Now that I know, that my time has finally come
And there is no way left to move on
I’d like to tell you a story of what I have become
I never thought it would turn out as bad as this
I thought that ignorance could be bliss
‘Cause that brought me through my life without a miss
I still hear the sirens, who keep on calling me to sink the ship
But I won’t be your servant anymore
I still see the man who persuaded me into this trip
Fuck off, no longer will I be your whore
I’ve been having different shapes while this journey took its way
Most of them ain’t a part of me
It’s been the pills that kept me calm, and all those drinks that kept me warm
That’s what kept me moving on
These little toys made me feel strong
No one dared to prove me wrong
This seemed to be the way
To make it through the day
“One more pill will keep things going
Another drink will keep me doing
Just until this trip is showing
Where all this shall end”
Was what I wanted to pretend
I want to be myself again
Not the puppet of what you think I am
So, move along and set me free
And let me be the man I used to be
I had to learn it the hard way
Slowly killing myself seemed to be ok
But it’s time to break up with this shit
Let me try to move on ... just a little bit
They said I would be glorious if I can get this whole shit done
But never said that I would have to act like them
They never mentioned in a word that I’d be always on the run
All this was just a massive scam to make me feel a lesser man
I took that trip, I tried my best, now see where this has taken me
I’m just an empty shell of who I’ve been
I’m sitting in a whole, like a creature hiding from the mean
Those things that kept me moving on
Stopped to make feel so strong
Instead they simply proved me wrong
Of what I tried to be
That lesser part of me
“One more pill will make it right
And a drink will take me through the night
Tomorrow I will win the fight
Against me, myself and I”
Has been my self-inflicted lie
I want to be myself again
Not the puppet of what you think I am
So, move along and set me free
And let me be the man that I used to be
I had to learn it the hard way
Slowly killing myself seemed to be ok
But it’s time to break up with this shit
Let me try to move on ... just a little bit
What have I done
Who's gonna help me to pull through
I don’t know what I’ve become
This just can’t be true
If I could turn back time just a little bit
I’d choose another way
And if I could choose the way where the pieces fit
It would be my own way
No more journeys, no more sirens
Just the real part of me
But here I am now, no more options
And that’s what’s left of me, of me
Now that I know, that my time has finally come
And there is no way left to move on
Remember the story of me and of what I have become
I never thought it would turn out as bad as this
I thought that ignorance could be bliss
‘Cause that brought me through my life without a miss
Those things that kept me moving on
Stopped to make feel so strong
Instead they simply proved me wrong
Of what I tried to be
That lesser part of me
“One more pill will make it right
And a drink will take me through the night
Tomorrow I will win the fight
Against me, myself and I”
Has been my self-inflicted lie
I want to be myself again
Not the puppet of what you think I am
So, move along and set me free
And let me be the man I used to be
I had to learn it the hard way
Slowly killing myself seemed to be ok
But it’s time to break up with this shit
Let me try to move on ... just a little bit

Delirium

You stepped in my life, took a veil from my eyes
Promised me things and never mentioned the price
I may have grown wings, may have dropped my disguise
But I am not willing, not willing to rise
You gave me hope, now see where it got me
I have been lost until your foretellings caught me
But even lost I had something like freedom
You pushed me on a road I never should’ve been on
Every step on that path was just another mistake
Why was it my life that you had to break
I wish I could go back to the days before that ache
I aint a weak man, I will be ready
To walk right through the upcoming storm
It may not be perfect but this is my way
To escape from the nightmare I’m trapped in today
And even one eyed I can see the path
That will lead me out.. Away from the sudden death
That awaits me if I keep walking by your side
Away from you freak who sucks out my life!
But I’ve found something that keeps me going
Not floating above, not making me moaning
There is a way you’ve been hiding from me
Did you think that I’m blind, that I wouldn’t see
What kind of man I was supposed to be
I’m not back on track but I keep digging my way
See how far I’ve come within just a few days
Now you can’t hold me back, cannot force me to rise
Now it’s my turn to name the price
I could be one of you, I could fulfill my quest
Stand in the frontline not being a pest
suck out
my life
my turn
the price
I’m walkin’ my own quest, but I’m still on your side
And I just feel so good. I’m ready to fight to help you to succeed
On that quest that we have to complete
Standing in line I feel like home, like I’m in the place where I belong
Today I hope it never ends maybe
someday I will ascend
And no longer will I have to trust those
Who may take advantage when I am false
I aint a weak man, I will be ready
To walk right through the upcoming storm
It may not be perfect but this is my way
To escape from this nightmare I’m trapped in today
And even one eyed I can see the path
That will lead me out.. Away from the sudden death
That awaits me if I keep walking on your side
Away from you freak who sucks out my life!

