Welcome To Our Mess

Control C, control V
this is me, doing my homework
conrol C, control V
this is me, ruining my life.
Control Z, control Z
I wish I could undo so many things
control D (THE), control N (END)
I wish I could start over again.

Devolution
01:55

Drop the glass, crash the car
put your ear on the wall
hear the punches, your neighbour is
trying to break his own home DOWN.
DOWN!
Ask the old man what happened to make
the world such an unfriendly place
ask the monkey how come evolution
has made it's behaviour nobler than ours.
Scream for a wish, cry for a dream
it's all you can do in an unfair world
if you cannot have this new found girl
grab a knife and stab it in her brain.
Bury the sun and revive the moon
when violence rises all around you
abandon reason, cut the thread
and mix together the fury and regret.
Watch the red moon
now you're just another one
of those who cry
in the eyes of a judge.
YOU GOTTA SHARE
THE WEIGHT OF RAGE
IN A STRANGER'S HEART.

Good Sight
02:29
|

I was walking in the subway
my pink satchel on my back
when some ugly fellows came in through the doors.
One of them came straight at me
and pushed me accidentally
but I don't believe in accidents no more.
So I turned around and saw
my fucking wallet in his hands
I took a breath and thought
"no one's gonna fuck with me today"
(no one's gonna fuck with me today)
I shouted HEY (HEY)
no you aren't
taking that away (HEY)
I'm short but I am mad
so bring it on mate
show me what you got.
And all that little piece of shit could do
was telling me "good sight, man"
then gave it back and let me through
it left the stupidest expression on my face
what kind of world do we live in?
(what kind of world do we live in?)
If dogs and sharks won't bite
if nothing's worth the fight
if they won't even beat you up to take your cash
you know that something isn't right (something isn't right).
That little piece of shit could only say "good sight"
fuck this shit man, this world should fucking die.

We Are Water

I've seen a place where rats get trained
and people get depressed
for a tiny bruise or a broken nail
about as wretched as it gets.
Talking about their pathetic lives
sitting around and rolling some smokes
to make their lungs as fucking dirty
as the inside of their heads.
We are water and we'll wash your brains
Freud and Pavlov will clean up this shit
with nothing more but a mop and a brush
it's a tough chore to be struggling with.
We are water and we'll wash your brains
Freud and Pavlov will clean up this shit
but if they fail then Nero will
burn all the people in the pit.
But psychology won't fail if you all die right now
cause the hardest way to fix someone is opening your mouth
and I really wonder what's wrong with your ears
when I see you listen but you don't seem to hear.
(IT'S TIME) to open your ears
(IT'S TIME) to open your minds
YOU FATUOUS LITTLE RETARDS
WE
ARE
WATER
BURN THE PIT
WE ARE WATER
WE ARE WATER
WE ARE WATER
We are water and we'll wash your brains
Freud and Pavlov will clean up this shit
with nothing more but a mop and a brush
it's a tough chore to be struggling with.
We are water and we'll wash your brains
Freud and Pavlov will clean up this shit
but if they fail then Nero will burn all the people
around the water
and the pit.
Nero, please come
and burn this sin town down
don't let the world fall
into the arms of these ones.

The Last View
02:48
|

No need to watch the news at eight
to know the weather for today
this is the coldest winter ever.
I always end up losing heat
comparing these days
to the same ones of last year.
"Dreams are for free" the wise men say
but waking up is the highest price
I've ever had to pay.
What's good is good, that's true
but now it's all reversed
and I am through with you
always twisting up,
sticking new knives in a closing wound.
Keep your fickle words
frail buildings collapsing
flat-out on my head
your lack of integrity
is a weight I no longer share.
Remember this view:
me, free of your choking tentacles.
Remember this view:
you, falling of your pedestal.
Remember this view:
me, free of your choking tentacles.
Remember this view:
you, falling of your pedestal.
REMEMBER THIS VIEW!
No need to watch the news at eight
to know that this could only end
with a "good bye forever,
you're the same as everyone else."

