It all came to life with my words, with your smile Somewhat of a scary feeling No reason to feel what we felt Our own lives so many miles apart The moments we cherished, the letters we wrote The tears that we shared together The days growing closer as friends Our own songs healing worries and pain I really don’t know when it broke, when it fell My castle of cards was crumbling No time left to wave you goodbye No more feelings, no words will remain (Stop! Please!) Let me go, let me be, let me live! (Free) From the madness, from the tears and the rain Take the leap to the land far beyond When you’re drowning in fire And the past tries to drag you down Just let it all out and scream And sing your song to the sky "I know that limp. I know the empty ring finger. And that obsessive nature of yours, that’s a big secret. You got something, anything, one thing. The reason normal people got wives and kids and hobbies, whatever. That’s because they don’t got that one thing that hits them that hard and that true. The thing you think about all the time, the thing that keeps you south of normal. Yeah, makes us great, makes us the best. All we miss out on is everything else.” Just cease all the mind games and put it to rest Let light into darkness, get on with your quest It’s all in your power, a world that is blessed and free Take the leap to the land far beyond When you’re drowning in fire And the past tries to drag you down Just let it all out and scream And sing your song to the sky ...To the sky!

New life in town and festive sounds Little berry unripe and plump, a joy to hug What a pocketful of guiltless light In that dark room through the night But the light came to end, to a very sudden end Overworked, old blood was shed on the floor, bright red And the shouts, God! the cries, and the fights A union wrought in lies Please don’t let him go, please just keep him safe Please you know his mind, NO! Please don’t let him reach and keep him in your sight If anything should happen to this cute and little teddybear I would die as well Get away, get away from the fire In the corner where the boogeyman awaits Come and play, come and play with the fire Mommy’s gonna cry, when the colors turn to gray Please don’t let him hear, please don’t make him cry Things will be alright, NO! Please don’t let him see the blood around my eyes I know you mean no harm to me, so come to bed and cuddle me And be my own demise Get away, get away from the fire In the corner where the boogeyman awaits Come and play, come and play with the fire Mommy’s gonna cry, when the colors turn to gray Hush, little baby, don’t you sigh This lullaby protects you from lows and highs Hush, little baby, can’t you see That mommy and daddy are here for thee Hush! Get away, get away from the fire In the corner where the boogeyman awaits Come and play, come and play with the fire Mommy’s gonna cry, when the colors turn to gray Get away, get away from the fire In the corner where the boogeyman awaits You’re gonna play, gonna play with the fire Mommy’s not around, to deliver you from pain

You have a dream, to be alive But you’re afraid to overcome all your past But if you really want to fly Chase it with all your tenacity Don’t let the evil get you down Don’t let the people get away with your life You only have to get a grip And nothing can stop you Believe in all your actions And try to live with passion Just listen to my song Hear what I have to say and Run towards your dream When you look at the sky you can see you’re alive Hope will set you free When you strive hard enough you will get what you want Don’t ever stop, don’t ever fear You only have to understand to survive I see the rage inside your heart A rage that will lead you to freedom Believe in all your actions And try to live with passion Just listen to my song Hear what I have to say and Run towards your dream When you look at the sky you can see you’re alive Hope will set you free When you strive hard enough you will get what you want Believe in all your actions And try to live with passion Just listen to my song Hear what I have to say and Run towards your dream When you look at the sky you can see you’re alive Hope will set you free When you strive hard enough you will get what you want

Here I stood, a broken man An empty shell of words without a goal Walking tired along this dusty road With all regrets and words untold But then I found a light up In the starry sky above Just a sparkle in the cold That gifted heaven to my bones And day by day it grew And just became so full of hope Only for you, my voice can sing You wonder why? Blame it on your eyes Your diamonds in my sky No matter if the light is gone I know I’ll find the strength to carry on Just blame it on your eyes Your fire in my night No matter if all hope is gone I know I’ll find the will all on my own Blame it on your eyes Here I stand, a broken man A shredded page of life where ink just fades Memories got turned to stone The time we spent a far dot in the shade If I could have just one more day To live my life with you I would trade my songs, my voice, my words And all my glory dreams But without music as my guide What could I give you then? Only my love, my trust, my care And not much else, so... Blame it on your eyes Your diamonds in my sky No matter if the light is gone I know I’ll find the strength to carry on Just blame it on your eyes Your fire in my night No matter if all hope is gone I know I’ll find the will all on my own Blame it on your eyes Blame it on your eyes, Your diamonds in my sky No matter if the light is gone I know I’ll find the strength to carry on Just blame it on your eyes Your fire in my night No matter if all hope is gone I know I’ll find the will all on my own Blame it on your eyes

