A Backward Glance

Just take, Just take one look back
It's obvious to see
Narrow minds and blackened hearts
Should this be our legacy?
It makes me sick!
…and I,
I want to wash it away,
like dirt from my skin
Everything that you've done
Everything that you've been
So, just tell me
Who are you to decide
Who has the right to survive?
So, go on just tell me
what's it you're longing for
and is it all worth this?
I can't stand it anymore
With every further step,
you leave a bloody footprint
In every word you speak,
I smell the lie that lies within
No!, I won't,
I won't shake this greedy hand
I want to wash it away
like dirt from my skin
Still you refuse to acknowledge
this misery we're in
Just take, Just take one look back
It's obvious to see
Narrow minds and blackened hearts
Should this be our legacy?
It makes me sick!
This ship is sinking
We're all about to drown
We have to change our way of thinking
This ship is sinking
We're all about to drown
Weight down
by our self-made crown

...like I'm about to lose grip of my life
Day in day out, an endless strife
Wandering around, nowhere to hide
Keeping the sadness always by my side
...and to be honest
I don't need anything
or anyone else to drag me down
because this always was
something I was capable of on my own
I feel like I slept for years
but right now even that
seems nowhere near enough
My teeth are pounding from endless grinding
My fingers hurt from nervous biting
But I know that seasons change
and that any kind of gloom
will eventually fade away

A Promise
01:41
|

From this day on
I want to change myself to the good
and leave behind
who I used to be
Is there still hope?
Is there still hope for me?
One thing left to say
'I am truly sorry!'

First Part Of A Tragedy

It seems that
this might be
what he deserves
for crushing her world
And it seems that her life hast lost sense
since she's aware of the distance
between dream and reality
And now he only got himself to blame
Oh, what a shame, what a shame
What did you do it for, boy?
What did you do it for?
Remember her hopeful whisper
Let's pretend we would be happy forever
Let's live a lie together
It was not enough
...and she said
Let's pretend we would be happy forever
Let's live a lie together
It was not enough
Another love lost

Chasing Dreams
03:51

With every further passing night
I feel like losing hope
I feel like losing sight
Is there any sense
in chasing dreams?
After every step forward
follow two steps back
This bitter taste just won't leave
These fearful thoughts in my head
Oh my dear sun, I am afraid
it's getting harder every day
to warm my heart
Since I left home
years ago
with an untroubled mind
and a goal unknown
It felt like the whole world's in front of me
So many things to do, so many things to see
But what did I achieve?
Or could it be I'm nothing more but a fraud
with his lies falling apart
These questions stay with me
permanently
And I wish I could rest
just for a while
But then, from time to time
there appears a smile,
a pretty one
But unlike the doubts
she won't stay for long
What have I done?
Where did I go wrong?
You are actually aware,
so pick up yourself
You can do better than this
your heart screams for it
So, realizing what I want to be
was a painful process, indeed
And I hope that I've learned my lesson from it
I'm pretty sure I'm not alone feeling like this
So I just keep on waiting for better times,
whenever they might come
So I just keep on waiting for better times,
for me
for you
for everyone
