Hard Work 02:49
So you thought it’d be easy To come here and reach the top Well, I’m sure you can make it But you have to work your ass hard Don’t care where you come from From West, North, South or abroad Some say it’s like hell, here But most people feel at home Baby! What’s your plan here, baby? What’s your plan here, baby? What’s your plan here, baby! This place is not for starters Get used to the pressure Pollution and the brake lights Your time will be short here It’s better to learn and be wise Of course you can give up Get back to your mama’s arms But one day you’ll regret this And there might be no coming back So you thought it'd be easy!

Hey, you travelled all over the world Hey, you’ve been outside for too long Hey, the distance changed your mind Hey, you grew too cold to be kind Walk and walk and walk the way Do it and do it and do it again Walk and walk and walk the way I can’t save you anyway You’re too stupid to hang out You’re no fun to be around The night you step into that train You lost your right to complain I ripped your benefits out I don’t need your crying out loud Walk and walk and walk the way Do it and do it and do it again Walk and walk and walk the way I can’t save you anyway You’re too stupid to hang out You’re no fun to be around You can talk shit all night long You don’t have to come back home Heeeeeeey Get out of my life Everything’s not fine Heeeeeeey If you don’t like it Don’t bitch about it Yeeeeeeah You’re too stupid to hang out You’re no fun to be around You can talk shit all night long You don’t have to come back home

Dead People 04:56
The poison rush my veins like a fast speeding car It numbs me still while i watch tv shows on movie stars I lose myself on thoughts of what ifs and could have beens My hopes and dreams fade away as i start to sleep I just wanna forget it I just wanna forget it I don't want to regret it The tragedy of living in a world full of lies They promised us heaven and now no one hears our cry All this work for nothing All this work for nothing If we don't live for something We are already dead I don't want to regret it Faking some meaning out of our lives There must be something to it beyond survive All this work for nothing All this work for nothing If we don't live for something We are already dead We just have to figure it out Throw away what's bringing us down Keep our heads up not to drown This is how we break it This is now, we have it If we don't live for something We are already dead

Time's a never-ending lie, When I finally grow apart. The sensation burns inside, Hardening my cold heart. Anxiety kicks in, When I know the end is near. Giving up all I have, But I'm still right here. I'm looking for a way to find silence in the city Keep calm and turn away, See through the nonstop beating. Maybe I can see again some sense in this madness Maybe I can see again Going downtown at night, I bathe in yellow lights. Walking on bridges made of stone, I fly above the cars. Smothering the crying in, I no longer need it Keeping the noise out of me, I find quiet within. I'm looking for a way to find silence in the city. Keep calm and turn away, See through the nonstop beating Maybe I can see again, A sense in this madness Maybe I can see again I think I found the way. My silence in the city. Keep calm and turn away, See through the nonstop beating. I can finally see again, A sense in this madness. I can finally see again.

Looptrap 02:52
The lab mouse walks oblivious into the maze. It doesn't know it made a terrible mistake. The journey it begins has no coming back. It races through instinctively around the track. I want the key to break away from this shell. I need a way to escape from all this hell. Give me something to cling to. I'm breaking down. I'm falling down. Why won't you just kill me anyway? They give it some pet food so it won't complain. They put it in an looptrap so it won't get away. It feels like I sold you what's left of my soul. In the corner I wait for you to swallow me whole. Give me something to cling to. I'm breaking down. I'm falling down. Why won't you just kill me anyway? The lab mouse walks oblivious into the maze. It doesn't know it made a terrible mistake. Give me something to cling to. I'm breaking down. I'm falling down. Why won't you just kill me anyway?

Everyday is the same, Frozen in a static state, And I can’t walk away. Step away with your pride. Hang on and don’t let it slide. Calculate and survive. And I care about you even when I couldn’t do. And I care for you, ‘cause somebody’s got to. And I care for you, when there’s nothing left to do. And I care about you. To receive and to give. Life is only barely breathe. I’m sorry, but i still believe. And I care about you, even when i couldn’t do. And I care for you, ‘cause somebody’s got to. And I care for you, when there’s nothing left to do. And I care about you. Nothing’s gonna be the same, But maybe it’s not a bad thing. We just go our separate ways, Just to see if we’re ok. Back to the drawing board, We can always start again. Live and learn, travel and try, Then back home i am alive. And I care about you, even when i couldn’t do. And I care for you, ‘cause somebody’s got to. And I care for you, when there’s nothing left to do. And I care about you.

