Malum

Träge, müde schleppst Du Dich
durch karges Land,
das Dich zerbricht
Vor Dir liegt ein weiter Weg
den Du zu oft gegangen bist
Keiner. Keiner.
Keiner verweilt.
Nun fragst Du Dich …
Warum für mich?
Warum nur ich?
Im Schatten lebt Dein wahres Ich
Der Zweifel wohnt in Dir
Dein Atmen schwach
und kalt vom Licht
Matt und dünn Dein Blick

She and her darkness

My heart weighs minimum a ton.
An army's feet pounding on my head
Maybe I'll wake up one day to notice
that all my life was just a dream...
And maybe I'll be better off without you.
You left me here with all my thoughts
I'd write a zillion words or walk a million miles.
I’d sleep on broken glass just not to lose your smiles
I travel for you around the world.
Collecting moments, o how absurd
To bring you beauty, to bring you joy.
I wish I'd be a little boy
Where is that silence you promised me?
Why is that distance so close to me?
Why is your violence still hurting me?
Why are your eyes avoiding me?
Let me say thank you for all that you have given me
Thank you for everything you've done
Forgive me for saying one last thing:
I miss you and I hope you hear this song!
I travel for you around the world.
Collecting moments, o how absurd
To bring you beauty, to bring you joy.
I wish I'd be a little boy
I'm dying for you, can't you see?
I'm lying for you to be free!
I hunger for you, 'cause I can't eat!
I'd vanish for you in defeat!

the Valley

Deep down in this river I'm sure I'd be free
I know I would shiver and surely could not see a thing
But maybe all that matters not
I might even remember what I forgot:
The reason of it and of it all
The rise and yes for sure also the fall
Let go of me my friend. You do not understand
The pain I'm going through is only because of you
So dark is my light
My demons were so right to leave me here
So painful my fight
as every night when I lay down to sleep
I listen to my heart
expecting it to stop its beating
but every morning sun
wakes up the sadness in me once again
You see now how it ends. I lay it in your hands
Take care of it my friend in case you understand ...

hiding rivers

Hiding your rivers
to color the grey
In her dreams she is hiding
for the shadows will stay
Does she remember
the grace of her light
Still embracing the sadness
and caressing the fight
Tell me you calm her
when she talks in her sleep
Promise you watch her
when she’s helpless and weak
Hoping she’s out there
letting go when you say
that you always will find her
when she’s daring to stray
Knowing in secret
Here you belong
My heart keeps on beating
as the days will move on
Tell me she dances
like never before
Have you seen how she dances
not to cry anymore
Tell me she dances
so the heart feels less sore
Have you seen how she dances
not to cry anymore

the Plague
04:50

Pretty face
you think that you can hide
behind this mask of yours
Prison cell
you can not keep me here
Silent waters are deep you know
I cannot see the man that you can see in me
I cannot kill this guy not even if I tried
I think I need to run to make myself a home
I need to separate the living from the dead
This is the mind you came to fight
Call it fateful!
Don't be a plague, a spell to kill
You should be grateful!
Pathetic fool
you do not see this curse
could be a blessing in disg uise
Little malady
I found your fatal trace
that led me to your hideaway

hell in Eden
05:19
|

|
Lass mich los
und lass mich fallen
Es wird hell in Eden
Fang mich auf
und sprich ganz leise
Sag mir, alles wird gut
Immer auf dem Weg
Immer auf der Hut
Immer einsam
und doch nie allein
Immer auf der Flucht
doch nie angekommen
an einem Ort
Um mein Leben gerannt
Immer am Abgrund
und weitergerannt
Weiter und weiter
Die Zeichen verkannt
Weitergelaufen
Weiterverbannt
Weiterversteckt
doch niemand erkannt
Weitergezogen
Ohne Verstand
Ich bin nicht mehr ich
hab mich umbenannt
Gestern und morgen
Immer gehetzt
Worte verschluckt
und Bedeutung verschätzt

Is this your true world definition
you cannot help, where your help is not wanted!
You cannot escape from your reality
Give me more of your salvation
Hello, are you listening to me?
Hello, why don't you speak a word to me?
I tried to see you in my future
I tried to find you in my past
Let me feel your recognition
I can taste the way you look
I guess it was the right decision!
My thoughts are my bible, that's by what I live
You live your life between these worlds
Color twists around your body
You and I got lost in rainbows
Our dreams were never made to last

Traumtänzer
04:47

Die Zeit steht still in diesem Raum
doch merken's andere Menschen kaum
Es steht die Luft hier in der Schwebe
als ob der Wind auch nicht mehr lebe
Die Stille schmerzt in meinen Ohren
Ich wünscht ich hätt Dich nicht verloren.
Während Träume sich erinnern an die Zeit vor unserer Zeit
vergißt Du alle Sorge, was Dir ein wenig Kraft verleiht
Du enthältst Dich vieler Dinge, erklärst Dich klug als Philosoph
Du entehrst so viele Dinge, bist Dir hörig wie ein Zof!
Wirst Du mich nie verstehen? Wirst Du denn nie verstehen?
Hast Du noch nie gesehen wie meine Augen glitzern?
Keiner mag Dir mehr vertrauen, schenkt kein Wort Dir edler Gunst
Siehst Deinen Schatten schon verschwinden dort am Horizont im Dunst
... denn es ist Zeit, für eine neue Melodie,
für eine neue Phantasie, für eine neue Harmonie
Ich stehe auf und geh nun fort an einen fremden, fernen Ort
Gesichter reden auf mich ein So werd ich nie zu Hause sein.

the Colors of Grey

This is my color. This is my legacy
Take what you need and leave me behind
This is my offer. Take it or leave it
End of all games
Without me it all remains the same
Come here and live my life. As if it's yours my friend
I know it's hard So hard to understand
And you let me beg you. I am tired and weak
Let go of my hand. I feel no regret
Tell me please
Where do you come from?
And let me know the price to pay
I wish I knew where I belong to
How did you find me anyway?

the Secret
04:46
|
|||
|
Have you not seen how I hold on tight
Did you forget that I feel your blame forevermore
Did you give up now for nothing
I feel so fragile, so numb inside. My heart is sore
Why has the poison taken hold of me
It is no secret, the noise in me will never die
There is no antidote, I have no cure
My light has withered. I say no more. I can not stay
The door is locked, I’m sure
My hands are clean
My keys are on me
I check again
I’m always tired
I never want to sleep
My dreams bedevil me
My breath is never deep
I am my best friend
I am my biggest enemy
That is who I am
That is nothing I can change
I force myself to speak,
feel insecure
Too scared of people
in awkward silence
I feel so paralyzed
but still I speak
I’m disembodied
I need to run away
