[instrumental]

Breath in
Breath out
You had your shot you blew it all
Right now
Dead end
Your rescue team is miles away

Breath in
Breath out
You had your shot you blew it all
Right now
Dead end
Your rescue team is miles away

People talk behind your back
An idol who's become a clown
Those you despise
Those you never count
They cheered you while you crashed

Chasing your dreams
Paying your bills
Here you go again
'til the next time you are around
No it's not a shame to be a family man
To be a family man

Stand still
Slow down
You had your shot you blew it all
Right now
Dead end
Your rescue team is miles away

Poor boy
Blank heart
How shallow can it get?
Stand still
Slow down
Where else can you go?

Chasing your dreams
Paying your bills
Here you go again
'til the next time you are around
No it's not a shame to be a family man
To be a family man
Family man

We're like the weather
You can't predict it
We never tick with the time
Heavy shackles
We can't move freely
We're leaving trails on the ground

It's too late so why pray now?
You cynical bastard
They all ate from your plate so how
How was your ride?

Frozen moments
Your shadow's army
Will always give the command
You won't get better
Just string along
Until the curtain goes down

It's too late so why pray now?
You cynical bastard
They all ate from your plate so how
How was your ride?

You're walking on a cloud
Inhale the perfect air
When I'm dragging all the fire
But we'll never be apart

You're traveling around
I'm bleeding on the ground
It's just another day
But we'll never be apart

We'll never be apart

You harvest all your luck
I'm in a paranoid attack
Shivering inside
But we'll never be apart

You're juggling your guitar
Your crowd wants some more
While they breaking through my door
But we'll never be apart

We'll never be apart

Now music turns to blast
I saw every thing collapse
So I'll think of you
And we'll never be apart

We'll never be apart

You were born in the shade
Beautiful and pale
Your Dad was always away
You gave birth in July
Since then my baby and I
Well we hide away

Sorrys
Seven years of sorrys
I was trying to catch your eye
Rolling down to the river you are caught in
I saw you flowing
And couldn't swim back

On Elis Island's ferry
It was too cold and shady
He thought he saw you waving
I guess he wasn't ready
To be raised by someone unhappy
I took all the pain for him

Sorrys
Seven years of sorrys
I was trying to catch your eye
Rolling down to the river you are caught in
I saw you flowing
And couldn't swim back

You were born in the shade
Beautiful and pale
Your Dad was always away

Life is an ocean
You've got to swim
Your eyes get salty
As you dive deep

No clear through water (goodbye)
Muddy bottom (goodbye)
No life jacket (goodbye)
Far away (goodbye)

Life is an ocean..

Lately there's no one on your side
It's a shame, it's a shame you've lost your magic touch
You feel unhappy, there are shadows more than light
You can't think right, you're losing fights and taking one step back

You're losing grip and bleeding now
All your high hopes fall apart and you're the one to blame
You're trying to make it through the night
But the creatures crawl and get you down
There's no get away

Lately you're dancing with your lies
No one cares, no one dares to stare you in the eyes
You're thinking maybe it's just a phase you'll past
As you're standing in this empty hole you call a life

Everywhere I go all I find is shadows
Everywhere I go all I find is shadows of me

You're losing grip and bleeding now
All your high hopes fall apart and you're the one to blame
You're trying to make it through the night
But the creatures crawl and get you down
There's no get away

My happiness is buried in the sand
In the backyard of my life I can't remember where
Think it was October's rain that watched me cry
No one else was around
My happiness

Diving to the bottom of the sea
To find the wild white pearls which hide from me
But only empty shells were lying there
Like my happiness
My happiness

And when you see me running
Don't assume I'm running to somewhere I belong
And when you see me crying don't feel sorry for me

My happiness is a like a snake
Slides below the wooden floor
To the darkest place
And just sits and waits 'til no one's there
Just like my happiness
My happiness

And when I see you smiling
I come to you I'm trying
To steal your smile for me
I hate you when you're glowing
The way you're walking between my tears
So when you see me running
Don't assume I'm running to somewhere I belong
And when you see me crying
Don't feel sorry for me

So when I die and October comes
And the leaves stop falling down upon the ground
And when the rain will stop you can be sure
I found my happiness

Hold me back and never let go
There's a jackal who growls in the cold
Don't you trust a man with songs
I've gotta find a place of my own

I would say every word you can take
There's a jackal who growls in the cold
Any bed can keep my body warm
I've gotta find a place of my own

Sometimes you need someone to take away your pain
When you're falling down you're looking up for help

I've got to go to the valley below
Untraceable, no one can reach
You should stay on this wide open road
On the wayside lay all your dead dreams

Sometimes you need someone to take away your pain
When you're falling down you're looking up for help

But how?
How can I find you my true love one?
How can I notice when a true love comes?
How?

[instrumental]

A victim of your desire
Walking through the flame
It burns you down
It burns you down
You draw a line and then cross it
To the other side
You got too far
You got too far

Have you seen it?
All your secrets are hunting you
It's too late digging your lies for the truth
Your undercover heart beats for whom?
You look so unhappy and blue

Another mistress stole your freedom
Grounded you
It's too late to awaken from your dream
All your sleepy plans end with tears
How will you sneak out from here?

The other day when I saw you
You looked so thin
It burns you down
It burns you down

Have you seen it?
All your secrets are hunting you
It's too late digging your lies for the truth
Your undercover heart beats for whom?
You look so unhappy and blue

Another mistress stole your freedom
Grounded you
It's too late to awaken from your dream
All your sleepy plans end with tears
How will you sneak out from here?

I'm a lonely soul

Everything is broken
Everything is chaos
Everything in me

Then...
Between 13 and 17
I dreamed of all the things I'd be and how
I'd see the world from high on a mountain and know I could take it

Then...
Between 19 and 21
I knew one day that I'd become someone
And I'd stand up in front of a crowd and feel them adore me

Then...
From 24 to 25
A girl I liked became my wife. I tried
It was harder than I ever imagined to keep all my dreams alive

Then...
From 28 to 33
A new responsibility, a child
And I worked hard to give her a home, to love and to shelter her

Then...
From 44 to 48
I knew I'd left it far too late, for sure
To climb up the mountain cos time's always running away from me
