MAYDAY II 02:13
waiting / acting / acting / waiting acting / waiting / waiting /acting waiting / acting / acting / waiting daily play offs for the masses get us away from here / steady as she goes get us away from here / keep it up until we beach

PIÙ PIÙ 04:00
like in a mad rush / we’re gasping for air / and flipped overboard / while they were still there counting the lights / swearing at flies / keep up the bleeding mind / could it be that we got lost while staring at stoves / we have to admit / we’re thrown to the shit / of longest conflicts gullibly slipped / turn over the page / we need to hold on to this / could it be that we got lost don’t get too close to this / we have to get over this / we can’t just let it grow / sorrows and overload / could it be that we got lost this time we’ll find that cabin / the place where we were born / we drowned illusions where / you once still kept me warm losing every single frame / losing every single frame / losing / every rage and doubts / freaked us out / choked all up / and still we’re waiting until / we’re waiting is someone down there / to take over shares / sunk in deep thoughts / blown up to abroad break up heavy walls / come over now / whispering from time to time / losing every single frame

i see through / what it‘s gonna be / looking down on me / looking down on you think twice / there was no escape / you don’t mean anything to me this life / maxxed out / endless / prime time / no doubt / mai tai’s / blooming workflow self-optimizer / download complete / you think / i know / never go slow speed up / my show / you say / i’m peaking / i’m king / believe me but i try not to fade away – not to fade away soaked through / i don’t feel anything / my bold escape / was bound to be late sleek empathize / possession overload / you don’t get out / and never try to go i don’t think so, i’m not here to stay / i don’t mean to always be that way
4.
these days / in a black box / i got used to / the darkness agitation’s afloat / i bleed it out this world will never be the same again wasted timelines / on a napkin where were you while / we were going down and you keep losing ground i wonder why now you keep standing by now i wonder, i wonder, i wonder all flies by / stays for hours / tapping fingers / on the dashboard they said / we could take it all / back again wasted timelines / on a napkin where was i while / we were going down and we keep losing ground i wonder why now we keep standing by now i wonder, i wonder, i wonder they said we can take it back to where we started we will just keep standing by
5.
dimming all the backlights / outer shapes become clear / rising out of hidden haze i press the other button / your mirror picture changes / so close to our secret hideaway you’re still there in the background / watching while we’re failing every single time barren hopes / we dread it / so familiar bleached out years / we dared it / all along blocked out memories to clear the way just let me / just let me / just let me / just let me they’re breaking up the old slabs / digging out the bad ghosts / repeating all the steps to when you pressed the other button / sending shivering through my spine / but i won’t safe the gleaming times no more i hide my trembling fingers / but still my eyes reveal the untold tales barren hopes / we dread it / so familiar bleached out years / we dared it / all along losing all my empathies / to go on blocked out memories to clear the way
6.
it’s stone quiet / the dimmed lights / remained to fill up empty streets they’ve silenced / your raging minds poor days / you reckless / keep firing up your tiring shit but we / do not permit / to let the history repeat and we don’t / no we don’t / we don’t stay calm while they can’t breathe / your eyes so clear stabbed in their chest / for their last rest where is your conscience / what did they pay for you think it’s all about you now / deciding where you wanna go the others die anyway where is your conscience / what did they pay for that one day / it’ll hit you and then you’ll see who’s to remain turns out you / played a lethal game where is your conscience / what did they pay for you think it’s all about you now / deciding where you wanna go the others die anyway die anyway
7.
i’m in a dark road / in any dive bar / drowning away i don’t feel nothing / my skin is all dried out colliding mindsets / fill up my blinded eyes and in a moment / all them shivering ghosts hold on to me and try to swallow me / i should have let them be i should have let them be / i should have let them be i should have let them be / i should have, i should have i try to hold tight while / being pulled out on the road again and in a moment / all them shivering ghosts and they’re surrounding me / what will they do to me?
8.
CHEAP TRICK 03:29
getting weary of these fights / way too tired to sleep i can feel that i move my lips, but i don’t hear / a voice that’s coming out i cut my finger on a shard / but i remain this numb i could be a lie, lie, lie, lie / i could be that lie i could be your lie, lie, lie, lie / i could be that lie my shadow in a shop window / don’t you recognize me and even though i try to run / i remain there numb i could be a lie, lie, lie, lie / i could be that lie i could be your lie, lie, lie, lie / i could be that lie i lost where i belong to / anywhere i’m going / my jury is my enemy

TRACES 03:16
how long must we wait / spinning through our old shapes there is nothing here / but all the mess we left to showcase washed away our traces / no one’s to revive dead behind the curtains as they / fall in deepest sigh moving on / since how long / moving on / into nowhere painted all our walls / with our very lasting moment there is nothing but / our differences to start with how long must we wait until we / see there’s nothing left but distance we are soaked in silence / with all the mess we left to showcase
11.
i told you once, i told you twice / we should not be in disguise drifted apart, through pattered times / side by side but out of sight sleezy impacts, wasted sorrows, frozen bodies – lost. upsetting lies around your life / exposed by chance – two sheets of life shut down all we used to be drifted apart, don’t break my fall / we’re stranger on this last long run throw up what is left to say sleezy impacts, wasted sorrows, frozen bodies wasted impacts, frozen sorrows, losing bodies – gone. we smashed to our concrete floor / you spat on trust as balloons did burst you crushed all the shards of faith so, look down here, cause this shall rise / shadows will outshine what’s left break down all that’s left to see wasted impacts, frozen sorrows, losing bodies – gone. frozen impacts, losing sorrows, found your bodies – done. i told you once, i told you twice / we should not be in disguise
12.
fading on the alley back again / ghosts are hushing while the lights hold on – then go out wasted while you crush the traffic signs / turn back, rewind the tapes to start once more – but we lost you’re fading on the alley back again / and early morning takes it over now from you i will be there / in our twilight / in our blind side / i will be there / in desire / in desire i will be there
