One Step Too Far

the clock is ticking
we have no time
our days have passed
we stroll through night
afraid of ourselves
afraid of all steps
we were together
yet we’re alone
I bid my farewells
I said goodbye
I’ve spit my hatred
I’ve left you crying
we’ve made mistakes
we have grown cold
and now it’s too late
and now we’re alone
there’s something wrong with us
from ashes to dust
the roses won’t bloom in our hearts
from whole to scratch
there’s something wrong with us
when the tides will come to take our hearts
when the life will call our names
will you remember my eyes?
will you remember my face?
my light has faded when you left my hand
my sun has fallen when your smile has died
and now these words are leaving marks deep in
our hearts, breaking the bonds
and this curse is haunting us
strolling alone we leave the past behind
when the tides will come to take our hearts
when the life will call our names
will you remember my eyes?
will you remember my face?
when the tides will come to take our hearts
when the life will call our names
will you remember my eyes?
will you remember my face?
and now these words are leaving marks deep in
our hearts, breaking the bonds
and this curse is haunting us
strolling alone we leave the past behind
the clock is ticking
we have no time
our days have passed
we stroll through night
afraid of ourselves
afraid of all steps
we were together
yet we’re alone
I bid my farewells
I said goodbye
I’ve spit my hatred
I’ve left you crying
we’ve made mistakes
we have grown cold
and now it’s too late
and now we’re alone
from ashes to dust
from whole to scratch
from ashes to dust
there’s something wrong with us
my light has faded when you left my hand
my sun has fallen when your smile has died

Sorrow

I think you gave up on me
much later than I did on myself
I am so fucking sorry
for being at my worst
when you needed me and I let you down
you needed me and I left you crying
but now I know
I should never let you go
I have seen it on your face
this is not how it supposed to end
I am dragging the pain within
forgive me for everything
I have seen it on your face
this is not how it supposed to end
I am dragging the pain within
forgive me for everything

For Everything

all my memories are fading
as I’m lying on the floor
I am scared of every morning
every thought that you are gone
and
and I don’t know how to make this right
forgive me, I’m losing sight
too weak to fight, too strong to give up
I think I’m losing sight
too proud to ask for help
this feeling is overwhelming
never thought
that I could hate myself
the pain inside my veins
won't let me forget
all dreams inside my head
are changing into white stains
making another step
through thinner ice
the rope is holding tight
my neck,
the light is fading
nightmares are haunting my dreams
at the end I get what I deserve
I have seen it on your face
that’s not how it’s supposed to end
believe me
I am dragging the pain within
forgive me
forgive me for everything
(I have seen it on your face)
I think you gave up on me
(this is not how it supposed to end)
much later than I did on myself
(I am dragging the pain within)
I am so fucking sorry
(forgive me for everything)
for being at my worst
(I have seen it on your face)
when you needed me and i let you down
(this is not how it supposed to end)
you needed me and i left you crying
(I am dragging the pain within)
but now i know
(forgive me for everything)
I should never let you go
I have seen it on your face
this is not how it supposed to end
I am dragging the pain within
forgive me for everything

Phantom Heart
03:36
|
|
||
|
sometimes I feel like everything is out of control
I feel like you are drifting away from me
life is a fragile moment
in our hands
you can’t carry the weight
heavier than your pain
if I told you and if I only knew
if I could turn back time and change the past
if I told you and if I only knew
there is nothing left inside of me
and my demons are crawling slowly
holding tight my throat, stealing my breath
I whisper my screams but no one can hear
this feeling is never-ending
I scream the silence, searching for her
I drift away into the nothingness
(there’s nothing left)
pick up my pieces
and place them again
let me shatter to dust
I can’t save myself
I stare into the darkness
I can’t see the way
my fucking phantom heart
is all I have today
with all those things inside my head
falling apart, I’ve already collapsed
I hurt myself with every breath
I look into the skies searching for her
I whisper my screams but no one can hear
this feeling is never-ending
I scream the silence searching for her
I drift away into the nothingness
(there’s nothing left)
(except the pain)
I feel the weight inside my chest
like missing limb
pushing back my breaths
my phantom heart is all I have
I cannot and I won’t
be the slave of my fate
(there’s nothing left)
pick up my pieces
(inside of me)
and place them again
let me shatter to dust
(except the pain)
I can’t save myself
I stare into the darkness
(there’s nothing left)
I can’t see the way
my fucking phantom heart
is all I have today
you can’t carry the weight
heavier than your painf

