The Makeshift Conqueror Pt. I

Verse 1:

Silently brushing the dust off my memories

Finding the words complementing my melodies

I’m rebuilding a man

That I once knew first hand

Crackpot ideas to prevent a catastrophe

Some of them turn out to be just a fallacy

But still I hold on

Till these demons are gone

Chorus:

May I break away from hanging on to yesteryear

May I seize the day shooting for the stratosphere

A makeshift conqueror am I

Strophe 2:

Mistakes that I made are reflecting right back on me

Hindering the process of becoming who I wanna be

Still the clouds must soon fade

No more rainy parade

Making up provisional solutions that tend to fail

Some of them may end up chasing a ghost away

No curtain call

Till I’ve exorcized them all

Chorus:

May I break away from hanging on to yesteryear

May I seize the day shooting for the stratosphere

A makeshift conqueror am I

Leads: Kötterl/Schafberger
