Tracks



01. Light Your Stars

The sunlight reflects in your eyes
Your tears ceased to flow
You're back in balance
The fallacies leave you alone
And your nightmares are replaced by reality

You're floating away
Right up and over the barriers and borders
Boundless and free is your mind
It took ages for you to feel this way again

Light your stars
You could stand the fascination
And you're falling weightlessly
To close your diary
Light your stars
You could understand relations
And you're falling weightlessly
Until the diary is done

You're leaving the fear far behind
And you're trying to battle with great temptation
Like maggots, it's eating at you
Do you pray at night, you're strong enough to resist?

You're tossing in bed
And all you perceive is a blurred world in strange lies
Tearing the visions all down
Defeated your so lost in tranquillity

02. No More Doubts

In the beginning it was just a glimpse
Far too fleeting to care about
But I can still remember the initial traces of your change

Then you became so adaptable
No deviation from your ways
Like the world in your eyes is just spinning inside of you
There's only you and you and you

There are no more doubts in you
It's a repression of your past
Sometimes it shows you're insecure
I still can read between the lines
There are no more doubts in you
Have you forgot to dream at last
Sometimes it shows you're insecure
You died inside

When I'm thinking of days gone by
You were so curious about the world
You never needed reasons to simply fly off-hand

Being the epitome of ignorance
Does it really suit your plan?
Where's the contempt that you would actually show yourself

03. United And Lost

We're walking along the infinite path
While we are shaking from the fear inside
It's rising gently and thin
But we sense nothing, we don't feel a thing

If I know what you would say next
What I could tell you - you know too
So we stopped talking,
Now we're holding back silent screams

And if we fall consistently
You are always a part of me
And as we crawl into uncertainty
We were always united and lost

The words that tried to bring us back
Are still rebounding, you just look away
Positions are shifting from day to day

We are still walking along that infinite path
But we go forward, not side by side
And we're not listening to the silent screams anymore

04. Failing Breath

I never thought this day would come
I did not know all hope was gone
Shattered in a lost eternity
I never wished to drift away
How could I feel at home again
With all the things you said, upon my mind

There is so much left to say to you
Unspoken words won't change the truth
I doubt that words change anything at all
What if we could turn time back again
Would we do it all the same?
And until now the bitter chill remains

The failing breath is familiarity
I think I see your smile vanish afar
The failing breath is my fragility
The pieces left behind is all we are

Your heartbeat is too far away
There's no place where I can stay
Picture of a dream I can't deny
All at once I hear your voice
Another scene and still you cry
I would have given all to share your pain

But now you run and you will hide again
The lonely days may never end
I'll try to find the courage from day to day
Your fears are always close to me
In time I'll catch my failing breathe,
But the air around me will belong to you

05. No Tears

At a second glance
You thought you recognised despair
For a fraction of a second
You were searching for a reason
You pretended cheerfully,
But instead you tried to hide away
When everybody's laughter
Seems to rip you all apart

And your life carries on the same
And your life will be the same

Going back again to see
Stages from the recent past
But everywhere you turn
There is no chance to continue
Nothing really holds you back
From stepping through that yesterday
For every new beginning
There will be some other end

And when you cry there are no tears left for liberation
You don't listen to your own explanations
There are no rules you left behind from your desperation
There's no need to fear the way, that you've led

You'll run again,
Faster than you've ever been
You don't feel the cold,
It's never been like this before
Determination in your eyes,
Now you don't know the reasons why
You can't say goodbye
But you never really said hello

07. Schreit Dein Herz

Wieder stehst Du hier
So reglos, jeden Tag
Und nichts geschieht um Dich herum
Alles schweigt um Dich herum

Der Regen stört Dich nicht
Dein Blick bleibt stumm und leer
Und Du suchst nach der Erinnerung
Doch was bringt Dir die Erinnerung

Der Krieg in Deinem Kopf
Erreicht Dich längst nicht mehr
Denn Du weißt, wer hier Verlierer ist
Wieder mal Verlierer ist

Unverändert stehst Du hier
Seit viel zu langer Zeit
Und die Erde dreht sich ohne Dich
Die Welt bewegt sich ohne Dich

