Backbite

These days i often ask myself: "what`s the big deal 'bout the truth?
is it that hard to keep it real, too difficult to stay true?"
Indeed sometimes, just big words, when a lie comes along
But old friend what really helped me out was to think before i talk
So buddy can't you see our respect is dead and gone
Killed by this desease called backbiting someone
So friend let's stick together to negotiate this shit
Take my helping hand when you fall into a pit
Backbite, backbite - everything we get is hate and disrespect
Backbite, backbite - everything we need is to share and to connect
We've come a long way and a long way still to go
Lot i've learned, not so much i really know
But one thing is for sure, i had to realize
that it's all on me and it's my own choice
It's my own decision, i better make it right
Think about the consequences (introspect)
Again and again, day by day
To evolve myself seems to be the right way

Point Of Safe Return

I'm a so called victim of your so called financial crisis
Do you want to know what I really think?
You just try to put me in my place
I said...
I'm a so called victim of your so called financial crisis
Do you want to know what I really think?
You just try to put me in my place
In fact you watch me stumbling
Falling, then crawling around
But when I try to get back on my knees
you keep on striking me down
I tried my best, tried to impress
Worked real hard, did my part
No one ever had to complain
There was no fucking I in my team
Always on time, I was always right
But I had to realize that I'm out of sight
When you're out of sight, than you're out of mind
and when you're out of mind, than you're out of right
We've passed this point of safe return
And we will never look back over our shoulder
where we came along
We've passed this point of safe return
This point of safe return

In Denial

My so called friend
Was it all just empty words or just lies instead?
Don’t you remember our pledge for eternity?
Throughout the years we’ve been through thick and thin
So please cease to pretend everything’s ok
We’re both in denial, playing a role
It seems time has taking its fucking toll
Your wrong’s my right and my right is your wrong
So let's face the facts, we should let it go
Tried my best to grasp and comprehend
I’ve given up cause you never give in
Your wrong’s my right and my right is your wrong
The bond is broken and the trust is gone
You’re a stranger to me
Shadow of a person that i used to know
Where did we go wrong?
Searching for an answer way too long
The wish for a solution
finally leads me to this one conclusion
Readiness to confess and to compromise
If we won't get it right, it's time to realize
I'm sick of runnin' in circles,
constant arguments and same old conversations
In Denial...

It is true!
You've got one life but you've got more decisions
You can change your mind that's what i call living
No one should force you to subject yourself to his rules
And no one should tell you how to feel
See through!
Don`t get me wrong
No disrespect at all
I appreciate your call
But i think there is so much more
Preaching about unity and the strength of the masses
Always talking about loyalty and the clash of the classes
But i can`t see any changes, i can`t feel any difference
It seems to be the same business and just the mask is a different one
Don't get me wrong
A different one
Don't get me
Just the mask's a different one

Fairytale

This is my tale on the continous changes in a decade of mindwaste
Once upon a time...
A little girl`s grey gentlemen transformed to tv-stations
Spreading all around the world, gorging any creative urge
Broadcast mental intoxication just to dumb down a whole nation
She missed her last exit to nowhere
No way out!
She`s not supposed to go further than she knows
She`s not supposed to go further on her own
She`s not supposed to go further than she`s known
She`s not supposed go further on her own
Once meant to happy end is now just gone with the wind
Once meant to never end is now just gone with the wind
and took all the secrets we found in
She can`t grow old when her stories not told
She`s dying young with her imagination
Don`t let her die, because her life depends on us
And how we do and how we feel is all up to us
And up to our childhood...
It's her childhood...
It`s our childhood...
It`s our childhood and we`ll never live it again

Inconsequence

Broke it so many times, the promise that I made to myself
To stop this drabness in my life
but it’s the same old story time after time
Waking up in the afternoon on the filthy floor in a strangers room
With an empty purse and I wonder why
How did I get here? What happened last night?
Another shot to drown the pain
Another smoke to bear the taste
I hate being dumb and drunk and not my fucking self
Talking shit, can’t set it right
It turns into a useless fight
I hate being someone else but not my fucking self
Out again next Friday night to have some fun without getting high
But the party sucks and i'm getting bored, I can’t take it anymore
It’s up to me...
It’s up to you...
It's up to us...
To make a change, put words into action
There's noone else to blame
We all have our vices in one way or another
Stupid human beings that will never learn
What's the stories moral, the index finger?
I guess that there is none
We've all passed this point of safe return
But fact of the matter is
I just hate being so inconsequent

Think
03:11

What do you think? What is really happening?
You go to heaven or you rott for your sins?
Or does it even matter? What do you really think?
Just take a step back and think of a few facts
I`m not trying to distract but i try to get things straight
When we look at it, logically
Violence and brutality won`t lead us to ascending days
Your holy sacret scriptures
Where never ment to opress your brothers and sisters
Not more than a proposal solution
Not to legitimize murder, but for (r)evolution
What do you think? What is really happening?
You go to heaven or you rot for your sins?
Or does it even matter? What do you really think?
To follow deaf leadership with blind obedience
Is like your head against a brick wall
and no way to change direction
You don`t set the course but you`re already willing to enforce
Whatever is told or written down
in a language extinctet long ago
Or not even written down
cause no one was fucking able to
Any higher beeing,
Every entity, you said
Created us, gave us identity
Any of them put his complete trust in any of us
So we should really improve our ethical and moral standards
Cause any of them will refuse entry to any of us
If we don`t understand to learn and think instead of blind trust
Think!

