You keep me alive

Erstwhile I watched the sky each night
Enjoying the wonders every day
Touching darkness surrounding me
Comforting pleasures – they carried me
It seems to me – a chance is lost
That we can live in harmony
I´m hiding here within my last resort
Well knowing you don´t care about
You keep me alive
There never was a better place to be
Though it doesn’t make it easier
You keep me alive
The suffering it made me strong
But I lost my liberty
When will the unicorn appear
To help me outa here
Am I really free to be?
Or is this sadness the last I see?
Aren´t we born to be free?
I would like to return to the state
As I wandered through heavy rain
In this one specific part of life
I used to feel the love alive
I´m hiding here within my last resort
Well knowing you don´t care about
You keep me alive
There never was a better place to be
Though it doesn’t make it easier
You keep me alive
I´m hiding here
Knowing you don´t
Care about me
You keep me alive
Something you don´t
Know about me
I need you!
You keep me alive!
I remember unity in many ways
Well knowing how you cared about
You keep me alive
There never was a possibility
For us to end in dignity
You keep me alive

Final retreat
04:40
|
|||
Please tell me
This is not reality
Just one slight mistake
Every move further feels faint
A whole new land
Lies now close and bare ahead
Irresolute I stare
At the far end of despair
I don’t see reason for this final retreat at all
There is still a chance I will recover one more time
I tried before
Searched for hidden unknown lore
Hoped to find an end
In the knowledge of some lord
Things won’t change
Though you pray with creed and faith
You still sit on
This lonesome mighty chair
I don’t see reason for this final retreat at all
There is still a chance I will recover one more time
I never said it will be easy...but I once did recognize
It gives a splendid tension to our mortal lives
Who would I be?
Without chaos inside of me?
A constant light?
Without darkness forcing pride?
A whole new land
Lies now close and bare ahead
Challenging I stare
All ready yet to dare
This old tree
Has been grown with dignity
Now I kneel beside
Want it´s wisdom to be mine
I don’t see reason for this final retreat at all
There is still a chance I will recover one more time
I never said it will be easy...but I once did recognize
It gives a splendid tension to our mortal lives

Each day I’m waiting for the news that you are lost to me
I really appreciate your life moving on - without me
I never told you anything bout what is moving me
I couldn’t even if you find a reason
I still await more problems to be found than to be solved
I wonder if you ever secretly think of me
These feelings you once placed in me hold my soul in place
They are guiding me on every step and fill my hollow heart
In a few years 14 will have melted down
And new love can find a way
And who knows what fate will weave
Until my soul will be redeemed
Slobbering guys surround you waiting for their final chance
Like a filthy pack of wolves hunting down their prey
And I just stand and stare unable to speak
Bound by vows enforced by morals can’t we just cheat?
Is age really as important as you used to say?
Lets take the leap. The pit is not that deep
In a few years 14 will have melted down
And new love can find a way
And who knows what fate will weave
Until my soul will be redeemed
Years were fading fast
And still there is no change
I remember all the thoughts
As if time never passed
And so I´m dreaming on
Of what never will come
You mesmerized my soul
Led me to higher goals
In a few years 14 will have melted down
And new love can rise without blame
And who knows what fate will weave
Until my soul will be redeemed

Take me right
Or take me wrong
Right now I don´t care
truth or dare
So let me talk straight
Let me stand strong
About what you did
about what I risked
You went too far
I lost control
But it felt so right
It felt so real
I lost my mind
I traded my soul
but the devil in me
drove me to be rude
What does it take?
What are the words?
To say I´m sorry…
Your sad eyes
Avoiding mine
It feels so wrong
I miss the time
I miss the fun
I miss your smile
There was something real
That we cant deny
Was it all worthwhile?
I had to try
I had to rise
Into your endless sky
Am I the only one
who lived
inside this dream?
Now I´m falling
for a lifetime
Back to earth
And all my longing
Was so senseless
In the end
Don´t turn around
Don´t bow your head
Don´t leave again
It´s ending in shame
I gathered my words
Collected my thoughts
Leveled the claim
Learned to be plain
I was so blind
You were so kind
We were meant to collide
In a blaze of light
Now it´s enough
It had to be done
It had to end!
As it all began!
What does it take?
What are the words?
To say I´m sorry…
Your sad eyes
Avoiding mine
It feels so wrong
I miss the time
I miss the fun
I miss your smile
There was something real
That we cant deny
Was it all worthwhile?
I had to try
I had to rise
Into your endless sky
Am I the only one
who lived
inside this dream?
Now I´m falling
for a lifetime
Back to earth
And all my longing
had been foolish
from the start
And all my longing
Was so senseless
In the end

