Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jims in this town
And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky

Meine Augen sind beleidigt
Nichts ist da, was dich verteidigt!
Engel wollen Attraktionen
Kriegen sonst schnell Aggressionen!

Ihre Augen sind beleidigt
Nichts ist da, was dich verteidigt!
Engel werden zu Dämonen
Dürsten nur nach Strafaktionen!

Du suchst meine Nähe und ein kleines bisschen Halt
Dir geht es schlecht, weil dir etwas Wärme fehlt
Du willst nur mich, weil ich alles für dich bin
Und ich fühle nichts
Ich fühle nichts
nichts

Here
What happened here?
A collapse
And a mountain of love
Day after day
I am questioning my phone
There is a dead body in my bedroom
Everyday they rehearse their killing
I can’t dissociate

Only at night time, I see you
In darkness, I feel you
A bride by my side
I'm inside many brides
Sometimes, I wonder
What goes on in your mind, always silent and kind
Unlike the others

No alternative could grow
Where love cannot take root
No shadows will replace
The warmth of your contact
Love is dead in Metropolis
All contact through glove or partition
What a waste
The city
A wasting disease

The rapture
Unfurling blues and greens
The rapture
A swirling violet stream
Mystic majestic
Entangled in a web of curling vapour thread
Encaptured
By forces unforeseen
Enraptured
An eclipse intoxicating
Strangely not inside
Strangely not outside
Drowning in the middle of an eerie transition
The Rapture

We would be ashes
We would be silent and old
We would be wisdom
We would be left in the cold

When we were dancing
I saw the look in your eyes
Now we are strangers
Lost in a sea full of sighs

We would be traitors
We would forget we were young
We would be helpless
We are the kingdom to come
Things We Never Did, by Sad Lovers & Giants

As the eyes drift over the mind
In the back of the car
Are we moving too far?
As the lights of the city flash by
On an endless night
Are we getting too high?

Hey, you're a little young
But I'd like to use you to fill the void
I'd like to use you to not be alone anymore
To not be alone anymore
Redshift, by Linea Aspera

Illusions flicker
sanity fades
Tearing through
fragile mind,
behind the curtain, agony festers, one-of-a-kind
reality's thread,
haunting morphine
thoughts untangled
desire is fate
a symphony of brokenness, orchestrating our state
Wasted Reflektions, by Night in Athens

Here
What happened here?
A collapse
And a universe of love
Day after day
I question my phone
There's a corpse in the bedroom
Everyday they rehearse murder here
I can't get away from it

Enough
There's been enough said here
A small country
With a big wound
Some people stay and some people disappear

When you hear the summer calling
When you see another day
Can you feel I'm almost drowning?
Can't you see I'm almost dead?
Let me try to love you harder
Let me try to go your way

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous, and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire

Cut in the deep to the heart of the bone again
Round and round and round and it's coming apart again
Over and over and over

No beauty will last
No pain no sorrow
This was our moment in time
And I wish you to find your way
Through the emptiness
Inside you

Wanna know what the worst part is?
You don’t know if this is real.
Out of breath and out of body,
tied down inside the nightmare.

Wanna know what the best part is?
You know that this is real.
Full of life beyond your body,
free to walk inside the dream .

Take all you want from your life
but leave me out of your ruin.
I can see through your lies,
nothing you speak is the truth.

You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed.
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good
Just can't function no more.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
