Release Lyrics

It´s hard to talk about it
I´ll try to do it well.
He couldn´t live without it
live without the swell,
He had no mother, no father
only friends that pined away,
no girl, that was strong enough
to lead him on a better way.
He was alone in a world of confusion.
He was alone in a world of disillusion.

One early morning
he looked at the sparkling sky.
He packed up his things
and told the junk good bye!
He went on the road
with a rock´n roll band.
But nobody cared,
nobody had a helping hand.
He tried to live with the others,
almost saved from the gutter.
Sunglasses covered his eyes
and made them think that he was
telling lies -
"I´m so sorry, that we treat you like a crazy fool,
I´m really sorry, that our hearts are freezing cold!
Back in town fixing dragged him to the ground.
There wasn´t anybody
who helped when he cried.
Nothing he´d got and nothing
he left behind,
so he died.
