Breaking Me
03:27
|
|||
|
Thrown on the floor
Here I lie
I cannot move 'cause I'm paralised
You scream and shout at me
I try to get on my knees
But you keep pushing me down
And wouldn't let me leave
And I don't get a chance
To defend myself
'Cause you're not able
To calm down again
So you're shaking me
Tryin' to breaking me
Taking everything from me
And leave my heart and soul to bleed
'Cause you're shaking me
Tryin' to breaking me
Now that I'm defenseless
Here in this very moment
The things you say when you're angry with me
You use them like a knife to hurt me deep inside
Although I've tried everything to keep you satisfied
And bring some light into those heavy times
But you pushed me away
Right into a twist of faith
And I'm falling so deep that it aches
You're taking all my innoscence
'Cause you know you can
(You know you can)
So you're shaking me
Tryin' to breaking me
Taking everything from me
And leave my heart and soul to bleed
'Cause you're shaking me
Tryin' to breaking me
Now that I'm defenseless
Here in this very moment
I'm not myself anymore
I used to smile and enjoy my life
You've changed something inside of me
I live in panic and anxiety
But I will break free
Thrown on the floor
Here I lie (hum)

Pieces
03:22
|
|||
|
I gave you my life
Don't know what to say
I tried to explain
That's just not the way it goes (oh oh oh)
We've come down a long road
From the places we've once been
I'm closing my eyes now to remember how it feels
But all the good times seem out of reach
I can't stand what I've become around you
When I try to break free you wouldn't let me go
You keep tellin' me things that I don't wanna know
I want you to leave
Just turn on your heels
And go away from me
I gave you my live
You ripped it in pieces
Don't know what to say
I cannot believe this
I tried to explain
But you don't understand me
That's just not the way it goes
(Oh oh oh)
I gave you all I've got but
It never seemed to be enough
No matter what I did
I wasn't able to light up your dark
Even when I tried to help you up
You'd push me away
Again and again
I can't breathe when I'm around you
I try to run away and cut these sharp reins loose
But you're pulling me back
It's not that I could choose
I'm risking a bruise
Loving you can be cruel
I wish I had the strength to finally leave you
I can't love you like this
Even if you want me to
I gave you my live
You ripped it in pieces
Don't know what to say
I cannot believe this
I tried to explain
But you don't understand me
That's just not the way it goes (oh oh oh)
It's just not right
You left my heart bleedin'
All we do is fight
Without a reason or meaning
The tears I've cried
'Cause you left me standing here in the rain
Saying 'Take it or leave it'
But that's just not the way it goes
(I can't breathe when I'm around you)
(I try to run away and cut these sharp reins loose)
(That's just not the way)
(That's just not the way it goes)

In the Shadows
05:10
|
|||
|
I decided to live in the shadows
'Cause I'll hide from the world today
Love is really hard to find
And all your delusions will lead me astray
It never scared me to be all alone
In the dark
Since I've always trusted
The love of my heart
I was brave, I was kind
And so eager to find
All the answers for the questions
That occupied my mind
But once in a while
I would open myself up to someone else
And most of the time
I got lost and hurt deep inside
I decided to live in the shadows
'Cause I'll hide from the world today
Love is really hard to find
And all your delusions will lead me astray
When you live for too long on
Your own like a stray
The nights will get longer
And the hope for change decays
I don't understand why
The values and treasures of life
Have become so irrelevant to us
'Cause everytime
I tried to connect with someone else
I was rejected for who I am
And got lost deep inside
I decided to live in the shadows
'Cause I'll hide from the world today
Love is really hard to find
And all your delusions will lead me astray
After all these years of hiding
I've become a shadow of myself
I need to feel alive again
No matter what it takes, so
I will go out there and show my
Colours to the world because
Everyone has something to give
(Something to give)
I decided to live in the shadows
'Cause I'll hide from the world today
Love is really hard to find
And all your delusions will lead me astray
I decided to live in the shadows
'Cause I'll hide from the world today
Love is really hard to find
And all your delusions will lead me astray
I decided to live in the shadows
'Cause I'll hide from the world today
Love is really hard to find
And all your delusions will lead me astray

