on?
shackled by the legs and arms
no right to choose
minorities are left with scars
it's like 1984
I wonder who's the extremist here?

Distract and Digress

these times are sick it's like living a fiction
written by the worst author there is
here is another shitty chapter in which we all drown
justify digression or fucking don't
I could never be like you - your time is running out
unless the bill gets paid
the way you play your cards wrong
I am done of explaining myself to you
and the reasons that are yet to unfold
I need a time of my own
a part of you, a part of me
but we are still like different species
I could never be like you - your time is running out
and the righteous people burn
but we fall behind - how can it be like this?
sometimes I feel like I could tear every mountain apart
enough to make the skies crumble
the way you play your cards wrong
I am done of explaining myself to you
and the reasons that are yet to unfold I need a time of my own
the righteous people burn
but we fall behind

Shit show among the people
The demographic shows we're done
Look at the greed grow
What was trickled down?
I guess we don't have to watch for our heads
Or even look for our souls from this mud
Like father like son
Or so they say
I think this is more than I can handle
It's more than I can handle
I'm far off derailed
This train stopped 50 years ago
You created this game
Whose game is it now?
Does this concern real life?
Now you'll get hurt
When you are a number
What does it even mean?
I guess we don't have to watch for our heads
Or even look for our souls from this mud
Like father like son
Or so they say
All this time I kept you in disguise
Well, boo hoo

You Are Free To Go
03:00

Waking up horrified I ran downstairs
Just to find an empty stare, an empty shell
Scratching at the door when you want company
Innocent and harmless, true and caring until the end
You found your place where you would lay down
It was like you didn't know me anymore
But I still meet you in my dreams
Don't let those ghosts crush you down
Until this day if your mind is down just hold on tight
Too much has gone unnoticed
Why do we act like this?
If even this won't wake you up
I have to spell it out for you
You found your place where you would lay down
It was like you didn't know me anymore
But I still meet you in my dreams
Don't let those ghosts crush you down
Until this day if your mind is down just hold on tight
You are free to go
You are free to go

Dry Out

it'll take my whole life to find out what makes me more sick
dry out, dry us out again
organized crime on people's health - dividends trample the poor
dry out, dry us out again
markets don't care - investors don't care
you will pay and we'll keep sailing on our own

I can't believe the things I see - every stare is after me
I try to cope without control and on my knees I pray
take the pain away - but I hear nothing
this is a plague for a bitter end
I'm going in before the sunlight goes down - we are here to stay
take the pain away - now I hear something across the wind
it said you're someone and no one will take that away
go far beyond, go far beyond
don't wait for no one and feel regrets
go far beyond and just keep climbing
just keep climbing
burn the bridges in our minds - exit signs they will light up
and we'll run away from here - getting closer to a brighter day
take the pain away - now I got answers
go far beyond, go far beyond
don't wait for no one and feel regrets
go far beyond and just keep climbing
just keep climbing

generations with timeless woes
the future's not looking better with this weak acceptance
the lies they bought with no fucking thought
now the cold wind blows to the fascist face
we will not be struck down now
generations with timeless woes
the future's not looking better with this weak acceptance
don't you recognize the thieves?
pay the price and you're in debt while the others' lies become
another empty promise again - and they decide who's wrong
as the minds of the children cry - we deny the one cold truth
that their lives have been destroyed from now on
still you deny the one cold truth: it could have been you
as another leaf turns it's a fucking joke
no sympathy for mankind at all
among these liars and these leftovers: a total fraud
the lies they bought with no fucking thought
pay the price and you're in debt while the others' lies become
another empty promise again - and they decide who's wrong

turn that feed away from your screen
I'm tired of this hate - no time for this age
they crawl out from the caves
shut the door and get your fists up
know how it feels when you're disconnected?
no one remembers what we still got
I can assure you it feels fucking great
shit the followers will come up and feast on to extinction
a battleground for a new oppression
they crawl out from the caves
shut the door and get your fists up
know how it feels when you're disconnected?
no one remembers what we still got
I can assure you it feels fucking great
or is it just me? what have we become?
an army of boredom
it's not that you don't matter anymore
it's not that I don't care
stop building on hate and false desire
the rest is just up to you
stop building on hate
don’t forget you’re not the only one
in the end you might be a fearful soul
but don't forget you're not the only one

And The Crowd Roars

you're quite a rebel but there's no thought in your head
I’m not coming with you I still got something to say
and even if you tried you'd fall back on your place
well, time is rhythm
no time on my hands, just fear of each other
no pleasure or pain - not quite as it should've been
and if we rise we are still tied to our road
why aren't we walking away?
destination's not a way to go
promise me a lie that'll keep me awake
but what have I still got to lose?
if I could find a reason to witness all this
then I would look up to the sky
it's coming down now

I Am Not Here
03:47

that’s it I’m going home - but I can’t move
feel the pressure in my chest
what is this feeling?
I am not here
at least that’s what I say to myself
I am not here
I choose to not take part in
this pile of shit or whatever it is
when reality is broken - does it really matter?
above it all controlling the nightmare
ending the fear when no one is watching
above it all - that’s where I am from this day
but can you hear my call?
to an endless river
let’s take the boat out
times like these
won’t take the life out of me
do you know where you’re going? do you know?
I am not here
at least that’s what I say to myself
I am not here
when reality is broken - it doesn’t really matter
I am not here - take me where I belong
I am not here - and you are not there
is this how it all ends?
not if we tear it down first

Wipe The Slate Clean
05:05

of all the millions - this is all you got?
so many better options poured down the drain
just egos and their deaf ears
just when you thought you've heard it all
you find about people who think that radio
networks transmit viruses
infected species and the bodies burn
could it be that we need a change?
I can see it fall apart - too much talk without a thought
I can see it fall apart - all of this time is gone
a test of our patience - or an idiotic way to end it all
either way some things need to change
infected species and the bodies burn
could it be that we need a change?
I can see it fall apart - too much talk without a thought
I can see it fall apart - all of this time is gone
wipe the slate clean