Schreit Dein Herz
Konntest Du es je verstehen
Hast Du Dich gesehen
Schreit Dein Herz
Kannst Du nicht mehr weitergehen
Hast Du Dich gesehen

08. Be My Rain

When you fell into my arms
Appearing so frail, if you ever were
And you told me a thousand things
I've never dreamt about
When your eyes fell grey
Could it be I made them shine for awhile?
Now you're gone, as if you ever meant to stay

Be my rain
Be my rain
To wash the pain and the truth away
Be my rain
Be my rain
Embrace my world, everlasting

We were talking through the night
No one could say a word
Of what had passed or should be said
As if time stood silent,
The dawn never came
And the skies are empty
Since we stopped

Far away,
We cannot share the love within us
You're far away,
And rising up to start again

09. For A Moment

Dimensions are shifting
Burning holes in my direction
The habit of lightness disintegrates
Reconciliation fails,
I'm passing by within a whisper
Everything appears a false delight
But in vain, I turn away

For a moment we paused without a reason
Could there be another way?
In free fall, but rising to the ceiling
Now there's nothing left to feel

Obsession is hypnotising
It's so hard to look away
It's still unclear, if you are genuine
The door is locked and bolted
Somehow, you keep on reminding
As tensions ease, I'm finding no relief

10. Stop Pretending

An unbelievable distance
That you can't overcome
You thought you could bear to the end
Everything that was precious
You had lost at once
You thought you could keep it all your days

The day has come to stop pretending
So tempting that you can't resist
The fantasies are never ending
You're escaping for a little bliss

Lost the ambition,
To straighten out your life again
All that you want is to sleep
You've never been superstitious,
But you can't go through this again
Trying to find deliverance

You fall
And another intention opens-up
You fall
And your heart has let go its secrets
You fall
For the first time your feet touch the ground again
You fall, you fall

11. Wonderland

I thought it was a usual morning
Just like every day before
I looked into the sky
But something there was strange
Nobody in the streets
The day was bright,
There was no sun at all
Black ashes in the air
Riding on the wind

With rubble on the ground
I caught the scent of burning
With no flames glowing anywhere
I felt the cold instead
And it seems that my worst nightmare
Suddenly became reality
But this has gone beyond,
Far beyond imagination

I'm living next to the edge
Under radiating skies
Living close to the end
Of wonderland

Maybe you simply wanted too much
Might be you simply went too far
The excuses will not change
What no one's there to hear
You're probably insatiable
You never cared for anything
What doesn't belong to you,
Is beneath your dignity

Your speeches are a flood of lies
You never even realised
The contradictions,
Are they all the same to you?
You're doing fine,
You think you'd like to be
The master of every thought
So you're playing like a God,
But who created you?

12. Trauma World

The unavoidable desire to take you home
Like suffocating all my clearest thoughts
It seems like yesterday when we lay here side by side
But it's countless nights ago that it passed away

In a trauma world
Discovering all the depths in which we stand
In a trauma world
Fighting our achievements every day
In a trauma world
The truth is so surreal and incomplete
In a trauma world
Sifting through the memories in our heads

When I held a fragile hand that sorry day
Not feeling cold inside, uncompromising
As if romancing all night long in our imaginations,
Then one second changed our lives eternally

Understand me if I take you into my arms
Please forgive me if I am searching for your heart
Do you hear me when I'm crying every night?
I must start again

13. Wenn Du Gehst

Deine Blicke wandern ziellos im Raum umher
Du liegst schon lange hier
Und atmen fällt so schwer
Für einen Augenblick fällt Licht auf Dein Gesicht
Doch die Wolken sind zu schnell für Dich

Wenn Du gehst
Kehrst Du nie zurück
Aus Deiner Welt
Unfassbar schön

Wenn Du gehst
Bleibt ein Teil zurück
Und nie erlischt
Dein Stern für mich

Und die Erinnerung an längst vergangene Zeit
Zerklüftet unser Hirn und unsere Ewigkeit
Der Kampf ist lange schon verloren, die Zeit steht still
Von Dunkelheit bist Du erfüllt
