grasping
through the drywall
my, my house used to be right there
fallow, fallow retail space amenable
my house used to be right there
oh it's a metaphor
for suicide, suicide
it’s just an ad for
hotdogs, hotdogs
dancers crunching
black bar over the eyes
curled into a ball
in the back of the car
as night falls
a simulation of war crimes

(Idiot (x16))
Some of the worst life
Feigned in the car.
Start true towards,
for the back will meet
over the eyes
curled into a ball over the eyes
over the eyes, over the eyes
curled into a ball in the back of the car
curled into a ball up the hinterlands (sit in the back of the main lane)
upon avon (of the main lanes)
upon parking lots
calling avon, calling avon (I want to, I)

we’ve never (grasping)
had a sales event quite like this (through the drywall)
(my house used to)
my house used to be right there
choke a swan to death
behind the bleachers
my house used to be right there

oh it's a metaphor
for suicide, suicide
maybe it’s just an ad for
hotdogs, hotdogs

Mother. Child. Sexy Bitch.
turn non users into users
Meat and reason, brash yet seasoned
Affecting unrealistic roles that we can never see through

current users buy more
And wedged in between us is a marketing scheme
As the men with the strings pull us farther away

The machine runs smoothly with binary minds. (2x)

It's called mining
Isolate a type and then batter their brains.
"I don't get women."
"I don't get men."
But we have more in common than they'd like us to think

From womb to tomb to brinking youth
To middle age manics whispering
Loaded I love yous.
We enact crude demands that we were trained to perform
Played against each other
Not citizens, competition

And the dummy on their lap
Isn't making jokes anymore.
And the roles they've given us at birth
They were only designed to hurt.

The machine running smoothly with binary minds. (2x)

We forfeit our privilege.
We don't need someone else to write our scenes.

Just look at your hands
You can take it all back
They made you a man
They made you a woman

Only our culture holds us back from living our dreams.

The ceiling just offered me debt relief
I pulled a pillow over my face
That tree is repeating my maiden name
I buried my head all in the sand
That loaf of bread is playing a lovely waltz
It's a bit too loud, but I like it OK
The morning paper just gave my grandma a hug
I've seen that shit before

You casually mentioned across the room
That experts prefer fruit of the loom
That snap crackle pop is the sound of my heart
The sound of my heart being consumed

[Hook/Intro]
Ich wünsche jedem nur das Beste, ein Leben voller Schätze
Ein Leben voller Rechte, ein Leben voller Feste
Fang das Glück! Fang mit einem Lächeln an!
Im Flow des Lebens, du beherrschst den Wellengang
Ich wünsche jedem nur das Beste, ein Leben weil es Spaß macht
Ein Leben ohne Traglast, von wegen keine Tatkraft
Du bist glücklich. Du hast ein geiles Leben
Du bist gesund, hast Erfolg. Dein Weg

[1. Strophe]
Geht es dir gut? Diese Frage ist berechtigt
Es gibt Tage an denen alles so schlecht ist
Du ganz weit weg willst, bloß ohne Moos nix los
Alles scheiße, wie Samstag morgens Brot zu hol'n
Den inneren Schweinehund, jetzt beiseite
Jetzt beschreiten wir die Reife
Und erreichen geistreiche Welten
In die Tiefe schau'n, über vieles staun'
Und einfach mal dem Frieden traun'

Freudiges Empfinden für das Leben im Überfluss
Übelst Lust, atme den Sound ein, süßer Duft
Erfrischend, wie Apfelsinen. Harmonie, wie Harfe spielen
Und ein "Du schaffst das nie!" verwerf ich mit ein'm "Gab es nie!"
Nur du kannst dein Wesen beschränken
Und die ewigen Grenzen im Leben der Ängste
In die Schranken weisen. Lieber eine Lange Reise
Voller Glück, Frieden und Sich-Dankbar-Zeigen

[Hook]

