1. The big sleep
Deprivation of my sleep
is so bad
I need to weep
myself into a coma
And drift far far away
from reality
sing me a lullaby
"Summertime"
I'm dreaming
I'm dreaming
Temporary failure to close my eyes
leeds to a final
loss of sanity
I need to slip
into a deep sunken sleep
And drift far, far away
from reality
I'm dreaming
I'm dreaming.....
2. Broken glass
Strange vibe
circles round
Tries to comfort
buzzing sounds
Form an arrow
point at us
We the target
are the one
Place your bet
on the best
The fastest horse
you can find
Drop yourself
in the grass
Breathe the air
at last
Hold on tight
don't fall down
Breathe the air
trough the water
Form an arrow
point at us
We the target
are the center
Find the key
lock the door
Close your eyes
for encore
Drop yourself
in the grass
Breathe the air
at last
Hold on tight
don't you fall down
Breathe the air
trough the water
Find your peace
turn inside
You the target
you the center
Find the key
lock the door
Close your eyes
for encore
Drop yourself
in the grass
Breathe the air
at last
Hold on tight
don't you fall down
Breathe the air
trough the water
3. Rescue me
All I want
is to be where you are
Wisdom
will nurse you
Pass your sense
on to me
Weigh my hands
And help me
I gasp
for air
what is the wear
That shows on my face
Pass your sense
on to me
Weigh my hands
Rescue me
I rinse my face
in water
My breath runs out
in the waves
4. Alone
now you see me
getting better
i'm right here on this plate
and i'll make it
a bit heavier
by growing all the way
did you find it
all much easier
to stoop to where i was?
with your power
and your knowledge
to leave me here
alone
alone
i'm all alone
alone
alone
i'm all alone
now is the time
for being humble
by holding you down on your knees
i suspect you stayed there and crumble
rather so then to be all
5. Travel
Melodic stanzas
are symphonizing their way
through your weary head
To feed your distrust
And fill it's mouth with the desire
to soulfully be one with your creation
Not a subject to control
you call upon a higer power
for help and inspiration
The crowd waits
and turns their faces
towards you expectantly
you give them what they need
But their useless criticism
makes you die
a bit more inside
Not a subject to control
you call upon a higer power
for help and inspiration
Oh, I swoon
while loudspeakers play soft music
Leaning
over your fourtieth masterpiece
You must have loved
the colour of these violins
I wish I knew you
Your fit of insanity makes me sad
I wish you knew
your music was to stay forever
And I hope....
I have no clue
if you know how much it matters
And i hope....
6. Red is a Slow Colour
The black house in in my street
looks too dark just to go inside
But when I do
I cannot move because of
the mess in the hallway
The picture on the wall is chaotic
I don't want to look at it
But when I do
I cannot speak because of
the confusion in my head
I am unfit and I want to leap away
But when I do
The red colour comes after me
It is fierce and it moves slow
The picture on the wall is chaotic
I don't want to look at it
But when I do
I cannot speak because of
the confusion in my head
I am unfit and I want to leap away
But when I do
The red colour comes after me
It is fierce and it moves slow
7. A life all mine
Razor sharp I cut
The bull from my life
Too blunt your knife
To slay this dreamer
We might be dogs astray
No running line will hold us
So rather kick and kill me
I'll be butchered all the same
No words are spoken
But the world is broken
'Cause I want something
Something all wrong done
A life instead of mere living
Folding crumbling withering oh hell
What difference when working the way
The crown of my work
Is what I shall gain
At the end of my days
Daylight awake to a puppet world
No strings attach to this body of mine
Folding crumbling withering oh well
The punished pushed along the line
All my actions, all my moves
A life all mine to lose
The crown of my work
A life all mine to lose
A life all mine
Is what I choose
At the end of my days
8. Golden grounds
As the sand
spreads wide open
and the glow of the sun
pearls the skin
All hope is craving fluids
and the yearning to where we've been
Golden grounds
so absorbing
When the heat of the sun
boils the skin
We have to stand the test of nature
to return to where we've been
Hold on my saviour
Keep my heart in holy dimensions
Drag me on your back
for one more day
One more day
One more day
You give
You learn
You live
You learn
I guess what ever you may find
It's all right to eat a piece of your mind
9. Amity
The torture won't part you
Motherly breast won't warm you
You fail and foam from your mouth
why is it so loud, this sound?
All the sense your are capable of
does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile
Was it impossible to float for a while?
Restless is carrying fever
burning you to pieces
In search and need of a friend
Will I bow down to this in the end?
I lay in the hands of my maker
and I want to spend the rest of it awake
Why do I get the feeling they'll brake it
It's a fight... it's a fight...
The torture won't part you
Mothers lap can't seem to warm you
You strain, you climb up and frown
Why is it so loud, This down?
All the sense you are capable of
does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile
Was it impossible to float for a while?
I lay in the hands of my maker
And I want to spend the rest of it awake
Why do I get the feeling they'll brake it
It's a fight... it's a fight
10. In Motion II
i see him turn away
although my eyes are shut with emptiness
and again the rain falls down
together with me
this blood in my body runs for you
drink my tears as i cry
my heart and my mind crave for you
drink my tears as i cry
it is sad how the rain falls down
i see you walk away
falling down i cry and scream your name
and again the rain falls down
together with me
my ache is yours as i am
drink my tears as i cry
11. Marooned
I know from a lesser tribe
I suppose the range of my intelligence
is way too wide
And you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say
My emotional outlet
is consuming the better part of me
And apart from the wrong words
a tortured cry is making me see
That you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say
hours and hours fo jealousy
are passing me by
Although hollow silence
is the only wave
going through your brain
And you don't see me
'cause I don't have much to say
12. Souvenirs
Jump in heat
Plunge to your truth
Agree with your youth
Consider defeat
Part and part
And separate
We will
Brand new paths
In ways to soothe
Never disagree with your youth
Part of your heart
Will separate
It will
The gift of your life
All what was concealed
No skin-deep a dive
Your childhood revealed
You jump in heat
Plunge to your start
Don't underestimate
You're own point of view
Don't part your art
Or hesitate
Your will
The gift of your life
All what was concealed
No skin-deep a dive
Your childhood revealed
You peel all the layers of forever
You start the beginning of the end
Breathing is bridging the gap
Between black and light
And now you feel alive!
And now you learn to dive you know!
Breathing is bridging the gap
Between black and light
13. Like fountains
A scar inside
For such a long time
I'll do it all over again
Can't face the wounds
Have to go on
Stop remembering
Time by time shades reach the surface
A mental breakdown, they provide
Accept, clear up, clean up, go on
and soon I'll show some pride
There's enough to go on further
Don't force to forget
Till the day I'm done with the shades
The rage I create towards myself, the hate
To claim the blame that I feel
To damage the dreams I need
Facing uncertainty
Facing the truth
Got to get on through
Blaming myself
Blame at last
...And please forget
