You Can't Hold The Earth

With eyes wide open
I'm sleepwalking through
Fields of a spotless mind
Shattered lights are pouring out
Flooding these virgin grounds
With my heart wide open
I'm sleepwalking through
Fields of an infant mind
Insensate love is pouring out
Flooding these fertile grounds
The blank mind's being baptized in ancient waters
Impure waves arise underneath this sleeping skin
Inspire the elastic self to copy self-defeating motions
My liquid soul is sour and
Fouls this dawning dream
I shed a thousand lives
But my soul keeps searching
A skin to feel again
A mind to recognize itself
I am sleepwalking through
An infinite sequence
Of recurring dreams
That are shifting shape
Changing skin
But all end the same
Save my eternal soul
It's worn out, disfigured and deformed
Break the cycle of rebirth
With a soul that's broken
I am sleepwalking through
Endless layers of waking dreams
Life is nothing but a dream
My liquid soul is pouring in
Infusing the mind and thought
To drown me in my former selves
Life is nothing but a dream
My sour soul is pouring in
Infecting the mind and thought
To remind me of all the things I've lost
It's holding every life I've given up
I shed a thousand lives
But my soul keeps searching
A skin to feel again
A mind to recognize itself
I am sleepwalking through
An infinite sequence
Of recurring dreams
That are shifting shape
Changing skin
But all end the same
Save my eternal soul
It's worn out, disfigured and deformed
Break the cycle of rebirth
I shed a thousand lives
But my soul keeps searching
A skin to feel again
A mind to recognize itself
I shed a thousand lives
But my soul keeps searching
A skin to feel again
A mind to recognize itself
I am sleepwalking through
An infinite sequence
Of recurring dreams
That are shifting shape
Changing skin
But all end the same
Save my eternal soul
It's worn out, disfigured and deformed
Break the cycle of rebirth

Unlink Us All
04:58
|
|||
|
We are losing all connections
We are losing
I've never been so far away
I've never been so close
To the edge
There's a dream beyond the machine
I cut its wires
That link my soul and mind
To the cloud
Can't you feel that
We are losing all connections
To ourselves
To the self
To each other
Bare the self
Unfold the self
See the self
We are losing all connections
To ourselves
To the self
Look at each other
We are losing all connections
We are
Losing all connections
Choose life beyond living wired to a
Machine
To unlink us all
From the cloud
I've never been so crystal clear
I'm only one step away
From the edge
I switch my system off
I cut these wires
That taint my soul and mind
I am out
Can't you feel that
We are losing all connections
To ourselves
To the self
To each other
Bare the self
Unfold the self
See the self
We are losing all connections
To ourselves
To the self
Look at each other
We are losing all connections
We are losing all connections to ourselves 3x
Choose life beyond living wired to a
Machine
To unlink the soul and mind
From the cloud
Can't you feel that
We are
Losing all connections
Choose life beyond living wired to a
Machine
To unlink us all
From the cloud

I Don't Belong Here
05:37
|
|||
|
I don't feel anything any more
I'm not afraid of this dark
Holding me for so long
Each time your words are tearing me apart
I will fix what's left of me
I reinvent myself
And my mind is counting reasons why I'm ok
Well, I'm fine
I’m changing
Rearranging myself
When I’m worn out
You will break me
To see me
See me naked
Again
You are telling me that I don't belong here
You are telling me that I don’t fit in this place
I don't feel anything at all
I'm not afraid of this place
Holding me for so long
Each time your eyes are tearing me apart
I will fix what's left of me
I repeat it endlessly
My mind is counting reasons why I'm ok
Well, that’s fine
I’m changing
Rearranging myself
When I’m worn out
You will break me
To see me naked
Again
You are telling me that I don't belong here
You are telling me that I don’t fit in this place
I don't care who I am
As long as I don't know who I am
You don't know who I am?
I'm your reflection
I don't care who you are
Just a reflection
Telling me that I don't belong here
You are telling me that I don’t fit in this place

