1. Divided
Our world is divided
start everything over
our happiness like two hands joined for a prayer
an old faded picture like stale bread
our world is divided
somebody once so close suddenly a total stranger
start everything over make the best of bad times
leave my mind
sleepless nights in an empty house
now whisper says the echo make sure that all is gone
our world is divided
somebody once so close suddenly a total stranger
start everything over make the best of bad times
leave my mind
through your human reason you will never see unity
between what is beginning and what soon will not be
I still can't understand how
somebody once so close suddenly a total stranger
start everything over make the best of bad times
leave my mind
2. Sleep With The Light On
Better watch your back.
is your mother there is your mother there
you are like a baby
better be a man better be a man
someone overhears all you say and do
does it bother you who is gonna save you
is your conscience clear
if there's nobody that you fear
why are you so weak that you must
sleep with the light on
shivering in the cold with nothing to hold
why are you frightened
are you running scared
if you must sleep with the light on
(you know you know you know you know)
you must have done something very wrong
something very wrong
better get a grip are you unaware
is another there coming to delete you
it's the enemy that you never see
you better beware when you're not around
see the solid ground fall away beneath you
is someone out there maybe a ghost from the past
you can hear all those things you said that make you
sleep with the light on
shivering in the cold with nothing to hold
why are you frightened are you running scared
if you must sleep with the light on
(you know you know you know you know)
you must have done something very wrong
something very wrong
you can't run away from yourself
what goes on in the dark is never out of sight
it will come to light
sleep with the light on
shivering in the cold with nothing to hold
why are you frightened are you running scared
if you must sleep with the light on
(you know you know you know you know)
you must have done something very wrong
something very wrong
you must sleep with the light on
shivering in the cold with nothing to hold
Who are you fighting it's the beast inside
if you must sleep with the light on
(you know you know you know you know)
you must have done something very wrong
something very wrong
3. In Too Deep
You make me see
the pain we left behind
we make-believe
we'll break the wall when it's time
grown within me, grown in you
matter of our dreams
all the ways are falling through
when you're in too deep
you're still turning to the one I used to be
I'm not over you I'm an afterglow
in too deep
all our past is gone but we've been here all the same
and I need you to know I can't cope with borrowed blame
grown within me, grown in you
matter of our dreams
all our ways are breaking through
but we're in too deep
you're still turning to the one I used to be
I'm not over with you I'm an afterglow
in too deep
don't you know what's wrong so many lies beneath
and I've been holding on too long
in too deep... in too deep...
you're still turning to the one I used to be
I'm not over with you I'm an afterglow
in too deep
don't you know what's wrong too many lies beneath
and I've been holding on for too long
4. Reasons
He's hurting
got the truth too soon
unplanned. no reason to drag it out of you
clever sleight of hand
never forget how your doubt can fade
the stories that we tell lead our way
but why do you feel so trapped
but why why does it still come back
why do we second-guess what we can really have
but why is all I ask
how far should I go
your thoughts are way ahead of you
how did your sky fall
something someone said was it even true
what do you long to find would it even help
the stories in your mind that never end
but why. do you feel so trapped
but why why does it still come back
why do we second-guess
what we can really have
but why is all I ask
but why do you feel so trapped
but why why does it still come back
why do we second-guess. what we can really have
but why is all I ask
5. Fire
I'm reaching too high but I know he will fall by my side
I'm fighting them blind but I know I will see his light
unfolding like a sun unfolding like a sun
I'm holding out my hand join me on my path
let this fire linger
I'm holding out my hand finding all I am
slipping through my fingers he's leading the way
over where we'll steal another day
we know what it takes never forgetting we're in a race
unfolding like a sun unfolding like a sun
I'm holding out my hand join me on my path
let this fire linger
I'm holding out my hand finding all I am
slipping through my fingers but I gave you all I had
let me give up where I stand
I'm holding out my hand join me on my path
let this fire linger
I'm holding out my hand finding all I am
slipping through my fingers
6. Every Time
Every time I know a chapter's ended
every magic potion's tasting sour
you see I have calculated
all the outcomes of this game
and I know that this is real
but just before I can say this
you let hope back inside me
and I know that old road takes me far away
where to go
the room is spinning around
you're there for me but I don't know
I'll take a shot in the dark
every time I need a new beginning
I just wanna feel things are adding up
I'm sick of all these surprises
all the times that I trusted
all those bolts out of the blue
I scramble out of this mess to find some place where it's safer
forgetting it's always you I'll stumble on
where to go
the room is spinning around
you're there for me but I don't know
I'll take a shot in the dark you lead me on
I know I'm nothing without you
hope my fire engulfs you
you're still there smiling on
I hate the way that I need you
how I just can't betray you
and the way back from the edge
leads into your arms
where to go
the room is spinning around
you're there for me but I don't know
I'll take a shot in the dark and you lead me on
where to go
the room is spinning around
