Das was ich bin, rührt mich um deinetwillen Denn gegen meine Ordnung fühl' ich mich übertroffen In meiner Sucht nach der reinen Form - Verissen in die Rich-tungen, die ich mir selbst erschuf A fain scent stirring up my mind Distance in this makes no difference Don't let go Make it turn out different I can't hold on Acceptance Being back in this place again The shadows cast on the ground all point to you I'm losing control I know what I'm about to do

Father! How's the stench? How's the feed? Left in sand, you've wiped me clean Hear me out, keep me quiet You've seen my company My ghost just weaves in, so effortlessly Your daughter's hand is absent But my room door, it's left open The ceiling light casts a patient indulgent in my cessation You're trembling now Faster and faster I'm wearing you out Faster and faster You told me yesterday that you'd be there for me But I keep you company, such quiet company Put the bottle down, find another muse Relieve yourself without abuse In the mirror glass you see the truth, my body's aging But Dad, I'm coming home soon I wear my red lips uneven The harvest of the season, your painting in lesions This season I'm coming home I hide in the dark and sleep beneath your feet I am the voice that you hear, a whisper of your deeds This season I'm coming home for you Don't hide from me now Father oh Father Comfort me, comfort me now In death and forever In death and forever In death, forever

Lit cigarettes dance through our fingers Like our thoughts - prancing more than it ever should And the silence between our words spoke more than we ever could A clash of black and white, of hate and love Of so much guilt and pain tainted on the white sheets we can't erase Stark memories tucked between creases More chilling, interlacing Never escaping and it wrecks our nerves And it wrecks our minds, our bodies, our conscience So tell me how can we dance now How is it possible that our feet are in sync like we've always known each other How do our fingers interlock like vines intertwined How did the stars align, how is that we're here again? Take me away from this place Take me away from my mind Take me away from myself Take me away (Erase, erase) Cause my mind's a wreck and my body's frail (Unsee, unsee) These ghosts are forever haunting me (Save me, save me) Cause I have been struggling to grasp on anything (Erase, erase) Like sand running through my fingers The end has been written in stone And I'm giving up scribbling on these walls The number of times that I've tried But lost anyway There is no one else in the mirror There is no one else in the mirror There is no one else in the mirror, but me It has always been easy to push the blame on me So I can carry the weight of perception Of never trying hard enough But there comes a point where your knees buckle And you can't feel your shoulders And you admit defeat You admit defeat You swallowed the bitter pill You were never in control Never in control of anything

The stench of fear keeps crawling under the skin It's breeding inside like cancer among flesh and bones These cold dim eyes are staring out of dark holes Once can see their mind is longing for something outside We don't have the courage to leave this way We are dying slow, we are dying slow This yearning keeps burning The cogwheels keep turning There are no dreams left to fill this void We are dying slow, we are dying slow This yearning keeps burning The cogwheels keep turning Are we here by choice or for the want of possibilities? Placed on the market, we are nothing but abbatoir waste We don't have the courage to leave this way We are dying slow, we are dying slow This yearning keeps burning The cogwheels keep turning There are no dreams left to fill this void We are dying slow, we are dying slow This yearning keeps burning The cogwheels keep turning Get in line, just waiting for something That's a concept we call hope Get in line, just waiting for something That's a concept we call hope We drag ourselves to the grinder The body is being severed from mind

Jika ingatan empat tahun itu adalah angin Ia akan menyerbu sudut-sudut kelam dunia dengan ingatan tentangnya Berputar pada ruang sanubari dan lenyap karena berlalu Sesaat ia dinginkan panas ketika jiwa terkuras Lewat apapun makna dari yang ia punya Ingatkan selalu pada waktu yang singkat itu Katakan bahwa kita pernah membeli mimpi Epos yang kita bentuk dalam harapan sendiri (Ku tinggal raut pecah di semayam malam Rasa rindu takkan pernah bisa menghidupiku) Tinggalkan perih langkahmu Menghitung jejak jarak mundur Menyambung setiap inci mendekatimu Kini sampai sesak nafas mengejarmu Prajurit memori berteriak padaku, "Saat-saat ketika kita tidak menjadi suatu saat Biarkan ia hidup dan berbisik pada ragamu Mimpi seorang anak ada ketika mata terbuka" (Ku kubur raut jeram di padang kenangan Rasa rindu menghentak kaki melangkah maju) Tinggalkan perih langkahmu
