...Warm sweet embrace
You'll be safe in my arms 'til the sun will kiss you awake
Hand in hand with the fairies
Let the moon take the lid off your dreams

I take a breath,
It lingers upon the window pan,
The sky hangin' on outside:
The clouds are turning gray,
Dotted silver teardrops shatter on the ground
Etching their path across the skyline.

My eyes staring and I lose myself to the song of the rain,
While the world around is just a blurry likeness.

Flames born from a conscience slowly awakening,
A flare lit by the hunger,
A deep fathomless feel: there's more at stake,
Under the surface something silent waits...

A broken melody on a gloomy day in winter,
Through my words it takes shape,
Casting echoes to my head.
A secret lies within...
There is something I can't place:
It feels like a fear growing inside of me.

I'm traveling on a one-way track,
Like the soil years for the morning dew
My heart's longing for an answer.

Flames born from a conscience slowly awakening,
A flare lit by the hunger,
A deep fathomless feel: there's more at stake,
Under the surface something silent waits...

Flames born from a conscience slowly awakening,
A flare lit by the hunger,
A deep fathomless feel: there's more at stake,
Under the surface something silent waits...

I close my eyes and feel my heart pounding faster,
Still desire is burning in my head.
Adrenaline...
Like a fever it breaks through my brain
While everything around is growing dim.
Time lying still...

It feels like fire
The blood that's running in my veins,
Drifting as my senses melt together.

Every breath is a dance of a hundred feelings,
Light and dark: I get a glimpse, then all is gone,
Whisperings, but I can't shape my lips
Into words before they turn to silence.

Frame - painting my thoughts into
The visions growing inside my head.
Perceptions fast as light: can I trust the world I see,
The voices there all around me?

Waving silence,
A leaf carried away by the chant of the wind I float,
These feelings in my head,
Like shatters of life: is another one stuck inside of mine?

Something inside, chemical - born,
Senses prevail and I give in...

Frame - painting my thoughts into
The visions growing inside my head.
Perceptions fast as light: can I trust the world I see,
The voices there all around me?

Frame - painting my thoughts into
The visions growing inside my head.
Perceptions fast as light: can I trust the world I see,
The voices there all around me?

All is blur and haze before my eyes, my senses spinning,
Born in a corner of my mind, something... a flicker...
A sudden, strange reflection on the glass is swept away by rain,
I can see a child: is it real? A fancy? A dream?

A smile for me, those stranger's eyes,
But the look on your face makes me feel like home
And my heart sinking back on the way to recall...

Out of nowhere you came,
A clouded sky that's where my heart lies:
Show me the meaning of visions that took over me,
Help me, please guide me out of the dark
And let me find that with your light surrounding
I can break these chains in my head,
Unlock the memories...

Dazed, walking through the folds of time in search of your name,
Pictures of you in my mind: playing from my memory?
A dark room, the moonlight shining on your face...
That music's still there,
Filling your ears in the night, keeping your dreams.

A lullaby,
Unleashed sounds that made my memory revive,
It's the key to my doubts, it's the answer within.

Out of nowhere you came,
A clouded sky that's where my heart lies:
Show me the meaning of visions that took over me,
Help me, please guide me out of the dark
And let me find that with your light surrounding
I can break these chains in my head,
Unlock the memories...

And now I wonder about the air you breathe:
Are you lyin' in someone's arms?
Do you cry alone in silence?
I can't remember our life together.
Fleeting glimpses: all I've got to hold on to you.
I choke back tears,
Trying to explain to myself how I just could forget my son...

Out of nowhere you came,
A clouded sky that's where my heart lies:
Show me the meaning of visions that took over me,
Help me, please guide me out of the dark
And let me find that with your
Light surrounding
I can break these chains in my head.
Unlock my memories...

The taste of my tears,
Still pouring on a world that falls apart,
So many fears and questions crowd my heart,
Now that a flash coming from the past
Became a candle dying in my hand.
No way, no path to follow, into this fog I delve...

Days bygone lost inside my head,
Fingers slowly draw a face: it's already vanishing.
Slide my way through this dark charade,
Chasing starlight in the shades.

