We all do stuff that we’re not proud of Gotta face the consequence I am a man, I’ve got my traumas I Might do it all again The stupid witch that we call Karma Pays a visit every day But all I needed back then Was some momentarily relief It was a good night And it felt right ‘Coz it took away my pain It was a good night And it felt right ‘Coz it took away my pain We are conditioned firestarters No one’s born with this fake gift Slowly grow to hate each other We don’t think before we speak And what you said has left a mark on My innocent brain Made me hurt you even harder I have acted out of rage It was a good night And it felt right ‘Coz it took away my pain It was a good night And it felt right ‘Coz it took away my pain I wish I didn’t start that fire But it made me who I am I finally feel good under my skin There is nothing to regret It was a good night And it felt right ‘Coz it took away my pain It was a good night And it felt right ‘Coz it took away my pain It was a good night And it felt right ‘Coz it took away my pain It was a good night And it felt right ‘Coz it took away my pain

This pressure is A pain in my balls Wondering if I can keep up There's just too much to lose A huge self-doubt But I have to face it Time to set the pace There’s no way out So let me be sane, drain, brain Let them poison the well I'll be the one to dry it out I'll do it my way This is where I stand My friends and band push me up They have a way to keep my head up Instead of just giving up on such a treasure Do it or die Time to remind myself again that I can Who I am So let me be sane, drain, brain Let them poison the well I'll be the one to dry it out I'll do it my way I own this No strings attached No strings attached No strings attached No strings attached So let me be sane, drain, brain Let them poison the well I'll be the one to dry it out I'll do it my way Like I wanted Let me shine now I'm gonna do it My life depends on it I'll do it my way This is where I stand

It’s hard to leave The comfort of your home I know Spending hours and hours In portrait mode It’s fun to be So high and always in control But eventually You’ll need to reload Oh Honey Can’t you see it’s sunny outside Up on your feet No more swapping days for the nights Up on your feet Suddenly you’re like a bomb Light the fuse and we’ll be gone So keep on walking Can’t you see it’s sunny outside I try to keep Your body warm and belly full Joining in the moments you’re alone Another week I question am I friend or foe? Is this relationship Turning to stone Oh Honey Can’t you see it’s sunny outside Up on your feet No more swapping days for the nights Up on your feet Suddenly you’re like a bomb Light the fuse and we’ll be gone So keep on walking Can’t you see it’s sunny outside Can’t you see it’s sunny outside No more swapping days for the nights Up on your feet Suddenly you’re like a bomb Light the fuse and we’ll be gone So keep on walking Can’t you see it’s sunny outside Keep on walking Oh Honey, It’s sunny It’s sunny Can’t you see it’s sunny outside Can’t you see it’s sunny outside

I’ve been living afraid Will life ever give me the things that I want Trying hard to shut down the pain Not letting the demons inside come out to play I’ve been losing those battles alone And it’s crushing my bones So I’m done with the lying today Nothing will suffice I am not ok Don’t I wanna? I wanna don’t wanna I’ve been dreaming away The ghosts of the past and the death traps they set for me Suddenly I feel the rage Pulling the strings I lose all hope to stay Selling my body and soul out to luck Nah I don’t give a fuck I am done I just forfeit this day Nothing will suffice I am not ok Don’t I wanna? I wanna don’t wanna Every day I keep fading away Going through hell not able to switch off Will I ever feel sane? Am I done, Am I done trying to fit in? Seems like falling Feel the breeze and enjoy it Another day goes by Glad it's over

And we’re swinging at these roundabouts again If we don’t choose an exit We will surely end up dead There goes another one Getting dizzy drawing circles in a square We both think that crashing is a viable solution Damn, what have we become? I’m the rock and you’re the sponge What have we become? You want me to drive drunk ‘Cause at least it will be fun Am I crazy enough? Am I stupid enough? Am I happy enough? Am I crazy enough? While I’m driving us to paradise again You are texting someone else To tell them where you’ve been Girl you are messing up With the way I see my pride and confidence How can I recover from this accident illusion Damn, what have you done? I did nothing to deserve What you have done Now will I ever open up to anyone? Am I crazy enough? Am I stupid enough? Am I happy enough? Am I crazy enough? No I don’t wanna be with someone ‘Cause I’m scared to start again No I don’t wanna be with someone Who makes me feel bad for who I am Am I crazy enough? Am I stupid enough? Am I happy enough? Am I crazy enough? Am I pretty enough? Am I clever enough? Am I trendy enough? Am I crazy enough?

I knew inside something was wrong with me Was rarely sober to acknowledge and see That social phobia, anxiety inside Same old people same old places all the time It’s funny how the booze would make me comply With jumping off the roof and picking a fight And by the time I’m home my bleeding mouth would say Different night same old story every day There's no control No control Here we go a brand new Friday I need to keep my cool By faking interest in the others Crazy shit they have to say Get a grip There’s no need to stay all night I’ve been facing all these demons here I’ll let them stand by I had to let go of things I can’t control I can’t control It’s all I know There’s no control No control I can’t control It’s all I know There’s no control No control Now I see I was the enemy I had to find a way To stop telling myself That they were friends And I belonged with them Stay on it Just sit back, enjoy the ride I’ve been facing all these demons here I’ll let them stand by I had to let go of things I can’t control I can’t control It’s all I know There’s no control No control I can’t control It’s all I know There’s no control No control I can’t control It’s all I know There’s no control No control I can’t control It’s all I know There’s no control No control

