Hey, pretty face you think that you can hide behind this mask of yours
Hey, prison cell you can not keep me here Silent waters are deep you now
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!
Hey, pathetic fool you do not see this curse could be a blessing in disguise
Hey, little malady I found your fatal trace that led me to your hideaway
I dared to believe what you said in your sleep but a master at this even lies under tears I never felt home in a life of regret Your embrace was so tight that I woke up at night
I feel my tears of joy revealing my relief Finally home Finally home Finally here on my own!
I did speak out loud but my voice was too weak so my whisper decayed in the silence you left Inhaling the truth, digesting the past If one thing’s for sure then that nothing will last
Give back what you took, give our wounds time to heal My eyes remain closed, as I’m counting the days Now I’m paying the price of forsaking my strength The last thing I said a bitter good-bye
A nation of rebels feels the breath of brutal lungs with guilty defendants and a judge with false ideas. Whatever you believe was invented for control What on earth is faith for if not to blind out liberty?
We celebrate our fate I’d never dare to cease from you We lost what we had found Gave up our precious hope
Tangled in the traps of life rejecting help from others A creature born in sadness will die in sadness too
You’re better be off as a fool than (as) a subject in denial Regardless of what we fear, a struggle now is worth a try I think that I can forgive, but surely I can’t forget I try never to look back, I drown in my reality
I dread the panic within your tight embrace I ban the violence from my feeble frame
Choose your weapon and go to war instead!
Anchor me in a sea of silence Harbor me with my restless mind
I live revenge with my second skin I feel the echo pounding in my head I know this feeling deep within It makes no sense to hide from what you are
Malice, I dare to linger Malice, I won’t attempt to flee Malice, just for a moment Malice, to bundle all my rage
Poorly gifted I still try to reluct Let me surrender my weakish sense of bliss Kind of awkward to find this faith in you Torn between extremes Please meet my state of mind
Please accept my reason for being born to grant my last request My malice never fails
I read the words you send me Addicted to the joy of someone’s caring I cannot help it but hunger still fore more How beautiful to learn back and smile out to the world Make peace, Mr. Conscience says to me I take a moment And figure out the spell I let go of all my doubts and open up my heart Come in and conquer what you find be sure that I don’t mind
So here I am All the shadows did return Release me from this room that I call home And bring light into the darkest of all hours and guide me back to the holy ground of life
Yes I know it is difficult to find some answers to enter and see my secret world Be patient and feel trusted in return Be gentle with this heart of mine, it still is torn in pieces
What is this fever that makes me tick? What is this anger that makes me tick? What is this hate that makes me tick?
I feel my disgust like a taste of a sin I feel my remorse like I have never been in this dead end solution, this mortal condition Now facing the face of my saviour’s good-bye
Please take this one last assignment Turn silent my friends Welcome fate We’re in this together
What is this pain that makes me tick? What is this fear that makes me tick? What is this noise that makes me tick?
Take the crippled mind next door What do you think this room is for? You came to test my sanity You had to learn my mind is free
You came to talk but you don’t listen I try to walk but craw instead
You know the secrets of aggravation You know the flaws of every soul
So tired of surviving So sick of being hunted So sick of being silent These words need to be heard
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 how it ends I lay in your hands Take care of it my friend in case you understand …

(Nachruf auf einen Toten)
Einst war schillernd stets Dein Glanz
Brachtest Licht der Welt aus Schatten
Wo der Himmel auf die Erde trifft
bleibt kein Horizont zum Atmen
Der Erde Blut vereint
mit dem Donnern der Giganten
Wir atmen tief das Leben ein
dort, wo die Heimat keiner kennt
Es blendet uns zu sehen
und schmerzt uns, Dir zu lauschen
Doch scheint es so, als würd es hier
nichts geben mehr als Rauschen
Schliess die Augen sanft, mein Kind
und bleib in meinen Armen
Ich trage Dich hinweg
durch diese alte Welt
Wir lassen alles hinter uns
und weinen keine Träne
Wir träumen von der Freiheit
die uns nie wurd zuteil
(Three letters)
So sick of being friendly
So sick of being nice
So sick of being thoughtful
You think I hate my kind
So sick of all the liars
So sick of all your words
So sick of all you cherish
You think I hate my kind
I fall down my knees
and kiss your holly feet
You noble majesty
I end here in defeat
I beg you to forgive
I, son a thief
have to confess a sin
I stole the skin I’m in
So sick of explanations
So sick of revelations
So sick of your disease
You think I hate my kind
So sick of what I feel
So sick of compromises
So sick of how you look
You think I hate my kind
Life goes on
Hey, pretty face
you think that you can hide
behind this mask of yours
Hey, prison cell
you can not keep me here
Silent waters are deep you now
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!
Hey, pathetic fool
you do not see this curse
could be a blessing in disguise
Hey, little malady
I found your fatal trace
that led me to your hideaway
I dared to believe what you said in your sleep
but a master at this even lies under tears
I never felt home in a life of regret
Your embrace was so tight that I woke up at night
I feel my tears of joy
revealing my relief
Finally home
Finally home
Finally here on my own!