you're there for me but I don't know
I'll take a shot in the dark
and you'll lead me on
7. Emotune
sadness and joy are two words, but just one name
ever since you went away
I'm waiting for a sign, I'd like to bring you back
don't know what to say
can't trust the silence that stayed a while in me
just to catch a breath
I heard it sing out in no language
what your one 'no' meant
words make lies, please read my thoughts
your one no breaks my world apart
words make lies, please read my thoughts
with one yes from you two parts become one
sometimes things that go on between us don't work out
like I want
it's 'cause instead of you I'm learning who I am
should have learned that by heart
sometimes you hear things I did not want to say
many words but no meaning
and I keep forgetting what really matters
what I really mean
words make lies, please read my thoughts
your one no breaks my world apart
words make lies, please read my thoughts
with one yes from you two parts become one
don't you ever think we're here
we're here to realize
that we really need
need no words
words make lies, please read my thoughts
your one no breaks my world apart
words make lies, please read my thoughts
with one yes from you two parts become one
8. More
all you could have is still not enough
every day it makes for less
you silence your thoughts to make the pain stop
no tears since lies are better to get
all you can have
but still not enough
burning your way higher and higher
you never care to look down
ambition swallows your heart's desires
you're watching it close this wall around
just to think the world could end today
picture yourself fading away
faced with the end you'd see the real sense
things you can have are nothing to gain
all you can have
but still not enough
just to think the world could end today
picture yourself fading away
faced with the end you'd see the real sense
things you can have are nothing to gain
9. Juliet
Take a secret on your way
there's too many things not said
there was no way out of this maze
so I shut the door on my thread
'cause all the lines we had to walk
they brought us back again
and all the times I thought I'd won
I knew you'd lose again
I hope one day you will understand
see the blade I held the vial you drank
I hope one day you will understand
see the blade you held the vial I drank
the horizon's drawing closer
and there's no one to help move on
I left all the chains you've broken
but I had to go on alone
'cause all the lines I had to cross
they brought me back again
and all the times I thought you lost
my strength came back again
I hope one day you will understand
see the blade I held
the vial you drank
I hope one day you will understand.
see the blade you held
the vial I drank
I hope one day you will understand.
see the blade I held
the vial you drank
I hope one day you will understand.
see the blade you held
the vial I drank
I hope one day you will understand
see the blade I held
10. All Alone
I can see the reason that you're leaving
fighting something you're not seeing
'cause I know I know it so well.
I can tell when you stopped trying
no way out you can't deny it
you just knew you know me so well
I know I'll see this day again
all will change, you don't know when
afraid to see me taking my first step
I'm recreated here again
can't reject this phantom pain
you burned all bridges and became someone else
all alone
you're on top of the game but...
all I know
I'm on top of the game but
all alone
I can feel the absence in me
feel it shaping me and brimming
and I know I know it so well
I remember hands not granted
nanoworlds I had invented
and you know you knew me so well
I know I saw your face again
crowds of people, one of them
I can't find you staying where I am
I'm recreated here again
can't reject my phantom pain
I'll burn all bridges and become someone else
all alone you're on top of the game but...
all I know I'm on top of the game but...
all alone all I know
I'm so alone
I'm so alone
all alone
you're on top of the game but
all alone
all I know
I'm on top of the game but
all alone
all alone
you're on top of the game but
all alone
all I know
I'm on top of the game but...
11. Your Name
don't ask me about this smile
I can't tell you what it is
another place, another life
don't know how it reached me here
now when we are perfect strangers
it all came back for one moment
all those feelings, smells and whispers
memories I thought I got over
one day I'll let your name out
like that night, in my sleep
everything is different now
but you're still a part of me
lying there, my eyes wide open
by the boundaries of your dreams
the air quivering, silence broken
that strange name fell off your lips
every night I count on your breath
to remind me where I am
cling to your warmth, hope your presence
keeps the clock from racing back
one day I'll let your name out
like that night, in my sleep
everything is different now
but you're still a part of me
all our love carves in, it will come back to haunt
I know I can't erase it, I have to go on
one day I'll let your name out in my sleep
though everything is different, you're still part of me
one day I'll let your name out
like that night, in my sleep
everything is different now
but you're still a part of me
one day I'll let your name out
like that night, in my sleep
everything is different now
but you're still a part of me
12. Bare Tree
Versagt im Wort
Im Traum zerflossen
Den Kelch des Lebens nur berührt
In einem Sog
Die Kehle mit dem Gift gefüllt
Den Körper und das Fleisch zersetzt
Die Seele leer getrunken
Am Stamm der Sehnsucht wund gewetzt
Erhitzt - verbrannt
Zu heiss - vorbei
Sehnsucht Ausgesetzt und abgeschoben
Den Samen in den Sumpf gepflanzt
Nunmehr da ich fühle
Bin ich Mensch und will ich auch sprechen
Am Fuss der Berge will ich knien
Will das Meer mit Worten segnen
Welcher Wind hat mich gerufen
Welcher Clown hat mich ausgelacht
So brauche ich den Namen nicht
Werde nicht gerufen
Noch werde ich Antwort jemals hören
Es ist der Traum der mich geführt
Und folgen werde ich bis in die Glut...
