the girl in the red scarf from the hole in the backyard she´s out for some action and some reputation ten years in tight black jeans not always that good as it seems i have this guilt in my heart the end or a new start? we beat the shark the boys in the playground are building bombs for the huge sound the hunt for father´s pride and a life on the fast side ten years you play this song you still get the words wrong there´s a question in your heart is there an end or a new start? we beat the shark in this life the kids they love fast cars down in the streets glowing big stars there´s a light in their heart it signals the start we beat the shark in this life

as a look from the grey man as the houses and the streets have glasses on he carries weights in his brief-case with a solid education a gentle manner in every situation make a parting and face the other side as assurance disappears as you stumble and questions are loud and clear can you focus the line and see a light? when the day is growing older dumb faces in the greylight glowing so this is the life, this is the day – you´re joking! waiting for the flood cowering till it comes a room for the damned a haven for the crashed frustration – frustration but you´ve lost your voice again with a hint from the black man who´s in charge of his thoughts and is moving on he carries weights in empty hands with a solid education a distinct pose in every situation is there nothing left from the other side? when the year is growing older familiar faces in the greylight calling this is the life, this is the day – you´re joking! waiting for the flood cowering till it comes a room for the damned a haven for the crashed frustration – frustration but you´ve lost your voice again

she´s been on a ride trouble in her eyes the smell of black leather follow, not – what means fighting? follow, not – are we frightened? details moving, in empty trains details moving, at night she´s digging in the sand laughter in her mouth the smell of black mould follow, not – what means fighting? follow, not – are we frightened? details moving, in empty trains details moving, at night move – follow – move – follow till we fall back move – follow – move – follow till we fall back we´ve been on a ride follow, not – what means fighting? follow, not – are we frightened? faces, static – in empty trains faces, static – at night face – static - face – static till we crawl back

in shades 05:04
a shelter with wet walls she leaned to the door a fake statement without words here she comes stumbling white lines she draws an ode to life for the radio in shades are we a distinct appearance is not what you´ve lost wiped your eyes and walked away it was a new try when he crashed into her a loose memory in random minds in shades are we here we stand wasted with thoughts nailed to the wall can you face another lie? and the shadow is on the inside no days of grace she came from the red lights in a shady glance turns on the tape and sings alone in shades are we here we stand wasted with thoughts nailed to the wall can you face another lie? and the shadow is on the inside no days of grace

today we saw today we fall today just failed on the second day things break dead city numb for years of sleep, another empty head our faces break in two for the lies we bare, for the rain that falls for the ashes that fall in our eyes and ears now for the last time on the inside scars – the memories we share a window filled with lies a silhouette that used to be the shape of years, the shine in my eyes today so failed embraces filled with void as faces turn their back on you, another empty word a splinter for the pure for the bridges crashed, with the brinks we´ve made for the snow that falls in june on her way today we fall today so failed

the drowning 04:42
take me inside to find relief to find a truth an open way give me truth while images are broken through the paths we cross is there a solid point? a view? a step made of stone? in clouds i lay my head down to the ground drowning in you, drowning in me fall away from doubt clear my mind in a single strike throw this world in pieces you and i, standing on grounds of green pass the waters to me don´t count any hours sand on the ways wind through the doors seeing through you, seeing through me take me inside take me as a whole you pull me deep falling through you, falling through me you and i leave the lights on inside the walls inside my thoughts crashing through you, crashing through me take me inside hold me while I fall we dive in deep come back to you! come back to me! you and i i stand and shiver i stand and call out loud the house is open wide but we don´t come knocking crawl back inside there´s no picture of a home the sky is open bright the door is open!

white boy, blank stare light a fire in my eyes disguised in neon lights you were flashing, flashing, flashing we were the golden people wasted for the holy week you were supposed to show me love but shot shot shot shot shot it away lost on the road to wisdom with no pair of shoes we fell down like broken angels with no kind of loveliness to lose black girl, ugly cat we were stuck in the same room for months show me the path to a home far away with the bright shining light of my cigarette

dead end 05:02
this is no way to end up this is no way to go watching your shadow come home through swollen eyes you fall this is no way to break up this is no way to cede on glory days we´re tumbling and missed the point to go this is no cause to fall down this is no day to win still watching your hand lose hold the head a mess at all this is another sunrise not yet another day you numb your point of view though you keep this secret role this is no road to follow this is no stretch to take

you´re just a face in the crowd and you will fail anyway let them rest in peace will you stay? moving forward, walk in line a disregarded question let me disagree but what will i say? they stare with empty eye sockets the desperate, always blind in chimera we will wait holding leaden weights in our minds petrified i will wait the same excuse in my mind it´s just a face on a wall it won´t go away as we miss the point the doubts stay moving forward, walk to the light a disregarded question will you disagree? what will you say? they stare with empty eye sockets the desperate, always blind in chimera we will wait holding leaden weights in our minds petrified i will wait the same excuse in my mind it´s just a face on the wall
