EMPTY HEARTS
So tell me motherfucker, who the fuck are you?
I’m not listening anymore
To the shit you’re spitting out.
I swear I’ll start this war.
I used to be your vault of secrets and lies
I used to be that special guy
But who knew distance would tear us apart
You always were a sucker for attention.
I don’t give a fuck
You made your decision when you turned your back on me
You reap what you sow
Empty hearts (x3)
I told you before I don’t care (x2)
You must have confused me with someone who give a fuck.
You lost your dignity. I lost my respect.
All I could give was love. You took the rest.
You reap what you sow
Empty hearts (x3)

Our Only Weapon

OUR ONLY WEAPON
I guess it’s safe to say that we do not live in a perfect world
But each man must learn to make his own way.
We learn to live, we learn to love, we learn how to fight.
All in all, we’re stuck in a struggle to survive.
There is no place for individuals.
Personality doesn’t matter no more.
Still we must find the challenge in being who we are
And learn to fly high.
It’s our only weapon (x2).
I guess Darwin was right.
Those who are weak won’t survive.
Still we must find the challenge in being who we are
And learn to fly high.
It’s our only weapon (x2).

ISLAND OF DISREPAIR
It’s time to say goodbye. Never look back.
This chapter’s ending. It’s the end of an era.
Time to say goodbye to this safe harbor.
And set sail for the dark deep blue.
Never knowing what this journey might bring, but I need to make this jump to be honest to myself.
How can you float to the other side if you don’t have a ship to stand on.
Destined for now to stay on the island of disrepair.
There will be a day that I’ll find the wood I need.
But for now it’s time to take shelter.
From the storm that will come because all I see are black clouds packed with rain waiting to fall.
People say stand strong and don’t give up.
Easy to say when there ain’t a sun to shine.
How can you float to the other side if you don’t have a ship to stand on.
Destined for now to stay on the island of disrepair.
There will be a day that I’ll find the wood I need.
But for now it’s time to take shelter.

Have you ever stared in the mirror hating the man staring back at you?
Well I know the feeling.
Yet I want to change but I don’t have the strength
I don’t know where to begin.
I said I want to change but I don’t have the strength
I don’t know where to begin.
Enough was not enough ‘cause I crossed that bridge a long time ago.
And I’m not the person to ask for help, ‘cause I’m ashamed of how far it has come.
So I’ll bottle it all up but still I
Still I want to change but I don’t have the strength
I don’t know where to begin.
I said I want to change but I don’t have the strength
I don’t know where to begin.
I should take this step by step but something is weighing me down.
And I know how the fuck you feel.
And you know how the fuck I feel.
It all starts within yourself (x2)
We should take this step by step.
And we should toss of the weight
And choose a higher path for ourselves (x2)
We could be in this together.
Stay strong and provide strength.
Because know
We are about to change ‘cause we have found the strength
So let the journey begin.
I should take this step by step
But something is weighing me down (x2)
So let the journey
Begin.

CROSSROADS
Here I stand at the crossroads.
Make the decision which road to take.
But where the fuck am I, I’ve never been here before.
This road should feel familiar, yet I don’t feel like home.
Choose now!
There’s no time to be waiting.
This path I take will no longer hold my feet.
This safe road is falling apart in a thousand pieces.
Searching for a branch to keep my head up high.
Which road should I take, both roads are dark and frightening.
If there’s someone above, save me from this dark days.
And help me find myself again.
My head is full yet I block everything.
For a single moment I hear silence around me.
And then I hear a thousand voices.
So here I stand looking back at the crossroads.
Laying my faith in the hands of a higher power.
With these bricks I’ll rebuild the foundation of my future me
Because time heals everything.
I’ll become stronger than before.
We’ll see which road that I’ve embarked.
So here I stand looking back at the gap behind me.
With these bricks I’ll rebuild the foundation
Because time heals everything and carry on.

NONE BUT THE BRAVE
Should we take the easy road?
No.
This walk, I will do this on my own.
Word for word, I’ll write my future.
I know what I’m aiming for.
Where there’s a will there is a way but only time will tell
It was the right way to take.
Put your best foot forward, don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
But pull yourself up, don’t let your head down.
Mistakes need to be made.
Where losers give up, that’s where winners set through.
Once you’ve made these mistakes you will know what to do.
A setback should not force someone to give up there ideals.
None but the brave deserve the fair.
Nothing’s for free.
We all must fall just to learn how to pick us up.
Misfortunes are a part of life, a bridge we all must cross.
Don’t let this fear stop you to seize the odds.
Actions speak louder than words, it’s what you do that defines you.
I will do this on my own.
Word for word, I’ll write my future.
I know what I’m aiming for.
Where there’s a will there is a way but only time will tell
It was the right way to take.
Sometimes it’s easy to look around and take the easy road.
But I’m not taking them, no.
My actions speak louder than your useless words.
This walk, I will do this on my own.
Word for word, I’ll write my future.
I know what I’m aiming for.
Where there’s a will there is a way but only time will tell
It was the right way to take.
So put your best foot forward. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
We all make mistakes. But pull yourself up.
Don’t let your head down. Mistakes need to be made.
None but the brave deserve the fair.
None but the brave.
We are the brave.
