Masterpiece
04:36

|||
Out of the tomb into the womb you crawl
With blinded eyes you pull the shortest straw
It didn't work exactly as you planned
But this is not the end
A perfect life left for me to screw
With folded hands we paint the ceiling blue
A comfy place to be but i have dreamt
There is someone else to be thought of in the end
There is such a silence down at nightfall
Thick enough to keep us down after dark
We sail into the storm, right into our homes
Do you got enough forgiveness to forgive us all?
A desperate try to keep your face unharmed
The different gods just keep their angels armed
Let me comprehend at least a clue
Let us begin somewhere new
I didn't wait for summer days to come
The summer came, you were already gone
Thrown into a boiling pot of tar
I catch some mice and keep 'em in a jar
There is such a silence down at nightfall
Thick enough to keep us down after dark
We sail into the storm, right into our homes
Do you got enough forgiveness to forgive us all?
The roses hang their heads deeper to the ground
A flaw in this masterpiece has recently been found
The sailsmen catch up their sails in fear of being drowned
As the wind cracks up the ship and drags them round and round
This fever hit me hard and leaves me with a cold
My fingers immovable, they tie me to the stove
Between all the shattered truths i'm caved inside my own
Failed curiosity
There is such a silence down at nightfall
Thick enough to keep us down after dark
We sail into the storm, right into our homes
Do you got enough forgiveness to forgive us all?
Another brick stone laid into the wall
Along the windy road that separates us all
A cross on the mountain top
It's hard to keep the view on our warped astronomy

Into The Haze
04:30
|

You greet with laughter from the inside
Take a step back, say it's alright
Compensation for why you never try
Compensation, lucky to be alive
Before i go
Before i go into the haze
I fall
A common offer has just arrived
And you sold it to the other side
A straight desicion is never wrong
Not even half as bad after all
Your humming engine pumps steam in our minds
And you just sit there and watch our heads collide
Wish i don't have to explain it all
If you don't get it, well that's your fault
Go waste yourself just like your makeup
It runs when you cry
Beheaded angel, a one-winged butterfly
Just repetition inside of us
Coalescing with what we lost
For a leader i lack the cross
I'm suffering from attention loss
Scratch me off of your tv screen
Now i'm stuck somewhere in between
I'm not asking for a ride
Just trying to get by
A great desicion in your own eyes
The consequence you defy
Snuff me into your handkerchief
Leave me wrecked with disbelieve
Falling straight into solitude
Just waiting for somebody new
Before i go
Before i go into the haze
I fall

Shore
04:08
|
|||
It's a matter of time 'till we know where to find
The island you've been hiding for a while
We're roaming our old street, dance 'till our eyes meet
Somehow we've all lost this time
And we know where to find you, know where you lie
But your name has fallen out of sight
I stare into my own eyes
Listen to the black bile
Telling me the friends i have yet to leave behind
I scream into the distance calling for forgiveness
All that i have said, well i hope that you don't mind
I better go, better not try to talk and be unmindful
You've heard enough, but i still like to chase
Carry on wandering your wards and there at the road's end
Everything is falling into place
You know where to find us, know where we try
To retrieve the slowly fading dye
I stare into my own eyes
Listen to the black bile
Telling me the friends i have yet to leave behind
I scream into the distance calling for forgiveness
All that i have said, well i hope that you don't mind
From the core to the skin, creepig up
To the mouth, blistering
Lift me up, 'cause i'm falling
Breathing in, laughing loud
Tell yourself you're the one breaking out, breaking in
And i'm falling with arms wide open
There's no name on your own cross
Missing for all ouf us
I stare into my own eyes
Listen to the black bile
Telling me the friends i have yet to leave behind
I scream into the distance calling for forgiveness
All that i have said, well i hope that you don't mind
Now the sign at the road's end leads to the shore

Demons
04:40
|
|||
There are footprints, a 44 in the yard
Leading to the shed behind the house
And the candlelight flickering
A single tear is trickling down your cheek
You're trapped like a mouse
Before you open up the door
And stand before me
You wipe the single tear off your face
And you say that you tried
To vanish and hide
I just followed your trace
In your hands there's a brush and a canvas
You keep quiet, but there's a story it tells
And i sense your void
My questions you avoid
Your drawings they speak for themselves
There's a beast in the picture you drew
There's so much that i never knew
But your beast and my swine are tangled up
Your pretty face is showing what once was mine
These demons that once were mine
You ripped off my half of the photograph baby
Sucking the last blood out of me
Now there are two of us just feeling lost
And tired of hesitation
Wandering through restless minds
You took a ride on the backseat of my motorbike, darling
Rode it to the viewpoint up the road
Now there are two of us just feeling lost
Downed by disillusion
Falling through an open world
There's a beast in the picture you drew
There's so much that i never knew
But your beast and my swine are tangled up
Your pretty face is showing what once was mine
These demons that once were mine
It's the feeling of the tribe leaving you behind
And i tried to conquer the truth
It's a feeling i'd describe as the dying of a vibe
But i tried to conquer that, too
Somewhere in this life is a meaning and a scythe
Which comes first is not yours to decide

