1. Numbers

1, 2, 3, 4
I'm falling to my knees
I'm crying out and begging to you
Please, please don't deny
I need to know if I was right or wrong

3, 4, 5, 6
You promised not to lie to me
To tell the truth
Though I may not like what I hear
Or what I see in you

Every second holds a lovely memory of you
Every second breeds a new one that I have to cling to

Time after time all the hours I've counted
1, 2, 3, 4
Numbers all in vain, all in vain
Time after time I am longing for a release
Let the time stand still

5, 6, 7, 8
You say I am too late
You need to do just what you think is true
And I shall not hold on to things
I can't define as right or wrong

7, 8, 9, 10
And then again
You stand in front of me
With eyes of gold and grey
And let me pray to every word you say

Every second holds a lovely memory of you
Every second breeds a new one that I have to cling to

Time after time all the hours I've counted
1, 2, 3, 4
Numbers all in vain, all in vain
Time after time I am longing for a release
Let the time stand still

2. Falling Skies

I scatter words and papers, useless facts and scenes
Consider what you said and live within my means

That's what I am, what I become
That's what I choose when I choose you

Clouds and thunderstorm and dusty shadows
Dark and endlessly
I'm prepared to see the mountains crumble
Come on, let the skies fall on me

I'm not afraid of losing hope or liberty
I know I'm always getting out of misery

That's what I am, what I become
That's what I choose when I choose you

Clouds and thunderstorm and dusty shadows
Dark and endlessly
I'm prepared to see the mountains crumble
Come on, let the skies fall on me

Let them fall
Let them fall on me

Clouds and thunderstorm and dusty shadows
Dark and endlessly
I'm prepared to see the mountains crumble
Come on, let the skies fall on me

Let them fall on me
Come on let them fall

3. Skin And Bones

Here I am, where are you?
Are you scared of yourself or of me?
I am here, I can wait
I can see through your half-hearted hate

You can torture me and tear my life apart
I will be your worst fear

Into your skin and bones
You will never find me
Into your thoughts and breath
You will never find me
Into your skin and bones
You will never find me
Into your thoughts and breath
You will not find me

Love and hate, we share both
I find comfort in all of their schemes
Trust my words, I can see
Your affliction within your means

You can torture me and tear my life apart
I will be your worst fear

Into your skin and bones
You will never find me
Into your thoughts and breath
You will never find me
Into your skin and bones
You will never find me
Into your thoughts and breath
You will not find me

In a distant memory you will forget my name
You forget my face and hand
And time will do the same
But then again a fading scent
Will make you turn your head
And in a memory I stand
What you mostly regret

You can torture me and tear my life apart
I will be your worst fear

Into your skin and bones
You will never find me
Into your thoughts and breath
You will never find me
Into your skin and bones
You will never find me
Into your thoughts and breath
You will not find me

Into your skin and bones
I will never leave your mind
I will be there in every moment, every thought, every breath you take

You can torture me and tear my life apart
I will be your worst fear

Into your skin and bones
You will never find me
Into your thoughts and breath
You will never find me
Into your skin and bones
You will never find me
Into your thoughts and breath
You will not find me

4. Black And White

Pass me by like snow vanishes on frozen hands
Down the spine like days without a compliment
It's been years since we have truly been one

Things I store within the deepest core
Not revealed to whom they're really meant for
Everything is already said and done

Blood on my hands dripping on the floor, to my feet
Blood in my chest now racing with my heartbeat
I was condemned when I first saw you
There is no coming back from you

Stay! For day is turning into night
Stay! My eyes no longer see the light
Stay! The color's fading into black and white
Stay! For day is turning into night
Stay! My eyes no longer see the light
Stay! The colors once have been so bright
Stay black and white

Look at me as you once did with kinder eyes
I am still the one who has to pay the price
Anything you asked I did it for you

When you leave, remember the times we had
Think of me with love instead of regret
Bear in mind that I was always true

Blood on my hands dripping on the floor, to my feet
Blood in my chest now racing with my heartbeat
You were condemned when I first saw you
There is no coming back from me

