Choose wisely between... You have to choose they tell you Between the darkness and the light. Remember, no flame is eternal, No candle can forever withstand the winds that haunt these realms. You give a hand and forever pretend to see the difference though you cast such a human shadow, like every other man. Choose wisely between an ocean to dive through and a desert to cross by foot, they say. It overwhelms you. what I can understand, but you let it out on me. blaming me for the water and the sand in your lungs. Have hope and trust in yourself, let me believe in you like I always used to. But you can‘t decide between the dawn and the devil‘s grin, between the dusk and A blinding angel‘s skin. I am stuck in between, this is what I get for sacrificing me to you. Choose wisely between an ocean to dive through and a desert to cross by foot, they say. It overwhelms you. what I can understand, but you let it out on me. Blaming me for the water and the sand in your lungs.

Atlantis

I always told you, you should not be listening to voices, poisoning your mind. Driving you more into self-destruction. But since when do we learn from failures? We never thought it all would go this far... down. You built the walls, you built this city, excluded the world. And now that the city sinks and the groundwork of your walls drowns, I blame you for not being strong. Atlantis is going down Beneath the surface is no redemption at all. Is this what you wanted? All alone, surrounded only by eternal depth. I always told you, you should not be listening to voices, poisoning your mind. The voice I meant was your own.

Dwelling in a place where even the most faithful of people would find themselves in doubt of their god.constantly digging over the rotting garden THAT IS my soul, breaking roots in vain. how long will this linger in my head? those violins play no lovesongs anymore. No lovesongs. No violins. let‘s take this as a sign. this leads nowhere. let‘s follow the signs that lead us nowhere. Trying to walk away was never any useful when every path just leads astray. still breaking roots in vain.I‘ll never rip you out, like a cancer.the damage is done and i am sure I just make it worse.

Heart on my sleeve

Just like the sun does every evening, You too will learn the hard way that nothing lasts forever, That noone stays on the top for too long. The throne weathers but stays the same. It’s the faces that change through the seasons. (And you will change through the seasons). Oh, the king will die just like the last. In the eyes of eternity, we all fade so fast. Just like a windswept leaf in the fall, You will learn the hard way, that you can’t defeat every foe at all. Run forever…try to run forever, like the blood in your veins, But you too will learn the hard way that we are never ever there. Let these words lead your way, ´Cause no one will take your hand And guide you through the thorns Watching your fall. And to say that, to take your illusions away Is the hardest thing for me, I swear.

The world under the feet, The canopy above and focused. I‘m out of breath from climbing The highest mountains. I‘m out of breath. I can‘t say a word. And now here I am. I guess I’ll never be ready. This is too big for me. Can I ever be ready? My arms are open, open to try. My thoughts are heading for the sky. Silent I cry out my doubts from the top of my earthly tower. Let them evaporate in the everchanging winds. They‘ve never been more useless than now. „Have trust in what we are still to experience, my friend.“ He told me and hold my hand. We will never be ready, for this is too big for us. With our hope and our minds headed for the sky. Our arms are open, open to try. When we die. We’ll die unheard. We die.

Shadows & Dust

I am barely awake thus my cognition is still struggling with what seems to be real. So badly in need for help to tear down the curtain covering up what surrounds me. I just can‘t get rid of the urge to close my eyes. has this world changed or am I surrendering myself to illusions again? Neither confused nor clear, on my knees or running, always searching, never finding... never finding closure. what we‘ve been taught from the start make it so hard to believe that everything we are and ever will be are shadows, shadows and dust.
