Not everybody knows in this golden age We’ve got more than we deserve Not everybody knows nothing’s for free for real Someone else has paid somewhere else yeah I saw you turn your face away I noticed cause I did the same I saw him turn off the spotlight And making his duty his pride We’re just blinded human machines Working harder cutting and squeezing We’re just programmed mechanic drills We don’t have an idea of the scars we leave Not everybody knows in this golden age We’ve got more than we deserve Not everybody knows nothing’s for free for real Someone else is paying right now, right now I see you turn your face away I notice cause I do the same D’you see him turn off the spotlight And making his duty his pride? We’re just blinded human machines Working harder cutting and squeezing We’re just programmed mechanic drills We don’t have an idea of the scars we leave We’re just blinded human machines Working harder cutting and squeezing We’re just programmed mechanic drills We don’t have an idea of the scars we leave

How The Hell 03:18
How the hell are you treating your girl, man? How the hell are you treating your boy, girl? How the hell are we treating each other? How the hell are we treating this world As the globe is revolving through the galaxy And we’re burning our flammable life There is no way to run to the mountains It’s this world you are in, it’s this crap you must fix Do we still agree we’re from the same star? Or we’re enslaving the other half Well you know we’re all each other’s consequences It’s her fear you must feel, it’s his heart you must heal How the hell are you treating your girl, man? How the hell are you treating your boy, girl? How the hell are we treating each other? How the hell are we treating this world As the sun comes and goes at the speed of light There’s no shadow to cast on our thrones It’s plain to see a change is already happening How d’you want it to be? would you move without me? Sally has gone, she stopped waiting years ago now We’re still singing along waving our pints 3am and our home is an empty pit Are we happy like this, thinking it is what it is How the hell are you treating your girl, man? How the hell are you treating your boy, girl? How the hell are we treating each other? How the hell are we treating this world

Something's wrong now I'm without you Something's wrong in a glance of an eye There's no lie I could buy No elephant to deny To believe in just one reason why Drop it all, I've got no place to call home I wanna just hear your whispering lips saying my name Drop it all, I hate my way back home At every corner this lame city is not the same And you're gone, well I couldn’t hold you off Jumping on a star, in a blink of an eye Should I climb to where you are Shoot this hurt horse to die Leave the desert, throw these guns behind Drop it all, I've got no place to call home I wanna just hear your whispering lips saying my name Drop it all, I hate my way back home At every corner this lame city is not the same There's no lie I could buy To believe in just one reason why Drop it all, I've got no place to call home I wanna just hear your whispering lips saying my name Drop it all, I hate my way back home At every corner this lame city is not the same Something's wrong in a glance of an eye there's no lie

I’ve been inside, I’ve been all around You are not what you may seem I tried to shape, to warp myself Forgetting to be me After chasing you every night you were somewhere else After saying bullshit to half the world that needs me back For You, out of control For You, out of control I’ve been for you alone Who are you? Who are you now? Who will you be next time? I was voiceless if you spoke Not ready to collide After having the same dream but doing all your way You said I’m a shit You never figure out just why For You, out of control For You, out of control I’ve been for you alone Flying high, if only I had my peace time back Getting up, that’s a step that I can do myself Flying high like I was before you saw me Floating over all the fear you left inside my mind Flying high, after breathing too much dust in Flying high, after trembling as you looked at me Flying high, without being touched by clever lies Without minding if or what I should say this time For You, out of control For You, out of control I’ve been for you alone

Two Idiots 05:17
I’ve never known two idiots Two idiots like me and you I’ve never known two fools play And ruin it all just like me and you I’ve never heard of a romance Crashing down like ours do I’ve never known two idiots Burn out like we do You loathe the sound of my voice Anytime I talk to you How can I support you? If you slap my face and cut me through And I will smash your room now Smithereens and screams, I hate it too Never known two idiots Burn out like we do You don’t care what we were, do you? You don’t care anymore, do you? You forget everything and now I’m fading out of your head You don’t care what we were, do you? You‘re not here anymore, are you? You’ve forgotten our moments while they’re wildly spinning my head Never known two idiots Rip their lives, rip their lives up like me and you Never saw you crying Like when you said, like when you said you needed me too Oh I never heard of two lovers Growling their love like tigers And longing for their own touch Just like we do And I never thought this feeling could die In the fire, believe me, I didn’t have a clue You don’t care what we were, do you? … You’ve forgotten our moments and I just have to understand

Mess Painter 03:32
A Bucket full of red, I’ve splashed it on the wall And everything I know about your favourite sweet candies Is on the safe side now Lining your gentle face with tulips on my hands And everything I know about you is slowly finding the right place I’d like your soul, I’d like your soul… I’d like your soul, yes I, I’d like your soul on my wall I’d like your soul, I’d like your soul… I’d like your soul, yes I, I’d like your soul on my wall On one side, the Orion’s belt held up by three little frogs And every word you’ve said about poetry, songs and German I’ve painted with your brown leaf A sea of green, pieces of mirror and a sunset view An endless lemon joy, how I hope you can bring it to my life I’ve got your soul, I’ve got your soul… I’ve got your soul, yes I, I’ve got your soul on my wall I’ve got your soul, I’ve got your soul… I’ve got your soul, yes I, I’ve got your soul on my wall

