Look at yourself in the mirror Are you happy now? Look at yourself And the things your have done Look at yourself in the mirror Is this what you want? Look at yourself And the lies you have told Don't come to me With your bullshit once again Don't come to me I don't need you anymore Don't come to me I won't deal with your crap Anymore No Get the hell away Be gone Get lost now Get the hell away Be gone It's over Get the hell away Be gone Get lost now I won't deal with nonsense anymore I will break you down Look at yourself in the mirror Such a fucking dick Look at yourself And the mess you have caused Look at yourself in the mirror Are you satisfied? Look at yourself? And the blood you have shed Don't come to me With your bullshit once again Don't come to me I don't need you anymore Don't come to me I won't deal with your crap Anymore No Get the hell away Be gone Get lost now Get the hell away Be gone It's over Get the hell away Be gone Get lost now I won't deal with nonsense anymore I will break you down Every time you show up Makes me want to Throw up Everytime you show up I just lose it Fuck off now Look at yourself in the mirror Are you feeling sad? Look at yourself Because you've crossed the line Look at yourself in the mirror Do you know your place? Look at yourself You have learned the hard way Don't come to me With your bullshit once again Don't come to me I don't need you anymore Don't come to me I won't deal with your crap Anymore No Get the hell away Be gone Get lost now Get the hell away Be gone It's over Get the hell away Be gone Get lost now I won't deal with nonsense anymore I will break you down

Best Friend 05:16
You keep me on the edge of your heart And I wish you could let me love you But I know you will never let me get in And I ask why are you so hard to convince And you say you don't really know what to feel But you know deep down you are in love with me I just know you are lonely and insecure But you say you can handle things by yourself I say stop let me love you like you deserve I say stop before you lose me forever I just don't want to be your best friend I gave you all my love Don't waste it You talk to me late at night And that tells me you want more from me But I know you will never let me get in And I ask why are you so hard to convince And you say you don't really know what to feel But you know deep down you are in love with me I just know you are lonely and insecure But you say you can handle things by yourself I say stop let me love you like you deserve I say stop before you lose me forever I just don't want to be your best friend I gave you all my love Don't waste it What if one day I'm not there for you What if one night I'm not there to talk Again You want to keep me as your best friend And you know that my feelings are stronger But I know you will never let me get in And I ask why are you so hard to convince And you say you don't really know what to feel But you know deep down you are in love with me I just know you are lonely and insecure But you say you can handle things by yourself I say stop let me love you like you deserve I say stop before you lose me forever I just don't want to be your best friend I gave you all my love Don't waste it

Ice & Steel 04:36
I feel nothing is good enough And I'm trying to make things work But I'm getting close the edge Because I'm not satisfied with anything in my life All the people that care for me Are just trying to bring me down And I'm feeling the hate within Because I'm not going to be anybody's punching bag What do you want from me? I'm not here to please you All the things that you say Are driving me away What do you want from me? I'm not going to please you All the things that you say Are just driving me insane I won't let you do it My heart is ice and steel Just stop playing games because it's futile My heart is ice and steel Just stop playing games because it's pointless I feel nothing is worth the pain And I'm hiding inside my shell But I don't get the rest I need Because I'm not satisfied with people that surrounds me All the people that say they care Are just liars and hypocrites And I'm feeling the burn within Because I'm not going to be anybody's ragdoll What do you want from me? I'm not here to please you All the things that you say Are driving me away What do you want from me? I'm not going to please you All the things that you say Are just driving me insane I won't let you do it My heart is ice and steel Just stop playing games because it's futile My heart is ice and steel Just stop playing games because it's pointless What do you want from me? I'm not here to please you All the things that you say Are driving me away What do you want from me? I'm not going to please you All the things that you say Are just driving me insane I won't let you do it I won't let you do it NO!! I feel things could get even worse And I'm trying to end the pain But it feels like I'm wasting time Because I'm not satisfied with everything around me I want to find some peace inside So it's better to burn the bridge And forget that we once were friends Because I'm and sick and tired of dealing with your bullshit What do you want from me? I'm not here to please you All the things that you say Are driving me away What do you want from me? I'm not going to please you All the things that you say Are just driving me insane I won't let you do it My heart is ice and steel Just stop playing games because it's futile My heart is ice and steel Just stop playing games because it's pointless

