Lying on the grass
with the world in front of us
In our best years
feeling hope and endless trust
But I'm trying
I'm trying
not to be
stuck in the past
Climbing that hill
only to fall down again
Trying to escape
so noone's watching us fail
Over and over again
Lying on the grass
The world in front of us
Our heads in the clouds
We still live in the past
With the world in front of us
Conquering a mountain
Traveling the world
Sitting here in my room
Sailing across the ocean
Free like a bird
Sitting here in my room
Climbing that hill
only to fall down again
Trying to escape
so noone's watching us fail
over and over again
Lying on the grass
the world in front of us
our heads in the clouds
we still live in the past
But I'm not like everyone else
Noone is like everyone else
Lying on the grass
With the world in front of us
In our best years
Feeling hope and endless trust
But I'm trying
I'm trying
not to be
stuck in the past
Climbing that hill
only to fall down again
Trying to escape
so noone's watching us fail
over and over again
Lying on the grass
the world in front of us
our heads in the clouds
we still live in the past
But I'm not like everyone else
Noone is like everyone else

When the show begins it's all about
hiding what's underneath
The lights go out the curtain drops
The wolfs, they bare their teeth
Meeting them, when you're on your way down again
Never lending you a hand, your so called friends
The grass is green on our side
so how does it feel
You're building up these walls with your pride
How does it feel
I don't know what's best for you
but that can't be the key
You may be looking in the right direction
but you might never see
When the show begins it's all about
the heart, the things that count
Resisting the flood, standing our ground
Living under the sun, looking at the darkened sky
Amused by all your pride
Your day turns to night
Why do you even care about all the weakness
(You're) hiding all your self doubts
Slipping on the frozen ground while tripping up everyone
In the shadow of a statue, laughing at the sun
Aiming with an unloaded gun
Singing to a song unsung
The grass is green on our side
so how does it feel
you're building up these walls with your pride
How does it feel
I don't know what's best for you
but that can't be the key
You may be looking in the right direction
but you might never see

Play With Fire
03:21
|

|
In a world full of noise
noone dares to make a sound
Only a few
try to tear this monument down
I am not a drone at least not anymore
Don't want to live with my eyes to the floor
So I strike a match and I burn it down
(I) Play with fire, I step out before I get drowned
There is no difference between right or wrong
Cause I promise you it has been there all along
Those who decide what is wrong or right
Added fule to the fire they started a fight
Sometimes I understand
Time taught me that it could be worse
An exeggerated need for safety lies in the air
Time taught me that it could be worse
I am not a drone at least not anymore
Don't want to live with my eyes to the floor
So I strike a match and I burn it down
(I) Play with fire, I step out before I get drowned
In a world full of noise
noone dares to make a sound
Only a few
try to tear this monument down
Waiting for the stone to roll
No chance it's all about you
Trying to lock out life
No chance it's all around you
I am not a drone at least not anymore
Don't want to live with my eyes to the floor
So I strike a match and I burn it down
(I) Play with fire, I step out before I get drowned

Bright Nights
03:44

Wake up, how about a little faith
Remember the times way back then
Bright nights opened up my eyes
No more wasting time
This life has so much more to offer
I tried to make the best of it
Wake up, how about a little faith
Remember the times way back then
Bright nights opened up my eyes
No more wasting time
I can't believe that you're still into this
so let me drag you down
Let me show you my emptyness
Don't turn into stone
Don't act so cold
Think of all the precious times
and make your way back home
Bright nights
Open eyes
Wake up, how about a little faith
Remember the times way back then
Bright nights opened up my eyes
No more wasting time

Just take a look see how it all has changed
so stop crying, stop hiding
He has no clue of what you will become
stop crying, stop hiding
You, look at me, what do you see
Got no looks, no courage
I guarantee that I'm forced to stay the same
Always the one to blame
Sounds familiar
I know what you're going through
cause I've been there too
There's one thing you can't deny
When the wind clears up the sky
even shadows fade because of the light
Take a look at you what do you see
You run and hide but he's no enemy
You are not forced to stay the same
but you'll remain the one to blame
I am taking forward steps
but sometimes I can't help it
It's like being trapped in a spider's web
with these thoughts stuck in my head
Just take a look see how it all has changed
so stop crying, stop hiding
He has no clue of what you will become
so stop crying, stop hiding
Sounds familiar
I know what you're going through
cause I've been there too
There's one thing you can't deny
When the wind clears up the sky
even shadows fade because of the light
Just take a look see how it all has changed
so stop crying, stop hiding
He has no clue of what you will become
so stop crying, stop hiding

