Become Alive 07:06
Become alive, come alive, come alive come alive Hey Do you have some lightning in your fingertips to shock me awake? Hey If you ain't here to pick me up I'm prone to make mistakes Because I know I'm lost without you And I'll fall asleep in the street You've got energy abundant And I need you to help me Become alive No Never gone a day without the feeling that I'm gonna implode So Look up at the sky to watch a star explode Because I'm so damned lost without I'm like a dead man still on his feet If you are I near I know that I'd become alive Become alive, come alive, come alive, come alive

I came to the city not long ago a grey and frigid day when no one was around A house full of travelers the masters gone away on holiday tiptoe without a sound An unfamiliar place in winter but this room has memories I put my bag down by the photos of your father and hope I don't disturb the peace Don't let me kill your plants don't let me overstay my welcome Don't let me kill your plants let's just pretend I never came Cause I understand that this is not my home We went to the restaurants they glared at me but recognized your name they wish you all the best I walk through the empty streets No need to stop cause they all look the same so easy to forget Everywhere we go we're lonely Were there people here before? And I'm so envious that you can see your mother I think I'll just head out the door Don't let me kill your plants don't let me overstay my welcome Don't let me kill your plants let's just pretend I never came Cause I understand that this is not my home

A long day, a long drive longing to be done A done deal, a done drive you don't know when your time is up He hasn't eaten in days all of this bullshit for minimum wage How long until he gets paid? Until he can say: "I quit, I'm sick of it" Talking in his head What break? For god's sake, when he retires he'll be dead They said the job would improve he gets the feeling that he's being used What if he makes a mistake? No more can he take Like climbing up a pyramid Like climbing up a pyramid With no sight of the top He's just a slave to the king (we're all a slave to the king) but he's the builder who made everything let's drive this car through the door the boss can't ignore We're climbing up a pyramid we're climbing up a pyramid we're climbing up a pyramid And don't tell me that you're okay if you're only stressed out all day maybe it's you who's been played We're climbing up a pyramid we're climbing up a pyramid we're climbing up a pyramid no sight of the top

Runaway 05:46
I'm gonna be a runaway I'm gonna be a runaway tonight I'm gonna be a runaway I'm gonna be a runaway tonight Because the walls are crawling with the monsters that remain so out of sight I'm gonna be a runaway I'm gonna be a runaway tonight I walk in the sunny days hid when the rain comes down at night It's better if I move along it seems I'm always running out of time Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think I'll be a stowaway I think I'll be a stowaway tonight take a locomotive train going to fast to hear your last goodbyes Decide directions in due time just flee from all the things I didn't like Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A Better Man 04:52
I never told your lies I never made you cry did you? I could have slept around I could have had another lover in a different town No one said otherwise your friends convinced you that I wasn't such a reckless guy I tried to be a better man for you I tried to be a better man for you I made the plans to say that we should run away we two Your love is in the past turns out that we can't last no good I tried to be a better man for you I did the best that I could ever do And you say you need to chase the sun rays it's all you ever needed but I had no idea Sit down I can't believe you're gone now I followed the instructions but I am just a pawn to all the fates have planned I tried to be a better man for you
