Le Max 05:37
Le Max #VERSE I look into your eyes They are cloudy cause you are old now Cause you are old now But I imagine that You can look inside of me A deep connection #CHORUS It's such a privilege to be your friend What I gave to you you returned it twice You waggle from your snout to tail's end In the game of my life you are the prize #VERSE I run my fingers through Your white fur now you start smiling You start smiling You taught me your language and you learned mine When I adopted you You rescued me #CHORUS It's such a privilege to be your friend What I gave to you you returned it twice You waggle from your snout to tail's end In the game of my life you are the prize #CHORUS It's such a privilege to be your friend What I gave to you you returned it twice You waggle from your snout to tail's end In the game of my life you are the prize #OUTRO R.I.P Max 2022

Dark Flow #VERSE Caught up in everyday worries When all your certainties crumble to dust Your complaints and your duties No one there you can trust #PRE-CHORUS Think of the ever expanding universe Proportions out in space You might think that this will make the things get worse But it's a mind game to embrace #CHORUS It makes you feel humble Tears of joy in your eyes Try before you tumble And you realise How small we are in the grand scheme of things How small we are in the grand scheme of things #VERSE You are Insignificant out there Not meaningless on earth You're so wanted somewhere For what it's worth #PRE-CHORUS Put your worries into perspective Are they really that big of a deal? It makes it easy to forgive And it changes the way you feel #CHORUS It makes you feel humble Tears of joy in your eyes Try before you tumble And you realise How small we are in the grand scheme of things How small we are in the grand scheme of things #OUTRO Dark flow, black holes, great walls Dark flow, black holes, great walls

Stargazing 04:17
Stargazing #VERSE At the end of this night out We lay on our backs In the grass up on that hill Watching the stars #PRE-CHORUS And no one can say why It feels so familiar Time just flies by I feel calm and safe #CHORUS I see a light I see a light of a shooting star I see a light I see a light that glows from far I make a wish hope it comes true Just wanna get close to you The day is dawning The sun comes up #VERSE I try to impress you naming the few constellations I know Our pinkies touch You don't pull back I grab your hand #PRE-CHORUS No better place to be Admiring you soft profile You turn your head to me Despite the dark I know you smile #CHORUS I see a light I see a light of a shooting star I see a light I see a light that glows from far I make a wish hope it comes true Just wanna get close to you The day is dawning The sun comes up #PRE-CHORUS And no one can say why It feels so familiar Time just flies by I feel calm and safe #CHORUS I see a light I see a light of a shooting star I see a light I see a light that glows from far I see a light I see a light shining from above Shining from a shooting star I see a light shining from above Shining from a shooting star

No no future #VERSE This cold war Will soon turn nuclear Only few will survive And robots will rule our lives #PRE-CHORUS In the year 2010 Earth will be a lonely place by then #CHORUS Oh no no I disagree the future is bright Everything will be alright When cars can fly And no one lies When world peace is here And we'll have fought diseases #VERSE Come on get real Is this really what you feel?

Amour Fou 03:53
Amour Fou #VERSE Is it a heavenly conjunction Or a serious mental dysfunction Your love is my Addiction I'm acting strange Overjoyed in one moment And then again we are opponents Like a magnet changes Polarity #CHORUS Down in the alley I look around It's dark and it rains you cannot be found I know it tears me apart we're not meant to be You vanished you are leaving me #VERSE You cling to me then you You slap my face You yell at me you need your space I'm speechless left behind Can't say a word Didn't hear from you for a couple of weeks Now your makeup's running down your cheeks Disheveled hair And passionate love #CHORUS Down in the alley I look around It's dark and it rains you cannot be found I know it tears me apart we're not meant to be You vanished you are leaving me #BRIDGE Why is it so why must it be like this You're my doom my elemental bliss We don't belong together but we are inseparable I better let you go you better let me go #CHORUS Down in the alley I look around It's dark and it rains you cannot be found I know it tears me apart we're not meant to be You vanished you are leaving me #OUTRO Why is it so why must it be like this You're my doom my elemental bliss We don't belong together but we are inseparable I better let you go you better let me go

Too heavy to Fly #VERSE The weather conditions are right A light breeze and no storm in sight A clear and starry night #VERSE But I'm too heavy to fly My ballast makes me shy I am willing to try #PRE-CHORUS What's keeping me anchored on ground? There must be a hook that ties me down I wanna let go and spread my wings #CHORUS I wanna fly with you Up in the air with you I wanna get high Up to the sky I wanna take off with you Fly through the clouds with you I'll never look down Disappearing frown #VERSE No missing feathers no broken wings They're wide and strong so it seems Just like in my dreams #VERSE Is it that there's a chance to fall The fear of loosing self control No confidence at all #PRE-CHORUS What's keeping me anchored on ground? There must be a hook that ties me down I wanna let go and spread my wings #CHORUS I wanna fly with you Up in the air with you I wanna get high Up to the sky I wanna take off with you Fly through the clouds with you I'll never look down Disappearing frown #OUTRO I wanna fly with you Up in the air with you I wanna get high Up to the sky I wanna take off with you

Carnivore 04:07
Carnivore #VERSE An eerie tension in the air The pack separates and surrounds its prey They were starving all week long But now's the time today's the day #PRE-CHORUS Now they start chasing they attack Some approach they bite the flanks Soon the victim lies on it's back They tear off warm flesh with their fangs #CHORUS And blood stains the face of the carnivores The only justified killer is the carnivore #VERSE A dark pigsty filth and mud Some are sick some are dead in their faeces When they are let out get on the truck To the slaughterhouse they'll be cut in pieces #PRE-CHORUS Now they are gassed electroshocked They are slit open with a knife Some still awake when they are chopped They hang and bleed to death alive #CHORUS And blood stains the hands of non carnivores It's a moral obligation we're no carnivores #PRE-CHORUS We have lost touch with our food We suppress the unpleasant facts It makes me sick I think and brood It is never too late to act #CHORUS Cause blood only feeds the carnivore We have better nutrition solutions than ever before
