The quiet days
It's the quiet days
when I remember
your sounds
---
your getting up
out of bed
cracking your joints
I hated it
---
your sitting on the couch
and laughing at the TV
your laugh
I miss it so much
---
and when you talked to me
your voice
that sweet voice
that calm voice
that hoarse voice
that quiet voice
---
that silent voice
---
it's the quiet days
that are hardest
you know
when I remember
your sounds
---
your getting up
out of bed
cracking your joints
I hated it
---
your sitting on the couch
and laughing at the TV
your laugh
I miss it so much
---
and when you talked to me
your voice
that sweet voice
that calm voice
that hoarse voice
that quiet voice
---
that silent voice
---
it's the quiet days
that are hardest
you know

No hero
We don't need a hero, we need another sacrifice.
When the time has come, we need a scapegoat for all our lies.
Someone who rescues our souls, someone who will not rise
when we accuse him falsely, someone who simply dies.
Alone he stands when we push him into unknown heights
we don't need a hero, just someone who pays the price.
When the time has come, we need a scapegoat for all our lies.
Someone who rescues our souls, someone who will not rise
when we accuse him falsely, someone who simply dies.
Alone he stands when we push him into unknown heights
we don't need a hero, just someone who pays the price.

Wie die Geister
Du wirst wie die Geister,
deine Finger werden kalt,
deine Stimme leiser
bis sie ungehört verhallt.
Deine Augen sehen
nur den Schmerz, der dich befreit.
Du wirst wie die Geister.
Nimm ihn an und sei bereit.
deine Finger werden kalt,
deine Stimme leiser
bis sie ungehört verhallt.
Deine Augen sehen
nur den Schmerz, der dich befreit.
Du wirst wie die Geister.
Nimm ihn an und sei bereit.

Is it wrong if I dance alone?
The moments were so bright
when you were with me.
And everyting felt right
and we were so free.
But now there is no light
you left me
your inner flame has died
and now I can't see.
"Is everything alright?",
they ask me.
But you won't hold me tight.
This can't be.
when you were with me.
And everyting felt right
and we were so free.
But now there is no light
you left me
your inner flame has died
and now I can't see.

they ask me.
But you won't hold me tight.
This can't be.

Hurt
You stood beside me, held my hand
and didn't cry nor shout nor crumble.
A shovel full of dirt and sand
you scattered and you looked so humble.
Your lonely eyes would fill with tears
and drowned in water was their light.
We lost her after all these years
and by this loss we broke inside.
You turned around and left her here
and never spoke another word
Your last words I hold forever dear...
Daddy, tell me, why does it hurt?
and didn't cry nor shout nor crumble.
A shovel full of dirt and sand
you scattered and you looked so humble.
Your lonely eyes would fill with tears
and drowned in water was their light.
We lost her after all these years
and by this loss we broke inside.
You turned around and left her here
and never spoke another word
Your last words I hold forever dear...
Daddy, tell me, why does it hurt?

Survive
How do you kill a thing that never lived?
A being that should never be?
Imprisioned in the darkest cell
in your heart, your head, your history.
Made of shattered dreams and hopes
it feasts
of your doubt and hate and angst.
Preventing you to kill it off.
From time to time you let it out
It screams and swears and hurts with words.
It rots away your sanity
every second you let it live.
To kill the beast you have to stop
feeding it with anger now!
Immediately!
Preventing it to kill you off...

Running
When I grew up
I ran away from all the responsibility.
When I was at school,
I ran away from all the possibilities.
When I had a clash with my father,
I ran away from home.
When I got a wife and children,
I ran away from them.
When my mom died,
I ran away from my feelings.
When the doctor told me,
I ran away from all these fears.
And after all this running
I ran out of time.
I ran away from all the responsibility.
When I was at school,
I ran away from all the possibilities.
When I had a clash with my father,
I ran away from home.
When I got a wife and children,
I ran away from them.
When my mom died,
I ran away from my feelings.
When the doctor told me,
I ran away from all these fears.
And after all this running
I ran out of time.

Friendship
It's getting cold, since you have left.
I leave the lights on and the door open,
but it doesn't seem that you will come back
and sit next to me by the fire.
I can not lift myself up and close the door,
instead I let the cold come in
and slowly kill me from the inside.
You killed me.
I look out of the window,
see you laughing with everyone else.
You talk to me, when we meet,
but not the way you talked to me before.
A wall was built between us.
Where did I go wrong and lost you?
A firendship as fragile
as a...

What's lost in the war
When you fight wars
for as long as I have
you learn to face your fears
and to endure with courage.
Courage can only be felt,
when there is fear,
when you lose your comrades
and death is everywhere.
Your heart will not stay strong,
your soul will surely break and crumble.
They'll call you hero of war,
but you also lose a part of yourself.

A night at home
Days and days of darkness I have wandered,
losing myself on the way a thousand times,
all these little lies burst my heart asunder
and all the walls I built, echoed my desperate cries.
My feet get numb from all the running
and not a single signpost on the way.
Behind my back is left a trail so dunning
not from my feet, but from the tears I cry.
The moonlight shines into the room where I am sleeping,
and as I wake, your body next to mine
is quietly sobbing there and weeping,
and only now I notice how our love has died.

The dog you abandoned
You left me bleeding on the sidewalk
on a cold and cloudy night
and I knew that you would miss me
when you'd realized, I'd died.
So I watched you leave in silence
and I didn't bark nor bite.
All the tears you couldn't cry then,
I am sure, you have them cried.
Now the times we spent together
do all vanish in the night.
As I close my eyes, a silent wish
God, let him be alright!
on a cold and cloudy night
and I knew that you would miss me
when you'd realized, I'd died.
So I watched you leave in silence
and I didn't bark nor bite.
All the tears you couldn't cry then,
I am sure, you have them cried.
Now the times we spent together
do all vanish in the night.
As I close my eyes, a silent wish
God, let him be alright!

inside a black hole
You know, nothing's ever come out again, what's been attracted to a black hole. It just disappears...into nothingness. Even light can not escape this gravity, so how could I? Twelve years ago I crossed the event horizon and since that time I've been lingering inside, coming from nowhere, going nowhere. What has happened, you ask? Well, how should I explain? I died...
You know how they say the world will be swallowed by the sun in about five billion years, after it - the sun - becomes a red giant? What they don't tell you is, that they created a black hole in the Large Hadron Collider...
