Say my name, no beautifying filters. I'm craving that honest pain! These perfect lines are always out of place. Only you and I were born to break the chain. Caught in the framework, dying to belong. Escape the wasteland, don't forget who you are. Amnesiac! Don't let the world revolve around you, don't wait another day to re-erase your memory. Amnesiac! Don't let the dream dissolve without you. The more you know, the more they hold you back. Amnesiac! Mortal peace pushing through a needle, observing your every move. A thousand lies to avoid the question why Because the more you know, The more they hold you back. Caught in the framework, dying to belong. Escape the wasteland, don't forget who you are. Amnesiac! Don't let the world revolve around you, don't wait another day to re-erase your memory. Amnesiac! Don't let the dream dissolve without you. The more you know, the more they hold you back. Amnesiac! No beautifying filters beyond the perfect lines, this effortless intrusion. Stop, erase, rewind! Amnesiac! Escape the wasteland, don't forget who you are. Amnesiac! Don't let the world revolve around you, don't wait another day to re-erase your memory. Amnesiac! Don't let the dream dissolve without you. The more you know, the more they hold you back. Amnesiac!

We teach them to pretend not to break the line, to always look away and never ask why. We sit beside the cradle, we tell them to be brave, but when the warning sounds it echoes to the grave. We keep blindly moving along the same old path, no common sense would guide us back to life. Now look at us, the pinnacle conception. How we assumed these walls would never fall. Sleep! Farewell forever, child. Farewell! We are the last to walk the earth and watch the passing ages slowly sail. How it burns to embrace that, below the lilac skies, Eternity is just a breath away. In lockstep to damnation, to our dying breath, every reckless footprint leaves the smell of death. On the wilting meadows we let them out to play. We said "No need to worry", now they never may. Sleep, farewell forever! We are the last to walk the earth and watch the passing ages slowly sail. How it burns to embrace that, below the lilac skies, Eternity is just a breath away. Sleep, farewell forever! We are the last to walk the earth and watch the passing ages slowly sail. How it burns to embrace that, below the lilac skies, Eternity is just a breath away...

Tell me, tell me God, what is left here for me? I’m a ghost in the window, oh God set me free! And in twilight hours I await forgiveness that never comes. In an ocean deep, on a river wild, the water pulls me down, never to be found again. You never really know... How could I know? How many tears you own. Until the day they were gone! Gone without a trace until the day fall anew. Fall anew... Tell me, tell me God, what is left here for me? I’m a ghost in the window, oh God set me free! And in twilight hours I await forgiveness that never comes. Out there in the cold, remember me! Along the broken road of reveries. When you’re rising from the dead, reviving from the dust again. Like in a winterstorm... I’ll cover you! I’m burning in the cold... I’ll keep you warm! But I know I’m not alone as long as I believe in you! Tell me, tell me why, share your burden with me. You’re the ghost in the window and I’ll set you free. When in twilight hours you await forgiveness that never comes. Tell me, tell me God, what is left here for me? I’m a ghost in the window, oh God set me free! And in twilight hours I await forgiveness that never comes. Forgiveness will come for you!

When fatal thoughts in winding sense strive to go past the terminal line, is it cruel to ease the pain of those who seek redemption? Dare I take a leap of faith knowing my fears will materialize? I lay myself down at your grace, in stillness I surrender. Because underneath this kevlar skin I am waiting for you to uncover me. And in this armoured prison cell I'm hiding my scars. Come discover me! Tell me what is pain if not just fear, saying goodbye to a poisonous mind. I let it hurt and hope that you will be my soul's salvation. Because underneath this kevlar skin I am waiting for you to uncover me. And in this armoured prison cell I'm hiding my scars. Come discover me! My solitude, a loyal friend, you kept my darkest secret. And guarded my monotonous immortality, keeping the fire away! Because underneath this kevlar skin I am waiting for you to uncover me. And in this armoured prison cell I'm hiding my scars. Come discover me...

