IF I GET SICK OF IT Ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh Ouh ouh ouh Ouh ouh ouh ouh Everybody is writing a song about hitting the road ‘til the end I don’t wanna break the dream but it’s a pretty big commitment I wouldn’t walk into the sun my skin would peel off Now I wonder what magical trick makes us do it We all aim for the stars how high can you jump Can both of your ankles handle the fall Everybody is writing a song about hitting the road ‘til the end I don’t wanna break the dream but it’s a pretty big commitment I really hope that we’ll hold on our shit until Grim comes for our necks but I don’t wanna make believe I won’t quit if I get sick of it I don’t wanna preclude tomorrow Ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh Ouh ouh ouh ouh You should aim for the stars you should aim for the stars no doubt You should aim for your dreams Yeah I think you should do it You just cannot pretend You just cannot pretend to love You just can’t fake a smile I don’t think you should do it Don’t do it Cause Everybody is writing a song about hitting the road ‘til the end I don’t wanna break the dream but it’s a pretty big commitment I really hope that we’ll hold on our shit until Grim comes for our necks but, I don’t wanna make believe I won’t quit If I get sick of it I really hope that we’ll hold on our shit until Grim comes for our necks but, I don’t wanna make believe I won’t quit If I get sick of it I don’t wanna preclude tomorrow Ouh ouhou houh ouh ouh ouh ouh Ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh Ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh ouh Ouh ouh ouh Ouh ouh ouh ouh Ah ha haaaaaa

Marvellous 03:44
Marvellous You make me laugh and sometimes cry You make me hurt so deep I realize how empty I’m inside For just for one word I couldn’t say A silent thought destroyed my day My mouth gets stuck my brains go wild That extra second there Just put me in an awful awkward spot I see you frown I sense the storm It all goes quickly now I feel the shame got stuck deep in my throat But it was, marvellous If I couldn´t say it Hear me sing it It was marvellous The tile floor was way too high I would have changed into a little rat Or squirrel to run and hide I closed my eyes I swear I tried The guilt and shame had struck me so hard I almost felt like I could die But it was, marvellous If I couldn´t say it Hear me sing it It was marvellous and I loved every single minute it was marvellous, it was marvellous So lost I crawled my way through the clouds To the fire in your eyes Outbrained to upgrade your words All I found to say was ‘’dichotomy’’ Then I feared the worst but you smiled at me… it was marvellous If I couldn´t say it Hear me sing it It was marvellous and I loved every single minute it was marvellous it was marvellous

Jojo 03:19
Jojo In these dark times we all share I sometimes freeze cause I get scared That the safe space I have built around me crumbles I still try to do my share Destroyers break, creators dare Some say it’s good, some say it’s bad, I wonder If I were more like you, what would I do ? Would I complain point out my finger Any time you failed my truth You disagree with me I don’t with you It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through Jojo juge, Jojo jury I am love but you don’t see me Fighting your own kind won’t make you stronger Battles fought made us tired Even some of us retired We only lose when we divide they conquer If I were more like you, what would I do ? Would I complain point out my finger Any time you failed my truth You disagree with me I don’t with you It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through You’re always so damn serious I know we could all be better But don’t let yourself go bitter And whatever happens most of us Still want to have fun If I were more like you what would I do ? Would I complain point out my finger Any time you failed my truth You disagree with me I don’t with you It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through It’s not that terrible somehow we’ll make it through It’s not that terrible somehow

Crazy heart 03:48
Crazy heart My crazy heart has been receiving darts Tearing down the different parts That brought us to a start so what now Stories change, our fuel burns out to heavy weights The loss we’ve gained released me So I’m stuck here in the middle Of this pathetic riddle Is there a way to see this through? And I’m so damn tired of being so fired up Cause of what we won’t do Are we broken? My crazy heart has been receiving darts I threw more than one myself Not one of them has failed to hurt now Who’s been fooled Times’ twisted memories will rule I hope we won’t forget, not to regret Cause I’m stuck here in the middle Of this pathetic riddle Is there a way to see this through? And I’m so damn tired of being so fired up Cause of what we won’t do Are we broken? Are we broken? I know this may not go the way we hope We’ve been actors here before Sunrise behind the clouds a tiny glow Will clear out to quite a show I know … We’ve been actors here before Sunrise… Are we broken, are we done, are we done? Cause I’m stuck here in the middle Of this pathetic riddle Is there a way to see this through? And I’m so damn tired of being so fired up Cause of what we won’t do Are we broken? Are we done? Are we done?

