The Wheel 03:16
THE WHEEL I woke up with the sun, bright light through the curtains of my house Ready to face another day of mass consumption I take my car for a ride making sure that my outfit is looking fine Because I care who’s out there willing to judge me Burning money for fun, I don’t mind if it ends up in the trash Struggling in vain to contain my own corruption It was never like this, nevermind, it’s the time that we live in Fooled again, but it’s ok as long as you keep buying shit But I don’t want it and I don’t need it, media lives inside my mind and I do permit it things you say you need for you, did you have the right to choose? I really have no clue, can someone help me to? sure but for a fair price the wheel keeps spinning round I’ve spotted a new ad, it is perfect for me so I think I’ll buy Fooled again! a snitch was there giving instructions I go to bed late at night, it’s been a long day of wasting money and time I feel great but in the end it’s my assumption Manipulation is out there, we have the option to choose But turning off your device means that you won’t be cool Because we’re stuck in here hanging from our purse But I don’t want it and I don’t need it, media lives inside my mind and I do permit it Things you say you need for you, did you have the right to choose? I really have no clue, can someone help me to? sure for a fair price (buy together a new TV, stay forever in insanity) the wheel keeps spinning round

NOTHING BUT NUMBERS Sue is not ok, she went through suffering when years ago she battled cancer She has no job, three kids to care for and a mortgage loan that she can’t pay off The approach is weak, distress meets greed My hopes become a kind a joke The fiction is real She can’t pay the rent for the apartment, she will hit the streets if nothing happens Compassion is gone, the price is unfair, for them we are just nothing but numbers The approach is weak, distress meets greed My hopes become a kind a joke The fiction is real

I'm Lost 02:55
I’M LOST Walking through the crowded streets among the people thinking to myself “is it here where I should be?” fancy old cars driving down the hills at night. Going to new places where we’ve never been, making one-night friends while I pretend to feel warm and calm when nothing seems alright We were young and eager to be free but maybe you were right, we weren’t prepared enough, then I did something wrong and finally you told me “this feeling is all gone” So sorry that I’m not the person you once thought, because honestly I’m lost All this time I’ve intended to be messing around trying not think, smoking all my dreams while I’m turning into dust Getting into fights when it’s barely midnight, wandering through the city in this endless dream when my biggest nightmare is not being you and me We were young and eager to be free but maybe you were right, we weren’t prepared enough, then I did something wrong and finally you told me “this feeling is all gone” So sorry that I’m not the person you once thought, because honestly I’m lost Every now and then I spend some time just thinking, do you have the feeling that at least we tried? I guess we will never know while time keeps passing by We were young and eager to be free but maybe you were right, we weren’t prepared enough, then I did something wrong and finally you told me “this feeling is all gone” So sorry that I’m not the person you once thought, because honestly I’m lost

INTOXICATED SOCIETY Withstanding over years but not tomorrow, we’ve been waiting long enough and those empty promises can’t restore the trust now It’s never been alright and while we knew it, educated to close our eyes hiding ourselves from fighting for equal rights! Intoxicated society, we’ve been schooled to be the way they need to keep the status quo along history Intoxicated society, we don’t need to plead the air we breathe to all those men who don’t see beyond their dicks And now we will be the witch for our tomorrow, we are not asking anymore, we will just take back what they stole us the day we were born But it’s still alright not judging anyone on what they have between their legs so join this fight and erase that pain from your chest Intoxicated society, we’ve been schooled to be the way they need to keep the status quo along history Intoxicated society, we don’t need to plead the air we breathe to all those men who don’t see beyond their dicks Intoxicated society, we’ve been schooled to be the way they need to keep the status quo along history Intoxicated society, we don’t need to plead the air we breathe to all those men who don’t see beyond their dicks One, two, three! counting holes, each one of us is getting what we deserve and singing “why should I feel ashamed?” lights are now just facing our brand new bronzed faces, so “why should I feel alone?”

Parachutes 02:50
PARACHUTES I am laying down in here nothing is what it seems to be, sometimes is hard to see the grass beneath your feet Here comes my question for the narrow minds or young kids with a lack of sight, “how will you live your lives over the next ten years?” Indifference is not the key Age is just a number, an ordinary one, don’t let it redefine your mind, in this herd of equals be a different kind Two steps back did indeed help us to gain insight instead of going blind but it turned to be a cliff behind our backs When everything’s been done but everything is nothing at all and now your thoughts are locked, it has always been like that after all Nothing seems so wrong when everyone is gone We live in contradiction, big hopes but no ambition, this way of thinking is not for me Role models on television disrupting our decisions, this country state of mind is clear

DOUBLE STANDARD It’s been sixteen years since you lost your hair, never faced a trouble, mom was always there, please get out of your cave, you better grow up I have known you well since we both first met, we were so much younger that I did not care, but things you had in your head they’ve never made sense Always trying to sell you’d be a role model but when it came to show your so-called success you used to fool us instead by running and hiding You gotta fix your problems but also clean your conscience, sixteen years pretending you are ok and lying every weekend about yourself When did this make you believe that you will turn into a good man today? Now no one cares! It’s been sixteen years since you left the nest, for your money problems, dad is keen to help, please get out of your cave, you better grow up One-day friends is your favorite bet, a race against the clock to raid all you can, you set the rules of the game: the hunter, the prey You gotta fix your problems but also clean your conscience, sixteen years pretending you are ok and lying every weekend about yourself When did this make you believe that you will turn into a good man today? Now no one cares! The burden of your concerns is clearly affecting our lives, you’re not like me Seizing the moment to spit another lie, a useless flair I’ve been right for years, you’ve really never changed, the truth is colorless I believe nothing, I believe nothing is real

Solitaire 01:50
SOLITAIRE Every day is like the last resistance, back and forth, increasing distance The sons of dust, eternal research Solitaire Every day, the constant distress, the shows are there but the songs are useless The summer punk brought the fashion fish tank, the newest cut, the latest instance You want to kill it and spend some time, let me see your face You want to take a proper shot, let me see your hands “Let me take a picture”, welcome to the show, the band is at the photocall Take me out of this shit, just play and make some hits, make sure that someone follow us Who cares about resistance when all we need is here? Welcome to the senseless dance.

STILL MAKES NO SENSE I never thought it might be like this when I wrote that song years ago Hospitals to breath, a few pills I hate to pull me out the hole Endless nights gazing at that picture of you on my wall, the "Happiness" poster was laughing at me while I was stoned And now, seven months later something's changed but it doesn’t mean that I’m ok Choked, when we play I still feel the same, the pain is there cause’ my mistakes Dreams of you and me when I’m awake Even though I know you’re cold enough to not give me one more chance If you’d realize I’ve truly changed so you may change your mind Even though I know you’re hooked on that girl and it really hurts I can’t move on, dumb enough to think that the magic will be back And now here I am writing a new song trying not to drown myself in tears Then I’m sure you’re gonna listen to it but anyway you know it’s real Guess we are not into the same old thing while those green eyes stare at me You remember “damn near perfect” right? Cause logic makes no sense at all It still makes no sense at all…