Nothing To Worry About
02:27
|

|
Time can be so unforgiving
and your voice, it kept on whispering
But you're wrong
My time's not running out
You're wrong
At least I've plenty to dream about
Don't bother
How could I expect this of you
The Grass is green on our side
Believe me, I'm speaking the truth
You're wrong
My time's not running out
You're wrong
At least I've plenty to dream about
Now I'm gone
I am gone for good
You were wrong
(I) won't fail like you would
Don't bother
How could I expect this of you
Don't bother
I won't dare to expect this of you
Our time's not running out
Nothing to worry about
Nothing to worry about
Our time's not running out

Shipwreck
03:31
|

Like a castaway keeping his head above the water
in an ocean so grey
But he has never left the shipwreck
He never tried to escape
And you thought you drifted off course
No self doubts and no remorse
Way to go, way to go, perfection needs action
Wait or go, wait or go, dreams are drowning in the sands
The day will come, so just walk along
and all your troubles will forever be gone
They will be gone
Life is already short enough
so sometimes I want the sun to blind me
I look for light
I'm young, I'm open minded
And you thought you drifted off course
No self doubts and no remorse
So young
No need to apologize
cause this is your life
No need to hide
The ship reached the point where it is out of sight
Way to go, way to go, perfection needs action
Wait or go, wait or go, dreams are drowning in the sands
The day will come, so just walk along
and all your troubles will forever be gone
They will be gone
Never leave this shipwreck
It will be built up again
There won't be many lights to guide you
but let me tell you one thing my friend
Sail on

Form A Line

I tell you one thing
always question everything
and god, don't you ever stop dreaming
Right, so here is one question
Where did you pick up these lines
Where did you pick up these lines
You think you're one of a kind
Crowded room filled with skin-deep minds
taught to become one of a kind they form a line
Nothing counts, they blend in, noone cares
Contrast is everywhere
Form a Line
Please turn this way
On the edge of becoming voiceless
Standing in line
You're turning your back on yourself
Strained in the right direction
you're going your own way
Repeating those words
Repeating
You think you're save from falling
But let me tell you one thing
You already fell
Cause of the limits you set to yourself
You're on the leash
Nothing more than a mindless breed
Caged mind
Don't try
I could never ever be like this
No
Form a Line
Please turn this way
On the edge of becoming voiceless
Standing in line
You're turning your back on yourself
Strained in the right direction
you're going your own way
Repeating those words
I tell you one thing
always question everything
and god, don't you ever stop dreaming
I tell you one thing
these scars remain
so don't make this mistake
Don't make this mistake
The scars will remain

A Better Life
04:31

I feel safe in this place
Bright nights and everlasting days
Looking down the road, there is so much more in sight
I'm forcing myself to discover a new life
A better life
No way, I'm not going home
(the) wind is whispering it's a good time to roam
So take my hand we set course for this place
Just don't think about it, it's nothing more but a game
It's the time and place where days last forever
New things, I've never seen
become my hope, my anchor
Free to go wherever I want
Able to get rid of my anger
I feel safe in this place
Bright nights and everlasting days
Looking down the road, there is so much more in sight
I'm forcing myself to discover this new life
Won't let you bring up those memories
My life's in bloom, full of energy
I Won’t stay for you
cause I’m free to go
No pressure
This is the place where I feel safe
No hollow rules
My dreams will rise from their graves
I feel safe in this place
Bright nights, everlasting days
No way, I'm not going home
(the) wind is whispering it's a good time to roam
So take my hand we set course for this place
Just don't think about it, it's nothing more but a game
Not more than a game
If I won't try to change a thing,
I'll stay servant and you'll remain king
When I finally reach this place,
you'll never see me without a smile on my face
