LETTER
My dear, how are you, hope you're doing fine
I don't even know if you'll be reading the first line
This letter is just me desperately reaching out for you
but I'm not sure it's the right adress to send it to
The starlit sky before my view
veils the echoes of your voice
Inside my mind I speak to you
Am I heard above the noise?
If you're still reading, I'm not giving in
I'll keep sending out these letters till you see what could have been
Won't put out any candles as long as you keep lighting new
It's impossible to miss you more than I do
The starlit sky before my view
veils the echoes of your voice
Inside my mind I speak to you
Am I heard above the noise?
Your absence slowly killing me
nothing left as I descend
I close my eyes, pretend I'm free
a new beginning of the end

WINTER TREE
Meet me as I sleep
I was never gone
As soon as I decide to stay
Where you belong
The light burning through my eyes
All will fade away
Am I allowed to stay?
Until you fall
Slowly like leaves falling from a winter tree
Slowly like leaves falling from a winter tree
You whisper as I cry
Silently
My numb and broken hands
Can't break this fall
The voice I refuse to hear
Turns into a scream
Wake up, the dream is gone
So you fall
Slowly like leaves falling from a winter tree
Slowly like leaves falling from a winter tree
Slowly like leaves falling from a winter tree
Slowly like leaves falling from a winter tree

TIME TO GO
Within these walls lie silent words
I've used them all, still no one heard
So I fed upon another childood dream
until it's gone
But when I close my eyes I'm not alone
you're here my friend, my enemy
And here you'll stay until you fade into grey
It's been years and days and seconds and I wonder
Was it not meant to be so much more, more than this
I really want to know, before it's time to go
My soul's dragged in a body bag
Use silent steps, don't wake it up
It didn't fit for what I've tried to be
and now it's gone
It's been years and days and seconds and I wonder
Was it not meant to be so much more, more than this
I really want to know, before it's time to go

AUTUMN
Waiting for dawn, the return of the sun
a recurring reminder of what she has become
Colours now are fading, but she is not crying
a heart made of stone
Someone is coming and opens the door
She's disappearing on a cold empty floor
Colours now are fading and she is pretending
she's asking for more
Soon it's all over, she looks for the sun
Her body is broken, her work here is done
Colours they are fading away and she's leaving
A new dawn has come

LOOP
A broken structure disrupts the view
The vision may now have finally come true
But as I enter, I just stumble through
And reappear with a broken structure in view
So I disown myself and leave
As I dissolve I fall asleep
The same construction appears anew
As I recall it took some courage then, to pull through
But I can't remember what I used to do
Though for each (loop) I'm getting closer to the first clue
And I destroy myself to see
If one solution means that I'll be free
identification division.
program-id. loop
procedure division.
LOOP
perform 7 times
display "re-enter"

display "first clue then amnesia then enter"

THE SILENCE
She says nothing
only smiles, her own little smile
'cause only she knows
what lies behind, lies behind
Her smile, doesn't reach her eyes
her smile doesn't reach her eyes
She plays on her own
for her own pleasure
waves to the trains
They leave, leave and leave
and never come back, never come back
(Goodbye)
Her beautiful fairytales
does she read, only to herself
With her glove dressed hand
she's scratching her wounds
time after time
And she never stops crying
She never stops crying

Stray from the path

STRAY FROM THE PATH
Early morning everyone is gone
I reach out my hand to touch someone, just anyone
Lost in the mist I am blind, wet and cold
Searching for someone to have and to hold
I stray from the path, I'm always on the run
I'm longing for a light to see
So come lead me astray
Just tell me will you shine for me
And help me find the way
Never look back if everything is in vain
Sing for your tears and your sorrows and all hope will remain
Sing for what's holy and sing for what's sin
Sing for the goodness and evil within
I stray from the path, I'm walking in the rain
I'm longing for a light to see
So come lead me astray
Just tell me will you shine for me
And help me find the way
Countless directions and twice as many goals
The road is a maze of turns and traps and bottomless holes
No one to catch me, I stumble and fall
No one to hear me and answer my call
I stray from the path, I'm one of many lonely souls
I'm longing for a light to see
So come lead me astray
Just tell me will you shine for me
And help me find the way

WORLD FROM ORBIT
Expect no mercy little friend, life provides no sound solution
for a prisoner of love
In my dream that's what you said, then you smiled and shook your head
turned around and walked away
And I wish that I had wings, I could view the world from orbit
I could do those little things, that I fear and just ignore it all
'cause I'm a star, shining down on all the children
everywhere and for all time, giving then hope and inspiration
Still the clockwork will go on, every day I hurt someone
It's just the way it's meant to be
And I'm back inside my frame, feeling guilty all the same
Guess the way it works for me
And I wish that I had wings, I could view the world from orbit
I could do those little things, that I fear and just ignore it all
'cause I'm a star, shining down on all the children
everywhere and for all time, giving then hope and inspiration
In the end we turn away, filled with grief and condemnation
We are prisoners of love
And I wish that I had wings, the ability to alter things
to make them happen just the way I like

COMING UP FOR AIR
Your eyes are open, but you are not aware anymore
The path lies open, but all the views are safely kept behind the door
They saved you from the deep
And you still can't find the time
The time to breathe
You speak of visions, but you don't even see what's right in front of you
A pale reflection, but there's no time left to reflect on what you've been through
They saved you from the deep
And you still can't find the time
The time to breathe
You imagine the day you'll fly, but all you'll see is yourself die in here
You see within your reach
The surface you must breach
In time to breathe

HOMEWARD
The hallowed lands so far behind, as fleeting dreams still linger
Like distant voices through the rain, like grains of sand cast from my hands
I never thought I'd go this far, without a star to cross the seas
So far from shores I'd left behind, still far from shores I've yet to reach
I try to find the strength I need, to calm the doubts in my beliefs
With the will, I know my heart won't break
And if I have strength then I've belief, if I have love my heart still beats
Here under stars
Far from home
The picture fades, the light recedes, the sound is lost in whispers
My recollections once clear and pure, now distant lights that dim with time

SILENCE AMYGDALA
I am there, on the edge of the sea
with the soothing voice of waves surrounding me
Like a child with no chance to grow
with eyes wide open to endless space and heaven
No more fear, out of reach
With a heart of glass and glossy eyes
I breathe my last breath with the ocean
When I fall asleep, the starry sky lights up
and then always shining
No more fear, out of reach