Save Me 04:24
I strive for something better than the sum of parts I try but later on my thoughts turn blind The burden of the modern life sinking in The bits and pieces get under my skin Last night I was a mess. I don't remember much, I confess. But one thing got stuck in my head: I couldn't do it without you there. The troubles I get into so I can stay. Not as I had much choice anyway Last night i was a mess. I don't remember much, I confess. But one thing got stuck in my head: I couldn't do it without you there. You kick me around, but I don't leave you. You bring me down, but I don't leave you. You knock me over, but I don't leave you. You shoot me down, but i don't leave you. 'cause in the end you saved me. The story repeats itself everytime. But i couldn't stand to leave it all behind. Last night i was a mess. I don't remember much, i confess. But one thing got stuck in my head. I couldn't do it without you there. You kick me around, but i don't leave you. You bring me down, but i don't leave you. You knock me over, but i don't leave you. You shoot me down, but i don't leave you. 'cause in the end you saved me.

Concrete 02:44
This city needs just a little more concrete Well, tell me: Who needs history? What we really need Is evolution for society Who the hell still digs. Old places with bugs, mould and piss? We need more concrete! I don’t care about what people think Well, I’m sorry... I must feed my greed. If the law breaks in. We can always pull up some strings No one wants to live On the streets or under a tree. We need more concrete! Nobody’s going to stop it. Nobody’s going to stop. Nobody’s going to stop it. Nobody’s going… We need more concrete!

Rain 04:14
Walking down these crowded streets. The sun is burning, I can't think. Bumping into many people, But this street is empty for me. Rain, come back again. Rain, come back my friend. Rain, come back again. Dry it all away. I'm sick and tired of this meeting game. We walk around this walk of shame. No small talks, I can't relate. No discussion on who's to blame Rain, come back again. Rain, come back my friend. Rain, come back again. Dry it all away. I hear a sound (It's coming for me.) I smell the clouds. (It will set me free.) I see them shout. (The city is falling down.) Just look up and let yourself drown. Rain, come back again. Rain, come back my friend. Rain, come back again. Dry it all away.

Dive In 05:18
Shut your mouth, take it back and swallow All you have planned for me. Stay away, keep it down and disappear. I need no one around me When i’m on my own, I can feel the leaves falling. I strap off my fears, I can hear the sounds fading. I’m with myself And no one else I close my eyes. That’s when i find the will to be alive Take a break from the strain and pounding. Life is taking its toll. Immerse yourself in the sea of silence. And dive in for the gold. See the world give in when you’re not a part of it. Try to understand that you are meant to be free. I’m with myself. And no one else. I close my eyes. I stretch my mind open wide. That’s when I find the will to be alive.

Run Away 02:10
I wake up, eat something, grab my bike and go for a ride. I ride as fast as i can so i can escape to somewhere nice. I look up to the grey skies. Teardrop forming in my eyes. Not 'cause life is not fair, But from the saturated air. Leaving all chaos and stress behind. Leaving all chaos and stress behind. Reminding me why we are alive. Leaving it all behind. I slide between the passing cars hoping nothing happens to me. I trust my instincts and follow my way out of this insanity. I dream about a place where we live in peace. We are no longer afraid of the ones beside me. Leaving all chaos and stress behind. Leaving all chaos and stress behind. Reminding me why we are alive. Leaving it all behind

The sun is burning outside. I lost control of my thinking far behind. It’s getting easier to blend. I keep on following the flow until the end. But then the night comes and... By night we dance. By night we sing. By night we share. By night we celebrate... ...until the morning rises. My heart is burning inside. You don’t get the right to fail twice. The city smashes you in the face If you stand tall you may find your ways But then the night comes and... By night we dance. By night we sing. By night we share By night we celebrate... ...until the morning rises. Woohoo! We dance until the morning rises!

U-Turn 06:28
Hey! So you're walking away? So... Where're you planning to go? Why don't you even wanna try. Run! But don't think you've won. I don't want you back! Don't ever come back! You'll never come back! Why don't you come back? Say, are things always your way? True, things did not turn good for you. But wait! First you loved, now you hate? Act, like you have some respect. I don't want you back! Don't ever come back! You'll never come back! Why don't you come back? When I look back I see we both had fun. Life, like a road, it has its U-Turns Great, that you don't think is too late. Now, I would never take a bow. Shame, things will never be the same. But why, shouldn't we at least try? I don't want you back! Don't ever come back! You'll never come back! Why don't you come back? I don't want you back! Why don't you come back? (I want you back.)
