FRANK NEEDS HELP LYRICS

1. Shade

There is no solution
Can't release something from unknown authorities

No turning back

The complexity of power - most of them will fall on their knees without it being recognised
Their own fault - brought to heel, they're slaves to their own greed

2. Dear Thoughts

This is a war
This a battlefield
Raging inside of me

Help me

Dear thoughts
Why do you hate me so much?
You allow these demons to whisper in my ears
They keep repeating what I am afraid of
They keep repeating what I am afraid of

I try to run away
But I can't flee from myself
I try to hide
But I always find me

I sink when I think
And I think when I sink

It seems so easy to stop
I am the one at the wheel
But somehow, I have no control

This is a war
This a battlefield
Raging inside of me

Help me
I can't find a way out of this darkness
By myself

Tell me
Who's fighting with me?
Who causes these wounds?

3. Mammon

[feat. Ryan Kirby]

They call me king
I've reached everything
Bow down before me and kiss my feet
King - I've reached everything
The mountains you climb are not as high as mine

I burn dollars - just to watch them burn
I am beautiful - that's what the surgeon says
Women's skin is what I like to smell
They scratch my back and scream my name

Love me - admire me
Your dreams are my reality

Lies - all lies

The truth is - I am dead inside
Broken
Weak

I drank the water of society but my soul still thirsts for more
And if I had everything they want to own
My heart would still be empty

Rescue me

Under pressure
Under pressure of ideals and performance expectations since my young years

I thought
I've reached everything
Still I have nothing but a broken soul
King
I've reached everything
Everything's nothing - I'm a slave of my "success"

I am a teacher who has never been taught
I am a father who has never been a son
I am a castle with closed doors
No one can see the inside
I was looking for the life everybody dreamed of
I found it, it's a nightmare

4. Disease

Terror to the living nature
'Til our own obliteration

Not just suicide
Besides harming what we need to survive
We bring suffering and death to our fellow beings

Suffering and death to our fellow creations
Driven by selfishness and the lack of emotional warmth

Exhausting the source of life
There is nothing more important than us
Exhausting the source of life
If there's no instant harm, where is the problem?
Exhausting the source of life
The greed drowns our prudence
Exhausting the source of life
One day, we'll pay for everything we've done
Sadly, not every culprit - just the last of us

Change will be to late
No salvation

We are the cancer on our mother's skin

Exhausting the source of life
The greed drowns our prudence
Exhausting the source of life
We'll pay for everything we've done (everything we've done)

Misbehaving like an outrageous guest
Creating a mess, despite being marvelously hosted
Her tears of disappointment and sorrow
Will turn into an outburst of rage

Disgusting
All the pain we cause
And the scars we leave
Mother - when it is no longer bearable for you
I'm sure you'll find a cure to erase us fungi

Wipe us off your shoulder when it's time for you to heal

5. Pretender

Denial and hate

Your head is full but your heart is empty
Your voice is loud but your spirit is silent
Looking for words to serve the masses

You want to build a bridge where you built a wall
You want to heal their scars with knives and swords
Why don't you collapse under your own dishonesty?

You're looking for persecution
You're looking for the opposition
Even if it's not there, you'll always find it
You just need something to point your finger at

You're a power-hungry product of hate
Trying to suppress the past
You're a power-hungry product of hate
Hoping for recognition

Pretender!

Write a verse on the anchor tied to my feet
I'm still gasping
You're not gonna save me

You're a robot in an ignorant culture
You're a puppet looking for strings to pull yourself

You think you're an ambassador
But it's just a neuroparasite
You think you're an ambassador
But there's just a parasite in your head

You're a power-hungry product of hate
Trying to suppress the past
You're a power-hungry product of hate
Hoping for recognition

You won't save yourself from drowning

How can you carry on?
How can you carry on like this?