Now take my hand here in this darkness,
And paint it with your light:
I'm trying to find what lies behind...
My past... my memories...

I see all growing dim, drowned in a haze of gray,
I feel something devours my history.

Just losing grip on my senses,
On fine ropes I'm balancing,
Playing hide and seek with time and reality.
A mind forged reverie? I see hangin' memories,
Lying everywhere my eyes can reach.
But when I look back
There's just more black inside the black.

Days bygone lost inside my head,
Fingers slowly draw a face: it's already vanishing.
Slide my way through this dark charade,
Chasing starlight in the shades.

Breath, eyes and memory as one,
Time still going back and forth...
Shards of a life I once had:
Bring them together to trace the tale...

Don't let this dream fade,
Flyin' away from here on your butterfly wings,
I need more time to fix your features in my mind.

A bleak farewell:
You'll leave again,
My eyes just filled with the beauty of your face.

You seized my heart,
I pray we'll meet someday...
Maybe somewhere between here and awake...

Back, aware
A play of shine and shade relying upon a dream
And I try to find what's wrong with myself.
Trails and insights deviate my thoughts to a new discovery:
Of wasted time it tells.

A silent weapon for a quiet crime:
No wounds on my skin,
You crawl into my days to wipe them from my head.

Your hold over me,
Running through my veins
Smothering hope for a future,
Your hold over me,
Time has run, you paint my life
As a distant bleary shape.

Blind and deaf until I broke the veil.
You still hang over me,
Feeding on my spirit, on my past,
Day by day...

A silent weapon for a quiet crime:
No wounds on my skin,
You crawl into my days
To wipe them from my head.

Your hold over me,
Running through my veins
Smothering hope for a future.
Your hold over me,
Time has run, you paint my life
On a black pitch canvas.

Your hold over me,
You hide yourself in plain sight,
You're a ghost under my skin
And you hang over me
Like a bullet to my brain.

How many days have gone
With no trace in me?
No memories, no fate,
The lines I've drawn behind me led astray.

Your hold over me,
Running through my veins
Smothering hope for a future,
Your hold over me.
Time has run, you pain my life
On a black pitch canvas.
Your hold over me,
You hide yourself in plain sight,
You're a ghost under my skin
And you hang over me like a bullet to my brain.

Alone in the faint light, as night reaches dawn,
A sudden blaze breaks in upon me, now I know:
Drowning in circles my life passed me by,
For a new sun awakening another day fades to gray.

Years sink like prints in the sand,
The clock ticks, invisible hands wipe my past away...

Thousand lives,
Few minutes then everything'll rewind again.
A cruel merry-go-round
Swallows days into a nowhere past,
Back to square one and then?

So time can't be tamed,
It just keeps its course while my life's stopped...

Days like a dream washed away by the sun:
They come and go, nothing left.

Life's gone in a glance,
Time blinks its eye and all becomes memories,
The faces, the tears,
It all simply fades lost in the haze of everyday.

But when what's done is gone
What'll your next day be for?

Thousand lives,
Few minutes then everything'll rewind again, on and on,
A cruel merry-go-round swallow days into a nowhere past,
Back to square one and then?

Heir of dying memories a new self will claim its time,
In this turnabout...

Thousand lives,
Few minutes then everything'll rewind again, on and on,
A cruel merry-go-round swallow days into a nowhere past,
Back to square one and then?

In the end I pin my hopes on the dark heart of this pen:
Carve all that's left from me, don't let it fade,
Before I forget... again...
And waste another chance,
The sunset... one less to live,
A self about to break...

Bring back every memory
To find a way to be
Scars to read the past,
'Cause therein lies our name,
Am I doomed to die and fade?

Another page'll grow blank inside me,
Once more a torn little piece within,
God, I need to wake my lost identity,
So my world and my dreams may not fall apart.

Bring back every memory
To find a way to be,
Scars to read the past,
'Cause therein lies our name,
Doomed to die again...

Bring back every memory,
It's the only way to be,
Scars to read the past,
'Cause therein lies our name...