Catching Shadows
03:55
|
|||
|
Every day feels the same
I’m waiting for my meds
To take my breath away
Running through my veins
I stop breathing
And my heart stops beating for a while
I’m staring at the ceiling
Following my shadows
I’m trying to catch them
But I can’t reach them
Hey you
Wrap me up in chains and
Pull me up to the ceiling
Hey wrap your
Hands around my neck
Till time stands still and everything’s quiet
Let’s play choking games
Take my breath away
You’re the end of every day
I’m choking anyway
On every breath I take
You’re the end of every day
Every day feels the same
Still there’s something
Trying to breathe life into me
But I’m choking on every breath I take
So I stop breathing
To let this heart rest for a while
I’m staring at the ceiling
Following my shadows
I’m trying to catch them
But I can’t reach them
Take my breath away
You’re the end of every day
I’m choking anyway
On every breath I take
I’m choking anyway
On every breath I take
Hey you
Wrap me up in chains and
Pull me up to the ceiling
Hey wrap your
Hands around my neck
Till time stands still and everything’s quiet
Let’s play choking games
Take my breath away
You’re the end of every day
I’m choking anyway
On every breath I take
You’re the end of every day

The Last Shard
04:35
|
|||
|
I'm standing at the edge of the world
Where the sky’s touching ground
I’m surrendering
To the gravity
Of a life alone beyond unknown
I’m leaving behind fires consuming the past
My heart’s feeding flames
Their detergent lights
Flooding the sky
Above this place
I used to call home
I ripped my heart out to break
I’ve left so many pieces on my ways
One last shard I keep for myself
I ripped my heart out to break
May every piece serve its purpose very well
But one last shard I keep for myself
Every shard
Of my broken heart
May be a spark
For a healing flame
Consuming the past
To set your hearts on fire again
One last shard
I keep for myself
To light my way
To ignite myself
To save myself
Now I’m standing at the edge of the world
Now it’s time to let go
I step into dark with this shard of my heart
Forgiveness leads me through an open door
I ripped my heart out to break
I’ve left so many pieces on my ways
One last shard I keep for myself
I ripped my heart out to break
May every piece serve its purpose very well
But one last shard I keep for myself
The last shard of
My broken heart
May be the spark
For a flame
To set myself on fire
I’m so glad that
I've come this far
And forgiveness leads me through
an open door
I leave
I fade
Into silence
I leave
I fade
Into silence

Heavy Skin
04:09
|
|||
|
You wrap me in this weak existence
Drag me underneath its heavy skin
Fetter me to this life and its transience
Choose me to walk between (among) light and darkness
Throw me into this violent place
Set the scenery and document the explosion
My bichrome eyes
Evolve from a shifting sky
Light and dark encase the ocean
A dissonant sphere
Merges my contrary poles
Tension sets the core in motion
I'm vibrating underneath this fading skin
The saddest place to be
In death I'll find relief
Pull it out from inside
Your love divides the earth
I'm drowning under a bipolar sky
I see the same truth through disparate eyes
I see darkness 'n light at the same time
Please
Let me let go of this life
I break in two
Please
Pull me out from inside
Pass me through this bipolar sky
You recognize yourself in me
I'm your creation
Tear me apart to build me up in your image again
Live, die, repeat
(Life würde besser klingen... da wär's aber Life Death Repeat... ich schwanke)
My disparate eyes
Shape one truth out of all I see
And its reflection
Malevolent cells
Sphere my contrary poles
Tension (Gravity) sets the core in motion
I'm vibrating underneath this elusive skin
The saddest place to be
In death I'll find relief
Pull it out from inside
Your love divides the earth
I'm drowning under a bipolar sky
I see the same truth through disparate eyes
See darkness 'n light at the same time
Please
Let me let go of this life
I break in two
Please
Pull me out from inside
Pass me through this bipolar fire
Recognize yourself in me
I'm your creation
Tear me apart to build me up in your image again
Live, die, repeat

