If not to fight against the monsters inside us, why do we write?

The longest slumber
Time went by too fast for me.
I couldn't see everything to see.
But now I close my eyes forever.
There were so many things I didn't want to do.
There were so many times I just couldn't stay true.
But now I'm gonna set this right, I will come to you.
I see my hands, they tremble out of fear.
My mind goes blank, when I think of you my dear.
I hear your footsteps, you are near.
I take a breath and stand up tall.
There will be a time when I will fall.
The wait seems like forever.

Lemonade
Do you remember the lemonade we sold?
We wanted to sell some lemonade
just how they do it in the movies.
We asked your mother to buy us oranges
and to help us squeezing them.
We added sugar and we added love
we had so much fun doing this.
We took some wood and built our booth,
we had some bruises all over our bodies.
We laughed so much, while we sat there
and waited for someone to buy our juice.
It didn't really taste like lemonade,
but that didn't matter, it sold very well.

This beautiful world
"Who created all this?"
I'm sitting all alone and wonder.
My arm resting on the table,
my head resting on my hand,
my thoughts going nowhere.
"Who created this beauty?"
Beautiful sceneries flow by
sheep and cows along the way.
Fast and faster we go,
my thoughts stay slow.
The sun slowly sets, red and powerful.
I have to squint my eyes.
The light is so warm, the days get colder.
The wind gets stronger.
"Who created all this?"
The train reaches its destination.

To leave
The dark has come to embrace my heart.
But as I see my life, I break apart.
This is not, what I wanted to see!
This is not, what I wanted to be!
Blood and hate and nothing else.
All these lies a human tells,
all the promises, we always break.
When we want to dream, we stay awake.
We want to build a world of dreams where we are king or queen.
But as we enter our wishes, we will never be seen.
I close my eyes, the darkness calls and I say my last wish.
I take a step, I cannot see, all I feel is anguish.
I leave my body, take a...

Cry your heart out
Dear son, as you know
your mom has died not long ago.
She was too weak to win the fight,
she tried so long, but still she died.
Dear son, I know your many tears,
I cried them too, I know your fears.
I also have sat in my room
alone in solitude and gloom.
Dear son, I see the darkness in your heart,
the thought of knowing that we have to part
the thought of knowing that the time will come,
the pain you feel have thousands felt, my son.
Dear son, just cry your heart out, don't feel shame.
Every other human on this planet does the...

Meaning of action
Once upon a time a man lived by the sea
and as a storm had raged for days, he went out to see
if anything had changed.
He left his house and as he walked along the beach,
he saw, for heaps of starfishes the sea was out of reach.
And as he reached the first of them he bent down to the sand
and took as many starfishes as fit inside his hand.
He walked towards the water and threw them in the sea,
and as he had done this for hours a guy came with a plea.
"What are you doing this for hours, you alone are not enough.
There is no meaning in...

Changes
There are two worlds that you live in, you know I hate to admit,
in one of them I'll live with you, in the other, I don't fit.
As I saw, when I just met you,
you are changing very fast.
You are not the girl I once knew,
that girl belongs now to the past.
But my feelings were so real
and I couldn't really grasp
all the changes, the whole deal
now I know, we couldn't last.
As I pack my things to leave here
you are happy somewhere else.
This is written just for you dear.
That's the story my heart tells.

Waiting by the window
I wait for you, night and night.
What good did it do to me?
Why can't you come back and hold me tight?
Come to me! Set me free!
I wait for you, the window calls,
and every now and then a tear just falls
and shows me that I can't forget.
Come back, bring all those memories we made.
When we were happy, don't let them fade!
Then I could leave the window, hon.
But all that I can see, is your gravestone.
Ich warte auf dich, Nacht um Nacht.
Was hat es mir bisher gebracht?
Warum kommst du nicht zurück?
Komm zu mir und...

In the Dark
Strange noises occur at night.
"Do you think, everything's alright?"
she asks.
I brave myself and take a look.
My only weapon is a book.
The darkness takes my every sight.
"Honey, are you still alright?"
she asks.
I whisper trough the dark: "I'm fine."
But as she calls me back, I do decline.
Step by step, I have to fight.
"Honey, who is there, this late at night?"
she asks.
Two eyes are shining in the dark,
a faint growl, a feeble bark.
I instantly turn on the light....

Coming Home
Tears are flowing like a river
as I slowly drive along.
Roadside flowers start to wither
as I finally come home.
Not a curve on this barren road,
years went by and I grew old.
If you'd show my past self to me
I'd hardly recognize, I'd hardly see.
The young couple who had left this house
is coming home, but not the spouse.
As everything I left, is still here,
I once again do miss you, Dear.
I want the memories to never fade,
I want to live inside them. I can not wait
to come to you, hold you tight.
A curve...

The kitchen table
I look a the clock, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc. Time sure flows slowly. The kitchen table is the only hold I have at the moment. And the beer. The beer is always there to console me. It keeps the memories of you far away from me. But without the kitchen table, I would lie on the floor and sing a lonely song, alone in the dark room.
"Ohhh Baby,
come to me!
I love you,
come to me.
I need you
cook for me!
I miss you,
help me!
Ohhh Baby,
I hate you!"
But since the kitchen table did not leave me alone, I am neither singing, nor lying....
