this town is painted
in black and grey
all bright colours
they fade away
these streets are cold
and filled with dirt
and these people
they're all lost an hurt
but in my headphones
I hear these songs
written by someone
who was as lost
as I feel
right here and now
and I raise my voice
and I sing along
and all these sad
and angry songs
they saved my life
more than once
yeah all these sad
and angry songs
they saved my life
more than once
I breathe out
and I breathe in
I close my eyes
and count to ten
I'm still alive
when I open them
means I survived
once again
and all these sad
and angry songs
they saved my life
more than once
yeah all these sad
and angry songs
they saved my life
more than once

all the places I never wanted to go
all the secrets I never wanted to know
all the lies I never wanted to tell
all the ideals I never wanted to sell
my bad decisions, the chances I didn't take
all the wrong turns and all my mistakes
from time to time they echo in my head
from time to time I think about my regrets
and if I could go back
to change what went wrong
I wouldn't change anything
I wouldn't change anything at all
'cause my bad decisions, the chances I didn't take
all the wrong turns and all my mistakes
'cause all my stumbles and all my falls
they brought me here, here into your arms
and if I could go back
to change what went wrong
I wouldn't change anything
I wouldn't change anything at all
and if I could decide
wether to fall or fly
I would fall again
if you're with me in the end

for as long as I can think
I used to be an optimist
thought things would improve
slowly step by step
'No Future' never meant
anything to me
but now I find myself
torn between
fear and hope
confidence and doubt
anger and desperation
going on and giving up
the future may be unwritten
but the plotlines are all set
droughts, floods and wildfires*
all lay ahead
'No Future' never meant
anything to me
but now I find myself
torn between
fear and hope
confidence and doubt
anger and desperation
going on and giving up
I know this sounds stupid and naive
but I refuse to loose hope
we are all in this together
and every little step counts
'No Future' never meant
anything to me
but now I find myself
torn between
fear and hope
confidence and doubt
anger and desperation
going on and giving up
*and hunger, thirst, wars, diseases, pandemics,...
