Alone
With a brief word she said she was leaving
and by the vacant sad look on her face
They all could have guessed at her reasons
Still emptiness only remains
I am going home again
I, I can no longer stay
I am going back home again
I, I just need to be ... alone
By now they all thought she'd be missing
She could have just written or called
Now the only sound heard was the hissing
Who to blame when it's nobody's fault
Aaah, going back home again
I, I can no longer stay
Aah, going back home again
I, I just need to be ... alone

Messed Up
You took some space, you took some time
Faulted twice, I crossed the line
You couldn't watch, you couldn't bear
I broke the seal and lost my share
What the fuck, I messed up
What the fuck, I messed up
Now please, don't leave me
I needed you, but took what's mine
You left me blind, I walked the line
You walked in fire, I walked through rain
You washed your feet, I lost the game
What the fuck, I messed up
What the fuck, I messed up
But please don't leave me
Please don't leave please
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
Regret might be the only way of knowing
you took a wrong turn, you've made a mistake
But you feel, and as long as you still feel
You feel the good and the bad, what's in your head and what is real
But what if you don't feel?
what if you don't know?
What if you don't show regret, like it's not your own fault
you didn't do it yourself and it's all in fact an act of god
What the fuck, I messed up
What the fuck, I messed up
What the fuck, I messed up

The Goddamned Truth
Time to remind you of something
I hope you'll understand
It might not be the words you came for
But it's the truth my friend
There will be nothing left unless we recall and that's the goddamned truth
In case you haven't noticed
You may have never seen
But “ignorance is bliss” goes by
If you know what I mean
There will be nothing left unless we recall and that's the goddamned truth
There will be nothing left unless we recall and that's the goddamned truth
There will be no more fighting
There will be no more war
Simple 'cos there will be nothing left
worth a fighting for
There will be nothing left unless we recall and that's the goddamned truth
There will be nothing left unless we recall and that's the goddamned truth
There will be nothing left unless we recall, and that's the goddamned
Time to pop the question
Though maybe overdue
Do you read me, just a little bit?
Or did it not come through?
There will be nothing left unless we recall and that's the goddamned truth
There will be nothing left unless we recall and that's the goddamned truth
There will be nothing left unless we recall and that's the goddamned ... truth

Today
I get so tired of the game
At least it feels like I stopped trying
I don't feel lost, I don't feel shame
Don't know the rules that are applying
Well I might seem down in the morning
I may still dream or may be through
I might be off without a warning
But at least I'm true
Cos today, everybody's on a secret mission
While everybody says they're doing fine
Everybody meets the competition
And everybody says “it's going great”
Don't you agree we're going somewhere
Just meeting somewhere down the line
I get that feeling nothing ain't fair
But you're right I don't believe you're doing fine
Well I might seem down in the morning
I may be into or over you
I might be off without a warning
But at least I'm true
Today, everybody's on a secret mission
And everybody says they're doing fine
Everybody meets their competition
While everybody says “it's going great”
Solo
Well I might seem down in the morning
I may be into or over you
I might be off without a warning
But at least I'm true
Today, everybody's on a secret mission
And everybody says they're doing fine
Everybody meets the competition
While everybody says “it's going great”
Today, everybody's on a secret mission
And everybody says they're doing fine
Everybody meets their competition
While everybody says “it's going great”

For God's Sake
I guess she called for me today
Auto-reply, I just ignored it
She said she'd still had lots to say
Figured I didn't catch that warning
We do believe there's more in life than living
We do suspect there's more in life that cannot reach the eye
Just in time you've caught me dreaming
Right on time I'm back on track
Is everybody ready
Is everybody fine
Can everybody see me
For god's sake get in line
She did look marvelous that day
Some call it luck, some say it's effort
She mentioned once the dues were paid
No cross to bear, we're doing better
We still believe there's more in life than living
We do suspect there's more in life that cannot reach the eye
Just in time you've caught me dreaming
Right on time we're back on track
Is everybody ready
Is everybody fine
Can everybody see me
For god's sake get in line

