Hit & Run 02:58
Sometimes I'm like a fly stuck to the window hitting the glass over and over again if only all worries could be gone I'm still smoking and drinking eat healthy exercise can I balance right and wrong just filling the bits and the parts unsung play through life , put shuffle on and if we have a head on collision you will never be my hit and run I can flip the page but I keep reading back courage has been scrawling away I just want the party to prolong when life's becoming a free fall, is gravity on my side? there's nothing to lose until its gone saw you lose a part that’s really fun know it’s replaced with abidance but I’m missing it but you're steady and strong and if we have a head on collision you won’t be my hit and run

School's Out 03:13
not afraid of a god, blazing out, everything has come undone old and always in pain. she wants out now you say cowardly? so brave to me stand back cause she's gonna step out it was a nice ride but now she’s good to go school's out. the struggle is done and she's shaking off all control (it)aint a gutless way out cause it’s brave to travel on your own if you can't break, just bend, no one expects you to understand but if you control your own life, why should death be applied this way stand back cause she's gonna step out it was a nice ride but now she’s good to go school's out. the struggle is done and she's shaking off all control (it)aint a gutless way out cause it’s brave to travel all alone if you wait for so long you should be able to decide on your own

Get loud we need more than eleven, to succeed is to fail the first million times failure isn’t falling down, no, failure is not getting back up again success is so fucking addictive but to succeed is to fail and just laugh it off we're all morons (anyway) so long never put failure, never put it away prolong we don’t have to put failure, don’t have to put failure away Get loud we need more than eleven, to succeed is to fail the first million times I wanna learn to laugh it off cause I I will never find the answers to all my questions Why didn't the resistance send the terminator back one week earlier so long never put failure, never put it away prolong we don’t have to put failure, don’t have to put failure away so long to all rebukes in our dossier we don’t have to put failure, don’t have to put failure away oh well the world needs help and if you fall down laugh the scrapes away just embrace all your failures so long just embrace all your failures, embrace all your failures prolong just embrace all your failures, embrace all your failures so long, let's celebrate we don’t have to put failure, don’t have to put failure away

95% 03:25
are you born to resist or to get pushed around are you born to take care of yourself or to be taken over born to be lost or found are you raised to believe in yourself or in some higher being do you control the time you have or has something just turned your clock on and I don't care about the reason why we're just smart enough to apprehend how dumb we really are, collect your soul cause for 95% it will all be our call are you born to walk straight are you born to bow take it with a grin or try to find your four-leaf clover you turned the clock on now and I just don't care about the reason why we're just smart enough to apprehend how dumb we really are, collect your soul cause for 95% it will all be our call and I don't care about the reason why we're just smart enough to apprehend how dumb we really are collect your soul and take it day by day broken hearts and fighting spirits arbitrary or protocol? well for 95% it will be our call

the more income inequality the more support for idiots and the less empathy let’s add some ignorance to fear and multiply with hatred and it’s all crystal clear it's like you're pointing a loaded gun but look away and all these "maggots" are someone’s son and you just make them return the hate when there's bombs in your backyard you all move in directions you thought you would never take step back, kick the ladder away, stay high and stay afraid All the birds migrate without a visa could somebody stop those filthy fortune-hunters shoot them down too bad they fly and cannot drown can we be so indifferent to dial all help down step back, kick the ladder away, stay high and stay afraid the ground level is taken stay up or fucking emigrate

The Deep End 02:24
try to catch bees with old vinegar angry wasps are coming out, you've forgotten the honey jar while you're aiming to recruit just whoever will come along you just caused a civil war we point our fingers then we're running away now the wolves are coming out we're still shaving against the grain (forever) In the deep end we're fighting with the current below Where extrinsic motivation is a joke In the deep end we're fighting with the current below well if you don’t wanna motivate me leave me the fuck alone functional responsibility is taken away what you fight is what you actually facilitate we'll disagree simultaneously kill the team just snitch and be exactly what you hate policy as bad and soulless as an Ed Sheeran song incompetence has won In the deep end we're fighting with the current below Where extrinsic motivation is a joke In the deep end we're fighting with the current below you never wanted to motivate me so just leave me alone

