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
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
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

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
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

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
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
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

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
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
