Bad mood 02:00
Age sixteen. All big plans. All got stuck. Met wrong friends. You were my girl. Problem is this. You And the other. And that kiss! Sometimes it just seems to be the better way to kill myself, yeah anyway. Sometimes I Just wanna die! Past the puberty. Age twenty one. Working class hero First freedom gone. Then one moment. All Goes away. Then you realise. Nothing is gonna stay. Sometimes it just seems to be the better way to kill myself, yeah anyway. Sometimes I Just wanna die! Stuck in life. At middle age. Now way back. Far past that stage. Family and job. Just goes on. No room for me. Real me is gone. Sometimes it just seems to be the better way to kill myself, yeah anyway. Sometimes I Just wanna die! The pressure that we put up on our selves, Materialistic requirements to put up on our shelves. Solo Sometimes it just seems to be the better way to kill myself, yeah anyway. Sometimes I wanna fucking die!

Hanging on 03:02
We went to the same highschool. Everyone called you A God damn fool You stond there with your back, against the wall. You had no friends, left alone. Did your things, by your own No one Just even bother, we saw you fall. And no one even care to ask you how are you? You look real sad, take A seat and are you getting bye? And no one even dare to think Lets help you, We let you drown, didn’t help, no we didn’t even try. Later in life, Many times. Me with my friends, you left behind. Saw you walking alone, but keeping strong. You never gave in, did not let us in. It was the truth we all believed in. Till you found the rope, your now hangin on. And no one even care to ask you how are you? You look real sad, take A seat and are you getting bye? And no one even dare to think Lets help you, We let you drown, didn’t help, no we didn’t even try. And no one even care to ask you how are you? You look real sad, take A seat and are you getting bye? And no one even dare to think Lets help you, We let you drown, didn’t help, no we didn’t even try.

War 04:08
Read the papers, watch the news. Decapitation films with 2000 views. Make me think the world. Spins out of controll. Propaganda from left and right. Defend our religion, join the fight. fiction is leading the fouls. To kill living souls. All we do is bring our kids to war. And we don’t care they don’t know what for. All we do is bring our kids to war. The world is dying, and that's our humanity score. Fight for oil, fight for land, join the army take a stand. Defend your point of view. with your life. Our god is holy, our allah is great, We use cars, planes , bombs to make that straight. Shrinking visions limit us. to enjoy life. All we do is bring our kids to war. And we don’t care they don’t know what for. All we do is bring our kids to war. The world is dying, And that's our humanity score. Don’t push kids let them find out on theire own Stand together, and don’t leave no one alone. Afterall we all do have the same old dream. Don’t waste your life on just a worthless sceame. All we do is bring our kids to war. And we don’t care they don’t know what for. All we do is bring our kids to war. The world is dying, And that's our humanity score.

My direction 03:29
Finding my direction, While speeding the road of life. Dead end streets and traffic jams. To nowhere misleading sighns. Can anyone draw me a map. Please someone help me To the city I can be myself To the place I wanna be Life decides while making other Plans Before you even started, you never had a chance. The trick is, you learn the rules of the game. Solve all of your problems, before you go insaine. Years ago on high school, I had to make my plans. My future way for filling days, My now and future friends. Waking up at thirty-eight, Accompanied by children and wife Still searchin for a quiet path With the three loves of my life Life decides while making other plans. Before you even started, you never had a chance. The trick is, you learn the rules of the game. Solve all of your problems, before you go insaine. Solo In this world of raging madness, Trying to stay on course. The roadmaps did not seem to be correct, Exposed my loved ones to the forces. Just when you think you found the way, In this modern world’s fucking maze. Life’s already looking for a new trick, To fuck up your future days.

Gone 03:31
Not knowing eyes, When I was young, they were in my head. That much to learn, So I listened to the things you said. Sometimes not, Times I made you mad, times I made you sad. But I know now, That even if you hide it well, you have so much love to give. I’m going to to miss, your face. The love you gave, in your own ways. It’s gonna hurt like hell, when your gone. I’m gonna miss, your smile. Hope you stay for A while. So much more to do, before your gone. Experienced eyes. Surrounded by wrinkles, they’re in my head. Have much to learn, To my boy’s who always make you glad. Make you proud, To forget the times you were mad or sad. Yes I know now, That even if we hide it well, We have so much love to give. I’m going to to miss, your face. The love you gave, in your own ways. It’s gonna hurt like hell, when your gone. I’m gonna miss, your smile. Hope you stay for A while. So much more to do, before your gone. Not knowing eyes, More empty spots capture your head. Uncertanty, fade away a once strong dad. So much has changed, The Years behind us, Still counting on. And we know now, We don’t have to hide it well, Cause we have so much love to give.

