theSIPRIExperiment Lyrics for DISTORTED MELODIES (2016) 01. Expectations ---------------- Welcome to my world of madness Lonesome and filled with sadness I ask: Have you ever been to where the light won't last? Find peace of mind She said: There's no reason to be afraid Unless you know what you might find (what you might find) There's no reason to feel deranged Until you've glanced inside my mind (inside my mind) Just let our worlds collide The future will decide I hide my expectations Leading you astray Your hopes are getting higher Making me afraid He said: Did you mess with my head for fun Or did you hope that I'd surrender? When you thought it was time to run Did you think I mattered? Do show me where I wronged and I'll fix myself accordingly You know that I stayed strong but time is getting the best of me You never felt my pain You never felt my pain I hide my expectations Leading you astray Your hopes are getting higher Making me afraid I hide my expectations Wishing they would fade My thoughts are getting stronger Leading me astray You make me feel afraid You're making me so frail Save yourself You'd better save yourself 02. Drowning ------------ Die It's getting dark while we're sitting by the lake The night is quiet and we've got nothing more to say We're alone and that is how we want to stay I just hope forever's going to be this way You and I, we have found a way You and I, we're gonna push our fears away Away The water's rising as we're walking down the shore I'm getting cold, but I've never been this sure You squeeze my hand and turn to me to show (turn to me to show) Your smiling eyes as we're sinking down below You and I, drowning You and I, fading You and I, drowning You and I, fading away Your glassed eyes Reflecting like the moon A deep breath And I'll be there with you soon The body of a 19-year-old local girl was pulled out of the lake this morning by two fishermen The girl had been reported missing earlier this week The police are investigating the death as a suicide By drowning Come back to me Come back to me 03. Fixed Chains ---------------- You were the one To see inside me I never thought it would be possible You were the one Who believed in me I always thought I was too broken But then you fixed me somehow When you walked inside (Darkside) My life was over There was no way of going back no more All the things I loved Suddenly seemed so small That night I was playing just for you Hey, I've waited Waited for so long Hey, I've waited Waited for this song I only dreamed Of being released You broke my chains And set me free Whenever I tried to look into my own future I saw nothing Only darkness I heard nothing, I felt nothing It was like I wasn't even alive But now, I can see I can hear I can feel And I feel... free 04. Innocence ------------- It's so hard to find a way out From this dark world of mine Innocence is leavin' me, yeah Innocence is leavin' me, yeah I'm so tired of being left out I need to find my own kind Innocence is leavin' me, Like a ship at open sea Floating into the horizon A severed limb, my seventh sin Close the door, don't let me in I'm about to break my walls down You can never see my hate You should never feel my rage (Stay away, you gotta stay away from me) You can never see my hate You should never feel my rage (Stay away, just stay the fuck away from me) You should never let me in You can never let me win 05. Let's Ride -------------- I'm gonna take you and your friend for a ride I'm gonna show you how to have a good time I'm gonna make your sorrows step aside These roads were built for us to drive We're going to leave this town behind We're going to set these wheels on fire Where shall we end up going tonight? No one knows, no one even cares It might just take forever To get your life in order But in the meantime you should: Drive fast, live young, keep on having fun There's nothing that can stop us Except for empty gas tanks Steer right, take five, it's time we stick it in 'cause you know: "Ich brauch benzin!" A quick piss and the trip continues Crank up the stereo volume Feel the breeze (when) sliding back the sunroof No one is going to make us turn around We won't turn around It might just take forever To get your life in order But in the meantime you should: Drive fast, live young, keep on having fun Don't freeze and wait forever The time is now or never Don't/No need to look any further Drive fast, live young, keep on having fun 07. Rain -------- I remember the day I cried I was coming to see you one last time Hoping you'd changed your mind Knowing inside... It's the end of our time tonight I'm gonna see myself alone in the moonlight Moonlight Bye bye my darling, goodbye I should've told you sucked me dry Inside and out but even dead beat flowers flourish when it rains Rain, the rain will save me I'm waiting for the rain I was reaching the end of the line Every step drew me further from your side Wanting to run and hide... Would this all subside? I looked up to the clouds, so high A drop of falling rain was blurring my eyesight Eyesight Time comes when all dreams seem to fade Hope leaves but the longing stays the same Once fallen, two times worth the pain Give me your soil, I'll make it rain I'll make it rain Rain, the rain will save me Wash away The rain will wash away my pain