Empty Handed
04:10
|
|||
We're passing the wine, passing the gold and passing away, that's livin'
Cherish the rest and keep your chest locked it's what's been given
Keep up the pace as long as we pretend we're always winning
We're never done another death is just a new beginning
After the one died we leave the ruins empty handed
Remember the times we fought? We leave the walls that we defended
And as the wind subsides, you lead us into, you lead us into the fog
Since you left i feel a little, a little, little lost
The tear in your eye means letting go
Just hang up we're never getting old
Far from the docks is where we dwell
Shut it up, there's no need to tell
Trying to keep the face
(face) to face we meet then gone without a trace
Since you left i feel a little, a little, little lost
With a silent scream through darkest nights and empty bottles
Three more years from now i'll drown myself in muddy waters
I'll follow you down to the sea and hike across forbidden borders
To reunite what used to be divided into quaters
I never meant to cause you trouble though the words came out
You know me far to well i'm not the first to talk, i'm not the first you tell
The drak clouds hovering above you everywhere you go
It's just a normal conversation as we wander through the snow
The tear in your eye means letting go
Just hang up we're never getting old
Far from the docks is where we dwell
Shut it up, there's no need to tell
Trying to keep the face
(face) to face we meet then gone without a trace
Since you left i feel a little, a little, little lost

Missionary Scene
05:06
|
|||
You got a lot to take, you're just a pressure valve
Your little actions girl, they speak for themselves
In the aftermind, is it what we can see?
The perfect misfit love, you want us to believe
And still what you say summons all
And still my heart beats against the wall
And still what you say summons all
I saw you screaming girl in your missionary scene
I gave an extra load to my little beauty queen
It's just a riddle i will never understand
I'll wait with open arms although you're second hand
I want to see but not to watch
The cursor jumps right to the cross
My hand's too busy making moves as you moan
Wish it was me you seduce
Until the burst i'm not the same
Your face is spilled with his cocaine
I turn my head but i still stare and you still moan
Wish it was me i'm watching there
Cover up your scars and take the faster lane
You don't need your scarf and you don't need your brain
So hang up your phone and lay down in the scene
We're gonna make them crave like you did it with me
And still what you say summons all
And still my heart beats against the wall
And still what you say summons all
Follow me into the fame
Swallow my smutty cocaine
I'd never do you any harm
I just repeat what you have already done

We make a ride to the sea, gotta take care of myself
Although conveyed by the priest, can't call god for help
Father collect your sheep which went astray
I get down on my knees but not to pray
Take care or your feelings rise way up to the skies
God lived in my neigbourhood, struggling to survive
I enterd with a broken leg, left with brand new eyes
A dog without a tail
Afraid to come before my time
Your head's going south
Wipe the holy water from the corners of your mouth
Take care or your feelings rise way up to the skies
God lived in my neigbourhood, struggling to survive
I enterd with a broken leg, left with brand new eyes
A dog without a tail
Boo, boo come here my little mistress and help yourself
A helping hand out of your dress and the clock strikes twelve
Same place, same time, i never saw that look on your face
Lick it clean and you'll be saved, trapped inside your maze
The hunt is up again, are the children ripe?
If i get enough before they uncover the lie?

Abyss
04:06
|
|||
You say I got a grain of dust stuck in my eye
You think I'm gonna kneel down, lower my pride
But with your measure it will be measured to you
Well I never do anything twice
The two feet of mine still must suffice
But i've got to better?
So this feeling will never stop
There's a limit for all of us
I caught a fever that i'll never lose again
You lower the limits here for us all
But it's your own rules you don't recall
It's the feathers coming out of your skin
There never was a problem, never was a fate
You only need a scapegoat and a tax must be paid
It's the killers coming out for you
Nail yourself to a silver cross
Last picture of a flowering wheat
The proof of insatiable greed
I am innocent my hands moved unwillingly
It's just your severed head on a pole arousing me
And the abyss of mind that's calling home
Call it ficition, a counterfeit
You love yourself so you preach love
You know nothing but you said enough
So this feeling will never stop
There's a limit for all of us
I caught a fever that i'll never lose again

