Admiration in their Eyes

They say that fear keeps us running
but we miss so much at this pace
we long for lust and crave for pleasure
out of distrust we show of care no trace

Here you're standing in your sparkling bubble
See it shine in the shimmering light
Here you're standing in your sparkling bubble
See them hail through the watery hide

Admiration in their eyes
Until you move into their sights

Here you're standing in your shining bubble
Smiling faces, but hearts shut thight

Admiration in their eyes
until you move into their sights
until you know what's wrong what's right
until you move

Don't tell me you know what I am thinking
it's not your part to assume my thoughts
just judge me by my actions
mine is only that, which I have bought

Here you're standing on the fiery rubble
See the conquered kneel at your feet
Here you're standing on the burning rubble
bowing bodies when glances meet

Admiration in their eyes
until you move into their sights

Then it's duck and cover
Then it's duck and cover

Admiration in their eyes
until you move into their sights
until you know what's wrong what's right
until you move

(Solo)

They say that fear keeps us running

out of distrust we show of care no trace

mine is only that, which I have bought
it's not your approval, I have sought

Balance

Distant voices whisper to me
distinct choices I never have seen
instinct forces my actions on me
inside noises make me fall to my knees

Balance of mind is what I seek
Balance of soul is what I need
Balance of kind is what I want to see
Balance between
what can never be the same

A man who's crawling does not care for a cane
A man who's tempted might fail to resist
A man who's brawling has no ears for the sane
A man who's de-railed needs some reason to live

Balance of mind is what I seek
Balance of soul is what I need
Balance of kind is what I want to see
Balance between
what can never be the same

Balance of mind is what I seek
Balance of soul is what I need
Balance of kind is what I want to see
Balance between
what can never be the same

Black Hole Bitch

Each time I try to place myself out of your gravity field
I not seem to able to push on through
Each time I try to flee from your gravity field
My rocketship won't reach escape velocity

You look so slim
You look so slim
You look so slim
but you're a black hole bitch
and you're trying to suck me in

Each time I rotate around you in high orbit
Your beauty strikes me like a hammer so hard
In breathless wonder I float in awe
and I'm beginning to feel your... your attraction again

your attraction
your attraction

Each time that I almost could touch the stars
your enormous presence won't allow me to get higher
I can't help but prepare myself for reentry
and once more I slowly burn myself to ashes in your atmosphere

You make me spin
You make me spin
You make me spin
but you're a black hole bitch
and you're trying to suck me in

You're a blackhole bitch!

Book

Let me be your book
You can read me late at night
And if I'm getting bored
You might be getting tired
But you can't skip my pages
and you can't read my end
before you know my beginning
'cause otherwise I wouldn't be whole

I wouldn't be whole
No, I wouldn't be whole

Let me be your pillow
You can rest your head at night
And if I'm geting hard
you might wake up in fright
But you can't skip my pages
and you can't read my end
before you know my beginning
'cause otherwise I wouldn't make sense

No, I wouldn't make sense
No, I wouldn't make sense

Let me be your cup
You can fill me with your dreams
And if I'm getting full
I'll swallow all your grief
Let me be your book
Let me be your cup
Let me be your pillow
You can load it on me
Load it all on me
So I can finally be
WHOLE

Dying Will To Live

They say that blood is thicker than water
but from their wounds the cut do bleed
They say that wealth produces freedom
but too much wealth generates greed
How come, if we are all born equal
so few have happy lives to lead
They say that one hand washes the other
but who comes to rescue in dire need

I try to believe them
to ignore the pain
to regain my optimism
in vain

(and now) I feel my slowly dying will to live

Simply nothing more for me to give

It's said there's no place like home sweet home
but some have no home to retreat
It's said we should stand up for our rights
some are to weak to stand on their feet

  Errors of the past

verse1
here we stand in this dry open country
nothing here but the blood on our hands
is there anything more you can offer
than the spots of your tears in the sand

bridge1
why did we slaughter all the meaning in our lives?
why do we stand in our own way?
why do we mirror all the hurt we felt inside?
why is it always Judgement Day?

chorus1
We gotta get it on
We gotta tear walls down
We gotta take their bricks and build something that laaaaaaaaaaasts

Laaaast time you stood before the floodgates of love, you drowned
This time just try to keep your head above…

If you want the ultimate love
You gotta keep your head above


verse2
Did we think we could keep complete freedom
only sharing the highs without lows
true companionship needs dedication
a true relation can suffer some blows

bridge2
When intimacy was breathing down our necks
we jumped our ship before the shore
If you're not willing to turn the other cheek
you will never reach the core

If you want to harvest - first sow the seeds!

