1: Tumble and Fall

Where everything looks so much better on the outside
Where every day's the same, will turn into a long night
Paid too much for losing touch

Because the apathy will crack me up in no time
Because insanity becomes a state of mind
It comes around again
That warning sound can wake me from my sleep
I've gotten into deep

But when you call I'll be ready for the flash
Got too heavy on the dark side
Tumble and fall
I've come a long way to get it back my friend
You took the credit for my lost right
How come it's still going on?

And when the councelling, it doesn't bring the silence
And when the craziness becomes a boring ride
I'll be around again
With every vow you take the best of me
The last thing that I needed

When you call I'll be ready for the flash
Got to heavy on the dark side
Tumble and fall
I've come a long way to get it back my friend
You took the credit for my lost right
How come it's still going on?

The time has come to ditch the agony and make another start
The time is up, I break the line and leave these words behind
Take back what was mine all along

When you call I'll be ready for the flash
Got to heavy on the dark side
Tumble and fall
I've come along way to get it back my friend
You took the credit for my lost right
How come it's still going on?
Way to get it back my friend
You took the credit for my lost right
How come I'm still going strong?

2: Pergola

Pergola 55, 30 kids come alive
Doorbell, ring-a-la, whining at the playground
Mothers call, mothers scream, gotta sleep, had a dream
Boom box, booty shave, one o'clock and I'm awake

Console, TV-set, in control and out of bed
Rob a bank, steal a car, kill a gang, start a war
With low life animals, with shooting eyes, tentacles Grabbing me, sucking on my energy, stop

One of these days I'm starting over
Write me a song like Crimson and Clover
Too many times I tried to remember
One of these days I'm gonna make a new life

Here we go, once again, and again
Going round and round, pretend
Coming home, going out, coming back for some more

Going out, get some food, driving through the neighbourhood
Parking lot, local store, all in line, find the door
In I come, heart attack, checking out a paper bag
With toothpaste, cornflakes, party cakes, stop

One of these days I'm starting over
Write me a song like Crimson and Clover
Too many times I tried to remember
One of these days I'm gonna make a new life

Here we go, once again, and again
Going round and round, pretend
Coming home, going out, coming back for some more

Here we go once again and again
Going round and round, pretend
Coming home, going out, coming back get some more
Here we go once again and again
Going round and round, pretend
Coming home, going out, coming back for some more

3: I mean I guess

It doesn't ease the mind, doesn't vanish over night
The match you're craving for it's waiting deep inside
I wouldn't know my breath and this one's taken much too long
I mean it's easier this way, let me be your guide
Cause underneath the smiling face, buried in your eyes
There's a sadness coming through, breaching your disguise

Take this helping hand, shake it, I will be a friend
I guess it hurts when all is wrong, but then again
You shouldn't waste your time, that is you wasting mine
I mean you wanted this and more, let me make it right
Cause underneath this weary face, buried in your eyes
There's a devil coming through, reaching your disguise

Now I'm not here to fool around, to comfort you or put you down
I am just a sad relief, a wonder drug for all your grief

What's the use of climbing up the wall
Where's the sense in trying when it all must fall

Now I'm not here to fool around, to comfort you or put you down
I am just a sad relief, a wonder drug for all your grief
There's nothing more to say, nothing left for me to say
I mean I guess I'm on my way

4: Tomorrow

Once upon a time, somewhere down the line
Something came along, gave us peace of mind
The word is on, before too long will I be gone

Blame it on the moon, blame it on the stars
He was selling out, selling guns where you want
Nowhere to go, it's all been fucked up long ago

No need to run and hide
Cause tomorrow will come to cancel the future
Tomorrow's a gun, loaded confusion
Tomorrow it's on, there is nobody left to complain
This will last to eternity

Trouble on the phone, early morning call
Time is running out, gonna have a ball
The word is on before too long we're dead and gone

Tell it to the world, tell it to the sky
Tell it to the trees, find that no one can reply
You got it all, such building bombs are just enough

No need to run and hide
Cause tomorrow will come to cancel the future
Tomorrow's a gun, loaded confusion
Tomorrow it's on, there is nobody left to complain
We're telling words to eternity