Stay! For day is turning into night
Stay! My eyes no longer see the light
Stay! The color's fading into black and white
Stay! For day is turning into night
Stay! My eyes no longer see the light
Stay! The colors once have been so bright
Stay black and white

Stay with me
See the light

Turn black and white

5. Days Had Just Begun

They listened at the porch that day
A story on and on
I told them of a life before
When days had just begun

All my hopes I told to the sun
To the stars and the moon
But we just live once

I met him in a crowded time
When no one dared to breathe
And just with a glimpse of an eye
We lay in cross-leaved heath

All my hopes I told to the sun
To the stars and the moon
But we just live once

I left when autumn came to stay
For time was flying by
And the trees where growing old
Life is too short
I was too young
You know the days had just begun

All my hopes I told to the sun
To the stars and the moon
But we just live once

6. Your Eyes

Wind upon my shattered skin
Words predict a new begin
I recall your eyes reflect the skies

Dirt under my tired feet
In my hand an empty sheet
Words will never save me from your eyes

Speak to me now, tell me a tale
Tell me a secret no one knows
If I awake, lifting the veil
Show me the path that no one dares to go

As if I could see through your disguise
I stare into your eyes

I would stand a thousand fights
But we're not meant to be
I would compose a thousand rhymes
To heal the misery
When everything turns dark tonight
We're still not meant to be
The day in all it's warming light
Can't heal the misery

Water flows in broken times
Covers up our silent crimes
Still they are reflected in your eyes

Warm and soft a tender stroke
Like a leaf of poison oak
Do you know we have to pay the price?

Speak to me now, tell me a tale
Tell me a secret no one knows
If I awake, lifting the veil
Show me the path that no one dares to go

As if I could see through your disguise
I stare into your eyes

I would stand a thousand fights
But we're not meant to be
I would compose a thousand rhymes
To heal the misery
When everything turns dark tonight
We're still not meant to be
The day in all it's warming light
Can't heal the misery

7. Dust To Dust

Never trust what is said
Never think just what they tell you to
Never try to be like them

Stones turn to dust
Beauty will turn to age
We are born to fade

You've always been a part of me
For ever and ever I will think of you
It's always hard to see you go
You are all I know
You are all I know

Always reach for the sky
Always look out for the one behind
Always be ahead of all

Stones turn to dust
Beauty will turn to age
We are born to fade

You've always been a part of me
For ever and ever I will think of you
It's always hard to see you go
You are all I know
You are all I know

Every time I stop, every time I go on
I think of you
Every time I turn
Every time I reach out for you
I'm alone

You've always been a part of me
For ever and ever I will think of you
It's always hard to see you go
You are all I know

8. Der Weg

Die Sonne scheint auf ausgedörrte Erde
Stein um Stein nimmt ihre Wärme auf
Seelenungeduldig ist was ich dann werde
Und sie geht trotzdem weiter ihren Lauf

Was ist es, das ich such in diesen Stunden?
Mein Leben ohne Halt und sichren Steg
Warum nur ist mein Herz an dich gebunden?
Und ich nicht frei zu wählen meinen Weg?

Die Luft ist feucht von regennasser Schwere
Die Wasser füllen sich mit sanfter Last
Körperlos schweb ich in tauber Leere
Vergesse Schmerz und Lärm und Hast

Kälte zieht der Fuss in breiten Flüssen
Von Händen zerrt der Wind das Fleisch herab
Und doch als würdest du mich leise küssen
Bin ich wie Schnee in dieser fremden Stadt

Was ist es, das ich such in diesen Stunden?
Mein Leben ohne Halt und sichren Steg
Warum nur ist mein Herz an dich gebunden?
Und ich nicht frei zu wählen meinen Weg?

