No Heroes 02:12
I’m sick of all the wrong ideals of all the faces on TV A consumer society who’s acting fucking selfishly Preaching the wrong values and trying to keep their white vest clean But there’s a lack of honesty and I prefer people that keep it real Those are no heroes, no icons and no friends No ideals you should pray to before you go to bed Your words they sound like wisdom but feel like poison It’s nothing new The only one you can trust if the worst comes to the worst is you Your lies they fed me up and I don’t think that this is the wright way I don’t want to become one of you and act like I’d be somebody else Those are no heroes no Icons and no friends No ideals you should pray to before you go to bed Your words they sound like wisdom but feel like poison It’s nothing new The only one you can trust if the worst comes to the worst is you
2.
I can’t understand why you fill open hearts with prejudice and fear You’re building up a common enemy or a reason for your misery It’s easy to point fingers but it can be hard to admit That it can’t be right to blame a foreign neighbor for your own failure Fascists were always here, we just learnt to ignore them But now’s the time to protect our liberty Blinded by the fear of being penalized or compromised You tried to be sincere but it’s much easier to float the wave Broken and confused you blame those who have no voice To speak out To fight back for their rights And even if they force me to see the world through different eyes I’ll be damned if I do and I will not apologize Fascists were always here we just learnt to ignore them But now’s the time to protect our liberty Blinded by the fear of being penalized or compromised You tried to be sincere but it’s much easier to float the wave Broken and confused you blame those who have no voice To speak out To fight back You made the wrong choice
3.
Political correctness taught by a bunch of braggarts, liberalism and democracy by rich people in suits They try to keep us silent and they treat us like we're dirt No one deserves a million as long as people die of thirst The division of society contributes to the growth of right wing ideology, so it makes no sense at all To listen what they try to tell you 'bout justice, war and peace If money’s all what counts for them don’t trust the Bourgeoisie It may sound old fashioned but where there's a will there is a way May this song be a light for you in desperate dark days To show you that you're not alone we question any injustice and we stand against those shit talking capitalists Shit talking capitalists disguised as liberals try to get you on their side by buttering you up The truth is they don't give a shit about your interests They're making politics for CEOs cause they want to get rich It may sound old fashioned but where there's a will there is a way May this song be a light for you in desperate dark days To show you that you're not alone we question any injustice and we stand against those shit talking capitalists

You said “don’t you think that it’s too late?” while we were feeling blue I said “I cherish every moment we share. I still lean onto you” You asked “are we just waiting for the white light?” I just want you to know I still hold on to every single dream and you can always lean onto me! So please lean on me! We won’t make it out alive! But if I have to go I’d love to have you by my side So we can think about the times when we held on to our dreams and got no responsibilities Late summer sunrise, warm asphalt after a drunken night Lying in a meadow with my best ones while we’re just watching the sky This girl she looked into the distance, she said “someday we’ll all die” I said “I’ve never felt more comfortable to die as when I look into your eyes” Your big brown eyes We won’t make it out alive! But if I have to go I’d love to have you by my side So we can think about the times when we held on to our dreams and got no responsibilities A bummer we won’t make it out alive Sometimes we paint our future in colors so dark and grey The summers come and go – the memories remain So thanks for having you around – for always cheering me up I’ll cherish every moment we will share – you’re making my life worth to live You’re making my life worth to live You’re making my life worth to live You’re making my life worth to live You’re making my life worth to live

He loves to provoke and he likes to get upset He’s simple minded but he thinks he is the man And if you try to list some of his talents I can tell you there’ll be no big challenge cause you’d finish before you start, but in his own psychopathic world he’s his own star A two faced bastard can’t hide his nastiness for long and a bad actor will be haunted by himself But the time when you told your dumb lies about me are over now so you hide and you peek to spread some new rumors from time to time but friends who care about what you’re saying are no longer mine are no longer mine Don’t come too close, stay away you hypocrite Time’s over now, just a leftover in my head I have endured this long enough I thought I could save us from decay just to figure out in the end that you were anything but a friend but a friend You’re not half the man that you pretend to be, your acting is a catastrophe You’re not half the man that you pretend to be, your acting is a catastrophe
6.