Question

Question
Do you know by the end of the show, you recommended to go,
well I went, even though you offended me. Yes, you did.
You couldn't say which way to take, a mistake I won't make
twice a day, but here to stay was too much asked and also fake, so this is it
Can't you see – I'm getting older – yes I am
Can't you see – What's on my shoulder – well, here I am
Well, I've got a question for you
Do you even know which way to go
Or is being lost your way of saying sorry
I've got a question for you
Is the way to act part of the show
Or do you not accept what's done to be the past
Well at last, the dice are cast, and sure we're getting somewhere finally and now it's time to see
the insights that you made
Were just a trade between faith when you preyed while you prayed
and you said it would be great, but wait it wasn't actually,
and factually it wasn't even straight
Well, I've got a question for you
Do you ever know which way to go
Or is being lost your way of saying sorry
I've got a question for you
Is the way you act part of the show
Or is your silence supposed to make me feel less bad
I would like to ask a question
I would like to ask you please
I would like to ask a question
I would like to make you plead
Now it's the end of the song, and my friend, you were wrong
And you are not aware that even though you do not care you play along, don't you
Can't you see – I'm getting older – yes I am
Can't you see – What's on my shoulder – well, here I am
Well, I've got a question for you
Do you ever know which way to go
Or do you feel the need of changing love for glory
I've got a question for you
Do you ever feel like letting go
Or do you not accept what's done to be the past

Tomorrow
When it's time to close your eyes
I guess it's save to say, there'll be another day
Untill the morning fills the skies
What needs to be is done, and all the songs are sung for now
but tomorrow, begg, steal or borrowed, will be another day
Think of every single night
Surounded by the days, in each and everyway
There is no proof, no garantuee
And there's no need to be, it's just philosofy
So tomorrow, begg steal or borrowed will be another day
You hear the wind blow, you see the moon glow
bright in the deep dark sky
You see the lampposts, with both your eyes closed
And sounds that cannot be, it's plain to see there's something out there
It's just the wind, it's just the shades
But you are safe and warm, no-one can do you harm
We keep our watch all through the night
Not till we end this song, but all the nights to come For now,
let tomorrow, begg, steal or borrowed, just be another day

Wake-up Call
I know it's past your curfue
I know it's time to sleep
But I just want to hold you
don't want to count no sheep
I know just how it sounds but the desire is profound right now
My view ain't clear but I can see I feel for you you feel like me
It's no time for sleeping, right?
I'll be there in the meantime
And when it's time for sleeping, baby
This is a wake-up call
It's too late for small talk and it's too soon for drinks
But after all the signs you send me, or at least I think I saw you wink
The night is cruel but there's no rule that states that we should be a part
You know it's late but have some faith it's meant, at least it mends the heart
It's no time for sleeping, right?
I'll be there in the meantime
And when it's time for sleeping, baby
This is a wake-up call
Interlude
It's no time for sleeping, right?
I'll be there in the meantime
And when it's time for sleeping, baby
This is your wake-up call

While I Just Want To Disappear
I can't go on
This same old song
I fear I might not be that strong
To face the day
And all the way
It feels like I am gone astray
Sometimes I do feel fear
A fear to fade away
While I just want to disappear
Oh, carry on
There's nothing wrong
It's just the drama that I long
To be or not
To be at that spot
I see the twilight of my plot
Sometimes I do feel shame
Sometimes I do feel sin
But it's part of my game
The game we play when we're in fear
While I just want to disappear

Sally
Sally I saw you today
Could have waved, would have smiled, should have said
Instead you just walked straight away
What was left of my smile turned to sand
It may just seem unconditionally mean
But I see what you did
Don't know if it's better or worse
It's the end of your verse, so that's it
I, I don't care
I, I don't care ... anymore
Silly I don't want to talk
But it's sad that not everything's said
Before you walked out of that door
and left me with a hole in my head
It may just seem unconditionally mean
But there's no need to swear
Don't know if it's better or worse
But observe now I don't even care
I, I don't care
I, I don't care ... anymore
Interlude
Sally we've seen once again
While I wish I would see you no more
Silly I don't want to shout
I'm afraid I might call you a .....
I, I don't care
I, I don't care

This Life Is Killing Me
Looks like your part is over
Now becomes the past
No time for tears, it's time for closure
Like it never was
I guess sometimes you wished it never was
This bottle holds no answers
It just never does
Sure you had to see rock-bottom
To realise how empty it all was
So much time, spend 'n wasted
Untill you found the need to say
This life, this life, this life is killing me
You can't take back once spoken
No more to explain
You cannot fix what you left broken
Nothing eased the pain
But I guess you had your own way of handling that pain
So much time, spend 'n wasted
So you felt no warning when you said
This life, this life, this life is killing me
Now life ain't fair
You cannot be spared
But since you're gone I strongly feel
This life, this life, this life is killing me
This life, this life, this life is killing me