Und bin ich auch in buntem Duft wie neugeboren
So bin ich nicht wie Blum– und Knospenschar
Ich bin in dieser Welt so ganz verloren
Und Vögel nisten weich in meinem Haar

Das ist es, das ich such in diesen Stunden
Wenn ich nicht finde Halt noch sichren Steg
Dann dank ich, dass mein Herz an dich gebunden
Und ich nicht frei zu wählen meinen Weg

9. Astray

Alas, my love, alas
Some things slip away so easily
Hold on to the time
You were so perfectly mine

In a different time
I lay my head to rest
On a bed of silk and thyme
And rosemary upon my chest

No hand to guide my heavy dreams
No eyes to lighten deeper means
No lungs to share a common breath
No skin to hold in soft caress

We are grown apart
In a time astray
But your boldly flaming heart
Is making me stay

Alas, my love, alas
Some things slip away so easily
Hold on to the time
You were so perfectly mine

10. Worth The Fight

Have you ever been told what to do?
Have you ever been pushed around?
Have you ever been asked to lie?
Just a little lie, just a little little lie

Have you ever been truthful with me
I have never been asking anything
That you can't give
That you can't give

Give me a sign
Give me the confidence
Give me a chance to evolve
Tell me a lie
Tell me I'm blind
Tell me that I'm not worth the fight
I'm worth the fight

Have you ever been all by yourself?
Have you ever been lonely to the core?
Maybe you would understand
Maybe you would understand

Give me a sign
Give me the confidence
Give me a chance to evolve
Tell me a lie
Tell me I'm blind
Tell me that I'm not worth
Give me a sign
Give me the confidence
Give me a chance to evolve
Tell me a lie
Tell me I'm blind
Tell me that I'm not worth the fight

I am gone with the wind never to be seen
I am gone with a kiss on your lips
I am gone with the wind never to be seen
I am gone with a kiss on your lips

11. Running In Our Blood

We celebrate the wars we win
We fuck the guys we hate
We drown our sorrows in a pool of gin
And wonder why we're always late

We dress ourselves in skinny jeans
We choose our mental leaders
And wonder what the hell it means
When they refuse to heal us

We are better when we drink
We're much better when we don't think
That is everything we've got
Running in our blood

We pack a pair of shoes to walk
And one that just looks nice
How come you cannot stop to talk
When I try to apologize?

What we did were our choices
We thought that we should have known
We're losing our pretty voices
By yelling at walls of stone

We are better when we drink
We're much better when we don't think
That is everything we've got
Running in our blood

We leave when we're supposed to stay
We pray when there's no other way
The room is full of pretty liars
And we want more and we want higher

We are better when we drink
We're much better when we don't think
That is everything we've got
Running in our blood

12. Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the lip
And let me see a smile
Your image is the golden drip
That guides me for a while
My days are a dream
My nights are a lie
You are what I seek to hold
In the cold of the times

All that we see or seem to be
Is but a dream within a dream within a dream
All that we see or seem to be
Is but a dream within a dream

I wait up on a golden shore
With sunshine in my hands
While listening to the endless roar
I hope for farthest lands
My days are a dream
My nights are a lie
You are what I seek to hold
In the cold of the times

All that we see or seem to be
Is but a dream within a dream within a dream
All that we see or seem to be
Is but a dream within a dream

Can I not hold you in my arms so tight?
Can I not save you from the cold of bitter times?
In a smile or in a pitiless embrace
We are not supposed to be

All that we see or seem to be
Is but a dream within a dream

13. Black And White (Second Skin Version)

Pass me by like snow vanishes on frozen hands
Down the spine like days without a compliment
It's been years since we have truly been one

Things I store within the deepest core
Not revealed to whom they're really meant for
Everything is already said and done

Blood on my hands dripping on the floor, to my feet
Blood in my chest racing with my heartbeat
I was condemned when I first saw you
There is no coming back from you

Stay! For day is turning into night
Stay! My eyes no longer see the light
Stay! The color's fading into black and white
Stay! For day is turning into night
Stay! My eyes no longer see the light
Stay! The colors once have been so bright
Stay black and white

Look at me as you once did with kinder eyes
I am still the one who has to pay the price
Anything you asked I did it for you

When you leave think of, think of the times we had
Think of me with love instead of pale regret
Bear in mind that I was never untrue

Blood on my hands dripping on the floor, to my feet
Blood in my chest racing with my heartbeat
You were condemned when I first saw you
There is no coming back from me

Stay! For day is turning into night
Stay! My eyes no longer see the light
Stay! The color's fading into black and white
Stay! For day is turning into night
Stay! My eyes no longer see the light
Stay! The colors once have been so bright
Stay black and white

Stay with me
See the light

Turn black and white
