To retreat into your shell: that’s just the usual reaction <br />
When the way things go don't lead to your own satisfaction <br />
Giving it up – is that your way of life? <br />
And inner strife and pain is all you feel inside <br />
<br />
Is your cup half-empty instead of half-filled up <br />
Do you feel annoyed by every little thing <br />
Is self-pity 'n pessimism your second name <br />
Is your whole life covered by a long black crape <br />
And then you feel like bursting and you only want to scream <br />
It seems like you are wasting time with your philosophy <br />
To just spent this lifetime with sitting, thinking, dreaming <br />
One day you will smother on all these stupid things <br />
<br />
Why don't you scream and shout when you're face-down <br />
Why don't you talk to people who find a way out <br />
You're not the only one, that's what you got to know <br />
Time will not stand still just because of you <br />
<br />
No, no, no never ever, <br />
I'm so sick of it <br />
No, no, no never ever, <br />
These words kill <br />
No, no, never ever no, no, never ever, <br />
That is what you always say <br />
<br />
You don’t need to be troubled, your life is in good hands. <br />
But just doing nothing don't lead to a happy end <br />
Are you satisfied with everything you say or do <br />
Be someone who reacts but don't act like a fool <br />
<br />
Does god distribute while his own are sleeping <br />
What about your own acts are you still creeping <br />
Through rooms and spheres nobody can ever come to <br />
Please turn around that's the best that you can do <br />
Let him be the bullet that kills all bad feelings <br />
Let him be the bandage which stops all your bleedings <br />
Pimp your life with love from outside <br />
Turn to the right way let him be your guide <br />
<br />
Let him be the bullet that kills all bad feelings <br />
Let him be the bandage which stops all your bleedings <br />
He pulls people out of the dark into a new life and turns them inside out <br />
Let him throw yourself in turmoil get turned inside out be a light in the crowd <br />
<br />
No,no, no never ever <br />
Back to pessimism <br />
No, no, no never ever <br />
Being alone <br />
<br />
Leave your old life behind face the trouble inside <br />
Throw the long black crape away
