Verse 1
You can't see me ´cause I'm good in the hiding
And I do ´cause I'm the only one
I am torn but they expect one climbing
the pile of work that ev'ry day life holds
Verse 2
But I can barely keep my secret
Too obvious how I appear
I can not sleep and the darkness taunts me
And with the dawn arrives my greatest fear
Pre
It brings me to my knees
Make it go away, please
Chorus
Doctor tell me why I
cannot sleep at night
Why‘s my soul so shattered now?
Doctor tell me why I
always feel afraid?
Can‘t you make me whole somehow?
Verse 3
Why should I be someone depressive?
Everybody said I was so strong
How could swallowing these pills now help it?
How could my life turn so wrong?
Pre
It brings me to my knees
Make it go away, please
Chorus
Doctor tell me why I
cannot sleep at night
Why‘s my soul so shattered now?
Doctor tell me why I
always feel afraid?
Can‘t you make me whole somehow?
Bridge
Those who never felt this they smile - cheering up
Still the sorrows keep piling up – piling up
Chorus
Doctor tell me why I
cannot sleep at night
Why‘s my soul so shattered now?
Doctor tell me why I
always feel afraid?
Can‘t you make me whole somehow?

Verse 1
He bites the bullet each day
Getting up and gettin‘ dressed and go to work
Still, there's no getaway
What has to be done he does it eather way
Pre
Yes, he 4.knows how .to .work .hard
Same time he is torn apart
No one knows what lurks inside
deep inside his heart
Chorus
Yes I – I think I am okay, but
Maybe I should not, but
I‘ll make it through the day!
Smilin‘ – I see them and smile with them
And maybe I should not, but
It will all be okay – someday!
Verse 2
She just finished work for today
Now a cozy home awaits her as she‘s drivin‘ there
The light of her shining kids streams towards her,
but it does not reach the darkness within.
Pre
Yes, she knows how to be there,
For the ones she loves so dear
No one knows what lurks inside
deep inside our hearts
Chorus
Yes I – I think I am okay, but
Maybe I should not, but
I‘ll make it through the day!
Smilin‘ – I see them and smile with them
And maybe I should not, but
It will all be okay – someday!

Verse 1
Here it comes
creeping again towards me. Why
do I carry this fate?
Am I marked?
What did I do to deserve this
condition that I bear?
Pre
Is this a punishment for anything?
Chorus
Forces disappear in a broken gear
Bring me to a halt
It is hard to stand to not be in command
When I hit asphalt
Verse 2
Did I do
something wrong or did I not do
a thing that I should have done
Darkest thoughts
come to me in the day, at night
I lie in my dungeon cell
Pre
Is this a punishment for anything?
Chorus
Forces disappear in a broken gear
Bring me to a halt
It is hard to stand to not be in command
When I hit asphalt

Verse
No sleeping in the car or in the bar
Just normal people
People who pay their rent, not renitent
Chasing their dreams
And on the other side of course they fight
for acceptence
But we all know that we all grow
From our means!
Chorus
What do you tell them? You tell them when they open
What are you thinking what you are supposed to do?
What do you tell them? You tell them when you open
What do you expext? You expect from them to do?
Bridge
And we all know what it is like to be a victim
A victim of injustice
And we all know what it's like to be an offender
Of unawereness
