LYRICS

How many fears are jumping in my brain again
How many chills still roll inside

Running faster than before yet on the same tracks
Spinning round n round at the spot we've crashed

I'M RUNNING OUT OF ORDER
WITH TWO LEAKY TIRES
THE BRAKE'S AS ALWAYS BROKEN
DON'T YOU WANNA FIND OUT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR TONIGHT

Windshield`s blurry all along counters are dancing wild
I dare you to come and take control before i lose my mind

Now or never make it clear do you still count as mine
The end of road approaches now you're running out of time

I'M RUNNING OUT OF ORDER
WITH TWO LEAKY TIRES
THE BRAKE'S AS ALWAYS BROKEN
DON'T YOU WANNA FIND OUT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR TONIGHT

INVINCIBLE ME(lyrics)

just wait and see, i'll get mine back 
one day soon it may be.
you'll see who will grab this victory

i won't quit i'll get on top again
i won't sleep, always push on ahead

and when i fall i get up again

Invincible, i'll take it all
I'm running to the beat inside my head
Unstoppable, i can' t be moved
I'm running but i cannot catch my ...

i had my moments, 
i've been weak
but here's a promise for you 
that i'm gonna keep

i won't quit, i'll get on top again
i won't sleep, always push on ahead

and when i fall i get up again

invincible, i'll take it all
i'm running to beat inside my head
Unstoppable, can't be moved
i'm running but i cannot catch my breath

my proudest moment, 
i have dreams
and i hate to break it to you, 
but i am gonna win

i won't quit, i'll get on top again
i won't sleep, always push on ahead

and when i fall i'll get up again

invincible, i'll take it all
i'm running to beat inside my head
Unstoppable, can't be moved
i'm running but i cannot catch my breath

Lyrics:
SPEEDRUN

I feel the wind, rushing through my hair, 
into the distance you'll see me glare
the great wide open, it's where i belong
into the great unknown where i will be lost

driven by my resolution
powered by my constitiution
searching for some evolution
looking for a revolution of thought

i heard you talking, behind my back
i'm no pushover, i demand respect
how were you thinking, i could accept

your foolish banter, i'll break your neck

driven by my resolution
powered by my constitiution
searching for some evolution
looking for a revolution of thought

You're a foolish man, to think i would understand ...

i'm not going down without a fight
(hell no!)

driven by my resolution
powered by my constitiution
searching for some evolution
looking for a revolution of ...

Lyrics:
it's not right when i cannot sleep at night
the haunting image of the stale and the mimmic's
don't need your gimmicks and social trimmings
your grandeur failures, and your flat out hatred

it's not right, when money brings you might
but i don't even mind ,living out the daily grind
what gets me thinking is when men are breaking , 
into useless messes in constrainment dresses

Just a little .... just a little more ...

it's not right when the stakes are high
when innocent will die, when war's driven by a lie
a greasy undertone, a subtle undertow, it's how the
story goes, it's how their morals show.

cause it's not right when soldiers lose their lives
and mothers made to cry, where hope and dreams have died
when children live in fear, lose all that they hold dear
and even worst is still, when a word might get you killed

each time i die inside , 
just a little more down
just a little decline

it's not right when we're tricked by lies 
where smoke mirrors try to hide the truth from our eyes
where bureaucrats dictate, a masterplan is made
and the opposing front,is held in disregard

cause it's not right, when we must fight to reside
against this travesty , against this industry of war
and we'll find solace in the fact the we could win
in one big unity, regain our dignity

each time i die inside , 
just a little more down
just a little decline



A Decline

Another brand new track from punkrockband MikeyLow!
A RIOT IN UTOPIA!

i wasn't brought up to hate
i wasn't taught to manipulate
is it true? are we a dying breed?

modern age insanity

first come first serve?
you know you better prove us first 
your worth to our society

think, fight , resist, use your mind!

the human measure, has it disappeared
i feel inhuman , this feels so weird
How the mighty have fallen down

the rules we made to protect the herd
turned out to be absurd, 
turned out to make us hurt

i wanna riot
don't wanna go
to your utopia

don't come to me when they take you down
don't call for me when they push you out
don't hang your head when they come for you
and don't complain when you're 6 feet under ground

