H2O
he’s always staring at me
he’s always fuckin’ with me
softly whispering to me
he makes promises he never keeps

if you should wonder why
I never seem to try
to turn my back and walk away
I’m killin’ myself every day

it keeps on eating my soul 
7 days a week 
the ghost keeps on calling
it’s killin’ all my sleep

he’s always firing me up
he’s telling me I need no friends
he’s saying that he will be back
he’s saying I’ve got him instead 

oh where’s the man I knew
I feel afraid and a bit confused
although I pray for another shot
I know that he is all that I’ve got

It keeps on eating my soul
7 days a week
the ghost keeps on calling
it’s killin’ all my sleep
Virgin
it’s been burnin’ in your mind
wondering if it is right
that it keeps you all alone at night

so you start lookin’ for the one
the one whom just might become 
the one with whom you would feel right

you ask me if I’d like to go
to a place only you know
or have never shown to me before 

if only you could read my mind
then you’d certainly find out that I’m
lookin’ for a score

sit alone and wonder why
why it is only you’ll have to die
but you won’t die
you won’t

it’s ok
it’s all right
I'm out
thinkin’ back to how it was
used to treat me as your own
used to say i was ok
used to take me to your home
(yeah)

then I found out who I was
found out what I had to say (you want me)
the more I turned into myself
the more I think I came to be (you want me)

lookin’ back to how it was
you used to laugh at all my friends
you used to drag us through the mud
you used to bitch about my band
(yeah)

then we found out who we were
found out what we had to say (you want me)
you tried to come back in our lives
and now it’s you who people hate (you want me)

(I’m out)
I guess I’m out of the game

(guess I’m out of luck this time…)
(but that is just the way it's supposed to be…)
(I don’t care about it…)
(I don’t care at all)
Anal fuck
you try to pull my pants down
you try to take off my shirt
and then you bite my head off
and cover me with dirt
I don’t want to live like that no more

you try to bash my head in
you try to cover my space
and then you bite my nuts off
and spit them back in my face
I don’t want to live like this no more

you try to pull my pants down
you try to take off my shirt
and then you bite my head off 
and cover me with dirt

you anal fuck
you’re an anal fuck
you anal fuck
you’re an anal fuck

you anal fuck
Ballad of the boy
don’t be afraid he said
when he took his hand
slowly drove him mad when
he filled his hand with sand

no one knew 
not even mother dear
she just cleaned her shelves and
her mind was struck with fear

several years went by but
nothing changed at all
once I thought I heard the boy cry
thought he took a fall but no

no one knew
what went on
until it was too late
he shot him

no one knew 
anything about you

and in the end
everything seemed lost
he could not defend his right to live
all that he saw 
was a dead man shot by him
not the pain he went through
Gone
sometimes things don't turn out
like you want them 2
try 2 find your way
give yourself away

she chose not 2 be here
she chose life instead
tried 2 find her way
took my heart away

at night I lay awake
pretend that you're right here
but when the new day breaks
I know you'll disappear

and it feels like I've been here so long
you don't know what you've got till it's gone

please beleive when I say
I don't hold a grudge
try 2 find a way
2 give myself away

sometimes I can hear you
whispering soft 2 me
give myself away
drive myself insane

at night I lay awake
pretend that you're right here
but when the new day breaks
I know you'll disappear

and it feels like I've been here so long
you don't know what you've got till it's gone

thoughts broken
I sink low
too close by
eyes hurt so
I lose hope
life flows away

because it feels like I've been here so long
you don't know what you've got till it's gone
and it feels like I've been here so long
you don't know what you've got till it's gone
Turn around
Jimmy saw the sun chase away the night
it was a quarter past seven
his body warm like the morning light
had 2 be in school by eleven

he told himself what they had done 2 him
that's why Jimmy never felt real sad
if only someone could have lent a hand
things would have never turned out so bad

who knows why black flies just live for one day
who knows why

hey turn around
it's time 2 wake up and go back 2 tell the story
hey turn around
it's time 2 wake up and go back 2 tell the story now

always sat alone in the back of the class
because no one would take him
today he stood in front of the rest
his hands were shaking

who could have known what Jimmy thought
never had a chance to speak his words out loud
the flies were burning in his head till
Jimmy let them all out

who knows why black flies just live for one day
who knows why

hey turn around
it's time 2 wake up and go back 2 tell the story
hey turn around
it's time 2 wake up and go back 2 tell the story now

It didn't pay 2 make fun of him
too late 2 say, "I'm sorry"
no one would ever make fun of him
you and I all the time

come with me
take my hand
I will tell you when you're there
Rise
touch my hand
does it feel strange 2 you
somehow I'd like 2 know
if you're my friend
why'd you stay inside your shell
take a look outside yourself

just tell me what you see
does it still look like me
can't find a way 2 rise again

find the shade
flood it with your golden eyes
before it turns you blind
not too late
try 2 make amends inside
try 2 open up your mind

my body hits the dirt
too late 2 find a cure
can't find a way 2 rise again

jesus help me,
I'm falling, I'm falling down

my thoughts are scattered on the ground
my hope is nowhere 2 be found
I try 2 hide behind the sun
but where's the new horizon
my eyes are burning through my hand
I try so hard 2 understand
why I was left behind

jesus help me,
I'm falling, I'm falling down
(don't be afraid my friend, I'll take you 2 the end)
Autumn
you called up late
said you wanted 2 talk
I was afraid
cause you spoke so softly

you took my hand
slowly started 2 cry
I can't understand
why our season went by

wy do leaves fall down from the sky
is the tree not strong enough

you turned away
slowly opened the door
said you could not stay
you couldn't take it no more

it started 2 rain
tears kept falling from the sky
it did not stop the pain
it did not stop the pain

wy do leaves fall down from the sky
is the tree not strong enough

now I fall on the ground

it did not stop the pain
it did not stop the pain
Your best friend
dreams were made 2 last in storybooks
just like the hero of the day
you wait until they walk into your world

and make the demons go away

you know I'm here, I'll take good care of you now
forget your fear, you have no use for it now
just dry your tears, before you drown in it now
you know I'm here, i'll take good care of you now

