Everything Changed in a Minute 02:42
lyrics

There’s a crack on the wall and I’m sure it wasn’t there before When the sun leaks in it reveals what I couldn’t spot alone The dust of a hundred million stars The ruins of empires tumbled down The look on your face when you don’t realize We’re past the point where we can turn around Well everything changed in a minute We didn’t say bye to nobody I saw your face freeze but I couldn’t reset the screen The rules don’t work when the fools take back control Who cares about hope if we give up on our goals I would have chosen a different style The kind that makes you feel alive If you taste it honey just save me a slice And I hope you changed your plan before the tide Well everything changed in a minute We didn’t say bye to nobody I saw your face freeze but I couldn’t reset the screen Well everything changed in a minute We didn’t say bye to nobody I saw your face freeze but I couldn’t reset the screen Well everything changed Well everything changed Well everything changed Well everything changed I saw your face freeze but I couldn’t reset the screen

Should I Ever Forget 03:00
lyrics

Would you let your heart die in the cold? So why d’you feed your body not your soul? Let me take you down where I come from We’ll meet the kind of fools we may become When I ride you stall When I climb you crawl And if you sink I float How come we always end up caked in mud? Should I ever forget I just hope you’ll be there to remind me I just hope you’ll be there to remind me That none of the battles we fought were fought in vain Not even the ones we lost Not even the ones we lost You used to melt the ice with just a smile For you it was a simple trick of mind How could I be so dumb to let you fall I couldn't keep you safe from all your ghosts But when I ride you stall When I climb you crawl And if you sink I float How come we always end up caked in mud? And I would not bet my guns on a single drop of blood Should I ever forget I just hope you’ll be there to remind me I just hope you’ll be there to remind me That none of the battles we fought were fought in vain Not even the ones we lost Not even the ones we lost And should I ever forget I just hope you’ll be there to remind me I just hope you’ll be there to remind me That none of the battles we fought were fought in vain Not even the ones we lost Not even the ones we lost I just hope you’ll be there to remind me I just hope you’ll be there to remind me I just hope you’ll be there to remind me I just hope you’ll be there to remind me

Clones 02:54
lyrics

Can you swipe me right? Please don’t swipe me left And treat me like an Amazon gift Throw me away in your long black list Block my profile and mute me forever And you let them spy and play with their minds Test you until you fit some stereotype And you stare at the mirror with your symmetric smile But you can’t press the button at the same time And I won’t become a clone and join the mediocrity I’d rather be in my own company Don’t bury me yet I’ll dig my own grave And I’ve still got some stories to tell Can make you dream big can keep you awake I’m here to confess but no one will listen We don’t pay for love and we don’t sell out But you can ask me anything that comes to mind Just make me smile with a sarcastic swag If you can stand me one night you can be my clown And I won’t become a clone and join the mediocrity I’d rather be in my own company And I won’t become a clone and join the mediocrity I’d rather be in my own company

Eye for an Eye 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Well I got trapped in a war that wasn’t even mine And I was forced to choose between the worst of the good and the best of the bad And when you write your thoughts you’re also burning bridges and closing doors An eye for an eye will make the whole world go blind A tooth for a tooth won’t let me shut up your mouth They make us play their game They know how to divide and conquer But when the fire is over it’s just you and me again We saw you throw the stone and then hide away in your comfort zone And every foe you kill will be seen as a hero by your kids You’ll see them on your walls You’ll see their statues everywhere you go An eye for an eye will make the whole world go blind A tooth for a tooth won’t let me shut up your mouth They make us play their game They know how to divide and conquer But when the fire is over it’s just you and me again An eye for an eye will make the whole world go blind A tooth for a tooth won’t let me shut up your mouth They make us play their game They know how to divide and conquer But when the fire is over it’s just you and me again

Is This the End (Or Just the Beginning?) 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Is this the end? Is this the end? Is this the end or just the beginning? Or just the beginning? I’ve been eating from a broken plate again No one around me seemed to care I’ve been washing my hands ‘til my skin turned grey I couldn’t even share the pain Why is it always down to me to come and turn down the flame? There’s gonna be some justice done today Is this the end? How long have I been sleeping? Is this the end? The end of the make believers Is this the end or just the beginning? Or just the beginning? I should have followed you down Ebony Falls but I was tempted by the Ivory Tower I had all the signs in front of my eyes and I took them as a call to arms So I shut my mind and I just dived in when I was only meant to run If I could only roll back to that night Is this the end? How long have I been sleeping? Is this the end? The end of the make believers Is this the end or just the beginning? Let me take just one more sip One more sip before I forget Forget the things I need to learn to wash down all this blame Is this the end? How long have I been sleeping? Is this the end? The end of the make believers Is this the end or just the beginning? Or just the beginning?

