Tracks



01. The Quiet Resistance

I dug this hole in the backyard.
The quiet resistance.
I spilled my eyes on a red dress.
The quiet resistance.
I dug this hole in the backyard.
The quiet resistance.
I spilled my eyes on a red dress.
The quiet resistance.
I dug this hole in the backyard.
The quiet resistance.
I spilled my eyes on a red dress.
The quiet resistance.
I dug this hole in the backyard.
The quiet resistance.
I spilled my eyes on a red dress.
The quiet resistance.

02. Caught In The Middle

Boiling panic
I'm alone, caught in the middle
Raving envy
It is all I have
Anxious moments
I'm feeling lost, caught in the middle
Yearning, longing
'Cos it is all I want

Brutal power
It keeps me locked, caught in the middle
Raging danger
And I have lost control
Dying, I'm craving
I'm still alone, caught in the middle
Killing passions
And I have nothing left

I want to know what it takes to find
Some peace of mind
There where I want to be
Yes I know, nothing comes for free
Just let me see
What is right for me

Burning poison
Here I am, caught in the middle
Chocking venom
Is taking all I have
Blackened visions
They keep me trapped, caught in the middle
Missing pieces
I don't know where to go

I want to know what it takes to find
Some peace of mind
There where I want to be
Yes I know, nothing comes for free
Just let me see
What is right for me

What's it like to be the best
What does it take to make it last
Many doubts have crossed my mind, but I know I have to try
What's the point in giving up
When you know you'll never stop anyway

Now I know what it takes to find
My peace of mind
It's right here in front of me
Yes I know strength will be my key
It comes for free
It is right for me

03. Afterlife

Don't shut your eyes to me
I want to make you see
Our destiny, how it's supposed to be
And let the darkness fade
Find comfort in my shade
'Cos you're not alone, no you're not alone

Can we see, can we feel when we're in the afterlife
Do you know, how I know to believe in you
Because I do
Can we hope, can we love, can it be our destiny
'Cos I'm listening
Yes I'm listening
To you

Now don't you close your eyes
Stop telling me your lies
Don't live in fear, 'cos I won't disappear no
I hope you understand
I'll lend a helping hand
So come to me, 'cos I will set you free

Break the silence
Fill this emptiness
And hope for better days

Can we see, can we feel when we're in the afterlife
Do you know, how I know to believe in you
Because I do
Can we hope, can we love, can it be our destiny
'Cos I am listening
Yes I am listening
To you

Don't break me now
Don't tell me that it ends
Let us find another way to make amends
Don't hate me now
Don't turn the other way
'Cos there's so much left for both of us to say

04. Whenever

If I could tell you
That you're the only one to blame
It doesn't matter 'cos you wouldn't change
'Cos you don't listen
And you don't even feel ashamed
So I don't feel the need to point your way

One day you'll see it's not meant to be

Whenever you're sorry you just make up a story
'Cos you can't admit that you were wrong
Whenever you're sorry you just make up a story
And I saw it coming all along

And you keep saying
That you don't want to live like this
But then you go on like you always do
And when I listen to all the foolish things you say
I just feel the need to walk away

One day you'll see it's not meant to be

Whenever you're sorry you just make up a story
'Cos you can't admit that you were wrong
Whenever you're sorry you just make up a story
And I saw it coming all along

So many years I have been blind
Whenever, wherever
I've let you break this heart of mine
And now I have to draw the line

05. If You Could

Sadness fills up my empty heart
But you are the one that stole my tears
Safe in your arms I found my peace
Oh and I'm so alone with all my fears now

Not crying
Lying
To find my way through

If you could see me
If you could hold me
For one last time I'd be okay
But you just left me
You took your chance and slipped away
(You softly slipped away)

I try to find it in my heart
Something to slowly carry on

And I'm still crying
Lying
I can't seem to find my way

If you could see me
If you could hold me
For one last time I'd be okay
But you just left me
You took your chance and slipped away

And I know you are gone
But it's so damn hard for me
Though I know you are gone
You are always on my mind

See me, hold me
I promise I will be okay
If you could hear me
Would you answer me today?

If you could, if you could see me
If you could hold me
For one last time I'd be okay
But you just left me
You took your chance and slipped away

If I could only get the chance to tell you
I'm growing stronger everyday
If you could hear me
I'd try to tell you in a way
One day I'll be okay

06. High Enough

Bring me back
To the times I can't remember
I'm holding on
To that feeling we have lost

I need to breathe
'Cos these spaces are too narrow
I've lost control
Over frame and state of mind

Don't you know it seems like forever you belonged
To me, to me
Together forever
Was a promise that you let me make

Can you take me high enough?
Won't you bring me down?
I will never know what you really show
Let me go
'Cos you can't take me high enough

You're free from me
Is it what you always hoped for?
And do you know
That you'll leave it all behind

I'm so confused
I thought what we had was special
But all is gone
And you knew it all along

It seems like forever I belonged
To you, to you
Together for always
Was a promise you left here to break

Can you take me high enough?
Won't you bring me down?
I will never know what you really show
Let me go
'Cos you can't take me high enough

I never told you nothing
No promises were made
And I don't owe you anything at all
You meant nothing to me
Now stop and let it go
Both of you couldn't take me high enough

You can't take me high enough
You won't bring me down
I will always know you will not let go
We both know
That we can take it high enough

07. Say

It makes no sense
The way you talk
How far you've come 'till now
Sure of your lines
How to decline
It's obvious you've lost

Don't tell me you're not aware
Don't say I'm not aware
Don't you say I'm not aware
Don't tell me you're not aware
Don't say I'm not aware no

Say it like it is
Say it like you mean it
Words are strong enough to say you care
Say it like it is
Say it like you mean it
Words are strong enough to make you swear