Everyone Goes
03:11
|
|||
|
Everyone goes around me
Everyone goes around
Everyone shows upon me
Everyone goes around, around, around
Will you wait until the lands
Around us are going under?
And the roaring of the sea
Turns into thunder
When all the lifestyles we created
Make us lonley and frustrated
Now the time has come to act as one
You're the only one who can change it
(Uh-uh-uh)
Many things do not matter
So many things don't matter to us anymore
We always pretend to know better
But in the end we're not aware
And most of us don't care
Will you wait until the lands
Around us are going under?
And the roaring of the sea
Turns into thunder
When the systems we've created
Are turning old and dissipated
Now the time has come to act as one
You're the only one who can change it

Nothing in Return
04:26
|
|||
|
You do what you want
And wouldn't stick to the rules
Take what you can get and act
Like you have nothing to lose
But you don't see me at all
I'm just a meaningless fool for you
Something you can milk until
It's sore
To fill all the holes
Of your inspiteful soul
You are only using me for all the
Incurable wounds of yours
That just won't heal
And when you go don't call out my name
And when you cry I won't ease your pain
As you won't care about me if I would go insane
'Cause you give nothing
Nothing in return
You just take away
You just take away
You just take away
You just take away
You're pulling me down
With every word you say
A perfect drama stage scenario that defrays
Your pathetic existence
Drowning yourself in excuses
For nothing and everything
But I can't bear your pain
And I can't take it away
Having everything means
Nothing to your greed
I gave you all I could
But it's not what you need
I can feel your grudge against me
Stop pretending when you say you love me
'Cause your thoughts are telling differently
And when you go don't call out my name
And when you cry I won't ease your pain
As you won't care about me if I would go insane
'Cause you give nothing
Nothing in return
You just take away
As I said, I can't bear the pain
You constantly try to share
It lies heavily on my heart
And leaves its scars
I gave you so much
But I've lost myself along the way
You tried to make me weak
But you got no hold of me
But you got no hold of me
And when you go don't call out my name
And when you cry I won't ease your pain
As you won't care about me if I would go insane
'Cause you give nothing
Nothing in return
You just take away

Lies
03:54
|
|||
|
Believe all their lies
Believe all their lies
Believe all their lies
Na, na, na
You're an individual
But you don't see it
You are a unique creature
But you don't believe it
You have your own mind and soul
Why don't you feel it?
You pray for a change, but stay in line
Well-behaved and teeter
To the controlling beat of you leaders' whip
We were conditioned to exist, not to live
They keep twisting facts or just hold them back
We are sleep-walking slaves waitin' in a stack
Who we truely are, we forget
Stop living a lie
They make us enemies
The world's a battle field
This is not what we need
Stop living a lie
To make the world a better place
We have to stop the hate
And to forgive mistakes
It's up to you and me
Everyday you get your
Information to eat
A generation of distracted minds
Can be deluded so easily
They keep injecting us
With an invisible shadow called fear
And make us consume
All that useless shit we don't need
Who do you think
Are the ones in charge?
We are led astray to make sure
We don't concentrate
On the essential things
In life and obey
As long as you don't understand
The games they play
You won't be free
You don't need any permission
To change your position
Stop living a lie
They make us enemies
The world's a battle field
This is not what we need
Stop living a lie
To make the world a better place
We have to stop the hate
And to forgive mistakes
It's up to you and me
(Stop living a lie)
Stop living a lie
I'm fed up with the games they play
(I'm hurt and sore)
I'm not listening to what they say
(Anymore)
I don't do what they want me to do
(And mindlessly consume)
I'll stick to my own values and rules
I'm fed up with the games they play
(I'm hurt and sore)
I'm not listening to what they say
(Anymore)
I don't do what they want me to do
(And mindlessly consume)
I'll stick to my own values and rules
Because I'm not a fool
Stop living a lie
They make us enemies
The world's a battle field
This is not what we need
Stop living a lie
To make the world a better place
We have to stop the hate
And to forgive mistakes
(Stop living a lie)
Stop living a lie

