Sometimes I feel like a magnet attracting all the shit around me but I know that I can take it even if I have to bleed and there are times I feel infected by a random gaze of beauty but these things can’t be protected cause in the end we all head on From destination to start zero like racers in reverse no time to take a breath no minute to reflect ‘bout memories behind us ‘bout a long forgotten love and friends who’ve passed away But all these days I will remember when the time for me is right to dig deep in my heart and let it all come out I see the hard times that have faded and all the good times in between But this is all so far away There are certain words and phrases they appear from time to time slowly crawling up from my heart into the world reminding me of situations long gone and pushed away to never come again yeah yeah

my last train derailed now I'm waiting for someone to take me by the hand we're all in this desert of thoughts we don't know what we will stand for but it's hard to realize and to recognize that we're restless and aimless in our lives it'll be hard to handle it but we will go for it before we get lost I still hate this life for treating me the way it does but back then I was way too tired to resist it took some time to get me back on my feet right now I'm standing here defeating the defeat with every word I said and every salty tear I lost I tried to force a change in my life

Roam Around 01:58
When the sun goes down into a lonely ocean the sky is spreading colors of all kinds When the moon comes up and the daylight fades the time has come for me to roam around The doors slam shut no soul is out to meet I don’t give in keep lookin’ for what I need I graze this city every corner, every street rush through the lanes and arrive where I came from Restart my journey although I know I’ll end up with the same result again no orientation no sense for where I am no sight of content to fill the hole I’m sinking in Without a goal in my life I roam around and I bet It’s the same for you everyday all alone and no one cares about you

If you think of what we’ve done in the names of gods and crowns filling seas of blood and toil on foreign soil Away from home white men in rage for atrocities destroying lives. A genocide against humanity without morality Got no respect only their guns to conquer lands to dig the grounds destroy the earth to refine cash a culture clash An untouched world from ancient times don’t need to write their civil rights these people are proud to be “without history” But centuries of stamping down cannot suppress the iron will of peaceful people demanding freedom for their culture and heritage ‘cause the definition of dignity demands the people without history ‘cause the definition of history demands the people without dignity

Prison 03:00
Breaking out of this dark cell destroy the iron chain we all here have our prison that we’re trying to escape been stuck here for ages been waiting an eternity but today I’m getting out and I leave broken doors behind cause it’s a prison that we call life and we all try to be free so get up, grab your things together and flee Run down to the horizon leave your shadow for the night ‘cause we’re young, we’re free and we’re doin’ alright What are you demanding? What do you want from life? Sittin’ around and working 9 to 5, on vacation once or twice? This is not the intention so stop foolin’ yourself! Grab your luggage, pick your favorite book and leave everything else behind. Too much entertainment artificial guards for your cell C’mon get it, it is so simple just switch it off and run away yeah tear it down and strife for more!

you think it's cute to make your twins wear the same clothes to cut your lawn twice to make the neighbor jealous your fucking job is usual business everyday and your hundred words per minute make you feel so good you're sitting with tons of red wine in those fancy new café's talking about what's new and those bums who are oh-so lazy and you think it would be the best for all of us when strangers are getting deported and homosexuals are getting shot sweater on your shoulders - suburban lifestyle celebrated what does s-t-r-e-e-t mean to you? there's one more thing that fucks me up these days all these stupid bastards with their "neon"-knowledge do they really think they're intellectually special with their complexes and their mendacity

about

We've recorded this stuff in different sessions throughout the year. Most of this was captured in our rehearsal room. However, we owe big cheers to our buddies at A-Park Recording for being so patient with a drunkard pretending to be a drummer. Also big thx to Marius for mixing the stuff and Role at Tonmeisterei for the mastering process.
