Mayday Songtext
von Chonny Jash

I′ve gone too far
I pushed too hard
I ran my miles
And found I'd wound up back at the start
I′ve gone too far
I'm being pulled apart
I strayed myself until the sound of now drowned the past

I can't breathe
I can′t see
I can′t seem to stay me
So I scream mayday, mayday
I'm screaming mayday, mayday
Isn′t there anyone here?
But the cries fall on no ears


I've sunk again
My luck is spent
I found my path
And sprinted down as fast as I can
But I went too far
I cut and cornered ′round the bends
I can't turn back
Now I′ve lost sight of where it begins

I can't sleep, I can't think
I can′t reach above me
So I scream, silently, mayday, mayday
I′m screaming mayday, mayday
Another birthday spent in tears

Once counting up, now I count down the years
As Atlas collapses
And Icarus' wax is destroyed
And the pillars dissolved
Betrayed by synapses
An addict relapses
And Hercules loses his hold

I sped off without care
The wind flying through my hair
But now the breeze just makes me cold
I′ve finally broken down
Smell the sickening, smoky scent of burnout
Memory turned a prophecy foretold


The dust is finally settling
And through it's clouds, I see
Me, me, just me
With tears flowing down in streams
And the unyielding urge to scream

Mayday, mayday
I′m screaming mayday, mayday
I'm screaming mayday, mayday
I′m screaming mayday, mayday
Thousands of people will hear

Delayed facsimiles will ring crystal clear
But reverberations don't carry the same weight
By the time the echoes hit them, it'll already be too late
So this S-O-S is solely for me
I am to whom I scream

Mayday, mayday
I′m screaming mayday, mayday
I′m screaming mayday
