Years pass and I am always here looking at myself in the same broken mirror
Who no longer reflects my gaze, rather spits at me
No more room in the drawers, fuck dreams
Claws out that life beats at the hips with hooks and uppercuts
And all you have to do is take them, give them back
Thinking about how many mistakes you have made without apologising
You have no alternative, no way out
Here you become the pack leader or the pack puts you in line
Never turn away, never spare yourself
When the last cough comes you will thank yourself
And you will be ready, strong as a flower born on the asphalt
Under this leaden sky that leaves no escape

Under this leaden sky that leaves no escape
That leaves you no escape

Don't stay here looking at me any longer
Forget that you are my fear
They are devouring our bellies now
They are here for us
They are here for us

Years pass and I am always here looking at myself in the same broken mirror
The eternal conflict at the gates
The network, the rent, the missing job, the instalments, the bank
Death takes you in consort, we will live on hardship
Fairy tales always start out shitty, in the end everyone is happy and contented
I will no longer leave room for fear, perhaps
Or maybe I will leave forever, even if forever does not exist
I learnt this through kicks, slaps taken and given
After sleepless nights and stifled cries
Never turn away, never spare yourself
Never expect anything, nobody does anything for nothing
Always remember, the rule is this from day one
Respect for all, fear of none

Respect for all, fear of none
Of none

Don't stay here looking at me any longer
Forget that you are my fear
They are devouring our bellies now
They are here for us
They are here for us

Don't stay here looking at me any longer
Forget that you are my fear
They are devouring our bellies now
They are here for us
They are here for us

Don't stay here looking at me any longer
Forget that you are my fear
They are devouring our bellies now
They are here for us
They are here for us