I did speak out loud but my voice was too weak
so my whisper decayed in the silence you left
Inhaling the truth, digesting the past
If one thing’s for sure then that nothing will last
Give back what you took, give our wounds time to heal
My eyes remain closed, as I’m counting the days
Now I’m paying the price of forsaking my strength
The last thing I said a bitter good-bye
A nation of rebels feels the breath of brutal lungs
with guilty defendants and a judge with false ideas.
Whatever you believe was invented for control
What on earth is faith for if not to blind out liberty?
We celebrate our fate
I’d never dare to cease from you
We lost what we had found
Gave up our precious hope
Tangled in the traps of life rejecting help from others
A creature born in sadness will die in sadness too
You’re better be off as a fool than (as) a subject in denial
Regardless of what we fear, a struggle now is worth a try
I think that I can forgive, but surely I can’t forget
I try never to look back, I drown in my reality
Yes I find rest when I feel your breath
Cleaning my dirty pores
when I sense the wind in my hair
I find rest when my eyes swallow beauty
when my body - gently disappears - in the sea of life
Oh what a pleasure,
Oh what an honor,
to be here, to feel, to regret
Too seared to say of word
Our worlds have always collided
Our worlds have never been one
Would you drown with me, out there …
in the deserted sea?
Would you walk with me till the end of time,
and see with me what no-one (else) has seen?
Please don’t look at me like that
It feels like you’re killing me
Please don’t touch my skin like that
as if you’re not here with me
You are the chosen one
Maybe not the only one
You say you hold you breath
until you feel alive again
Your hair is grey, your childhood gone
You dance around and sing along
The tune you hear inside your head
A theme like this must be your own
Dear friend, I have no illusions
You owe me a pretty apology
I’m facing the last necessity
of leaving it all behind
My home is where my heart died
Don’t listen to what they say
I may be your best friend
and I know you feel the same
I dread the panic within your tight embrace
I ban the violence from my feeble frame
Choose your weapon and go to war instead!
Anchor me in a sea of silence
Harbor me with my restless mind
I live revenge with my second skin
I feel the echo pounding in my head
I know this feeling deep within
It makes no sense to hide from what you are
Malice, I dare to linger
Malice, I won’t attempt to flee
Malice, just for a moment
Malice, to bundle all my rage
Poorly gifted I still try to reluct
Let me surrender my weakish sense of bliss
Kind of awkward to find this faith in you
Torn between extremes
Please meet my state of mind
Please accept my reason for being born
to grant my last request
My malice never fails
My words may seem cruel
At times I regret …
When my tongue is in rage
I tend to forget
But life remains the same
What have we become?
A cynical crowd?
Sarcastic and tempted
Why are the so proud?
but life remains the same
but life remains the same
Congratulations - you’re so pitiful
Congratulations - you’re so immature
Congratulations - you wasted my life for yours
There are things in life just can’t foresee
Incidents and accidents
You blame the world for your pain
but life remains the same
There are people that try to manipulate
They want you to believe …
to follow their path
but life remains the same
but life remains the same
I read the words you send me
Addicted to the joy
of someone’s caring
I cannot help it but hunger still fore more
How beautiful
to learn back
and smile out to the world
Make peace, Mr. Conscience says to me
I take a moment
And figure out the spell
I let go of all my doubts
and open up my heart
Come in and conquer what you find
be sure that I don’t mind
So here I am
All the shadows did return
Release me from this room that I call home
And bring light into the darkest of all hours
and guide me back to the holy ground of life
Yes I know it is difficult
to find some answers
to enter and see my secret world
Be patient and feel trusted in return
Be gentle with this heart of mine, it still is torn
in pieces
What is this fever that makes me tick?
What is this anger that makes me tick?
What is this hate that makes me tick?
I feel my disgust like a taste of a sin
I feel my remorse like I have never been
in this dead end solution, this mortal condition
Now facing the face of my saviour’s good-bye
Please take this one last assignment
Turn silent my friends
Welcome fate
We’re in this together
What is this pain that makes me tick?
What is this fear that makes me tick?
What is this noise that makes me tick?
Take the crippled mind next door
What do you think this room is for?
You came to test my sanity
You had to learn my mind is free
You came to talk but you don’t listen
I try to walk but craw instead
You know the secrets of aggravation
You know the flaws of every soul
So tired of surviving
So sick of being hunted
So sick of being silent
These words need to be heard
This artificial comfort
A shiver my spine
What is that declaration
that you carry on you skin
I take you by your clammy hand
Come see the scene of the crime!
We celebrate the deed with laughter
but to be honest (we) look the same
A cripple in the bathroom mirror
How did he get inside my house?
I look at him and gently shiver
I think I’ve seen this man before
I never dared to doubt
I want to scream out loud
You say that you’re my friend
I fear I understand
If you’re the one I fear
I wish you were not here
The world outside can’t hear
me anymore they all
forgot to listen too
the sound remains unheard
What is this beauty for
if not to want some more?
Keep screaming though you won’t be heart
I know it really sounds absurd
I hear the screams and feel your cries
but your lips don’t risk my sacrifice
The voice I hear, the man I see …
I understand he must be me
Forsee, forgive me!
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 how it ends
I lay in your hands
Take care of it my friend
in case you understand …
