Backfire
I feel it in my bones
I‘m fighting a losing battle
You can not be overthrown
your ruthless reign keeps you in your saddle
Do you believe in „might is right“
a might built on a web of liars
You want to turn day into night
but soon your lies will backfire
One million reasons I don’t
I don’t want to be you
One million reasons I don’t
I don’t
I can not stand this sound
the sound of being silenced
No chance for common ground
with your fake truth alliance
A crowning moment of your show
you preach to the unholy choir
So much out of tune you crow
but soon your smoke will catch fire
One million reasons I don’t
I don’t want to be you
One million reasons I don’t
I don’t
One million reasons I don’t
I don’t want to be you
One million reasons I don’t
I don’t
A Blister on My Pinky Toe
I’m fighting for my life
I learned to duck and dive
and kill time before it kills me
I’m sticking to my sins
It ends where I begin
to restrict the clock from ticking
I’ll never slow down
I’ll sleep-walk around I
don’t want to run out of my time
Will time ever tell
if I am doing well
enough for a ticket to heaven
Like rust to a machine
I’m clinging to the screen
to track the time I have wasted
I’ll never slow down
I’ll sleep-walk around I
don’t want to run out of my time
Let it all go
I dress up as a pig to take control of you
Napoleon is my name – a great pig of fame
I do blame it on my mundane periwig
that I’m mistaken as a blackbird
Do you want to taste my black heart now?
Your role will be to bow to my will
don’t you get it
better let go, let it all go now
Your role will be to bow to my will
don’t you feel it
better let go, let it all go now
Your fury it comes too late
please hold back your anger
just adapt to this new situation
come on please pretend to be the pig’s best mate
and do your job as a proof of a good relation
Do you want to taste my black heart now?
Your role will be to bow to my will
don’t you get it
better let go, let it all go now
Your role will be to bow to my will
don’t you feel it
better let go, let it all go now
Your role will be to bow to my will
don’t you get it
better let go, let it all go now
Your role will be to bow to my will
don’t you feel it
better let go, let it all go now
Phobophobia
Are you afraid of growing old and wearing down your bones
Are you afraid to draw a line to mark the end of time
Are you afraid of acting cold when picking up your phone
Are you afraid to count the fears that you didn’t want to
share with me
Are you afraid of being told that you have lost your mind
Are you afraid of breaking hearts when bursting out in pain
Are you aware of all the gold that you preferred to leave behind
Are you aware of all the fear that is eating you
from the inside like a parasite
with great appetite – fear eats your life
Talk to me, boy – get it out and shout out loud
Are you aware of all the gold that you preferred to leave behind
Are you aware of all the fear that is eating you
from the inside like a parasite
with great appetite – fear eats your life
Talk to me, boy – get it out and shout out loud
Talk to me, boy – get it out and shout out loud
I wonder when your shivers decide to stop
I wonder when your heart beat rate will drop
I wonder when it’s time for you to relax
from the inside like a parasite
lose its appetite – life eats your fear
Talk to me, boy – get it out and shout out loud
House of Cards
I have been praying
for you and me
that we could hold on to
what I would call our
house of cards
but you just call it a lie
So now I lose my mind
and I wish to learn how to fly
I keep on asking you
please don’t cheat on me
I’d play you as a wild card and
you want me to be your
king of hearts
with his sword on standby
Yes, you can read my mind
oh I wish to learn how to fly
Am I a gambling man
because I play with love
You want me to show my hand
and I confess that it’s
really hard
to wave my queen of hearts good-bye
I beg you to be so kind
to never ask me why
I feel free – free-falling
I feel free – free-falling
I feel free but you want to see me fall down on my knees
