Life goes on (I promise)

Chasing traces (I don't know if they are real)
Through the night
Sometimes there's nothing that I feel
But I'm alive
I wrote of darkness
It was selfish, I admit
I wanna die but I'm living for the ones who did
She's a symbol of the past
When you thought good things would last
She appears in every song
But when you can't sleep at night
Kiss the memory, that's alright
If you don't do it for too long
Being sick of everyone just made me sick of myself
I feel my self-doubts physical up in my head
Maybe I'm egoistic, so self-defined
But I could start my bloody valentine
I'm unsure myself but life goes on
Symbol of the past
Symbol of the past

Endangered Species

I never enjoyed sweat like that
My mind get's so flat, my heart gets so fat
And I get: what you said is just slapstick
Nothing but a hattrick (ridiculous, that trick)
I listen to Patrick
Oh yeah, I'm feeling blue
I'm on my way to talk to you
There's nothing more to say or do
Woah (woah)
You're an endangered species, but you feel alive
You're a time-bomb but now it's time to ignite
You are a jetset-celeb
I am just a little child
I feel like a little child
I never met someone before that leaves me wanting more
Your odor is like spores
Your look is so hardcore
You're walking out the door
You are an angel-faced whore
But I admit that I love you
Oh yeah, I'm feeling high
But I cry when you say goodbye
It sounds pathetic but I can't breathe when you leave
Woah (woah)
You take the best of me, you throw it in the trash
You take the worst out of me and say that's what I am
You are a gorgeous witch
I am just a little child
You make me go wild
You make me remember of all I can take
I feel like a saw a woman for the first time today
And I don't know what to say
But I know...

"A Bunch of Girls"
02:30

My name is Mr. Doubt and your first name is No
So marry me and everything makes sense
But I am just a writer
Trying to fill my song with love and logic holes
To create an anthem for the lost and damned
So just go on and dance
Don't listen to my words
They never could enhance your feelings for me, girl
So just go on and dance
Please dance until the end
Cause if you dance to this song it's the biggest compliment
I wrote you a song, it told you all about my love
But it died in between drum-patterns and distorted guitars
So I gave up, I cannot write a final song
Rather write the brand new summer hit so you can sing along
So carry on and dance
Please dance until the end
So that you could see
If you dance along to this song
It would be the biggest compliment to me

Dying Wish

Still chasing traces in the dark
My life continues being hard
Ever since the day I lived
I wait for my life to begin
And even if I don't know why
Something forces me to try
When you've lost the life you love
This love will be all you've got
So alive, so alive
You figured me out, you're the gun at my head
You don't have to kill me cause I'm already dead
My body's an image of every knife
If I had to leave my one last wish would be to have had a life
I've lost my pride, I've lost my faith
Searching for hope and better days
I won't ever get them back until I find the sun now
Not until we take our hands
It's the way to make this end
It's the clock to stop my time
Suddenly I feel so alive
So alive, so alive (4x)
This is the glory
And this is the pain
You gotta make the best out of everything you have
You can build up a kingdom out of empty hands
Cause this is the glory and this is the pain
I've lost everything, but I am keeping my name

Distance kills

I ripped your photos off my wall, but the frames are still hangin'
I need friends with benefits to call, but I don't have any
Traces of your naked feet on my bathroom floor
When you went away, you took the love with you
Now nothing's like before
This room is so empty... I can hear my breathing
My head's so empty, I can hear me feeling
This city is dead, no one hears me screaming
Something was shattered away, every day
Our love was limited to pages of numbers and figures in messages
I always met you in my dreams
But it came as I suspected: I was already rejected
And I waited for the day, but I waited in vain
This room is so empty... I can hear my breathing
My head's so empty, I can hear me feeling
This city is dead, no one hears me screaming
But distance can kill any feeling
Something was shattered away, every day
Shattered away, every day
This city is dead
But distance, it kills any feeling

The Legendary Summer

I see you and I smell summer air
Remember we were there
We had our perfect summer, neverending summer
Back in the day when life was a game
The two of us remain
Of our perfect summer, legendary summer
But now I'm standing here in my old wounds
And I'm completely lost for words, for words
And you are tearing my heart right open
And light it up and watch me burn
You tell me that you figured me out
But all I said was right
In our endless summer, legendary summer
You were happy with the things that you had
But I always was one step ahead
Your lips rose-red and the skin so thin
I feel your beating heart that I'm now kept in
Showers of rain, open windows at night
UV rays would dry our tears when we'd fight
And I'd disregard everything, even my guitar
And wait for the night to touch you in the dark
Kicking our shoes off and jumping in seas
Lying on grass as if it were a beach
Loving myself for the very first time
Sitting on towels on 4th of July
But bad thoughts haunt me and bite and scare me
I always thought I'd make it through
When all I wanted was all I needed
And all I needed was you
But now I'm standing here in my old wounds
And I'm completely out of mind
We had this summer, the perfect summer
We had the time of our lives
