YOU ARE NOT ALONE +++ Spoken words 1 +++ When I was a little girl, I was afraid of sleeping alone in my room. My mommy always had to bring me to bed. I wanted her to take a look under my bed and in my closet to make sure There were no ghosts or monsters. Every time she did it and reassured me that there was nothing there, I could sleep without any fear. She sang me lullabies about a woman in the moon. That’s how she protected me from danger, Bad people and all the evil of this world. +++ Spoken words 2 +++ Now I’m grown up and I know that the monsters are not in my closet Or under the bed. They are in our smartphones, computers, In the papers and on the TV… And maybe soon they will be in my head… +++ Verse 1 +++ You lie in your bed, confused about the things you see around you, But be sure, nothings really, really bad Close your eyes, feel free to dream the sweetest dream you’ve ever had You’re kept safe and warm – no bogeyman for you +++ Chorus +++ You are not alone – we’ll take care of you We’ll keep you safe in our arms – no bad signs for you +++ Verse 2 +++ You love your boyfriend and he loves you too We’ve told him, don’t leave her, make her dreams come true To see the whole truth, please watch more TV (sweet meals for your mind) We’ll keep you informed in real-time HD +++ Chorus 2 +++ You’ll never be alone – we’ll clean your mind of dirty and evil thoughts We are the voices in your head until you’re dead +++ Final +++ As long as we’re allowed to reach into your brain, (And your thoughts and your mind) You’ll be given the secret of a life without pain And what brands you must wear before trends ebb away (I promise) You’ll be ok!

+++ Verse 1 +++ Paint and colors fade to grey Living on the edge, living on the edge Dust, smoke, bad bad signs See them coming out of the sky +++ Chorus +++ I have to run, follow the sun Escape the night, toward the light I don’t ever look back ’cause the night is black And they’re coming to get you Too sick to go back I see bad signs +++ Verse 2 +++ Run ‘n’ run, no chance to hide Demons are bigger tonight Dreams of sadness in my mind Symbols of darkness gotta fight +++ Chorus +++ I have to run, follow the sun Escape the night, toward the light I don’t ever look back ’cause the night is black And they’re coming to get you Too sick to go back I see bad signs +++ Verse 3 +++ Paint and colors fade to grey Living on the edge, living on the edge Dust, smoke, bad bad signs See them coming out of the sky

03 DNA 04:51
+++ Verse 1 +++ The walls of the room I sit in Get closer and closer to me I’m trapped in this dungeon of grief With all these sad feelings and there’s no relief +++ Verse 2 +++ Whenever I try to break free Something inside me is holding me back Now I’m my own worst enemy It’s a fight with myself nobody can see No matter what scientists say +++ Chorus +++ Fear is hard coded in my DNA Fear is hard coded in my DNA +++ Verse 3 +++ And maybe I should give up But this little spark just refuses to die It’s harder than I ever thought So tell me, is there still a chance for me? (I’m coming down) +++ Verse 4 +++ Who knows what goes on in my mind I have to unlock my secret some day Can I chase away my own ghosts Or in the end, will I go insane? No matter what scientists say +++ Chorus +++ Anger’s hard coded in my DNA Anger’s hard coded in my DNA +++ Chorus +++ Fear is hard coded in my DNA

Never! Never!
