Go through your life
Hoping for better times
We should know better
Know better than this
You don't see me and I see a ghost
You don't see me or what's worth living for
The secret to it all
Thats worth to know
Lies within others
And not within yourself
The time will tell
What cards we've been dealt
For better or worse
There's no meaning to prepare
You don't see me and I see a ghost
You don't see me or what's worth living for
The time will tell
What cards we've been dealt
For better or worse
There's no meaning to prepare
For better or for worse
There's no meaning to prepare
You don't see me
The secret to it all
That's worth to know
Lies within others
And not within yourself
You don't see me and I see a ghost
You don't see me or what's worth living for

Bound to Be Tragic
03:16

Not a single warning is issued here
Some things will hit you hard
Not even time to breathe
Its so distant
Behind the trees
Not even thought of
These latent fears
Its just perception of control
I'm not a believer anymore
Got burned by life in itself
A trip to hell and back again
Some will not even think of it
But its like a second home for me
Got burned by life in itself
A trip to hell and back again
Might sound morbid
And not too happy
What can i say man
Bound to be tragic
A lot of questions
Left to be answered
Nothing but time
Knows whats next for me
Next for me
Its just perception of control
I'm not a believer anymore
Got burned by life in itself
A trip to hell and back again
Some will not even think of it
But its like a second home for me
Got burned by life in itself
A trip to hell and back again

Days Passing By
03:31

Make or break now
It's a struggle you see
Being paralyzed
By potential within
Stuck in old ways
So descriptive of me
Just another day
In a life of maybes
Moving along
Where is the sense of joy
Maybe it's starting
To take a toll
The silence has become
A way for me to cope
Will my own tradgedy unfold
I lose track of time
I should enjoy the ride
Just let them bow down to those lies
Days passing by
Can't tell them apart
Wanting to shine
But it's not my usual state of mind
All the wasted time
It's all one big disease
Trying to fit in
With a mold that ain't real
I just wanna be
Someone that is not seen
As another pawn
In their game of deceit
Moving along
Where is the sense of joy
Maybe it's starting
To take it's toll
The silence has become
A way for me to cope
Will my own tradgedy
Finally unfold
Days passing by
Can't tell them apart
Wanting to shine
But it's not my usual state of mind

Dreamland

Many times have i contemplated this, why are there so many
Of all these believers in harmony
Don't you see that we aren't so special
Just another one of natures mistakes
So don't get your hopes up
We're doomed to fail
You'll see, nothing can make me believe
That there's a purpose or light to see
Striving for a dreamland it seems
Looks hopeless, at least it does so to me
Live in your fairytale, that's all fine with me
But don't you bring your idealistic bullshit
I'm busy keeping it real
Things aren't always how they should be
What is it that makes you so fucking special?
So please tell me
What makes you so special?
You'll see, nothing can make me believe
That there's a purpose or light to see
Striving for a dreamland it seems
Looks hopeless, at least it does so to me
What makes you so special?
Please enlighten me

Clean Slate
04:27

Haven't been myself for so long
Down in a hole was where I had gone
Slowly back to normal and off those pills
But it's far from over now, that's how it feels
Always fighting for stability
My insecurities a memory
But no matter how hard
That i would try
It's like someone just pressed rewind
Clean slate as I wake up
Seconds later, remembrance comes
Another day to feel like this
The hopelessness, it's all too fucking real
One step closer to recovery
Sometimes it may be a big relief
But once in a while i think to myself
Is this the person who I was meant to be
Is this really me
Tell me who do you see
Clean slate as I wake up
Seconds later, remembrance comes
Another day to feel like this
The hopelessness, it's all too fucking real
Is this really me
Tell me who do you see

Give and Take
03:03

All of the days I spent with you
Was just a countdown, now we're through
Can you imagine my solitude?
I've stopped to wonder, you have no clue
The months of terror that I went through
Not able to smile, how's that for cruel?
Slowly dissapearing into distant memories
Of each other
So why, why should i even bother?
They call it all a give and take
Was all so one-sided for me
Slowly dissapearing into distant memories
Of each other
So why, why should I even bother?

The Opportunist

Been in this game for so long
Don't know when a payout comes
But I know one thing for sure
Pleasing some hipster crowd we won't
A new direction for your favorite band
Same for you, I understand
You weren't really into this
That's all right, I never gave a shit
In it for the love of it
We're in it cause we just hate your fucking shit
We hate your shit
Do that thing until you erupt
Form a new band, newer style
Don't care if we go bankrupt
Fuck you
We'll be here for a long while
A new direction for your favorite band
Same for you, I understand
You weren't really into this
That's all right, I never gave a shit
In it for the love of it
We're in it cause we just hate your shit
Hate your shit

Fake That Smile
04:23

Waking up another day
On the right side of my bed
Ready to put in work again
All of a sudden that's erased
Thats how you feel
When they arrive
Swallow your pride
And fake that smile
It's a test
A lifelong quest
To endure
And to resist
Keep your cool you've come this far
They can't detect the inner war
But the need to flip the switch
All of a sudden I feel the itch
Thats how you feel
When they arrive
Swallow your pride
And fake that smile
The lack of common decency
I did my part to keep the peace
A longing older than me
Built up inside to be released
The thought will cross my mind again
To stop participating in
Your fucking everyday charade
But after all it's just my fuel
Thats how you feel
When they arrive
Swallow your pride
And fake that smile
The lack of common decency
I did my part to keep the peace
A longing older than me
Built up inside to be released

Allegiance
04:47

On my own I couldn't get much done
This one is dedicated to the special ones
Downward spirals
One after another
Somewhat hesitant
Never wanted to bother
When all is said and done
You'll see who's by your side
No matter how far you've gone
Just knowing that
Will still keep your spirit strong
Will still keep your spirit strong
No matter how far you've gone
They've all seen me
In my darkest moments
What more could I wish for
Than the loyalty from them
At one point
You gotta stop the fucking nonsense
It's impossible to live a life like this
You can throw away anything
But never what they gave
When all is said and done
You'll see who's by your side
No matter how far you've gone
Just knowing that
Will still keep your spirit strong
Will still keep your spirit strong
No matter how far you've gone
