This life led me to the wrong place
These signs show me that I have lost my self-preservation
And I know my mind won’t rest until I walked through hell
All these bitter memories while I hide behind all this substance
A closer lookin the mirror, this isn’t me
Ashamed of what I’ve become
And I know I’ve lost control over me
These nights protect me from reality
All I’ve lost is me in fantasy

Royal Blood

Let’s take a look at the deep animated shroud
Forgot all these lessons to solve oppression
These cold pale fingers try to snap a tainted crown
Yet royal blood is running through our veins
I can’t find a reason for staying alive anymore
Cause now I realized this bitter world’s in vain
Now I remember all my wounds which became
Scars, symbols and monuments
Walking straight ahead to our endless abyss
Our feet retire on our way at getting old
Here I am waiting for you
To explain me the nature of our kind
Can’t we blame our society?
How will our mankind survive?
The world is not as it seems
I’d rather change my life

And now you should know how it feels to be parted from you
To pick up the pieces you left here
Failed at trying to link them back again
Too many words left unsaid
I carried the picture you planted in my head
It is so hard being tracked by your voice every night
I created a terrible monster which haunts me
It lets me think of you all the time
Should I be thankful for what I had?
Five years of pain is all I’ve got

Tell me why
Our world split apart and we live this duality
Why I was wrong when I thought we’ve missed some parts?
And since when humanity got lost in each other’s eyes?
Tell me how we got here
We were given this world,
Rushed after all these dreams we tried to live
Believed in gods whose actions we don’t get
Prayed for solutions and a live after death
It’s hard to believe
It’s hard to believe humans can’t think
It’s hard to remember consequences
And what we did in the past
Can’t find a reason to scream
scream out my lungs in despair of reality
Can’t humans define their way to live or to lie?
Why do I stand apart from this deluded majority?
It’s hard to believe that humans can’t think
And what we did in the past
It’s hard to believe that humans can’t think
And all these consequences
Don’t count on me

I remember darkest times, when everything seemed to be burned.
A god who let us here to die

Waking up in this old daily tristesse* (FR: Sadness)
Permanently controlled by this historical mess
Drowning in a frockof ancient habits
Holding hands, I have to care cause it’s so important
Barely holding the weight of my existence
Down on my knees,boney and crackling in vain
Confessing what’s wrong remains in my existence
“insincere”, I say, admitting my sins
The flock’s opposing itself
Seeing blindly, hearing, yet deaf
Feeling heartless, although there is a heart
Watching closely, hearing slightly
Believing in our own
What’s right and what’s wrong?
Don’t go by a book
Might be truth, might be tales
Don’t act in terms of a story
Act how you feel right

Four walls at steady height,
from young age ‘til I grown,
seemed plain white to all others,
but colored to my own.
Not always loved,
not always liked,
but always standing straight.
They mostly gave all strength to me
Empowered my soul
Many words tearing apart the crowd inhabiting the room’s inner heart
Studded with cracks, taped and repaired uncountable times,
I wish these wounds won’t remain infinite
One wall engraved with words
Another one with signs
The third seems empty to give freedom to my mind
One wall engraved with words
Another one with signs
The fourth has its door left open
Not always loved,
not always liked,
but always standing straight.
They mostly gave all strength to me
Not always loved,
not always liked,
but always standing straight.
Empowered my soul
At the doorstep I hear a little child
Its words don’t seem empty
A story of its own:
“I am the son of my mother and I am proud of that.
You’ve thrown your life away to make mine worthy,
All you taught me made my life precious.
Every single day I will be there for you
I can’t remotely give back what you gave to me
One day I will be drunk enough to see I need you
One day I will be wise enough to see I love you”

Suspense eats up my perception
falling backwards in life
I stand in front of this crossroad
with no idea which way to go
If you tell life offers so many possibilities
I wonder why I stand in front of all these locked - up doors
One day I will find
these keys
which'll set me free
Begging for a pleasure, countering waves of depressions
a hand full of hope for my blackened heart
Suspense eats up my perception
falling backwards in life
Suspense eats up my perception
falling backwards in life
In life
With every heartbeat, every breath I'm afraid to die
because I don't know who I am
This little boy inside my chest told me to go on
I am stronger than this
with every heartbeat, every breath I'm afraid to die
because I don't know who I am
The world spinning further
should I take my path
to discover the beauty of the earth
the human being
this journey over years

Once a small wish takes place,
overcomes our mind, plays tricks on it
then we feel like there is no choice
like there’s no, no help at all
we find ourselves in disguise
once we try to take, take place what’s not for us
rip moss fields apart from the grass
and yet
and yet nothing to lose
every time, everyday
I thought we’d fall in grace
Had no choice
I meant to be like that
There’s nothing to change
