Imagine a sand beach Imagine yourself as one small grain Among millions like you Imagine an ocean Infinite, endlessly deep Imagine yourself as one small grain No goals, no dreams, no hope I'm just indifferent and tired My mother said that as a child I was a little shy but joyful I pointed cities from the world map and said that there we must go Nowadays I don’t even want to get out from the front door It is the world that's bad, not me - it made me like this Imagine yourself like me puny, useless, worthless, garbage with only dark thoughts in your head Imagine yourself without friends A secret, no-one to tell Imagine dreaming of murder with no consequences I used to love but now she's gone I used to hate but I don't know how to anymore I used to get drunk but it doesn't make me feel any different anymore I used to dream but today I decided to stop that too

Outside my home there's bright June like the longest embrace On my best days I open the curtains wide for the shine But I wait the nightfall to come before I exit Heart starts to throb Breath is cutting I promise myself I won't do this again On the streets My lungs are burning I wish this agony would grow too strong for me Safe but still oppressive It´s calm here only in my dreams I lay down, there's a peace I am searching, you offer me a bit Here - I draw A pic of you - We kiss Here - Nothing evil can reach - us It hurts so much to wake up It hurts so much Day after day I feed the same lies to myself I decide these were the last ones Everything I own I wreck it all Chairs to the wall, diplomas to the fire All of my money to whores City answers to call of fire For once they obey, for once they obey me "Live as if this was the last day of your life" I know what it means I know what it means

One of You 03:00
Never trust a man They are wicked and evil They only think about themselves Once I had some faith pure and innocent But I was only a child then And a child learns by falling by getting hurt If one of you even once would've come and said "Hey, this ain't ok" It would've helped And if one of you even once would've come and said "Hey, you're one of us" It would've saved my life I learned I have flaws I heard it so many times But I was only a child then And a child believes in what he hears for years and years

The flowers on the meadow like a blanket over the ground Fairies descend on the blooms, into hiding they lay down The sun sets, shadows cast The meadow whispers friendly words to me, swings us to sleep Sleep soundly beauties Let bright dreams compass thee Beauties, deeply The whole world sleeps with thee You are the ones who fly to light up the stars You are the ones who fly to light up the stars The sun wakes up to greet the meadow with warmest rays Fairies fly around to give the flowers a kiss of good day Colors brighten, shapes clear up Where's your hiding place, fairies? Wait for me It came with the sunrise, the cold It came with the wind, the evil I don´t remember how long I have been here I hold breath cold and wet and afraid And keep on my escape

Thorn in my heart has made me overly numb I´m not resentful No more broken I feel well When I think the times passed now they don´t make me that sad Sometimes things just go the way they’re meant to go, meant to go Earth orbits the sun We're here on our footholds What is the weight of a blink of an eye? Eternal universe We're here with our woes What is the weight of a blink of an eye? I lay myself to float in silent waters I get purified I get enlightened And all the mourning in the past turns to be just fading haze above the ocean As a drop of the sea I search the starchart Ageless is this sea But my time here is out I turn into steam I´m sorry mother and father you´re not the ones to blame Though I never became anything don´t feel guilt for this It is just far too easy to cover your eyes in front of this world Far too easy to leave - when nothing but nothingness awaits