Make Love 04:13
Make love, make love with me Oh girl, if you’re lost at sea Come on, forget to breathe Make love, make love to me Lay down your arms and see There’s no war you need to win Come on, forget to think Make love, make love with me It’s gotta be like the first time It's gotta be as you want it I gotta follow the paths leading to where you feel cold And till I fall asleep I will warm your soul up Make love, make love with me For love, for love we live It’s gotta be like the first time It's gotta be as you want it I gotta follow the paths leading to where you feel cold And till U fall asleep I will warm your soul up Make love, make love with me Oh girl, if you’re lost at sea Come on, forget to breathe For love, for love we live

Stay Awake 04:03
Hi, do you see that orange pub? Would you like to go there? Ah, this is not bad, oh Ah yeah, It’s not bad, oh Sure, only a drink, well, maybe two Just to laugh our heads off Ah, ’till we go mad, oh Ah, ’till we go mad and If you want to stay awake I will lead you here by my side If you are tired of just being friends Tell me so, you don’t have to say it twice If you want to stay awake I’ll be your wonderful night If you swear you will never let me down Each joke we tell is a little lie 'Cause you have to try me How can I tell you that? How can I tell you that? Free, won’t you live my love and set me free? 'Cause I’m deeply rolling I think I’ve gone mad, yeah I think I’ve gone mad, yeah If you want to stay awake I will lead you here by my side If you are as tired of this as I am Tell me so, you don’t have to say it twice If you want to stay awake I’ll be your damn crazy night If you promise you will go crazy about me Hi, you can’t always go on your own You can’t always do that I’m going mad, I know I’m going mad to make you know Yeah it’s easier said than done It’s a lot of work for me How can I work it out? How can I tell you that? How can I tell you that? If you want to stay awake I will lead you here by my side If you are tired of just being friends Tell me so, you don’t have to say it twice If you want it too, stay awake And I’ll be your wonderful night If you swear you will never let me, let me down

What I really feel Yeah what I wedge in me You don’t know, don’t see Oh let’s face up to it What do you care about? I really care about you There’s something above this sky I want to show you What do you say now? Don’t be unclear now Something more if you come close Something more if you come close God, I need a gift Oh, use the force, Luke, please If you never realised It's because I’ve been a fool for years What will you do, now? I really just want to know I’d like to take you around this world for a minute What do you say now? Don’t be unclear now So, what is your answer? Don’t put my hopes down There are some secrets I’d love you to uncover What do you think now? What are you thinking right now? Something more if you come close Something more if you come close

Gravity 04:57
Still gravity goes, I must try not to fall What’s throwing me down? Who's stolen my hands? Can’t find my own line Can’t see it at all I’m forcing myself to breathe I’m forcing myself to breathe You’ve scratched my eyes You’ve blown up my mind It still feels like you have never left my side Still feeling those warm embraces I once knew I’ve been travelling across space and I’m limping, I’m hurt like a soldier Oh it’s tearing me apart, my good friend So stop playing hide and seek now I’ve been travelling miles away Spent days looking under rocks and now It’s true, I will never have you back I’m just going straight into nowhere Still gravity goes, There’s no time delay I see a leaf falling down And crash upon my feet What can you do against Newton’s law? It should remind me things go the way they want Still think that you have never tried Yeah, you have never tried hard to keep me by your side I’ve been travelling across space and I’m limping, hurt like a soldier Oh it’s tearing me apart, my good friend So stop playing hide and seek now I’ve been travelling miles away Spent days looking under rocks and now Yeah, It’s true, I will never have you back I’m just going straight into nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Connection 03:29
My thoughts are travelling miles to the other side of the world Those mixed feelings you well know won’t let me go We’ve done things all lovers would do Still unsure if it was love But I started being a little different Since the day we talked I still jump to every message that you send We need to influence each other, that’s what you said Let’s help save an endangered animal Let’s plant thousands of trees Make a difference by ourselves Push out this monkey politics Cause after all We’ve got dreams we gotta fight to keep alive After all We’ve got destinies that we can keep entwined We’ve got destinies and we can make them shine I will be afraid to go out there no more And make a lesson out of the mistakes we’ve done Spread the love with every word as someone might be listening Cause I remember when I said That you will never going to change me And after all We’ve got dreams that I’ll be glad to see you achieve After all We’ve got destinies we gotta keep entwined After all We gotta take the chance and make it right If you’re still my friend on the other side And after all We’ve got destinies we gotta keep entwined We’ve got destinies and we can make them shine
