Counting Backwards
02:10
|

Even when i finally get what i want
A sense of void just grips me i'm completely blank
Cursed with an absence of contentment
And i cannot find comfort but when in the dark
Everyday i'm counting backwards
Until this world collapses into ashes
When the day is over and the night begins
This desire becomes an unconfessed dream
Without a warning in the lightest of my moments
A part of me just scares me, a part of me that's dead
It's like sometimes it's taking over
And i'm alone behind it, trapped inside my head
Everyday i'm counting backwards
Until this world collapses into ashes
When the day is over and the night begins
This desire becomes an unconfessed dream

Sure
02:45

Sure, you have nothing to do with the working class
Sure, just because your tv is flat and smart
Sure, the way to a better wage is working overtime
Sure, your boss is cool and hip and just one of your kind
Right, you can be anything you want because you're free
Right, immigrants trying to invade in your country
Right, espresso and sushi are top qualities in life
Right, this is a shape of life that you decide
Yeah, you are totally bored and there is nothing to do in life
Yeah, plenty of people like you trying to spend their meantime
Yeah, all these thoughts sure lead to suicide
Yeah, it's better to burn out than to wait even for a while

Not to Be Found
03:40
|
|||
Glamour, glass and soulless buildings everywhere around
Sirens, horns and surveillance and you're nowhere to be found
In the news talks of war, common sense and a terror sound
I'm living in a doorless corridor and you're nowhere to be found
All the things i tolerate in this hostile town
All the attempts i do not dare in fear of what surrounds
All the aggression i pull through and still i'm safe and sound
All the needs i do not meet in this faceless crowd
You're not to be found
Losing friends and missing faces in spots and parts of town
Some did break and some got lost and you're nowhere to be found
Getting older and chased by time, pack my stuff and follow down
Getting pushed to make decisions though i know i'm nowhere bound
All the things i tolerate in this hostile town
All the attempts i do not dare in fear of what surrounds
All the aggression i pull through and still i'm safe and sound
All the needs i do not meet in this faceless crowd
You're not to be found

Lost in a sea swimming against it
Waves rushing down on me and throw me to the rocks
One cannot seem to fight the current
All on his own and tired
People have beliefs
That crush you like the waves
And like the waves these beliefs
They're all the same
Funny, each one thinks
His view is self-made
But it's imposed theories
That they've been taught to say
In this survival of the strongest
The harder that i push the stronger are the waves
And it's the biggest tide that dictates
The waves' direction over me
People have beliefs
That crush you like the waves
And like the waves these beliefs
They're all the same
Funny, each one thinks
His view is self-made
But it's imposed theories
That they've been taught to say
All our beliefs sustain the status quo
All our notions are of the status quo
All our beliefs sustain the existing
All our notions are of the existing

Athens in the Dawn
05:40
|
|||
This city talks so loud
And yet its silence carries danger
I started walking round
From suburb to suburb from station to station
I got squizzed in the bus
With shadowy faces all around me
Cannibals all around
Ready to take your spot and displace you
And conversations i heard
From people that hated their jobs
I heard them talk about
How people around them don't work enough
I walked out in the streets
Walked through a sea of parked cars
Drivers stepping on the gas
To make sure pedestrians don't cross before them
That's Athens in the dawn
Of a new age that keeps looking older
There's nothing to expect
But for times to get even balder
The smell of concrete and steel
And money out of every inch
The ground belongs to those
That do business and expand it as further as goes
Tourists taking over downtown
And locals around them wearing their best smile
The city welcomes tourist crowds
But gets antagonised with migrants and beggars
Graffity on the walls
Erased nazi signs and slogans
The walls reveal a war
That everyone sees but noone talks about it
On the pavement full of holes
Where grey and black alternate
Shit, garbage and sleeping bags
Where some people spit and others find a home
That's Athens in the dawn
Of a new age that keeps looking older
There's nothing to expect
But for times to get even balder
