4. A New State Of Mind
5. Tracing the Line
1. You
You cannot love ...
You cannot give -- only taking ...
You're a slicker ,you're colder than ice, you think only of yourself
You lie, you play, you drive fast cars
you're smoking and drinking and you throw with money only around you
You are a boaster, a liar
You
do only that, what you like
You kick someone's feelings with your feet
You
spit on her good-naturedness
For you the others were just dirt
Your wife and your children and yes even your mother
everyone is bullshit for you
You are involved in dark business
but you know, that nobody can prove it
You are an ass-hole without heart
You know it isn't great to be called like that!
You never make your hands dirty, live on cheatings
Your life is only a great lie
All your friends were only buyed from you
You are so blind, I hate you
Why have you changed in such a way
as if you would have sold your soul to the devil
You are the bad one in human form
But you don't care, you need nobody only yourself
I never want to see you again
Fuck your shadow and remain happy
for the rest of your life
2. Shadows of You
I see shadows dancing around my eyes
But there’s no one really there
So I keep walking along my way
before they crawl into the back of my head
but the floodlights of the daily show
leave only shadows of you
And we only see, what we want to see
But the truth itself remains unseen
There’re so many things I just can’t explain
And we only hear, what we want to hear
Noise becomes a tasteful melody
But in the end, we all have been misunderstood
touching the screen with my fingertips
a still tongue behind pursed lips
shadows of you
become a measure to pursue
while the lessons and the hurts overwhelm the masses
shadows of you
a lovely lullaby for two
treading through my soul, in the safest way
3. Memories
I lie here motionless and paralysed by yout sweet taste
but there's some things even love can do
yesterday is all we know we live today with nothing else to go
And just when i thought, that my soul has been caught
I turned to you and heard your sweet whispered word
when you walk with me over the water
I take shallow little breaths
dreaming of the comfort outside this gates
of this unwanted place
and we're moving on...on and on
And so the world keeps moving on and on
And I wish that it could last for evermore
Like singing an endless song
but it's time to say goodbye
to those things that made us laugh and cry
And then one day we will realize
that memories are thoughts
we shall always carry... always carry within our hearts...
4. A New State Of Mind
There need to be no laughter
nor even amusement in the ordinary sense
Let the humor flash and burn
in the most desperate obscurities
The goal is almost reached
but not yet...
I'm falling deeper
falling deeper
into a new state of mind
Comedy withers more quickly than tragedy
And you're a comedy that has not survived
The goal is almost reached
but not yet...and some obstacles will remain
5. Tracing the Line
