Something Like You - Lyrics Oh fuck it I really don ́t see why there is something like you in this world And I did not, I did not expect that a human can be such a waste It makes me angry Cause you have nothing to offer except for fear and destruction You torture my soul just to get an erection You preach about hate and demolish the faith of the world Oh damn it I don't get what you do Yes I get what you do I don't get why you do that to us You sick body of thoughts What went wrong in your head What the hell are you fighting against You don't have the right You just lie to yourself Cause there can't be a reason to back up your murder And no way to snuff out our strong faith in unity, justice and peace Shut it down Cause I think you don ́t know anything about the world Well, I know that you don`t know anything about the world When I have questions When I ask myself Why is this world so fucking annoying Why is this world so self-destructive Why can ́t it be like I think Why can ́t it be like it should I want to Create a world No place for a spiteful thought Just friendly friends support And I hope that you know, that I want more Nothing to say, nothing to talk About what you gave to our community You crossed the line You went way too far So get out of my way, get out of my way What I aim at What I aim at It ́s a world where there should be Nobody, who spreads fear and panic And nobody, who exploits our morals And nobody, who tears our union And nobody, who is like you © SPARKLING

Not The Only One Here - Lyrics I´m walking down the pavement I realise that I´m just a person in the crowd Nobody would even care if I shout out Feels like I have no voice Every man for himself My power and my confidence tumble down my face I nearly drown in the waves Cause something pulls me down And tries to suck away all I´ve gained Without trying different thoughts I can´t defend what I´ve got It tries to show me that I am worthless And I Better now that I´m someone Cause I am Not the only one here You push me Touch me Want me to see That I am a nobody But I don´t trust you Honestly, I try to not believe a word you say I want to be awake, reset myself Cause I don ́t want a thought That pulls me down That kicks me around I am suspended from life I don ́t do what I like Stop let me rearrange It´s not easy to push yourself I fear that everything I do is not much more than just a short erection And I Better now that I´m someone Cause I am Not the only one here I stand here, not beside me I activate myself And I´m excited to surprise me I stand here, not beside me I activate myself And I´m excited to surprise And I Better now that I´m someone Cause I am Not the only one here © SPARKLING

Is This Our Generation - Lyrics I come home at night And I step onto a snail I know it is disgusting But it is just how it feels When you're not anymore In control of your bad habits When you're not anymore In control of your bad habits There is no way out Yes there is a way out It is just not easy to get out of this crowd Going one way No space to elute No place, No food, No interlude And I'm running running running There is no reason just running I push myself from the one to the one and then back to the one Never waste time by choosing which way to go, Just follow the line, the sign, that, that should be fine And I'm touching me, I am touching myself Try to feel anything, I can't feel it at all I don ́t listen anymore to the voice in my brain I don't listen anymore to the screaming of my brain Is that the taste, taste, taste, shit, go on, you are late Don't miss the fake things happening around you Found you crying on the floor, I want more more more Cause I like to suffer and I like to suffer Next one I am ready to eat the day Look left, look right Turn around, don't smile These are just sweaty fatty faces, which squeeze past me I try not to move, but they move me Please stop it I want to get out of here This future is long gone I am new born and awake I can do it Whatever it is, just do it The sound of bittersweaty melodies is turning me on I want to listen but I can't stop, cause I'm still on the run So I go on, not satisfied But some things have to be done Cause when I think about the places, I am already gone They want me faster, want us faster There is no time to rest I have to cough, will puke, no air, I can not breath It's getting tight and tighter, but there was a limit for this We can't work faster, can't be younger Don't you know that we live Fuck I'm under pressure, body strain Nervous twitches I'm on my way Masks with a body, boys dressed in suits They wanna be big and they don't care about you I have a look around, nobody is looking around Only mad amused teens laughing with a burnout smile I look into dead eyes, dead child, their lives are banned New grownups with an egoshooter sense If it, it, it, goes on like this then it will turn us all off Only brainless competition followed by heartless decisions It takes the sense of our being Will turn us into predators Into a stupid, evil, callous, boring, shallow piece of shit Is this what we want Is this really what we want Is this what we're proud of This is not the world I wanted to be born in This is not the paradise they told me I would live in Is this our generation Is this our god damn pride Is this our god damn pride © SPARKLING

I Am Here To Stay - Lyrics Can you believe I was looking for a reason, why I do this And it tortures me, I don ́t know It has always been there Has it always been there Do I do what I want to do Yes fuck it, I do I know, I can fall down I put my head, my heart, my life in But I can still fall down If no one follows, I will neither No investor means that your work has no worth But I can show you, it is not true It´s just your point of view I think I must remind myself I rather gnash my teeth Fall down on my knees And do everything it needs Than to agree Get out of my way I am here to stay I am not here to come and leave on the same day I am here, to be here As long as I can As much as I can I will do, to win against you Yes you, and everything you are Everything you brought it will burn down in a war You don ́t know me But I think I can release your deep dreams You can see I put my life in Everything, I would do it again Lets be honest, it could work better But I don ́t give it away I don ́t trust anyone who can make my day Hey hey I am here to stay Cause this is everything I want, This is everything I want to be I think you can see I take all my energy It ́s good you feel free But who are you to know better than me Get out of my way I am here to stay I am not here to come and leave on the same day I am here, to be here As long as I can As much as I can I will do, to win against you Yes you, and everything you are Everything you brought it will burn down in a war I am at least more than you think I am at least more than you could I am at least more than I thought I am at least more than Can I go where I want Can I change my direction Can I destroy Cause I kick around ideas in my head And it challenges my decisions All this open opportunities They make me mad, I want to rip it up Get out of my way I am here to stay I am not here to come and leave on the same day I am here, to be here As long as I can As much as I can I will do, to win against you Yes you, and everything you are Everything you brought it will burn down in a war © SPARKLING
