Razors Edge

800 million people are feeling the pinch of hunger every day
while media prostitutes go to the jungle for some tv ratings
we aren’t growing to all sides, we are really getting fat
our disease-promoting lifestyle sacrifices everyone who’s out
profit is the new religion and the economic wise men
are the prophets in a church called multi corporate enterprises
corruptible authorities and barons of the lies arranging
corrupt practice at elections in front of forced tv cams

social networks for the masses unknowingly storing your life
acting like online surveillance, lock-step always straight ahead
dying individuals are lining mainstream marching bands
who’s undecided now will cry and cheer big brothers hive
no one cares the rabbit hole, where privacy meets piracy
everyone for himself, seen individually
800 million secrets to deep six in scary holes
going once, going twice, going three times, sold!

all by myself I can’t resist
i’ll wait for you to coexist
let’s buck the trend and let us dance
on razors edge holding your hand

we are falling off the edge, in doing so boozing champagne
in a world under surveillance, counterculture fades away
wouldn’t dream of changing things as longs as no one else begins
but that’s no use for man or beast if we’re going down the drain
in the age of endless streams, full of content on demand
Nothing can surprise us cause everything is chewed for
we don’t notice what’s a fact, a lemming march straight to the edge
marching to a different drum, reminds you of where are we from

all by myself I can’t resist
i’ll wait for you to coexist
let’s buck the trend and let us dance
on razors edge holding your hand

Color Red

like the color red i explode
crave it crave it let it go, let it go
keep going, oh keep going
no no no

like a drug i’m pulled in and i don’t want to stop
i know have to stop but i can’t
yes i can stop, no i can’t
what do I do, what do I not

burning myself to feel alive
burning to kill me slowly
i’m burning
pain is pleasure

like the color red i shine
until the explosion’s over
and all there is left is ashes
ashes of my soul and me

oh, the emotions indescribable
no words, yet so many
so indecisive
i have to die to feel alive

like the color red i shine
until the explosion’s over
and all there is left is ashes
ashes of my soul and me
like the color red i burn and burn
until i give up the fight
please forgive me, forgive me for
shining like the color red

burning myself to feel alive
burning to kill me slowly
i’m burning
pain is pleasure

like the color red i shine …

i’ve burned down
red turns to blue and all
i do is drown
in the beautiful sea of you

Stop Doin‘ Nothing

suddenly you stepped into my life
like a drop-dead gorgeous beauty queen
an adaption to all my fantasies
really unsurpassable to me
your body captivated all my senses
your wanton look made me so confident
and now stop doin‘ nothing

you stopped to idolize me, you stopped to victimize me
in that case I don’t care, but you
banished me for life from your heart in a trice i was lost
to you and now stop doin‘ nothing

we made it all night long
far into the smallest hours
your body is sheer insanity
felt like alice in wonderland

your lovely eyes excited me
i melted at the sight
luscious lips deluxe were touching mine
your smile is a killer
i’m afraid to say you touched my soul
you are not worth my tears
because you throw it all away
and now stop doin‘ nothing

and when you left me all alone
i kissed another girl i know
but she hardly could compete with you
cause she wasn’t crazy just like you

you stopped to idolize me, you stopped to victimize me
in that case I don’t care, but you
banished me for life from your heart in a trice i was lost
to you and now stop doin‘ nothing

we made it all night long
far into the smallest hours
your body is sheer insanity
felt like alice in wonderland

we made it all night long …

you stopped to idolize me …

When You Were All Mine

like a circus full of tragic clowns
we have had many up and downs
but dancing to the daily beat
is always everything you need

each time we begin to move
we always dance to different grooves
and though I’ve sworn that i won’t quit
we both know well that we don’t fit

everything’s broken and torn up deep down inside me
cannot hear your voice though you are right beside me
turn up your music and i will turn on the lights
then i will wait and watch for your new painted stage curtain to rise

do you feel the heat, come enjoy the beat
you say you always liked flying high with me
i haven’t felt this heat for a long time
i remember moments when you were all mine
let us dive down deep, i’ll feel your wounds tonight
i’ll look into your heart, where i’ll find the key
i haven’t felt this heat for a long time
i remember moments when you were all mine

don’t stop dancing off the grid
those ego moves you always did
but life is choreography
even Though i know you don’t agree