Here you are The room we met in just a gilded cage The words I wrote, the only link we share So paint them in your mind And shout them high upon the rooftops of your town And one day we’ll be free to meet and fly Here again I wonder, is your face so fair for real? Is your voice as soothing as the waterfall? And will I be the same? Will I be able to remember how it feels To drown in bliss and leave all woes behind? We are more than dreams More than fantasies for you and me We are souls and bodies living in a veil of mysteries But we will make this rea), every second of our lives Running and running, until we’re out of breath Laughing and crying, until we see each other true One for the truth Then two for my own show Three for the things that never let me go Four for the tears and will to meet you in this life Five for the sins and six for my regrets Seven for the very golden air we breathe ‘round and ‘round in the eternal dream of time Here you are The very moment we’ve been dreaming of Your eyes are dark, your tone unclear and far Nevermind The time we’ll spend entwined is lingering so near Take my hand and lead me to the sea We are more than dreams More than fantasies for you and me We are souls and bodies living in a veil of mysteries But we will make this real, every second of our lives Running and running, until we’re out of breath Laughing and crying, until we see each other true One for the truth Then two for my own show Three for the things that never let me go Four for the tears and will to meet you in this life Five for the sins and six for my regrets Seven for the very golden air we breathe ‘round and ‘round in the eternal dream of time

I can see the future in my mind Clear as day, no regrets left behind Open wide, my tired eyes, look away So many lies I had to take Still remember you Wondering how much it hurts To live (with memories of you) I could die a little in revenge I could taste the blood of jealousy Sands of time, they divide, humankind So many tries I had at stake Still I’m loving you Wondering how much it takes To feel The songs I wrote are stones I throw On the grave of the shape I once held The nails I shove into the image Of your eyes and face Smiling at me, shining at me Saying everything will be alright Claiming we had different paths to take As dead as the leaves of a tree that’s supposed to give in Out of sight, out of mind Tried to tell myself at times Broke the unbroken, killed my rhymes Dry as hell, the tears I cried If you could ever see me As the home for your own soul If you could ever take me with you Smiling at me, tearing at me Saying you would choose me if you could, Oh, how many times I cursed those words No matter what they say from high ground No time can mend a storyteller’s heart If there’s only one thing I wish I’d done Is to tell you how beautiful we were No matter what the stories tell us No reason why can cancel all that was And there’s only one thing I wish I’d said Lost among the dark Do you feel the same When you call his name? When you cry in pain When all words are vain? When you hold the tears When you face your fears (Do you feel the same When the dark is near?) Do you feel the same When you call his name? When we were so close Was it all a game? Was it all in vain Was it all a shame? Do you feel the same? No matter what they say from high ground No time can mend a storyteller’s heart If there’s only one thing I wish I’d done Is to tell you how beautiful we were No matter what the stories tell us No reason why can cancel all that was And there’s only one thing I wish I’d said Lost among the dark No matter what they say from high ground No time can mend a storyteller’s heart If there’s only one thing I wish I’d done Is to tell you how beautiful we were No matter what the stories tell us No reason why can cancel all that was And there’s only one thing I wish I’d said Lost among the dark

What is your reality? Finding reasons for the longest fights Become a slave to your own sight ‘cause that’s the path to fantasy The dream of love, the star of life Delivering sadness from the night The sight of the ocean With fire within The clouds with no silver lining From the raging seas All around are rising Feel the pain of the lies being thrown to ground See the snakes are rising all around Underneath the black sky I’m the reaper of their mysteries Were I to blame Would you believe in me? Would you believe in me? Round and round, they try to slither on Even now, so casually, they’re coming Bound by lies they go! Let’s greet the vipers brought to shame With human eyes they want to stay Into the wild they find hope Standing, crying, searching for what they believe But what they believe, they dare not see The sight of the ocean With fire within The clouds with no silver lining from the raging seas All around are rising Feel the pain of the lies being thrown to ground See the snakes are rising all around Underneath the black sky I’m the reaper of their mysteries Were I to blame Would you believe in me? Would you believe in me?

You’re dancing in thunderstorms I wait and see if my clouds will part And leave the path for a new dawn All the things I had to say All the goals and the memories Trying to leave me there Dragging me through air Break me Before I stand my ground Before I let the pain erase your sight Before it’s too late Break me And pick the pieces up And turn them into dust before my eyes And make me whole again They say it will heal in time But I’m a leaf in the pouring rain Waiting for the sun All the things I wished to know All the lies and the jealousies Trying to keep me here Stranded on the earth Break me Before I stand my ground Before I let the pain erase your sight Before it’s too late Break me And pick the pieces up And turn them into dust before my eyes And make me whole again