The Promise
03:39
|

So full of doubts, wake up and try
to extend your life one day
they won't let you be a part of the herd
hang on, be strong, true to yourself
don't let yourself be just a part of the herd.
And when the waves of insecurity
float around your neck, behind your ears
ignore their call, just do your best
to make your own decisions rest
upon decisiveness.
You should've known, in one day
you could change your fate
that bitterness inside you
instead of that great taste
instead of your life
you're doing what they expected.
Look at the sky
armies of sparrows
looking back at you from the wires
with worn-out claws and shattered beaks
but with the strength to still fight for their seeds.
Now lower your head
look here below
don't let the ugly landscape get you trapped
those fancy cars will become scrap
but with these three bricks we can build a stronghold now.
You should've known, in one day
you could change your fate
that bitterness inside you
instead of that great taste
instead of your life
you're doing what they expected.
So now you know that today
you control your fate
it's bittersweet inside you
instead of going with the waves
instead of on a dice
you're trusting your life on a promise.
Don't wait for time to let you know
what you should have done
let's show the world why you were born
insecurities just block your road.
It's in your hand, in your blood flow (one by one)
it's a reason of your own (raise your hands and sing along)
let's show ourselves the way out of the door (all as one)
set priorities and stay strong.
RAISE YOUR HANDS AND SING ALONG!
Raise your voice, raise your head up
grab my hand, you're not alone.

Re-Burn

There's much inside but I don't seem to know
how to let it out, I thought I would
but words and thoughts just wouldn't match.
And I don't care if I will ever write
a song that you could feel, it's my own fight
just me against myself, last man standing wins.
So here I am, just look at me
and listen close cause I'm finally
Finding the rhythms to let these feelings go
feeling the words and just bursting into song
shouting away every little piece of hate
or faithlessness, what saves me from myself is
Finding the rhythms to let these feelings go
feeling the words and just bursting into song
shouting away every little piece of hate
or faithlessness, now your only chance is going down.
Waking up and feeling like I was
back to my toughest days, anxiety I thought would never
catch up to me again.
A different place in a different time
the same old need of understanding why
a different you, a different me
and even though it does not change a thing.
I'm standing here, a ball of flames
burning the strongest right before I faint and
Finding the rhythms to let these feelings go
feeling the words and just bursting into song
shouting away every little piece of hate
or faithlessness, what saves me from myself is
Finding the rhythms to let these feelings go
feeling the words and just bursting into song
shouting away every little piece of hate
or faithlessness, hide my fear but it's still right behind.
Catching up, it's catching up
it's catching up to me again
fight your battles, scream your thoughts
your life is not attached to fate.
Catching up, it's catching up
it's catching up to me again
learn the lesson, know the road
this life is not to be forfeit.

Gainesville Awaits Us
03:52
|

These coming months will be the hardest of our lives
when something gets so fucking hard
you know it's gonna be worthwhile
But don't misunderstand me
these times are what we're living for
it's in our blood, our DNA contains the will to go abroad.
Over the ocean, into the sinking state
Let's go, let's go, Gainesville awaits
Over the ocean, into our best three nights and days
Let's go, let's go, our future memories await.
We're dumb and broke, yet we are stoked
we're nothing less, we're nothing more
than all this passion cause we know
it's what we're living for.
We're dumb and broke, yet we are stoked
we're nothing less, we're nothing more
than all this passion cause we know
Gainesville awaits us.
Over the ocean, into the sinking state
Let's go, let's go, Gainesville awaits
Over the ocean, into our best three nights and days
Let's go, let's go, we owe it to ourselves.
For once in our miserable lives
let's not disappoint our faith
the shitty jobs, the family fights
planning all this through sleepless nights
oh no, we cannot fail this time.
And when it seems we're falling
we're gonna get back up in style
cause all these nerves and all this waiting
all the burocracy and money saving
it's gonna be worthwhile.
GAINESVILLE AWAITS US!
Let's not disappoint
Gainesville awaits us.