[2. Strophe]
Musik; ist wie Balsam für die Seele
Nutze all deine Kraft und fahr' mit Allrad deine Wege
Deine Selbstwerte, komm lass sie hoch springen
Du willst Trost finden, gute Laune los binden
Dunkle Zeiten sind vorbei, Wunden heilen mit der Zeit
Freude empfinden heißt: Verbunden sein mit seinem Geist
Wer keinen Traum hat, der Lebt kein Leben
Fang mit einem Lächeln an, um deinen Weg zu ebnen

Um zu glauben kann ich gerne naiv werden
Sterne ins Spiel werfen, die wärmen und nie sterben
Ich erklär' Genie-Lehren. Bewahre die Haltung
Für die wahre Entfaltung, deiner Lebensgestaltung
Wir, sind alle Erdenbewohner. Menschen
Lachen und weinen. Musik kann Herzen erobern
Wir sind alle Eins, doch nur wenige spüren das
Wie kann man das ändern? Hier, ich gebe Gefühle ab

[Hook]

[2x Bridge]
(Ich wünsche jedem nur das Beste.)
Die euch allen ein bewusstes Gelingen
Und genügend Kraft um über Schluchten zu springen

[Hook]

Get out your guns, battle's begun
Are you a saint or a sinner?
If love's a fight then I shall die
With my heart on a trigger

They say before you start a war
You better know what you're fighting for
Well baby, you are all that I adore
If love is what you need, a soldier I will be

I'm an angel with a shotgun fighting 'til the war's won
I don't care if heaven won't take me back
I'll throw away my faith, babe, just to keep you safe
Don't you know you're everything I have?
And I wanna live, not just survive tonight

Some things are better off forgotten
We bury them in places that we really only visit by ourselves
Oh you were a version like no other
Oh they never tell you what to do when all you see is gone
What's the sense in anything when what they say is wrong?

Oh what do you want to hear?
Do you know how many times
I tore myself apart cause you're not here?
Oh why do you want to know?
Does it make you feel alive?
I had to die to finally let you go

Stop me... I find myself believing
A story gets rewritten so a blasphemy's permitted once again
Oh and you were so perfectly imperfect
Oh they never tell you what to do when all you have are lies
What's the sense in anything? It's just one more goodbye...

Speak of the devil look who just walked into the room
The guilted and faded notion of someone I once knew
All the perfect moments are wrong
All the precious pieces are gone
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us

Did you hide yourself away
I can't see you any more
Did you eclipse another day
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul
Did you hide your self away
Are you living through the ghost
Did you finally find a place above the shadows
Of a world we'll never know
The world will never know you like I do

So many silent sorrows you'll never hear from again
And now that you lost tomorrow, is yesterday still a friend?
All the bridges that we built will burn
Not a single lesson was learned
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us

Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
As the sesons change - remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart

I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here

Sound the bugle now - tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere
Without a light I fear that I will - stumble in the dark
Lay right down - decide not to go on

Then from own high - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls - remember who you are
If you lose yourself - you're courage soon will follow
So be strong tonight - remember who you are

Yeah you're a soldier now - fighting in a battle
To be free once more...
Yeah that's worth fighting for!

It must have been a place so dark you couldn't feel the light,
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud.
Now here we are gathered in our little home town.
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd.

Oh, why, that's what I keep asking.
Was there anything I could have said or done.
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul.
God only knows what went wrong.
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song.

Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old.
Rounding third to score the winning run.
You always played with passion, no matter what the game.
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun.

Oh, why, that's what I keep asking.
Was there anything I could have said or done.
Oh, I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul.
God only knows what went wrong.
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song.

Now the oak trees are swaying in the early autumn breeze.
The golden sun is shining on my face.
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This whole world really ain't that bad of a place

Oh why, there's no comprehending.
And who am I to try to judge or explain
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight
They were wrong, they lied.
Now you're gone, and we cried.

'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song.
Your beautiful song.
Your absolutely beautiful song.
