Oh brother never lose your focus
Never try to settle down
move on and on and
Brother never lose your focus
just keep moving on
move on and on and
Jesus Christ, I'm damned
Look at my reflection again
don't I look just like a joke
I've never felt so alone
If Dave Lizewski was a loser
Damn what do I need to prove ya
Shit scares me to death
Feels like running in place
Never moan about
the consequences loud
Guess it's okay for sure
To feel a bit insecure
tryin’ to burn my life
And save the ashes
I could build it up
And take new chances
But as i've always been
I'm far too lazy
The rain will come
and wash away the ashes
I sift it through
But i can't see my chances
It formed to something
that reeks and sticks
And it will all go down
Like a sinking ship

The Sleepwalking Dead
02:33
|

I had a dream last night
That someday I would get it right
But now I’m wide awake
To see the mistakes that I’ve made
Dreaming of a future
While stuck here in the past
Mapping out big plans
That would never last
I’m always tired
But I can’t fall asleep
My brain won’t shut down
It keeps me wide awake
Lying awake at three AM
Wondering what could have been
When did life become so cold
Is it part of growing old?
Escape the inevitable
To grow up another day
Talk a lot about moving on
But don’t live by the words I say
I’m always tired
But I can’t fall asleep
My brain won’t shut down
It keeps me wide awake
Even when I sleep I dream of
Everything I missed out on
At times when I wake up
I don’t know how to keep going on
I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake
Keep going on

Boy, I'm Homesick
01:59
|

I wake up to familiar sounds
this city has gotten so loud
it’s been a long time since we’ve left
just some odd things I regret
Take my time, take my time
And I breathe it all out
Wide-eyed kids didn’t know
What this life’s all about
You were my anchor and my shoulder
Never wanted to get older
The city that saved my soul
But everything seems dead and gone
Dead and gone
I wake up to some random sounds
This city has changed without a doubt
Kids are no longer fighting back
In the gutter a withered descendents badge
Now I want to save this all again
But I am no savior my friend
Fuck this place and what it’s all about
All I see are lonely streets and broken dreams
Fuck this place and what it’s all about

Ghost In A Nutshell
02:29
|

The night is young but is it okay
If I'd close my eyes for a sec
I need a minute to sort my thoughts
Everything is happening too fast
I slow it down, take a deep breath
Think about where life has led me
Am I standing on the edge
Ready to fall… ready to fall?
Let's play a little mind game:
What if it's written in stone
Where you come from
And where you belong?
It feels so unreal
And all those people seem to blur
'Cause you never know
Are these all just ghosts
You're living for?
Is it time to go?
Disembark! Disembark!
I can barely stand on my own two feet
Still fighting demons living inside of me
I'm trying to make it better,
Trying to be a better me!
When I was 22 years old,
I had all to go for
Now i try to not fall asleep,
drunk and desperate
Surrounded by people I can barely stand
They told me their names,
another thing to forget
And now I'm storming out in the cold
The air in there was too bad!
I hear a voice: „step away from that ledge“
But what the fuck is the option? Falling instead?
Falling instead!

Crushing High Lifes
02:12
|
|||
From time to time I get the feeling
That I’ve been wasting away my best years
Now I’m much older, tired and jaded
Still not wiser than ten years ago
One day I’m on top of the world
Next morning I’m burning in hell
Got no idea how I ended up here
But I know I deserve where I’m at
The highest highs are always followed
By crushing lows that are out of my control
It always plays out exactly the same way
Still surprises me consistently
This fire‘s been burning forever
The devil’s been calling my name
I know I’ll be meeting him someday
Right now I’m only stoking the flames

Please tell, please tell me once again
Why am I here and what’s this band called?
While the amps just keep exploding in my head!
Where's Fred? Don't know! Let's get a drink,
These nights will pass within a blink
Oh gosh the boards of this basement are soaked in sweat
So I’m still waiting for a glimpse of hope
And I’m still smelling cheap perfume and smoke
My ears keep ringing when the world gets tired
And why do I keep getting lost, lost at night
Part ways, misplaced, I’m lost again
just leave me here guess it’s my own fault
Don’t know why I never wanna go to bed
No worries now, another drink
I let them drown, don’t stop to think
Do you remember when these nights were all we had
Oh tell me all about the nights, when we just got lost
When Fred just got lost!
And I know: This time I’m trying to keep my memories close
My memories close!

