| Battered and Bruised Time: 7m07s Guess I had to be kind of blind not to see / How it was bound to be in vain / Hung around for the plot to thicken / While being stabbed again and again / This time I’ll burn all bridges leading back Cause I’m not sure I’m strong enough / I simply have to bail / I’m fare to frail to be at the receiving end / I feel torn apart and abused / Battered and bruised / I guess I’m stupid to nurture an addiction to hope / But it’s not my only vice / I surrendered again thought things would change / Now imagine my surprise / This time I’ll burn all bridges leading back / Cause I’m not sure I’m strong enough / I simply have to bail / I’m fare to frail to be at the receiving end / I feel torn apart and abused / Battered and bruised Words & music by Mårten Kellerman. Produced, recorded and mixed by Statemachine and Fred Caelou at Jennifer's and FBI Studios, Stockholm. Additional keyboards, guitars and programming by Fred Caelou.

| Heal Time: 3m45s. Tempo: 110 BPM [Listen] Sat down to write a book / But all that came out was one lousy line / Couldn’t make up the story in time / It was twenty years ago today / The paper’s still there in the typewriter / And I can still remember that very first line / Maybe all that I grow is a hole in myself / All I accomplish is lost on myself / Yet all I feel is the way i heal / Maybe all I can grow is this hole in myself / But then maybe I don’t mind losing myself / When all I feel is the way I heal / I'm the dot at the end of the trail of debris / Been filling my void with semantic debris / Now all I feel is the way I heal Words & music by Mårten Kellerman. Produced, recorded and mixed by Statemachine and Fred Caelou at Jennifer's, Stockholm 1998. Assisted by Magnus Sundström. String arrangements by Magnus Sundström (The Protagonist).
