Never Give In

we are here and we are aware
this game we're playing is far from fair
get a job, mature and cut your hair
proceed to live a life of mass despair
educate yourself to get good grades
call their bluff and they will say you failed
all this bullshit is getting so stale
and I don't want to hear anyone else tell me to act my age
we will never grow up
we will never grow old
we will never give in
never do what we're told
and we refuse to ever follow your mold
we will never grow up
we will never grow old
we will never give in
never do what we're told
we dont wanna be born and raised to be bought and sold
always looked down on by society
they say conform to the wage slavery
well salories don't interest me
so fuck this crime against humanity
we will never grow up
we will never grow old
we will never give in
never do what we're told
and we refuse to ever follow your mold
we will never grow up
we will never grow old
we will never give in
never do what we're told
we dont wanna be born and raised to be bought and sold
don't tell us what to do
don't tell us who to be
we will never follow you
You can try as hard as you want
but in the end you know you'll never own us

After All

About a year ago
came the time where I decided to surrender my life away.
Such a waste of space, waste of breath.
Living among the dead.
I was just disposable anyway.
And when you decided the time was right
You just threw me away.
Causing me never to sleep at night.
This unsetteling feeling
was always keeping me at bay.
From the moment you said you were leaving,
I wanted you to stay.
I was miserable for days
cause I was scared of change.
Took me this to realise
it doesn't have to be this way
And now we are
so far apart
What now?
Is this the end
or a brand new start?
And now I'm saying this
with all my heart.
Fuck you
I didn't need you after all
I never saw past these lies
Hiding behind fading eyes
Well now I've reached the end of the line
And now I'm taking back what's mine
Forgive and forget
or just live in regret?
I think I'll just just hate you instead.
Stay bitter til the very end
This unsetteling feeling
was always keeping me at bay.
From the moment you said you were leaving,
I wanted you to stay.
I was miserable for days
cause I was scared of change.
Took me this to realise
it doesn't have to be this way
And now we are
so far apart
What now?
Is this the end
or a brand new start?
And now I'm saying this
with all my heart.
Fuck you
I didn't need you after all

Ever since I was young I thought of what I wanted to become
when I grow up.
Now older, standing at the edge of it all
I'm staring at the wall
wondering where all my time has gone
can't seem to let go of the past
We are all so caught up in where we already have been
We loose controll of where we are going.
The only thing different to me
is the constant change of scenery
But some things remain
and I'm still the same.
Still going strong at this game
But when I think of what's yet to come
I'm scared of where I might end up
We must all look ahead, yet still not loose ourselves.
Live here and now, learn to embrace the present
Leave all your posessions, they don't mean a thing
Let go of this obsession, not a minute to spare, our time is fleeting.
Wooo-ooh, it is like I've said time and time again
Wooo-ooh, snap out of your head before it's all too late

Crash And Burn

Why won't he ever leave you alone?
With all of his mindless drones.
He fails everytime.
As you run for miles.
As I see you spinning 'round
Trying to stay on solid ground.
His evil plans, you always smash.
And now he only wants to see you Crash - crash and burn.
You always seem to win
yet he tries again and again.
When will he finally give in?
Well it's like I always say.
One hundred wumpas a day
Will keep the doctor away.
First he tries to take your girl And now he wants to take the world.
But the world won't let him win.
Unless he makes one little sin.
Since this battle he can't win
without the help of his so called friends.
They will vex you through out the island.
And as far as I know, it always ends up violent.
You always seem to win
yet he tries again and again.
When will he finally give in?
Well it's like I always say.
One hundred wumpas a day
Will keep the doctor away.
He wants to see you crash and burn.
Crash and burn.

Dead End
03:17
|

You've left me with such a bitter taste in my mouth.
And I can't understand how you could want out.
To think that all the while you were just wasting my time
And that every word, every breath was a lie
Please get out of my head.
You make me wish I was dead.
No matter where I turn
there's just another dead end.
Now wherever I turn I always seem to see your face
Always reminding me of our better days
And now you're gone and I never want to see you again
A broken bond. Forget you ever knew my name.
Please get out of my head.
You make me wish I was dead.
No matter where I turn
there's just another dead end.
Stuck together for so long
Never thought it would go this far
And now that it is all gone
How could you let this just fall apart?

