broken words

black holes spinning
through my mind

black birds singing
'til they die

mumble, stumble,
fall and cry

humble question
tell me why

why is darkness everything I see
is there something that I'm missing

what does darkness even mean to me
will I ever be the one who's kissing

who's kissing the lips of the broken words

Other paths

Where stars once were
she asked for light
but nothing was the answer

Where once a fire lit the night
the coldness made her numb

She looked for all the tiny shards
where once her heart was beating
but what she found were many hearts
herself she was deceiving

For when a human breaks apart
when suddenly life shatters
it's hard to see the other paths
but they're what really matters.

A maze

I never find any words
but they find me

so when I am speechless
it's just the words
trapped in a maze

and behind every corner
there's a picture of your eyes
making them dizzy
and lost

Eyes

He once had lost something.
He didn't know what it was,
but everytime he looked into her eyes,
he knew that she was keeping it for him.

One day she left and she took it with her,
leaving him behind to figure out what it was,
but he can only remember
the colors of her eyes.

Come on over

Come on over for a coffee
just to share a lovely smile,
just to talk a little silly
to each other for a while.

Come on over, we could lay down
in the night and watch the stars.
We could whisper and imagine
that we both were off to Mars.

Come on over, we could live here
'til we're old, yes, 'til we're done.
We could share our secret habits,
we would cry, we would have fun.

Come on over, bring some coffee,
tell me all your stupid thoughts,
until night greets us with stars
and we feel that time is scarce.
You would take away all doubts
and forever we'll be fine.

Oh, I know it's just a cliché
but at least it would be mine.

What really matters

People often won't agree
with what you're going to do.
And maybe there will be rough times
that you have to go through.

But as you go, you will discover
so many special moments.
We're swimming in a sea of thoughts,
we're looking for our homelands.

The time for being settled down
will come, when we are old.
We're young, supposed to find ourselves
outside of what they've told.

And times go by and times will change
and that's what we call life.
And time will fly and you will age
and soon peace will arrive.

Many things you do today
don't matter in ten years.
But I'm quite sure you're not alone,
neither in fears nor tears.

Yes, people often won't agree
with what you're going to do.
But people often will not see
what really matters: You.

Do your drugs

What do the sheppards know
of the lives of sheep?
What do the angels do
when god has fallen asleep?

How many precious treasures
are buried in dust?
How long can stone cold faces
still cover hidden lust?

Whos arm is it that's growing
when something's out of reach?
Who is it that is buying
your dying right of speech?

How many smiling people
disguise anxiety?
How often do you lie
to please society?

Dreams

He screams "I don't need anyone"
into a microphone,
but with no band to back him up
his scream just sounds alone.

And yes, it's too familiar.
It might drive me insane.
But maybe in the end there is
just me still here to blame.

I find it kinda scary.
I'm just a boy named Sue.
The dreams in which I'm falling
feel more real than life could do.

And one day it is over.
When everything is done
nothing's left to care of.
I don't need anyone.

A Midnight Encounter

Moon was gleaming through the fog
tinting all the world in gray,
much brighter than a night should be,
still there wasn't lot to see,
but so much darker than a day.

Wandering there through the mists
I was sunken deep in thought,
when suddenly a scream I hear,
cutting sharply through my ear,
that human voice could've never brought.

And inside the croaking haze
echoed loud a frantic moan,
as in an eye blink something white,
like the full moons purest light,
appeared beside me, made me frown.

So I looked into the gloom
fearing what leaves nightly trails,
and there it stood, looked back at me,
graceful in its majesty,
with eyes out of forgotten tales.

Staring there out of the dust
right into my stumbling heart,
was nothing more than just a Raven,
nothing less, I thought so craven,
which could have been a piece of art.

As I faced the ancient being
memories of Poe arise,
so I whispered into silence,
afraid to wake the singing sirens,
"Are you a bird or in disguise?"

Then I approached the silent beast,
spellbound by its purity,
no answer came out of the beak,
I also had no words to speak,
but it brought back my sanity.

Suddenly a wind starts whistling
and I heard a faeries song,
woven from my soul and heartbeat
into the line where earth and sky meet,
and with the fog the bird was gone.

