1.	Dear Shepherd 02:07	lyrics	buy track
i wish the day would come adam n eve would finally say we´re nothing more than just a cheap miss-quoted pleasantry GET BACK on your knees and rub your eyes in disbelief SO SAD you build your faith on fear and knee-deep agony You justify this lie with 2000 years of crime How many sheep must die until you realize the shepherd sends you to your doom you praise the word of wisdom we´re blessed with ignorance immaculate conception? a drunk night with three kings
2.	We're Still Not Getting Anywhere 04:06	lyrics	buy track
hey, have you heard the news today? for your good intentions it's way too late the world will end and this is your very last day so please don't wail about that they put forward th clock stop to cry, open your fists and wave the world godbye and it really makes me wonder will there be honesty at last? why don't we tell anyone what we're really thinking who you're hating and who you loved the most about their shady charity that you neer cared for hey, guess you heard the news today? that they made a big mistake it's now official: tomorrow is your very last day you wonder where to put all your last thoughts and hopes what is right to say, what is wrong to feel what is less, less, less, less, less? and it teally makes me wonder is being honest all that bad? you can try and kill these habits it would be pointless to regret when it's the time that we create a clarity, a little spark of decency we try so hard but we forget our honesty, speaking out so carelessly
3.	Second To None 03:23	lyrics	buy track
So now so now you´re finally there a price to win and time to spare it´s no more music, it is sport on the way from art to freedom it got lost we turn your contets into clay we aim and shoot the pigeons down So we sing SING Forever second best So we sing SING Forever second best Cause we don´t care FOR the price we´ll never get That´s why we sing SING Forever second best next time next time you´ll beat them tonight knock-out in the first round you study speeches, moves, quotes, master of arts and cheap rip-offs we turn your judges into clay i turn and shoot fuckin everyone down So we sing SING Forever second best So we sing SING Forever second best Cause we don´t care FOR the price we´ll never get That´s why we sing SING Forever second best
4.	Tootles Has Returned To London 04:24	lyrics	buy track
where will you be when you get old you´ve quit your childish dreams so long ago get up, get late, go to work, get paid, live your life so one-dimensional come home, come late, fall apart, every day, wake at night and maybe you think: and that is all? (hey) everything that i ever dreamed of is gone everything had turned black and white call it a day pulling out the roadmaps to where i belong maybe i feel home who are we when nothing´s left of what we were (i will never know) shake of this collar you´re tied to someone elses ideals of dreamless, flawless nervelessness get up, get late, try to work, too late, chase your dreams to live them finally come home, come late, feel alive, every day, wake at night, maybe you won´t think: and that is all? (hey) everything that i ever dreamed of is gone everything had turned black and white call it a day pulling out the roadmaps to where i belong maybe i feel home who are we when nothing´s left of what we were (i will never know) hey when did you lose your wings you grew too fast to sing "we are the lost boys"
5.	I'll Burn The Rabbit Hole 03:32	lyrics	buy track
so many years i run so many miles i rush you still get nothing at least i know a place a place to call my home you don´t know nothing dipping deep into the past the time, past the hole, past the rabbit and the clocking role light a match light this time light these hollows they will burn tonight we turn ourselfs into fireflys and gasoline let´s close the door for good when all is said and done cause there's nothing there's nothing left i´ll take a deep breath and it´s all dead and gone i want everything and nothing less too many messages on my answering machine too many unheard monologues we change our worn-out shoes to something valuable bring out the best in everyone and everything i left a note on the door "please don´t wait for me" i reach out and i grap the sunset with my heart cause there´s nothing and it´s all that´s left bittersweet chances, opportunitys we´ve missed and that´s everything and nothing less get up, get dressed, get out, get lost
6.	Point Blank 03:13	lyrics	buy track
we struggle but we pay the price for our dependency on smiling hearts and blue-eyed honesty without a choice you start to sink beneath a million times of chasing stars of hopeless fights and dreams we´ll never win so i´m falling back on answers accepting lies i told myself denying what we are and who we´re meant to be days go by and i go down i miss the scent i miss the sound haunting fragments of these times and of who we´re meant to be for once i am sincere about the person i refused to be the undeniable fact you´re killing me who would´ve thought that i could make the same decisions i would never understand i promised lies just like you promised me so i´m falling back on answers accepting lies i told myself denying what we are and who we´re meant to be days go by and i go down i miss the scent i miss the sound haunting fragments of these times and of who we´re meant to be meant to be
7.	50 Frags Win The Match 03:04	lyrics	buy track
you haven´t heard that i had laughed for hours thank you for proofing me that loathing you was delighting from the start how many years it took to see it that these days i wasted loving you will never come back at all THIS SONG was never meant FOR YOU to sing along WITH US My friend, my affection, no MY FOE! it´s more than i just don´t care, I don´t care at all these words are like bullets that´s FOR SURE! Some things will never change SOME THINGS WILL NEVER You haven´t heard that i had choked for hours someday somehow you´ll understand how false you really are And i hope you won´t mistake me but these years of wasting time with you will never come back at all i won´t let you get away with a slap on the wrist doesn´t matter what you do you made your bed NOW YOU MUST LIE IN IT! you loose and maybe you start listening you should know 50 frags will never win the game
8.	Silly Hats Only 03:15	lyrics	buy track
how to be how to act ask your role models listen up they will tell you what is necessary to live conformity i never claimed to have the answer i never claimed to know i never claimed to be the antidote to you until the false until the norm turned into something beautifull until the right turns out so wrong turns into what you fear the most please tell me once again how to be the better man and we try so hard we never want to be like you why do we care so much? almost pathetic just like you i become i become so cynical i confess we are all so typical stereotype write it down on your flags on these banners you carry above your head count me out count your guns pull the trigger with a wagging finger sometimes against your friends
9.	Self-Defeating 101 03:30	lyrics	buy track
these tired eyes yearning for sleep restless doze, so full of bad dreams so here we go just once again where's the salvage you believed in? you fight, you hide, you hold back for all it was right so you pay the price well there is no mistaking inescapability is calling you out i am calling you out they say it's easier take you own blame two years avoiding solitude half-hearted coward that's what you are they say someday you'll be ok fucking liars that's what they are you fight, you hide, you hold back for all it was right so you pay the price well there is no mistaking inescapability is calling you out i am calling you out

11.	... And The Rusty Trombone 04:25	lyrics	buy track
take the good you have all the best you can fake a smile cause you won´t need it throw it away and start to rearrange. what went wrong? or has it always been that way? simplify the bad, the good, it´s irreplaceable where is the mark where´s the silent cue, the signal to embark the lifeboats of a different way revolt, defeat, defining limits for a new pay out, achieve, take it back whtat´s missing for so long take it back whtat´s missing for so long where is the point to be who we are, who we were when ´s the day to know who we will be turn the page turn the sound turn these hearts from inside out did we miss the point to make a change? and so we burn burn burn til the day that we learn that the world we need to change is inside ourselfs so many times we tried so many times we realized am i too scared to say someday we´ll be ok!? and all we have is a tape to drone out sit back, rewind and push play