Wake up call, it’s time to go Another duty day to do your sleazy show Check it on the mirror, everything looks fine What’s that spot under my cheek, oh God That ain’t no skin of mine A little push here, a little shove there Just a little touch of glitter, glam and any shiny stuff To make it hard for all to see the trash That hides beneath the smiley, slimy layers Of a traitorous little skunk Money’s running out, the gifts not turning up Just call your dear old friend, he’ll surely cheer you up Move it to the left, now move it to the right Move it to the place where everyone can see it bright A little smile here and a little praise there Just a little piece of heaven To remind all of your lovers what it’s like To be the doormats of your stone-cold bridled heart Welcome to the circus where you play the role of innocence Where words are just like bonbon teasers And you know how to pretend Where every day’s a little mark Of conquest for your games If love were just a fairytale At least you’d give me a happy end Lights are up, another night Another weary thank you, now exit stage right Sure I got the time to hear you out my friend But first I got to pet my dolls and kitty And dogs and men and everything else I’m sorry, did it hurt? Did I make you cry? But I thought you knew the drill by now Just fill me up with dough and cocoa cream ‘cause no one else in this world Can make me feel like you do Make a smiley face, make a happy grin Drop the childish card That ain’t milk dripping off your chin Lay a little low, now lay a little high Take it off but slowly so you’d look a little shy Yank it with a smile, yank it with a pout Yank it just so loud the neighbours know what this is all about Get off on holding on, get off on keeping in But it’s time you let him pull out Welcome to the circus where you play the role of innocence Where words are just like bonbon teasers And you know how to pretend Where every day’s a little mark Of conquest for your games If love were just a fairytale At least you’d give me a happy end Twinkle twinkle, little star Spend your life inside the tar Make the best of what you have Shouldn’t take you that much time For all the words you scream and shout You sure can use that little mouth And while all else sure seems in place I bet your heart’s not your only big open space Shake it, baby, shake it hard Shake the conscience from your heart Lick it, lick it, lick it good Just lick away the mud from all the morning wood And while at times you fake your cry It doesn’t even matter how hard you try For who’s been born with thorns inside Can’t just pretend to play the bride Welcome to the circus where you play the role of innocence Where words are just like bonbon teasers And you know how to pretend Where every day’s a little mark Of conquest for your games If love were just a fairytale At least you’d give me a happy end

Accused of regicide No time for fame and glory There is no end in sight Always dark, ever blind The princess on your lap The lackey of her heart For lust you gave your sword And traded honor for her blood Feel free to negotiate And hide within the folds The will to repudiate Her blazing eyes, your love controlled A princess and her knight A raven and her rat They dwell in dregs of night A witch and her dazed pussycat Hero... You’re a hero... Living the disease of broken men and shattered hearts Just take a breath and keep your cool And watch the scene after it starts From the grave no lies are told The spawn of hell shall raze the Earth And you’ll suck poison from her bosom Suck it deep with all your might until it’s dry Until it’s dry, until it’s dry, until it’s dry Until you die!

You hear the world goes forward That everyone’s moved on But you remain in darkness A music without sound You hear your friends are living Their blissful joys and cries But you can’t see the sun again Been raining day and night And if everything in art is cursed Or, way worse, just a game Find the light that keeps you alive And never let it out That spark that makes it worth your life Your pain and all your tears Just reach it, grab it, let it shine And guide you on your path I tried my best, to seize a falling star To brave the threads of fate To make a crystal out of hate A music out of searing pain To hide the tears of old To heal the injustice of this world I tried to break the chains of love To fight the fires of it all I could not see, the reason in plain sight The sense of wrong made right Of all the throes of love declined The words we both could hide behind If only I had been, if only I could have foreseen How rainbows come after a storm Their colors bright, from sorrow torn In sickness and in health In treachery and dread Things will never be the same Deliverance from pain Here, the lines, so blind to see what lies behind the door It can fall apart, so fast, and dark, and everything gets through through it all, through the lies and words and tapestries of old can we see the light beyond the still of dawn? I can’t take away the sin of love I can only sing the story of it all Till it burns a fire in the night Light the spark of life within your heart Break away from sorrow, rise The legend of your story you will write among the stars Shine, the path of glory lies beyond The veil of sinners in their shade You can rekindle faith in reaching for the sky A dancer in the pouring rain A jester with no words to sing or claim A promise that was broken too fast, too soon The memory won’t fade Come, we are free, we’re unbound We can give you what you want We can see, we can hear, we’re the reapers of the ordeal We are one, we are many, we’re the legion of the damned If you wish, say the word, and forever she’ll be yours If I could turn back time for real If I could tell her what I feel The wrongs I had, mistakes I made instead And every time I count the days Where every word stabs deeper in How does it feel to be rejected every way Rejected every way? Do you feel the same, when you call her name? When you cry in pain, when all words are vain When you hold your tears, when you face your fears Did you win your fame, did you last the game? Do you still believe, all was worth the shame? Did you shout her name, when you drowned in rain Do you feel the same? Light the spark of life within your heart Break away from sorrow, rise The legend of your story you will write among the stars Shine, the path of glory lies beyond The veil of sinners in their shade You can rekindle faith in reaching for the sky