Doubts

From your first breath
There's always someone tryin` to tell you what to do
What's good for you
That you're fool, a dreamer
who's building castles in the air ain't going nowhere
Your parents, the teachers or even your friends
Just let them talk man, you've got nothing to prove
Do what you think is right, what's on your mind
Stay on track and solely prove to yourself
So don't let, don't let them tell you what you can't do
Don't let, don't let 'em tell you - don't let 'em tell you
Don't let, don't let them tell you what you can't do
And don't let, don't let 'em tell you that you won't make it
There will be setbacks, let downs and moments of self-doubt
Never let em` drag you down cause those are part of life
Turn it around, from weakness into strength
These lessons will help to learn from your mistakes
and make you resistible, the person that you are
Reinforce your views and personality
Keep chasing the dream, don't give up
Rather try and fail than livin' in regret
Don't let, don't let them tell you what you can't do
Don't let, don't let 'em tell you - don't let 'em tell you
Don't let, don't let them tell you what you can't do
And don't let, don't let 'em tell you that you won't make it
They will never understand what you're fighting for
You picked the stony way
But it's just a nudge get rollin' all these stones
Shake off the doubts stuck deep inside your head...
(Shake 'em off)
Just believe in yourself
With hard work, ambition and confidence
Be the master of your own fate
You can do what you want if you give it all
So just follow your heart and shake off all your doubts

Adjust The Standard

Grimestained like your local campaign
Your ken reveals to me as foolish as the matter you fight
Or utilize? Who cares?
No respect for respectless worried parents
My pain in such moments you complain
Your heresy in front of your own child
grows inside, makes me wild
No respect for your perspective
Old line, true blue, enemy
Relentless struggling for your needs
Just finding rest in my demise
Two face you're wasting your time
My answer still remains the same
and you're just another step to paradise
Come out, come out wherever you are
This world's in need to know why this debate seems so
Strung out, strung out you wanna bring it to me
I'll smash it to pieces to adjust the standard
Another phrase, another face
Of a scared one tryin' to explain
why it's such a disgrace
The fear of aids, linked with gays
Motherfucker please stay safe
And please don't reproduce youself
if you still believe in heaven/hell
Divinity our childrens cancer
i'm so sick of this double standard
Old line, true blue, enemy
Relentless struggling for your needs
Just finding rest in my demise
Two face you're wasting your time
My answer still remains the same
cause you're just another step to paradise
And now stop!
I've heard enough of your tries to villainize
my brothers and my sisters
Countless impacts with our peace of mind
won't be reprieved, no matter what your dogma taught you
Icon, dycon, dragqueen, friend
it's time for us to make it end
Equality no longer faked
Now it's time once and for all
to smash your scruples to the wall
Break through, destroy and recreate
Come out, come out wherever you are
This world's in need to know
why this debate seems so
Strung out, strung out you wanna bring it to me
I'll smash it to pieces to adjust the standard
To adjust the standard...
Adjust this double standard

Piece Of Me
03:12

These words, they sound so familiar to me
You speak the truth, but truth can hurt (again and again)
Left alone with this mess in my head
that feels so invincible, so overwhelming
You can't control or stop what comes from the heart
Tell me how to cope with this exhausting state of mind
in which we find ourselves?
When there is no one to blame in this vicious circle we can't carry on?
I'm an open book to you, one of those who can read between the lines
But it seems this tale's already told
with the same old story on a different page
Forget, forgive, let go
In the end you're better off alone
Brighter days are bout' to come and time will heal the wounds
Confide, believe, restart
Listen to reason, draw a line to make it stop
But that doesn't change a thing on all my thoughts
and what you mean to me
I wonder when i will think straight?
And realise some things will never change
You may never feel the same, give me what i'm longing for
But there are these moments of intense purity and happiness
Keeps me waiting, hanging on
this thin line between biterness and hope
Forget, forgive, let go
Maybe we're better off alone
Brighter days are bout' to come and time will heal the wounds
Confide, believe, restart
This connection, i won't let it fall apart
To the one i did expose my innermost
You own that piece of me
You need me as i need you...
Try my best just like you...
These ups and downs we've been through...
If this ain't love i found comfort in pain
So how should we go on?
Why does it feel so wrong?
To go seperate ways and leave it behind
All i want is certainty it's the best for you and me
But if you ever need me i'll be there
You own that piece of me
Got the best of me
You'll own that piece of me eternally

The Reason
03:09

Who pays the piper calls the tune
You better learn that lesson soon
No matter how you act or whatever you do
Don`t let false hope fool you
We all grew up and put our trust
in the fact that we would get famous
Anti-social media branded us
and MTV did the rest
Every single tear
Wasted here
Every drop of blood
and beeing in a sweat,
It all stands for a reason
that made you go this far
That reason's just believing in
the one you are
But every single tear, wasted here
Because of every single tear, wasted here