Fade Out
03:53
|

|
You've really done it now.
You're fucked, you can't get out.
Backtrack all of your mistakes,
and you'll see that you're the one to blame.
Try to keep your head up high
Cause soon comes the tide
Then you will need to keep your head above the water
Trapped in what you created.
Hear the clock count down.
Soon you'll be gone,
And I'll just watch as you fade out.
How does it feel
to be left alone?
How does it feel
to finally face your own judgement?
How does it feel
to be left alone,
now that you can't turn back?
Soon you will be all gone.
Trapped in what you created.
Hear the clock count down.
Soon you'll be gone,
And I'll just watch as you fade out.
I will laugh in the face of your demise.
While gaising into bloodshot eyes.

Going Through

I don't know what you've been going through
I don't know the changes you have done
I can see this in your eyes, you were happy one time
I don't know what you've been going through
But to me it seems rough
You can see this in your eyes, you were happy one time
Everytime I see you coming home, you've been beaten to your bones.
How can you survive in this world, in your mind?
In your mind
Next time you come home, there will be nothing left.
I don't know what you've been going through
I don't know the changes you have done
I can see this in your eyes, you were happy one time
I don't know what you've been going through
But to me it seems rough
You can see this in your eyes, you were happy one time
(Next time you come home, there will be nothing left)
Take your life seriously, this is killing me.
Stop this madness and come home tonight.

I just can't relate
to your bad attitudes,
your pretentious ways.
Around you I always loose.
Gave it a chance,
it's all just an act.
It gave me a glance
of all I never want to be
You all preach against conformity
Yet you lack any trace of individuality
You think that you are all unique
Yet you all look the same to me
And I would rather die
than ever want to be like you
Always pretending to be
something way special,
out of the ordinary.
Well this charade
isn't fooling me.
Gave it a chance,
it's all just an act.
Been there, done it all
And now I know for a fact
You all preach against conformity
Yet you lack any trace of individuality
You think that you are all unique
Yet you all look the same to me
And I would rather die
than ever want to be like you

Make Believe

It's been a while since I've felt your precense here.
And now I hope everything's gonna be alright, now that you are here.
So look me in the eyes and tell me you don't know
What I am feeling, and please tell me that you won't go.
Please come closer and lend me your ear.
Because in this moment everything just seems so clear.
It was written in the stars, but they lie to far apart.
Sensation of floating astray as I see you far away
So now tell me was it make believe or did I loose everything
that I gave to you?
All of these memories still haunt my dreams.
I can feel them taring at the seems.
As the season is falling I see the the changing of the leafs
This feeling of sinking, a constant feeling that never leaves.
It was written in the stars, but they lie to far apart.
Sensation of floating astray as I see you far away
So now tell me was it make believe or did I loose everything
that I gave to you?

I Sacrificed my life for 8 months.
Every night, Every Day, i was by your side, telling you everything was going to be alright.
Now 8 months has passed.
now 9 months has passed.
And what have you left me with?
Regret and Anger.
Everyday i took care of you.
Everyday i made your wishes come true.
Every sunrise, every nightfall.
I became depressed.
I looked for places to rest my head.
But theres no one to blame, but me.
This is called self-abuse.
not on my body, but mentally.
This is called self-abuse.
Thats why i had to let you go.
Why don't you just fade out in my head?
'Cause you are dead to me
You fucked this up.
Mentally
I Sacrificed my life for 8 months.
Every night, Every Day, i was by your side, telling you everything was going to be alright.
Now 8 months has passed.
now 9 months has passed.
And what have you left me with?
Regret and Anger.

Make It Last

Stop wasting your life away.
Stop sleeping away the days.
You know you have bigger aspirations.
Get out there and make your name
All your excuses are fucking lame
All you need is some inspiration.
It's never too late to wake the fuck up
Earn your stories
Don't just sit on your ass
and watch the time pass.
One thing of you I ask
Chase your dreams and make it last.
You need to find your own fire.
And then even weed won't get you higher.
It doesn't matter if you should fail.
What I'm trying to say
is at the end of the day
you will have your tale to tell
Make or break, it's never to late.
Earn your stories
Don't just sit on your ass
and watch the time pass.
One thing of you I ask
Chase your dreams and make it last.
This is your life
It's do or die
You can't win this fight
If you don't even try
Earn your stories
Don't just sit on your ass
and watch the time pass.
One thing of you I ask
Chase your dreams and make it last.

What the hell is going on in my home town?
My friends has gone away and my brothers too.
My family's full of shit and i'm done with them.
I got nothing left to do but just to sit here, in my room.
Last fall something happened, that scared everyone away.
Now i'm doing my homework, so i can get away.
My daily routine has turned on manual and its gonna stay the same for three of five years now.
Im getting tired of being alone.
I want to run away from this life.