Into The Void
04:17
|
|||
|
I am floating in silence
No other place I'd rather be
I am transcending my body
I am weightless and without fear
I am exposing
My essence
And I'm fading into the void
There's no sound
No dissonance
Nothingness
Embraces me
I will leave this shell
I'm falling straight into your arms again
Wash it all away
I'm so glad that you will let me in
Again
I'm drifting into darkness
No other place I'd rather be
I am transcending my perception
I will find relief beyond myself
I bear traces
Of a thousand lives
Now I am fading into the void
I'm leaving this
Worn out
Body
Holding me
I will leave this shell
I am falling straight into your arms again
Wash it all away
I'm so glad that you will let me in
Again
I will leave this shell
Yeah
Wash it all away
Yeah
I am sinking into unknown
No other place I'd rather be
I'm transcending time and distance
Serenity is coming over me
I am consumed by
Emptiness
I'm fading into the void
Shattered into
A thousand pieces
Sprinkled onto
A thousand lives
I will leave this shell
I am falling straight into your arms again
Wash it all away
I'm so glad that you will let me in
Again
Shattered into a thousand pieces
Sprinkled onto a thousand lives
I'm shattered into a thousand pieces
Fading into the void
I bear traces of a thousand lives
I'm fading into the void
I will leave this shell
I am falling straight into your arms again
Wash it all away
I'm so glad that you will let me in
Again
I will leave this shell
I am falling straight into your arms again
Wash it all away
I'm so glad that you will let me in
Again

The Ocean
06:31
|
|||
|
I go into the ocean
The waves are crashing down
I go into the ocean
The waves will cleanse the flesh away
I go into the ocean
Now it's time for me to leave
I'm going down to the ground
And drown this body in the sea
I wanna leave
This body holding me
Unfold me
My essence can be free
Cleansing
Healing
I will find relief
The waves will break
This worn out case I'm in
Only death can be cure for life
I will find relief
The waves will cleanse
This worn out flesh away
The moment I die, I feel alive
Divide my soul from body
Why you've chained me to this shell?
I give it to the ocean
The waves will cleanse the flesh away
Divide my soul from spirit
I'm not your son wearing your skin
I'm going down into the deep
And drown your image in the sea
I wanna leave
This body holding me
Unfold me
My essence can be free
Cleansing
Healing
I will find relief
The waves will break
This worn out case I'm in
Only death can be the cure for life
I will find relief
The waves will cleanse
This worn out flesh away
The moment I die, I feel alive
Cleansing
Healing
I'm a driven broken mind
Traveling from host to host
Shifting shape
Changing skin
I wear the spirit like a mask
A shield to veil the truth
Protecting me
Smothering me
Divide my soul from body
I choose eternity
Unfold me
Release me
Expose the self
My soul so weak and restless
The waves will break
This worn out case I'm in
I will find relief
The waves will break
This worn out case I'm in
Only death can be the cure for life
I will find relief
The waves will cleanse
This worn out flesh from me
The moment I die, I feel alive

The Liquid Soul

With eyes wide open
I'm sleepwalking through
Fields of a spotless mind
Shattered lights are pouring out
Flooding these virgin grounds
With my heart wide open
I'm sleepwalking through
Fields of an infant mind
Insensate love is pouring out
Flooding these fertile grounds
The blank mind's being baptized in ancient waters
Impure waves arise underneath this sleeping skin
Inspire the elastic self to copy self-defeating motions
My liquid soul is sour and
Fouls this dawning dream
I shed a thousand lives
But my soul keeps searching
A skin to feel again
A mind to recognize itself
I am sleepwalking through
An infinite sequence
Of recurring dreams
That are shifting shape
Changing skin
But all end the same
Save my eternal soul
It's worn out, disfigured and deformed
Break the cycle of rebirth
With a soul that's broken
I am sleepwalking through
Endless layers of waking dreams
Life is nothing but a dream
My liquid soul is pouring in
Infusing the mind and thought
To drown me in my former selves
Life is nothing but a dream
My sour soul is pouring in
Infecting the mind and thought
To remind me of all the things I've lost
It's holding every life I've given up
I shed a thousand lives
But my soul keeps searching

Break the cycle of rebirth
I shed a thousand lives
But my soul keeps searching
A skin to feel again
A mind to recognize itself
I shed a thousand lives
But my soul keeps searching
A skin to feel again
A mind to recognize itself
I am sleepwalking through
An infinite sequence
Of recurring dreams
That are shifting shape
Changing skin
But all end the same
Save my eternal soul
It's worn out, disfigured and deformed
Break the cycle of rebirth