Disrupt the Flow

PULL … ME … DOWN!
Something‘s pulling me down. I’m drowning
Wearing the mask of a clown, I hear you laughing
Somehow my supremacy’s gone... out of a sudden
Leaving me alone without a warning
Where’s the world I once knew
Where’s the future that I drew
I am trapped in a rope of sand
This ain’t what I had planned
I just can’t tell what’s real anymore
Myself seems so strange to me
Feeling so lost shakes me to the core
Where’s the man I once used to be
Everything that kept me well
Just turned into my private hell
I was meant to get things straight
And never used to hesitate
I really thought I found my way
I thought I’d never go astray
But all those things I used know
Now suddenly disrupt the flow
I’m trying to keep going on with what I planned
Flying close to the sun if this is what I need
You won’t tell me what’s right or what’s the truth
So just get out of my sight and shut the fuck up
Maybe I’m overdosed but I don’t know yet
Maybe flying too close can make things better
Sometimes being alone is a good thing
Now step back from my throne and leave me be
I just can’t tell what’s real anymore
Myself seems so strange to me
Feeling so lost shakes me to the core
Where’s the man I once used to be
Everything that kept me well
Just turned into my private hell
I was meant to get things straight
And never used to hesitate
I really thought I found my way
I thought I’d never go astray
But all those things I used know
Now suddenly disrupt the flow
What is wrong with me
What is wrong with me
What is wrong with me
What the fuck is wrong
I’m running in circles which lead me to nowhere
I look in the mirror just nothingness in there
Outta the window I stare at the front door
But no one’s there unlike the times before
Back in the mirror I see myself fading
Feel my insides everything is changing
All I’ve got is a last breath to scream out loud
If you hear me: shout
I just can’t tell what’s real anymore
Myself seems so strange to me
Feeling so lost shakes me to the core
Where’s the man I once used to be
Everything that kept me well
Just turned into my private hell
I was meant to get things straight
And never used to hesitate
I really thought I found my way
I thought I’d never go astray
But all those things I used know
Suddenly disrupt the flow

When Days Turn Gray
05:35

What if I could get more silence?
What if I’d just pass away?
That would protect you from the violence
That I will need to stay awake
‘Cause the forces that are driving me
Are strong enough to give you pain
Am I the only one who can see
That the world has gone insane?
That the world has gone insane!
I really tried my best to carry on
Deep down in my heart I know I’m strong enough for this
But since everything went so wrong
I just wanna quit and be myself again
Darkness is surrounding me
Feelings are disturbing me
Addiction’s occupying me
And I can’t get hold of myself
Another pill will lead me to a better thrill
Another drink will keep me warm
While I am fighting this storm
Left all alone
Without a friend
Nothing to do
Starting to reflect my whole life
Am I alive?
Am I myself?
Why am I here?
Take me away!
Maybe I just need a break
To sort myself again
Maybe next time I’m awake
I will be a lesser man
If my world keeps crumbling down
And I’m still left alone
Maybe that’s just the sign
To cut the line. The line of mine
I really tried my best to carry on
Deep down in my heart I know I’m strong enough for this
But since everything went so wrong
I just wanna quit and be myself again
Please tell me why I’m here
When did I pick the wrong way
Where are you when I need you here
To rescue me from my decay
I really thought I’m not alone
When I’m ripped up to the bone
Another drink will help me out
To figure out what this shit’s all about
What this shit’s all about
Maybe I just need a break
To sort myself again
Maybe next time I’m awake
I will be a lesser man
If my world keeps crumbling down
And I’m still left alone
Maybe that’s just the sign
To cut the line. The line of mine
But there’s one freaking thing that I gotta ask
Thinking about it I can’t get no rest
Even if you tell our direction’s right
Even if you tell our direction’s right
Why the fuck keep I waking up into my life
My work is done
Most of myself is gone
Laying myself to bed
Seems to be my final threat
And if I stay
Please don’t cross my way
Because I don’t know
If you can keep up the show
And if you can’t
Don’t go where I went
Because it’s dangerous
To walk on a way without trust
And if you’re here
Please prove me wrong
While my last words are dripping from my tongue
Maybe I just need a break
To sort myself again
Maybe next time I’m awake
I will be a lesser man
If my world keeps crumbling down
And I’m still left alone
Maybe that’s just the sign
To cut the line. The line of mine
I really tried my best to carry on
Deep down in my heart I know I’m strong enough for this
But since everything went so wrong
I just wanna quit and be myself again
I really tried my best to carry on
Deep down in my heart I know I’m strong enough for this