never mind it’s not too late
we still have something to create
nothing less than something weird
a love that never disappears

everything’s broken and torn up deep down inside me
cannot hear your voice though you are right beside me
turn up your music and i will turn on the lights
then i will wait and watch for your new painted stage curtain to rise

do you feel the heat, come enjoy the beat …

Versuchung

ich seh in euren herzen was ihr im stande seid zu geben
für das was ihr immer wolltet was auch immer ihr begehrt
und ist das herz euch noch so schwer ich gebe euch was immer
ihr auch begehrt, oh ooohhh

kein irrlicht wird euch täuschen und kein leuchtturm wird euch führen
kein pfad wird für euch bereitet von der unvollkommenheit
und ist das herz euch noch so schwer ich gebe euch was immer ihr
auch begehrt, oh ooohhh

seht hin seht her, sein wort bleibt leer
nur ein irrlicht trieb euch her, das wird ein weg ohne wiederkehr
lasst euch nicht weiter täuschen glaubt nur was ihr seht
der wohlklang seiner lieder hat den kopf euch schon verdreht

seid euch gewahr, ich bin ganz nah
hier komme ich, und lass euch nicht im stich
ich werd euch führen, und öffne türen
absolution, nicht euer lohn

mein chaos wird euch lenken und eure angst lässt mich euch führen
ein kleines stückchen freiheit für mehr zufriedenheit
so schleichend komm ich über euch einen namen brauch
ich längst nicht mehr, oh ooohhh

seht hin seht her, sein wort bleibt leer
nur ein irrlicht trieb euch her, das wird ein weg ohne wiederkehr
lasst euch nicht weiter täuschen glaubt nur was ihr seht
der wohlklang seiner lieder hat den kopf euch schon verdreht

seid euch gewahr, ich bin ganz nah …

Can’t Count On You

oh, what a beautiful morning
and we’re on the high seas
unimpressed with the high waves
you’ll navigate through these

your eyes reach the horizon
and nothing knocks you off course
and i start to freeze
while you stand your ground

you will let me down
no matter if I’m drowning
i can’t count on you
you can’t escape your skin
i know, and there’s absolutely nothing i can do

like a thick black veil
darkness covers your smile
and the cresting high waves
make you sick in the meantime

why longing for the distance
when something bound you to the floor
you only need a warm place
to hide behind a closed door

you will let me down …

love my obsession baby, that is what drives you crazy
love my obsession baby, that is what drives you crazy
love my obsession baby, that is what drives you crazy
don’t mind depression baby, ya’ only drive insane maybe

you will let me down …

Silence

i close my eyes
and try to see
the number of birds in the sky, but
that’s not possible

cause it was not me
who placed those birds in my thoughts
you’re the one who painted that picture
i envision

reflecting about us is a hopeless
thing to do like counting the birds
and no one but ourselves
is to blame

it’s hard to lose one’s hold my
darling you mean the world
to me
can’t you see

it’s all down the drain
all but the autumn rain
so many summers that i spent kissing you
but nowadays it’s so hard to be missing you
it’s all down the drain
who is to blame
you can’t say i was not crazy about you, no
to be unfaithful didn’t enter my mind, oh no

as the phrase goes
please be patient
time is a great healer
for everyone

but we both
reopened old scars and said things we
never wanted
never wanted

now we lie here
face to face and sadly we play
play the game
of silence

it’s hard to lose one’s hold my …

Lucid Dreams

i told you that i need someone to
breathe with me
like the way i breathe
someone who push’s me forward when the
whole world
is moving backwards

i want to hold my breath
when she’s in front of me
her warmness and her pureness
lord, make me believe

i cannot climb the towers
they are two feet from the floor
cause the really wicked pressure
makes me weak and small

i want to hold my breath
when she’s in front of me
her warmness and her pureness
lord, make me believe

who would have dreamt, that lucid dreams
how it seems, make unhappy, too
but you will find another way
another day, to make my dreams come true

nothing ‘bout to worry
when you just pave my way
and always leave a light on
beside my golden cage

i want to hold my breath
when she’s in front of me
her warmness and her pureness
lord, make me believe

who would have dreamt, that lucid dreams
how it seems, make unhappy, too
but you will find another way
another day, to make my dreams come true
