The Reckoning

spent so much time, never thought that far
but then i realized just what you are
all my energy, all that you meant to me
turned into disgust when you betrayed me- FUCK
did nobody ever tell you about honesty?
ain't it your conscience that forces you to kneel?
your definition of trust - it means nothing
you treat it just like the air that you suck in
feel free to tell your side of this fuckin' story
but life hits harder than a punch in your face
'cos now you realize not anyone's there
now you feel what it's like when nobody fuckin' cares
this is not how to treat the ones you claim to love
even if it seems the easy way out
i'm glad you've opened my eyes so now i see
what kind of people won't ever get close to me

In Vain

it's a process it is a torment
findin' out what's really important
i caught myself losing integrity
i'm fuckin' scared of losing my identity
every day the seams stretch, still the doubts are left
while the blindfold is getting too tight
i fell into the ditch and kept crawling
just to save myself form drowning
it's gettin' closer
gettin' closer to my throat
with every hour that is lost
my guts are fading to dust
with every passing day
the power's fading away
i couldn't find any cure
nor could i reach the door
how could i miss the stairs
up to the next floor
breaking down the barriers
with unsuitable tools
trying to burrow a way out
with a fucking' spoon

Crushed

staring at the felony
the one it always used to be
though you won't get rid of me
but you'll never get a shit of me
starin' at the beautiful lies
all the light hearted times
and all the secrets inside
never wanted to leave you
i'll never do
just be sure there's nothing left for you
the hardest times already left me bleedin'
no use fightin' the feeling
real life got its claws around my neck
there just ain't no way to get back
not only once i asked for you to stay
now i'm just relieved knowing you won't possess me
the hardest times already left me bleedin'
no use fightin' the feeling
being CRUSHED
won't get you out of my head
know you'll stay but accept that you're dead to me
you were never real
it was all just a fuckin' dream
i'm just relieved knowing you won't possess me

tried to see why this your way to be
what you've done and what you do never made sense to me
your cv is flawless and clean
but now you think you're a better human being
claim to speak from a higher position
so don't be afraid that i won't listen
what do you think you're born into
do you think it's a different world?
i gotta disappoint you
in the end we're made of the same dirt
what seperates us is not our looks or heritage
it's the ideals and perspectives that we have
just like the way of setting our priorities
that's why we will always be enemies

Lethargy

get me out of this place
or is it another breath that i can't take?
four walls surrounding me
nothing to explore, there's nothing new to see
though my feet won't carry me
all i feel is lethargy
get me out of this place
show me the things i couldn't see
or you could leave me all alone
and it won't matter to me
so this should be the social life
they always talking 'bout on the tv
the energy's spent overthinking
and watchin' shit on three different screens
how could it be wrong
since i'm not the only one?
how could it be wrong
since i got it all in front of me?
get me out of this place
show me the things i couldn't see
or you could leave me all alone
and it won't matter to me
