Cause 04:12
CAUSE I) I define myself in what I mean to you ‘Cause I could run its not what I was meant to do To escape it all to leave it all behind Division of decisions not one on my mind Bridge But I stay thanks to you It's what I should’ve done in the first place I didn't stay but found a way to keep me save But I stay thanks to you It's what I should have done in first place A way to keep me save Chorus Here it comes here is the point of inflection It‘s myself I am the only cause of infection II) Long ago when we sat on the swing in the park You asked how I could want to break us apart So bridges burnt to the ground I wasn't searching but found A way to get my mind back to the ground

Conversation 05:09
CONVERSATION I) Stop hold on and wait for it to Start you said to me I am the one who has to Take it all and keep it in Hold it back just don't try to put up with This indisposition this pain in my head I don't think there's another solution at hand PreChorus Having a quiet conversation with myself and I Keep my distance until I got The certainty I have to let you go Chorus I'm taking control And stand up for my actions To bring an end to this goddamn rejection Beginning to see all The things that rip me apart Crushed my intentions right from the start II) Stop hold on and wait for it to Start I say to you you are the one who has to Hear me out and let me try To explain all things that keep roaming around in my head at night they keep me awake I can not see how this is supposed to end

Lights 03:23
LIGHTS I) Walking under city lights Think about some words to say Wonder what has gone wrong with us Just want to get away Chorus This weight comes down on me I'm feeling out of place Here's the night comes crashing down And I can‘t see your face II) Do you know this taste of pressure Do you think I crossed the line ‘Cause everything appears like a barricade I made up in my mind Chorus II The walls are closing in on me I don't feel this is my place Here's the light i can see it falling from your face
4.
Mask 04:47
MASK I) The last thing I want you to know is what I look like inside The first thing you should have noticed is That something ain‘t right I‘m sure that I can tell you I just do not want to right now I just hide all of my problems I get up I‘m ready to go Chorus I put on my happy face The pretty mask I always use It‘s still quite good in shape Compared to it‘s countless abuse II) I got to think of all things She said she really wants me to know But I can‘t get rid of this feeling That I can‘t give this back to you Oh maybe you got the answers To all the questions I have on my mind However I‘m too selfish to share this Don‘t solve it just leave it behind III) You know I think I can‘t Take this just all by myself But you talk about sharing the burden You can‘t see I don‘t want your help I don‘t know how long I can Pretend that I‘m okay I don‘t want to exclude you But fear is still blocking my way

Done 04:13
DONE I) I bury a billion of thoughts in my head Dug a deep hole threw them in and I feel so lost Black are my hands are my knees are my feet I get up make a stand forced to find a way Out of here Caught in a space I tried to avoid Darkness's surrounding me makes me feel so blind Black feet are moving I’m trying to run But my legs are failing I'm falling I think I’m done Chorus I am ready I'm about to explode Tell the world to fade - I‘m breaking out Pouring rain floods my eyes and ears Soaked to the skin but I feel relieved II) Pressure keeps rising it feels like a rush My head is spinning I’m scheming anything That could have been Cracks in the mirror no home for my heart Believe me I'd stop if I could I would end this mess Right now Caught in a space I tried to avoid I'm trying my best to keep out all this deafening noise Black feet are moving I‘m trying to run But my legs are failing I‘m falling I think I‘m done
6.
Run 04:17
RUN I) Come on child go quick now Hide yourself under there They came to get you It‘s the second time now That they come for us They will burn our home So you better run run run for your life now Chorus I‘m gonna fight them all with the spider monkeys on my side I‘m gonna teach them how their victims felt last night I‘m gonna fight them off will rip their mob apart I‘m gonna take what‘s theirs the treasure will be mine II) Sharp knives in gritted teeth Lumpy clothes around wooden limps Bloody pirates go to hell They‘ve gone way too far now I won‘t let them go on I will hunt them down Interlude I am prepared for today I got some monkeys here They are strong and angry And physically enhanced They will fight for me We‘ll rip their mob apart I will take what‘s theirs The treasure will be mine

Tragedy 04:30
TRAGEDY I) It was a cold and rainy day in a city far away Mr. Jones got in his van ready to work He was a pretty little guy almost bald and very shy He was unemployed up to this day He got a fancy coloured suit he was really in the mood To sell his ice cream to all the kids in town But his excitement turned to fear and he was getting near of having second thoughts again Bridge What if no kids show up The fridge would stop And the ice cream turns to butter in the end What should I do I would be screwed And then a voice appeared inside his head Chorus And it said no no no no no It said no no no no no It said no no no no no It said let‘s make our way back home again II) He reached the city in a while on his face appeared a smile He was gaining more confidence again He was driving all around not long until he found The perfect place for his van to stand He was putting up the sign just the money on his mind He would be earning on a sunny summerday But then the rain was getting worse Mr. Jones began to curse And the smile began to fade out of his face Interlude Mr. Jones sat alone in the dark just next to central park Then suddenly the fridge did stop the melting ice cream ran out like a flood He tried to escape cream glued the door Jones couldn‘t hold his breath no more So he drowned in sugar and cream nobody could hear him scream The next morning sunny saturday when all the kids went out to play They saw the van they starved for cream but what dreadful scene they had to see ‘Cause in the night the fridge went on again and all the liquid iced the van Mr. Jones was frozen deep and all the kids were moaning in the streets

Box 04:45
BOX I) The choice between doing the next wrong thing Or doing the old faults over again It‘s not like I‘m the one who stops this So the same story starts to begin Sometimes it takes wrong steps to remember The only way was there all along After destroying we start to rebuild there‘s A lot of trust left to earn Chorus Way too close to see the exception Too far gone to feel it again We're the ones connecting the fractions Way too close to start over again II) It feels like floating or roaming around Like nothings worth to attache to But I know I can‘t do this for long ‘Cause soon enough I can‘t look through But now I feel like it‘s time to remember What got us this far after all And I can see there‘ve been mistakes all over Though they don't feel so bad anymore Bridge This box of things no one wants to see Has found it's place in the attic No one's to blame no one but me And everyone's free to know that
9.
Ago 04:45
AGO I) Passing by enlightened places Sense the warmth outside We got no time to stay here But lots of reasons to hide You say you're glad I'm with you But there's a glimpse of sadness in your eyes ‘Cause you just lost the place You used to call your home Bridge We did all wrong You felt lost in the grind Decided to run Leave it all behind We did all wrong You felt lost in the grind Chorus Days ago when time was a threat We walk alone dead tired in the black No one will know no duties no friends The anger we felt washed away by the tides II) With our lifes packed in bags We got on the train last night We could barely carry them away with us Too much dead freight inside We didn't mind to say goodbye Needed to get away From all the people and places we know But which began to fray

Collapse 04:37
COLLAPSE I) It came out of nothing You don‘t know whats happening Something ain‘t right Hollow screams give you a fright Again you‘re loosing sight Darkness remains You don‘t know what to expect Before everything collapses Chorus When the whole world breaks apart Everything around you collapses Unable to move No one can save your life II) Even though you survive It couldn’t be more intense To see the fear Terror in somebody elses eyes You are lost you‘re alone Overwhelmed everythings‘s gone What stays is fear Blood screams and tears Bridge Security is an illusion What will you do Now it‘s destroyed