A Riot In Utopia

Brand new track : HERE COMES THE REAPER
My little tribute to Lemmy and Motorhead :(
Fast Raunchy and Raw!
(pre-production demo)

LYRICS
it is time, my time has come
done all the things that i should've done
i've lived my life to the fullest, and now it's time
to end the bullshit

give me a drink
i'll tell you how i suffered
one final offer 
i've lived my life , like no other
and now it's plain to see...

here comes the reaper (for me)

hold up your hand, if you understand
don't back down , don't even bother
just know i know what it means to have 
a different view than the others ...

give me a drink
i'll tell you how i suffered
one final offer 
i've lived my life , like no other
and now it's plain to see...

here comes the reaper (for me)

give me a drink
i'll tell you how i suffered
one final offer 
i've lived my life , like no other
and now it's plain to see...

one final time, for the non-believers
one final time for all the grievers
im on a one way ride to the gates of hell
i'll ride it hard, i'll ride it well

give me a drink
i'll tell you how i suffered
one final offer 
i've lived my life , like no other
and now it's plain to see...

give me a drink
i'll tell you how i suffered
my final offer 
i've lived my life , like no other
and now it's plain to see...

Here Comes The Reaper

Pre-Production demo @ feb-2016
Yet another brand new track! More of a punkrock
vibe this time round. Please share, comment or like 
if you enjoyed out little track ;)

Lyrics:
crunching the numbers, I balance the books
living in a invisible cage, running the rat race
follow your orders, just do your job
they called it democracy, i call it insanity

I'm only human, I need something to believe in ...

lost in translation, in information of ourselves
living in a digital age, left me confused and dazed
update your status, all hail the " book "
our thoughts need to be shared, you need to show that you care

i'm only human, I've been known to make mistakes
i'm only human, who needs something to believe
i'm only human, I've been known to make mistakes
i'm only human, who needs something to believe

all shall bow down, to the mighty E-Con-O-Me
don't give us choices, when you basicly force us
to believe... , in crooked choices
mute everything you don't want them to hear
one to rule them all, doesn't feel like justice at all

they're only human ... 

i'm only human, I've been known to make mistakes
i'm only human, who has nothing to believe
i'm only human, I've been known to make mistakes
i'm only human, who has nothing left to believe in

I finally noticed something ,about myself today
a glitch in the system and it won't go away
I lost all my focus, and I lose out a lot
I lost my ambition, the reason I forgot

I finally noticed something ,about the world today
a glitch in the system and it won't go away
I lost all my focus, and  I lose out a lot
I lost my ambition, the reason I forgot

Simulator(Only Human)

Another fast and furious track from the garage of MikeyLow!
Lyrics:

FULL THROTTLE

push on ahead, i wanna ride it
i wanna ride it, full throttle
i'm on a highway , i'm going nowhere 
but i'm going strong
i wanna ride it, into the sunset
where i can forget
you know you got me 
got me where you want me
you got me running

got me running to the edge of the world
got me running, while feet already hurt
worn out and i can't go on
cannot quit i must move on

but then , i'm reminded, 
that i have my own mind
i'll turn this around
i'll face this challenge
cause i am reckless
and i cannot lie

i can't deny it, i'm on a riot
no longer will i  fight it , and no more hiding
an unstoppable force of man

got me running to the edge of the world
got me running, while feet already hurt
worn out and i can't go on
cannot quit i must move on

Full Throttle

Song By MikeyLow
Recorded @ Bunt Studio by Menno Bakker

Lyrics:
My mama told me son watch out
Cause when the sun goes down 
that's when the wolves come out
and all the liars , pretend they're saints
and you know it's time to get away

cause when the sun goes down
boy you'd better run
while the devil has some fun , oh yeah (2x)
the devil has some fun

But i didn't listen to what she said
and so my mind is filled with regrets
I thought I saw an angel in disguise
only to find out it was a devils smile

cause when the sun goes down
boy you'd better run
while the devil has some fun , oh yeah (2x)
the devil has some fun


You'd Better Run
