I lose my grip on reality. It is hard to stay calm when no one is able to see, The marks I have left on my way into the light. I am without a trace trapped in the deep of the night. I am stranded here With nobody near Shunned by the world Spend my life in fear Just Scarred to disappear I am out of sight And out of mind I search for my place in a world which is divided. But nothing is left for me and no one gives a damn about it. Just one of a million – Is this all I can be? Don’t lay me down to sleep when there is more to see

The Cave 02:37
I have put the blame on the world For every time that I have got hurt You could have left me to my fate Instead of carrying all the weight My mind is in a dark place Save my soul – I fall from grace I have been busy to lick my own wounds I haven’t seen that I have ruined you day in & out You could have left me to my fate Instead of carrying all the weight My mind is in a dark place Save my soul – I fall from grace You could have left me to my fate Instead of carrying all the weight I haven’t been fair on you The only one that has been true Fooled myself – Hit the ground But you have stuck around You could have left me to my fate Instead of carrying all the weight

Bare My Soul 02:18
I haven’t stepped onto this path alone But I have to finish it on my own At first your words have inspired me Now they remind me of who I’ll never be I have stared into the abyss many times As much as I have looked into your eyes As soon as our love will cease I will disappear piece by piece As soon as our love will cease I will disappear piece by piece I can’t get my shit together But this is now or never
4.
I haven’t figured it out yet Can’t tell when hypocrites become a threat I am in the belief that it is all fine Isn’t a smile a good sign? I have been chewed up and spit out Left a bad taste in your mouth You have pushed me around I won’t lick my own wounds You keep the upper hand I won’t kneel down You speak with a forked tongue Try to entice the young To follow your wicked path It just fuels my wrath I won’t kneel down I draw the line there But where do you, where?
5.
You’re the one who is dogged by bad luck And it grows like a tree which is planted in your chest Because when it rains it pours And you’ve always pulled at locked doors You’ve raised your hopes too high Admit that you were born low But every coin has two sides It’s up to you which one you will show It’s up to you which one you will show Life is struggle and will never change It’s all about to make ends meet Even if it appears that all is lost Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

Lethargy 01:56
The reek of thousand years Sticks in clothes and on hands The sons die before the fathers Cos they can’t breathe in this waste land What you don’t know Won’t hurt you The end comes slow This world gives us our due Everything had gone well So let sleeping dogs lie As soon as the cracks begin to show It will collapse in a blink of an eye What you don’t know Won’t hurt you The end comes slow This world gives us our due What you don’t know Won’t hurt you The end comes slow This world gives us our due Learn from mistakes Just to repeat them
7.
Cast Off 02:28
Nothing ventured, nothing gained I won’t stay on memory lane I want to chase the wildest dreams And hope to find myself on the way Is my life as hollow as it seems? I won’t get an answer if I stay Nothing ventured, nothing gained I won’t stay on memory lane One thing is for certain I want to live a life of purpose I am surrounded by nothing But something detains me My feet are not moving I am my own worst enemy Nothing ventured, nothing gained I won’t stay on memory lane

Look what they have done to my soul, When they’ve sucked out all the spirit and took over control. Pushed into the corner there’s just one way to go. I don’t hang my head if misery is below. You try to impose your mind set on me. You beat a dead horse – I know who I want to be. All I can lose is my head. As long as my heart is beating I am far away from being dead. I refuse it I don’t need it I won’t admit if I can’t feel it Thrown into a world full of hell They try to keep me under their spell I’ll walk my path til’ the end With no help of the devils hand I refuse it I don’t need it I won’t admit if I can’t feel it
9.
I try to keep the wolf from the door In my pockets there is nothing to grasp Hard times try to hold me back These times are like a plague The heaviest weight Won’t let me suffer less The heaviest weight I’m a hell of a mess The hand that feeds Is the one which gives the strap I try to hide it But this house can’t keep a secret The heaviest weight Won’t let me suffer less The heaviest weight I’m a hell of a mess Lay down with the reaper He offers a world of no pain Because down on this earth I can’t feel my self-worth The heaviest weight Won’t let me suffer less The heaviest weight I’m a hell of a mess
10.
Too Short 03:11
There is a place I claim that you’ve offered to the world. Your heart is blindfolded but you’re not even concerned Of what you have become and why does it hurt. Give me a reason to hold on – just one honest word. You say it will all remain – But you try to numb the pain The bond we’ve forged is now more like a shackle. Should I abandon the ship when everything is so fragile? The one I see doesn’t fit the one that I used to know. Tell me, when will your true colors show? You say it will all remain – But you try to numb the pain My arms are too short to keep you tight My arms are too short to keep you tight My arms are too short to keep you tight. A frightening end is better than endless fright.
