Reality
02:37
|
|||
|
The things that I see, that I'm feeling right now
Have nothing to do with reality
Except for being here, except for being what they are
And I don't know what it's all worth
Everything is changing for the worse
Or for the better
Does it really matter
I've been around for long enough
To know what it's worth, to know my craziness
My twisting the truth, my dealing with reality
But I do know one thing for sure
It's not that it matters, I've seen it before
But I want you to know that I really care for you
You're in my thoughts forever
Together with all of the best
Does this make me feel better
Does this make you feel better
But it sure as hell is what it is
You're in my thoughts forever
Together with all of the rest

Something Way Too Big
04:13
|
|||
|
I had a look at my life
Some things that I saw made me cringe and cry
All that I did and I didn’t
All cases closed, all passed by
Some of my friends are no friends anymore
Some of the girls still make me smile
And some of my friends
Are still around for God knows how long
Do I really want to know how much time we are given
I have this strange feeling
When I’m going back to the childhood of my life
As if nothing really changes
But the truth is that it does, that it never is the same
Some of my friends are no friends anymore
Some of the girls still make me smile
And some of my friends
Are still around for God knows how long
Do I really want to know how much time we are given
The beauty of it all is that nothing can be known
The nature of this life will always be hidden
Will always be hidden
That what tries to understand is just a tiny little part
Trying to comprehend, trying to grasp
Something that is way too big
I had a look at my life
Some things that I saw made me cringe and cry
All that I did and I didn’t
All cases closed, all passed by
I have this strange feeling
Something that is way too big
That outshines our temporary being
Something that is way too big (2x)

Set Me Free
03:36
|
|||
|
High in the mountains
Deep in the sea
I can't find a place to be
Where there's no more you and me
Lord please have mercy
Why can't you set me free
Far away abroad
Places I've never been
Looking for a shelter
Where there's no more you and me
Lord please have mercy
Why can't you set me free
All that I’ve done has not been working
Seems that I'm the cause of all this hurting
Nowhere I have to go to
No need for me to stay
All that really matters
Can't control it anyway
Why keep on doing what I'm doing
All that I do I've done before
Behind the horizon
Underneath the surface
Can't find a place
Where there's no more you and me

Reconciliation
03:47
|
|||
|
Put on the light
Let's embrace this night
We're gonna party till tomorrow
I'm gonna treat you right
It's time for a celebration
I'm gonna cook you a meal
Ain't no big deal
It's a matter of some consideration
You know what I mean
We gotta change this situation
All is considered
All has been said
Let me pour you a glass of red wine
All the bad things are gone
Let the good times roll and feel fine
It's raining outside
We have nothing to hide
Let's keep this spirit all through the night
There's no tomorrow
We'll forget our sorrow
It's a reconciliation
That can easily be mistaken
It's a kind of rejuvenation
There's no need for looking back
Put on that dress
Forget about the mess
Show me those beautiful legs
I will play our favourite songs
Let us put aside all the wrongs
The clouds in the skies
Our petty little lies
Let's forget about them now
We don't need the weight
Let's begin by just feeling great

Galaxy Apart
04:12
|
|||
|
The mountains in sight
Sun shining bright
The road straight ahead
You by my side
It should be alright
But we are a galaxy apart
I don't know the reason
Don't know what to do
It's over, we're finished, we're through
You won't tell me why
There's no reason to cry
It's been going on for too long
You by my side
It should be alright
But we are a galaxy apart
The words don't come
I can't tell you why
It's easy just going on

Change Is Here
03:32
|
|||
|
I never could have seen this coming
Never could have seen this coming so fast
2x
I was still sort of waiting
Thinking the threat would never last
I never thought that this would be
I never thought that this would be
What it turned out to be
2x
The change that this world has been waiting for
The change that we really need
The change that we've all been praying for
The change is here indeed
Now that we realize
Now that we realize their lies
Now that we realize
Now that we realize what it will comprise
Now that we know
We should take control
Now we can show
The power we still have
Now it is time
Time to shake of what we don't need anymore /
Time to shake of the past

