Getting Low 01:30
my vision is burning - the beat‘s getting low - where do you turn - when there is nowhere to go? - promised myself never to break - but how deep will we sink - how much more can I take - the walls crushing in - it goes down the drain - the things around me - won‘t keep me sane - world out of balance - that‘s all I know - one false move - and I lose control - stay away from me and all your wisdom about life - you were not once in my shoes and I don‘t need an advice
2.
the wheel keeps spinning - nothing to gain - nothing to reach for - while they are digging my grave - caught in this web - something I didn‘t choose - can‘t get ahead - ahead from feeling bruised - weighting me down, hiding in shame can‘t get a reason, am I to blame - my mind‘s demise - there´s no room to breathe - what means everything to you - is certain death to me - I want to be where the wild things are - get as far as I can - and I will get far - won‘t retrace a step - and won‘t apologize - do as you pleased but I can‘t live this life - weighting me down, hiding in shame - can‘t get a reason am I to blame - my minds demise - there´s no room to breathe - what means everything to you - is certain death to me - won‘t retrace a step - and won‘t apologize - do as you pleased but I can‘t live this life like you - no!
3.
I won't take it - you overstep the mark - can't deal with it and the way that you act - despite all your bullshit - this time you pushed me too far - sick of your talk - my anger grows - you think I‘m alright - I‘m set to explode - give me one more reason - this is me and you - you are a devil in disguise but I see right through you - two faced fool - I‘m out to get you - you crossed the line this is the boiling point
4.
Trapped 01:46
going in circles - stuck in this war - an urge for change - but haven't changed at all - bitter and twisted - this world turns black - maybe I‘ve lost sight - but I won't lose my path - how many times - how many ways - trapped in this mess till the end of days - this impact brought out the worst - out of my eyes - meant to be out of my thoughts - recover substance - won't get caught in the ground - set myself free - to make this count - how many times - how many ways - trapped in this mess till the end of days
5.
balance of power is changing - can't get a hold on life - all that you know will be fading - can't stand the test of time - believe the bullshit and serve the lies - enjoy the comforts of staying in line - sell all your freedom to feel safe the only way to cope with fate - blinded by force-fed convictions - part of the ignorant kind - find peace in the non-existent - can't stand the test of time - believe the bullshit and serve the lies - enjoy the comforts of staying in line - sell all your freedom to feel safe - the only way to cope with fate blinded by force-fed convictions - part of the ignorant kind - find peace in the non-existent - can't stand the test of time
6.
another day, another struggle - living under pressure to succeed - paralyzed with fear of tomorrow - we pay the price for our evil deeds - honesty, a word without meaning - justifies for a higher aim - regardless of what’s coming ahead - there are no rules in this game - seek for answers in a puddle of dirt - confusion sets in, nothing is at it seems - lying, cheating, deviate from the truth - everything to reign surpreme - feel the weight on our shoulders - while you break, I won’t shed a tear - survive the times and you will get by - everyone‘s got a cross to bear
7.
faces changing, people come and go - another wave so go with the flow chew it up and then spit it out - never mind because it's all what you’re about - just a sucker lost in the unknown - last who came and the first who go - speak your mind but I don't give a fuck - because it's empty words from an empty heart - all I know, won‘t lose it to you - time to show, won‘t lose it to you - no easy answers there is more than one truth - I defend what's mine against your abuse - safe in a crowd the place for you to hide - but not for long I got you in sight boy - everyone of us is just another stone - of the walls we've built to keep it our own - so finish your business and better do fast - you're long gone, we will outlast
8.
still searching for - for a feeling, let me feel some more - I want to go back without a rope around my neck - innocence written with hands washed in sin - so I crumble inside, make it numb, let the misery begin - hands washed in sin - so tell me that it changes with time - but this throbbing in my head is still by my side - hunted by the clouds - in the back of my mind - you barely can see - I‘m not half the man I use to be - instead to make it - I choose to break it - still searching for - for a feeling, let me feel some - but this throbbing in my head - won’t let me go back

Face Reality 01:53
the ups and downs - all things we've been through - it doesn't mean shit - if you ain't got a clue - and it's boring to see - what you claim to be - have you ever tried to face, face reality? - realize we ain't the same - can't relate to what you became - it takes more, than you ever gave - can't still believe - why you've lost your ways - so don't look back - and deny the past - where would you've been now - just take, take a second to rest - realize we ain't the same - truth lies within when you really want to see - there is so much more, the taste of integrity - truth lies within when you really want to give - to you it's just a passing phase but I believe in this
11.
everywhere I go - and every move I made - this brought me back to life and gives me the strength - to stand another day - down but not out, have to let go - make sacrifices and forget all you know - so hard I've tried - there is no escape - strain and compulsion - controlling our ways - but the music, the message - all that runs deep - something you can't touch - can't take away from me