Face the Threats 02:42
lyrics
buy track
The island where I live has no horizon ‘cause every time I try to look beyond All my eyes can see is a field of spinning swords How will we ever get across? Through scorching days and sweltering nights We lick our wounds from settled fights We search for routes to avoid the crowds Let’s face, let’s face, let’s face, let’s face the threats We’ll face the threats ahead Come fire, come hail We’ll face the threats Come fire, come hail Last thing we need right now is a Bible But there’s people who could do with a helping hand And not a voice shoving ideas up their heads ‘cause we don’t even scratch the surface And they gave us toys that made us sick We thought reality was in 2D And still we keep waiting for a treat Let’s face, let’s face, let’s face, let’s face the threats ` We’ll face the threats ahead Come fire, come hail We’ll face the threats Come fire, come hail, hail, hail, hail We’ll face the threats ahead Come fire, come hail We’ll face the threats Come fire, come hail

A Thousand Thoughts 03:11

A thousand thoughts running through my mind If I could only catch a single one A thousand beats pumping from my heart The fake promise of a brand new start A thousand thoughts, a thousand lies Disturb my brain but feed my heart And I swear I’m not on drugs. I swear I’m not on drugs A thousand thoughts, a thousand lies Plenty of fuel to feed our hearts A thousand thoughts, I can’t keep up Believe it or not I’m not on drugs Believe it or not I’m not on drugs This is going too fast, this is going too fast I don’t know how to act but I think I like it Let’s open that trap, let’s see what’s inside I gotta be more cat, I wanna be more cat A thousand thoughts, a thousand lies Disturb my brain but feed my heart And I swear I’m not on drugs. I swear I’m not on drugs A thousand thoughts, a thousand lies Plenty of fuel to feed our hearts A thousand thoughts, I can’t keep up Believe it or not I’m not on drugs Believe it or not I’m not on drugs A thousand thoughts running through my mind If I could only catch a single one A thousand beats pumping from my heart The fake promise of a brand new start A thousand thoughts, a thousand lies Disturb my brain but feed my heart And I swear I’m not on drugs. I swear I’m not on drugs A thousand thoughts, a thousand lies Plenty of fuel to feed our hearts A thousand thoughts, I can’t keep up Believe it or not I’m not on drugs Believe it or not I’m not on drugs This is going too fast, this is going too fast I don’t know how to act but I think I like it

Into the Wild 02:45
lyrics

There’s rewards for every sinner and salvation They put blame on every saint and repression But your body felt so cold and wet on that moonlit hidden path Down to the creek where we once lost our heads to regret that every time But you looked so lost and lovely when we first met Just like Kristen Stewart on “Into the Wild” You can keep all my band t-shirts or just throw them in the fire Give my records to the orphans, hide my remains in my guitar And I’ll think of you all the same when everything’s at stake For the sake of every victim who never made it into the wild There’s a clue in every trap if you listen And you can’t always get away with it if you’re a faker Are you ready for a challenge ‘cause I really need one now Just take me out of this reclusion before I explode and ruin your face But you looked so lost and lovely when we first met Just like Kristen Stewart on “Into the Wild” You can keep all my band t-shirts or just throw them in the fire Give my records to the orphans, hide my remains in my guitar And I’ll think of you all the same when everything’s at stake For the sake of every victim who never made it into the wild You can keep all my band t-shirts or just throw them in the fire Give my records to the orphans, hide my remains in my guitar And I’ll think of you all the same when everything’s at stake For the sake of every victim who never made it into the wild

Feel Your Pain 03:40

Am I expected? Am I expected to feel your pain? Oh I wish I had the choice to pick my game! Is it just me who thinks this isn’t that bad? I wouldn’t dare to be the fool who kills the vibe Is it just me who thinks this isn’t that bad? I wouldn’t change a single bit to ruin this sight But whenever I hit the boost you hit the brake, the brake It’s always too fast for you and too slow for me, for me Am I expected? Am I expected to feel your pain? Oh I wish I had the choice to pick my game! Am I expected? Am I expected to feel your pain? Oh I wish I had the choice to pick my game! These are just human problems in this artificial world You give us man-made trouble And I wish we were wild animals again, again Don’t bury me yet ‘cause the wind just turned around You don’t win or lose ‘til you cross the finish line I dug my own grave, tried my own medicine And it felt like it was meant to be that way But whenever I hit the boost you hit the brake, the brake It’s always too fast for you and too slow for me, for me Am I expected? Am I expected to feel your pain? Oh I wish I had the choice to pick my game! Am I expected? Am I expected to feel your pain? Oh I wish I had the choice to pick my game! These are just human problems in this artificial world You give us man-made trouble And I wish we were wild animals again, again, again

Sick Sick World 03:14

It’s a sick sick world, I keep trying to heal but it makes me get ill again It’s a toxic world, I keep holding my breath but it’s not only about the air It’s a sick damned world, it’ll take a leap of faith just to accept that we all need to change So throw your old pills away ‘cause we’re living in a sick sick world Can you still see your face Can you still see your face when you take a look inside the well? Can you still hear the birds ‘cross the cars, ‘cross the trains, ‘cross the dirty words we spray around? ‘Cause I can’t tell the city lights from the stars when it gets dark And I can’t tell the chem trails from the clouds when it gets bright It’s a sick sick world, I keep trying to heal but it makes me get ill again It’s a toxic world, I keep holding my breath but it’s not only about the air It’s a sick damned world, it’ll take a leap of faith just to accept that we all need to change So throw your old pills away ‘cause we’re living in a sick sick world Are you gonna get past tonight? It’s the end of the world tomorrow Are you gonna get past tonight? It’s the end of the world tomorrow Are you gonna get past tonight? It’s the end of the world tomorrow Are you gonna get past tonight? It’s the end of the world tomorrow It’s a sick sick world, I keep trying to heal but it makes me get ill again It’s a toxic world, I keep holding my breath but it’s not only about the air It’s a sick damned world, it’ll take a leap of faith just to accept that we all need to change So throw your old pills away. Throw your old pills away Throw your old pills away. Throw your old pills away Throw your old pills away ‘cause we’re living in a sick sick world