11 Beers

Cheap beer in the bar
cheap beer in my dreams
cheap beer at the edge of my lips.
From a bottle or a can
drink as much as you can
until you forget all your promises unkept.
You swore to be someone
and there's still so much to be done
but first open the fridge and get a
Beer, you never let us down you make us laugh
as if our lives were not as goddamn sad
no work, no cash, no sex, no fans
and in our happy beer-soaked nights
you're the yellow spot on our pants.
Cheap beer in the bar
cheap beer in my dreams
cheap beer at the edge of my lips.
Blonde or dark, who really cares?
just take the cheapest you can get
the taste won't matter when you
lie blind-drunk in your bed.
One beer cools you down
two beers make you smile
three, four, five, six
your head starts spinning around
seven beers, still doing fine?
eight beers, try to walk the line
nine, ten, tw...
Beer, you never let us down you make us laugh
as if our lives were not as goddamn sad
no work, no cash, no sex, no fans
and in our happy beer-soaked nights
you make life worth the fight.
Beer, you never let us down you make us laugh
as if our lives were not as goddamn sad
no work, no cash, no sex, no fans
and in my mother-in-law's house
only you make time pass.
Beer!

We are here, defeated
our minds couldn't win this round
we couldn't pull this off
our lack of talent knocked us out
and we are listening to a Jawbreaker song
I think our ears don't deserve it, no!
Here you have a sucker writing these verses in his chair
while smoking some vases with the taste of defeat
his mate is KO in bed, embracing hard a teddy bear
so if you are listening to this song
this is the sound of two losers.
This is the taste of being damned (of being damned)
blocked minds and frozen brains (and frozen brains)
a sense of being lost and nothing more (there's nothing more)
Blake should come and break our fucking jaws!
Here you have a sucker writing these verses in his chair
while smoking some vases with the taste of defeat
his mate is KO in bed, embracing hard a teddy bear
either genius or apathy has led us to this song.
Well, you like it? No.
Does it sound good? No, not at all.
Our generation cannot be saved
and this is what the famous lyrics should've said:
This band must be gone
two can become no one
we were born to lose
we could be the worst.
Here you have a sucker writing these verses in his chair
while smoking some vases with the taste of defeat
his mate is KO in bed, embracing hard a teddy bear
he must be dreaming of leaving this band.

Is it really air we're breathing?
cause it tastes more like regret
growing older but never growing up
along with every tired breath.
So why take care of our lungs
if we're already at our last gasp?
let's not watch the days pass by
from behind this suffocating mask.
It may be common but it's odd as hell
this broken symmetry
to look into a mirror and not recognise
the one staring back at me.
Way too much thinking
when all we need is a place in a new land
where unlike in this world
decision and decisiveness go always hand in hand.
THESE ARE THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES
IF YOU BELIEVE THIS, SING IT LOUD
THESE ARE THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES
LET'S NOT DROWN THEM IN OUR DOUBTS!

What a way to start a year
all has changed but it's so familiar
the same old fears
(but it's not a sign of fear to start looking away).
Are you surprised to find
I'm so much stronger now
much more stable on my own?
well I am (and you never thought you'd be a burden to me).
Stop staring, don't you get it?
I'm trying hard to avoid your eyes
no matter how hard I try
can't help looking for what I used to find.
(I'll just look away).
What a way to start an end
to tell yourself it never really started
but you may be right
(I give you that, you give me back my peace).
Enjoy today but your past is there
you will never escape so now it is my turn
to haunt you
(I'm en route to Calmness, I just ask you to).
Stop staring, don't you get it?
I'm trying hard to avoid your eyes
can't help it, looking for what
I will never find again inside them.
Stop staring, don't you get it?
I'm trying hard to avoid your eyes
no matter how hard I try
can't help looking for what I used to find.
I'll just look away.
Just look away (AWAY)
away (AWAY)
look inside myself
so much more to find
than in your eyes.
All I ever wanted, all I ever sought
was right here with me all along.
All I ever wasted, all I ever lost
is just the cold breath of a ghost.