I'll be the one you always want me 2
forget the things that I have done 2 you
cause it was not the first time or the last time I
have lied 2 you
I'll be the one you always want me 2

you try 2 hide the tremble in your voice
and fight 2 stay awake all day
afraid your life is nothing but a toy
you know I'm here, I'll take good care of you now
forget your fear, you have nu use for it now
you know it's near, you can't no escape from it now
just dry your tears, it's way too late for you now

I'll be the one you always want me 2
forget the things that I have done 2 you
cause it was not the first time or the last time I
have lied 2 you
I'll be the one you always want me 2
Requiem 2
it's been so long since I've tried
2 get up and out of my head
too dark out there

I try not 2 breathe or make a sound
or move it all
I'm too scared
no hope at all

I'm dying

everybody says
it's just a phase
but it's been damn long
it's been damn long

what will it take
2 get out again
and see all those millions of faces
not worry about what they're thinking

I'm dying

it's ok, it's ok
don't cry no, don't cry no more

I'm dying
Grey
you always say
that your life's been thrown away
that's why you turn 2 a man upstairs
and pray he'll save you everyday

don't come around no more
save your soul in the eyes of the lord

long years go by
as you still sit 2 wonder why
your voice can't scream out loud
and your mind's been trapped inside
(you know I'm drowning in myself)

don't come around no more
save your soul in the eyes of the lord

burn yourself down
bring yourself down

you know I'm drowning in myself
drowning in myself
you know I'm drowning in myself

don't come around no more
save your soul in the eyes of the lord

burn yourself down
bring yourself down
Down
It's hard when
you try 2 survive
and try 2 hold on
as we will go down
and we will fall down

one day I will go into a new state of mind I guess

until that day
I'll try 2 know my name

I try 2 blink but go numb
so it throws mud in my eye
I gasp for air but there's none
my lungs explode inside

I should know better than 2 let things get 2 me
I should know better than 2 let let them get 2 me
I should know better than 2 let let you get 2 me
I should know better than 2 let me get 2 me

it's hard when
you try 2 survive
and try 2 hold on
so you will go down
and we will go
Hurt
a new feeling grows inside me
can't take away the black sky
I'm too afraid 2 use new colors
wave the older man goobye

I was drowning in the ocean
I couldn't keep my head up
no one ever helped me fighting
no one ever seemed 2 mind

close your eyes don't be shy
there's no need 2 shut the light
just try 2 leave it all behind
if you're ok I'll be fine

you know there's something for me
it just needs 2 be found

it hurts 2 know I'm crawling
why do I feel so betrayed
tell me when the sky stops falling
will there be another day

close your eyes don't be shy
there's no need 2 shut the light
just try 2 leave it all behind
if you're ok I'll be fine

you know there's something for me
it just needs 2 be found
needs to be found
needs to be found

close your eyes don't be shy
there's no need 2 shut the light
just try 2 leave it all behind
if you're ok I'll be fine
Speak the words
I had enough words 2 say that I was sorry
I had enough ways 2 make it go away
but foolish pride ruined the path before me
I guess the sun can only shine here once a day

I drowned myself in a wave of lost ambition
I filled your world with my hate and disbelief
I trapped my soul in an awkward (dis)position
and deep inside I hope that no one sees me

can you feel the pain I hide
I laugh out loud but cry inside
no one's there 2 save me from my doubt
cause I don't dare 2 speak the words out loud

try 2 find me in my sorrow
time won't take away the truth
can't change the way that we are changing
I hope that we will finally learn 2

can you feel the pain I hide
I laugh out loud but cry inside
no one's there 2 save me from my doubt
cause  I'm too scared 2 speak the words out loud

I walk the dessert all alone
no place 2 rest my mind
the sun is burning in my soul, in my soul

pride is our strongest thing in common
and time isn't always on our side
but tears are not the only answer
it's time you took this blindfold from me

can you feel tha pain I hide
I laugh out loud but cry inside
will you be there 2 save me from my doubt
if I will learn 2 speak the words out loud
Wrapped around your finger
you consider me the young apprentice
caught between the ? and ?
hypnotized by you if I should linger
staring at the ring around your finger

I have only come here seeking knowledge
things they wouldn't teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
turn into a shining band of hope

I'll be wrapped around your finger

Nafostaveles is not your name
but I know what you're up 2 just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
you will see it come to it's fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger

devil and the deep blue see behind me
vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn you face to ?
then you'll find you're servant is your master

you'll be wrapped around my finger
No one knew
don't be afraid he said
when he took his hand
slowly drove him mad when
he filled his head with sand

no one knew
not even mother dear
she just cleaned her shelves
her mind was struck with fear

several years went by but
nothing changed at all

thought he took a fall but no

no one knew
what went on
until it was too late
he shot him

no one knew
anything about you
no one knew
anything

and in the end
everything seemed lost
he could not defend
his right 2 live

no one knew
anyhting about you
