I've heard this story ‘bout wide open space A million miles how will I ever get this far They tell me things I can dream about The fields of green run through my mind all night Hell, I wonder why I'm still here (still here) Now I know I need to go (need to go) Wonder where I end up when I close my eyes (close my eyes) A point in time ‘till infinity It’s all about time should I throw it away Just to build a life in my head for myself It's what we want most but what we use worst I pack my bags and take off for a while Will I ever come back will I ever come back Not until these stories become places to me I don't want to come back I don't want to come back Not until these stories become places to me What is the meaning of feeling free and to be on the loose Not to waste your time by sitting around But I’m not here to wait and see Oh no, my purpose is to be on the move Will I ever come back Will I ever come back Will I ever come back

Hide Out 03:07
Days flew by you´re by my side You already tried to get off this ride If you are down I’ll cheer you up Today's not time to say goodbye You're miles away and it burns inside It hurts so bad my body’s numb If there´s rain I´ll show you sun If you are cold I´ll keep you warm We just run need a place to hide Just keep going on to find our place in life Left it all behind we won't stay the same We’ll never feel ashamed we won’t take the blame You just see in black and white I’ll turn this darkness into light There's so much shit that crosses your mind I’ll change it into positive If you get hurt you get some scars I am the doc to mend your heart If you're alone and get homesick Just think of me I’ll be there quick

Pride goes before the fall Are you willing to risk it all I wouldn’t change a thing Well knowing your lies in between My terms a cutting knife you’d better strive For a better life I’m getting sick of your mindset Your output is shouting regret As everyone will see your small world is boring as hell While I couldn’t be asking for more you’re still looking for a cure Oh as you’ll see you’ll face your destiny Your wandering is pointless it’s obvious to me So many things you made up in your own reality Predicted your position in this plunging flight It’s the pilots seat

Here And Now 02:59
Seize this moment now comprise it in your mind It will never last forever we need to stick together Seize this moment now, comprise it in your mind It will never last forever we need to stick together Time was running fast while we were stuck in the past We need to let it fall tearing down the crumbling wall Rambling conversations with no end in sight Feelings running higher now we have to bite The real and piercing bullet to increase our growth and slowly realize we can’t rest on our time Time is running fast. The clock keeps going ‘round Getting slowly closer to the point we aim to be We're not secured from kickbacks we have to stand our ground No matter if we’re falling we’ll still land on our feet There are experiences that we never expect Sometimes the only way is to forget In the end that’s all we really are Nothing more but right here and now
5.
Overwhelmed 03:22
I think I'm trapped while I act as I never have The smile that you gave me made me feel like I'm safe I tried to show you that I love you this is serious You didn´t believe me now I am the idiot I used to spend all the nights right beside you I put all my effort in without any in return I used to hold you so close to my body Then you refused me all attempts were in vain I lay on the ground start to lose my face And my inner self starts to escape from my body I'm full of bad decisions And surely I am no saint I'm ´bout to lose my guts from these wrong turns Nothing can push me only me by myself I made some bad decisions I keep rolling with the punches But now you're away getting overwhelmed just with sorrow As I beg for forgiveness for the damage I caused Now you're away getting overwhelmed just with sorrow (Losing my faith / escape from my body)

I tried to run away Was this the best that I could do I’d better face the mistakes I'd made Shun retrospect and let my memories fade The way it ended wasn´t fair It seemed like I couldn’t tell left from right These are the days that I’ll always regret Yet all these good times we had I won't forget (won’t forget) We're not born to feel so bad Maybe I should stop to face this world alone Was this the wrong time when we met Will there ever be a chance to cure this ache? Sometimes fallacies don’t seem to end When there’s going to be a new challenge I might once again find some solid ground I should take some steps forward and come back around (come back around) We love and learn from time to time Eventually there’ll be a chance to shine We love and learn from time to time Every cloud has its Silver Lining

Day By Day 02:45
Listen up I've got some things left to say It's not my first time but it's hard for me to stay All your eyes are staring right at me Hesitation now don’t leave me hanging Day by day we spent in our basement We just wanna try to get it right Playing our songs and dreaming of the crowd Of moments to come while moving off the dark With my bloody elbows and bruises on my knees But never fucking mind us in our dirty tees Every morning when we wake up again Same old story a waste of time After another endless and insane night And it all starts again with a buzzing head We start to fight the pain our mind set has changed These days are leaving me deranged State of transition taking place At a seemingly fast outstripping pace While I am strongly bound to change It’s getting harder to escape This maze that is called rat race There are so many other There are so many other things to chase
8.
Burning Mind 02:39
As I'm here on the street I’ve been set on fire I remember my plain and innocent desire Tired and fed up with my pursuit for peace Please don't let this positivity cease Chorus So I never wanna hear it again The things you have to say While I am willing to cooperate You’d never do the same So I never wanna hear again These things you have to say I am willing to cooperate You’d never do the same Verse 2 Confidence is strong cause I've seen quite a bit Been to places that I know you wouldn't fit And I still can't really show what I bear Compulsory restraints leave me struggling in despair
9.
Singularity 02:19
So hard, creation out of dust (Now) Who do you trust? Growing tall like a tree Something bright to see And who would ever deny There's something divine Don't call it god, call it universe History in reverse Singularity (watch your mouth) Singularity (hold your breath) Singularity (keep in mind) That singularity is something I despise Odd perception, consideration Wrong way of reflection Taking time, when it's useless Decisions causes stress You're special, individual Anti-progressive Going on, pretending I don't know Anything at all

Okay now I have to I have to rethink how I act when something starts to eat up my mind again I know that I have to leave behind my old weakness Or else I will lose my self-control! Everybody just cares about themselves And so let’s try to fight these odds and ends Now learn to walk again these crowded streets And start to deal with yourself Going on raising pace avoiding your disgrace For our own kind try to keep up with that speed I know that I have to learn much more about you This time I sure won’t lose my self-control! I couldn’t go on in a world without redemption And right now the solution’s coming to me It’s progress rolling slowly My mind is getting closer to an edge

A whole lot of research didn't help me understand What it is that leads us through our daily and mundane errands Already stretched out and looked for a helping hand Tried to find someone (someone) These fallacies do have to end Sporadic dispute tried to lead me so astray But I will maintain (maintain) My own mind ‘till the eventual decay Your sources (sources) show no virtue Grasp it open up and seize the day I couldn't think of something better than experiencing joy Living life try to grasp the very being of us all And it goes on and on and on Try to be a shoulder to lean on Stand up tall and recognize Something bigger emphasize On your strength and realize There's nothing wrong Instead of bearing other thoughts you can’t accept Research yourself (yourself) There are so many ways to interact With oneness (oneness) and multitude Cause when the earth stops turning so will you
12.
Scramble through the night Ending up in cheerful reunion Meeting all kind of old faces They cheer me up in the wildest ways Take me back to a brighter past Raise a glass to those who stay And pour some out for those who left Don't forget the ones who left their mark on you I sing this praise for all my friends Who walked along this path with me Don't forget the stage is yours Trapped in the daily grind Day in day out no variety Getting lost in repeating daydreams This past’s even brighter than it seems Vaguely remembering the fun I got your back whatever may come Won’t ever leave your side
