we are lost in life like everybody’s lost in time you are talking of salvation while i am is lost in translation you may kill my consciousness until you are finally fed but who may judge me anyway when I'm already dead so much regrets, for what´s ex, for what´s next, for what ever has been i've been left, hearts are cleft, this is theft, let you walk away but i don't remember the last time, i felt right, a fake smile, a short night. but i don't remember the last time, i felt right, a fake smile, a short night. i am drunk on the sidewalk you are sick of the small talk we both know that love is cheap as long as we don´t fall asleep and you know and i know we both know that i´m scared and you know and i know we both know that you will care we are lost in life like everybody’s lost in time you are talking of salvation while i am lost in translation you may kill my consciousness until you are finally fed but who may judge me anyway when I'm already dead i am drunk on the sidewalk you are sick of the small talk we both know that love is cheap as long as we don´t fall asleep so much regrets, for what´s ex, for what´s next, for what ever has been i've been left, hearts are cleft, this is theft, let you walk away but i don't remember the last time, i felt right, a fake smile, a short night. but i don't remember the last time, i felt right, a fake smile, a short night.

Home 02:27
seeing nothing but disgust life gone wrong no need to stay no place to be everybody caged in despair wrecked fate, endless hate eye of the east clamped on trivia not to drown it´s the only straw the only score the hardest lot, being desolate caught in a steady plot no chance of recovery heaven is grey, air is cold this is nothing but the place called home the hardest lot, being desolate caught in a steady plot no chance of recovery heaven is grey, air is cold this is nothing but the place called home

we were so young, our minds so pure every conviction we lived we would die for times have changed our minds remained choose a life of suppression ended up in depression cause the life you chose is the life you lose now you are weak and old, forgot everything you were replaced us, replaced everything now you are weak and old, forgot everything you were replaced us, replaced everything today you stand in line with the ones we are born to despise i just want you to remember today you stand in line with the ones we are born to despise i just want you to remember cause the life you chose is the life you lose today you stand in line with the ones we are born to despise i just want you to remember

Rash 04:13
so sick so sick so sick of what makes me hate i have lost myself in the herd of the dumb so sick so sick so sick of the human race if they are not blind, they have to be numb cause no matter what you do you will never make it out, make it out, make it out and no matter what you do you´ll never lose those doubts, lose those doubts, lose those doubts so sick so sick so sick of what makes me hate I have lost myself in the herd of the dumb so sick so sick so sick of the human race if they are not blind, they have to be numb i have been left on the path of frustration deeply buried in a state of stagnation Wer ist die scheiß afd junge ich kenn nur alles für die gang straßenslang click click bang junge keine kompromisse nichts zu akzeptieren und deine fascho fotzen freundin erwartet mich auf allen vieren doch junge ich bleib unbeeindruckt und in harter streitsucht baller ich nach dresden, pegida polizeischutz. der king aus berlin kommt im v8, ballert deine slut, kommt im v8, weißer stolz gute nacht. und du kommst von der demo wieder und du bist voll erschrocken. beide beine auf dem esstisch, deine mum am kochen. deine kurwa neben dir geplagt von verlustängsten, deutscher stolz gebrochen wie nach ner nacht mit paar mustanghengsten. geschockt und kreidebleich sind deine beine am versagen und du fragst dich nur ey wie kann er es wagen. punks in sportwagen. die neuf milimete durchgeladen. dein leben zu ficken ist alles was ich will, das ist hier der rote faden. you are running in circles in a shithole of life your ignorance and fatuity is what makes you survive cause your mind is week and your leaders are pathetic but you´ll do what they say you are disgusting, diarrhetic i despite you that’s why i hate i despite you fucking scum

Empty Hands 04:25
i´m surrounded by dead bodies neither able to move nor to feel damned souls float through the air trying to find a purpose, but don´t know where they are stuck in their life long agony damned souls tumble through society afraid to lose a life / you will never have missed your chance in time / empty hands pale corpses try to find their way of least resistance there is no place for humanity in a world of distance afraid to lose a life / you will never have missed your chance in time / empty hands pale corpses try to find their way of least resistance there is no place for humanity in a world of distance afraid to lose a life / you will never have missed your chance in time / empty hands

All We Have 03:50
is this a free live or are we just pieces in a game guided by elected leaders placed from left to right no chance to defend free me break away the chains make me find a way feel free, feel secure let me be again years go by and rivers run dry and I will see what I have when the lights fade free me break away the chains make me find a way feel free, feel secure let me be again we take it back we take it back this is all we have

A Lost Heart 03:25
i take your life cause you gave up yourself one foot in in self-pity, the other in hell the last boat left its port, it´s out of sight drowned in memories, no regrets on your mind you have left everything, that ever mattered at all throw away your simple mind, there is no mercy to call now this is what I call the truth, no false games, you used to be a part of me, I remember in shame taken by a stranger’s hand, guided to world of fears now It´s too late for your sorrow, have to endure your tears a lost heart / and a broken neck that´s everything what / remains on your back you have left everything, that ever mattered at all throw away your simple mind, there is no mercy to call now this is what I call the truth, no false games you used to be a part of me, i remember in shame

Tired Eyes 03:49
take what you want take what you need i don´t hold on to anything anymore don´t waste a doubt satisfy your greed you won´t regret anything after all nothing more to give nothing more to lose that´s the way you want it it´s the way you chose so take your awful life i´m sure you feel the cold wave this will be your demise let it drag you to your grave to your grave you built yourself a cage trapped without all perspective you are stuck in endless rage you burned the last page so take your awful life i´m sure you feel the cold wave this will be your demise let it drag you to your grave to your grave take what you want take what you need i don´t hold on to anything anymore don´t waste a doubt satisfy your greed you won´t regret anything after all now in the end you see how far you´ve come have you satisfied your greed the things you sow are the things you reap you´re never sure true or false started to believe your own lies nothing left than tired eyes true or false your own lies tired eyes