Every now and then I hear your voice I comes to me when I'm lost It makes me feel the love inside Every now and then I'm moved to tears Because you're just so far away I just can't help myself What if you could fly my way I would give you all my love Until the end of time What if I could fly your way Loneliness would end tonight As I lay beside you Come to me I cannot tolerate this pain anymore I'm drowning in my tears Come to me I don't want to become a loner in this room I want to see you now Every now and then I see your smile It's odd because you're always shy You've gone through so much crap Every now and then we laugh and cry It's just our love that knows no bounds It comforts me inside What if you could fly my way I would give you all my love Until the end of time What if I could fly your way Loneliness would end tonight As I lay beside you Come to me I cannot tolerate this pain anymore I'm drowning in my tears Come to me I don't want to become a loner in this room I want to see you now Come to me I cannot tolerate this pain anymore I'm drowning in my tears Come to me I don't want to become a loner in this room I want to see you now Every now and then you disappear Because your life is just too much You hide inside your shell Every now and then you want to die Because you can't escape your life You want to bleed to death What if you could fly my way I would give you all my love Until the end of time What if I could fly your way Loneliness would end tonight As I lay beside you Come to me I cannot tolerate this pain anymore I'm drowning in my tears Come to me I don't want to become a loner in this room I want to see you now

Running your mouth Is all what you do You think you can Tell me what to do But it's a risk You'll eat up your words You can't pretend To know who I am You dare to come To say I'm a kid But you don't know All the work I do You better run Before I hurt you Run for the hills I will fuck you up Run away Far away Don't mess with me You have the nerve To come to my turf And tell me how To live my own life But you'll get burned If you get too close You need to learn You can't fuck with me I just don't care If you're family I'll mop the floor With you and your thoughts You better run Before I hurt you Run for the hills I will fuck you up Run away Far away Don't mess with me Say what you will But I just don't give a fuck Don't try to change me It's none of your business Fix up your own life Don't mess with me You had your chance To keep your mouth shut But you had to Screw everything up I won't let you Treat me like a child You've gone too far There's no turning back You have to fix Your own problems first Before you come To preach in my face You better run Before I hurt you Run for the hills I will fuck you up Run away Far away Don't mess with me Ahhh Run away Far away Don't mess with me Say what you will But I just don't give a fuck Don't try to change me It's none of your business Fix up your own life Don't mess with me

When I'm hanging out with you at your place We just talk and talk about anything Laying on your couch with you nex to me The worlds stops because no one makes me feel like you Sometimes we can go for a quiet walk Holding hands like lovers across the park Feeling all your love makes me want to live But it's just a memory that I cannot let go Why did we have to go separate ways like that? Why did we become just two strangers? When did we fall out of love and parted ways? What will happen if I see you again? Tears are falling down They form the shape of your heart Tears are falling down They form the shape of your heart Of your heart When I'm hanging out with some friends outside We just laugh and laugh about anything Drinking beers pretending that nothing's wrong The world stops when memories come crashing down on me Sometimes I forget all the things we said Maybe it's just a way to protect myself Feeling all alone makes me want to die But I'm stronger and I won't let it drag me down Why did we have to go separate ways like that? Why did we become just two strangers? When did we fall out of love and parted ways? What will happen if I see you again? Tears are falling down They form the shape of your heart Tears are falling down They form the shape of your heart Of your heart So out of nowhere you just came to me In pieces of letters you wrote to me Oh I know that I'm just wasting time Why I bother? When I'm working on a new song I wrote Sometimes I remember the two of us Lying in my bed, your head in my chest The world spins because I can barely hold myelf Sometimes I just wander deep in my thoughts Fragments of your face are so distant now Love is the one thing I wish I could get I'm still trapped in my cage I need to let you go Why did we have to go separate ways like that? Why did we become just two strangers? When did we fall out of love and parted ways? What will happen if I see you again? Tears are falling down They form the shape of your heart Tears are falling down They form the shape of your heart Of your heart

A long ago Someone found me He was a stranger His name was Stanley And I didn't know why He was interested in what I do And I didn't know how He would become Such a good friend of mine Such a good friend of mine Such a good friend of mine Such a good friend of mine I miss you Stanley He would ask me About my songs He would play them At his radio show And suddenly I Found out you were ill And just like that You were gone Such a good friend of mine Such a good friend of mine Such a good friend of mine Such a good friend of mine I miss you Stanley

Tireless, relentless that's who I am Hell-bent, passionate, unbreakable Driven, stubborn, forging my way Moving forward like a steamroller Hungry, ambitious, unstoppable Get in my way and you will get crushed Workaholic madman all day and night Nobody can stop me, nobody can try Don't get in my way Or you'll get crushed Don't get in my way Or you'll get crushed Nobody can stop me now Because I am a relentless beast Yeah Merciless, ruthless that's who I am Focused, rigorous, unrelenting Ferocious, implacable, uncompromising Tenacious, punishing, unforgiving Working and working that's all I do I work so hard that I cannot stop Discipline, purpose and commitment Nobody can stop me, nobody can try Don't get in my way Or you'll get crushed Don't get in my way Or you'll get crushed Nobody can stop me now Because I am a relentless beast

about

This is my tenth solo album. Dark, intense and deeply personal. It contains some of my most scathing songs. Some of my most heart-wrenching songs too. However, there is beauty on this album as well. This effort was done during a tumultuous period in my life and the lyrics reflect those profound experiences. I hope you enjoy this release. Thank you very much for your support.