Stay until the morning light reveals my ruins. I was starving, now I hunger to feel and let your curiosity dismantle me. Now I just need your breath like a veil upon my skin. Come lay with me, this chemistry is static. Like space debris we're perfectly chaotic. So come and merge your storm with mine and save me. Stay, hold me as I'm trying to survive and wrap me in your comfort. My fears, I give them all to you to keep them safe for me. Because I just need your breath like a veil upon my skin. Come lay with me, this chemistry is static. Like space debris we're perfectly chaotic. So come and merge your storm with mine and save me.

When you’re trapped in your doubt and anger, and you’re wailing along like you relish the fail. When your life turns to be deception, and you’re scratching the walls on your cell. Each step requires mad devotion! Mindfall Remedy! No one else will catch you, only you possess the key. Mindfall remedy! All those rules were dissembling a future, and you feel like you burn in emotional Hell. With the absence of love and compassion, every stone is a mountain high. Each step requires mad devotion! Mindfall Remedy! No one else will catch you, only you possess the key. Mindfall remedy! I feel my tower crumbling With my resistance low. I’m living in a vacuum, I’m falling to the core. In the core of resistance, to face my inner self, lies the key to my existence to help myself. Mindfall Remedy! No one else will catch you, only you possess the key. Mindfall remedy!

Welcome in, I’ll walk you through the unknown. Say a prayer if you wish. In my hand all of the answers to your nightmares, just let go of your broken dreams. Let the journey begin like a leaf in the wind. You’ll be taken away to a world of visions unseen. Imagine if far beyond the set horizon, nothing can turn into everything. But hurry before it’s too late and the old Ballerina takes her fall. Let me show you a place where the blind can see the light of a shooting star. Like a dancer up high on a silver string, let your actions define who you are. Tell the stories unheard! Follow me, I’ll take you to the unknown. Discover me, let me in. Please honor me with the choices you’ve been given, remember me when my breath is cold. As the journey begins, let the stories you tell be your own. Let me show you a place where the blind can see the light of a shooting star. Like a dancer up high on a silver string, let your actions define who you are. Tell the stories unheard! Though I love you I’ll leave you forever, praise the time I was here. Celebrate all our chapter together, have no fear when I’m gone. Let me show you a place where the blind can see the light of a shooting star. Like a dancer up high on a silver string, let your actions define who you are. Tell the stories unheard!

She wrote down this line on the barren wall to not forget her trail of dreams. But through the haze of her fevered pain her thoughts were hard to understand. Born without a name on the darkest day, her future was already written. As fantasies turned to poems on the stone, the world began to come alive. She made me smile though years passed by. Come day, come night, my crimson bride is dancing on fields of gold. This scenery will never fail in my dreaming mind. Dreaming mind! All through these days I have held your hand, we never left the velvet cage. Vespertine, our memories relive. My irresistible demise! She made me smile though years passed by. Come day, come night, my crimson bride is dancing on fields of gold. This scenery will never fail in my dreaming mind. Vague are the images around me, and old is the color of the night! She made me smile though years passed by. Come day, come night, my crimson bride is dancing on fields of gold. This scenery will never fail in my dreaming mind. Dreaming mind!

I. The Proud Where have all the heroes gone that used to bleed for us? Still holding on to fading lullabies, and fear the end when every note is lost. How can we know, if a glance beyond the shadow wall could free our souls. In the wake behind the virtuous we carry on, while listening to the poetry of lies. And darkened by the prosperous we carry on, as ignorance of human life subsides. They left us blind and broke our pride, they told us to be brave. But like an insect drawn to light we circle around the radiance of truth. How can we know, if a glance beyond the shadow wall could free our souls. In the wake behind the virtuous we carry on, while listening to the poetry of lies. And darkened by the prosperous we carry on, as ignorance of human life subsides. I am you, you are me. Feel the grace, I set you free. I am the empire... II. The Broken I am learning to crawl, denying the fall. In time I’ll stand again! I am bare to the skin, I’m refusing to give in. You can’t break my heart again! But I try, I keep trying, and I dying to forgive. All the matters is what’s going to be. I try, I keep trying, I dying to forgive. I am you, you are me! In the wake behind the virtuous we carry on, while listening to the poetry of lies. And darkened by the prosperous we carry on, as ignorance of human life subsides.
