Tentacles engulfing you, the chosen one
the cocoon of youth, let you become a true person
we applaud congratulations
farewell logical frustration
if you feel sick just play along
Your suffering fuels the greatest songs
You're alive, remember, you're alive
Even though everyone else will die
You will keep going, live forever
happily for ever and after
You're alive, remember, you're alive
But you're running out of time
Everyone get's older
but you're never ever getting colder
Aren't you really happy?
With theese feet in your mouth?
Admit that you need this
without it you can't tell wether or not it's decent
You came back for our entertainment
So let us suck you dry and statisfy our vampyrism
We think it's time you surrender
Con-artist extraordinaire
Isolated in perfection
Voyeristic statisfaction
You're alive, remember, you're alive
Because you can not die
All your scars are a sweet sight
Memories of derailed suicides
You're alive, we're keeping you alive
We will not let you die
You're allowed to cry and whimper
Fall into our arms and whisper:
"Thank you for doing all of this
For everything
Gauge out my eyes, please, help yourself
I wanted this and I craved this
Back into the womb you useless fetus
I asked for this and I deserve this"
It is you VS the World
Here you go my darling
just a million more days to go
don't be afraid
you have to do all of this by yourself
You're alive, remember, you're alive
Because you can not die
All your scars are a sweet sight
Memories of derailed suicides
You're alive, we're keeping you alive
We will not let you die
You're allowed to cry and whimper
and finally:
surrender yourself to us

Sperma

Ich habe gesehen was man nicht sehen kann
Ich hab verstanden was man nicht verstehen kann
Isolation, Tagtraum, bunter Lichterschein
In mir drinnen, doch extern, aber endlich mein
Ich habe gehört was man nicht hören kann
Ich habe gespürt was man nicht spüren kann
Als ich dich begriff konnte ich den Himmel sehen
Die Zeit stand auf ewig still und konnte doch vergehen
Öffne dich noch einmal, saug mich aus
nehme die Bilder von meinen Innereien, reiß sie raus
Reduziere mich noch mehr
Reduziere mich so sehr
Dass ich ein Gespenst werd'
in einen Sarkophag eingesperrt
Du gibst mir was ich brauch
doch die Spermien erhängen sich in deinem Bauch
Unvollkommen
Gekommen
Wenn ich zwischen deinen Fingern kleb
Wenn du blasser bist als der Tod der in dir lebt

Death to Ravers

Is this the dream you wanted to fulfill?
are these the people who make you feel so special?
Do you want eyes starring back at you from your TV?
Do you want eyes which you can never see?
Do you burn through your weight coz you think of me as a friend?
Do you expect me to take you now and reach for your hand?
Am I only here to get your pink fix done?
Or are we going to have so much more fun? So much more fun?
Death to Ravers
Do you realy believe your almight god has a plan?
Do you really believe once you're dead, he'll think about you again?
Do really believe your prayers will be answered when you go down to your knees?
Do you really believe your new god shouldn't be portrayed by me?
Pull the ropes tighter, give me a taste of the afterlife
your precious body is something I might not survive
Synthetic rebellion invading your bloodstream
superficial refusal is just praising the machine
the ice is getting thinner, so be careful where you stand
Me, I'll remain post-ironic till the very end
They know what you're craving and they know what need
I know it tastes like victory but sadly it's defeat
So pull the ropes tighter, give me a taste of the afterlife
your precious body is something I might not survive

Lovesong

I've been awake for so long
I don't know where I am
But my eyes are still
grey or blue
Im going over this
until I can make some sense of it
And here I am
just watching you
From above
Seeing you from above
When you go to sleep
take a moment to remember me
my form is fading
to everywhere
And as you awake in the morning
rub me out of your eyes
after all
I'm your beloved nightmare
from above
seeing you from above
from above
your grief grows from love
All the things I've ever said
echoing inside your head
All the things I've ever done
nothing is what they become

Für Katharina

She is beautiful
The faintest hint
Of a perfect soul
She seems excellent
Death defyer
with painted hands
When I see her
I feel weightless

Requiem

I've kept hoping and
I've kept holding on and
I've kept believing and
I've kept moving on and
I've kept pushing forward and
I've kept working hard and
I've come to realize
I'm chasing an empty horizon
Your wrath is pathetic
Eyelashes blink up greater hurricanes
Your wrath is pathetic
You've just lost weight again
Once one of the brightest shining stars
Now barely hanging by a thread
asking if you'll escape the tomb inside your head
Eyelashes so weak, eyelashes so weak
I struggle to chew
my jaw is feeling weaker and weaker
perhaps it's just falling apart
I struggle to swallow
my throat is always dry
perhaps it's better to ignore it
And when I turn around and look where I've been before
I see I've finally reached the great beyond
And with all my being - lousy fiftysix kilogram
I try to grasp my form but I've lost weight again
As I lay down at night I don't know for what I yearn
For a cruel release or something new to learn
I've come to accept I am fading
I am post-blue
It hurts to say but
some dreams just don't come true

The Tyrant

I can see that you are waiting for my time to shine
But I can't do this by myself
Praising idols I can relate to
I don't believe you think all of this should be mine
All the dreams I had over the years
are just as empty as your promisses
and I can't drag you around any longer
But if I cut you loose, I'll be alone with all my fears
I'm scared
I'm scared to the bone
Of becoming the one who'll punish me
of becoming the monster only I can't see
of becoming someone who's just not me
I can't wait until it's our time to shine
When I've finally found myself
And we finally see eye to eye
But I don't believe all of this suffering should just be mine
I think I've lost weight again
Am I doing this for me?
Or someone else?
I can't do it alone
I could really use your help
