1.Test Animals

Test Animals
1- Listen
2- Remember
3- Repeat
4- Till the day you die

You?ve got to know all the ways of the world
How to eat, where to sleep, complete your education
Respect the ones demanding your attention
Arrive on time, walk in line, shut your mouth
Mystify inspiration and learn to know what?s a stupid question
Remember to listen to what you?ve been told
Now difficult decisions you?re beginning to avoid

Release your nature
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like when you just let go

What does it mean to survive?
Test animals just try to find their way out
Don?t act like you were born
To make a living

1- Listen
2- Remember
3- Repeat
Repeat

So you?re spending all this time in order to find
All the important things that now are shaping your life
So you can sit back, spending your days
Gaining weight, staying awake watching the prime time premiere
One by one you forget what you?ve done
But some mother theresa won?t allow you to die
Your mind says goodbye, you?re body?s still alive so tell me why
Was it all worth the fight?

Release your nature
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like when you just let go

What does it mean to survive?
Test animals just try to find their way out
Don?t act like you were born
To make a living

What does it take to survive?
Test animals will never find their way out
Some things can?t be taught


2.Tension

Tension
Another ancient ceremony
Meaning long forgotten
Endless limerick, my entanglement
One eye one vision, one first impression
So rescue, fulfil the trivial
Go through the deep black hole
In the eye of unknown
Hit the final goal
Ascension
Beat me up when I crawl
Bring me down when I fall
Hit the final blow
And kill this tension
Go, tell me more, take me anywhere
From this fear that I can't go on
I don't know how to be more free
Please, help me let myself go
Broken promises only will serve to clarify
My hunger, growing stronger
Take the liberty to intensify this
One way, one mission, one last collision
High fever, cold desolation
Go through the deep black hole
In the eye of unknown
Hit the final goal
Ascension
Beat me up when I crawl
Bring me down when I fall
Hit the final blow
And kill this tension
Go, tell me more, take me anywhere
From this fear that I can't go on
I don't know how to be more free
Please, help me let myself go
One day my fear will turn to courage
One day my pride will be rewarded
One day my faith is all that matters
One day I'll wake up and feel no tension


3.Solar Red

Solar red
Time sewed us together with stiches through our scars
Depending on one another
Siamese twins with a single heart, we are
Little waves softly
Keep melting under my feet
Little waves softly
Replace the air that I breathe
Take a look at my heart
It's so empty and dark
Have a listen to my soul
It's so quiet and cold
Your embraces were not enough to change me
Your touch didn't bring me back to life
I never seem to lack inspiration
When I need another explanation
Brick by brick we built this tower of illusion
But instead of completion it has come tumbling down
Don't wait for too long
Don't leave the light on
Cause I won't return back home
And each day we'll learn to forget
Bit by bit with every breath
Where do I end and the world starts?
It's all in our hands
All I'm looking for
I gotta find it on my own
Cause I've been building my plan b all these years
I don't remember anymore where the lead is
Important to ensure there is no room for mistakes
In the process I lost all substance
Didn't wanna live for regret
Be happy to settle with anything that's left
Bit by bit I begin to realise that all I need is to believe in
what I feel
Alone I stand alone I fall from this day on
Where do I end? Where do I go?


4.Shine For Me

Shine For Me
I'm the hug no-one ever gave you
The sweetest kiss for open wounds
I'm the sign that shows you direction
The guiding star that leads you home
Shine, child shine for me
You only shine for me
I lead you, I feed you, I captured your features
From now on you shine for me
I warn you, I own you, I'll find out your hideout
From now on you shine for me
I'm the hound that guards all your secrets
Calm and brave before the storm
I'm the rhyme that soothes your nightmares
The healing hand wiping off your fears
Shine, child shine for me
You only shine for me
I lead you, I feed you, I captured your features
From now on you shine for me
I warn you, I own you, I'll find out your hideout
From now on you shine for me
I'm the slap from your loving fathers hand
A mindless order you can't understand
I'm the pleasure that causes a lethal addiction
Craving turned into a destructive conviction
I'm the friend who betrayed your trust
The sentence that proved the world is unjust
I'm the rumour that spreads when your lacking defence
The final revelation that stole your innocence


5.Not Against Me

Not Against Me
Migraine in chaos of deep paranoia
It's too hard to get over
The reptiles inside of my head keep me sober
My veins are on fire, my breath getting colder
Every kick, every trip I do, every lazy smoke filled afternoon
It can't be used against me
Every childhood trauma lifted off my shoulders
It can't be used against me
Stench and stagnation, dehydrated tension
It's too much to mention
My weakest desires are wrapped up in violence
The words of objection still echo in silence
Every kick, every trip I do, every lazy smoke filled afternoon
It can't be used against me
Every childhood trauma lifted off my shoulders
It can't be used against me
I've circled around in this sea of objections
Overcoming rejection
Like a cold steel knife it turns
Velvet acid lips it burns
Freezing up expression twisted
Rosy cheeks the skin gets blistered
No you don't have power over me!


