Drive 'n energy

My drive and energy has hit another low
As mindless anger burns my fuel
Hope for salvation died a long long time ago
Found face down in a shallow pool
When the claws of anxiety grips me
And i´m just about to lose control
When another bomb goes off in my head
When every diagnose seems to fit me
And I wanna put it all on hold
I don´t know if there is a cure
but I know for sure there´ll be plenty of peace
And I´m..
Dead set to rise above the demons in my head
Who knots my gut and break my heart
Who fuels my violent thoughts and fills my mind with dread
Knocks me from finish back to start
When the claws of anxiety grips me
And I´m just about to lose control
When another bomb goes off in my head
When every diagnose seems to fit me
And I wanna put it all on hold
I don´t know if there is a cure
but I know for sure there´ll be plenty of peace
when I´m dead

New human being
01:01

Get introduced to the new human being
Addicted at 5, eyes fixed on a screen
With a brain in catatonic state
Amazing what a century can create
Reality can really fuck with head
When you're looking around and you envy the dead
Maybe I'm stuck in the past and before
But I know what was and is not anymore
You can't relax and you can’t detox
surrounded by people fucked up on drugs
The social scene is gonna drive you mad
Cause the time you share will be the worst time had
Evolution and the damage done
Game over nobody won
I don´t care but I could care less
The new human being makes me depressed

Voice of the condemned
02:55
|
|||
|
Born into this world
on the edge of the abyss
Where every minute lived
will leave you scarred
Then a mental revolution
strips you from all illusions
Start seeing things for what they are
And another word for happiness is numb
And everything that we were taught was wrong
So read between the lines and hear the words that's left unsaid
now every sign of liberty has gone
The voice of the condemned is heard by none

Punchdrunk
01:42
|
|||
|
You won`t stop talking and you´re talking too loud
Getting everything covered in spit
It's foul decay that comes when your mouth
it spews a steady stream of shit
And I´m punchdrunk brains running out my ears
and I´m battle weary, tired to death
Like an open book you confirm my fears
and now I´ve got a pain in my head
I call bullshit
on everything that you say and do
and so this one goes out to you

Negative
03:10
|

You see prosperity
I see a world that's bleeding
While you are fast asleep
I sometimes wake up screaming
you seem to live your life
No questions asked, no wonder
I feel the undertow
It tries to drag me under
Only a full blown psycho
will survive this wasteland
The intelligent mind will sure regress
At least I get to scream mine out in a rock band
approaching 40 pissing blood in the process
Positive attitude what a load of shit
I´ll be negative forever or whenever I see fit
If you´re so damn happy there is something
wrong with you
I´ll be pissed off, nagging till my time is through

Intense violent death
02:38
|
|||
|
First punch strikes glass
It breaks and punctures eye
Next hits the nose
Blood flows and makes me smile
Skull fracture, vengeance sweet
Bites his tongue with broken teeth
Hate so sincere
Die motherfucker, bleed out right here
So this is how you meet your end
As a victim of your own rage
You brought it on yourself my friend
So here is a kick in your face

People in white
02:55

Happiness comes, just a few drops each day
so close to home, yet so far away
When evening arrives my head is my cell
It´s my little prison, it's my private hell
My fellow companions the hallways they roam
Dull attitudes and faces like stone
Daylight will come with a promise to keep
But it's such a long wait when you can't fall asleep
Some´s been here for days
While some are counting months
I am counting seconds while my heart it races on
Then a thought it strikes me as I’m staring at the wall
In here I´ve got everything
outside I'll lose it all
A smile and a pill from the people in white
A pad on the back lets me know it's alright
It doesn't make you retard when you go against the grain
This place ensures me that I´m not insane
My fellow companions the hallways they roam
Dull attitudes and faces like stone
Daylight will come with a promise to keep
But it's such a long wait when you can't fall asleep
Some´s been here for days
While some are counting months
I am counting seconds while my heart it races on
Then a thought it strikes me as I’m staring at the wall
In here I´ve got everything
outside I'll lose it all
Could this be a good thing
Could this be for the best
try and find myself again
and maybe get some rest
When things are looking gloomy
and there's no hope in sight
There's people paid to care
and it's the people..
The people in white

Forever fucked
02:53
|
|||
|
Last time I checked my head was all fucked up
And my thoughts were on the run
But then I scream a bit and the pressure seems to drop
But it's never really gone
And judging from the smell this place is full of shit
And the doors are barred and shut
And life it sucks no matter what you make of it
You remain forever fucked
And not a day goes by where I don´t think of giving up
And leave it all for good
Just hit the lights and make these feelings stop
I just never really could
And judging from the smell this place is full of shit
And the doors are barred and shut
And life it sucks no matter what you make of it
You remain forever fucked

Fresh mind
02:17
|

|
Passing
through degrees of great depression
Slicing
through flesh in vile aggression
Thinking
My thoughts are mean and tricky
Carving
My blood is red and sticky
I thought that I was painting the sun black
Because I had lost control
Felt that I was staring myself blind
Thought that I would find some hope
somewhere down the road
But I look at it, look at it
look at it, look at it now
with a fresh mind
