A punch in my head I want it right, I've got it left I want it quiet and there's a war in my head Through my windows shadows are moving Going to places that don't even exist Question marks are dancing in my head I try to close my eyes but it's always in vain Everybody goes to sleep I'm still awake I wont calm down I can't stand the sound of that clock antmore Every second's like a punch in my head The city's still, but I still move The streets are dark in the heat the moon shines bright Get busy or get mad Well I'll never win that never ending fight Question marks are dancing in my head I try to close my eyes but it's always in vain Everybody goes to sleep I'm still awake I wont calm down I can't stand the sound of that clock antmore Every second's like a punch in my head Night ! I'm juging myself Night ! I'm facing myself Another insomnia Question marks are dancing in my head I try to close my eyes but it's always in vain Everybody goes to sleep I'm still awake I wont calm down I can't stand the sound of that clock antmore Every second's like a punch in my head

Always Run 02:46
Always Run I've got mud on my face and a 2 on my back Sweat running down and my shirt is black Some run for fame Some run for money I run for nothing I just run for me I'll never walk Caus' my legs can't stand still and stuck in the ground I'll never walk, never walk at all I always run Caus' my legs are made out off the hopes I own I always run, and I always will My brain's still at the pub I regret all my beers My legs in the mud I taste my salted tears Some run for health Some run for victory I run for nothing I just run for me I'll never walk Caus' my legs can't stand still and stuck in the ground I'll never walk, never walk at all I always run Caus' my legs are made out off the hopes I own I always run, and I always will

No Price 03:32
No Price They try to make a robot out of me But I wont let them change my blood and flesh into iron And my brain into a circuit They want to try numbers out of my name But I wont let them change what I am into what I buy Or incomes I can represent My sweat my blood will never be so cold Caus' things I do are not to be sold There is no price written on my fucking face No I'll never be sold My heart beats beats beats beats for things that gonna kill me somehow But if I fall for passion and love someday that's beacause I'm not dead, I'm alive They wont put a price on anything that comes from me My joys my pain my angst my hopes My life is all mine My sweat my blood will never be so cold Caus' things I do are not to be sold There is no price written on my fucking face No I'll never be sold

Concrete 03:00
Concrete Four burning wheels are leading us to four walls White lines are leading us to dark and smokey rooms Yesterday's sounds are still polluting our brains The motor sounds like a slaughter to our ears Radio plays a never ending song and we move on Driving on a never ending road, concrete is our home We move on, it's our home Driving on a never ending road, concrete is our home We feel like we'll never see home again Home is where we waste our nights and our days The highway's straight our lives are winding The motor sounds like freedom to our ears Radio plays a never ending song and we move on Driving on a never ending road, concrete is our home We move on, it's our home Driving on a never ending road, concrete is our home This road leads us to nowhere Concrete is our home Radio plays a never ending song and we move on Driving on a never ending road, concrete is our home We move on, it's our home Driving on a never ending road, concrete is our home

Let's get drunk Let's get drunk caus' I'm gonna leave you Raise your glass to our love that is gone In this pub on teenage square Where we used to write our future with drunken words And tomorrow morning I will wake up Seeing double but there'll be no more two of us We were born to run And we ran through those rainy city nights But we ran in circle, go on your own to some better place We were born to run But my legs can't carry me no more Let's get drunk Caus' it is our last night Our last dreams and words Our last fight, so long babe And tomorrow morning I will wake up Seeing double but there'll be no more two of us We were born to run And we ran through those rainy city nights But we ran in circle, go on your own to some better place We were born to run But my legs can't carry me no more

Alone in my grave One fine day, dead and gone I'll leave this world behind No more family, no more friends Nothing left but my mind I'll be alone in my grave But untill then we'll be two I'll be alone in my grave And there I'll dream of you Nothing lasts forever babe Everything dies it's a fact All I've built through my life Will be useless and so am I I'll be alone in my grave But untill then we'll be two I'll be alone in my grave And there I'll dream of you

I'm not like you Friday night, it is raining and I find you here Our local pub hasn't change through all these years Around you I everything remains the samed But through the smoke I can see your eyes are now grey I'm not like you I still have these dreams Every fucking pint has a joyful taste Can you tell me How your hours have turn to days How things you loved are dead and you've gone astray Around you you everything remains the same But inside you our youth, our hopeful youth's dead I'm not like you I still have these dreams Every fucking pint has a joyful taste

Anchored boat Many years with tied fists, darkness all around Prisoner of an anchored boat To eachother we're bound But now I know I can tell A change is gonna come some day Shipping in a deep mist We've never seen the light Our eyes can't see but our eyes ain't blind We know what's wrong or right But now I know I can tell A change is gonna come some day

If You Ever 03:20
If you ever I gave you all my heart All my days all my nights I thought that you were mine Stupid love at first sight But now you're gone I can open my eyes And realise that you were a waste of time If you ever turn back If you ever come home You'll find the door closed and the front light off The house is so empty But my future's now full Of things I haven't done With you I was a fool But now you're gone I can open my eyes And realise that you were a waste of time If you ever turn back If you ever come home You'll find the door closed and the front light off

Our dark old days Memories from your past Are pulling you back To times when scars were open And blood was running down And now you're sitting here In that slow daily city bus Wondering how to stop the thoughts That make your life a waste « Why has she done that? » Stop asking now and try to give a chance to you And to your future girl I remember how tough was life Jennifer stop crying Keep your head high Make your tears stop falling Our dark old days Make me think to myself Life deserves to be lived Stand up for your kids It's a fight you'll never win It's a war that will never end Stop throwing your fists in the air You are the only one they hit And now you're sitting here In front of me in that bus I try to speak to you But words don't even come I remember how tough was life Jennifer stop crying Keep your head high Make your tears stop falling Our dark old days Make me think to myself Life deserves to be lived Stand up for your kids

The city's mine The city's mine Her streets were my playground When I was a kid Kicking cans all around People here know my name And know my face But do they know what has died in me The city's mine Here nights are my home now Her dust my drugs And I still kick cans I'm gonna leave her now She won't be my grave I'm gonna leave here now So put me on a train and buy me A one way ticket caus' I wont come back I wont come back to town no more The city's mine I leave where her heart beats But I feel its pulse less and less every day People here know my name And know my face But do they know what has died in me I'm gonna leave her now She won't be my grave I'm gonna leave here now So put me on a train and buy me A one way ticket caus' I wont come back I wont come back to town no more

One Of Them 02:52
One of them ? How many tears must be shed around them Before they start to smile ? How many bodies most float over them Before they feel alive ? How many blue songs must come to their ears Before they start to cry ? How many screams must be thrown in the air Before they start to ear ? While suffering and pain are increasing There are kids in shooping malls Overconsuming and complaing I am one of them How many prisons must be built around them Before they feel free ? How many tears must be shed around them Before the start to smile ? While suffering and pain are increasing There are kids in shooping malls Overconsuming and complaing I am one of them We're over consuming Always complaining Am I one of them ? We're always complaining We're all gonna be dying Am I one of them ?
