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

Tale 04:24
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 03:28
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

Sky 01:30

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

Depths 04:28
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

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