I´ve always tried to move forward The shell can´t crack Careful to cover my tracks I threw away most memories The good and bad So I could never look back But silence speaks to me so louder When trying to cheat what I should remember The body screams our pain and laughter All that we think we´ve sealed Is not locked inside forever It´s all coming back some way or another I keep the noise up to avoid the faceless fear of The Thought Reaper She always sings at night with discomfort They all cannot be thrown but hide away When I lie to sleep, there´s no more liar I only preach so long without her Now I know her threnody… Whispering sounds The wrinkles on your frown Rise up your heat, it freezes your feet Never shut down Cause silence speaks to me so louder When trying to cheat what I should remember But silence speaks to me so louder When trying to cheat what I should remember The body screams our pain and laughter All that we think we´ve sealed Is not locked inside forever As we concede to bleed and feed The open scars to our own personal deceit While we all cheat what we should remember

Fog 03:39
Fog I walk this line One tiny heart beat at a time This cycle’s aching To make it through the day I chose you five To join me on this rocky ride It won’t be long now We’ll make it anyhow It comes and goes like breathing air When Fog’s around she’s everywhere I’m lost in time A concept with which I fail to rhyme My body’s weakness A state on which I thrive Your Love Has healed me beyond and above My expectations Now I think I should go It comes and goes like breathing air When Fog’s around she’s everywhere My warrior soul Just passing by to clear the door step From the shadows That I’ve embraced before Turn on the light If you want to talk to me tonight I’ll be here… I’ll be here… It comes and goes like breathing air When Fog’s around she’s everywhere It comes and goes like breathing air When Fog’s around

What love is He used to be the coolest dude That sounds about right Eventually there’d be a feud He’d shine his light on Excuse me if I may, he led I’d have a couple words to say I know what Love is I know and that ain’t what you give No that ain’t what you give Confuse, diffuse an attitude He got it spot on He’d offer you a tip or two You’d need to hang on But something was out of place A little feeling nothing can replace I know what Love is I know and that ain’t what you give No that ain’t what you give I’ve been tagging along For longer than I can remember Light can shadow good sense A heart is not to be convinced Words are powerful bate I’m always remembered too late I know what Love is I know and that ain’t what you give No that ain’t what you give

Wallflower 02:40
Wallflower Starring at the sky I wonder if you’ll try To come any closer Are you scared or are you shy? Any time I glance The bigger is the chance You notice me as I advance with Fear and hope for a great romance Oh, don’t be cruel I may be a fool Will you take my hand and share this dance? Share this dance Starring at my feet Is this all on repeat? Tonight would be so much better If you and I could share this beat No more clocks Time has stopped I’ll pretend That we’re dancing in the street Oh, don’t be cruel I may be a fool Will you take my hand and share this dance? Will I dare to even talk to you? I’ll ask the band to play ‘I wanna hold your hand’ To hold your hand And share this dance

The Ceiling and the floor Instead of chasing the black clouds away I just keep my head down Am I wasting time Feigning all is fine Pretending I’m the king and you’re the queen But the ceiling and the floor Are still the same Hope the mist might calm the anger And kill the pain Instead of facing the nightmares I’m running into walls Trying to keep a smile on These thoughts of lead Make me want to lay my head Pretending I’m the king and you’re the queen But the ceiling and the floor Are still the same Hope the mist might calm the anger And kill the pain It seems so complicated To see you go and parting our own ways It’s hard I’m so frustrated I’m hanging on denial for one more day I’ve been here time and time again I really thought I changed my game My queen, my pain But the ceiling and the floor Remain the same And the mist won’t calm the anger Or kill the pain

What you gonna do ? I got a neat trick That just might make you believe in magic What you thought is now mine Gently taking the hit with a smile What you gonna do when it comes for you? What you gonna do when it’s done? I’m like a gentle breeze I’ll just make you hold your head up and sneeze And now you’re shaking Cause you can’t remember What you’re supposed to believe in What you gonna do when it comes for you? What you gonna do when it’s done? What’s this all about Is your soul facing a drought? How do those teeth stand in your mouth? Those crazy words should knock ‘em out Too late you took the bait, too late I’m a fucking hurricane A distributor of anger and pain You are my faithful one For as long as you remain bored and numb Bored and numb What you gonna do when it comes for you? What you gonna do when it’s done?
