Only Die Once

You only die once, Make it a good one
It’s not how you go, It’s what you leave behind
You only die once, Give it a good run
Don’t let go, Keep it all aligned
But I can’t go out like this
I wanna die a hero
Now let me save your life
This one time
Today I tried to live, Give it another stab
Wont let tomorrows kill me in the night
Shooting into space, Staring at ground zero
Following the light, kiss the world goodbye
But I can’t go out like this
I wanna die a hero
Now let me save your life
this one time tonight
And I’m remiss, I feel like a zero
Now let me save your life, one last time

Trust Is My Anchor

Trust is my anchor
Fear is a reason for me to stay
where I am on my knees, but I´m safe
from the unknown before me
Time is a never connecting line
there´s a point where I make up my mind
but I´ll never feel safe there, now
Show me how
Hey don't you wanna know I´m out of my mind
don't you wanna know I´m crying inside
though my hope is my power plan
and my trust is my anchor
Friends is a well known experience
but it comes to a point where it ends
if we try to be naked
Sad but the truth is so rarely said
it´s a secret inside ones head
and the words are unspoken ´till
they burst out loud
Hey don't you wanna know.................
Time is a fact if you look at my lines
it´s a very confusing sign
but I welcome the knowledge
Power is a pearl I keep in my hand
it´s a gift I don't quite understand
but I desperately need it now
to cry out loud
Hey don't you wanna know.................
Hey I Thought you might wanna know
why I´m crying inside
cause the world is a carousel and some day you might need an anchor
Love is a reason for me to live
but it seems like it´s never around
when I desperately need it

Take My Heart And Go
03:34

Take my heart and go
She turns the room into a party
She takes you worries and your coat
She makes the drinks for all the angels
She holds the door and cracks a joke
and I could just take my heart and go
that would solve a thousand problems
cause we both already know
that it's too much hurt to hold
and I could just take my heart and….
It does me no good to remember
When you blew kisses meant for me
You’ve done the best you’ve got it covered
But I’m the secret that you keep
and I could just take my heart and go………..
Here comes the Million dollar question
and we both act like we don’t care
and stay on both sides of a story:
Who wants to be a millionaire ?
and I could just take my heart and go………..

Another Way Of Leaving

Another Way Of Leaving
Tonight we took the time
Got lost for words in silence
Your eyes reveal it all
We live, we love, we fall
Just another thought of leaving
Just another mad escape
Just another way of saying
That we left it all too late
Just another word for losing
Just another feint attack
Just another lie to tell you
While I stab you in the back
and I returned the ball
In drunken desperation
The anger took control
though I concealed it all
Just another way of leaving
Just another great escape
Just another way of saying
That we left it all too late
Just another word for losing
Just another fake attack
Just another tie to hold you
While I catch my breath
And stab you in the back
I played every card I had
But some games ain’t meant to last
When you carry the weight of your world on your shoulder -it’s over
Could have spent more time on us
But sometimes that ain’t enough
When the truth comes tumbling down upon you
As a breakthrough you know it too

Unchanged
03:36

Plenty more ways to tie a shoe
If you want a ride you gotta get one too
Postman came and missed the call
Always knew he’s gonna get one over you
If you wanna leave the way that you came
You gotta live your life unchanged
Crow flew over the barn today
I want a piece and someone’s got to pay
No use making an empty bed
Spend my time throwing stones instead
If you wanna leave the way that you came
You gotta live your life unchanged
You want change but you don’t wanna change (x 4)
Still keep thinkin’ about yesterday
Run around circles
Running out of things to say
Used to be a time when we had it all
When you loose your grace
You find another place to fall
If you wanna leave the way that you came
You gotta live your life unchanged
If you want more and more and more and more of the same
You gotta live your life and change
You want change but you don’t wanna change……

And She's There
03:06
|

And she's there
I see her every day
she's just a friend
although
she's more in every way
-it's time to tell her
I'd hate to break the bond
our friendship could be lost
but none of us can tell
before it happens
And she's there with someone dancing a secret dance with me
And she's there with someone who´s cut right through our secrecy
Yes she's there with someone someone that could be me
I'm not too dumb to see
she's waiting for my move
I'm not too blind to feel
There’s something special
But how am I too know
and what am I to do
and who am I to be
if I don't do it
And she's there with someone...........
I lost my chance to see
a daybreak from her bed
I lost a friend as well
though nothing ever happened
She's still there.....

