1, 2, 3, 4 I'm falling to my knees I'm crying out and begging to you Please, please don't deny I need to know if I was right or wrong 3, 4, 5, 6 You promised not to lie to me To tell the truth Though I may not like what I hear Or what I see in you Every second holds a lovely memory of you Every second breeds a new one that I have to cling to Time after time all the hours I've counted 1, 2, 3, 4 Numbers all in vain, all in vain Time after time I am longing for a release Let the time stand still 5, 6, 7, 8 You say I am too late You need to do just what you think is true And I shall not hold on to things I can't define as right or wrong 7, 8, 9, 10 And then again You stand in front of me With eyes of gold and grey And let me pray to every word you say Every second holds a lovely memory of you Every second breeds a new one that I have to cling to Time after time all the hours I've counted 1, 2, 3, 4 Numbers all in vain, all in vain Time after time I am longing for a release Let the time stand still

I scatter words and papers, useless facts and scenes Consider what you said and live within my means That's what I am, what I become That's what I choose when I choose you Clouds and thunderstorm and dusty shadows Dark and endlessly I'm prepared to see the mountains crumble Come on, let the skies fall on me (x2) I'm not afraid of losing hope or liberty I know I'm always getting out of misery That's what I am, what I become That's what I choose when I choose you Clouds and thunderstorm and dusty shadows Dark and endlessly I'm prepared to see the mountains crumble Come on, let the skies fall on me (x2) Let them fall Let them fall on me Clouds and thunderstorm and dusty shadows Dark and endlessly I'm prepared to see the mountains crumble Come on, let the skies fall on me (x2) Let them fall on me Come on let them fall

Here I am, where are you? Are you scared of yourself or of me? I am here, I can wait I can see through your half-hearted hate You can torture me and tear my life apart I will be your worst fear Into your skin and bones You will never find me Into your thoughts and breath You will never find me Into your skin and bones You will never find me Into your thoughts and breath You will not find me Love and hate, we share both I find comfort in all of their schemes Trust my words, I can see Your affliction within your means You can torture me and tear my life apart I will be your worst fear Into your skin and bones You will never find me Into your thoughts and breath You will never find me Into your skin and bones You will never find me Into your thoughts and breath You will not find me In a distant memory you will forget my name You forget my face and hand And time will do the same But then again a fading scent Will make you turn your head And in a memory I stand What you mostly regret You can torture me and tear my life apart I will be your worst fear Into your skin and bones You will never find me Into your thoughts and breath You will never find me Into your skin and bones You will never find me Into your thoughts and breath You will not find me Into your skin and bones I will never leave your mind I will be there in every moment, every thought, every breath you take You can torture me and tear my life apart I will be your worst fear Into your skin and bones You will never find me Into your thoughts and breath You will never find me Into your skin and bones You will never find me Into your thoughts and breath You will not find me

Pass me by like snow vanishes on frozen hands Down the spine like days without a compliment It's been years since we have truly been one Things I store within the deepest core Not revealed to whom they're really meant for Everything is already said and done Blood on my hands dripping on the floor, to my feet Blood in my chest now racing with my heartbeat I was condemned when I first saw you There is no coming back from you Stay! For day is turning into night Stay! My eyes no longer see the light Stay! The color's fading into black and white Stay! For day is turning into night Stay! My eyes no longer see the light Stay! The colors once have been so bright Stay black and white Look at me as you once did with kinder eyes I am still the one who has to pay the price Anything you asked I did it for you When you leave, remember the times we had Think of me with love instead of regret Bear in mind that I was always true Blood on my hands dripping on the floor, to my feet Blood in my chest now racing with my heartbeat You were condemned when I first saw you There is no coming back from me Stay! For day is turning into night Stay! My eyes no longer see the light Stay! The color's fading into black and white Stay! For day is turning into night Stay! My eyes no longer see the light Stay! The colors once have been so bright Stay black and white Stay with me See the light Turn black and white

They listened at the porch that day A story on and on I told them of a life before When days had just begun All my hopes I told to the sun To the stars and the moon But we just live once I met him in a crowded time When no one dared to breathe And just with a glimpse of an eye We lay in cross-leaved heath All my hopes I told to the sun To the stars and the moon But we just live once I left when autumn came to stay For time was flying by And the trees where growing old Life is too short I was too young You know the days had just begun All my hopes I told to the sun To the stars and the moon But we just live once

Wind upon my shattered skin Words predict a new begin I recall your eyes reflect the skies Dirt under my tired feet In my hand an empty sheet Words will never save me from your eyes Speak to me now, tell me a tale Tell me a secret no one knows If I awake, lifting the veil Show me the path that no one dares to go As if I could see through your disguise I stare into your eyes I would stand a thousand fights But we're not meant to be I would compose a thousand rhymes To heal the misery When everything turns dark tonight We’re still not meant to be The day in all it’s warming light Can’t heal the misery Water flows in broken times Covers up our silent crimes Still they are reflected in your eyes Warm and soft a tender stroke Like a leaf of poison oak Do you know we have to pay the price? Speak to me now, tell me a tale Tell me a secret no one knows If I awake, lifting the veil Show me the path that no one dares to go As if I could see through your disguise I stare into your eyes I would stand a thousand fights But we're not meant to be I would compose a thousand rhymes To heal the misery When everything turns dark tonight We’re still not meant to be The day in all it’s warming light Can’t heal the misery