Hey You Why don’t you just stay to say all That you have to say Hey You I’ve been waiting here to tell you You were strong and brave But Long ago you started acting like a ghost It’s hard I know, when you can’t find yourself no I don’t wanna lose somebody too I don’t wanna lose somebody too We’re better as a team There ain’t no you without me Together we can dream It will become reality Let’s go We can move around the whole world We can find a place Let’s go We can prove that we are worthy Ain’t no time to waste I hope you know, I’ll always be beside you It’s hard I know, but you will find what you’ve lost I don’t wanna lose somebody too I don’t wanna lose somebody too We’re better as a team There ain’t no you without me Together we can dream It will become reality

Here and Now 02:00
If I had a day to study And another to make money And another one in front of my TV If I had a day for washing And another to do nothing Then I wouldn’t be complaining every week It’s not fair The world is so messed up I feel like giving up Sometimes Then I think of what I’ve got All I have is here and now All I have is here and now with you All I have is here and now All I have is here and now with you If I had a day to sleep And a day to count the sheep And another one to play my saxophone If I had a day to think And a day to see a shrink I wouldn’t feel my mental health is gone It’s not fair The world is so fucked up I want it to explode Blow up Taking everything I’ve got So all I have is here and now All I have is here and now with you All I have is here and now All I have is here and now with you

Merlin 02:23
You got it All I wanted I’m lying under your spell Sleepless nights Never-ending So stubborn, untamed I can’t understand Tug war, who’s in control It’s crazy to me how much we have grown You got it And all the barks and destruction Sometimes I feel like an animal ready to bite back I don’t wanna make the wrong move Let our connection grow beyond the end You got it I know I never felt so well And I’m telling everybody It's you and me defying hell You got it No need to live life all alone Cause I’ve found somebody All I wanted all along You got it Let's go! I know I never felt so well And I’m telling everybody It's you and me defying hell You got it No need to live life all alone Cause I’ve found somebody I’ve found somebody And now I’m home

Never moved so slowly In my entire life I am avoiding home But I don’t wanna stay out all night Every inch I’m getting closer to you Makes me start to shake And analyse the heaviness of choices that I make I shouldn’t feel incapable of doing what it takes You should know I’ve been burning all the bridges I’ve acting out of reason I can’t take no more You should know You’ve been blaming my decisions Out of pure joy for the friction I can’t take no more For me love is holy It stands the test of time I’m not saying though I have never loved you, all right? But the way we name our feelings Is inaccurate and strange I’ll keep you at a distance so I can begin to change I can’t believe I’ll never sing a song for you again You should know I’ve been burning all the bridges I’ve acting out of reason I can’t take no more You should know You’ve been blaming my decisions Out of pure joy for the friction I can’t take no more Hold on I’m not done yet You’re strong You can make it It won’t be Without me We’ve stood some kind of test Let’s just call it what it is You should know I’ve been burning all the bridges I’ve acting out of reason I can’t take no more You should know You’ve been blaming my decisions Out of pure joy for the friction I can’t take no more I can’t take no more

Masquerade 02:56
I’d say I’m the best of me when I’m alone Learning how to perfect my philosopher’s stone So I can turn all the meaningless encounters into gold And if I’m not feeling the connection I’d rather say no Social suicide I’m not afraid to die Living in a masquerade Social suicide Don’t wanna be alive Living in a masquerade A masquerade Some say a little lie is good for the soul Bullshit! It makes me sick to the bone I see these people using others to get what they want And if it’s a weakness to be honest I’ll never be strong Social suicide I’m not afraid to die Living in a masquerade Social suicide Don’t wanna be alive Living in a masquerade A masquerade I can throw a party I can drink too much I can chat to everyone Talk about my money I can spend it all And pretend I’m having fun But I’m taking a break Some important shit I need to sort out I’m taking a break If you wanna kill me, what you waiting for? Just go ahead now Go ahead now Social suicide I’m not afraid to die Living in a masquerade Social suicide Don’t wanna be alive Living in a masquerade Social suicide I’m not afraid to die Living in a masquerade Social suicide Don’t wanna be alive Living in a masquerade

When the hell did we get used to life as it is? We are reading the headlines and sipping our beers Most of the time I wish that I could disappear But not today coz I wanna be more than Just Another victim of manipulation Trust No comprehension just misinformation There’s more than two sides in a war When the hell did we get used to life as it is? Still alive but we’re constantly living in fear Fucking rockets are flying all over their heads And if you see any difference between Or distance between us Both And another human hanging by their Throat Then you might as well just choose the big boy Club And start another war We’re stuck between the sounds Of people trying to be right They're stuck within their towns They might not make it out alive So what’s the point? What’s the point? We’re stuck between the sounds Of people trying to be right They're stuck within their towns They might not make it out alive So what’s the point? What’s the point? What’s the point?

They called me in the dead the night To tell me you were gone, dad I knew it was a matter of time But it didn’t make it easier Felt like I was falling Looking at you for the last time Never been so fucking scared When it hit me you're not gonna be there Every day in the morning I wish you could witness the change in my life I'm finally getting better, why I waited till you die? Miss you so I can not lie Can’t help but feeling like a bad son all the time Reliving the moments