Like A Bunch Of Lemmings
03:58
|
|||
|
We got the wrong end of the stick, yes we got it all wrong
Now it's time to put two and two together
We have been a bunch of fools for way too long
Taking everything for granted
But somehow we try to prove our point
We just can't seem to change our ways
I suppose we've got it all worked out just fine
And think that this can go on forever
Somehow it makes no sense at all
Running to this cliff
Like a bunch of lemmings, like a bunch of fools
We need to catch another drift
We got to change our way of thinking
We got to change it as fast as we can
We got to find us a new way of living
Sustaining instead of exploiting
But somehow we try to prove our point
We just don't want to change our ways
I suppose it has been okay for a while
But now we should know better

I Need Your Lovin'
03:06
|
|||
|
Hold me baby
Hold me tighter than ever tonight
I need your lovin'
I need your arms to squeeze me tight
Don't hold you back
I need the best of you to treat me right
Don't hold you back
I want to feel that everything's alright
Until deep in the night
I want to feel alright, yeah
Until deep in the night
I want to feel you, right, yeah
Until deep in the night
I want to feel alright
I want to feel alright with you
Hold me baby
Hold me tighter than you ever did before
I've been waiting for you
Waiting for you all day
I need your arms to squeeze me tight
Don't hold you back
I've been waiting for you, waiting for you all day

When It's Done
04:06
|
|||
|
Every time I hear you
Every time I'm near you
Every time I see you on my phone
Every time I read you
Every time I watch you
There's clarity and understanding
I don't need much, it's all that I want
It's you who makes life worthwhile
Sometimes I forget you
Sometimes I neglect you
Sometimes I don't feel you at all
Every time I do that
I lose where it's at
And then life is a mess
So I better keep my act together
And forget about the rest
You are the centre
The best thing in my life
You are the centre of my life
No this cannot be forever
There's an end to to my life
Now this love won't last forever
It is over when I'm gone
This cannot last forever
I'll be pushing up the daisies when it's done
When it's done

Life Without Troubles
03:01
|
|||
|
I’ve been trying to do things better
But somehow it doesn’t seem to matter
That’s just the way that it goes
We need to set new goals
But somehow it doesn’t seem to matter
You need to let go of the reins
You can’t stretch things any further
You have to realise the things that you do
Are just a cat’s paw on the water
So from now on I’ll be a happy man
Trusting the way that life goes
So from now on I’ll take a stand
For an easy life without these troubles
I won’t do it, conform to the rest
I won’t settle for a seat in this rat-race
I prefer to take things easy
I prefer to do things smoothly

The Writing On The Wall
03:51
|
|||
|
I can't convince you
Somehow you need to be shown
How bad things can be
How bad it all can go
The writing on the wall is there to see
The words calling out to you
The writing on the wall is as clear as can be
The words tell me what to do
I tried to tell you
But you would not listen to me
Now it's getting far more worse
Then you ever thought it would be
All this waiting is making me insane
I can hardly bare the pain
I need to keep my senses
Stick to my wishes
Everything will turn out just fine

Back To You
03:14
|
|||
|
I think about it lately
I think about it quite some time
How I easily say maybe
Maybe I will do it one day
But this day will never come I know
I postpone it everyday
I will look for another way
I will always find a way, away from you
I think about it lately
I’m thinking out a way to you
But in reality this is only
Another way of postponing what I need to do
I will always find a way, away from you
I remember what you say
I recall it everyday
So I will always find a way back to you

You're So Sick
04:00
|
|||
|
You've been ruling our lives
You've been messing it up
You think you can do whatever you want
You've been telling us lies
Now we've had enough
We won't listen to you anymore
We don't want it anymore
We don't take it anymore
We don't need you anymore
You've been playing it hard
You've been playing it smart
But now we've seen the game that you play
You thought you could get away
Yet another day
With your now so obvious pathetic play
You're so sick, so sick
You're sociopaths
Now we see who you really are
You're so sick, so sick
You're sociopaths
We don't need you anymore
It's been for this hundreds of years
Maybe a thousand year
Dear oh dear oh dear oh dear
We need to steer away
From this awful strain
We don't need this senseless pain

Grand Finale
04:56
|
|||
|
Way down hiding in a corner
Way down in the back of my mind
Way down like a prisoner
Waiting for me to find
A present to unwrap now
A present to receive
A present that I thought I had lost
A present I dreamt so many times of
Finally I get it
Finally I see
Finally I see what I can do
Finally I do it
Finally can be
The person I am, finally
Now that we made it
I know I can say it
We came a long way
Never thought we would reach this day
From now on it's easy
From now on, finally
