lyrics

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

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
