I’d never thought I’d be doing this at all None of my friends would’ve believed me if I told them I would crawl On a stage somewhere alone Facing people on my own No one there to catch me if I should fall For a while I secretly wanted to Give it a try and see if I could, just like you, Move or simply entertain Push whatever thoughts away Play all I should feel like, fuckups too Thank you for your confidence For thinking that I could make some sense For giving me the opportunity For believing in me I made this, now it’s out for all to hear I hope some of you will tell me what you think of it, sincerely Tell me in all honesty What you think of it Feel free to tell me to just quit and let it be

She's been bouncing around, now she’s counting Every bruise as a token of pride There’s a chance she’ll be having a little too much Not intended but she just might It’s never a violent thing, the urge to dance hard and sing along Give way to the rebel inside All the way right from the start Bless her punk rock heart He's been standing somewhere in the back now Quietly enjoying the show Carefully watching who's playing what and how Everyone is ablaze at the front row He has no need to be in the pit, feeling free To experience and always remain True and never disregard Bless his punk rock heart And after every show they return home with memories that will last long Already looking forward to the next one ‘cause that’s where they belong They have met on an occasion like this Started talking, then kissed Now they are one in mind Sharing records and thoughts Happy with what they’ve got Pretty much always entwined And to anyone who claims they are wrong They should grow up, be strong There’s a clear fuck you No one will tear them apart Bless their punk rock heart

Sally’s been creating all day now In a room where she’s left all alone No one understands but she’s calling it home She’s been ‘round for many a year now Met so many people like you But there’s hardly anyone who can get through How to trust what you can’t get into She can see that most people won’t do Sally knows where she wants to go to But she doesn’t know how to do so She thinks about leaving but she'll never go She knows there’s a future hiding somewhere She’s been looking searching but never too hard Because she knows she is not really smart She will fail when she is caught off guard You can’t tell but inside she is scarred And some people smile as she’s turning away All assuming she’s perfectly fine But they don’t know what lies concealed in her mind She’ll get over it somewhere in time It’s a cruel world that keeps her confined Some of them think she is strange anyway And because they don’t know how to deal with her They’re making fun, she knows and she will hide In a room where she makes her sun shine She’ll pretend all is well and aligned

I don’t seem to understand my friend this world that pained you so much, the dark thoughts that you had. Your last hours keep haunting me as if they were my own. As I keep trying to protect you from the harm that can’t be undone. Every time I’m walking on this endless road alone there is no escaping from my thoughts. Breathing in just like you did before you put an end to it and walked away from all that you held dear. Can’t bear the thought of losing another friend. The more scarce our time together, the more that it all meant. And I remember clearly driving your car around our town to hang up posters for more good times. I value that so high. Every time I’m walking on this endless road alone there is no escaping from my thoughts. Breathing in just like you did before you put an end to it and walked away from all that you held dear. I can’t be sure this will be the last verse that I write in your honor, ‘cause grief visits like a curse. It comes around just now and then and eats away a little more of memories deep in my head, though I’ll keep my heart safe. Every time I’m walking on this endless road alone there is no escaping from my thoughts. Breathing in just like you did before you put an end to it and walked away from all that you held dear. Walked away from all, walked away from all, walked away from all… I hold you dear. For Kenis, with much love.