Never wanted to
04:53
|

Never wanted to cry again
Never wanted to feel this pain
Never wanted to know the price
I just wanted to make it right
Never laid these hands upon
Your velvet, graceful skin
Never seen an angel cry
But felt the tears cover mine
Never seen me in a worse mood
Never felt that innocence
Never wanted to break your world
With a broken promised word
Never wanted to chase the stars
Never wanted to beat a storm
Never had a chance to win
I feel so desolate with every sin
I’m always wondering about the fire
That´s blazing up with intense desire
Now I´m fighting this dread away
To reach for life I´m longing for
I can´t restrain it´s a natural longing
With conviction I´m born a trier
Somehow I keep holding on
When every further step is burdensome
Never had a single day I missed
Always had some full of bliss
Sometimes I want this all to end
Make it easier to understand
Turning it inside the mud
I always catch a golden piece
I just want to make you see
There’s more to win than lose than you might feel

Amazing

Looking down this empty road
Turn around I see pleasant memories
Want these things to move on like this
But I know times they have changed
Tears are running down - I can’t stop crying now!
Buildings tumbling down all around
Purple sun is shining in the night
Everything seems upside down...
Words reminding me here
Intense of what once was real
It was quite amazing
What we got
Let it last forever more
Never Stop!
I don´t want to walk
This ending dream
let the fading light
ease my pain
It was quite amazing
But I was ready for much more
Now I know how it feels
Being a part of something real
An old man comes right along
He looks straight into my eyes
Understands what now is lost
In his gaze I sense sympathy
He tells stories of his own
Old memories here reborn
Reluctantly he let them go
but they carried him all along
It was quite amazing
What we got
Let it last forever
Never Stop!
I don´t want to walk
This ending dream
let the fading light
ease my pain
I just learned to fly
On perfect wings
Now these memories
Slowly fade away
The ground beneath
Feels so damn unreal
Let a million butterflies
carry me
It was quite amazing

One/bound

Stars striving to be
In one cluster - bound and unfree
They are searching for a light
lonely blinking in the night
diminished in a sea
full of equals out of reach
with desire you´re watching the sky
knowing we´ll join them – one day
we are one bound in here...
you have been searching
you have been suffering
now you got to understand
you are not alone
Cosmic rays invisible
Connecting the impossible
leaving energies behind
sharing them with every kind
Life is not so far away
Don’t get lost within despair
You are searching, searching, searching for the closest fantasies
We are one, bound in here…
holding on
rest a while
leave grief behind
ignore the lies
lets share this state
inhale the air
of offered care
and find some peace
We are one, bound in here…

Moonlight

Pale light on your placid face
You lay calm with heavenly grace
Slightly breathing in silent tunes
Your body curves beneath the sheets
Elusively I can hardly breathe
Desire for your grace so much
I’m pleased to be
You are rocking this empty hall
Filling my heart with new life
Made a lonesome man the happiest alive
I’m loving you with every spark of my life
You gave birth to this broken heart
Made tactile sense fundamental need
Close to stroke your velvet skin
Your lips allure mine enticingly
Don’t deny this passion we feel
Indulging is that easy
I’m pleased to be
You are rocking this empty hall
Filling my heart with new life
Made a lonesome man the happiest alive
I’m loving you with every spark of my life
Your eyes open suddenly
You smile I close mine instantly
Enjoying this sense of unity

Dreaming on
04:57
|

Oh my – I see
This is the end of my fears
The end of times
Clarified my own beliefs
So I seek rest
In a dark and lonely place
I never chose this way
All tears dried
All love is gone
Another sphere
Another goal
just a fake
So I’m dreaming on and on and on
Please don´t leave me undone!!!
A new day dawns
But I won’t flinch this time
Whatever will come
I will stand my ground
I don´t regret
I won´t forget
The time I felt love
The time when I felt loved
I carry on
Without a feeling
I miss my heart aching
Like a dying friend
no waiting for wonders
hope keeps me alive
hope keeps me alive
no fighting for nothing
hope keeps me alive
hope keeps me alive

Open waters
04:23

Without a noise
You start to cry
Release silence in the night
A stream arise
Beneath your feet
Winding down the sea to meet
The sirens sing
They are Calling you
Don´t get seduced by their words
your Silence
must be heard
Don´t evade the storm like birds
Hold on firm to one thing
Like you enjoyed the wonders
Don´t throw away the world you see
I promise one day you´ll be free
Don´t be a one day dreamer
Try to be a true believer
Loaded ships approaching soon
The sea stays calm no storm will loom
It depends on you
and what you try
don´t await the sea to dry
the birds will sing
and they will fly
even on the day you die
Hold on firm to one thing
Like you enjoyed the wonders
Don´t throw away the world you see
I promise one day you´ll be free
Don´t be a one day dreamer
Try to be a true believer
Loaded ships approaching soon
The sea stays calm no storm will loom
Where heaven seems to meet the sea
A ship reveals with peaceful sails
More emerge within a while
The more revealed, the less you cry
This is now or never
They are not your saviour
cross the deep open water
time to leave this lonesome shore
