Goldmine (Snippet)

(Samples)

You hold me when I lost my head.
But I've been to far away I can't go back again.

You free your mind while I lost mine.
I might have changed and cross your path of life.

I can't tell you who I am – but I can cry what I'm not!

My drug is the city.
My drug is the city.

I'd waste so much time
Looking for love, watching myself,
Listen to Paul, feeling so blue,
Smelling the haze of the rain,
Yelling for fame, cash, fervour and my answers.

My drug is the city.
My drug is the city.

Now it feels like I fall through the middle of my earth.
Now it feels like I fall through the middle of my earth.

Introducing The Black

So you – just gave me that one ride
And I – lost all my rain, all my pride
And I'll wake up shitfaced on your bathroom floor again.
But I – can't really say what turns me on.
These high heels make me melt to the ground
And you me make feel like I'll die on ecstasy.

I guess, I love, I don't know – blame it all on my youth.
I do not know what to do with myself.
I don't care with whom and when I fall in new clouds
Again my sympathy for you does not know an end
I guess, I love, I don't know how to satisfy.

So you – wear your dancing shoes
Like the monkeys expected from you
And I – told you that you look excessively catchy.
It's not just the way you move – no –
It's not cause you smell so good
It's cause when I come home that my girl might say that I smell like you.

I guess, I love, I don't know – blame it all on my youth.
I do not know what to do with myself.

I am so cold (I warm my ego at) the devil's fire
I am so cold (I warm my ego at) the devil's fire
Cause I love/love, your/your, hugs/hugs, soul/soul, laugh/laugh, eyes/eyes, scent/scent
Kiss/kiss, voice/voice –
Don't know if I'll come back... again

I guess, I love, I don't know – blame it all on my youth.
I do not know what to do with myself.
I don't care with whom and when I fall in new clouds
Again my sympathy for you does not know an end
I guess, I love, I don't know how to satisfy.

Won't you blame it on my youth
I guess, I love, I guess, I don't know
Won't you blame it on my –

Blame It All

We hooked up – slow danced in white.
We are naughty, pathetic, had disgusting sweat fights.
You just said – we'll drink all night.
But I can't lose that feeling we are drinking to die.
I can't let you go – let you go.

You called me a liar, a liar!
Cause I never felt anything but shame for you!
You called me a liar, a liar! When I gave you me!
You called me a liar, a liar!
Cause I said I love you but never showed it to you.
You called me a liar, a liar! But how can I if I ain't felt a damn thing?

I am the one – you could not find here around.
You are the one - I always wanted to drown.
No wasted years in that grey and black town.
You'll love me forever cause I let you down.

I can't let you go – let you go.

I was too far away from home – to see that you did change me.
I thought you will make me complete.
But now I find myself in your arms. Crestfallen and beat.
Can't believe. How could I? God Damn I can't let you go!

3x
You called me a liar, a liar!
Cause I never felt anything but shame for you!
You called me a liar, a liar! When I gave you me!
You called me a liar, a liar!
Cause I said I love you but never showed it to you.
You called me a liar, a liar! But how can I if I ain't felt a damn thing?

Liar

Follow Me

Step The Rats Down

Sorrows In Silence

Down And Out

Step Inside

Reaching new horizons
Begging for one clear thought.
Old enough to know it all
But far too young to give a fuck.

I'll not talk to you any more
Cause I'm afraid what I, what I might say
You'll not talk to me any more
Cause you're afraid of what your friends might say
I don't have to read you any more
Cause now I know your curves and your secrets.

Don' worry Darling. September rain will fall in October.

You don't know
The colour of my eyes cause you can't 
Stand my sight
Begging for one clear thought.

You need me more than I ever do
and now I need you more than ever before.

Now I need you more than ever be–
Now I need you more than ever before.
I need you more than ever be–
Now I will need you again

You don't know
The colour of my eyes cause you can't
stand my sight.
Begging for one clear thought.
I don't know
The colour of your eyes either cause
I lost myself 
In it for one clear thought.

One Clear Thought

Why do you shot me like scag?
Since when do you seem so good?
You broke something inside of me but the pieces create a mosaic.
I won't fucking fix it.

You need no sunshine.
Follow me cause I'm a shining light
Bright eyes, a child in time
Full of thrills and burning nights.
I will ride, straight in your head, bone your mind
And you will loose your fear instead.
Feel the core, loose yourself with me.

You're so alive tonight
So alive tonight
So alive tonight
So alive, so alive, so alive.

It is killing me, bringin' me down
Down among the filthy ground
It is bringin' me, bringin' me down
In the shit of my black clouds
In the absence of a sound 
So come follow me down
In the shit of my, absence of a sound.

Come follow me, follow me down
Just follow me.

You say –
I am going off the rails on a crazy train
I want a bullet in your head
I can't believe – all that was coined by Ozzy and Rage.
You say –
I walk this way, I won't get fooled again
I say –
Stop that bullshit all you do is copy & paste.

Cause Rock n Roll is dead
And I can't be your Elvis now
Go find him in Graceland.
If you can't make it there
You won't make it anywhere
Cause all you do is –
Copy & paste!

Love will tear us apart
And I will paint it black
I am Iron Gland and Papa got a brand new bag.
You say –
I'm dazed and confused and I still got the blues.
I say –
People are strange but you only copy & paste.

Cause Rock n Roll is dead
And I can't be your Elvis now
Go find him in Graceland.
If you can't make it there
You won't make it anywhere
Cause all you do is –
Copy & paste!

I can't feel a damn thing so FUCK GODDAMN
I can't believe a damn thing so FUCK GODDAMN
I can't believe what you say so FUCK GODDAMN
You won't copy the kids say FUCK GODDAMN

Cause Rock n Roll is dead
And I can't be your Elvis now
Go find him in Graceland.
If you can't make it there
You won't make it anywhere
Cause all you do is –
Muddy and caged – bloody and aged –
Music go copy & paste.