Finished 02.04.2018
But I needed ages for this one (about 5 months)

burned water

swimming through the crowds
of eyes i've never seen
comfort in just being
comfort in just being

but nothing lasts forever
and nothing is in me
at last my soul is empty
at last my soul is empty

'cause when i see your face
between the colorful lines
all the colors go blind
all the colors go blind

a long way i've been going
too many of a turn
and all the water is burned
and all the water is burned

and seeds that i have poured
into my empty soul
still try to grow new colors
still wait for soothing water

Side by side

I think love isn't limitless,
I think that love can end,
I think there's one thing to confess:
For love you shall not bend.

I hope to love eternally,
I hope I'll give my soul,
I hope for endless harmony;
for love I'd change my whole.

I think love's just biology,
I hope I am not right,
I know life's much less agony
when standing side by side.

Recover

Lately the first sun rays of this summer touched my skin
and I realized that I am on a way upwards

I start feeling better and more pretty
without the need for medicine
I feel the sensation of tasting carrots
instead of chips and chocolate
I feel like I am on a flight through my life
without weed and alcohol
I smile while I am walking around
just because I love the music I am listening too

Lately I remembered how I used to play the drums
before everything started to break apart

Lately I started looking forward to play the drums again some day
when I am back in the rhythm of life

Fight for her

I pulled those pills out of your mouth
I put a tissue on your wounds
I wanted just to scream and shout
but I kept doing this for you
because I thought that you'll come through
I didn't know what I could do.

To see that you gave up yourself
to see you swimming through
your very own personal hell
ripped me apart in two,
but i kept going on,
I am going on for you.

And now it's past, three month ago,
but still you want to leave the show
and I still want to hold you here,
I try, I cry, I fight my fear,
I fight again, like everyday,
I only want to make you stay.

I love you, yes, that's what you know,
you don't love me or just can't show,
but when we kill, what's killing you,
than may one day we will be two,
two hearts one soul, that's what we are,
I'm lost in nights, but you're my star.

So just keep going, you can do,
believe in me, believe in you
and then the future will be bright,
another day, another fight.
And in the end noone can know,
what is the end, our life will show.

The fight called life

World fucked up that crazy shit.
Words can't hurt, but words can hit.
You lose your head, you lose your tears,
what happened in those hard-lived years?

Everyday your heart will burn
since this point of no return.
When mornings keeping to get worse,
stand up and go just means to force.

Sunshine's there and you still try
but far too often have to cry.
And hope, just like a firefly,
is vanishing in night.
It's far too easy to give up
this first and only fight.

You've done the things that they have told,
but you're to young to grow that old.
You lose yourself, you lose your mind
and after all we can't rewind.

Sunshine's there, we have to try,
even if we need to cry.
Our hope, just like a firefly,
lightens up the nightblue sky.

And days will come and you will see,
one day we're free, one day we're free.

It's far too easy to give up.

Stand up against the Sound of Silence

Layed sleeping, dreaming in my bed,
walked on the streets where we first met.
Streetlight was flickering so shy
and all those people came to die.
The cancer painted on the wall
has grown unseen to fast and tall.
Still remaining in the sound of silence.

But suddenly there was a flash
and like a phoenix out of ash
one man stood up and tried to speak
at first he clearly was too weak.
But with time the power came,
he started speaking without shame.
Running against the walls of silence.

Streetlights started shining brighter,
people started feeling lighter,
they began to refuse dying,
while I saw a silver lining.
And the voice layed upon all
soon it was cancer-like tall.
Filling all the room of silence.

And through the light the message told
came to my brain so bright and bold.
Concentrate on what i heard,
voices like the sound of bird.
The silence has no chance to stay
if you have anything to say.
Lyric banishes the sound of silence.

[Sinngemäße deutsche Übersetzung: Aufstand gegen den Klang der Stille]

Living Without Fear

Open up your heart to each and
every being on our earth.
Nothing's wrong with giving others
all the love that we can serve.

Be a human and be treated like
is our biggest right.
And you should never think about
giving up the fight.

Take a look behind the curtain.
Start to break down all those walls.
See what's beyond of what you're seeing.
Until the last prejudice falls.

More than a trillion animals
here with you and me.
So don't just love the humans,
instead all living things you see.

It starts with little plankton floating
around in the seven seas.
And goes up until we're reaching
all the crowns of the highest trees.

All of them together
have the right of living here.
So start to spread the message
for a living without fear.