When all is gone
And all is lost
How can you still stand strong
Sure of your lines
You still believe
It's obvious you're lost

Don't tell me you're not aware
Don't say I'm not aware
Don't you say I'm not aware
Don't tell me I'm not aware
Don't say I'm not aware no

Say it like it is
Say it like you mean it
Words are strong enough to say you care
Say it like it is
Say it like you mean it
Words are strong enough to make you swear

08. It's Over

I am waiting
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe
The pain stays too long
Yet I linger
And point my finger
The hard way
The urge to run is strong

Every time I close my eyes
Every time I try to hide
The panic builds up inside
All the things I left behind
Are taking over my own mind
I know it's over now

Sometimes I cannot remember
I played with open cards
I tried so hard to surrender
It's a shame

How come we cannot erase all the pain
Why aren't we strong enough to overcome
Undone, it's driving me mad and insane
Is there some other place where we belong?

And now I'm hating
And I'm creating
This nightmare
That goes on too long
Hanging on to
To what is untrue
I can't leave
The need to stay is strong

Every time I close my eyes
Every time I try to hide
The panic builds up inside
All the things I left behind
Are taking over my own mind
I know it's over now

Sometimes I cannot remember
I played with open cards
I tried so hard to surrender
It's a shame

How come we cannot erase all the pain
Why aren't we strong enough to overcome
Undone, it's driving me mad and insane
Is there some other place where we belong?

It's taking over me
I am too blind to see no oh
I'm on the edge about to take my final jump

I'm not in charge at all
The shade's too dark for me oh oh
I've crossed the border I'm about to fall

09. I Live

You and me
A guarantee
All I know
And all I long for
You look at me
And let me see
All I need
And all I long for

Stay with me
Open your eyes
And let me save you
Trust in me
I won't let go

'Cos I'd give my life for you
And I'd die right here for you
You are the one
We're one and the same
You are my life
Just call out my name
And I'll lead you through this open door

Here we are
No not so far
From where we left
From where we started
Take your time
And don't let go
You'll know for sure
That I'll be with you

Stay with me
Open your eyes
And let me save you
Trust in me
I won't let go

'Cos I'd give my life for you
And I'd die right here for you
You are the one
We're one and the same
You are my life
Just call out my name
And I'll lead you through this open door

The bridges that we've build are strong enough
The way we live, connect as one
And when I look into your eyes I'm free
It's all I know, it's all I need

10. Stay With Me

Don't you understand?
Didn't you just listen to me?
I will never find
All that I came here for
It's time to understand
It's time to recognize the pitfall
Need to change my ways
Directions I'm going in

Breathe with me
Come fill me, hold me, take my hand and stay with me
Honestly
I cannot carry on if you won't stay with me, no

I sacrificed it all
Even all my great potential
Pushed through every door
I've lost all my will to try
Now I understand
I will never never make it
If I don't believe
This dream will come true for me

Breathe with me
Come fill me, hold me, take my hand and stay with me
Honestly
I cannot carry on if you won't stay with me, no

These boundaries we will overcome
All this time we fought so hard and now
We'll make it and I won't let go
So I just need you to

Breathe with me
Come fill me, hold me, take my hand and stay with me

Agony
Won't fill me, hold me, take my hand and stay with me
Honestly
I cannot carry on if you won't stay with me

11. Rush

Drifting off, about to rush
Nothing straight here anymore
I am falling, flying high
Nothing's larger than the sky, high

Away
I am loosing sense of time
Delay
In a world where nothing's mine
Today
Everything that's wrong is right
I've gone astray
But I will hold on tight

Mindset's changing, vision's blurred
Wicked spirits pouring down
Another fix, a triple dose
Makes it warm beneath my nose

Away
I am loosing sense of time
Delay
In a world where nothing's mine
Today
Everything that's wrong is right
I've gone astray
But I will hold on tight

Today, I've gone astray
In this rush there's no delay

Away
I am loosing sense of time
Delay
In a world where nothing's mine
Today
Everything that's wrong is right
I've gone astray
I'll float towards the light

12. Release Me

Tunnel vision, body's freezing
Anxious moments, don't stop breathing
Uninvited black intrusions
Taking over all confusion
Boiling panic growing stronger
I am falling, common pitfalls
Drifting off and I keep sinking
Going crazy, who will save me?

Wake me up
And let the light take over
Let it stop
I'm losing sense of time so
Wake me up
Please kill this everlasting
Insane rock
I am about to scream

Release me
Relieve me
Release me

Drawing lines but they keep moving
Flashing image, growing darkness
Eyes wide shut, the urge to run
When all is lost and all is gone

Wake me up
And let the light take over
Let is stop
I'm losing sense of time so
Wake me up
Please kill this everlasting
Insane rock
I am about to scream

Release me
Relieve me
Release me

[Instrumental]

14. Allein

Freiheit
Es ist vorbei
Ich werde immer bei dir sein
Fertig
Bin ich mit dir
Bis zum Morgen sitz ich an

Du bist
So ganz allein
Das Schicksal hat mich angelacht
Unheil
Hör wie es schreit
Wenn Sie singen Ihre letzte Melodie

You will deny, won't agree but you're uninvited (Du bist allein)
And let me assure you I am not alone (Nur allein)
I will deny, won't allow
We'll remain divided

Tiefe
Die Einsamkeit
Es ist so weit, aus, vorbei
Kraftlos
Hab keine Angst
Wenn Sie singen Ihre letzte Melodie

You will deny, won't agree but you're uninvited (Du bist allein)
And let me assure you I am not alone (Nur allein)
I will deny, won't allow
We'll remain divided

Du gehörst zu mir
Ich entscheide wann und wie du gehst
Du hast keine andere Wahl
Sie sind einsam und allein?allein
Nur?allein
