Strophe 1:We were so young and hot and wild
some years ago.
But then our ideals have been sold out
our spirits get low.
Today we phone sometimes
in a very friendly way
and when we meet we’re talking
about the good old days.

Refrain 1:
So I put on my mask and try
to smile at you, for you
but only for a while
then you go away
and I stay in my thoughts
and dark waves wash the smile away.

Strophe 2:
You’re playing with your lipstick and I feel
as if you’re playing with my soul.
You tell me about your warm ideas
and I only feel so cold.
We talk about your life and you don’t see
that I’m dying.
And in my heart I hate myself
while I’m lying.

Strophe 3:
Have you ever asked what’s the meaning
of this fucking life?
Have you ever asked for some reasons
and get no replies?
Have you ever asked yourself who rules this
piece of shit?
Don’t wait for an answer ‚cause you
won’t get it!

 

Refrain 2:
So put on your mask an try
to smile at me, for us
but only for a while
then we go away
and you stay in your thoughts
and dark waves wash the smile away …

Strophe 1:
Black veils are falling on my eyes and kiss them
dark velvet lies inside my head.
Colours turn to grey and things turn to nothing,
time loses its meaning for me.

Strophe 2:
Nothing from outside can touch or inspire me
and nothing from me gets outside.
I´m sitting in my isolation in silence,
and waiting for… I don´t know.

Strophe 3:
Thoughts come an go and I cannot control them,
unable to react and I feel
how they are wandering through my mind an begin
to torture my heart and my soul.

Strophe 4:
Someone talks to me, I can´t understand him.
Arrows coming out of his mouth.
He hurts me although, I don´t think that he wants to
or am I blessing myself?

Strophe 5:
Touching the skin and the eyes of a black ghost,
then he´s slipping inside me
killing some important parts of my spirit
and bloody tears run through my mind.

Strophe 6:
Waiting for cure and waiting for medicine,
waiting for a sign of you.
You try to tear the gloomy shield there around me,
but I don´t know if you really want to.

Refrain:
I need you
Feeling low, feeling low, feeling low, …

Strophe 1:
All I ask you for is the picture in my dreams.
All I ask you for is the key to your screams.
All I ask you for is a little air, so I can breath.
All I ask you for will be ignored if I’m not on my knees.

Refrain 1:
You don’t see the sun in my eyes,
you don’t feel the pain in my lies.
You won’t see…

Strophe 2:
All I ask you for is a moment of silence.
All I ask you for turns into violence.
All I ask you for a simple sign, day by day.
I don’t ask anymore cause memories fade away.

Refrain 2:
You don’t see the sun in my eyes,
you don’t feel the pain in my lies.

You won’t see, you won’t hear,
you won’t listen so save your tears… (x 4)

for another one, for another time,
for another world, for another life… (x 2)

Can’t you see I’m gone so leave me alone.
Everything is done so leave me alone…

No matter what comes, I’ll keep you in my mind,
but now my heart is closed and you are outside.

Strophe 1:
I wait for you.
I stand here alone.
My big cold friend
has already gone.
I feel your rise
look behind your disguise.

Refrain 1:
I dive into your light for a moment…
and I cry
I lay here at your side, fall asleep and…
end my flight.

Strophe 2:
Black turns to blue
then blue turns to red
I feel your warmth
a feeling I never had.
I don’t want to see
‘cause I know how cruel… you could be

Refrain 2:
I can’t flee your embrase you’re shining
In my mind
Your brightness kisses my face, I close
my eyes…or go blind.

Strophe 3:
The day wakes up
you take place on your throne.
No one could stop,
my sky in your home.
I feel you rise
look behind your disguise.

Strophe 4:
I enjoy your kiss
life has no sense without.
I don’t want to miss
your touch from the clouds.
I don’t want to see
‘cause I know how cruel you could be

Strophe 1:
she could be water but instead of healing
she is deserting all my feelings
she is the weakness that creeps through my bones
she is a spirit made out of stone

Strophe 2:
she’s a snake she’s the devil in me
torturing my fantasy
she’s a demon with poisoned wings
kissing with seductive stings
she’s like a flame that burns my brain
her words are driving me insane

Strophe 3:
she’s like faith she’s simply there
she eats my guts and i don’t care
she’s a trip that i cannot end
is the answer i don’t understand
she’s a killer and i don’t know
whether she is friend or foe

Strophe 4:
she’s an arrow and she’s drilling my head
she’s an angel laughing at the dead
she’s a beast and she’s the master tumbling me into
a deeper disaster
she’s a drug and she is feeding my dreams
her whisper sounds like desperate screams
she’s an ocean and she washes me away
she’s the dawn that finishes my day.

She is a snake, … devil, … deamon, … beast, … angel, … killer, … killer

Strophe 1:
My hand in your hand
we are walking down the street.
The air is noisy
and smells like rotten meat.
Someone’s pissing in an entry,
old man drink cheap alcohol,
one of them throws up and smiles
and I feel sickness in my bowls.

Strophe 2:
My mother comes home.
She works as a char-woman alldays
for me and my brother
our lives shall be better…
…than her´s, she says.
Frankie takes drugs, Johnny steals,
and my jobs will allways miss.
Daddy can’t help her with us,
‘cause we don’t know, where he is

Strophe 3:
Your father’s a drinker.
Sometimes he beats you black and blue.
He raped your sister
and you’re afraid, next time it’s you.
You can’t report him to the police,
‘cause they won’t believe you.
And Daddy’s got nothing to lose,
so he will kill you, if you do.

Strophe 4:
I have a dream
that I will once get out of this,
but till then
I have to take life as it is.
Soon you’ll have to sell your love
poverty’s a bloody curse.
But when I see the tramps in the street,
I know, it even could be worse.

Refrain:
For you it’s a nightmare,
but I have to live there.
So I take my girl for a dance,
and we enjoy our dustbin romance