Once upon a time, somewhere down the line
Something very strong came along, blew our mind
Without a fault, today I think we lost it all

No need to run and hide
Cause tomorrow will come to cancel the future
Tomorrow's a gun, loaded confusion
Tomorrow it's on, there's nobody left to complain
We're telling words to eternity
Tomorrow will come
Yeah, tomorrow's a gun
Tomorrow it's on, there's nobody left to complain
We're telling words to eternity

5: Day is done

Guess nobody ever told you that
When the day is done
You are on your own
There'll be no one near to care for you
Catch the morning rain on your face again
Then you feel the sun come shining through

And when the day is done and everybody's gone
There's still a ghost inside your head that's haunting you
And when the day is done, you're not the only one
Who's hanging on to something that is lost and gone for good

Every party seems a fantasy
Doesn't mean a lot when it's all you've got
Like a movie playing endlessly
Let the morning rain clear your mind again
In your eyes the sun is shining through

And when the day is done and everybody's gone
There's still a ghost inside your head that's haunting you
And when the day is done, you're not the only one
Who's hanging on to something that is lost and gone for good

What's the matter with you, would you come down ..
Let it go if you wanna feel better
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let it go if you wanna feel better
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let it go if you wanna feel better
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let go


Still you haven't found the peace of mind and can you face
The consequence, such a wasted chance
You will know in time, you're days are through

And when your day is done and everybody's gone
There's still a ghost inside your head that's haunting you
And when your day is done, you're not the only one
Who's hanging on to something that is lost and gone for good

What's the matter with you, would you come down ..
Let it go if you wanna feel better
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let it go if you wanna feel better
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let go
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let it go if you wanna feel better
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let it go if you wanna feel better
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let go
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let it go if you wanna feel better
What's the matter with you, come down ..
Let go

6: I Feel Fine

Hey
I can remember what you told me yesterday
You said you're leaving me, I'm mad, but please don't stay
I forgot the way you looked when I told you I was hooked on you
Well, it was a lie
I am not the one that makes you sad, it's not my style

Can you recall how many times I didn't say
- want to shoot a second, but you never listen -
What could it be, it was supposed to be this way.
You can't read between the lines
Are you stupid or just blind, 'cause I'm already gone
I don't need this anymore, I feel better than before
So long

You can make me cry
Can you make me smile one more time
And I'll be satisfied
A million lies
Do you know you make me feel alright
you make me feel alright
Alright

I'm fine, I've got it all behind me
Breaking up is easy when it's done
I don't mind if this is what it takes
'Cause I feel fine, yeah
I feel fine

7: Paper Planes

Over and done with, I wasn't joking
As promises fade, was meant to be broken
Better a feel who's been too live
Such a lie.

Run off to gather and leave it all burning
Travel the world until it stops turning
Follow the winding road ahead
On a dead end street we ride

Step on the gas, and away is the past
We can do it if we try
Jump off the latch, we'll make it fast
Yeah, together we can fly

Under the moon, the lake is on fire
The water is calm, reflects a desire
Crush on the surface breaks the line
Between the clear and undefined
Longing for something we can't find
In a lie

Step on the gas, and away is the past
We can do it if we try.
Jump off the latch, let's make it fast
Yeah, together we can fly.

Tonight it's all we escape and never stop running
Over the world we run till the morning
Chasing the dream, turned out to be
Just a lie
Longing for something we can't find
In a lie
We can't fly on paper planes

On paper planes
On paper planes
On paper planes

8: Save Game

You drove me away, out of your life again
Into the darkest minor cold and empty place
Ran out of luck, you'd never throw your hand
Took all the fuel, broke every rule
To win this race

Well, if I could only save this game
Before it gets all the same
And this could be a great escape
Reload and play all over again

Driving too fast, now you are miles ahead
Into the night my radar arrives, make no mistake
Try to explain, but you wouldn't understand
It's getting you killed, the walls I've built will never break

Well if I could only save this game
Before it gets all the same
And this could be the great escape
Reload and play, start over again

For every gain a greater loss
For every win a higher price to pay
Loosing control again

Fatal exception on the screen
Fatal injection holds the price you ...
Too late again

I really should have saved this game
We could have made a hall of fame
This could have been the greatest game
Reload and play, start over again.

