The Hangman Tree

God... God... God... I am at the window and don't know Whether my eyes are open or closed The hit was great but the sensation Gets better over and over I really don't know whether I'm awake or asleep I see monsters on the wall I can't remember my last six hours. My hands touch the glass And the glass is cold I see people outside And I'd like to say hello. Now I wanna be an angel Want wings and fly with them For a long time, I've wanted to complain Of certain things up above. I take a look around And my gaze captures My black and white images I'm the only one, who can see my Black and white images Black and white, Black and white world. Black and white, World. How can someone have heaven And hell like I do I turn my face to the old Colorless world. "It's hard to breathe after throwing up into my fishbowl Pets to prove my superiority Fish are stupid, but they're always colored They are and they were in "Rumble Fish"." The hit was great But the sensation always gets Better over and over My life is an eternal dark room Oh, black and white world! Did I despise them all? Did I annihilate 'em all? I've got lots to do 'cause I'm a god. A god of black and white images.

Perhaps I'm bat out of hell A soul with no ligth, Searching for a spell The creature God Really wanted to forget A forgotten soldier without wars Look at my face D'ya think God made me resembling Him at all No! Say no My god's called man. ...My lonely arms embrace the fields The fields, sweet purgatory I'm the owner of the fields Were men have planted loneliness The scarecrow I'm the scarecrow A fucking scarecrow A lost soul, Imprisoned in a fake body ...Scarecrow I'm the scarecrow No coward lion on my way I'm the scarecrow Scarecrow No girl called Dorothy And no tin man And no fuck damn yellow brick Road for me to take I'm the scarecrow I've got no pain - I've got no god. I'm the thing that makes a kid Cover his face with the hands In the hole were my eyes would be In its bottom lies a ligth If you look closely I'll be in you and you and you'll be in me Alone... Imprisioned... Alone... Imprisioned Alone I'me the owner of these fields Scarecrow...

Time said hellow throw the mirror The smile, Now scared is no longer funny The starting point was left behind So long ago The callours feet are feet that Never return ...Soul is a child crying in despair ...There was noise In the mist out there Time is like a whip tearing flesh Time is like a hurricane Spreading the sand And when we enchain ourselves to Overcome the flow of time. All the generations are buried by us And only the words survive The boy who will always be a boy Peter smiles And dances with my soul in pain Peter Pan against the world. ...Sleep boy ...Wake up man ...Sleep boy ...Wake up man Yesterday I woke up crying out For your name The scars in my wrists were Bleeding Yesterday I had to stand All those stupid tricks God played at me Time said hello through the mirror Time is like a whip tearing flesh Peter smiles 'cos flying's like magic The smile is no longer funny And the land of the chains On my feet And the land of the chains On your feet. And the game begins again With Peter Pan against the world.

Who gives a damn for my scars? I'm living in a no one's world A world of infinite deserts. Been on the way alone and Sometimes I stop on the road Listen to the song and hide myself In the darkness I'm only sure my feet are on the Road aways Taking me forward And when it happens, brother, you May be sure. Falling... I'm falling into my inner abyss Falling... I'm falling into my inner abyss Destiny had arms I did love to Amputate There were hands from them trying To strangle me. The secret is hidden inside Somewhere inside ourselves We know all the answers, but they Always play hide and seek But if you insist on awaking me Once again you'll find me walking In the dark I take a last look at you, my smile Is my despise And when it happens, brother, you May be sure... Falling... I'm falling into my inner abyss Falling... I'm falling into my inner abyss I turn my back on angels and Shake hands with the devil My callendar leaves fall down Like the hangman's mask We've been on the run, Running around... white Handkerchieves wave. I take a look at you, My smile is my despise And I'm smiling now Who gives a damn for my scars?

...Real wings. ...Forever goodbye to my wings made of wax. (Where do I go now now that I'm not part of the game anymore? The hipocritical tears of the losers Won't sow seeds in my ground, The ground were I belong now. My soul is free, there's no more pain... There are just questions... questions, Fucking questions. Where do I go now that I'm not part of the game anymore?)

[The Hell Where Angels Live] I'm like a terminal patient, Who's pulled off the wires Ladies and gentlemen, today's the Key-word is goodbye I'd like to stop the world And shout: why? Now I know the dictionary's most Difficult world is to live. Oh God! Oh God, Give one more chance to this Miserable soul I'd like to crawl and beg: Don't leave me alone Mother, The unknown boy is now forever Unknown Thanks to the old fellas for the Knives in my back The machines were turned off and My smile forever frozen (x2) Oh God! Where should I go When all places are next to me? My friend, Give my regards to loneliness I don't believe in tears anymore Now I live between God and the dog The old words Are born again for me I threw a grenade in my old Hiding place And I live now in the hell... Hell where angels live Hell where angels live [My Life is an Eternal Dark Room] My life is an eternal dark room [My Pain] My pain is like the pain of a father who buries his son My pain sleeps with the moon and wakes with the sun My pain leves each and every day of the callendar My pain is and everlasting fire. Pain... Pain... Pain...

Running... Running... Running to the light, said the film Guilty, guilty the jury said Strangle by a hope of old Grievances Far from hell And even farther from heaven I see spectres like faces before me Faces I love Faces I hate I'm the hangman tree Am a body or just a package? My masks are falling Like autumn leaves There's no doors to close. My tears, there's no reason to Keep'em inside The padlock that kept my pain Imprisoned has been opened Oh, the hangman tree The eyes of the time have passed Over the book of my life When my eyes were closed a door Was opened (they were there) Guilty said the man. Blood in may wrists... Blood in may hands My masks are falling, My face, my body. I know you are quite close. I know you can hear me... My mind connects to yours now. If you love me give me a name, Or I'll always be the hangman tree.

My eyes... can you see through them? Tell me what you see... free me Show me the way to go My body imprisons my soul I wanna run but my legs don't Answers me. Lies are like nails drilling my Hands and feet Television held me And closed padlock God's locked all my secret exists The harder it can be The end of all this I want it to stop now. Broken toys kept in the closet (x2) My life is like a circus Consumed in flames There's always an idiot saying the Show must go on Even when the knives-thrower Sheds fatal tears Bad memories danced in my mind They were like broken toys Kept in the closet Bad memories danced in my mind They were like decapitated dolls. And their glass eyes gazing the void. The carrousel goes round and we Smile for a moment The hall of mirror distorts us Making us smaller And there was something evil in That clown Made up smiles have ne'er deluded me

There's an immense void inside what Could once Be called life We all take a look back And always conclude Nothing was worthwhile (What has become of All those idiot dreams?) Another fucking empty bottle: Another fucking Sunday I unload my gun at everything I love Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone The phone rings and there's no one When I answer I try to laugh about it And this time without tears I'm naked sitting in the bath room The shower vomiting in me My life always had blanks That I've always Fillied with a goodbye To the old fellows, A toast and fuck off!!! The last thing I'd need are Merciful eyes. (Mind your own miserily lives) If you can't believe it try to ready My mind What I need most now is that you Turn around and fade away As in an old Hitchcok, Blood mixes with water Drunken eyes see far better, But you got to find The right drink Raise the blood red wine calix