I lie awake at night
The thought of you wouldn't let me sleep
When I secretly cry
You won't see the tears
I'm losing my patience
I want you to hold me tight
But you're not here with me
And I'm about to lose my mind
'Cause when I see you standing there, mh
I know this leads to nowhere
'Cause when we look at each other
Can you feel it?
It goes from one to another, yeah
When we look at each other
The affection grows stronger
Do you feel? It seems so real
When we look at each other
When I lie here in the dark
I wish I could lie in your arms
You're pulling so strongly
At the strings of my heart
No matter what I do
I can't let go of you
And I really need to know
If these feelings are true
And if you feel it, too
And when I see you passing by, mh
I wish that I would catch your eye
'Cause when we look at each other
Can you feel it?
It goes from one to another, yeah
When we look at each other
The affection grows stronger
Do you feel? It seems so real
When we look at each other
'Cause everytime you pass me by, mh
I feel something I can't deny
But all you do is smile
Can you feel it?
It goes from one to another
'Cause when we look at each other
Can you feel it?
It goes from one to another, yeah
When we look at each other
The affection grows stronger
Do you feel? It seems so real
When we look at each other

Dungeons of My Soul
03:56
|
|||
|
When you don't see the sun shine anymore
And your heart is not able to beat for love
Your fears keep eating you up inside
And you drown in the river of tears you've cried
I lock up the doors again
I built up a wall and hide in the dark
And each time I try to stand
My doubts will make me fall
Is someone out there to help me up?
Who breaks the chains and sets me free again
From the dungeons my soul is captured in
I am running in circles and it just won't stop
Deep in your soul your good memories start to die
When you find out the most things you lived for were a lie
Everything is broken inside of me
When I walk upon the fragments of my heart
I cut my feet
And as it starts to bleed
I spit it all out
All the blood running through my veins
To make myself numb again
'Cause I can't bear feeling this pain
Is someone out there to help me up?
Who breaks the chains and sets me free again
From the dungeons my soul is captured in
I am running in circles and it just won't stop
Is someone out there to help me up?
Who breaks the chains and sets me free again
From the dungeons my soul is captured in
I am running in circles and it just won't stop
No one's there for me to hold
All of these people are rejecting and cold
No one intends to work things out
I'm lying here in my prison
Frozen to the ground (screaming so loud)
Is someone out there to help me up?
Who breaks the chains and sets me free again
From the dungeons my soul is captured in
I am running in circles and it just won't stop

Black Maze
03:45
|
|||
|
I'm waiting in the dark for someone
To come and set me free
Someone who gets me out of here
All I feel is numb
I've lost the voice of my heart
And it aches
How can I feel love again?
I'm caught in a black maze
And I cannot find the exit
And I'm running and running out of time
As I just can't find my way here
To give a sense to this life and survive
It seems I've lost my direction
'Cause I've kept my feelings neglected
I have to find a way out here as soon as I can
Sometimes the world can be a jungle
So many people try to talk you into how you should be
Until you become someone
You cannot relate to anymore
And you're closing the door to your heart
And throw the keys away, far apart
Do you get mad sometimes?
Because you feel like you're losing control
You get easily confused
A lot of things just don't make sense to you
I'm caught in a black maze
And I cannot find the exit
And I'm running and running out of time
As I just can't find my way here
To give a sense to this life and survive
It seems I've lost my direction
'Cause I've kept my feelings neglected
I've lost my own tracks
Don't know where I'm at
I can't see through these walls
And all my calls get lost in the dark
I drove myself into a dead-end
How can I get out again?
Can't get through your hearts' barb-wired fences
I'm caught in a black maze
And I cannot find the exit
And I'm running and running out of time
As I just can't find my way here
To give a sense to this life and survive
It seems I've lost my direction
'Cause I've kept my feelings neglected

Is This Love?
04:14
|
|||
|
Caught in a moment
Walls start to turn
Just one look at you
And I feel like the little girl I used to be
I am weak
Haunted by my fears
Didn't know how much you feel for me
That you felt anything at all
It's forbidden
It might be dangerous
But all I want right now is that
You hold me in your arms
Is this love? Is it really me?
Am I about to give into something
That's not supposed to be?
But I don't care
If it's wrong or right
It's just you and me tonight
I guess you're well aware
That you woke things in me
That I can't resist
Although you know it isn't fair
But no one ever made me feel so real
Us being together was just a fantasy
'Cause in the end you couldn't give me
What I need
Or was it meant to be?
Please tell me!
Is this love? Is it really me?
Am I about to give into something
That's not supposed to be?
But I don't care
If it's wrong or right
It's just you and me tonight
First I thought I'm trying to find a way
To escape the remedies of my past, so to say
I wasn't thinking
There could be something between us
That would ever last
SOLO
I thought it's love
Between you and me
But in the moment you left I knew
It was never meant to be

