The Heat 03:05
You can be the best to someone / But still not be good enough / Left my home a while ago / I dream at day, at night I glow / Fall down / Hit the ground / Get back up and cruise around / I spent hours on the run / You spent hours in the sun / Winners will lose it all / And we’ll be back to take control / I spent hours on the run / You spent hours in the sun / Unlike she refuses / To keep on counting bruises / I covered up all the pain / Little by little I give it away / Fall down / Hit the ground / Get back up and cruise around / I spent hours on the run / You spent hours in the sun / Winners will lose it all / And we’ll be back to take control / I spent hours on the run / You spent hours in the sun / I keep breaking away / Sleeping in the trunk / Ernest Hemingway / Told me to get drunk / I love to walk around and frown / My cold heart keeps your envy down / 24 hours 7 days a week / Kick- ing cherry blossoms right to the beat / Fall down / Hit the ground / Get back up and cruise around / I spent hours on the run / You spent hours in the sun / Winners will lose it all / And we’ll be back to take control / I spent hours on the run / You spent hours in the sun.

Sometimes 03:00
This situtation, I’ve been waiting here before / I got my eyes wide shut / I feel the water drop / Anticipat- ing / It’s all in your hands what’s to come / Don’t leave me hanging there / Because it isn’t fair / Cause I miss you like you like I miss those nights / Some- times I even miss our fights / And I would like to kiss you like I kissed the light / Would make me feel quite alright / I’m counting seconds / But the time is standing still / Look at all those memories / Buried deep inside of me / I need to get away / From the places that remind me / Of what we used to be / Of what this could have been / But I miss you like I miss those nights / Sometimes I even miss our fights / And I would like to kiss you like I kissed the light / Would make me feel quite alright.
3.
Good Company 03:40
I’ve fucked it up / Made my time rough / It’s left me feeling / Cold, alone and drinking / But I’m not blind / I see your bind / It’s left you feeling / Beaten up and reeling / We’ve all had these thoughts / This I know / Please don’t give up / We’ve got to pull through / You’re in good company / If you’re tore up inside / I find I am too / But hey, let’s still try / There’s so much to lose / The thinking man’s disease / Got you down on your knees / It’s so hard to hide / This shit comes in waves / Just try to not die / Awake from dreams / Filled with misery / Seems like sweet re- lease / The only light you seek / Just look around / See what I found / The streets are drowned by / The tears of clowns / We’ve all had these thoughts / This I know / Sometimes the darkness / Takes total control.
4.
Lose Control 02:54
As if I’m stuck in a messy place / It’s all been served on a silver plate / Are you the brother that I never had / Can I raise my voice instead / Some start to live when (they’re) about to die / Heads up, arms open wide / Watching all the embers glow / At least I’ve lived before I have to go / We all, we all, we all gotta lose control / In the fields, I feel alright / The sun’s out but no one else in sight / Not anymore on the losing end / No actions to defend / Aren’t we all trapped in a maze / Aren’t we all just on the side / Don’t we just all need our own space / To over- come our need to hide / We all, we all, we all gotta lose control.
5.
I don’t believe in what they say / Life is mine to live my way / Nothing matters at all / If we dance on through the night / No need to fight, it is our right / Nothing matters at all / I still remember / Everything / My eyes are burning / And I can’t see shit / But I don’t quit, no I don’t ever give in / There will come a day / When we all meet our end / Sleep well while we play / Living life to remember / We chase the night and shun the day / When morning breaks we’re bound to pay / Nothing matters at all / It is my time, it is my life / Killing both on what seems right / Nothing matters at all / I wouldn’t change / One fucking thing / My voice is hoarse / From all the singing / And now my ears stain to hear through their constant ring / There will come a day / When I reach the end / I won’t be afraid / Living life to remember / I will thrive and not hide / I hold myself / Accountable / For actions / I can take / I’ve gotta free myself / From these restraints / From getting pushed away / Every single fucking day.
6.
Came here to consult this congress / In concert to console my conscious / See me in trouble, see me in trouble again / My life’s a bit scrawled by sadists intent on my end / How did I keep from dying / Was it due to my lack of trying / See me in trouble, see me in trouble again / Did the crime, served my time, only to reoffend / Keep the light on me, friends / Should I try to explain / What I’d like to say / Is that I’m aware / I pose a danger to myself / I fight down in the trenches / This war of my own invention / See me in trouble, see me in trouble again / Bad decisions are the bane from which I can’t abstain / See me in trouble, see me in trouble again / I live my life like I’m saving the best for the end.
7.
In The End 02:42
Let’s find a place / Let’s find our place / We don’t have to fit in / Invite our friends / Invite the best / There have ever been / To fight back the time / To light up the dark / Where we’re coming from / To not drift away / To not lose the faith / That has brought us here / In the end / We’re just a bell to someone’s door / We’re being pushed around / Always looking for some more / Just keep on trying / We’re still not dying over here / I know a way / I know today/ We will shut out this din / If you stay / If you’ll be swayed / I know we’re gonna win / Don’t shut the door / Don’t think it a chore / Kick against the pricks / And what is more / What’s in store / Will be so en- lightening.
8.
I’m frustrated / Today’s music is so tame / Aggravat- ed / ‘Cause it all just sounds the same / Waiting for the drop / That ain’t the way to go / It don’t make me hop / Blew up my radio / This might sound cranky / I want to hear guitar / This shit won’t make me / Drive fast in my car / Don’t wanna dance to / Electronic beeps / I never need new shoes / It don’t make me move my feet / I like Rolands / As much as anyone / But modern Moog / Has made it all go wrong / This might sound cranky / I want to hear guitar / This shit won’t make me / Drive fast in my car / Today’s tech- no / Just ain’t got no soul / I say fuck no / And away I stroll / I’m frustrated / Blew up my radio.
9.
I try to lie / To myself / (And) at the same time / I’m convinced / That what it takes / Isn’t enough / To stick around / When times are tough / Can it be - ad- visable / To figure out - impossible / What if I / Would not have known / That what will be / Will make us strong / From the start / To where we are / From the gutter / To the bar / Can it be - advisable / To figure out - impossible / No I don’t need to know / As longs as we can belong / I keep coming back for more / Whatever you’ve got left in store / I’m tired of run- ning away / I wish that you could understand / And see what we had in our hands / Please don’t throw it away / Oh I hide / Only to dwell / Only to feel / That wishing well / I can’t let go / Need to abide / By the words that reunite / It cannot be - impossible / To figure out - we’re unstoppable / Yes I need to know / For what it’s worth we are strong.
