Atychiphilia 01:42
The time has come to put an end to everything that gave us protection, that kept us alive that took our freedom, that fed us with lies that has strengthened us to make us weak that let us forget how to live all that we have learned is being alone without a heart, without a soul we were born to fail, our life is leading oneway without feelings, without mercy we are hungry, we are thirsty forced to smile the emptiness away
2.
This confession is the only one that I will make and it´s not easy to swallow. without knowing if its right or wrong I will bear the consequences and if my conscience leaves me my heart will lead me I fold my hands on my knees I´m begging you I promise I´ll be better I vow to kill my needs but I´m still lying to myself that I live like I´m supposed to all those wrong decisions all those mistakes will kill me I´m surrounded by distance my hands are tied I need someone to show me the way and take me home this confession will be burned to pave the way for the homecoming This confession will be buried to pave the way for the homecoming I cannot stop lying to myself all those wrong decisions all those mistakes will kill me and I´m standing here, waiting here alone I´ve paved my way but life won´t let me go I´m caught, I struggle, I try to escape for a new beginning it s far too late my whole world crumbles, I´m fighting a war home is near but seems so far
3.
Empty Hands 03:50
Already years ago as I was young I questioned everything I´ve done the world sucked me dry I was telling only lies heaven put a curse on me with poison on my tongue I will bring war into the streets and burn down everything I live my life alone, now and forever I live my life alone, insofar as I remember we have nothing, never had and never will no belongings, no regrets we were born with empty hands We have nothing, never had and never will from the start until the end we will die with empty hands I´ve tried to keep my mind clean but thoughts are chasing my head I swallow poison, to lose control over myself more and more I die inside more and more I lose my mind my mind is clean now it won´t be chased by thoughts anymore I swallowed too much and lost control over my life all the time I´ve spent to realize that there´s no escape from our demise nothing can save us from ourselves and the things we´ve done we are standing at the edge with thousands in our back but no one will save us from falling they keep pushing
4.
Morphine 03:45
Our skin is cold, our eyes are senseless we are the heartless, we´ve never learnt to love separated, from the others all alone, we will unfold leave me you deceiver there are no more senses that you could mislead leave me you deceiver you already took my whole life there is nothing left to take nothing gets through me anymore it feels like I am under morphine and the days have turned into years every moment I am just pretending my sympathy the only feeling I could truly say I feel is apathy no words will hurt me now no touch will reach me no thought that bothers me noone can break these walls around me am I blind or do I live in darkness I remember your last words, they make me be like this I really became heartless, I feel nothing anymore I give up
5.
Black Clouds 03:26
Oceans away I am drowning I will hold my breath forever or until my lungs collapse hope can be found in hopeless situations they said to me as I was lying on the ground after the flood black clouds will turn white again these black clouds above us promising a new beginning and the rain will wash away our traces that we´ve left behind slowly I am sinking to the ground and my life is just passing by infront of my eyes I feel not dead but not alive how could I have been so naive to believe that words would build me up again fear is losing its meaning when nothing can hurt you at all feelings are made for the weak I´ve decided to be strong the river below us has become a sea and with every raindrop it´s becoming an ocean these black clouds above us have turned white now the rain has washed away our traces that we´d left behind
6.
Everything is better than staying here it feels like getting sick and never been healed again we have everything we need and everything we wanted seems to get closer the further we´re going take what you want or leave everything behind we´re leaving the harbour with no ticket home sometimes life is like playing hide and seek we´re finding land on a stormy sea sometimes we´re searching a lifetime sailing on every ocean climbing every mountain and crawl through the desert to realize that home probably wasn´t as bad as believed too much time has been wasted in searching it feels bad it feels better heading for something that our life won´t give us will I feel better or am I just getting old why are we longing for something better even if it´s everything allright our ignorance is leading us to the cure that doesn´t exist
