Infinity 03:35
take me back to the place where my hidden self stays until I find my way to fight infinity my hidden self, it stays for me there’s no time to hesitate don’t know how much I can take what if I can’t wait if it doesn’t stay for me what if I cannot wait would you please stay for me when I have reached that place where my hidden self stays I will have found a way to fight infinity my hidden self, it stays with me there’s no time to hesitate don’t know how much I can take what if I can’t wait if it doesn’t stay with me what if I cannot wait would you please stay with me infinity take me back some places lie somewhere in my mind some vision changed, the other‘s denied I followed its tracks for so many times and in the end it's been right by my side there's no time to hesitate don't know how much I can take what if I cannot wait would you please stay right by my side

they come into my room at night they gather around my bed they paint pictures on the inside of my head on the inside of my head a picture of me a picture of my death last night, in the dead of night I was woken up by a whisper they took me by the hand and led me to the inside they showed me how to paint pictures on the inside of my head a picture of mine a picture of my death

Mind Circles 03:19
clocks are ticking, wheels are turning no escaping gates are locked and eyes are closed I‘m so lost now streets are empty, are they empty? are you empty? close to me or far away not even closer trapped in endless circles water's flowing, fire's burning which one do you choose? hearts are beating fast always try to keep up your decision, my decision how can we decide if there is nothing left that makes the difference? keep up trapped which one do you choose? trapped in a circle trapped in endless circles why am I to decide about more than my own life when I don’t know how? how do I get rid of my circled mind? I go round and round can't break out but I won’t give up

changing lines nothing to disguise hold on hold onto the words of yesterday while you are trying to save them forever changing lines nothing to disguise hold on hold onto the words of yesterday while you are trying to save them forever turn this page and change the line what’s spoken seems to be unspoken turn this page and take a breath what’s spoken seems to be unspoken turn this page and take a breath what’s spoken seems to be unspoken turn this page and take a breath what’s spoken’s suddenly unspoken turn this page and change the line unspoken suddenly spoken

fear no darkness turn the lights out walk the distance fear no motion fear no darkness turn the lights out eyes adapt there’s no devotion fear no fear and fear no darkness turn the lights out fear no motion fear no fear and fear no darkness turn the lights out fear no difference into the dark into unknown lands closed eyes make the difference one simple choice would be to turn around and run darkness, it follows you darkness, it follows me one simple choice would be to turn around and hunt darkness, it follows you darkness, it follows me I can’t deny it follows you I can’t deny you it follows me

everyday the world is spinning faster no chance to keep up anymore falling back into the darkness left behind and left alone surrender to the growing shadows welcome darkness, welcome solitude endless gazing at the night skies longing for the dark side of the moon the next day the cave was empty seek the shadows, avoid the light illumination, a constant threat greedy searchlights cut the night everyday the moon is spinning faster no will to keep up anymore an endless flight from the separator longing for the dark side of the moon avoid the light and seek the shadows longing for the dark side of the moon

the signal’s lost, silence communication breakdown total silence communication breakdown I can’t find a way to you through the white noise connection lost a shot down satellite a call into the void another unheard cry I try to talk to you but words collide and tumble leave their tracks and come down break and crumble on the ground true communication breakdown the power’s low the way too long lost in a maze the walls too high to overcome I try to get to you my feet collide and I tumble I leave my track and come down I break and crumble on the ground

Dissonance 03:07
restless eyes and trembling hands frozen time and static watch hands waiting for you waiting for the time to come gotta calm down, gotta hold on waiting for you it’s all said and it’s all done the clock is whispering on and on waiting for you, waiting for you there is nothing left to do but waiting for you to go away torn apart, but not able to rip dissonant needs, shivering lips spit out words, beg you to stay scream at you to go away

Just Then 04:55
I remember all surroundings, higher buildings and I felt so lost, while the traffic lights went by didn’t even listen I remember certain laughter songs I haven’t even listened to for many years but I know them by heart run and dance dance and run hide or seek which one do you choose? did not try to keep up with others learning to be all by myself and not to become upset but to try out something new it feels right in the everyday carnage the only choice: fight or flight hiding deep within the corners in order to survive leave the shadows tear down the masks leave the corners deny the cast take forever more than ever now or never because it takes time to learn how to dance all by yourself no confusion no illusions I just want to dance all by myself tonight until morning light comes up

lost in my night thoughts wandering through the shadow lands caught in endless self-talks no concessions, no agreements I am all on my own but I am not alone embrace the night on my own creatures of the night surround me not alone join them on their trail embrace the night in my night thoughts wandering through the shadow lands endless self-talks the creatures take me by the hand the creatures take me by the hand and lead me to the heart of the shadow lands where I can hide from the morning light be on my own and embrace the night