Better Broken
02:39
|
|||
So am I lost forever
Or is there a way out of this misery?
Just keep swallowing these pills
They promise you some better days but I'm
Fucked up forever
Do you think I could be saved?
These lights make me so tired,
I've never been so tired before
It's hard to walk with broken legs
It’s hard to think with fucked up brains
hard to forget and hard to love
It's hard to live with a broken heart
I'm better when I'm broken
Don't mistake my smile, i come apart
Nothing really lasts forever
Already feels like something's gone
Fucked up forever
singing in my smoky bedroom
I fell asleep, i never sleep
I haven't slept in years
Nothing can fix me
I can't get out of here
What if I can't feel
Nothing at all, nothing at all?
Would you please save me?
Please help me out here
Don’t let me die here,
All alone, all alone?

Apocalypse Whenever
02:25
|

Well it’s been a bad day
I watched our planet die
Get me home again
I just wanna sleep a while
And I don’t believe
We’ll make it through alive
But we’ll try…
Well I’d love to say that
This winter was so goddamn cold
And I’d love to see
My children growing old
But we keep
Kicking ourselves out of
Dive bars with broken windows
And we’re reeling, retreating
Until the light goes out...
And I wonder if you ever read the news?
Is this all a joke to you?
Or do you even have a clue
What this is all about?
Well the bad news are:
We’re all just gonna die
And oh my god how nice
To be almost alive
Well, it’s been a bad few years
Being totally honest
I can’t sleep, we never did
A thing that we promised
But I
Still think we have to keep on
Fighting for what we believe in

The One With Unagi
02:38

Drink down the weight of another year
It's been a while for you and me
I haven't seen you in weeks
What have you been up to all the time?
Do you have everything you need?
We tell us stories of better times
I order more drinks, damn we're fine!
Why aren't we doing this all the time?
When you're around
I feel like I could talk
As if nothing's changed
But I guess I'm wrong
We talk about next year
And all the plans we've made!
Shouldn't we act like things
Are still okay?
We might never change
But we've gone separate ways
Let this go, it's gone too far
We keep still we won't refill
Our empty glass!
High fives,
And half-hearted: „goodbyes!“
We both know it's a lie
You say that we haven't changed
And I'd love to believe the same
But to be honest sometimes
I don't know what to say

Home Alone II
02:47
|

Isolation
Sleep deprivation
Hallucinations
Self-medication
We sit on our asses,
Just staring at screens
We rarely talk these days,
But in our hearts we are screaming
Weeks turn into months,
Maybe a year, maybe eternity
It won’t blow over easy,
It won’t blow over easy!
So just lay back and wait and see
Locked up for months
With no end in sight
Can’t count the times
I drank myself to sleep at night
I don’t believe in miracles
But I could use one right now
If we somehow make it through this year
The future’s still unsound
so just lay back and wait and see
A generation of misfits and losers
This will define us in history books
What will they say when we’re dead and gone
Guess it depends what side you were on

Good News, Everyone
02:29
|
|||
You’re talking for more than an hour
Without pausing to breathe
I’m getting tired of your future plans
And why I’m not able to leave?
Well I know that this is far from perfect
But at least I have a place to call home
You will clearly make a career over there
Get some kids and work your hands to the bone
But if you think I’m struggling
Than just because:
I’m successfully not giving up
Can’t you see,I truly know
I know how to survive
Why don’t you pause to breathe
The future seems so bright at night
Now you’re married and you’ve built your own house
And I no longer see you around
You’re silently judging the choices I’ve made
“Yeah sure!” You got it all figured out
And everything that I’ve been through
Has brought me to this fucking place
This goddamn city and all my friends
This has brought me to these dire nights
Too much alcohol, the future’s bright
The future seems so bright at night
And now you pause to breathe
The future seems so bright at night

Post Malört
02:54
|

So what’s the matter?
Why do I think that I grew old?
Of course my bones hurt
Slightly more than years ago
But that’s the difference
Between getting older and giving in
You learn your lessons
But do the same shit again and again
Thank god I've good friends by my side
They make sure I'll stay alive
They make sure that we’ll survive
We were drinking Malört
In an american parking lot
I know it should feel wrong
We were drinking Malört
In an american parking lot
That's where we belong!
So what’s my problem?
I just got bruises on my way home
I got real drunk
And sang some spanish love songs
Slightly out of tune…
Thank god I’ve great friends by my side
They make sure we’ll cross the line
Cross the line, we’ll cross the line
I’ll be fine