Back off 03:39
Invited, on this amazing party. Were they were serving, drinks much to fast. Try to keep up, Just like everyone there. No, no one is learning, of mistakes of the past. And when the drunk mind, takes a free fall. The heat is on! Thoughts fed, by your insecurity. Your friends try to reason, trough your wall of stone. You just rattle on, like A empty can, No you don’t realise, your standing alone. And when your clear sense, goes out the back door. Now no ones home! And the next day, you see your friends again, you try to figure out, what happened that night, Your in a fucking fight! oww shit! He you prick, are you clear in your head again? Do you still think that i’ve got to back off! You make me sick! You Said over and over again..... Remember?!! you look surprised, must I repeat again, Now I’m telling you That you have got to back off! The Day will come, you gonna Remember... The friends you’ve lost Life goes on, much to fast! He you prick, are you clear in your head again? Do you still think that i’ve got to back off! You make me sick! You Said over and over again..... Remember?!! you look surprised, must I repeat again, Now I’m telling you That you have got to back off! The Day will come, you gonna Remember... The friends you’ve lost Life goes on, much to fast! All of, the friends you’ve lost, The problems, your drinkend caused! Dumb Fuck!

Once there was laughter, once was respect, Once is A while ago. A forced relation, A mutural interest A bond with the same living sole. But then came the lies, back doors and back stabbing, Then came the real you above. Many thing heard, Still dayly learning, Experience your not abble to love. Love and hate are written on the same page, And both have the power, to feed the rage. Once your new met friends are bored and gone, You look right back at you daugther and son, See there not gone! You make yourself thinking, time will restore, Your victoms skin, simple and plain. Wounds will heal, quarrels forgotten, Remember that scars will remain. So never forget, the ones that carrie, Your world dispite allmof your lies. No matter how far, she always will be there, Of you really knew how she tries. Love and hate are written on the same page, And both have the power, to feed the rage. Once your new met friends are bored and gone, You look right back at you daugther and son, See there not gone! Love and hate are written on the same page, And both have the power, to feed the rage. Once your new met friends are bored and gone, You look right back at you daugther and son, See there not gone!

Lost 03:53
I took my time Far in life when I finaly met you. Close on my screen, over 100 Miles away. By mistake, wrong road on the digital highway. The beginning of a wonderfull ride. Now without you I’m lost! Gonna find my way, But it ain’t gonna be the same And I like this, I love the way you light up my live And I love you! Not all joy. Anoying day’s filled with confusions. Whent trough it all, the shit has only made us strong. You and the kids, I can’t discribe what you meen to me. Or what I do, to the ones that do your harm. Yeah without you I’m lost! Gonna find my way, But it ain’t gonna be the same. And I like this! I love the way you light up my live. And I love you! Now without you I’m lost! Gonna find my way, But it ain’t gonna be the same. And I like this! I love the way you light up my live. And I love you!

Staring at the mirror, Watching the years go by The Mark of memory's on my face. Lots of different choices, Without knowing why. The good and the bad already made. I do not live in the past, but it has made me who I am! Not always a good friend to you, But Beside you I will stand. Years go fast, live day by day, Tryin to figure out the way. To take only the best of life, While getting older every day. I'll take this mirror moment, To reflect my life. Thinking of the friends I have collect, The pain of loved ones who are gone. Afraid of all the shit one can get I do not live in the past, but it has made me who I am! Not always a good friend to you, But beside you I will stand. Years go fast, live day by day, Tryin to figure out the way. To take only the best of life, While getting older every day. Time has made me who I am, Still try'n to be a beter man Try to figure out the way While getting older every day Despite our Periodic Grief and shame Some times a fucking hurricane of pain Promise to myself , in my remaining days Together we will figure out our way I do not live in the past, but it has made me who I am! Not always a good friend to you, But beside you I will stand. Years go fast, live day by day, Tryin to figure out the way. To take only the best of life, While getting older every day.
