Before I Raise the Fence
02:33
|

Watch out for me! I’m going faster than you think!
Watch out for me! I’m going straight forward on you!
I wanna go, will you follow?
I’ll move forward, towards my goal
I won’t be slowed down by any doubts
I will make sure that my path is cleared!
It’s up to you to stay or be a memory
Do you belong in my environment?
Are you ready to face the consequences?
What can you teach/bring/do/say?
Pledge your relevance before I raise the fence!
No time to waste, will you make haste?
A better day is on its way
I won’t be slowed down by anyone
Would rather say: “hang on, it’s not too late!”
Than have to tell myself: “too late to say hang on!”
Well, are you just some undesired weight?
Waiting to be dumped along the way?
It’s time to prove your value
Pledge your relevance before I raise the fence!

Time-Sensitive
03:35
|

I started this song in the past tense
The present is too damn intense
Future won’t be any better
Time only caulks the surface
I’m tired of the “should have”
I’m tired of the “could have”
My pain is no time-sensitive
I need more than good words together
My mind might be mighty miming a smile!
Or maybe less than a mean masquerade?
Sometimes while you wait for the next act to start
You got, you got, you got stabbed in the back
“Don’t be passive-tensed; activate yourself”
I heard it said by some of my best friends
I removed my disguise
Time is no friend in the end
There's no time to waste the end
Stand still with a sincere smile
Or do the extra mile
I’m tired of the “should have”
I’m tired of the “could have”
My pain is no time-sensitive
I need more than good words together

Raise your Voices
02:50
|
|||
Some people listen to a voice
And do whatever they are told
Killing on behalf of what they believe in
Saying they hold the One Great Truth
Missing the chance to fully live their lives
Choosing a path where there are no choices
Living only by nonsensical rules
Missing the chance to fully live their lives
Choosing a path where there are no choices
Don’t miss the chance to truly live your life
Make your own path, raise your voices!
Devout followers of a higher will
First-row witnesses of His Love
If they’re enlightened, they should know better than
To obey their god, blindfolded and mute
Don’t miss the chance to truly live your life
Make your own path, raise your voices!
Don’t miss the chance to truly live your life
Make your own path, raise your voices!
Raise your voices!

Living Right Now
02:58
|
|||
Past has passed but future is later
Straight ahead there’s a wall to be breached
Time is now and nothing else matters
Down the road there’s a goal to be reached
Stupid to give up; it’s not my last breath!
I’ll reach the top; then I may take a rest!
I’m living right now, I won’t postpone now, I won’t stay home!
There’s no delay now, I’m living right now! A dream still roams!
I’m living right now,
I won’t give up now; There is no tomorrow!
Won’t be late, I won’t procrastinate
Holding back is something that I hate
Time is now and that’s what’s important
I won’t look back, I will live the moment
Stupid to give up; it’s not my last breath!
I’ll reach the top; then I may take a rest!

Slow Murderer
02:34
|
|||
Lighting up one after the other
Cigarettes are guilty of murder
You can’t wait until later
Taking one more puff of cancer
Seeing it happen on television
Makes you wanna burn one
These little rolls of death; cutting short on your breath
These little rolls of death; the rope around your neck
These little rolls of death; cutting short on your breath
A hand in your wallet; the precursor of debts
These little rolls of death; cutting short on your breath
It’s not a roll of dice; this is a flipping coin
These little rolls of death; cutting short on your breath
It kills one out of two; big chance it will be you
Sucking your senses in the process
Don’t you reckon? This is senseless!
Slowly losing a game of chess
Don’t you feel the distress?
Well aware that you should quit
You take another hit
That engineered culprit (Slow murderer!)
I will never acquit
That engineered culprit (Slow murderer!)
I will never acquit

Against Us
03:08
|
|||
In the same misty haze
Pretending to be sad
Here comes "Kate Full of Hate"
Repressing what she feels inside
She is fourteen, sore and sure
That life is a bore
At least "Jennifer the Anger"
Thinks the same as her
Someone came in vain to help today
I told him I was bullied and then he turned away
Anyways those psychologists, they just don't understand
Fuck everyone around; I'll be gone in the end
At home her door was rarely knocked
There was a secure lock
Her parents just never talk
Better sending her right to the doc
But it feeds indifference
She chats with Jennifer
They make the point together
“Why is the world against us?”
Against us!

Time to Say Goodbye
03:07
|
|||
We had our precious times
What was yours was mine
It seems that in the end I was so blind
You painted our world so bright
It left a sunspot in my mind
You soaked the big picture with thousand lies
Oh, what you're doing to me!
When I look in your eyes here's what I see
Our story has come to an end
There is nothing left to say
Thanks for the moments
It's time to say goodbye
I had gold, you had charm
Marriage of convenience
You made believe you felt authentic love
But it was not authentic love
I was under your spell
Vicious witch with nefarious schemes

Limitless
03:27
|
|||
Has the trust rusted among us?
Filled with doubts, it broke all bonds
You hide behind with the smile of a child
You no longer carry that purity
Dictated to build a fence
To take the defensive stance
All under a secure lock
Culture of fear and mistrust
Please let the sun warm up my room
Please let the sun
Please let the sun warm up my room
Burn down those fucking walls
Limitless
There's no stress
I've got the answer
Limitless
Load the gun, board up the windows
Block the truth from getting thru’ the glass
Lies and lies, staring eyes to eyes
Spy Vs. Spy, everyone is your enemy

Full Speed Ahead
02:41
|

Full speed ahead
I’m not dead yet
If I can’t find the strength in my legs
I can surely find it in my head
It’s all about discipline
It drives me in!
Finding the will; fleeing the evil
The strength to keep on running from
What’s trying to keep me in!
But I am not a victim
I don’t play the prey well
It’s not my style to forfeit
I won’t admit defeat
I’m more like a rebel
Plotting a mutiny
I turn the wrongs into rights
I go full speed ahead
Full speed ahead
I won’t be led
I’ve got Might & Power in my head
I can easily escape the threat
It’s all about self-esteem
It drives me in!
The faith I foster that keeps me free
From frauds and from false friends
That’s trying to keep me in!

Marathon
02:42
|
|||
The time has come for me to break away
Cause it feels good at home, all alone
I don’t care at all about my job
I’d tell a thousand lies; I’d justify!
My phone is off, the streaming is on for me
Start a marathon on my T.V.
And I keep hope that no one will come knocking at my door
Would you please go away?
Just for once in my life
I’ll take some time for the real man
Who’s awaiting inside of me
One thing in mind today, I'll drift away
Cause everyday it’s always the fucking same…
It ends today!
I’ll scratch out all the truckload from that heavy schedule
Will all the time I’ve lost been given back? No chance...
Let me tell you:
“Stay where you are today and wash away the stress that weights!”
Silence, Silence!
[This silence will purify me! / Don’t lose yourself along the way!]
And we can’t stop the time
But if we sit and watch it go
We’ll see the fact; there is no trace of light along the path
Life is a whore, you never know
But I’ll fight back because I wanna break away!
