we don´t see eye to eye
every day´s no longer a
struggle to survive
when I was just a boy
my father told me that
it´s a cold, hard world we live in
(shut the fuck up) have a coke and a smile
I try to keep my aspirations to myself
keep my head down
and my nose clean
i´m done with all your bullshit negativity
i´m done with hating the world that won´t let me in
have a coke and a smile
I see the dark clouds
hanging over your head
and I wish you´d just keep them to yourself
have a coke and a smile

Almost there

get up and punch the clock-card
smell the coffee and then wake
let´s be bold as eagles like when we were young
take no shit from no one and have some fucking fun
while I was sitting on my ass on the outside looking in
life was happening somewhere else to someone
but not for me
once I let go of the struggle i´m almost there
in an escalator going into peace
I tic-toc like a timebomb
and when I go off
i´m having more fun
let´s try and live a little while we still can
it´s now or never to be all that I could be
once I let go of the struggle i´m almost there
in an escalator going into peace
i´m not scared anymore
i´m not scared anymore
I don´t hate me anymore
i´m TCOB
like the king of Rock and roll
TCOB

born and raised in this small town where the lake ends
words cannot describe a lifetime with friends
we all share the same sorrows, the joys and laughs
and we´ll find the gold in the memories of the past
i´ve come to realize just how hard it is to let go
bittersweet and oh I hate it so
and when you hear this song you´ll know
it was always about you
the day i´ll sing this song no more
is the day i´ve forgot you
my whole life i´ve rode the same railroad tracks back and forth
loved-ones have all come and gone like the trains
they´ve just passed by with a quick hello and goodbye
and i´m still here waiting for my time
when I am an old man
i´ll dig a hole with my own bare hands right in the backyard
of my mothers house
and crawl in there to wait to die
I can´t wait to come home again
and when you hear this song you´ll know
it was always about you
the day i´ll sing this song no more
is the day i´ve forgot you

it´s been years since I forgot joy
I mixed it into the drink
and from the bottom of barrel I just poured myself another one
once had the will to live
just lost it along the way
when everyone around you dies, don´t feel like standing up again
I found the bottom in a dirty bathroom floor
and I believe
each star has a name
I found the bottom in a dirty bathroom floor
puking my insides out don´t want this life anymore
and I believe
each star has a name
and you´re drinking up there
with the best of `em
you´re drinking up there
and you´ll find yourself with the rest of `em
i´ve got your words tattooed in my brain
and i´ve got your love tattooed in my heart
oh I might fall apart

I always wanted to believe you
never for a second did I doubt you
and as it seems
the things you said to me
not all of that was true
I thought I had it in the palm of my hand
maybe someone out there is laughing at my plans
first you get a grip, then you try not to lose it
then life throws a monkey wrench in your whole programme
feels like you´re fading out of my world
I swallowed the hook, line and the sinker
feels like you´re fading out
