Better

I better think before I talk
I better not stumble as I walk
I better not get into this pain again
And realize that you're not here anymore
And you get sunshine after rain
And it takes time to kill the pain
And you can walk through another door
And realize that you're not here anymore
The pain is here that eats your soul
And you just cannot let it go away
Where do you have to go
Come on and let it all
Be set in stone and left behind
And left becomes right and darkness is brighter

Anyone Else

one day you learn what this talking was all about
one day you learn what they really meant
you can be anyone you've ever wanted to be
anyone else but yourself
and then you see what it's like when they say to you
the freedom's only about to be dead
cause you can be anyone they'd ever want you to be
anyone else but yourself
CHORUS:
let it go, let go into your head
all you know is only what you have been fed
let it show - the look in your eyes full of pride
let it flow - a part of them lives in your mind (yes it does)
so get along with such a sad story
you're just a boy who wants to be praised
who could be anyone they'd ever want you to be
anyone else, but yourself
CHORUS

Broken
03:53

Put yourself on a hold now
Everything that you have - just go and throw it away
Take a ride on the dark side,
It doesn't matter how low,
Just go, go, go, go.
Over and over
You gotta cut yourself to learn how bad it can get.
It's just around corner,
So do you wanna go there
Or would you slip away
Way too low to dare, to hope,
To make your plans and to believe in
Broken gods and broken dreams
Nothing to lose,
But would it set you free?
And you know you can't fail now,
Nothing can go wrong - it doesn't get any worse
You took a ride on the dark side
And it's a depth so low, low, low, low, low
Who do you love now?
Who do you think of now, when there is no one around
You come and take it all over
Because there's no better place, and nothing's left in the way
Way too low to dare, to hope,
To make your plans and to believe in
Broken gods and broken dreams
Nothing is here, nothing is clear
Way too low to dare to hope
To make a plan and to believe it
Broken gods and broken dreams
Nothing to lose,
So would it set you free?
It's when you see you're winning nothing
Or you're just too blind to see
Any way to make it happen
But you know it's meant to be
Know it's meant to be

Chip Chop
04:23

they push you down to check if you would care to stand up
and after you refuse to - there has to be nothing (left of you)
and on and on - they approach you with charming requests
and make it quick 'cause they want it to be made in a week ... or something
chip chop chip
they push you down to know if you would start to protest
but you don't know what it's like, cause you're so fucking obedient
and even when you drown, you know, you're not to be helped
you're not alone but this raft is not to be left (so, sail on, plankton)
chip chop chip
CHORUS:
sometimes you wish you were dead
and you get all sick ideas in your head
and sometimes you rather be mad
cause they like you, cause they like you like that
they push you down so hard - you cannot push yourself up
but these are hands that feed so there are bones to be thrown too
eventually, they say, you might get a longer lead (gotta get something to cheer yourself up)
but you just want it (all) to stop. stop it right here.
stop it right now

i want to make you let it out
want you to set it free
i want to see you move apart
or take a part of me
and don't you want me to take you out
or better take you home
and get it all right here
and get it all right here and right now
let it go, let it go
enough of seek and hide and...
and it will blow, and it will blow my mind
or break my heart and...

Fall Apart
04:16
|
|||
|
just another day to start to worry
just another day to feel the pain
suddenly i feel like i am sorry
even though i am not the one to blame
going round in circles
get it done and ask for more
day by day gets wasted
its not a problem anymore
I've got to fall apart
now I shouldn’t even start
to think about the day when it didn’t matter
giving it away like it'd be the last one
now you've got to fall apart
was it on the first day when i saw you?
when i didnt even know your name?
suddenly i felt my eyes are open
sudennly i felt im on my way
going round in circles
get it done and ask for more

Inside My Shell
06:16
|

|
i lay in my head
you stay away until it's dead
i only want you to be inside my shell
i only want you down, down, down
oh, say, i'm your pride
my subconsciousness doesn't lie (is a liar)

Make You Hurt
04:08
|

|
isolation ain't no good for no one,
get abused by someone above
they say you can be whatever you want,
but nothing's gonna change if you don't
go on on your own,
try to get along
they're so beautiful
you're not
here we go
chorus:
they say they're never gonna let you down,
never gonna make you hurt
get somebody who would tell you - you don't
always get whatever you want
every time you try to do it - it hurts
yeah, it's making you hurt
go on on your own,
try to get along
you're so beautiful
they're not
here we go
chorus
get so sick and tired of being alone
give it up whenever you want
being afraid to lose is just an excuse,
yeah, it's just an excuse
go on on your own,
try to get along
you're so beautiful
i'm not
here we go
chorus

Over and Out
03:04
|

|
had enough of keeping it down
I just want to hold on the line
drink it up and fall on the floor,
just don’ t wanna hold it anymore
had enough of trying to be
someone else, i tried to ignore myself!
real wrong
there's something going on, there's something going on
real wrong
there's something going on right now
let it go, don't let it go round
what you feel is not what you see, oh no
love is blind and so is your hate
it's only in your head, now, let it go
CHORUS
don't you know your pain's only growing
if you're letting it so.
have a look around don't you notice -
none is what you've been told.
so many times it was about
to get out of control.
over and out, i'm better off.
better off all by my own
to get you sober right now

Patience
02:47
|

|
i'm not talking love but the patience
for the love alone ain't enough
you break your back, your neck
just to make it
you crack your bones to make things go right
love is not enough you to pray for
love is juice of life dripping out
cause everything that's around tries to break you
your teeth are crumbled your blood's watered-down
but nothing's gonna make you feel low
even if you're shattered and blown
but love to be, yeah, love to be gone
like a morning star at the dawn
CHORUS:
'cause when you feel you may not make it
it's when your love starts spinning down
you gotta feed your heart with patience
got to feel like made of stone to keep it right and go round

Ain't Enough
05:24
|

|
gone
the time to hesitate is gone
you're down on your knees 'cause you know
this time it'll be enough 'cause
you've done what you've done
and you've got what you've got
and you know
there will never be another go
it's raining outside
and you know,
you will never get a chance
cause you've got enough,
and enough is enough
but ain't never
never enough of this war
