The beloved one

The Beloved One
With my back to the wall I feel the sundown, which seems to be beautiful
The truth is that I am afraid to lose the love which I believed I had found
You call me your beloved one, and don't send me a message from your journey
How can I know what a beloved one is for you if I don't ask for it
How can you know how the pain in me feels if I cannot tell you that I feel pain
With my back to the wall I feel the sundown, which seems to be beautiful
The truth is that I am afraid to lose the love which I believed I had found
You promised love and I failed to see the trapdoor
I have cared for you, I have held you, I have carried you, I have lost myself
It' s good to know that I have seen through you
I am the realist who has fallen for your naivety
Now I am standing here and stare at the door by which you disappeared
and then to all the memories moving away with you
With my back to the wall, I feel the sundown, which seems to be beautiful
The truth is that I am afraid to lose the love which I believed I had found

Bad days are good days
03:40

On bad days, it's difficult
To see the good
Go across the catwalk and fall out of your shoes
Get up, smile
Swallow your tears
Just keep walking
Remember the happy faces
Forget the sad eyes
Be embraced, comfort you
Dry your eyes
The water tastes salty
It burns
Some of them hug you out of pity
Others of mercy
And there's the malicious gloating
You can recognice them by their smile
The pleatless
On bad days, it's difficult to see the good
I look into your eyes
They don't glow
I see your smile
That is none
But I can see your heart
Which carries your blood
I can see your breath
And I'm telling you
Bad days remind us
That there are good days too

Dark Days
When they see smiling pictures of me
They think I'm happy
When I write of chaos and tears
They think I'm sad
Also for you a light will burn again
Is it dark?
How easy can it be to deceive
Show them what they want to see
And you lose
You and the others
When they think your problem isn't existential, it's not.
Who is the one who decides about existence
Me for you
You for me
Understanding can only be
Whoever experiences the same
You and the others
In Search for Attention
Do you notice those
Who should pay attention to you
Well, that's the gain
or the waste
You will be lost
Before you found yourself
You and the others
You and the others

Je suis là

Je suis là
Tu es partie, et je ne pouvais pas te retenir.
Peut-être parce que moi aussi, j'étais parti.
Je vois le passé passer à côté de moi.
Tout se que je peux faire, c'est regarder en arrière.
Mais je ne pouvais pas te retenir, tu es parti.
Tu étais un petit garçon dans un corps adulte.
Et maintenant tu es un dans les nuages.
Je suis là.
Je comprends qui nous étions, qui nous sommes.
Mes yeux sont mouillés, mon cœur s'emballe, ma gorge est lacée, mes mains tremblent.
Des mains qui me touchent.
Tu es tombé dedans, je ne pouvais pas te retenir.
Dans la recherche de l'amour, tu as trouvé la mort.
Tu avais besoin d'affection et d'attention.
Souvent, tu etais au bord de l'abîme.
Encore et encore, tu voulais sauter.
Tu as cherché le bonheur et la liberté.
Tu as trouvé la misère et l'esclavage, la chaleur et la clarté.
John Wayne est un mensonge.
Tu le savais.
Cependant, Tu n'as pas pu t'en empêcher
Tu étais un enfant dans un corps adulte
Et maintenant tu es un dans les nuages.
Je suis là.
Je comprends qui nous étions, qui nous sommes.
Rêves et histoires.
Un grain de sable scintillant qui se transforme en tempête et laisse derrière des ravages.
Une petite graine qui est plantée au mauvais endroit et devient un problème.
Les nuages sont un endroit où les morts se cachent.
Tu es parti, je ne pouvais pas te retenir.
Maintenant, je vois le chagrin en chacun de nous.
Tous les trous noirs profonds.
Je ne pouvais pas te retenir, tu es parti.
Tu étais un petit garçon dans un corps adulte.
Et maintenant tu es un dans les nuages.
Je suis là.
Je peux voir les nuages.
Te es un dans les nuages
Je suis là.
Je suis là.

You are the heat

You are the heat
You are the heat that flows through my veins.
You are the ember that makes my blood throb.
You are the fire that makes my heart beat.
I think about yesterday. To the heat that spread.
I think about today. To the glow that lights up.
I think about tomorrow. The fire will blaze.
It was yesterday when I left you for tomorrow
to find and lose me today.
A burning heart in paradise that is none.
You are the light that I breathe.
You are the water I swallow.
You are the earth that protects me.
I see the rays and I shine.
I find the waves and I float.
I long for the sand and I land.
It was yesterday when I left you for tomorrow
to find and lose me today.
A burning heart in paradise that is none.
You are the wine that flatters my mouth.
You are the bread that caresses my stomach.
You are the salt that plays with my senses.
I smell the color that flows into my throat.
I taste the sound of my heart warms.
I feel the heat that makes me quake.
It was yesterday when I left you for tomorrow
to find and lose me today.
A burning heart in paradise that is none.
You are the sand that runs through my fingers.
You are the thorn that stings my foot.
You are the ray that burns my skin.
I realize the tickle and I smile.
I notice the stitch and I cry.
I recognize the warmth and I live.
It was yesterday when I left you for tomorrow
to find and lose me today.
A burning heart in paradise that is none.
You are the heat that flows through my veins.
You are the ember that makes my blood throb.
You are the fire that makes my heart beat.
A burning heart in paradise that is none.

The Way To Nirvana
A long time ago, you disappeared
Now you've reappeared
I don't want to know where you were
You're not who you were anymore
Completely transformed
I'm not who I was anymore
Even today, we would not stand a chance
We looked into each other's eyes
And we didn't know
That we are bad liars
After the rain, the worm comes crawling out of its hole
He writhes, he fights back, he saves himself
While you were on your way to Nirvana
Even today we wouldn't stand a chance
We looked into each other's eyes
And we didn't know
That we are bad liars
I was brave and scared
Happy and sad, loud and quiet
Still I am. I mean alive
You're not who you were anymore
Even today, we wouldn't stand a chance
We looked into each other's eyes
And we didn't know
That we are bad liars

The raven, a wise wanderer
Who puts lost people on the right track
The universe is wide
The sun awakens life
The moon shows the way
The stars light it up
Birds fly in the sky
A few leave feathers
Some can't find their way home
The oak stands strong, consistent and ready for battle
The moon shows it the way
The stars are shining on it
The oak survives every storm
The freedom-loving raven
seek the way wisely
The one the moon shows him
by starlight
