INTRO
For all the souls, consumed by bitterness, I have this: You don't need to stand alone!
Before you're ready and able to fix the others,
you first need to fix yourself!
VISIONS OF ALICE D.
I watch the stars melt.
They crumble like snowflakes.
Witnessing the rising sun,
all my thoughts are one.
I am the devil himself,
shaping
the face of the earth
into the most beautiful scourge.
I decide
what's wrong and what's right
tonight.
Foreign starships enlighten my sight.
There is something strange in here;
there is something strange in here, but
I don't give a flying fuck about it!
The
colors on the floor tell me their greatest tales.
Fluently they creep,
corrupting every ounce of me. I let
go and break free. My mind picks up the pace.
Something shatters peace.
I'm losing ground below my
feet.
It ties my throat,
my heart begins to race.
What have I become?
I'm not the only one.
I am the consequence of a wasted life.
I am the pure light.
I am the avalanche
and my avalanche of light will prevail.
At least I hope.
At least I hope.
What have I become?
I can feel my bones fall apart.
This feeling creeps me out,
laying reason to rest.
The walls are closing in.

THE SUM OF MY FEARS
From the deepest bottom of my
heart:
I miss you!
Progression was the only form
of change you were willing to take.
Outnumbered, still not broken,
modest, but not unspoken,
standing bravely,
bravely by my side.
I can't deny.
You accept, that I am just the sum of my fears.
Forget everything
that you've ever learned and
shine brighter than the
(stars) Shine brighter than the brightest stars!
(peak) I believe in you, you can reach the peak,
Reach the peak!
In the name of all the ones
you fought for:
Don't let us down again!
You left a hole here.
Never afraid of hard decisions,
no one even noticed.
Forever close to losing yourself;
where have you
gone?
I have to learn to let go
or soon I will collapse, tired.
Infinite sorrows dragged me through
the insanity of life.
I'll lose everything I have
one by one.
Catharsis could always be
considered our final aim.
You taught me to achieve it
I have to escape my
downfall.
You accept, that I was just the sum of my fears.
(stars) Shine brighter than the brightest stars!
(peak) I believe in you, you can reach the peak,
Reach the peak!
In the name of all the ones
you fought for:
Don't let us down again!
You left a hole here.
Never afraid of hard decisions,
no one even noticed.
Forever close to losing yourself;
where have you gone?
You accept, that we all were the sum of our fears,
just the sum of our fears.

SURVIVAL OF THE SICKEST
Your total ignorance will soon conceal your fate.
Blinded by your selfishness you underestimate,
that I'm the antithesis to your corruption.
I am the antagonist to you all giving up.
Giving up.
All you ever did,
will soon be rendered
worthless!
I am the solution for all your
problems.
Trapped under an iceberg of stagnation.
How can you dare to watch me?
Dare to watch me
vanish,
slowly?
Can't you hear me?
Can't you hear me
screaming?
I fade away.
Away.
Behold!
I cannot even list all your flaws.
I cannot even list all your flaws.
You obey
so called, fucking planless leaders.
No resistance!
This disguise of perfection; you need a mind correction!
It's in your lies, that I must suffer
through
your hands.
Your masquerade is a shameless
try to ignore seizures,
When will you finally
realize that you have cut these
wounds.
It's some kind of appealing,
to watch you ceasing being,
to watch you slowly bleeding,
'til there's nothing left of you.
How can you dare to watch me?
Dare to watch me
vanish
slowly?
Can't you hear me?
Can't you hear me
screaming?
I fade away.
Away.

INTERLUDE
May I speak of life, when my days consist of staring at the world beneath the dirty windows?
Imprisoned in a numb shell my restless mind is condemned to exist in this shallow sphere.
To the man in the mirror I obsessively preach change, not brave enough to even whisper it out to the world.
Mumbling noble plans and sitting in my cold chair, I silently observe all the things a coward hates.
I saw a cloud passing by today. After the slightest of moments it was up and away.
Although I'm forced to rest deep down under the ocean with the tides crashing over my head,
this moment has been by far the most beautiful I've witnessed, yet,
which sends a frightening, stabbing shiver down my spine instead.
I have been wasting my whole life.
I keep on drinking and pushing everything truly affecting me aside.
Not a single mistake I've carried with me
can now expect mercy from the judgement of truth.
If all of us could just take
another perspective,
we would have a much clearer vision
of ourselves, for the blink of an eye.
As I watch myself
through distant eyes
I can finally see me,
for the first time.

PASSION
Even the bleakest
grain of dust won't withstand
the claws of time,
cutting trenches
into the things we love,
the things, that may matter to
us.
To the point, where
everything
loses its
worth.
Like feathers we just slow
down the inevitable.
We sell ourselves
to keep our head up and grasp some
air. But
soon there won't be any lungs left to
breathe in
this false life, paid with our souls.
Colorless, heartless, we slip away.
We have nothing to hold onto.
How can we stand on our own,
if there's nothing nearby,
preventing us from drowning
in desperation?
My light turns on!
Even the dullest grey
can't restrain me from shouting: I've found myself!
This is my mission!
I've found my passion!
I don't need a lesson on how to be
someone I never wanted to be!
[Never wanted to be!]
Even if I'm broken
I still have this,
I still have this.
I don't share the values,
forcing me to question myself.
They often managed to push me
down again.
It took me way too long
to understand,
that I have a safe haven,
a last refuge, in this.
Music proved to me that there is a heart,
somewhere out in this world,
to fix mine, when it was devastated
and unable to beat on. I gave in
and allowed it to be the hand
lifting me up from the hole of absolute darkness
I had thrown myself into.
It was my last match in the longest night,
My shield in the toughest fights,
and when I was wounded again, my crutch to bring me up to new heights.
My guiding lantern to lead me out of the mist.
(I still have this.)
So I'm prepared for a second session.
I can now take the abrasion.
And if I come under pressure on a certain occasion,
I can say,
I already had my redemption.
Working on becoming an ideal
in a cold world that consists of nothing but steel.
Selfless I'll mend the lost
Because Even if I'm
broken
I have this.
I still have this.
