1. Kiss My Fear Away

A wintry morning
Only me alone
Alone with unmourned thoughts
They couldn't speak anymore

A silent afternoon
Far, I heard your voice
And whispering snow
Fell like an elegy

O calmest sleep – kiss my fear away

A peaceful evening
I was engrossed in self-oblivion
I couldn't weep anymore

A brooding ode to the night
Of raging agony
It was bleak and cold
I couldn't laugh anymore

Those sufferings I have shed for you
Will cry as bleeding memories
I dream to burn this incureable song
But how could I ever live again?

2. I Shiver

I shiver at the very thought
That you could leave this quiet room
Without a word of hope or a memory
Has it always to end in this way?
If I heard the sound of weary steps
I would think you would never wake again
All through those nights and fretful nightmares
A tightrope walker glided on my tongue

3. The Nature Of Music

Music is drifting
On invisable roads
Music is shelter
When your walls are grey again

Say, what do you feel when you listen to
a floating wave of moments
Say, what do you hear when you're alone
and the party is over

Music is naked
While you sing
Music is a cure
For a futile conversation

4. Bleak

My mind is bleak and toneless are these walls
Moments are passing by like trains that never stop
I think without a thought but somehow I think after all
The breath of nightly calm would cure my tumbling heart
You'd be frightened if you were here
To embrace my life – has to sear
The shore remains unmoved
By those rousing cries that are flirting with sleep
I've wandered to find
But still, still I'm not there
A journey so infinite
And still, still I'm not there
You'd be frightened if you were here
To encourage – life has to sear

5. It Never Felt Like This Before

You can't hear me speak
'cause I am mute
I hide too many things
I need a place to hope
I need your help to hope again

You see a laughing boy
This is not true – only a mirage
I can't conceal my fear
I have to be sincere

[Chorus:]
There is no way to forget
I broke your heart when I ran away
You didn't know what to do
I was only a stupid boy

When I look back now
I never felt so bad
To know that I've hurt you
Is worse than to break
Is worse than everything

Somehow I think my sparks are cold and useless
I play a role in a sad movie scene – a sad movie scene

I'm so afraid of myself
I'm so afraid of being here
I say sorry but it's not enough
I'm so afraid of losing my thoughts

6. The Wind And The Broken Girl

Your days are sleepy
Worn out and pale
Few clouds will disappear out of the blue
You touch the window pane
The rain feels dry
Your fingers kiss my brow out of the blue
A shade of streetlight
Is watching you
You give me a smile out of the blue
Your eyes tell me your tale of woe
So sad and deep that I can't go
Or do you want me to leave you again?
The grey chords of end
Are sounding nigh
And if they stroke you out of the blue...
I know it's late now
You don't let me in
A chilling butterfly – out of the blue

7. Can't Save Anyone

I thought it was over but it never will be
There's always something left in the air – a blink of you
Too many nights we spent together
Too many secrets we told each other
I won't forget your look when everything was dead again
for a while, for a minute

Can't save anyone
I have tried to tell you that I'm too sad and scared
Can't save any sun
You have tried to do the same but I wasn't there

Do you remember when we laid on our balcony
The flowing sound of music all around
A perfect easiness
A perfect moment to trust

8. Scared

I sleep on a thin drowning rope
To burn inside the fragile sea
I saw you fall many days
My nights were cruel – windless boughs
To you I wrote fevered rhymes
Oppressive sounds inspired me
I am...
...scared of a moment that won't come
...scared of a landscape draped with clouds
...scared of a wilted envelope
...scared of your poem's parting verse

9. So Close Yet So Far

Visit yourself and tell me how you feel
Always I knew what you meant but now I don't know
I see the trembling veil of your soul and tears that never dry...never dry
Woe is me – sometimes I can't sleep at all
So close – the distance still grows
And sickness, our foe, still blows
I noticed your fragile thoughts and stars that changed their colours
We sat together so far away...so far away
Yesterday I sang a melody of autumn
In your hearse we'll rest tonight
Tränensaat am Seelengrab
Das Leben zerrinnt
Ein Tropfen im Wind
Narbenworte, Bruderpein
Ach! Wer errät mein trübes Sein?
So close...yet so far...yet so far...
