Catch Him! 03:04
You may think there’s something going in his head when he licks his lips like strawberry ice-cream but there ain’t no getting through he doesn’t have a clue on why others keep saying Catch him! He quivered when the spotlight pointed at his face surely she has his heart in a silver cage but without signs nothing is sure she neither has a clue what’s the game they’re playing? Finally he calmed down when the curtains closed better left unsaid than make it worse cause if he doesn’t know how to play his hand It’s slightly easier to pretend than to bring out the truth It’s slightly easier to pretend than to bring out the truth

Collapse 02:06
I also met the shaman in fact we started a trip together the eye of the tiger was our only guide and I felt safe and sound while the reality collapse His voice said Open your mind His voice said Open your mind You've come just to get high but I will dig in your head you will only remember (open your mind) your name Colours and noises and blurry faces The eye of the tiger was my only guide and I felt safe and sound while the reality collapse Only the sound of whispers through the fire the healing sound of a repeating mantra the stream of the river resounds like a drum gave him the chance to play with me like a fool I've come just to get high I'm not looking for an answer I don’t want a simple trick to clarify my mind Colours and noises and blurry faces The eye of the tiger was my only guide and I felt safe and sound while the reality collapse

Submissive 02:03
Teach me the way you love and show me what you got I didn’t come here just for the theory Spit it out give it to me It’s not an effort I’m submissive now you can tell everybody How… Strong and powerful you are You need someone telling you how good you are You need someone licking shit under your boots You need someone telling you how big you are While you go outside showing your best look Smile, smile please, smile

Breathe 02:24
You’re supposed to be happy you’re supposed to be kind but in some situations, I don’t know how to act Just tell me what you want I’ll try to give you a bite I’ll try to be a gentlewoman like your mother likes There’s no better place to be like my bed no better company than myself ahh ahh ahh I’m ok with myself ahh ahh ahh I’m ok with myself By hook or by crook you will learn how to deal with all your problems how to cope with your fears ahhhh to cope with your fears ahhhh to cope with your fears But now you are a grown up But now you are a grown up You have to pay your bills Not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess now I can breathe Not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess now I can breathe

Our wishes came true you choked and I got burnt and when I got up to call the nurse there was nothing else for us to do It can hurt to hear the truth but if there’s no spark, what can we do? it’s just a matter of time till we fall and break apart Why don’t we turn the page? Why do we stand on the edge? Is this what you call love? We are at the limits of the sickness and I’m looking forward to start it again Worn out at the limits of the sickness and I’m looking forward to start it again

Where can I find what I’ve been looking for all my life what if is this a lie or a puzzle of the mind How will I know? And now that the lights are out I can’t hardly stand still when all around me becomes a fog and I’m trying hard to keep it real I see my life, flash before my eyes I see my life, flash before my eyes I’m standing on my head while I’m standing on my feet and you’re willing to fly tonight so come here and make me feel I see my life, flash before my eyes I see my life, flash before my eyes

5 minutes is what I had at first 4 minutes to take him for a spin 3 minutes till we got back home 2 seconds lasted our bitter kiss And the sky shone with its own lights but his blindness didn’t let him see that perfect setting for a perfect crime love makes you blind, won’t let you see Nobody heard him falling down too much at stake no time to think Nobody heard him falling down too much at stake no time to think

Howl & Roll 03:02
On a starless night I came across a crooked smile he was the kingpin of a gang or what you’d call it scum And what he said to me, was Babe please don’t make it harder cause you are all for me you are the dope that I need I kept him on a tight leash I won his heart on the Penny Pitch but he wasn’t what I need he was sharp as a whip And on a full moon night I heard a howl cross the sky showed up that crooked smile and that hairy creature took me down Don’t fight back, keep cool, there’s still hope for you Don’t fight back, keep cool, there’s still hope for you Caught up in a room I stayed until they made me one of them soon we got a worldwide fame and now we do no good Don’t fight back, keep cool, there’s still hope for you Don’t fight back, keep cool, there’s still hope for you

Decayed and alone living on his own staying on the sidelines where he finds his piece of joy And if everyone believes he’s drowning in a blue sea please don’t get it wrong cause he’s happy not to be like them They followed him and spied her moves and note him in the database cause he was the last remaining case the memory of the old world Like and endangered animal who lost his art of murder they insisted to death with their catchy saying Take the pill of happiness and enjoy your glory days Take the pill of happiness and draw a smile in your face Sex will be better and work less complicated Please take the pill, oh take the pill, please take the pill Let him remain free outside this prison without walls not everyone falls into your hypnotic spells A camouflaged slavery looking as godly creatures but what’s the point if you can’t enter my head

Come Slowly 04:19
I think I’ve been waiting for this too long I think you took too much time to come following my trail to find me looking for the way to call me I see you from the other side of the room staring at your prey like a wild feline if I’m another night trophy I can tell tonight you got me, you got me I skipped to read between lines as soon as your skin was in sight there’s no imperfection when your screams are getting louder, louder… Come, slow, come slowly to my room you know where it is Come, slow, come slowly to my room and tell me what’s going on? what’s going on what’s going on? … I skipped to read between lines as soon as your skin was in sight there’s no imperfection when your screams are getting louder, louder… And when the night is coming I can feel I'm floating while I’m just waiting for the hour
