Always Travel Never Arrive

When your true self disclosed your tone of speech changed When your true self disclosed could tell that it would leave some of us behind Literally you've become a shallow girl to me The fancy books you read took you to Berlin busy and content state-of-the-art country girl Literally you've become a shallow girl to me

How long, how long have I been stuck in this race How long, how long have I been stuck in this race He has been keeping me down with his wicked behaviour but noone can know what he's done to me But I'd rather decay than resign can't look forward don't want to rewind How long, how long have I been stuck in this race How wrong, how wrong have I been up to this day Still I can't seem to move on from any of these days but I know, I know that something should change

The Misdeed 02:13
Now you get back on your feet far away from the misdeed You think it's your fault you got hurt - he is ill He loves you and wants you back but it's not the truth He just wants to repress all the good things you possess and it's not your fault It's not your fault - not at all!

Rattlebrain sticky running shoes rattlebrain on the pretext for doing nothing glaring red bloodshot eyes used to watch the kids play round till it's dark. didn't get the wake up call quite in time but you got out and don't get back no way no way no way! "It's so strange waking up with a fresh feeling that I wouldn't trade for gold time is money but I ignore the price tags on my acts haven't got the guts to gamble and I don't need no lovey-dovey blinders" "('cause) usually I'm hit by a rapid-fire Cupid and the cost of his ignorance he shall recoup. for playfully breaking down my fences following me around and ravaging my senses so, he must pay, pay." out of range now... a little less enthusiastic than ever before talking too much about everything or nothing at all rattlebrain! rattlebrain... You clearly have a problem which is emphasized hungover you like yourself too much when you are drunk and too little when you're sober "Always tempted to give in cause my subversive cravings are killing time like a genocide but recently I've started to recall forgotten memories I look sharp now and stay focused" Used to watch the kids play round till it's dark. in a rush back home to things you knew too well, you fed from it didn't get the wake up call quite in time but you got out and don't get back "Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!"

Race for the gold with a flashlight talk it out with your walls at night they've been watching you for quite some time and you didn't even know... But suddenly they were screaming: "Don't hit the breaks at the stoplights! shouldn't you worry 'bout the outcome? you are already driving way too fast and you didn't even know!" "Go change the color of your blue eyes, something around here is just too right! Have you been drinking? Again? - You seem a bit lightheaded The drugs are wearing off and you didn't even know they were handing out placebo" >>Have I had amnesia? a picture of some random pedestrian sticks to my head I can't think of anything else - very inappropriate right now<< "You forget everything every minute now it's hard to keep track with a diary full of empty pages... No, you can't ever tell if you've been going in circles" >>I'll head up to the old gazebo for a better view This is the most realistic deja-vu!<< >>Have I had amnesia? a picture of some random pedestrian sticks to my head and I can't think of anything else - very inappropriate right now<< "could be placebo a mindtrick that ignited and you wouldn't even know"

Forest forest in a land of grey Forest you need rest you've been carrying the weight of the snow... and you never fought for much could pull up your roots you used to get wiser now you get ill Forest, forest did someone start a fire? should be impossible yet you look burned out oh so burned out... Have you ever thought about the fact that you stand still? you have all the time that you have to kill ...no wonder you are ill Have you ever thought about the fact that you stand still you used to get wiser now you only get ill Forest forest in a land of grey

If somebody asks 'bout your future plans tell them you will quit your dayjob and delete your social network profiles move back to your parents house I know you have exactly what it takes 'cause I've seen you bang your head against the wall too many times Tell them you want to be a woodpecker and do your thing do your thing...