Looking back for something new
Say, say we never met
Say it was much easier to forget
But you’re here again and you’re lying in my bed
You’ll disappear again before I know I need you
Oh why, why do I keep on looking back for something new
When I just can’t I love you the way I used to do
Stay, Stay is all I wish that I could say
Stay although I want you to go away
But we’re here right now and there’s no holding back
The fear is gone until the break of dawn
Oh why, why do I keep on looking back for something new
When I just can’t I love you the way I used to do
Blind, blinded by the mirrors in your eyes
Find, find a well known comfort in the night
And run, hide behind the curtains from the sun
Done, done is done and we will overcome
But I’m here right now naked and confused
And you are gone, before I even noticed
That I, I just keep on looking back for something new
Oh why, Why can’t I love you the way I used to do,
Oh why why do I keep on looking back for something new
When I just can’t love you the way I used to do,
I used to do, I used to do

Run

Run
You never say what you really mean
You leave me here somewhere in between
Tried to read vibes today, Just wanna know if you’re ok
Never seem to make it through
Walking on egg shells
Did I get the question wrong, did you hear where I came from
Trying not to force your hand, Make up your mind now or
Run run if it makes you, Yeah Run
Go where it takes you
Whatcha gonna do to break the ice ?
I need to say how I really feel
but you leave me wondering if you ever will
Am I chasing dreams away when I watch the edges fray
Are we closer to the end, Walking on egg shells
What I'd really like to do is sit right down and tell the truth
but if you wanna up and go know it’s forever so
Run run if it makes you, Yeah Run
Go where it takes you
Whatcha gonna do to break the ice ?

Dangerzone
Lay my head to rest
wake me with the fuzz of life
line me up with something so I stay
Chain me to the bar
fill my empty hand with life
Just another kick before I go
And they said: Have you already had enough
And they said: Have you already lost control
And they said: Won't you stay another round
in the dangerzone
Place me by the door
open air is all I need
Fill my head with something I don't care
Tell me when to laugh
correct me when I'm wrong, and then
drag me out before I fall apart
And they said.................
Head against the wall
focusing on empty cabs
take me home my friend before I die
Some familiar street
leads me to a well-known place
I crawl my way to sleep behind the door
And they said: Have you already had enough
And they said: Have you already lost control
And they said: Won't you stay another round
Now you're all alone
with a long way home
in the dangerzone

I Carry My Cross
05:57
|

I carry my cross through thick and thin
In stormy weather I don’t give in
Come rain, come shine, Come hurricane
I don’t give a toss -I carry my cross
I carry my cross for all my sins
The wood is raw against my skin
My aching back is giving in
But don’t make a fuzz, I carry my cross
I carry my cross and walk by foot
My thoughts are dark behind my hood
To show the world I’m misunderstood
To further my cause, I carry my cross
I carry my cross with bruised up shins
I kick myself what could have been
My crown of thorns is diggin’ in
Yeah thanks to us I carry my cross
My hands are tied, I can’t let go
This is my life for all I know
it’s all I give it’s all I got
Know who’s the boss - I carry my cross
I carry my cross for you and me
For all that we refuse to see
and for our pride and big mistakes
and for our loss I carry my cross
SOLO
I carry my cross a second skin
To get my way, to get my win
I stand outside looking in
Not one of us -I carry my cross
I stand my ground so stubbornly
My heels dug in you can’t move me
And there goes love, and there goes trust
and that’s my loss –I carry my cross
I carry my cross for all to see
My wounded soul my haunted me
My miserable life and low self-esteem
too hard to suss -I carry my cross
And just when you think I’m back for good
I play the flush, and carry my cross
