1. Foil
Is life the evidence of death, a subject that on itself proves nothing?
I will return the moment when I know where I was and where you have been.
The look in your eyes strikes my nerves, but in a way it is pervading my pain.
Who will wait for change, the fool, or the one who follows him?
Take instead of make.
Where does the fire remain when you take hold of the flame?
Raise Hell in the heart.
Love is pictured as fire and it is everlasting.
Remember well, so is Hell. Dear Hell.
What gives human life its worth anyway?
What gives human life its worth?
You tell me.
From the start we have been raising Hell in our hearts.
Raising Hell in the heart.
2. Chrysalis
I give my ghost away to transformation.
Transparent emanation stays as long as it serves, it freezes into one form... it shone equally for all.
I change with the things that might end me forever or force me into bygone days to grow to a certain end.
The question will linger where to point the finger.
Attempts to erase the past will only make it last.
It goes without saying that the seer alters the seen by seeing it and water down what it could have been.
Unnatural ending, we are dying alone like a dream that from nothing has grown.
I welcome change.
I welcome transformation.
I give my ghost away.
3. Cirrus
Time spent yesterday is repeated today.
To that as to all things end is important.
Amen to everything.
It sees everything.
It says Amen to everything.
Come Hell or high water.
Come down the flow and beat.
Streaming down this spate of days, this endless spate of days.
Screaming my voice out, thinking my mind out, wearing my life out, turning the inside out.
Exploiting decay before the world turns away.
Rewards are dust, a notion of how it feels to be locked in the head, locked in the longest stare.
It tears the skin to find a way through and lingers when there is nothing to pursue.
4. Umbra
By the way your fingers draw the silhouette of his face, so lovely in your lap, to show me how he died.
I see you remember... every painful detail.
I fail to restrain emotions, my veins crack open wide.
The past isn't through when we are and guilt will come for the kill.
This is who we are, living on our handmade dream.
We are poles apart.
I sense the pressure, it is playing hide and seek.
Unsatisfied and insecure.
What I know is what the world has sold me.
Anima evacuates, further into the future.
Anima evacuates to meet tomorrow.
5. Helix
These moments without sound or vision, these minimal moments.
When shifting colours move through sensory sleep, we creep, awake and aware.
A curse so easily cast through stature and gesture, through logic, throughout every phase of reflection, regression, rejection.
Spin the wheel, crash down again, spin the wheel, crash down again.
Tagged and bagged in the cocoon of denial.
I know I'm not alone, yet I assume I am to decide.
When I hold my voice communication ends.
Tending to point at the most obvious as the source that conceives all hope and fear.
Spin the wheel, crash down again, spin the wheel, crash down again.
Trapped and wrapped in the cocoon of denial.
6. Time is idle...
A bird in a cage of gold in a grey and sober room without light and without windows it's alone with the cold love of God.
The bird escapes and thrusts itself into the bush among the thorns that once have been a crown and dies in a beautiful song.
Time is slowing down we are staring at the wall.
Everything stays just the same and we can't see at all.
Staring at the wall…
Lovers fuse and separate before love brings them one death.
They wrap themselves in clay as the spring of their heart is losing its breath Is death the only love which truly eases?
It's where fear hides away, where time means no harm, where we are forever.
How do sun and moon find the courage to climb up to wander lost in orbit.
If only they were like lovers entwined.
I don't breathe a word.
I don't dream but wonder.
7. In-between heartbeats
One more night, the man in the moon grows older.
Every night a little colder.
Your face is a perfect dream in a sea of sunlight, slowing down in-between heartbeats.
We rise only to fall again.
We rephrase the madness with the night as a canvas to express compassion - despair - betrayal.
In-between heartbeats.
All the time and all life long I deny the bygone night in the hollow cage of my bones.
Faith will lead the way to hearse the world.
Believe in nothing and nothing will release you.
Believe.
8. Troy
Can you imagine those days when you grow a thousand years older?
When time is nearly stalking you through life and you dramatize everything.
There are so many dreams out there, so many dreams leaning towards hope.
Avoiding them for just a moment when I trust my love to the comfort of suicide.
It all ends here - under the skin.
As you see me - under the skin.
The harder I try - under the skin.
The further I fall, the further I fall.
Is there a place where God feels at home, a warm and safe place without memory?
We fall divided, draining away...
To murder all that's between us.
To murder the irrelevance we suffer.
To murder the matters in our hands.
To murder the little faith we managed to sustain.
As I let my blood follow yours we sink into another vacant soul.
As pain crescends to murder... this soul, this Troy, this trial.
9. Promise
A landscape still, can make you feel like you never will see the sun, again.
And on the floor, millions more, lay naked and undressed from will.
A promise to keep in the arms of sleep, we've always known we shared the need.
It feels like I am losing you, it seems we are falling apart.
The warmth in your bliss, the time I miss... all is waiting in your hands.
We know the prize of love gone sour, weighing down this weary hour.
Though I hear your whispers near, I know I'll never see you again.
Hope lays in all its broken ways, tumbling through the madness of life.
I made a promise.
I break a promise.
Don't waste your time, my feet sink in ethereal soil.
In the blink of an eye you will forget my name.
How is it going to be alone?
I made a promise, but I can't bear to keep this promise.
You know it hurts me too, this time I break a promise.
Don't waste your time.