Safety Off 02:44
we're getting so dumb or were we all along if we all went back in time would we change at all the world pretends to be calm but bounces back from the wall and all our traditions don't mean shit they are just personal rejecting a miracle: all for one and one for all only the ones that are the dividing us are the enemy and we’d best drop them in a cave cause there is nothing to say these fuckers are only spreading hate so there won’t be any other way rejecting a miracle: all for one and one for all push out the ones that are dividing time and time again and if you never made a foe have you ever really stood up to anyone? push out the ones that are dividing time and time again oh this dialogue is so analogue it starts over and over I’ll side with the underdog are you a volunteer of the insincere it continues over and over oh yeah

here's to my 3th anniversary and there's no deadline so let’s raise our glass now there’s no time to flee I guess we're all in this together I’ve been stunned (for) too long I never had to change for you, you never had to change for me hopefully you will change for no one I guess that if you want something that you’ve never had or just can’t quit you’ve gotta do something you never did and we all lost love, conquered traumas, fought insecurity we all got through independently no time to flee I guess we're all in this together I’ve been stunned (for) too long cause I never had to change for you, you never had to change for me hopefully you will change for no one

Making Waves 02:58
while developing you were allready able to transfer your persistance all the way you held on when the distance seemed long well the least we all expected was your decay ,but i'm proud that we have shared some d.n.a just hold on when the distance seems long Now i could spend my whole life at the barricades or not resisting anything and sleep it all away some reflections fade away but yours will stay (and you've arrived at the finish line) you're gone but you are never dead to me when injustice follows you into your home when the loss keeps spying on you like a drone just hold on when the distance seems long Now i could spend my whole life at the barricades not resisting anything and sleep it all away you're a billion miles from home but never dead to me don't stop the waves you're all you own don't stop the waves embrace your own style go out and make waves and make waves go out you were here for a short while but lived it in stereo turned stagnant water into waves

Morse Code 03:31
some people fill my battery some of the best are looking out for me whom I would follow but if you walk behind the herd you’ll always step in shit I’ll go first cause I won’t follow and when the hike is over we sit ourselves down then we understand we're too far when the masses distort all imagination advertise all your classified information is it pride just attention or adaptation so is it just my fantasy that only MY actions belong to me and I won't follow so forget your daily fucking status updates its clear it’s not that important to anyone not to anyone did you just lose your reason? now just fly your battleship into the herd when the masses distort all imagination advertise all your classified information is it pride just attention or adaptation can we still start again don't follow please just be you and don’t resemble anyone

Drinks On Me 02:00
hit the gas we burst through the wall without any breaks stripped from everything it seems like just for once nothing is fake let them all go to hell, just cut the leash and breakaway you’re gonna wanna stay good guess, you fucked it all up, do another take their not judging you, just pointing out all your mistakes let them all go to hell, just throw your cell phone far away you're gonna wanna stay drinks on me now you run away and fade into the night there’s nothing to explain just put your stupid brakes aside cause you just need to breathe, screw it you're free don’t take it all so seriously you're gonna wanna stay cause the drinks are on me

Halden 04:03
rehabilitation now what is the plan statistics made me understand a milder, non violent punishment determines the recidivism rate and drops it down what a surprise, while it just makes perfect sense with everything everywhere everyday when the darkness turns to grey it reveals the change of a better day the imprisonment remains but when hope takes over demons go away rehabilitation what's is the plan statistics made me understand a safe, non violent punishment lowers the recidivism rate by at least 50% ,well it just makes perfect sense with everything everywhere everyday when the darkness turns to grey it reveals the change of a better day while imprisonment remains, demons go, they can go away when the darkness turns to grey it reveals the change of a better day the imprisonment remains but when hope takes over demons go away
