There’s nothing left to keep me clear. I leave this town, get out of here. A bunch of shirts and my guitar, some drugs to ease the aching scars. So, i raise my hand to thumb a ride, jump on a truck and say good bye. So, i raise my hand to thumb a ride, jump on a truck and say good bye. The world seems smaller from a barstool’s sight. The stairs get taller, so i spend every night Walking through the streets i know - In my mind. life is good. The life i lived was an awful ride. Let’s put some truth right between the lies. I’m walking through the streets i know – in my mind. Life is good. I won’t pay this drink. Wanna do high fives with the devil. The saints are drunk again. Drunken saints are dauntless rebels. The curtains fall, i’m soaking wet. I’m blinded by a pearl of sweat. A stumbling walk to reach the door, im dying for some h2o. I need salvation – don’t know how. I swear, i hate this crowd right now. I hate you guys for showing me: i’m still alive, i still can bleed I won’t pay this drink. Wanna do high fives with the devil. The saints are drunk again. Drunken saints are dauntless rebels.

You carried a box of crayons and wore a flattering summer dress, You rang my bell to call me out and my heart burst in my chest. I really shouldn’t fall for any girl around, But your paintings on the driveway made me feel so safe and sound. Crayon hearts, you scribbled on the streets. There was a blooming flower. Exploding colors on concrete. I think of it on darker days and my thoughts turn in my head. I really shouldn’t fall for any girl around, But your paintings on the driveway made me feel so safe and sound. Crayon hearts, you scribbled on the streets.

Woke up this morning in the bathtub that i used to call my bed the last six days in a row I’m wondering how you spend your night though i hope you think i don’t think about you anymore at all But everything i think about is you. Everything i think about is you and me It feels like everything is broken I’m longing for some superglue I still know every word we’ve spoken But i don’t know how to get back to you I picked you up at the trainstation and now it aches to think of you Could have been worse but i do miss you and here’s the lesson that i learned I aint perfect – you aint either. Let’s face the fact that we’re no good You go to heaven, I’m the devil – fobidden love’s the sweetest one It feels like everything is broken I’m longing for some superglue I still know every word we’ve spoken But i don’t know how to get back to you Here’s my hand i wont let go but i’m still the person that makes you sick It feels like everything is broken I’m longing for some superglue I still know every word we’ve spoken But i don’t know how to get back to you

When everything seemed grey and odd you teased me with your blooming charm The world seemed better than it was before You led me through a magic garden where time and breath stood still I hope you’ll always remember this night – i promise that i will So pour some juice into that glas and add some liquor baby Tonight we’re going out of style – tomorrow is still far away Turn that music a little louder – let’s sing until our voices are gone Set this tree on fire The sun was slowly coming up and the shadows became thinner The birds began to sing their songs „wir bleiben hier für immer“ But in the morning the ember’s cold and the music’s simply gone I packed my stuff into the van and i knew i must go on So pour some juice in one last glas and the same amount of liquor Just leave the bottle here with us ‚cause the morning will be bitter Let’s dance as long as we can stay – the fireplace’s our home I’m simply lost for words – you had me at hello

Smoke fills the van and I try to see with bloodshot eyes Just don’t fall asleep Steering the pack right through the night No cars on the road Just staring into the dark Mile by mile I feel weaker inside I never thought that I could feel so god damn safe so far away from home And I will always think of those times when I'm home alone These things won't go away even though I know that this life is the death of me But there is nothing closer to being free than the lives that we lead Mile by mile I feel weaker inside I never thought that I could feel so god damn safe so far from home And I will always think of those times, when I'm home alone Seeing people scream the words you wrote down on an old bill Is worth sleeping on a damn cold floor

This sucker is nuclear! A quarter of a century old, but she made him feel like 8 Like when he turned his back on his own flesh to lose the weight He saw his mother crying, with a razor in her veins The pictures flashed back in his head, when they separated ways He sat and listened to the silence, that was reigning in his flat she made him desperate but somehow he got to think about his dad He said: 'My son, there are plenty more – you know, like fishes in the sea but some of them are poisoned. Better watch out, before you eat!' Lizzy’s got a time machine! Jump on, enjoy the ride It might not take you very far – but imagine all the sights Every mistake you ever made is lit up by the lights You better start building up mills, when the wind of change blows by Long story short is that he lost his mind and he didn’t search for light isolated himself in the songs he used to like But as the pencil scratched across the paper and the cellphone started to ring he found out every ending leads you back to the beginning Lizzy’s got a time machine! Jump on, enjoy the ride It might not take you very far – but imagine all the sights Every mistake you ever made is spotted by the lights You better start building up mills, when the wind of change blows by

She works hard to clean the sheets She worked hard to raise the boys she's been left with Another shift full of emptiness It ain't fun to sell the body you're struggling with But all these men they come and go And all these nights she pretends that she doesn’t care at all All day long she lies in her bed and cries innocent tears The boys, they are in school right now so she knows that they wont hear How she's moaning, how she's swearing, how she's cursing all day long. 'I wouldn't have to sell myself, if these bastards were not born’ She takes pills to kill the pain She knows everything will end and she will go to hell This life ain’t heaven and she is no saint Just a few more years she knows before it all will end. But all these years will take their tolls And not a single breath is worth the pain and the efforts All day long she lies in her bed and cries innocent tears The boys, they are in school right now so she knows that they wont hear How she's moaning, how she's swearing, how she's cursing all day long. 'I wouldn’t have to sell myself, if these bastards were not born'

Dead Lord 04:11
You broke my heart for the last time I trusted you but every single lie pours salt into my wounds Please let go All the sad stories I can't confide Still longing for this happy end you promised me long times ago But all these promisses were not real And every letter in this book was written down in vain Tell me all your random lies as an apology I'm no fool and by the way you are dead to me Tell me all the these random things 'Cause I know they're not real I'm sorry but you won't get me on my knees They build up churches - burn bridges down A golden cross upon their robes should make us feel save and sound. All you got to do is to believe in all these selfish lies the pope tells you to keep you kneeling. But all these prophets were not real And every letter in this book was done in vain Tell me all your random lies as an apology I'm no fool and by the way you are dead to me Tell me all the these random things I do know they're not real I'm sorry but you won't get me on my knees You got me praying last night But all these prophets are not real And every letter in this book was done in vain Spare me all your random lies as an apology I'm no fool and by the way you are dead to me Spare me all the these random things 'Cause I know they're not real I'm sorry but you won't get me on my knees

' Stop when red lights flash' They tell you, they warn you You feel them whispering behind your back But kid go ahead Don't linger, don't listen There're footsteps that are left just to be stepped Stay away, Stay away It's strange how much we've got in common And the way our paths have crossed It's like we've always just been longing For a piece that we had lost I know that times are getting better While our bodies are getting wrecked But waiting felt like forever in my head