6.Removed

Removed
Put your hand in mine my little girl
Out of the January hallway turn
Walk on the sun with me my little girl
Watch the shadows burn out of this world

Unarmed, the enemy is white and smiling
Lulling, I forgot to defend
Master of persuasion in the name of reason
Stretched my lifeline, stole the apple of my eye

To think that there's no other way was such a big mistake
I pay it every day cause it's getting under my skin
You told me there's no other way but you were wrong
Now it's getting under my skin
And I can't go on
Just the two of us my little girl
Lost in the corridors of this cruel world
Daddy's tired now my little girl
No sign of home no matter where we turn

Vaporised, this dead deserted paradise
Is crumbling under my feet
Like my flesh and blood reduced to ash and dust
Burn marks reminding me of all I've lost
You told me it's alright
I hope you can stop this bleeding
Bubbling under my skin
I hear the devil within
Corrupted fruit I kept eating


7.Can't Stop Fighting

Can't Stop Fighting
Following the road of a pitiful disaster
Fighting through the crowd
Guiding my way it's forever going faster
Lifting me off the ground

The only one to believe
Loose the grip and you can't stop sliding
The only one to believe
Restrain myself but I can't stop fighting

Who will know how long you will be fine
Turn around I'm right behind
Now the journey's all complete
What you once drained out of me
I've come to claim back and you'll see
Whatever it is whoever it was that brought you down into this
world
Won't really mean that much cause you won't be able ever to
recall

All along the days are growing darker
Holding on to this sound
Leaving behind all the bitter disappointment
This sorrow will never be found

Grinning eyes that deny
You're never known to be what you're showing
Ringing words that defy
You're lies are made up of what you're glowing


8.Made To Fail

Made To Fail
I wanna hold you
Breath your smile and pass away
My life is a cold tune
Carving in the air
And I know
My dreams won't carry me forever, no
But we weren't meant to fail
A shade of god
Say a prayer
Beguiled
All of my values
I have sold out to this day
It burns me like a moth to a flame
And I know
My faith won't carry me forever, no
But we weren't made to fail
A shade of god
Say a prayer
Beguiled
I saw her coming from a two-headed star
Covered in flowers pure at heart
Holding my spirit in a golden egg
Black turns to blue
White becomes red


9.My Law

My Law
I'm struggling in a good-girl-straight jacket
Time has come to say that's it
If I spend my life waiting for tomorrow I'll wake up one day and
it's over
No-one's gonna come to deliver the goods
Do it yourself is the clue
It takes courage to follow your heart
But as far as I'm concerned it's free of charge
So tell me, who's stopping you what's on your way
Other people's wishes to obey
Is your purpose to make them feel okay
Now who's to blame
I'll stand behind every word I say and I don't really care if
you see me fail
I'll make my own miracles
With bare hands I build my own paradise
This is my law, this is my system, this is my force, my state,
my mission
This is my way, this is my vision
And the voice inside my head says
Let the pressure
Let all the pressure out
Obey your pleasures
Follow your deepest pleasures
The things you treasure
Sacrifice the things you treasure
Life's a creation I wanna look back..
My criteria for good life doesn't originate from materia
So if you're looking for someone to call naive
You can stop searching have a look at me
I say all we need is already here but what it means is for your
own eyes to see
I'm not intimidated by threats
I'll fight for the right to decide for myself
Cause if you need a scapegoat you're sure to find one
Rock the boat or you won't get nothing done
Discard and start from scratch
Unafraid to leave or turn back
Been wrong as many times as I've been right
I've lost the faith but never gave up the fight
Consequences, schmonsequences
I'll bang my head on the wall till it crumbles
This is my law, this is my system, this is my force, my state,
my mission
This is my way, this is my vision
And the voice inside my head says
Let the pressure
Let all the pressure out
Obey your pleasures
Follow your deepest pleasures
The things you treasure
Sacrifice the things you treasure
Life's a creation I wanna look back at it and feel proud!


10.Alive

Alive
Tell me who you are, have you thought about it?
Yeah, of course you have now its time to deal with it
Spoilt sheltered overfed kid
You believe you're free standing on your own two feet
But you're chained to your possessions
Too content to change and take part in the action
Instant gratification for the cynical child of the welfare
nationAll all that you should dare is so far away and to get
there you have to
Break the day, to change your ways to throw away all you are
today
Don't want to help you out
Cause every morning kills me
As long as I wake up with you by my side
As long as we're alike
No matter what the distance
My sun won't rise
You're a cartoon cut-out of the things that you mock
Incapable of thinking out of the box
Never opening your mouth unless so requested
Straight A student with no skills to protest
Blinded by pride thinking you're so smart
Your thoughts and deeds lightyears apart
I thought you were the leader, feeder of minds
Boldly marching on to the new frontiers
But you're nothing but a beaurecrat
With a sense of power
Slave to the rules and the office hours
Labourer without the vision
Namedropper in the hopes of gaining recognition
Don't want to help you out
Cause every morning kills me
As long as I wake up with you by my side
As long as we're alike
No matter what the distance
My sun won't rise
I can smell deep dark trouble
