These Days to Come

So many days have passed
So many nights I didn’t sleep
So many smiles I misspent,
And so many people I deceived
So many dreams I wished to come true,
But so few did
Feels like falling
All the things I started
And all the things I couldn’t cope with
So I often felt a breeze of faith, of life and of hope
But so often I was unable to move, unable to love and unable to forget
Feels like being trapped
Despite all these doubts I know who I am and what I am capable of
The first chapter has come to an end and I took my time to be prepared and ready
For these days to come

How to pick up the threads of an old life?
How to go on, when deep in your heart you begin to understand that there is no going back?
Some things even time cannot mend
Hurts and pain that go too deep, that have taken hold
Someone once told me my part in this story would end
That each of us must come and go
My story is told, told like it was written very long ago
And every moment was clear from the beginning
At last there’s only one journey left
Maybe it’s the main part of my story
But right here, at the coast of the sea, this journey starts

My Old Home

Take me back to where the story began
I re-enter the place where we were born
I close my eyes and try to remember
When I lost track and how it came to this
Turning around and around
But I sense nothing but this back-breaking void
I feel like an island – lost and remote
Praying for forgiveness and my old home
Searching for the answers in my faded past
But all of my tears have already dried to dust
Tell me where I have gone wrong
I wish I was there, when I had a choice
Because I was supposed to be someone different
And my biggest wish is to get back to where everything began

Who’s that boy lying on a clearing?
Surrounded by wood and verdancy
Who’s that man sitting on pavement?
All verdancy is gone
And massive buildings cover the sun
The world has turned and I lost my head
Bad words created, that a weak will couldn’t resist
I have changed into something I never wanted to be
I wish I could live the future of the past
Not the hell which takes all my strength
Not to be chased by every fucking move
And the fear of loneliness
Nonetheless there is a sky and clouds above my head
And I am lying on a clearing

How far will we fall?
Slowly forgotten what we’ve once lived for
Our wishes get out of hand
We lose sight of all the things
That meant so much to us
We won’t rest ‘til we reach satisfaction
No matter what it takes
No matter what needs to be done
We just believe every fucking word we say
We just believe every fucking lie we tell
Only our fears keep us alive and awake
Only our fears make other people suffer
I hope we will rise and see the pain we caused here
I hope we will rise and overcome the pain we caused here
How far will we fall?
We are not supposed to serve devil’s vanity
Open up your hearts to let them beat again

But I'm Alive

Upright at a street not willing to cross it
Thinking and fearing about a step towards the other side
My empty mind, filled with burning thoughts
Deafening silence, filling every hopeful space
I cannot remember, how I got to this place
No traces behind me, no one beside me
But there is something, someone who’s pulling
Pulling me back whenever I make a move
Then I hear voices, from anywhere afar
Trying to burst and break the wall
But there’s still someone that holds me back
The dust of voices builds a face
I see myself from face to face
“Make a step” is all I hear
“Make a step, there’s nothing to fear”
I start a fight
I raise my hands
I scream down the wall
The way is longer than it seemed to be
But every step is so much more than freedom
Finally, the end is near
I feel like I could fly
I turn around and see myself
A dark, empty case of myself
But I’m alive
