left and right the colours
a dissonant place to be
the lines dictate the rhythm
the dots destroy the system
mountains high and small
trombone blue or yellow
picture of a chaos
what the hell is this
and the river is dying away
and I can't take the beauty an the chaos
you have to leave
and I stay here
and I am here just watching, watching
it makes no sense
there is no sense in here
it doesn't make a different
whether the eyes are close or open
we see nothing
a step backwards and there it is:
a picture of reality
and the river is dying away
and I can't take the beauty an the chaos
you have to leave
and I stay here
I am here just watching, watching
and the river is dying away
and I can't take the beauty an the chaos

something about a restart
something about a new beginning
its obvious; you are afraid of winning
wake up; the only rule is 'living'
you found yourself transformed into a gigantic insect
open your eyes; open your eyes
something about a second chance
something to talk about again
forget the truth; forget the golden chain
you are trapped now and then; so please wake up
you found yourself transformed into a gigantic insect
open your eyes; open your eyes

it is time for another escape
ther is no peace to find in this place
a future was promised
a future was taken
there was a war
a few years from now
the earth was on fire and everything gone
i`ve been told that man has to kill one another
i believe that man has to be his own savior
there was a war
a few years from now
the earth was on fire and everything gone

a worn out smile
what do you think?
echoes before my eyes
infinite distance
fallen fragments
no one can stand
the eternal scenery
order is just a word
principles vs. doubts
principles vs. doubts
the descent

this could be a song about the woman you love
or about the wish to travel the world
to hang out with old friends
have some fun and dance
to live the life you dreamed of.
I need some.... I would´like to... I think I'm gonna leave this town
….tomorrow.
or about the feeling that there is no gravity;
so you have to weight ...yourself,
not to fall off...the world.
surrounded by cries
surrounded by cries
I need some.... I would´like to... I think I'm gonna leave this town
….tomorrow.
I have to leave this place
therefore I need some....
and yes, I would like to change....
I think I'm gonna leave this town
….tomorrow. tomorrow. tomorrow.

you´re standing - all alone
time goes backwards – this is old and dead
a paradox – which can be solved
there is a shift in the atmosphere. (I see)
fake empires - the inner life
silhouettes lives - who copies whom
at least a plan - signed by us
phenomenology – I miss the night-bus
slow down the pace – I don´t run
tunnelvision – do you need more?
fail again, fail better for me
I am just running I am running after you....

Time

surrounded by darkness and endless noise
this is where time starts
starting to lose
cant find the words, no one can
cant find the words
no one can
surrounded by sadness
in a world without a past
i am not together
i am apart
today today
is all i know
no future to remember
or save my soul
when this world comes to an end
there will be so much to look forward to
"where everything is bad it must be good
to know the worst" (F.H. Bradley)
