1. BLINDAGES

They say
They will
Take chance
For themselves

They pray
And still
The glance won't show in front of their
Face

Taught by a book they understand
A lot but something they just can't
Or don't want to read the lines of what
Could make them tumble in belief

They preach
But they don't mention anymore
What's real and so they are the gods
Judging the world but not themselves
As prayers of no use

And all the bad will disappear
If we believe in what they say
Because for all of us the end is near
If we do not follow their way

What right
They have
To suppress
Others by

Such faith
Cause it's just
A result
Of human minds

When will they learn to believe
In that what counts
All human beings are free
In dignity and rights

Bow to the will of us all
Bow to the consciousness
Cause as a part of the whole
Together we'll be the gods


2. EMPATHIZE THIS

We presume to be the chosen
Ours is the promised land
Our hearts are cold and frozen
We just love what we possess

Becoming fat becoming old
Is what we're afraid of
Just a stone's throw away we disregard
Those whose greatest joy these fears would be

By now
There is no reason to take care about
Why should we?

But aren't we so far away, are we?
Let's take control of ourselves
To share a part of our prosperity
Let's take control it's in our hands
The standard which we're living in
Let's take control let's take command
Is far beyond our basic needs
Let's take control let's take control

Problems that result of wealth
Are not a menace for our lives
Luck consists of many facets
And i think we'll have to redefine

Are we
The bad guys without shame and empathy?
Why should we?


3. THE SHADOW OF GLASS

Once more it is as yet before
You toldme i'd be your true friend
But these days are gone
Far gone
Acting the same as the first days
You ignore the distance between us
As if we were still as one
Your time is up leave me alone

We laughed
A lot
The less
We cried
When you did
I was
Was on your side

Still you don't know who i am
You seem to notice all but me
Like the shadow of glass
Again i closed our doors, again
Put higher fences between us
But you went right through

Criticized for what i am
Sure you know best how to do
Hearing the same shit every time
Makes me lose my part of you

No, i can't depend
On a honeymoon friendship
Where tears are banned
And fun never ends
Live the dream
I'll stay awake

We laughed
A lot
The less
We cried
And when
When i did
You used to smile


4. REFLECTING THE ABSORBED

A thousand mirrors tell you of a thousand people
No need to have more friends.

Hunting for brightness in the dark
It's already dawning
You sense but you can't feel the warmth
That is surrounding you

It is surrounding me, too

Everything around you blurs to colors far beyond your
Comprehension seems to tremble tumble fall down to the bottom
To the dirt
Sure it hurts but you need to be punched
In order to gain back your consciousness to say the words that matter most
Let me live again

I need to free me from myself
I can defeat the monster on my own
I will succeed against myself to
Understand

That i'm all alone

Hunting for brightness in the dark
You sense but you can't feel the warmth
That is surrounding every part of your body
But what is warmth good for
If it's bouncing back from the inside
As long as you are scared
As long as you're not able to absorb
Cold is all you will reflect

You spoke the words that matter most
Most in your opinion
Just force the ego to let go
You're not alone

You spoke the words

Infectious as a rabic bite the shadows of your past determine
Acting level-headed seems to be an inconceivable idea
But your plea will never match the plan
As long as you just stare at yourself to demand a satisfying state
Let yourself live again
