If You Got Soul
If you’ve got soul
Hold your breath
Nothing’s even really happened yet
So raise your fist
Get all set
It’s only just begun
If you’ve got soul
Kick it in
We’ll need you more than ever now
You got a mouth
So scream and shout
And get ready for the fight
Until the end of times
You gotta keep your head straight
Cause the future is now
And we all need to taste your energy
If you’ve got soul
Be joyful and proud
It’s your world and you’ve got any right
To be angry
To be sad
Yes this struggle needs to be won
If you’ve got soul
Just walk out
Live this day like it’s your last
Storm the streets
And be yourself
Steal the present and make it last
They’re counting on your silence
They’re counting on your fear
They’re counting on your innocence
Wanting you to stay asleep

Simple Song

SIMPLE SONG
This is a simple song
From a simple man
A man with simple thoughts
That you will understand
This is a simple song
In a simple land
A land that gives you hope
Then takes it all away
These words are just like sand
Escaping from your hands
A melody so plain
That’s made for simple ears
Cause we are all the same
Trapped in our simple fears
Slaves of confusing hearts
Surviving ‘til the end
This is a simple song
No wisdom and no plans
No vision and no faith
No victory to gain
Come on and bear with me
I’m just like you inside
My trust is a strange oil
That’s leaking from all sides
I don’t know what I want
I don’t like what I get
I don’t know where to go
There’s no horizon yet
We are lost and we try
To reach out and find peace
But everybody lies
Stuck in their own beliefs

Earth Day

Earth Day
The sun is coming up
The heat is filling my room
Another summer day
Hitting my window
But there’s no warmth in my soul
Just heavy traces of gloom
Small signs of hell
All over this city
Cause there’s nothing to be proud of
When everything’s dying around you
No there’s nothing to be proud of
When your hopes are dying out
Everything is coated in fear
I can see my life getting smaller
Everything’s bound to disappear
And life is just getting harder
We’re all drifting
Towards apocalypse
So let’s pretend everything’s fine
And go out in the streets
Let’s pretend everything’s worth it
While we go to work
But my soul is burning
I can smell its ashes floating
I don’t think that there’s a way out
From this terrible story
Cause we all know who’s to blame
The powerful people with empty hearts
They got the money but no shame
And they keep accelerating
Cause we all know who’s to blame
We are all in this together
We’re all addicted to this game
Even if we know its dire outcome
Love can’t save us
Love can’t save the world

Cool Rain

Cool Rain
You know the cool rain
Paves the way to rust
And the sunny summer heat
Will turn all your walls into dust
It takes a fool to believe in all these dreams
All these promises supported by fake ideologies
Nobody really cares about what you’re feeling
No pledge will survive to your weaknesses
Your oath is strong but your sins are stronger
Your friends are close but your enemies are always closer
Take care of your family or they’ll take care of you
You will be disappointed, no matter what you do
Life is just like a glass of alcohol
If it’s too strong
It will burn your throat
But make you forget the bad things
Life is just like a glass of alcohol
If it’s too weak
It will make you dizzy
You’ll act like a fool but nothing will go away

Drug

Drug
My soul has been already lost
In disturbed thoughts of women to kiss
Desire and skin, the taste of their lips
In the silent night of my unsure ethics
Love don’t last long, don’t tell me it does
We know how it works after a while
We’re chemical beasts, too dumb to lie
Beauty’s a fraud I can’t stop repeating
Oh it’s a drug
It’s a drug
It’s a game that will never be clean
Since the first girl, I need other ones
Blurring my mind with numb excuses
Hormones work out, alcohol helps
It’s not what I need but it drives me wild
Passion’s a dream but once you wake up
You realize that it is only a nightmare
I’m bound to believe that I need a queen
But I am a king without a crown

Home Is Where The Heart Aches
In the cowshed of a pigsty they call a castle
Where a mother chokes children to love them better
In this kitchen where poison tastes like sugar
When the father’s absence feels like sharp needles
Everyone has to believe that
There’s no place like this cozy hell
Take it all in your stride
Mix it with wicked love
They will make you fade away
Cause home is where the heart aches
In the attic where ghosts whisper and mumble
Where a sister has become so cold and bitter
In the bathroom where pills will burn your liver
When all the brother wants is out of this fiddle
Everyone has to know that
Peace is for all empty shells
No-one will read your diary anyway
So drag yourself out of this and run away
No-one will hear you scream today
They will always try to downplay

Miami

Miami
The Chinese man sold me food
And a nice red box
Then I went down to the hotel
And imagined you
Tied to a bed
Tied to your life
The American dream’s
In fucking blonde girls
I didn’t want to see you naked
I didn’t want to make mistakes
Clouds started to gather
In the sky of Florida
My father told me about my childhood
Then said ‘it must be raining somewhere’
Tied to my life
Was tied to my feelings
Had projects, things to do
In Europe
Under the sand
We all fear to find dead fishes
You injected doubt in me
You injected mistrust in me
Everything just turned and turned
And ended up mashed in my mind
The cargo set the way
Out on the ocean
The world seems so small
We’re sitting on tall trees
The world seems so small
We’re sitting on tall trees

No Safe Place
I have been waiting for another year
Oh I’ve been hoping for much better days
But we haven’t seen anything yet
About the evidence we try to forget
Still I can see the light on top of the hill
It’s twisting and dancing in the evening sky
But it’s a light that’s burning the eye
And sending smoke like a final appeal
There’s no safe place
To hide from what’s to come
The past’s a dream and the future’s insane
We live in a nightmare and we’re all to blame
There’s nobody left to have our back now
We’re all stuck and we cannot move out
We’re just the ghosts of our false ideals
Our gods have left us with our lies and our fears
So don’t tell me it’s gonna be alright
There’s no need to fool me for another night
The beast we unleashed
Is a killing machine
It will win
Since we don’t want to change
All the plans we make
Are just faithless charades
Just close your eyes
And wait for the skies
To fall down
On us

I WILL ALWAYS STAND BY YOUR SIDE
It’s gonna be alright
I will always stand by your side
Even after I’ve died
I will always stand by your side
Darling, take the time to cry
Cause you got a shoulder to lean on
I’m here to soothe your aching heart
There’s nothing but comfort in my arms
I’m stronger than your
Painful memories
I can make the world
A better place
My love, you can kill the pain inside
Say the words and I’ll offer you mine
I will always find the time
To be the one to find light in the night
I’m your anchor when you
Hit rock bottom
I can offer advice
And also silence
I will never leave you
Death won’t really kill me
My ghost will stay with you
Deep within your heart
You’re everything I’ve ever needed
I’ll be your own definition of love
Close your eyes when I’m away
I will always watch over you

Off Orbit
No strings attached anymore
Only the sound of space
Not even the wind can reach me
I watch my life drift away
I wrecked all that I could
About the life that was meant for me
Not even the odds can reach me
I uninstall myself
If identity is just a game
Then fuck its rules
If I’m different it’s just the same
Tracks are for fools
I remember my parents wishing
Nothing but the best for me
But their words can’t catch me
Deception challenges love
I remember my friends watching
My successful career
Now it’s all shattered
Around my will to live
But when everything is deconstructed
What will we build up
What kind of future is left
For the ones who have no present
