Raise your glasses to everything that’s great- Friday nights and dinner dates and sacrifices made for friends
Well, now that we have drunk- its time to let it out! See, all that I have mentioned doesn’t mean that much at all. A pessimistic point of view is what we're living by- just give it a try. Expectations must be lowered, look only down and never forward and you'll never meet disappointment again- guaranteed.
Or your money back- expect nothing

Your Story
03:37
|
|||
It begins when I look at you- looking at me
Only a few words said but that’s enough to make you stuck in my head
Ill try and play it cool and act as if I don’t care about you, when in fact you're all I think of, but I'm too scared to make a move
Another day goes by, and everything is clear- I know much more about my fear of messing up and see you end up with someone else
But I won't pretend I'm chasing after your heart
Six precents of "what-might-be-love", the rest is attraction but still at times I could swear you're the one for me
I don’t know you at all but it's funny how I fell for you
Feeling pathetic, wondering- are you thinking about me too?
Another day goes by, and everything is clear- I know much more about my fear of messing up and see you end up with someone else
Could you take me to a safe place like home???
Another day goes by, and everything is clear- I know much more about my fear of messing up and see you end up with someone else- I'm such a mess
But I won't pretend I'm chasing after your heart.

Sincerity's a must, the basis of all trust
But you might choose to bend these rules I recommend
Someone's lying on the floor, wondering why he's alone
But is it me, or is it you?
Maybe we've gotta bend these rules
Ill get it right someday
It’s a long road but that’s okay
Cause ill get it right some day
You should know by now
I don’t want you around
You had your chance to earn my trust
But now there's no return
I won't consider you a friend or let you act this way again
Some stories end this way, but I know Ill be okay
Ill get it right someday
It’s a long road but that’s okay
Cause ill get it right some day
Ill get it right someday
I know I'm gonna be okay tomorrow.

Maquerade

Lately this situation has been getting so ridiculous
Hiding bad intentions under a masquerade of good words and hugs
Did you forget why we're here? Cause to me its crystal clear
Let us be the ones to show you exactly how its done
When our one and only goal is having fun
Well can I scream? Cause I don’t know how else to make you see there's nothing more than playing the shows
It's all about the good times and doing your thing
Forget about the rest, one thing's for sure- this ain't the place for goddamn wars
Pulling invisible strings behind the scenes
You'd like to see us crash and burn
Well sorry, we're on a mission
Objectives are well known to everyone around
Well no, it's not the fame or raising social stats
All we'd like to do is bang our heads to loud guitars
Fuck the dreams of becoming a big rockstar
Well can I scream? Cause I don’t know how else to make you see there's nothing more than playing the shows
It's all about the good times and doing your thing
Forget about the rest, one thing's for sure- this ain't the place for goddamn wars
Bash us up and kick us down
Make sure we never hang around
We're here to stay
Is that okay?

Late Drive Home
01:23
|

The late drive home helps to define the closing argument- its time
Take a deep breath, do your best and wave goodbye
This former life is yours to keep, a bittersweet embedded sheep
Nightmare filled, and anger built- it's yours now
Step in these shoes and then run
Can't stop now, don’t turn around
Marching till the end of time, this life is no longer mine
It’s a late drive home again
I might zoom until I'm out of sight
I leave a cloud of dust filled with your disappointment
Alone- I separate, a drop out of the mainstream flow
This tearful wretch has failed your test
Now sir, I must go
Step in these shoes and then run
Can't stop now, don’t turn around
Marching till the end of time, this life is no longer mine.

Dear Critic
02:11
|

So you think you're smart?
I'd like to object then.
Admiring yourself is nice, but hey, I've got a surprise here:
When we look at you we see no connection between your imagination and our reality
And so I'd like to see you walk
Cause I've had too much of your talk
And now its time for you to go and criticize me
It seems as if you're never going to have enough
You must understand- you're not the first one
There are so many clones like you, oh so cynical and tough-
Is this punkrock enough???
I've been wondering what feeds your aggression
And I think I know the truth- you can't stand the thought of you
And so I'd like to see you walk, cause I've had to much of your talk
Again its time for you to go and criticize me
It seems as if you're never going to have enough
You must understand- you’re not the first one
There are so many clones like you.

Business As Usual
03:07

Like a loaded speeding freight train you won't stop at red-
I'm not getting in your way
You're the iron man crushing all you come across
Mowing down contestants in this rat race of yours- I wont take part in
I'd rather stop and think what's in it for me
And then I realize again you're taking part in enslavement- jails disguised as cubicles
All day's work and no time to play would probably make me go insane
I fail to understand you
Bigshot business man, Id really like to know- is this what makes you smile? Chasing fortunes, closing deals with human slime
Sounds like an all-star nightmare
No time to enjoy all the simple things we stop to adore
A breath of fresh air, a good book, rock'n'roll
But then I realize again, you're taking part in enslavement
And greed has now obtained your soul
And when im feeling down and blue, I just take one glimpse at you
And remind myself I'm alright.

Alright, so you need a ride
Oh, am I looking good tonight
Well sorry, you're not getting in my car
So why do you look surprised, what's going on inside your mind?
We've never said much more than just hello
Walk away, walk away
You've never been a friend anyway, at all
And if you need a hand- I'm not the one to call cause Ill be more than glad to see you take a fall
So what if you're stuck today?
Walking can be a-ok
And bus fare-rates are affordable too
Last time I checked my license plate
It didn’t spell out A-L-B-E-R-T
So stop being a leech
Walk away, walk away
You've never been a friend anyway, at all
And if you need a hand- I'm not the one to call cause Ill be more than glad to see you take a fall.

My ride
01:48
|

Hop on my ride, it’s a roller coaster
We start climbing up but then we dash down
A hot air balloon collides with a sharp pin
My plans were building up- prepare for a descend
I wish, I hope and then I choke on broken dreams
Ill never understand just what its like to sit back, be relaxed
And know that things will work out just fine
Can't get much sleep, my heartbeat's racing
A question mark hammers my head
What lies ahead and where will I end up?
Occupying my mind- what future will I find?
I wish, I hope and then I choke on broken dreams
Ill never understand just what it's like to sit back, be relaxed
And know that things will work out just fine

Remedy

Eighteen and careless, the way it should be
Well be prepared- you're going down
Stop asking questions, walk this direction
And wipe away that tear and frown
As soon as tomorrow we'll fade away, we just cant stay- become a memory
And this life as you know it- it ends today
INFIRMARY!
We’ve got a man down, better gat here straight away
No need for needles, drugs, or any medicine
So when they take you, misplace and dress you
That when you'll know- you're now a man
Men obey orders, men march in straight lines
Follow blueprinted master plans
As soon as tomorrow we'll fade away, we just can't stay- become a memory
And this life as you know it- it ends today
Hard to believe that you and me have parted ways for three long years
And in the end when it's all through, will you be the same kid I once knew?
We’ve got a man down, better get here straight away
No need for needles, drugs or any medicine
The only remedy that can do any good is an arrow showing the way straight out of here
I know that now, once I've gone out
I'm just a madman you can't handle anyway
But this I swear, I’d rather be a madman than a lowlife, meaningless killing machine.
