As Far As I Can Remember As far as I can remember, I’ve always been a Punk-rocker As long as it keeps me alive, I know things gonna be alright We’ve come a long way, that’s for sure From teenage dramas, acting immature Bullied everyday at school But look who’s laughing now and who’s the fool As far as I can remember, I’ve always been a Punk-rocker As long as it keeps me alive, I know things gonna be alright There’s always a song in my head, as soon as I get out of bed It stays with me through good and bad it’s not a phase, it’s just my life I think too much about the past I know it’s not gonna bring it back anyway Growing up to the sound of Suffer Made me who I am now, couldn’t have been any better Now that we’re older and our hairlines start receding I’m still grateful for this music that gave my life a true meaning All the choices that I made, they’re now tattooed on my skin For the future that is bright, with punk in the background playing As far as I can remember, I’ve always been a Punk-rocker As long as it keeps me alive, I know things gonna be alright I always have a place to go, looking forward for the next show I’ll always dye my hair in blue, enjoy the things I wanna do

Monuments to Mediocrity We carry burdens on our backs We try our best to stay on track We smile and try to laugh but it barely covers pain Pretend you're everything you want With no real challenge to confront Shallow ambition and superfluous needs Our monuments to mediocrity They’re just not good enough for me! Aim for Mediocrity That’s not good enough for me Bathe in your own misery Or refuse Mediocrity Chances of survival are thin The system's rotten from within Pretend to get along, acting like it's fine There is another world out there And we can reach it if we care Although the path is paved with jinx and misery Something else than depravity Cheap television stars and delusional avatars Enjoy your mediocrity Actual standards are so low And our awakening oh so slow

9pm at the gas station I’ve got no choice anymore than to settle down and stay at home All of my friends, well they have already chosen that path anyway No more late night parties, no more going crazy None of my boys seem to wanna lose some sleep and go to work tired A bunch of years ago, it was all about having fun From bars to bars, to random shows, to party crashing But it's clearly over now, everybody prefer restaurants Career plans and families have gotten the best of us Stop working on that urgent file We'll have some fun for a while Call the nanny for the kids Tonight we're taking on the streets Come out and play for the night This time we’re gonna make it right It cannot be the last ride We are forever young and wild C’mon let’s go out for a drink, let this not be our bitter end I don’t want to have to hang around my niece and nephew’s friends I know we can’t live in the past I just want the good times to last

Dorian Gray Syndrome Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer Well I found this old class picture from 1986 I had never realized how far the old times really were Back then I was just a kid, oblivious and bliss But times they are a changin’, though you never really notice it And then a simple pic submerges you with memories And all of a sudden you realize you’re not that kid on the picture anymore And you haven’t been for 30 years or more Everyone feels like the same person that they’ve always been Anybody’s so persuaded they never change a bit But the truth hits and it hurts and your youth is obsolete Better live the present moment than admit defeat Days and weeks and years go by The time, it never stops and it takes you by surprise And you never live the moment, unless you care to try And so you look the present time right in the eyes But times they are a changin’, though you’re not allowed to admit it And then a simple pic submerges you with memories And all of a sudden you realize you’re not a kid and the truth you can’t ignore Is you never gonna be one anymore

Stateless Society I dream of a world where we set the rules A place where we ain't no government's tools No countries, no presidents, no political fools I wonder when we’re gonna be free for good I just wanna live in a stateless society! I dream of worldwide democracy Not just another half disguised hegemony Modern freedom? Fuck it, more like modern hypocrisy Are we ever gonna feel free? It’s time for a stateless society Make room for a stateless society

Not Forgotten You spent a lifetime going through another day You tried your best at being alive in the most righteous way You tried to leave a footprint, a legacy, a trace, for us to hold onto when the world was turning gray How did they dare bury you, in such a hasty way Done in a flash, and gone forever yet somehow you remain But no one deserves oblivion, it happens anyway We never pay respects enough to those who go away I’m sorry that it is too late now You’re gone, but you’ll never be forgotten

Heart & Pen 03:44
Heart & Pen I can’t help but think of the bitter sweet irony For a timid, neurotic, introverted guy like me Who’s laid his heart open in songs like this one for years Yet no close friends or relatives ever gave me an ear I could never express my emotions very well The torments in my head that made my life a living hell I’m glad I’ve had the chance to be able to write it down It helped me stay alive, I’m proud I did it on my own Sing your heart out Even if no one is listening Sing your heart out Do it before your soul starts bleeding I know sometimes you’re gonna think your world is gonna end There’s nothing worth it around you and nobody understands I hope you find someone to talk about your deepest fears Or try to write a song and sing it loud and proud and clear This music may only reach out to a bunch of people We’ll never be the Rolling Stones, we’re never turning gold But we play with sincerity and sing about our lives Heart and pen and paper, my broken guitar, voice and eyes Sing your heart out And realize that life’s worth living Sing your heart out Write it all and let out your feelings

Life Events 03:26
Life Events Spent my whole life running after ghosts I don’t even remember the last time I saw one I’m so lost in my insanity I spent too much time wasting seconds one by one But now I’m way too old, I don’t give a crap anymore I’m much too weak to pick myself up from the floor Give me a purpose or a break from misery Just try to set me free Waking up, but I don’t know what for My body is moving forward but my mind is reeling Depression is a never-ending curse Enjoy the substance cuz the form is getting worse Oh well, I played my cards, did it all wrong and lost it all I’m just a puppet, just a shadow on the wall Give me a purpose or just take my sanity Just try to set me free Lock me in; Make me disappear It’s never going to get better Not going to pull for another year I’m tired and I’m not clever

Nuclear Optimism is so 50’s The burden of our mistakes is floating in the air Soon we will run for cover, for the moment we don't care The unconsciousness began some hundreds years ago The consequences turn into a fact for us to know Retaliation is a modern catastrophe Nature will have its revenge and we are the enemy A chaotic system that we managed to control With ignorance and recklessness with struck it like a storm Get ready for the breakdown It's time for a well earned misfortune Get ready for the breakdown Make room for a new form of life The haze of our arrogance is spreading everywhere Between lies and story tales, quite hard to know who's on the square A fundamental process that we managed to destroy We gotta trade the power plants for greener uniforms