A tingle in my finger tells me that I have to leave this place But so far I don’t know where to go So many times I tried to defeat the doubts I cut the line once and for all On the next day I find myself in a room without a thing that belongs to me – yeah not even you Hospital walls – I know them well and they seem just as cold as you furthermore they feel like a cell Just in case you didn’t get it till now I’ll let you know that I’m running out of fuel Forget the time we spent together, it might be forever but it ends here Future can’t get any worse I’m running out of fuel I can’t remember the last time I was happy If this would be a game I might delete myself Feels like we’re lost in the sea of our conflicts First we broke the paddle and now we sink A 9 to 5, five days a week is exactly what I need to get a step closer to death To hell with things I thought I'd need including you and all the streets I’ve seen the last 25 years Just in case you didn’t get it till now I’ll let you know that I’m running out of fuel Forget the time we spent together, it might be forever but it ends here Future can’t get any worse And all the things you didn’t give a shit about – sometimes they meant the world to me But you don’t even care You never fucking cared I’m running out of fuel
7.
Cheating on me was a kind way of you to say we are done With fading dreams and broken hearts we began to realize that somewhere in the fucked up past we must have lost the line we walked I reckon this belongs to us just like the night we learned to love I found myself in situations with people I don’t even like My best friend got dumped by his girlfriend I saw how he nearly lost his mind By the time that we grew older some things got hard anyway Important in these times of sickness is a friend who’s not afraid to stay Between these lighters, smokes and bottles hides a fuckin piece of hope Remember the night when you turned sixteen with a pipe in my window We drank the hell out of these bottles and smoked a big pack day by day Those were the nights when we felt peace when nothing stood in our way I know we don’t belong to people that play with other people’s hearts And now you talk about big cities, our lifes and a new start And all I see are fading dreams, smoky rooms and tragedy when you talk about the people you once called your family
8.
When your whole world just seems to fall apart and you feel sick, sick and tired of the drab monotony of your days And you feel like there’s nothing more for you to do right now as than sitting, waiting, bleeding, staring at your wall Get up your ass and stop crying Just fuckin' go out there and try Discard thoughts that make you sad Stop feeling sorry for yourself cause no one else will do Start make the most of every day (and increase your self-esteem) Smash away the bad mood Bust the chains that keep you down and let the sun shine in your face Begin to smile From that point on negativity seems to dissolve It doesn’t matter in which mood you were before Sometimes we struggle for no reason and it teaches us to step ahead cause future is not written yet Get up your ass and stop crying just fuckin' go out there and try Discard thoughts that makes you sad Stop feeling sorry for yourself cause no one else will do Start make the most of every day (and increase your self-esteem) Smash away the bad mood Bust the chains that keep you down and let the sun shine in your face Begin to smile
9.
How did we end up here? Did we really ever start? With an utopian dream and in its end I fall apart It began with a Larry Arms song and a picture that you drew If you were afraid of attachment, why’s he cumming inside you? And guess who tried to accept? But you tore my heart in two Guess who drank about ten Melonballs as he saw him next to you And now you’re running through my brain, even though it does not feel the same Come watch me dying, lets spit on me, as my life goes down the drain Miss Unfantastical you see, that I’m the mess that you should be Days go by and I’ll accept, but what goes around will break its neck Lizi brought him to Tolmin, I never thought she’d do A place belonging to us now it’s a place that belongs to you A mistake that bound to happen, of course it happened the wrong time It’s been nearly four years and I’m still waiting to feel fine And I wonder how long can he keep his head in the Soča Someday we will meet again and I’ll stand in front of you Next to me my best friends and this dickhead next to you And then I’ll play this song till I see in your eyes something like regret for the first time in my life And this is how to not fall apart
10.
Better Days 02:34
Finally I fell the way I would have loved to feel before Three years of recovery with blood taste in my throat I think I found a place that I can almost call my home I freed myself from a house with a thousand windows but no door I wish I could explain to you what you mean to me because I’m scared of falling back into my old diseases Photographs of better days are hanging on my wall I capture every moment, I won’t back down at all What does it mean when you say you believe in my words but you don’t think it’s going well for us what does it mean when you say you believe in my words but you don’t think it’s going well for us I wish I could explain to you what you mean to me because I’m scared of falling back into my old diseases photographs of better days are hanging on my wall I capture every moment, I won’t back down at all
11.
aily routine tempts us to lose sight of our dreams We do the things we have to do and hope everyone is satisfied I saved a message on my phone written by you Just in case it was the last We should try to escape from here We’re leaving all our demons behind Just need somebody by my side Just writing music, adopt at least two dogs and free the from their grief doing what the heart demands I was never good at finding the right words at the right time But I’m still wondering if I’ll ever wake up by your side I’d make you breakfast and then we spend the whole day in your bed Except for two long walks with our dogs Plenty of things I need to tell you but I can’t So I’m just hoping that you know wherever your path will take you in the end girl I wish you well