Hollow

there is no sound
inside my chest
no blood
inside my veins
my eyes
are shallow now
I’m breathing
but am I living?
this life is a fucking graveyard
sleepwalking through the frost
it’s so cold outside
I can barely breathe
can’t you see we are dying
in this bleak world?
just ask yourself
is this
what we have fought for
is this
what we are dying for?
the steps through ashes, the steps through dust
for many years, for so fucking long
no
I refuse to spend my life
crawling through the lies
inside my chest
no blood
inside my veins
my eyes
are shallow now
I’m breathing
but still
there is no sound
inside my chest
no blood
inside my veins
my eyes
are shallow now
I’m breathing
but am I living?
now I can see my nightmares
they crawl deep in my mind
they are eating me alive
I can see through their eyes
I see this bleak world
desolation of my soul
grim gloom in my eyes
world as shallow as my own black heart
we’ve been dreaming ‘bout tomorrow
now we live our lives in sorrow
we have only begged and borrowed
now our hearts are fucking hollow
we’ve been dreaming ‘bout tomorrow
now we live our lives in sorrow
we have only begged and borrowed
now our hearts are fucking hollow
inside my chest
no blood
inside my veins
my eyes
are shallow now
I’m breathing
but still
there is no sound
inside my chest
no blood
inside my veins
my eyes
are shallow now
I’m breathing
but am I living?
no
I refuse to spend my life
crawling through the lies

This Is Not My World
04:04
|

through night
I’m strolling, alone
in the world that they created
forever lost
following my footsteps
I’m strolling through the dark night
with hope on my shoulder
and misery in my heart
dull pain in the back of the skull
quiet whispers in my ears
in this cold, hateful world
will we ever get free?
there is only one sad truth
we were born to die alone
no light to guide us through
alone, forgotten
this is the way I feel
no light to guide me
this is the way I feel
and always will be
this is the way I feel
no light to guide me
this is the way I feel
and always will be
alone and forgotten
I always will be
hurt
forgive me for everything
forgive me for I don’t believe
in the world that they created
because their world is not my world
I refuse to live their lives
of misery and loneliness
and I refuse to be one of them
wanna leave my demons behind
no light to guide me
and always will be
through night
I’m strolling, alone
in the world that they created
forever lost
through night
I’m strolling, alone
in the world that they created
forever lost
I do not agree
with the way it works
I don’t want to be alone in this cold world
I refuse
I refuse to live their lives
I do not agree with the way it works
I don’t want to be alone in this cold world
I refuse to let your hand go
I refuse to let you be alone
I do not agree with the way it works
I don’t want to be alone in this cold world
I refuse to let your hand go
I refuse to let you be alone

Remember Me
00:56
|
|
||
|
I am falling down and don’t know how to stop
will I hit the ground or scatter in the skies
it’s hard to breath
so hard to breath
it’s hard to live when you’re no longer here with me
I just wanted you to say that I have to stay
I just wanted you to grab and hold my hand
there are no words to describe how much I regret
and I’m sure I will always remember your face

To Pick Ourselves Up
02:34
|
|
||
|
believe me, I have tried
but I can’t turn back time
just look at this from different side
and you could change your mind
we were on this ship together
when the storm came over
we were there on the pouring night,
searching for the lighthouse
hoping for a safe place to hide our hearts
how could this happen to us?
it’s time to pick ourselves up
we didn't even try to fight,
was it worth it?
ship is sinking
and the water is rising
will we find a safe place?
our fucking lighthouse
or we'll end up as castaways
you may think
that I have given up
and you may think
I let us drown, but this is not the end
we didn't even try to fight,
was it worth it?
this ship is sinking
and the water is rising
you may think that I’ve already given up
you may think that I let us drown
you may think this is all over now
but it’s time
to pick ourselves up
take everything that we’ve already had
and burn it down to the ground
take the ashes, shatter them across the shore
let those waves take me whole
or save me before I drown
you were always my lighthouse
you were always my leading light