chorus2
We gotta dig the ground
And let the waters pound
We gotta cultivate and grow something that laaaaaaaaaaasts

Laaaast time you stood before the floodgates of love, you drowned
This time just try to keep your head above…

If you want the ultimate love
You gotta keep your head above


verse3

Still we stand in this dry open country
Nothing here but the blood on our hands
(But) if we're willing to reach new horizons
There's no telling where we might land

bridge3
high time to reasses the errors of our past
a time to build our ship anew
a time to leave behind what wasn't built to last
a time to set our course anew

outro
The beauty and the beast
The laughter and the grief
Knowledge and belief
Offer and retrieve
The greatest and the least

ALL LOVE IS WORK!
ALL LOVE IS WORK!
ALL LOVE IS WORK!
ALL LOVE IS WORK!

Facts and fiction
Smoothness and friction
Silence and diction

ALL LOVE IS WORK!
ALL LOVE IS WORK!
ALL LOVE IS WORK!

Good Lord

Good Lord
Shine your light for me
Goog Lord
Hold your hands with me
Good Lord
Show the way to me
Good Lord
Burn your flame for me

If I'm getting to uptight
I cry
I take a ride with my Good Lord
and we float above the rivers
The rivers wet my hair
My Good Lord parts the waves
and He leads the way

Good Lord
Ride the skies with me
Good Lord
Roam the nights with me
Good Lord
Soothe my enemies
Good Lord
Light your hopes with me

If I'm getting to uptight
We echo through the night
I float above your head
with my Good Lord
Let me be above the rivers
the rivers of your hair
let me float into your blood
through your body, the desolate lair

Good Lord Good Lord
Good Lord Good Lord Good Lord
Good Lord Shine your
Shine your light for - me

Liquid Lover

Liquid dreaming of liquid flight
Liquid realms of liquid light
Liquid cries of liquid sound
Liquid shores on liquid ground

Liquid lover floating above my head
Her liquid features diving through my bed
Liquid ships on liquid oceans
Liquid brains and liquid emotions

Liquid sensation of heavy gravity
Liquid illusions, I'm trapped in her cavities

Liquid illusion
Liquid illusion

Liquid dreaming of liquid flight
Liquid realms of liquid light
Liquid cries of liquid sound
Liquid shores on liquid ground

Liquid lover
Liquid lover

Needle Blues

Tryin' to keep the needle
from pushing through my brain

Tryin' to keep the water
that kept me dry inside
for the longest time

for the longest time

Tryin' to keep the acid
from deluting my brain

Tryin' to keep the poison
that kept me numb inside
for the longest time
for the longest time

Tryin' to keep the needle
from sticking in my veins

Tryin' to keep the water
that kept me dry inside
for the longest time
for the longest time

No such things

There is no such thing as a right to live
if you ask the dying
There is no such thing as choice of believe
if you ask the lying
There is no such thing as exploitation
if you ask the thriving
There no such thing as being stuck in a place
if you ask the driving...

Modesty just out of reach
Prudence just out of reach
Benevolence just out of reach
Generosity just out of reach

There is no such thing as a right to live
if you ask the dying
There is no such thing as choice of believe
if you ask the lying
There is no such thing as exploitation
if you ask the thriving
There no such thing as being stuck in a place
if you ask the driving...

Candidness just out of reach
Equality just out of reach
Safety just out of reach
Tolerance just out of reach

Silent Sanity

I wash my hands in innocence
and wear my head up high
I wash my hands in innocence
and hold my head up high

She brought me to the water
and washed into the sea
She brought me to the water
and washed into the sea

Silent Sanity

She smiled just like an angel,
smelled like sincerity
She smiled just like an angel,
smelled like sincerity to me

Silent Sanity

I heed no accusations
listen to no complaints
no claims 'gainst me are valid
you better not challenge me today

I wash my hands in innocence
and wear my head up high
I wash my hands in innocence
and hold my head up high

Silent...

Time

I try to
make sense of
the fact that you're complaining all the time
And I try to
support you
to get yourself back on the line

I can not
I can not
I can not take you back in time

I try to
think like you
and see things right through your blinded eyes
I try to
refute you
and give answers to all your how's and why's

But
I can not
I can not
I can not take you back in time

I can not
I can not
I can not take you back in time

I try to
make sense of
the fact that you're complaining all the time
And I try to
support you
to get yourself back on the line
Sometimes it's like whatever they do
You just get it askew
and take on humanity
Sometimes it's like nothing I say
could ever drag you away out of your self-pity

But
I can not
I can not
I can not take you back in time

I can not
I can not
I can not take you back in time

I can not
I can not
I can not take you back in time
