1. Empty Suit
A teenager is trying not to show the real him
Mysterious guys are the coolest ones
Won't look at even the best friends in the eyes
Scared of the thought, they could see through
Many years later he still is just pretending
Hiding something he has never found
Locked up from inside and the key is thrown away
Stranger to himself, lost inside
Counting - Years go by
Running - Out of time
Shining - The shine will die
Fading - Out of time
Black and white is all he sees
Colours, they are missing
Life is sometimes shades of grey
But colours he can never feel again
Behind the wall, thoughts of grey, one change, mind's decay
Empty suit, built on ice, one crack, end of lies
The goalline was crossed before he even got to start
Never knew when the time was right
Tried to hurry in everyplace but never got there in time
Now it's too late, the show is sold out
lead: Roope
The flame is 'bout to fade inside his little vacuum
No one will give him a hand
No one will hear him through
Counting - Years go by
Running - Out of time
Shining - The shine will die
Fading - Out of time
2. Friends
Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining,
I can't stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew.
Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely,"
Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew.
Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...
Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying,
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew.
So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew.
Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...
3. Empty Corner (live)
Ain´t I so nice, mother you´re so wise
I´ll satisfy your will
You´ve tied me tight, but I won´t fight
Because I don´t dare to try
A holy place disgrace,
after having been a bad bad boy
You like to see me cry, fact you can´t deny - Mother I ask you why?
If I hurt your honour, you push me back into my corner
You want to protect me from the wicked world outside
You keep me in your empire of glass and I´m your pride
I dream of breaking the glass and stepping into unknown
But do I have strength to pull myself over the wall of fear
What would happen to my mother? Would I hurt your feelings?
Would you still take me back if I missed you too much?
Spoke up my mind, mother you´re not so kind
I´m back in the corner
I´m begging thanksgiving, "you must be kidding"
Guessed I did disappoint you
Oh mommy, I´m so sorry...
A holy place disgrace,
after having been a bad bad boy
To this white sheep, raising stuck cuts too deep
I think I´m done
The cuts will bleed `cos you don´t have
What they really need
You wanted to protect me from my dream world outside
You kept me in your empire of glass, say bye to your pride
4. Meat Mincing Machine (live)
You have big muscles, a long black hair
Play guitar in the cellars, you want out at any cost
This manager here will make you a star
She´ll create an image for you, one of those spitting ones...
Kill - while others play, you kill
Praise - praise yourself, the king of heavy metal
That piece of advice got you into the charts
You think your fans fear and respect you now
"But I want them to fear me more"
I think you are ridiculous and silly
Is this all because of the size of your willie
You play macho man to a 13-year old chick
You´d love to explore her porcelain with your prick
You dress like if you lived in the iron age
Your intelligence quotient is pretty much the same
Head full of LSD, acting gorilla on stage
Or are you acting at all?
You´re a meat mincing machine "It´s so fucking fun!"
You wanna be as sharp and lethal as an X-ray gun
And be as famous as ex-president Reagan
Well done!
The wide wall between your role and true yourself
Is fading away, so you have to choose which way to go
Fear me more!
You gotta go further and further
Fear me more!
Or wake up from this bad dream
Wake me up!
Please, Mr. Nice manager
Wake me up!