Alone

hear my voice in your head, don’t let me fade away
I don’t wanna be alone, I don’t wanna be scared
with bloodshed eyes
shapes are running in front of me
but I can’t move
slowly fading into myself
with bloodshed eyes
do you feel
how cold I am inside myself
what can I do so you can see
through my eyes?
I gave everything to be just like them
and now I’m here all by myself
how cold I am inside myself
what can I do so you can see
through my eyes?
I gave everything to be just like them
not by myself
when everything means nothing
you have nothing to lose
when nothing means no one
you have no one to love
please tell me all those beautiful lies
that the sun will rise for us
I don’t wanna wake up
I just don’t wanna wake up
slowly fading into myself
with bloodshed eyes
shapes are running in front of me
but I can’t move
slowly fading into myself
with bloodshed eyes
hear my voice in your head, don’t let me fade away
I don’t wanna be alone, I don’t wanna be scared
I wish that I could be
something more than memory
this world means nothing to me
I wish that you could see
this void is killing me
this world means nothing
don’t let me fade away
I’m falling into pieces
and I can’t save myself
I’m falling into pieces
you left me here and fucking ran away
hear my voice in your head, don’t let me fade away
I don’t wanna be alone, I don’t wanna be scared
I wish that I could be
something more than memory
this world means nothing to me
I wish that you could see
this void is killing me
this world means nothing to me
standing on the shore
waiting for the tides to come
and take me over, breathless
unyielding stone, yet broken inside
my name is cursed, but so am I
if all the words I ever said mean anything
if all the words I ever said are true
I wish that I could be
something more than memory
standing on the shore
waiting for the tides to come
and take me over, breathless
unyielding stone, yet broken inside
my name is cursed, but so am I
if all the words I ever said mean anything
if all the words I ever said are true
I wish that I could be
something more than memory

Six Feet Apart
04:33
|
|

as my blood is dripping on the roses we have planted
longing’s filling empty walls of my mind
but the lack of your presence is like a poison
and I choke on every thought that you are gone
stealing air from my lungs
oh angel
will you guide me back home
oh angel
will you show me the door
that will lead me back home
would you say my name?
cause I don’t want to go
I’m so scared of night
of being here alone
I fall apart, I lose myself
with every step I take
say my name again
before I close my eyes
I just want to see your face for the last time
just take the needle and sew my broken heart
there’s nothing else I can think about
it’s so hard
to say goodbye
if there’s no tomorrow
If I’m not supposed to wake up
by your side
it’s like spending the night
six feet apart
I just want to know this feeling for the last time
I just want to breathe, to fill my lungs with air
I choke on every thought that you’re in the past now
and I think I need someone to pick me up
would you say my name?
cause I don’t want to go
I’m so scared of night
of being here alone
I fall apart, I lose myself
with every step I take
say my name again
before I close my eyes
it’s like spending the night
six feet apart

I closed my eyes, laying on the ground
waiting for silence to come take my heart
with tears in my eyes
I used to be so proud
now I am staring blind
there was no hope, this ship had to drown
I’m torn and tired of running away
there is a price we had to pay
for our mistakes
and mine is buried down six feet underground
there is no hope left inside my lungs
run through the gloom of my abandoned soul
just pick up the pieces
and make me whole
I've been alone for far too long
and now you are the only one
who brings me hope
I left you with hatred
burned across my heart
I forgot your face,
our roses have died
but you're the only one, who never gave up on me
so please come back from heavens,
save me from misery
from ashes to dust
can you hear my scream
from whole to scratch
can you take my hand
lost and alone in the maze of my brain
I've made mistakes now I don't know how to
how to escape,
being trapped by
the fate of a cursed man
when all I left behind is only
ash and dust
I left behind
only tears and cries
run through the gloom of my abandoned soul
just pick up the pieces
and make me whole
I've been alone for far too long
and now you are the only one
who brings me hope
don’t let me go
run through the gloom of my abandoned soul
just pick up the pieces
and make me whole
I've been alone for far too long
and now you are the only one
who brings me hope
I want to wake up to see the sun again
run through the gloom of my abandoned soul
please promise me that this is not the end
save me from myself
just pick up the pieces
and make me whole
I am trying to hold to this fading fate
I've been alone for far too long
don’t let me go
and now you are the only one
who brings me hope
