Strange behaviour

So restless caught in hesitation.
Hurry up! There's still enough time left to waste.
Where's the being that is kept away from the light of day,
kept calm in the dead of night?
No-one knows the rage that lies buried deep inside of me
and it really does feel uncomfortable.
For how long can I suppress what's the most part of me?
It feels so strange to be driven...
Still heading forward in getting nowhere,
even the merest hint won't offer a clue
I feel a shipwrecked soul that got stranded
on my mental shores
No-one knows the rage that lies buried deep inside of me
and it really does feel uncomfortable.
For how long can I suppress what's the most part of me?
It feels so strange to be driven... into normalcy

Unsustainable

If we were asked to reconsider all our deeds.
How much would remain to stand the test of time ?
We've made up a life so inerrant but soon it only glazed.
Is this already the final stage where we have been left to bleed?
Nothing may change the fact of the irony we finally have to face -
even united we feel abandoned
Though we realise we've already reach the point of no return
still we keep on pretending all is well
It is the sneaky distance growing with the years
that leads to the insipid embrace of insensibility
If there ever was the time we had a chance
to put things right then we failed
but remember I was not the only one
who closed the door and turned the key
Nothing may change the fact of the irony we finally have to face -
even united we feel abandoned
though we realise we've already reach the point of no return
still we keep on pretending all is well
Pretending all is well because we want to believe all is well

Silence's embrace

All illusions are perfect unless you begin to doubt and look behind the fassades you always took for granted
But if you choose to close your eyes again and believing all is well
then for how long will you be save in the centre of your storm?
and still you're heading for the wrong direction
as if it could change all you've done and all you've seen
what is left there for you to matter when silence embraces all?
Can you imagine a time of living without a care,
of doing the wrong thing, of making up your own mind?
You may go with the flow and be forgotten or dare a new start.
It's time to make the final choice that you've always tried to avoid
and still you're heading for the wrong direction
as if it could change all you've done and all you've seen
what is left there for you to matter when silence embraces all?

If there would be nothing it would still be something you'd miss.
If you could achieve all in life it still wouldn't be enough.
As you're struggling through your days and nights
did you never regonized our signs?
Because we searched for someone like you
we can make a dream come true
So we lead you here there's no need to fear
A little separation from the world you fail to hate
and all we ever ask for is all you wouldn't miss
For all the unknown questions you hide deep inside
let us provide the answers to keep you satisfied.
Within a fraction of time we make you blind for the things we do
Gentle force you in a state of mind
where you'll never realise our crime
and we keep you there 'til you're in need of care
A little separation from the world you fail to hate
and all we ever ask for is all you wouldn't miss
For all the unknown questions you hide deep inside
let us provide the answers to keep you satisfied.
As long as we keep you there you'll be in need of care.
As long as you stay here we feed upon your fears

Memento

There must be a reason for the way that led you here
(Does there have to be a reason? Do you always need a reason?)
Because this is not the place you want to be
you thought you left it all behind
(Still you seek for refuge between these walls)
and caged like a beast deep in the heart of your soul
lies the wisdom that you need.
So forgotten - so untended it repeals all you have been.
This should not take long to search the remnant of your past
(Are you sure it has been there? What makes you sure it has been there?)
But how can you find what never did exist?
Its memento is paling fast
(a deserted place to call home at least. this deserted place you call soul at last)
and caged like a beast deep in the heart of your soul
lies the wisdom that you need.
So forgotten - so untended it repeals all you have been.

Weary of numb lying disguise builded up to make it all worth-while.
Like forcing destiny for a hesitation in time
with the ferocity of a forfeited mind.
What if I start to believe in things that naturally unreal?
Who will spin the wheel of fortune in here?
In a place I burnt to ashes head over heels!
In a place where logic's mamed and even mercy can't invade.
Am I lost within my rage?
Increasing the violence to cope with a stunning range of faithful reliance towards an imperfect fear that leads to the laced-up caress
of what I thought I'd left as a matter of fact - I'm simply too craven
Instead I choosed to believe in things that naturally unreal
And I crushed the wheel of fortune in here!
In a place I burnt to ashes head over heels!
In a place where logic's mamed and even mercy can't invade.
Will this story ever reach its final page?

Defizit

In trügerischer Klarheit erstrahlt die Welt, den Blick auf die Wirklichkeit entstellt und nur eine Richtung im Kopf eingebrannt.
Denn im Trugschluß Dich verrannt Beharrlichkeit brächte Dich ans Ziel, doch wo ist der Sinn eines Weges der schon längst zu nichts mehr führt.
Denn die Trümmer Deiner Hoffnungen werden Dich nur nach unten ziehen, die Einsicht dies zu verstehen ist das Defizit in Dir!
Was macht schon ein letzter Schritt bevor Du stagnierst? Doch die Konsequenz zur Tat ist das Defizit in Dir!
Deine Vernunft längst negiert, den Wendepunkt bereits passiert,
nur im Fokus ein unsichtbares Ziel
Mit jedem Schritt den Du nun gehst, dem Ziel so fern dem Wahnsinn so nah,doch immernoch hälst Du fest, was Dich nur weiter in den Abgrund zieht.
Denn die Trümmer Deiner Hoffnungen werden Dich nur nach unten ziehen, die Einsicht dies zu verstehen ist das Defizit in Dir!
Was macht schon ein letzter Schritt bevor Du stagnierst? Doch die Konsequenz zur Tat ist das Defizit in Dir!
Wie lange wirst du warten?

As the silence sets upon the oceans
feel an infinity that's been long ago.
I got lost deep in the heart of me as I try to resolve the rest of me.
If this was meant to last forever
how does it come I see the end from here?
Tell me ever since you've guided me - have you ever blinded me?
Still the gentle flowing waters of time slowly washing off the lines of my face...
Who told you that in heaven one is free from care?
Maybe heaven is just some place in hell...
No matter if you leave, no matter if you stay
you've already lost your way.
Now that you've reached the end how far do you see from there ?
Who told you that in heaven one is free from care?
Maybe heaven is just some place in hell...
No matter if you leave, no matter if you stay
you've already lost your way.
