Us Without Self Control

I have no self control
I’ll have to get there on my own
I will stand there next to you
So confident all through and through
There will be nothing left to do
But kick and scream til’ someone’s ruined
Why can’t you stand there with me?
Why can’t you be there with me?
Why do I get satisfied
When nobody is there by your side?
No matter how hard I try
I can’t stop smiling and I don’t know why X2
Why can’t you stand there with me?
Why can’t you be there with me? X2
And when there’s nothing more to say
We’ll back up and pretend that this day
Never happened and never was and
Hopefully you’ll die

Salvation

Slowly I’m waking up, and quickly i’m fast asleep again
Slowly I’m waking up, and quickly I’m fast asleep again
Slowly I’m waking up, and quickly I’m fast asleep again
Slowly I’m waking up, and quickly I’m fast asleep again
Life showed me, we want to escape reality
A knife showed me, we can easy escape reality
This is all there is for me
We know there’s nothing more to see
But to stay awake we all agreed
Yet I’m about to fall asleep again, again, again and again
There’s nothing worse than being alive
When human nature makes it hard to survive
I see they’re evil with my mind’s eye
My hate against them is too hard to describe X2
They can’t resist the blue temptation
Raw and cold, the blue salvation
Because of their discrimination
We’re fighting for our red redemption
Who do you you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think that you are
When you don’t say anything,
you don’t do anything
Who do you think that you are
When you don’t do anything
Though you know that I am
Waking up again. Waking up again, waking up again…

They do not realize
They do not realize
They got fear in their eyes
They got fear in their eyes
Trying to live as fast
As my head allows me to,
I know I should sleep and so should you
This wont end well cus my
Lack of will to see solutions
Makes my body fear conclutions
Help me, somebody to
Waste my time on something else than
Trying to keep up my wealth
Help me, somebody to
Gather faith and gather hope
This so called life rolls down the slope
We are to anxious to believe
It is too hard for us to see X2
Now calm down
Calm down X2
I’ve been waiting for this
I’ve been waiting for this
I’ve been waiting for this for all my life
(Why can’t I, why can’t I, why can’t I compromise?)

Mediocrity

What do we intend to be?
Standard, or better than standard?
How do we learn to be
Classified as better?
We’re not fulfilled
We’re not fulfilled
Are prodigys all they see?
Succes is more important than anything
Succes is more important than anything
Succes is all there is
We’re not complete
We’re not complete
We’re not approved
We’re not approved
We don’t need to be X4
Together we stand
On their command
In front of the pile of truth
As if they were right
Still they know that we will fight
And together embrace our youth X2

No More Peaceful Mind

If everything was clear
I’d never feel this fear
Well, that can’t be done
Cus it’s not my way to live
I will make you see
That all this misery
Is just a part of life
It’s just a complex way to live
All true joyful times
I chase them in my mind
And I will chase them in my mind
Til’ I catch them
Try to tear me down
It shouldn’t be that hard
And if it gets hard
Try harder

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I’m running in circles
Pretending it’s you
Who’s holding my hand
Sharing your thoughts
I don’t really need to be happy
Calm down X3
What do they know?
Why do they care?
I can assure you that nobody dares
To follow us
From now on
We’re truly commited
To the voices in my head
Calm down X7
They are just waiting
For their turn to speak and to shine
Speaking about solutions
Totally out of sense, out of line
I am just waiting
For my turn to run and escape
Hail to the future
With colors and different shape
I’m not afraid of death
Not to lose my breath
Not to lose my breath
If they wanna end my life
I’m not afraid to die
I’m not afraid to die
But I am scared to death
That I will stay this obsessed
That I will stay this obsessed
Stuck with more or less
Of what is meant by true distress
Meant by true distress
Meant by true distress
Meant by true distress

Rescue Me From Silence

Be around me, entertain me
Forget all else and abuse me
We’ll figure it out
We will figure it out
Stop the clocks, stop the time
I just remembered
What is left and what’s not mine
I feel clever
We’re wasting energy, wasting time
No idea why
For what it’s worth, it’s not a crime
Still not worth the try
Please let me out of your plans for our future
