Distractions 02:26
All you gotta do is distract me I don't need someone who'll blow my mind Just looking for a way to pass the time Not even gonna try to make you mine Just looking for a way to pass the time They say honesty is a virtue But you and me both know it's not true I do really wanna be with you, but only till i won't feel so blue I need distractions.
2.
There were decisions to be made It's too late, i'm in bed Sacrifices I couldn't afford I was lazy and bored Would you help be get out of my head? Don't want this feeling to be permanent. The future was so bright that i just lost sight Of all the things that matter most Was unprepared for the worst I've dug too deep into my soul and now i only have an empty hole Are you the piece to make me whole? If so, why don't you seem to care at all? Won't live my life as if i'm immortal.

Brian 02:23
Brian said he know that there's an answer but i was born 20 years later Tried to play piano on the beach but i just couldn't take the heat The boiling sand underneath my feet Brian said I shouldn't even talk I put my head on his shoulder as i walked to the sea of plastic bags Where all the former people hang I wish they would let me join their gang I got there they all turned quiet I felt so uninvited If I don't belong here then where should I go?
4.
Vertigo 01:55
Emptiness is sickness And no one even bothered to invent the ultimate medication So you got to figure out the perfect balance Between a functioning life, and a prison of thought Your hostility to the world, won't solve the equation on the board You'll have to suck your emotions in Until your head starts to spin around Vertigo Into the unknown It's a punishment Vertigo You'll never know How many things you did wrong Your head is about to explode Hallucinating in your office, puking on the floors You're just overwhelmed From the piles of shit in your life
5.
I don't wanna know if you're happier when I'm away Why would I pick a fight unless I know for sure that I'll win? I got a very good friend A liar I can trust Because at least he's 100% and never half this and half that Someone left coco on a paper plate Someone said he knows what we can do with it Someone's dad was sleeping soundly in his bed unaware
6.
A Terminal 03:01
You're stuck in a terminal Waiting for a departure Trying to catch a decent sleep Slouching in a chair You think you're sure you heard a voice calling out your name Announcing they're waiting just for you to board your flight The time is finally right But in reality no one knows what time it is or where your journey goes Hard to believe that in an airport as big as this there's not one single clock Drinking from the faucet in the men's room Straightening up to meet your face in the mirror You notice for the first time a grey hair in your beard Stuck in a terminal for who knows how long Do you remember at all? Numbers and letters on a board full of destinations all around the world But when you look into your heart, You know wherever you depart to, You're always there with yourself. So I suggest you shouldn't waste your breath Lying and scheming an illusion of meaning It is what it is Live your life while you're alive is your part
7.
Too Young 02:09
Little girl don't break my heart Twist my mind Empty my soul I noticed your gaze from across the room There's no point in playing it cool We are too young to sleep alone Little ghoul don't wanna talk anymore I'm just not that articulate But I can keep getting lost in your hair Lay your skull softly on my chest If it's for the best then why am I so depressed?
8.
The same expressions that held me back once before Are turning at me, ready to settle the score I always knew that after this I'll feel nothing at all Nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to call Hard to realize I don't have a car, don't have a job, don't have the will Dirty clothes, worn out shoes, but the guilt is there still I won't get out of my bed today but I bet you will
9.
The party wasn't fun so i took my brain for a run After three minutes it felt so sick So I pushed and pushed Tried to reach my limit But i was so scared Hiding under the bed all night long I hope, I wish, I really do, that I'm unstoppable I wanna be the strongest boy but I can't act the role
10.
Dr. Katz 02:36
You don't need reasons to be afraid He told me, head turned towards the distance He may have lost his youth and vision but not his wisdom. Too fat and old to climb the stairs She's still doing it 'cause someone has to When life is nothing but inertia can you blame her? I will never ever leave her Walking aimlessly all day long I can't stand to see her suffer She thought that if i believed i'm younger I would still need her But it don't matter 'Cause even if i'm really 14 It wouldn't change the way I'm feeling If you find someone who loves you don't let 'em go even if you have to.
11.
I would finally break if they'll bend my anymore Unable to resist the beasts who rule my home Keeping me alive as a jest Even in my own skin I am just a guest I can feel their hand underneath my dress Fingers on my thighs telling me to relax, That I was asking for this Even in my own skin I am just a guest. Keep trying to postpone the unavoidable The last straw will not be beautiful The longer I stay here the worse it's gonna get I can feel their hand on my neck If they'll bend me a little more i would crack Can dish but cannot take, If they'll bend me a little more i would crack.
12.
You said you spent your whole life waiting for anything worth repeating Who told you there was anything waiting for a boy who only locks his door? Staring at floors and ceilings as if you'd find some hidden meanings Who told you there was anything waiting for a boy who only locks his door? Who told you there was anything worth waiting for?

about

“II Men” is an existentialist day dream for all those who stare at the abyss and spit right into it - like a melody stuck in our collective mind, waiting to leap out and add some much needed color to the pale mundanity of everyday life - it won’t make anything go away but at least you won’t be alone in it.