6. Eternal Longing

[feat. Colin Staeger]

Endless wandering
In the woods of insecurity
Looking for a way out
To find a place to rest

Tired legs from chasing rays of light
In hopes of finding a gate
To escape this empty space
Exhausted from obscurity

I was sure, outside I'll find the potion of existence
Finally, I'll be relieved from this fucking malady

Illusions
Nothing changed
Took a bite of an apple rotten to the core
A deceptive hope out of desperation
The only thing I felt was suffocation

I've had to learn
That time can't cure eternal longing
That time can't cure eternal longing

Salvation

But what could I do to achieve the goals I've learnt to strive for?
Better stop running after something you cannot catch

In the wake of the obscure, the shadows come crawling in
Staring faithlessly ahead, doubting memories of past
Far out in the sea of dread, almost drowning from the weight of regret
A glance into the future, uncertainty of the light to come
Forlorn at hand, for misery can't be undone

Where am I?
Reeling in a dense fog
I can't find a path
Try to prospect back in the woods

It seemed so dark
I used to hide it from myself

Take a flashlight
Shine a light at your surroundings
Look closer
And find the beauty of those common colours

Ignored the essence of fulfillment
Driven by fear

Salvation

7. Hermit Heart

Time flies by
It feels like
You have to cut a part of your heart out
And throw it in the bin of oblivion
With the side effect of getting dull (getting dull)

Those well-known roads, you won't walk them down with the same vivid mind
Nothing will prepare you - you get thrown in at the deep end (the deep end)

Back in the days, experimenting with the engine of life
Fueled by the emotions I had
No damage expected

But failure and adverse impact waiting behind the doors
But failure and adverse impact waiting behind the doors

Surrounded by prejudice and hate
A shell for protection began to grow
A shell for protection began to grow

Confusion - disturbance
I feel the havoc in my head
The genesis of insecurity

I wish there was a chance to warn my former self

Back in the days, experimenting with the engine of life
Fueled by the emotions I had
But the damage of failure and overestimation
Made me bring that fuel back into the basement

8. Persistence

Why should I continue a puzzle
With way too many pieces missing?
What if we can't get any further?
Will it be worth it?
Or just trying in vain?

This house will never be built.
These walls will fall again and again.
Cannonballs of inhumanity break down our construct of peace.

We are builders standing in the line of fire.
We keep building on (keep building on)
We'll pick up the pieces
And try to fit them in
This all may sound senseless - but a small roof also protects from rain

No surrender
Even if there is no way to turn the tables

Light up
This dark place
To find the ones to suffer

We live in a reality where peace is an illusion
We live in a reality where peace is an illusion
But I'd rather adhere to an illusion
Than being passively involved in a bloodshed

9. The Circus

I am a clown, I can't stop smiling
I am a clown, I forgot how to laugh

I am afraid of being afraid
Draw a smile on my face and I'll be the king of this role play
No one can see the slave behind it

Bury me and my happiness
Sadness is what I long for

What have we become?
Nothing is real
Nothing is true
Where is our honesty?
Our image becomes our personality

Welcome to the circus
Where the clowns are crying behind the curtains
Welcome to the circus
Where faces are smiling and souls are weeping

I am a clown
I cause you to laugh
Even if I don't know what it actually feels like
I am a clown
I can't stop smiling
But I forgot how to laugh

Don't tell me how I should feel
Those feelings are the result of this chaos
It's hard to always deliver as expected
Don't force me to smile when my head is at war
Give me back the freedom I need
Let me take off my mask
Let my tears be physical again
I'm not a robot - I'm still human

10. Trapped

Get out of my head

Fuck!

The wheel of thoughts has me again
I'm trapped in a prison of fear
Release me

I'm just a sketch drawn by my own nightmares
Me versus me
This is the worst pain I've ever felt
Days become nights and nights become days

Come near! Come near!
Tell me that I'm still alive
Come near! Come near!
Teach me how to breathe again
Stay close! Stay close!
Don't let my lungs collapse
Stay close! Stay close!
Tell me who I really am

Break these chains

And as their eyes are closed, mine are open wide
The more I think the less I understand
As I whisper my prayers, she whispers his name
And as he drags her to bed, he drags me to my grave
Buried alive

Their happiness is my anger
Jealousy and frustration are conquering my mind
I am afraid of myself
I am afraid of myself

I want this pain to end

Let me be an overcomer
Let me be a conqueror

Come near! Come near!
Tell me that I'm still alive
Come near! Come near!
Teach me how to breathe again
Stay close! Stay close!
Don't let my lungs collapse
Stay close! Stay close!
Tell me who I really am

I'd rather hear nothing than these demons in my head
