liquefied
02:22
|
|||
|
running down the drain
and on down the river
to the shore and on
into the sea
running down the spine
shudder and shiver
there ain't a single one
we can keep from running down
running down the cheeks
the tears of reflection
a liquefied self
dripping down to the floor
running down the drain
we're losing connection
over the edge, out of sight
and out of life
down the cheeks
down the spine
on and on
down the drain
running out of sight
running liquefied
running down the drain
running down the drain
out of sight
out of life
down the drain

the night we met came to my mind again these days
you told me about your life, your childhood near the pines
i asked some stuff about your friends in school, your parents and your plans
you never told someone, they didn't know
you should have stayed the same
you tried too hard
you should have stayed the same
it's too late
you should have stayed the same
but your decision's made
i hope you don't regret
'cause it's too late
how many shoes do i wear down before i'm able to run
i'm able to run
i wonder why my dedication has stayed the same
since your descision's made it's too late
but now i understand your plans
and all has stayed the same
i hope you don't regret
'cause it's too late

wading
02:18
|
|||
|
tear out all the rotten planks
even ships retire
smell the moisture in the air
forevermore
keep your head up
while the water tries to reach your chin
think of where your claims belong
forevermore
wading, wading, wading forevermore
wading through the dark cold water
waiting for someone to come
wading and still waiting
on and on

dependence
01:55
|
|||
|
my breath for you
you are the only one, the only answer
i took your time
connected from now on to past and future
too true to be a different kind
too tough to recognize what has been set
too true to be a different kind
too tough to, enough to...

creation and decay
05:32
|
|||
|
creation and decay
raise and close your eyes
determined, ineluctable, fade away
walk on down the crooked path
he closed his eyes and walked on down the path to the riverside
time to ask for another life
he sunk down to the muddy ground and cried out for another life
time to fade away
all great ideals fade away
in creation and decay
all bright colours turn to grey
all your ideals fade away
born to want it
born to get it
born to lose it
born to fade away

breath of clarity
02:24
|
|||
|
if i tried to run from my everyday-anxiety
down the roads, up the hills, trusty buildings guarantee
some space for my thoughts, my insanity
i breathe in, i breathe out for more clarity
tomorrow's terrifying me
i can't use my capabilities
it follows me and swallows down my thoughts
my anxieties
if i tried try to run from my everyday-anxiety
I'd pass places that once belonged to me
some space for my thoughts, my insanity
i breathe in, i breathe out - breath of clarity
breathe in and out
for more clarity
stay, my anxiety
breath of clarity
breathe in and out for more clarity
breath of clarity
it follows me and swallows down my thoughts
breath of clarity
stay, my anxiety

cloaks
03:22
|
|||
|
my feet won't lead me back there
step left step right to nowhere
behind dark glasses there is cold
wrap yourself warm
all maps seem to be useless
no cloaks can cloak my madness
behind dark glasses there is cold
keep yourself warm
cold and quiet
you're acting like your words don't count here
cold and quiet
you're acting like everything is
cold and quiet
you're acting like your words don‘t count
cold and quiet
you're acting like you're moving backwards
i've found a new sensation
in cold and isolation
i've found a new sensation
isolated everything gets cold
a new sensation
in cold and isolation
i've found a new sensation
feels like i'm moving backwards

clockworks
04:55
|
|||
|
running out, running out of time
dead years, ambitions in decline
and the clockworks that are spinning in my head drive me mad
and the clockworks that are ticking in my head drive me mad
running out, running out of time
loss of dreams that used to be mine
and the doldrums that are pushing me off track drive me mad
and the doldrums that are keeping me off track drive me mad

a dead truth
03:38
|
|||
|
give me a touch,
a lasting truth,
an evidence for the existence
of an everlasting youth
i can't get you out of my mind
i can't get you out of my life
alluring whispers from the past promise a whole truth that will last
and stay by your side till the end
the dead are calling out your name and you still don't know who to blame
it's time to welcome alteration as a friend
this is the very last goodbye
a promise, a swindle, another empty try
this is the very very last goodbye
likely, maybe, a creeping in the night
this is the very very last goodbye
hesitation, frustration, just another try
this is the very very last goodbye
a lost youth, a dead truth, a whisper in the night
