There's No Escape
It's such an indistinct feeling
bright flames are burning deep underneath
and as they crawl up to the ceiling
I feel them pouring right into me
We are human, so fragile and clueless
And maybe none of us chose this life
or then gets stranded in no man's land
Watch that steady stream,
it's such a curious scene
Yet some day you may see it through
We are human, obsess with useless things, get deluded
And if you wanted to escape,
you will see that there's no way out
You gotta stick to the plan
or you'll get overrun
So hard to stand your ground
No chance to turn our eyes away
You can not just sit this one out
But if you dig deep through this ragged surface,
you soon will find nothing's just as it seems
We are human, insatiable and cruel
And you're just one more time around
No chance to turn your eyes away
You better stick to their dirty plan
or you'll get overrun
So hard to stand your ground now
and then there's no one out there
who would just stop all this madness
Wake Them Up
Think they're safe and sound
by the way they drag themselves around
Seems that all gods children just can't relate
It's such a pity to me
how much they'll miss in this life
if they won't start to listen to what they really feel
Hey don't wake them up,
when they prefer to sleep all their life's away
and it's all they got,
make sure the doors are shut
Who sleeps cannot be no sinner
I know y'all won't do no wrong
but then it's time to arise
Hey don't wake them up,
when they prefer to sleep all their life's away
and it's all they got,
please never give them up
And when you roam through these filthy streets,
look at every odd face that you meet
with all the scars that they wear on their minds
and all the hopes that they'd scrapped
While getting stuck on some part of their odyssey,
it just occured to me that all this suffering could end
Hey don't wake them up
when they prefer to sleep all their life's away
and it's all fucked up,
yet so hard to break out
Hey, go wake them up!
Luz e Sombra
Deep inside of you,
there's a void you can't break through
Before the world comes falling in,
gotta find another way
and if you really want to know,
you'll find the truth
One Endless Summer
I've wasted away so many precious days
while looking at parts of my old life,
then it all just turns into a blur
All the reasoning done with myself
and the feelings I'd trapped on my inside
have lead to this endless summer,
here by your side
Fading away,
in these hungry flames of our youth
The spirit will always remain,
so don't you cry
Like after every hard rain, shines the sun,
yes even after death, life goes on
You'll see that some of these startling things
seem to depend on what you have learned
And don't you chase 'em away,
both demons and angels are a part of truth,
as you will see that golden age arise
We're only trapped in sweet forever babe
Leaving Samsara
Though we weren't born to touch the sky, well we did
and all the trails that we've left behind still tell our tale
Just by following a call from inside,
we climbed a mountain, stood against the rain
with our raging hearts
These wounds must heal and all the pain I feel
The fussing and useless discussing will come to an end
We fell victim for our own foolish pride,
got lost in delusion and fear
After all you'll see that I am still here
By myself, I'm here in these strange new world,
but I still cling to this voice,
that tells me now it's not what I thought,
tells me how I'm not made of gold
Was looking for peace, or finally some freedom,
the same as you,
hoping for something to enlighten me
or just sets me free
Alone, I'm staring at the face of the world
in all its beauty and all its disgust,
with all the anger, that is still inside of me
And then the rain, is getting stronger every day,
while none of all this is real
The sooner I come to realize,
will drive my demons away
Sometimes I linger in all the memories,
that seem like a fever dream
At times I rather push them away, much farther away
But they've become such an undeniable part of me
and I know that it wasn't all just in vain
And no, I can not deny,
insight and guilt transcend me
when we'll meet, just one more time
Did you enjoy the silence?
Since the nerve-wrecking fights and the tensions are gone
You still don't know if it was for glory, or self-deceit
I feel you staring at me with a frown,
while that old relentless clock is marching on
You already knew I gotta keep pushing further
and follow my calling, and maybe break through
Love In Progress
In the beginning it's all sorcery,
our names written in cloudless skies,
a love so untouched, and so pure,
but that's just half the truth -
cause when you'll awake,
with every nervous breath you take,
dark memories come crashing in
Oh babe it ain't over,
we both just came a little further,
cause out back home there is no one,
to teach about our own truth
But anyway,
I didn't come here just to make you sad
I know the rain
will wash all your sorrows away
So let him cleanse your soul now,
come let us float away
No babe it ain't over,
we both are just a little older
and out back there is really no one,
to understand me like you do
You didn't pick the wrong one
Let's wait until we both are sober
Inflamed like this we'll never see
of what we've stumbled into
Oh babe it ain't over,
we both just came a little further now,
cause out back home there is no one,
to teach about our own truth
Learning To Live, And Live Again
Oh, it's just another lazy afternoon,
but i'm ready to hear - the next lesson
And while everything's been shut down,
I've been learning to live, and live again
with all these people so insincere
Oh well I guess they're still slumbering,
mending their pain
This whole wide world is still in such a mess
I'm so glad for the voices of reason,
rising above all the same old nothing
We gotta search for the truth in our hearts,
to find the key for love and trust,
as it's time for these to reign
Yeah sometimes it may drag you down,
but then it's just such a waste of time,
waiting for everyone else to change their minds
There's many ways to go through this short life
To find a way out of all this distress,
we'll better listen again - to our own inner voices