In Your Hands
03:49
|
|||
|
You can read from the scars on my heart
That it's not easy for me
To open up about myself
Too many things went wrong in the past
Once you've got hurt
Love will never be the same again
But my heart's just hurt, not broken
You'll never know if fate's on your side
If you don't give it a try
I lay my heart in your hands
And I will give it to you
This is something I didn't plan
But it feels right to me
I'm not afraid this time
So I give you the keys to my heart
And trust you're not afraid when you see
All the different shades and pieces of me
I was constantly fallin' in love with the wrong guy
So I decided to keep my heart out of love for a while
But who knew, it would be you
Who came into my life
And changed all the rules
Since I locked up all my doors
But you came through
But all I can do now is waiting for you
Believe me, I'm scared of this, too
Now the time seems right to fall in love again
I lay my heart in your hands
And I will give it to you
This is something I didn't plan
But it feels right to me
I'm not afraid this time
So I give you the keys to my heart
And trust you're not afraid when you see
All the different shades and pieces of me
I lay my heart in your hands
And I wanna thank you now
For loving me

Sinners
03:45
|

|
He didn't get a ticket
There're only tickets left for hell
He's got all his work done
Nothing more to tell
He couldn't afford a place
A place in heaven
To have his sins erased
But the price is high and he's unable to pay
Read the lines, sinner
Swallow all your pride
Read the lines, sinner
With the beacons of hope out of sight
Read the lines, sinner
Keeping your minds confined
Read the lines, sinner
Believe us cause it's testified
I had my troubles to pray
'Cause I wanted to express my thoughts differently
Some things don't need to be said
It's the way you act that shows if you're a good woman or man
No one needs to hide behind a mask
Read the lines, sinner
Swallow all your pride
Read the lines, sinner
With the beacons of hope out of sight
Read the lines, sinner
Keeping your minds confined
Read the lines, sinner
Believe us cause it's testified
Read the lines, sinner
Swallow all your pride
Read the lines, sinner
With the beacons of hope out of sight
Read the lines, sinner
Keeping your minds confined
Read the lines, sinner
Believe us cause it's testified
Read the lines, sinner
Written lines can become a prison of mind
Question your opinion from time to time
In the end we're all the same, the same
Above us a darkening sky
As we destroy our earthly paradise
We are the ones who turn
Heaven into hell just by ourselves
Swallow all your pride
With the beacons of hope out of sight
Keeping your minds confined
Believe us cause it's testified
Read the lines, sinner
Swallow all your pride
Read the lines, sinner
With the beacons of hope out of sight
Read the lines, sinner
Keeping your minds confined
Read the lines, sinner
Believe us cause it's testified
Read the lines, sinner
Swallow all your pride
(Written lines can become a prison of mind)
With the beacons of hope out of sight
(Question your opinion from time to time)
Keeping your minds confined
(In the end we're all the same)
Believe us cause it's testified (the same)

Heartbeat
04:52
|
|||
|
I can feel the beat of your heart
When you're lying next to me
Are we really in love
Or do we just pretend to be?
There's always been a real feeling
When I looked into your eyes
Should I trust your words
Or is it just a game we play?
Sometimes you're like the rain
That washes over me
And kills all this pain but
There's one thing you should know
What you get in the end is the seeds that you sowed
But you turned your back on me
And I don't know why, I don't know why
Why'd you turn your back on me
And I don't know 'til this day
You turned your back on me
And I don't know why, I don't know why
Why'd you turn your back on me
You turned your back on me
Once there was a time (once there was a time)
Where I saw you in my dreams
I've never told you the truth
About how I really felt for you
And I know it's too late now but
What hurts the most
Is that you've thrown me away
Like a meaningless piece of trash
Your coldness disgusts me
You left without a word being said
Why'd you turn your back on me
And I don't know why, I don't know why
Why'd you turn your back on me
And I don't know 'til this day
You turned your back on me
And I don't know why, I don't know why
Why'd you turn your back on me
You turned your back on me
You need to talk to me
You left me standing here
Right in the middle of nowhere
I don't know what to say
Where to go, who to hold
All I feel is left outside alone
Where did you go?
What do you judge me for?
Ah-ah-ah
Why'd you turn your back on me
And I don't know why, I don't know why
Why'd you turn your back on me
And I don't know 'til this day
You turned your back on me
And I don't know why, I don't know why
Why'd you turn your back on me
You turned your back on me
(Your back on me)
But you turned your back on me
