Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! You can’t stop this. You can’t stop this. You can’t stop this. You can’t stop this.

Cannonball 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Coming in hot Give it all you got Don't think before you jump Don't give it any thought Coming in like a cannonball Better get out of the way There’s no, there’s no stopping this It doesn’t matter, what they say Try not to slip The splash it makes will be epic Better pull out your phone and hit record Or the world will never see it Coming in hot Give it all you’ve got Don't think before you jump Don't give it any thought Coming in like a cannonball Better get out of the way There’s no, there’s no stopping this It doesn’t matter, what they say The freezing water, it sends a shock Right through your bones Degrees will drop One final time you look around You thought there’d be a bigger crowd But there’s no one there But there’s no one there to see you drown

I Don't Like You 00:33
lyrics
buy track
Leave me alone. I don’t like you at all. Leave me alone. I don’t like you at all. I don’t like you. I don’t like you. Leave me alone.

Dead End 00:31
lyrics
buy track
The sun rises again, long before you’re out of bed. Another late night session. Back to your job, it’s a dead end. You can’t wait until the time, when your shift ends. The sun rises again, long before you’re out of bed. Another late night session. Back to your job, it’s a dead end.

Reality Distorts 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Tangled up in the web of life & it doesn’t matter what you do Neither up & down, nor left & right - it gets worse the more you move Try your best, but it’s not enough - Break your back with your efforts It won’t matter in the end because reality distorts Moving mountains on your own - won’t make you less unknown Holding grudges never works - who cares who cast the first stone We never know - we never know what tomorrow has to say Tangled up in the web of life & it doesn’t matter what you do Neither up & down, nor left & right - it gets worse the more you move Try your best, but it’s not enough - Break your back with your efforts It won’t matter in the end because reality distorts We never know - we never know what tomorrow has to say If it will even come at all Make amends with all your friends & the ones that you keep close Life is short & you never know - what’s around the next corner We never know - we never know what tomorrow has to say If it will even come at all. Tangled up in the web of life & it doesn’t matter what you do Neither up & down, nor left & right - it gets worse the more you move

The Longer You Live 00:35
lyrics
buy track
Here you go again, another walk of life begins. A disproportionate amount of time is spent without friends. The longer you live, the more you learn… the less you know.

I Don't Have The Time 00:31

I don’t have the time X5 I don’t have the time for you

Save Yourself 00:32
lyrics

Roll with the punches now. Save yourself from going down If you fall, it’s not over. Just get back up and fight another round.

Undertow 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Oblivious to the obvious & believe in everything Drag me down to your level now I won’t hear a word you say In one ear and out the other. A blank expression fills my face Which way to go? Don’t know my up from down If you’re treading water now You better watch the undertow Oblivious to the obvious & believe in everything Life will throw it’s best at you. You’ll have no place left to go If you’re swept up by the river You better watch the undertow Oblivious to the obvious & believe in everything X2 Which way to go? Don’t know my up from down If you’re treading water now You better watch the undertow Life will throw it’s best at you. You’ll have no place left to go If you’re swept up by the river You better watch the undertow

Truths & Metaphors 00:31
lyrics
buy track
I can’t think straight with all of this noise. The truths and metaphors all caught up in lies. Everyone’s problems, their tears, their fears & their joys. I barely know my place in this world. It’s getting worse now, please turn it off.

Make A Move 00:30
lyrics
buy track
It’s not up to me, it’s not up them, it’s not up to anyone but you. Time is running out, you have to choose. Make a move.

It Doesn't Matter 00:33
lyrics
buy track
It doesn’t take much these days, to have something to say. It doesn’t matter. Attention spans are gone, lure them in with thirty second songs. Music can change the world, instead it’s commoditized, bought and sold. It doesn’t take much these days.

Thick & Thin 02:32
lyrics
buy track
It’s a sign of the times, something must have gone awry We’re sick of these stories and we cannot take your lies Lock the truth up in a box and bury it way deep inside. Nobody’s ready. It seems that life is just a gift. It often comes completely rigged. It could all end anytime, so make the best of... Stand up straight and focus now, though the world might let you down. If we don’t even begin, then we won’t know. Then we won’t know! It seems that life is just a gift. It often comes completely rigged. It could all end anytime, so make the best of… There are battles you won’t win. It doesn’t mean that it’s the end. Gotta stick with it through thick and thin. We hold our heads up high. Walk with a sense of pride. Until we catch a glimpse of a prouder passerby. It seems that life is just a gift. It often comes completely rigged. It could all end anytime, so make the best of it There are battles you won’t win. It doesn’t mean that it’s the end. Gotta stick with it through thick and thin.
