LIVE FOR
Counting the days
like sand in a glass
thrown away in the wind
There's nothing else in this life
Counting the money
like paper dolls
thrown away in the trash
There's nothing else in this life
(We have so little to live for
There's nothing else
in this life)
Running away
only to go back to the beginning again
(What is this life for? Why are we here?)
I find myself repeating mistakes
again and again
(again and again)
Only in my mind lies the truth
of who I really am
(We have so little to live for…
Where do we go from here?
What lies in store for us?)
walking walking walking…
running running running…
(I can feel my heart breaking
in this world
of reality… all my dreams are shattered)
They say we should be grateful
for what we've got
I say it's not enough
when there's so little left for us

FAIL
You set me up to fail
when I'm feeling down
can't get off the ground
so afraid to try
so afraid to try…
(what's going to happen to me?)
I wanna sit and cry
can't do something else
when I think I'm done
I start trippin' up
can't get through the night
no one's stopping by
(no one cares about me)
I wanna sit and cry
can't do something else
(what do I do)
so afraid to live
so afraid to die
(what can I do)
you set me up to fail
you set me up to fail
(I can't pretend anymore)
- why can't I be
(you're not like them)
- just like all the rest
(you're not one of them)
- thinking life's so fine
- everybody's fine
what's . become of me
what will happen here
(you're a coward)
too afraid to live
too afraid to die
what should I do
what can I do
I can't go on like this
I'll never make it to the end
so afraid to live
so afraid to die

SUMMER NIGHTS
Summertime in the city
makes me feel like death
there's no sunlight at all
only cold and fog
When there's no one around
makes me feel alone
All by myself
here on the streets
Summertime in the city
there's no sunlight or day
there's no place for comfort
no one at all
Hiding inside here (now)
hiding in cold of day
hiding inside
yourself

Loneliness is a Killer

LONELINESS IS A KILLER
I stood alone on the street
watching people pass me by
not a single glance to spare
Loneliness is a Killer
Sneaking up on you
When one and one
go
hand in hand
but you've got none
you're
all alone
Loneliness is a killer
Solitary-beds
at night
but you're alone
yeah you're alone
there's no one left to care
You've only got yourself to blame
they say
You've only got yourself
to blame
for the hell you've been through
for the terror you've been through
for the people who abuse
you
Loneliness will kill you
in the end

No One You Know

NO ONE YOU KNOW
(No one will say a prayer)
Where is your daughter? Where is your son? When you're on the run, nobody cares...
It's no one you know
so you don't have to care
you don't have to care
(never again)
It's not your daughter
It's not your daughter
so you don't have to care
It's not your son
It's not your son
so you don't have to care
no, you don't have to care
(too late for a prayer)
On the run
On the streets
(all alone)
Nobody sees
Nobody cares
(or gives a damn)
and we all disappear
and we all disappear
We're not even - here
(No one will save your daughter)
(No one will save your son)
(No one will save the others)
Where is your daughter?
Where is your son?
When you're on the run
Nobody cares
It's no one you know
so you don't have to care

FAIL (REMIX BY K WAGNER)
You set me up to fail
when I'm feeling down
can't get off the ground
so afraid to try
so afraid to try…
driving
walking
sleeping
praying
what can I do?
driving
walking
sleeping
nightmares
I can't sleep
I can't dream
what am I supposed to do?
here…
so afraid to live
so afraid to die
I can't survive here
on my own
why can't I be
(you're not like them)
just like all the rest?
(you're not like them)
thinking life's so fine
(you're not one of them)
everybody's fine
(you'll never be one of them)
can't break this pattern
inside
(you're a coward)
(you're a coward)
(you're a coward)
too afraid to live
too afraid to die
how can I be happy
when I know it will never last
everything I have now I will lose
it's only a matter of time
so afraid to live
so afraid to die

PUSH (PUSHING THROUGH)
I don't know what to do
I feel it thrumming through
Inside my mind at night
I feel the darkness here
- - -
I don't know what to do
I feel the darkness here
I don't know where my mind is
I don't know what to do
I feel it coming through
I feel it breaking through
I don't know what to do
I feel it pushing through
Into my mind at night
I feel it breaking through
It's pushing deep inside
I want to scream out loud
I…
I…
I...
I don't know what to do…
I don't know what to do
I feel it pushing through
This melody inside
It's aching in my bones
I…
I…
I..
feel it
I…
I… don't know why
I…
I…
I...
It's pushing deep inside
It's breaking through my mind'
I don't know where to go
I'm hiding deep inside
Can you feel me now?
Can you feel it too?
Can you feel it too?
Feel the way I do

ON FIRE
My world is on fire
from the lightning that struck
my world is on fire
from the flames that have spread
to this life
I'm feeling alive yeah
I'm feeling alive
do you know what it's like
to be born from the fire
do you know what it's like
to be born from a star
a star has fallen
I was born then
ahhhh ahhhhh
I'm feeling on fire'
you're feeding the flames
from the fire I brought here
I'm burning alive
from the fire that's spreading
I'm… feeling…. I'm…. feeling…
fine
rising up
I'm feeling
the heat
sweet heat
embrace me
sweet heat
engulf me
sweet heat
burn me!
burn me with your fire
your flames will spread
and burn this world down!
into a star
where I will be
will be
can you
why I… I… I...
will be
reborn
again
reborn
again
