lyrics

drenched in sweat i lie awake. these frozen limbs have seen better days. the screams are ringing, my mind is reeling. it’s grabbing me by the throat. trying to grab ahold of this fragment of hope that left my lungs in the last breath that numbed my hands, then left my body cold. this is the price you pay for carving your words in stone, for breathing the lies you polished so white and coated in the softest song. why return? why defy? why stand so fucking firm yet drift so far awry? this is where everything ends. before i read through these chapters again i’ll burn all the pages i failed to comprehend. trying to forget has proven so useless. time never once kept its promise of ridding our souls of the demons within. straight ahead solemnly rests a fortune left for those who tread the path on which we so often swore we´d never run from ourselves. swore we'd never grow so weak we’d call for help. never planned to give into hate and defeat. never dreamt i’d wake up with bloody knees and broken wrists from a fight i never fought fucking hard enough. what have i done with these last few years? the grin of a lost cause staring at me in the mirror. maybe we’re just in love with love itself yet (always) in a single image it seems to dwell. so clench your fists all you like, the sky will never answer. it’s never answered. it was never even listening. sometimes the world scares the shit out of me. this is where everything ends. before i read through these chapters again i’ll burn all the pages i failed to comprehend. trying to forget has proven so useless. time surely will keep its promise of marching on, leaving us with the choice to pick up our fucking pace or to throw in the towel without having ever shed a single drop of sweat, living life addicted to regret. i know you are, i know I am (3x) and as i keep on walking. worn the skin off my face. my knees collapse from the weight on my back. lying here, everything still looks the same , even though it’s been so long since i left this forsaken place. just a boy and the dust underneath his feet. oh feet! pick up your pace until the scenery fades.

about

Continents. Dresden, Germany

An attempt at bridging the gaps between desperation, aggression, hope and honesty but somehow getting stuck naked somewhere in the middle of nowhere screaming your lungs out.
a soundtrack, a tragedy, a smile.