You drove me away out of your life again

9: How does it feel

How does it feel when you turn off your mind?
Doctors and preachers, they're all of a kind
Someday they'll get you, they'll tear you apart
Someway they'll break you, no matter
How fucked up you are

Go with the flow, with the buzz in your head
Know what you know that it's driving you mad
Sometimes you feel like just letting it go
Sometimes there's something inside you that's telling you no

How does it feel to be out there alone?
Nowhere to run to and nothing to calm you down
How does it feel when you turn out the light?
Can you make it alone?

What good advices, you're wasting your time
Jokers and fakers are walking in line
Sometimes you feel like it tears you apart
Sometimes there's something reminding you, breaking your heart

How does it feel to be out there alone?
Nowhere to run to and nothing to calm you down
How does it feel when you turn out the light?
Can you make it alone through the night?

How do you sleep at night?
I promise I'll come back tomorrow
No need to follow me
Till I'm found
I'll be around some time

But how does it feel to be out there alone?
Nowhere to run to and nothing to calm you down
How does it feel when you turn out the light?
Can you make it alone through the night?

How does it feel to be out there alone?
Nowhere to run to and nothing to calm you down
How does it feel when you turn out the light?
Can you make it alone through the night?

10: Why_CP

Come here as a stranger
Come here to complain
Bring your faintest memory
I'll make it clear again
And I will confess it's much harder than I ever thought

Talk about the wheather
Tell me, how's your mam?
Talk about just anything
I'll listen to it all
Now we'll be there
You decide to come around
It's wishful thinking

Why don't you come back and tear me apart?
Why won't you blame me for me for breaking your heart?
One of us cracking apart, take it that would be me, obviously

It's not that I adore you
In fact I don't even know you
It's just that I want something back for what I've been through
And I'll still be there when you decide to try me out
What are you thinking?

Why don't you come back and tear me apart?
Why won't you blame me for me for breaking your heart?
One of us laughing, and I'm pretty sure it's not me, obviously

If this is what you want
If this is how you want to play
Run away, ignoring me, don't want to see me cry
Don't wake me, make me
Track you down, all over town, till I drop
I wouldn't give up, till you
Till you make me feel alive

Alright, now you really got me
Why don't you come back and tear me apart?
Why won't you blame me for me for breaking your heart?
What if I gave you back everything you've left behind?
Would you stop wasting my time?

11: Time and time again

Just think about
All of these things
'Cause what you see is what you get
Now can you live with that?
Oh deny, this way you won't feel the embarrassment
She said she wanted to
Throw it away, and leave me all alone, she said
Do you mind if I don't get
All this crazy shit?
You call it love, call it what you want

No matter how, I can't explain
She always knew, but couldn't say
So much for all the efforts made
To make it understood

It's been a while
And nothing has changed
It's still the same old silly doubts
I can do without
Oh, I try
To fall in love
Try to calm me off

No matter what I do or say
She's always worried in a way
Too much of everything it gives to me to understand.

Time and time again, I want to hide myself
Far away from you
Tell me what to do
And tell me how to find my way to work it out
By myself stay away from you
But can't you see me through?

So you gotta go
I got to know, I got to feel
The way you feel, the way you think
I need to know, every little thing
About you and me I want to know
How much you mean to me

Time and time again, I want to hide myself
Far away from you
Tell me what to do
Tell me how to find a way
To work it out, all by myself
And stay away from you

Time and time again, I want to hide myself
Far away from you
Tell me how to find a way
To work it out, all by myself
And stay away from you

12: Here

Here the sky becomes your wildest dream
Breathe the air, print the colours in your eyes
Here the rain is like an endless dream
Paint it red, 'till the clouds will disappear

Here the storm is like a symphony
Turn it on, hear the beauty in it's rage
Here the dawn reveals your memory
Write a song and play it on an on till it's stuck inside your mind.

Here the sun is shining every night
Feel the heat, use the painting of it's grace
Here the flowers bloom in black and white
Shoot a film and play it on and on till it's carved inside your mind.

Here the storm is like a symphony
Turn it on, hear the beauty in it's rage
Here the dawn reveals your memory
Write a song and play it on and on till I'm the only man, and enable to perform it in your mind
