Cursed 01:18
Another chapter, another verse Another day, still stuck with the same curse
2.
Run 02:31
Always! Always! One hundred per cent I’d say I’d rather die than live a life asking myself “What if?” Always! Always! One hundred per cent Never holding back, I won’t go down without a fight I’ll find my way across burned down bridges – Over crumbled roads I’ll keep searching for a path that leads me to a light No maps – No guidance; Ignore all warning signs I keep searching for a path that leads me away from here Straight forward – Mind set to succeed Mind set on the destination, fuelled up by dedication Straight forward – Mind set to succeed Mind set on the destination, I won’t stop for anyone Run or get ran over Pick up the pieces, put yourself back together

Set Free 03:07
I need a moment to re-stabilize There is no slowing down; I must keep up with the pace I keep on running and running; I keep on struggling and struggling - To get ahead of this race Every time I take a moment to breathe I face the risk of losing, as I’m losing speed I suffocate on my way taking the lead I need to survive, but I must also succeed I feel the hammer – slamming down on my spine I feel the hammer slamming down on my spine I need to focus, cause I keep losing time I keep on smiling, pretending everything is fine I keep on running for the truth to shine – through I’m done with the losers giving up on their dreams Fuck – Your disapproval, cause I’m still here I said: I’m done with the losers giving up on their dreams Keep shaking your head, but where will you turn when… …Reality kicks in, stomping your face on the floor, Cause every fucking time you find yourself kicking open doors How many times do you think I’ve heard… Wake up! (Wake up!) Wake up! This is going nowhere Wake up! (Wake up!) Wake up! But now I’m telling you, Wake up! (Wake up!) Wake up! Cause We’re going nowhere Wake up! (Wake up!) Wake up! This who I chose to be And I will never be a victim of my own behaviour I design my fate; I decide my destiny I refuse to be pressed down I choose to stand above myself I choose to bear the consequences This is my choice – Set free

Sink / Swim 02:51
I've been through this shit before Now I am back at nothing I figured that I found a cure But this time everything seems worse So hopeless, so clueless I can not see the point of this For a life without a fucking meaning I'm lost in the dark again Sails set All hands aboard Straight ahead into the storm It's time to settle the score Sails set, all hands aboard Straight ahead into the storm Full capacity, no remorse I can't go back to the shore Yeah, I've said it, Here you have it What do you want me to do now? You expect me to suck it up, but I'm so fucking through with this Fuck it Sails set All hands aboard Straight ahead into the storm It's time to settle the score Sails set, all hands aboard Straight ahead into the storm Full capacity, no remorse I can't go back to the shore This anchor locked to my feet keeps pulling me down I know it's sink or swim, but I feel like I'm bound to drown Giving up was never so tempting, but still I won't give in I know it's sink or swim, so I fucking swim

It feels like forever that I’ve been hiding In this shaded room where no one can find me Aligning everything that drove me down here Trying to find a sense for what’s left of this life The clock keeps ticking away Got nothing left to prove The days are passing by Got nothing left to lose I’m seeking comfort in the silent misery Tracking down the lines on how I misconceive I can’t find closure in this make-believe Fuck this life, I’m fucking tired of being me
6.
It feels like forever That I’ve been locked down In this shaded room In the back of my mind And I look at myself As if I look into this strangers’ eyes; I see a veil of lies – wound up inside As I face the mirror I face my cracked reflection ‘Need to destroy my darker side And revive the brighter me Trembling hands – buckling knees My body’s turning down on me ‘Losing focus, but I still know what brought me here: I refuse to give in to defeat I face the mirror – I’m here to conquer I won’t neglect what’s left of me I face my demons – Raising from the depths I refuse to give in to defeat
7.
Bloom 02:22
Lately I don’t feel like myself I get rid of the days like I’m someone else I lost my face; I lost my ways; For all I know I’m stuck in this maze I am my own single fucking threat I am my own, but I’m losing control For all I know I’m stuck in this maze With my thoughts caught in a dead loop: Where do I go? What do I do? – There are no answers I guess I’ll stay here just a little longer Cause I’m afraid of what I’ll find behind the next door I try and try; I fall and fall But I’m getting tired of getting back up again I try and try; I fall and fall But I’m getting tired of getting back up again Another chapter, another verse Another day, still stuck with the same curse Isolated inside the grey With all the horrors I keep within me Nothing has changed really ‘Guess that I’m finally aware I’m still the only one who’s standing in my way So here I am, writing this letter to yours truly – a death note to my former self: “We got a long way, but it’s time to cut the rope. This isn’t working out, I’m better off alone. Don’t grieve, it’s for the better. No kind regards, I’m fucking done with you.” Shelter ‘me’ six feet deep So I can be the person I need to be From ashes new life grows So burn me down for the world to bloom