Nothing Special
04:24
|
|||
We like the same space, but I like to keep it wide
I'm of a new race, I'm neither black nor am I white
You ask what's my name, to me your names do not apply
Ich bin ein Unikum, something your words can not describe
I'm all alone, hush
I like to think I'm special
My nose is oddly colored
I wank to myself
You know I'm really special
Guess we won't meet tomorrow
Chi-pooooo
Chi-pooooo
Cheap cheap imitation
Come on, go lick the cieling, bride
Another flame lost, I'm about to sober up
I am your nova lover, another man, get it behind
I'm all alone, hush
I like to think I'm special
My nose is oddly colored
I wank to myself
You know I'm really special
There will be no tomorrow
The sweet taste of my carelessness, a sting into the hive
Quick and to the pointless, be my middlewife
We rush into progression, the diamond cards collide
Sweet taste of my recession, lay your hands aside
Break your ties, hold back the vomit and follow me
Crush the rot, collect the feeling and strip the tease
Open up the wallet, pay for the counterpiece
One step back to see it in its entirety
Just a crack inside the shell of paternity
Lift me up, the widow's strength is philosophy
Simple mind, a greeting leads to a felony
A little akward though, yet without affiliation
You're frowning well today, you need a helping hand to whine? (hell no)
Just watch your mouth, kid, another nosh-up's on the rise
A broken slate with lines, again the seasons have been bribed
I'm all alone, hush
I like to think I'm special
My nose is oddly colored
I wank to myself
You know I'm really special
Guess we won't meet tomorrow
The sweet taste of my carelessness, a sting into the hive
Quick and to the pointless, be my middlewife
We rush into progression, just lay your hands aside

Us & The Downfall
04:15
|
|||
I tried to understand
Some things words can never mend
But something, something's in our way
And so we go, take out old photographs
Walk down all our different paths
But somewhere, somewhere there's an end
So i tried, be yours and kill the doubt
You're sure we'll work our difference out
But i thought, i thought you feel that, too
It never felt like home
Never felt like home
It's creeping down our walls
Sleeping in our beds
It never felt like home
Never felt like home
It divides us while we sleep
Plants thoughts into our heads
Outside the world caves
Deep entwined we face each others loving eyes
But inside a gyro you're slowly replaced
Just trying does not suffice
I'm pulling hot wires
Inside a queen dies
Yes, you did not suffice
It never felt like home
Never felt like home
It's creeping down our walls
Sleeping in our beds
It never felt like home
Never felt like home
It divides us while we sleep
Plants thoughts into our heads
It's like the world tries to show off its deepness
I like the sound of a waterfall
It's like this world hates nothing more than weakness
Birds are my favourite animal
And all this passion i have never seen in you before
I feel so lonely but i have to go, i have to go
And all these feelings i have never seen in you before
I am leaving, so now you show 'em, now you show
Thinkin' 'bout ways to get back home
Just trying, waiting for
Different chemicals
Wiping up the floor
I'm crying in my sleep
I got promises to keep
Never will they know, nor will they believe
It's like the world tries to show off its deepness
I like the sound of a waterfall
It's like this world hates nothing more than weakness
Birds are my favourite animal
I tried to understand
Some things words can never mend
But something, something's in our way

Rumors
04:24

I tried to think 'bout what you said again and again
But when you ask for it, I'm not remembering
I nod, I smile and make you feel like I understood
Well you don't need to know, I would if I could
I just can't keep my hands away, I redefine betrayal
I like to think of love in a different way
Come quick, cum quick and leave her lying under fading stars
You just want to be used but now you like the scars
The rumors of my own mouth hunt me down
And I throw my defecates against the wall
The odour of your crap makes me want you more
Since we crawled out of our holes, we found a million truths
Not a single one fits into my views
Under every stone to turn, a world conspiracy
The whole world is a moron except for me
The rumors of my own mouth hunt me down
And the truth hurts like it should, concrete sledge
Off guard in a ship steered to the edge
The chemical, there it goes creeping in
To the worng side of our fake dollar bill
A counterfeit without eyes
What's going wrong in my mind?
The precondition is wrong
Deliverance's gone but that was just one
Another cripple cripple fear is coming over me
I like the fault in the symmetry
One thing I can explain, ten left to falsify
My kid's just wound its knee and now it's doomed to die
Now the rumors of my own mouth hunt me down
And the truth hurts like it should, concrete sledge
Off guard in a ship steered to the edge
The chemical, there it goes creeping in
To the worng side of our fake dollar bill
