IMPERMANENCE
My life turns well, but in the blink of an eye
Everything could change fort he worse
All the things that I have gained
Forgotten whithin seconds
Nothing stays the same
Only memories remain..
Well, let´s take a minute to look at my life
What I achieved and how I survived
The good, the bad, the easy, the hard
Times are changing, things are fallin´ apart
I got family support and a bunch of friends
Doubts, power, weakness, vision and strenght
Serious setbacks alternate with succes
A proper balance ist the key, I guess
In summary, I should not complain
But there´re so many questions in my head
Impermanence surrounds me, thoughts of death still bound me
The more the seasons change, the more the years are passing by
I´m coming closer to the end- all these worries I can´t hide
Impermanence has found me, concerning all around me
Growing older doesn´t mean I´m getting wiser
I still feel like the fool I was in my early days

TFIRSTSIGHT
Looking back at these days, when we seemed to loose our minds
Everything felt heavy, solutions were hard to find
Consumed by ourselves we didn´t care about the world outside
In these times of confusion, we searched for a safe, for a safer place to hide
We got a lot to learn and so much more to take
All the mistakes we regret, define what we are today
To avoid disappointments we kept our expectations low
We listen to the soundtracks of our lifes, while we slowly grow
Whohooo, we raise our glasses
Whohooo
Looking back at these memories, we seem to fall out of sight
In today´s perspective not everything´s as bad as we made it
Yesterdays´s mourning is today´s reminder
Any downfall is a chance to be kinder to ourselves
And we grow and bloom, and we found a place
And this place is right here
We got a lot to learn…..
Wohoho, we raise our glasses
Whohoho
Tonight we sing the songs that changed our lifes
Fell in love with music, at first sight
I wished, every good thing could last forever
And I hope my struggle was not in vain
Every second,every hour that is fading away
I know all these songs remain the same

PRESSURE
I´ve struggled so hard to keep up with your demands
Tried to achieve, what was expected from me
Fullfilled your ambitions, rather than to make my own choices
A competition to succeed at any cost
I´m not here to realize your broken dreams
I want to decide for myself, you´re sacrificing me
The way I am is not who you want me to be
You´re wasting your breath, ´cause you can´t change me
-Forced into someting that-
I never wanted to do
This work is fine for you, but not for me
I am under pressure in your „perfect world“
But now I feel, the tide is starting to turn
I´m not here to realize your broken dreams
I want to decide for myself, you´re sacrificing me
The way I am is not who you want me to be
You´re wasting your breath, ´cause you can´t change me
You pushed me too far, now I´m loosing ground
My back against the wall, but I´m still holding on
You pushed me too far, now I´m loosing ground
My back against the wall, but I´m still holding on, and on, and on
All these constant battles, I had to fight
I prove myself that I am right
Convincing you every fucking day
I´m better off on my own way
On my own way
Maybe one day you will understand

PUPPETS
I´d rather be deaf, than to hear your cant (hear your cant)
I´d rather go blind, than to see your puppets (see your puppets)
What is life without the living?
How can I breathe when I´m just skipping
From day to day without a breeze
Of all the things that are worth living?
Am I meant to be reflecting?
Are we meant to be acting
Like machines in their breath?
It´s just effort that counts at last
Why should I do this to myself?
Why should I do what I am told?
Why should I sacrifice my life
For you who breed us slaves?
I´d rather be deaf, than to hear your cant (hear your cant)
I´d rather go blind, than to see your puppets (see your puppets)
What is life without its essence?
I feel like I stopped asking
I tried so hard to be something
Something that fits in your system
You call it “life”, I call it death
Your system stole my last breath
You steal everything I have
´Cause nothing´s free, not even death
Nothing´s free, not even death
You steal everything I have
´Cause nothing´s free, not even death
I´d rather be deaf, than to hear your cant (hear your cant)
I´d rather go blind, than to see your puppets (see your puppets)
We´d rather be death than to hear your cant, hear your cant..

STRANGER
I´ve had enough of these old familiar streets
The old grey won´t feel like home to me
I´ve spent so many time holding myself back
Nights filled with the guilt to leave it behind
How long can days be
How far can I go
The carving is choking
The search for unknown
Is this my fate
To spent nights awake
And wish myself hundreds of miles away
I found a way out in a stranger´s eyes
In lips I´ve never seen and
In skin I´ve never touched
I found refuge in a stranger´s mind
In words I´ve never heard and
In thoughts I can´t trace
Just to sense the warmth
Just to see who you are
I just know your face and your name- by heart
I found a way out in a stranger´s eyes
In lips I´ve never seen
In skin I´ve never touched
I found refuge in a stranger´s mind
In words I´ve never heard
In thoughts I can´t trace

BREAK ME, TRY IT
I´m searching for the light again
My golden sun is covered in the depths of life
There are these corners that drown your being in shadows
And steal your eyes transperency
But I am still alive again
For to live, I just need air to breathe- not a single reason
And after this episode of darkness
I will walk out more alive than I was before
They wanna change me
But I won´t
I know exactly who I am
I found my way and I´ll follow it straight
They try to break me, but they can´t
And now I watch it all burn
With the fire that it started in me
There are these corners that drown your being in shadows
And steal your eyes transperency

APATHY
Five bodies found stabbed in the backyard Left for death with their faces in the mud The father did everything he could To save the life of his loved ones Five crosses mark the place on the graveyard Where the coffins are burried in the mud Nobody did the best one could To save this family from the cruel death
But in fact, in the neighborhood Not far from the scene of crime (near the scene of crime) A silent witness hides her face from the truth Confused and scared, harrowed by doubts
She knows what actually happened, right in front of her eyes „An execution“, is what the newspapers wrote A violent evolution, we are numb inside An apathetic revolution, we are, we are dead inside How clear is it to see? Apathy Causes the death, yeah the death Of a family

HIBERNATION (part 2)
I swear it´s salt in my wounds It is dust in my lungs You´re like a vapor in the wind You left the bitter taste of mistrust I could claim I worked it out But the noise is still so near The lasting question in my head
The noise is still so near The steady question in my head Would it be different if you were here?
The hardest part is forgetting that we never met Not that you never cared, but that I´ll never see you smile The hardest part is forgetting that you never looked into my eyes And said you´ll never come back
I never wanted to make you cry I never wanted to make you proud I just want you to look at me And realise it is yourself you see Since you closed your eyes I never opened mine These leaves of legacy Stay the same It´s your blue in my eyes It´s your breath in my lungs It´s your blood in my veins The hardest part is forgetting that we never met Not that you never cared, but that I´ll never see you smile The hardest part is forgetting that you never looked into my eyes And said you´ll never come back
So now I´m standing here Empty handed Continously asleep And I ask you: will you be there when I open my eyes? Wake me out of my Hibernation
