Numb 03:22
Don’t Want to make no decision Can Neither stop now nor keep going on aha I trap myself in my own contradictions Better slow it down or numb my emotions aha It’s getting late And I can’t close My Eyes It’s getting late and I can’t sleep tonight… I can’t sleep tonight My Mind’s chaos and confusion But no-one seems to care, just another big illusion aha Wish I could fall into oblivion Feel anything at all, let my life in suspension It’s getting late And I can’t close My Eyes It’s getting late and I can’t sleep tonight… I can’t sleep tonight

There’s no point in wasting your time You can pack your things up and leave your keys on the door I know I ain’t got much to give That you have not already taken Got something fucked up deep inside My head’s in pain, it feels I am falling all apart I’m damaged way beyond repair, trying to stitch the pieces of my heart *** I knew it all right from the start Sooner or later, you could only break my heart I know you think I’m not that smart But I am hurt, and I won’t even say goodbye How could I? I would rather die *** There’s no point in wasting your time You ‘ve got a heart of stone, I know your tricks I know them all And please don’t say you’re sorry cause Oh I just see you’re not Got something fucked up deep inside My head’s in pain, it feels I am falling all apart I’m damaged way beyond repair, trying to stitch the pieces of my heart *** I knew it all right from the start Sooner or later, you could only break my heart I know you think I’m not that smart But I am hurt, and I won’t even say goodbye How could I? I would rather die ***

Whispering your name on a long distance call conversation late at night Under a sparkling summer night sky, I was starting to feel real sad I'm drifting away floating under the milky way I'm drifting away I'm trying to find some place to stay Whispering again on a long distance call conversation I was not alright Was feeling kinda low, no one's around just to hear me cry I'm drifting away floating under the milky way I'm drifting away I'm trying to find some place to hide away

D.I.Y. Now! 02:32
Better do it yourself Now, Man You’ve got to do it right Cause nothing cool will come off the shelf Better do it yourself Now, Man you’ve got to do it right Don’t leave it to anyone else *** That shit they play on the radios Their Lousy TV shows Junk food news, breaking headlines How far do you think they’ll go? x3 *** Better do it yourself Now, Man You’ve got to do it right Cause nothing cool will come off the shelf Better do it yourself Now, Man you’ve got to do it right Don’t leave it to anyone else *** Lolcats clashes and haters Hoaxes, fake news making buzz Oh boy now it’s gone viral How further can we go? x3 *** Do it yourself now, do it yourself now, do it yourself now! Do it now! x6

I was taught What is given can’t be taken back You might get lost if you step of the track I was taught Be prepared for the worst, Soon it might get out of wack Don’t forget to watch behind your back Don’t believe what people say Be yourself don’t be afraid Just follow your own way Come what May x4 I was taught What is given can’t be taken back You might get lost if you step of the track I was taught You’re not special you’re just following the pack If you look closer you might see the cracks Don’t believe what people say Be yourself don’t be afraid Just follow your own way Come what May x8

C'mon Kids 02:26
C'mon kids don't do yourself down Throw out your arms for a new sound Pretty face it don't mean a thing If you look so same as your crowd I know it's hard to do But have we ever let you down C'mon kids Work all day it don't mean a thing With the sun always outside your window Fuck the ones who tell you that life Is merely a time before dying I know it's hard to do But have we ever let you down C'mon kids Look for the box and find what's inside You'll never find it till you have done And fuck the ones who tell you that life Is merely a time before dying I know it's hard to do But have we ever let you down C'mon kids

Lost & Found 02:50
Caught up in a game Not of my own, I’m trying to play by the rules just like everyone Feeling a little lost, Some kind of alone Trying ginf a piece of mind in the lost and found *** Give me a little kindness Just a little tenderness Help me just hold on Help me just hold on *** Caught up in a bad dream You were gone, I was falling in the cold void of the great unknown Feeling a little lost, Standing on my own Watching time pass me by through the window blind *** Give me a little kindness Just a little tenderness Help me just hold on Help me just hold on Help me just hold on Help me just hold on

Give me a second I need to think it over Just want to hold your hand Before it all Gets Over Before It All Gets Over Before It All Gets Over Give me a second Don’t say Hello to never Just want a Happy End Before it all gets over Before it all gets over Before it all gets over
