and I saw you glow
so full of life
now in winter cold
only echoes
where, where, where, where,
where does the white go
when the snow melts?
where, where oh where does the light go
when the sun goes down?
and the faces smiled
bodies full of life
now in graves of war
no one’s missing
where, where, where, where,
where does the white go
when the snow melts?
where, where oh where does the light go
when the sun goes down?

cry tonight
a missing self-love
when I’m now taking what’s left of me
with me
cry tonight
a fitting sendoff
when they’re all turning their backs on me
on me
time to sail
it’s said and done
silhouettes
will dance
till all the leaves have gone
time is theirs
now
cry tonight
I’m bare and helpless
when they’re all tearing what’s best of me
off me
cry tonight
a lethal serpent
when I’m taking what’s left in you
with me
you with me
time to sail
it’s said and done
silhouettes
will dance
till all the leaves have gone
time is theirs
now

Radio Blackout
03:31
|
|||
|
empty room
and empty glass
tune in
breathless life
I too feel numb
sometimes inside
places of waste
I live in grim silence
41, 42, 43, 44
I hunt frequencies
hours go by
and love is a wave

Sparks
03:31
|
|||
|
side by side
watching pictures
of a sad life
inside we die
dreaming same old songs
yet sleepless
all the feelings now bound in ice
then I left you there to die
side by side
chronic sickness of the sad life
if I could light a spark
you wouldn’t be alone
I wouldn’t fall to pieces
side by side
watching pictures
of a sad life
inside we die
dreaming same old songs
yet sleepless
sparks
side by side
watching pictures
of a sad life
inside you sparks
keeping me from falling
to pieces

The Sea of Fire
03:30
|
|||
|
time laid bare
you smile
in a twisted way
and I glow red
with blood
set on fire
then the night falls
and the tides
and the waves
burn
inside me
like the sea
on fire
one dirty play
one final game
place of hurt to haunt me
place of hurt to burn
one tiny flame
once sparked in there
please don’t grow
to hurt me
stay and burn
then the night falls
and the tides
and the waves
burn inside me
self-denial
the pain you run from
and the hurt
and the shame
drown your sorrow
in the sea of fire
the place you search for in the night
in my arms
there’s no tomorrow
so sail the fire

Daydarkness

this time tonight
the fire and the flame
the warnings were aired
on the radio after dark
and in this land of faith
the stillness of saints
keep calm, dream and yearn
for a sunlight far away
of all that’s outside
of all that’s outside right now
when the sun won’t rise
and fear eclipsing all there is
and I don’t know how to stop it all
from taking over me
and then hope like summer flowers
is wilting inside of me
when the midnight wind blows
distant voices echoing
go find the way in daydarkness
this time tonight
your body and your light
keep on glowing, keep me from
falling too fast, too far
and in this time of night
the cradle of you and I
whisper softly, hear a story
of a morning after dark
of all that’s outside
of all that’s outside right now
when the sun won’t rise
and fear eclipsing all there is
and I don’t know how to stop it all
from taking over me
and then hope like summer flowers
is wilting inside of me
when the midnight wind blows
distant voices echoing
go find the way in daydarkness

In Ictu Oculi
03:42
|
|||
|
lights for you
lights with you
it’s who we are
for you to stimulate
it’s who we are
in the end
somehow barely there
lights for you
lights with you
it’s where we are
for you to stimulate
it’s who we are
in the end
somehow barely there

Serpents
03:10
|
|||
|
the shattered glass
and lips
fall in two
and the voices saying
this is what I wanna do
and in the cold sun
you were whole to save me
and in the cold sun
one
do you often feel alive?
do you often feel what you long for?
when you can’t see the sun
when you can see what you hoped for
where do I go now?
I long to forget
memories buried
like serpents in the sand
the shattered glass
and lips
fall in two
and the voices saying
this is what I wanna do
and in the cold sun
you were whole to save me
and in the cold sun
one

The Vanishing
04:00
|
|||
|
kill the headlights
as the road
leads to nowhere
from dusk
till sunrise
we travel nowhere
nowhere at all
drive in the dark
and the white lines
vanishing someplace
can’t stop, can’t turn back
there’s nothing
nothing at all
drive through the night
in the rear view
hours are dawning
your guilt, my sick heart
we’re going
places unknown