NOOOOOOO!
Tell a man he’s really strong and watch him fall apart
While he struggles handling life
Where he was meant to fall
Where he believed that nobody was as brave as him
Now his back’s against the wall
What if I hadn’t said a word, let him choose his own way?
Would he be on the right track now?
Would he fall?
Had he chosen the steps he took and didn’t care about us at all?
Your life will not work out this way
You have gone totally astray
The infinity of your life might be close to being declined
‘Cause you think you are second to none
Still you’re flying close to the sun
The infinity of your life might be close to being declined
Take a look in the mirror, and tell me what you see
Is this even half the man, that you pretend to be?
I just can’t believe you don’t realize
Your solitude’s the evidence of lies
Tell yourself to keep going on
But let’s be serious: YOU’RE WRONG!
This is the path that you’ve chosen
Not the chance that we gave to you
Now that infinity’s frozen
Come take our hands again
Your life will not work out this way
You have gone totally astray
The infinity of your life might be close to being declined
‘Cause you think you are second to none
Still you’re flying close to the sun
The infinity of your life might be close to being declined
You broke up with everyone and now you’re wondering why
Why no one is next to you to help save your life
Take the mirror once again and realize your decay
Just grab this hand that’s reaching out and live another day
I once told a man he’s really strong
And watched him fall apart
While he struggles handling his life
Where he was meant to fall
Where he believed that nobody was as brave as him
Now his back’s against the wall
What if I hadn’t said a word, let him choose his own way?
Would he be on the right track now?
Would he fall?
Had he chosen the steps he took and didn’t care about us at all
Your life will not work out this way
You have gone totally astray
The infinity of your life might be close to being declined
Cause you think you are second to none
Still you’re flying close to the sun
The infinity of your life might be close to being declined

Relict
04:51
|

Your words like a ban show me what I became
A relict of the man who used to carry my name
I thank you my friend you gave me myself to blame
What could I’ve done to stay perfect
Maybe fought through the war that tore me apart
Maybe shouldn’t have ignored my friend’s breaking heart
I am the man who is nothing but a relict of himself
All the chances that I had all the words that I could have said
I was your fairweather friend. Realizing it makes me so ... makes me so sad
Memories travel through my mind.
A reflection’s all they leave behind
Myself and I stand face to face.
How could I become this faceless disgrace
Give me a piece of the past haunting me.
Remembering the argonaut that I once used to be.
Now drifting towards the end in a stream that I cannot withstand
I lasted as long as I could but have been washed ashore
If I held on to your hand maybe I could still stand strong
I wonder what I had become
All the chances that I had, all the words that I could have said
I was your fairweather friend realizing it I’m going ... I’m going mad
I didn’t care about your decree
how could you still believe in me
I was
burden
You’ve been
warden
All the chances that I had, all the words that I could have said.
I was your fairweather friend.
Realizing it
All the chances that I had, all the words that I could have said
I was your fairweather friend.
Realizing it.
I might be better of dead!
