There is this feeling again
this blaze inside me
crawling up to my throat
let me scream it out
head in my hands
looking down to the ground
where is my strength
I was preaching about?
I'll find my faith
in your darkest days
it doesn't feel like
you can save me
from what I will become
Am I getting all I give?
is this all I gave?
your answers are just a small tatter
in my meshwork of questions
please give me a sign
that this journey
of hope and fear
wasn't in vein
cut your own flesh
to abandon your lies
where will this end?
where will we end?
it's easy to start
but hard to end
am I strong enough
to part the sea from the land?
You said I might be not strong enough
but here I stand
screaming my heart at you
stronger than ever before
You can't keep me away
from what I have become
now I know how this ends
this ends in pure silence.

City Lights

These city lights fade out
another endless night in a cold town
empty eyes all the way down the streets
left my fate in this dead-end town
but it will follow me to every place I call my home
these city lights may guide me
to the coldest places on earth
but I refuse to follow them
breaking my own promises I have never really kept
am I who I think I am?
Illusions of reality
dont want to go back from where it started
dont know where to put my hope
left my fate in this dead-end town
but it will follow me to every place I call my home
but I refuse
to follow them
into my own
depths of desperation

Burden

I was never the one for you to support
I was never the one for you with the right path
Just another burden
you have to worry about
Just another burden
you never wanted to have
I dont need your support when it has no heart
I dont need your help, when its nothing to you
I know you will never read this, neither understand this
cause you dont care, cause its nothing you want
you will never see, what this means to me
this is my everything
this is my everything
Just another burden
you have to worry about
Just another burden
you never wanted to have
I could never be the one you wanted me to be
I could never live this life you always wanted me to live

Insomnia

this heart wont slow down
these eyes just wont close
pictures of imperfection
keep me wide awake
I cant find the light
that brightens my inside
I cant find the ease
that calms my heart down
Orange and white lights guide me through the nights
to places of coldest ache and no sleep
These nights overwhelm me, they hollow me out
they take my thoughts and my sleep
Stabbing knives in my mind
killing the rest of whats left
tears keeping me blind
leaving a big cleft
I cant find the light
that brightens my inside
I cant find the ease
that calms my heart down
I'm begging for a rain to come, washing away these thoughts
of emptiness and no sleep
cold winds prevent my sight
keeping me numb, keeping me silent
but I cant sleep
wide awake
wake up
Stabbing knives in my mind
killing the rest of whats left
tears keeping me blind
leaving a big cleft
I cant find the light
that brightens my inside
I cant find the ease
that calms my heart down
this heart wont slow down
these eyes just wont close
pictures of imperfection
keep me wide awake

right decisions are
my worst enemy
hunting for truth
down the paths of desperation
why am I not the one I was supposed to be?
dont know where to go
staying, leaving, staying, leaving
light my way
Echoes of misery wont let me sleep
I let my dreams drown as I past the coast of fulfilling
I dont belong here, a nomad amongst settled souls
where's my fucking sanity? It's gone!
Feeling like a stranger in my own thoughts
hunting for truth
In perish this will end
down the path of hatred and pain
am I supposed to find the light?
find the light
show me, tell me, show me, tell me
how to control these thoughts that are driving me insane
one person, two personalities, I've got an enemy in my mind
hunting for the truth
searching for some hope

Nails

I've put so much into this
gave everything I had
for this one moment
I felt like I was breathing life
But then you smashed these nails
into my chest
these words push the air out of
my lungs
pulling these nails out of my chest
bleeding all out until there's nothing left
These nails cause so much pain
they are drowning deeper and deeper
wont let sleep, wont let me breath
wont let me bleed it out
Pulling these nails out of my chest
bleeding out all of these words
need to make space for some new blood
to fill me up with life again
There's nothing left
pulling these nails out of my chest
bleeding all out until there's nothing left

In the world of the blind
the one-eyed man is king
I see death in every corner
time is wasted for motionless pleasure
I cant live like this
I cant be like this
every try to escape
is cursed with more time
in this living hell
this life of apathy
I dont wanna see these bright lights anymore
drag and pull me down like a Ketos
fill my lungs with blackest death
I wanna see these lights fading
please take me out of this world
I dont wanna see it anymore
this world of greed and cold
Let me drown in this ocean
Let me forget time and space.

This life is nightmare
all dreams are gone
what's left is black determination
falling down the deepest abyss
hopeless.

Kingdom of the Leviathan

open my eyes, I see the darkest black
no light, just this black wall
storms of rage eroding the ground
fading into peaceful waves of pure silence
This is my kingdom where I put all my hate
to the grave of eternity
This is my throne where i will rest
there will be nothing 'til the end of time
I will stay here in my peace and quiet
slowly burying all my regrets
No harsh winds in my sails
crushing waves tearing me down
Open the gates, let the darkness in
let this black mass float into my veins
I dont care, if I see the light again
but one thing I know and will never forget:
If you stare into the darkness for too long
you will slowly become the darkness
Open the gates, let the darkness in
let this black mass float into my veins
my eyes turn black, cold liquid running through these veins
all this anxiety will enlight me
