lyrics

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

Drown in Embers was spawned in Düsseldorf anno 2012 by guitarist Pete, drummer Martin and bassist Reini 4 years after their former band “Exchased” split up.

Right after the first songs were written, a second guitarist was needed and was found in Jacques who joined the band in 2014.

After years of searching for the right vocalist, Nikita finally completed the lineup in 2018. ... more