Never trust what is said Never think just what they tell you to Never try to be like them Stones turn to dust Beauty will turn to age We are born to fade You've always been a part of me For ever and ever I will think of you It's always hard to see you go You are all I know You are all I know Always reach for the sky Always look out for the one behind Always be ahead of all Stones turn to dust Beauty will turn to age We are born to fade You've always been a part of me For ever and ever I will think of you It's always hard to see you go You are all I know You are all I know Every time I stop, every time I go on I think of you Every time I turn Every time I reach out for you I'm alone You've always been a part of me For ever and ever I will think of you It's always hard to see you go You are all I know

Die Sonne scheint auf ausgedörrte Erde Stein um Stein nimmt ihre Wärme auf Seelenungeduldig ist was ich dann werde Und sie geht trotzdem weiter ihren Lauf Was ist es, das ich such in diesen Stunden? Mein Leben ohne Halt und sichren Steg Warum nur ist mein Herz an dich gebunden? Und ich nicht frei zu wählen meinen Weg? Die Luft ist feucht von regennasser Schwere Die Wasser füllen sich mit sanfter Last Körperlos schweb ich in tauber Leere Vergesse Schmerz und Lärm und Hast Kälte zieht der Fuss in breiten Flüssen Von Händen zerrt der Wind das Fleisch herab Und doch als würdest du mich leise küssen Bin ich wie Schnee in dieser fremden Stadt Was ist es, das ich such in diesen Stunden? Mein Leben ohne Halt und sichren Steg Warum nur ist mein Herz an dich gebunden? Und ich nicht frei zu wählen meinen Weg? Und bin ich auch in buntem Duft wie neugeboren So bin ich nicht wie Blum- und Knospenschar Ich bin in dieser Welt so ganz verloren Und Vögel nisten weich in meinem Haar Das ist es, das ich such in diesen Stunden Wenn ich nicht finde Halt noch sichren Steg Dann dank ich, dass mein Herz an dich gebunden Und ich nicht frei zu wählen meinen Weg

Alas, my love, alas Some things slip away so easily Hold on to the time You were so perfectly mine In a different time I lay my head to rest On a bed of silk and thyme And rosemary upon my chest No hand to guide my heavy dreams No eyes to lighten deeper means No lungs to share a common breath No skin to hold in soft caress We are grown apart In a time astray But your boldly flaming heart Is making me stay Alas, my love, alas Some things slip away so easily Hold on to the time You were so perfectly mine

Have you ever been told what to do? Have you ever been pushed around? Have you ever been asked to lie? Just a little lie, just a little little lie Have you ever been truthful with me I have never been asking anything That you can’t give That you can’t give Give me a sign Give me the confidence Give me a chance to evolve Tell me a lie Tell me I'm blind Tell me that I'm not worth the fight I'm worth the fight Have you ever been all by yourself? Have you ever been lonely to the core? Maybe you would understand Maybe you would understand Give me a sign Give me the confidence Give me a chance to evolve Tell me a lie Tell me I'm blind Tell me that I'm not worth Give me a sign Give me the confidence Give me a chance to evolve Tell me a lie Tell me I'm blind Tell me that I'm not worth the fight I am gone with the wind never to be seen I am gone with a kiss on your lips I am gone with the wind never to be seen I am gone with a kiss on your lips

We celebrate the wars we win We fuck the guys we hate We drown our sorrows in a pool of gin And wonder why we're always late We dress ourselves in skinny jeans We choose our mental leaders And wonder what the hell it means When they refuse to heal us We are better when we drink We're much better when we don't think That is everything we've got Running in our blood (x2) We pack a pair of shoes to walk And one that just looks nice How come you cannot stop to talk When I try to apologize? What we did were our choices We thought that we should have known We're losing our pretty voices By yelling at walls of stone We are better when we drink We're much better when we don't think That is everything we've got Running in our blood (x2) We leave when we're supposed to stay We pray when there's no other way The room is full of pretty liars And we want more and we want higher We are better when we drink We're much better when we don't think That is everything we've got Running in our blood

Take this kiss upon the lip And let me see a smile Your image is the golden drip That guides me for a while My days are a dream My nights are a lie You are what I seek to hold In the cold of the times All that we see or seem to be Is but a dream within a dream within a dream All that we see or seem to be Is but a dream within a dream I wait up on a golden shore With sunshine in my hands While listening to the endless roar I hope for farthest lands My days are a dream My nights are a lie You are what I seek to hold In the cold of the times All that we see or seem to be Is but a dream within a dream within a dream All that we see or seem to be Is but a dream within a dream Can I not hold you in my arms so tight? Can I not save you from the cold of bitter times? In a smile or in a pitiless embrace We are not supposed to be All that we see or seem to be Is but a dream within a dream
