The Act

So listen up for here truth lies
The only voice you all despise
Is breaking through the silence
This land of whispers pays my demise
Embrace the truth or tell some lies
Well this is how this curtain parts
When the hall is empty I'm not afraid
But the words have left me cause you stayed
So light up this hall of dreads
And wake up the clown he dreamed his lies
Give him paint but hide his knive
He's got a life full of expectations
So what will lead us now?
My heart or my ignorant mind?
When everybody's waiting FOR
The Act of the One
While the curtains are drawn
I keep on turning black
While no one's calling back
I keep on turning black
It's all the same old mess
Forever lost indeed
Forever killing needs
No sight, no hope, ah fuck it
(get out of here)
For this is where the truth lies
The one you all despise
Was yelling at the prison guard far too long
Picking up the diamonds here
I was never meant to fear
This train is rolling too fast
But station for station it lasts
Shovel all the coal inside
Til you burn your heart, it died
So I'll go astray for some time
But it just leads me to my crime
I've laid all the tracks in front
So I can be the one they want
This ship is sinking so fast
I'll never reach the top of my mast
I dive for diamonds here
I was never meant to fear
I'm disloyal a bad sin
'til I know I'm not thin
All Hail to the one doomed to fall
All Hail to the one who'll breakdown
All Hail to the one doomed to fall
All Hail to the one who'll breakdown
All Hail to the one doomed to fall
All Hail to the one who'll breakdown
The beast will never be tamed
After all the hours we've spent
It's always coming back
And shake your clean shaved neck
It's always coming back
It's all the same old mess

Let me spark through the dark while I'm still a runner
While I fade I create what you call my silence
Mental block I'm a hawk let it all be wasted
Well I'm not dumb just a lamp that needs to be lighten
(Looping, my thoughts I'm looping)
I cannot be around you anymore
(My thoughts are looping my thoughts again)
I can't be there no more
Melt my crown I'm not found
To chase my soul to chase a dreamer
Pretend I've never been around, never
And I never will be found, never
It's halfway gold where I belong to
And I can't pretend
So let it bloom in the fume which our presence creates
(ohhhh)
And hang me low for the crowd for I'm a fucking sinner
(ohhhh)
Well I pretend and pretend that I know what I am but
I'm trembling all the time (ohhh)
Cause it's a shock when you block all the thoughts that might be
Cause it's just (ohhh)
Halfway gold where I belong to
And I can't pretend
It's halfway gold where I belong to
And I can't pretend

Briseis

I've drawn a picture of myself
A single pin keeps it over my head
Its colours mask the man behind
Its strong affections all combined
But when I take it down it will
Crawl back tomorrow for my sins
So pour the scotch for I am down
Let's take this glass and show them how
I've won some medals still I'm a child
You'll realise it's a useless fight
So I come back to the place I've grown
And come back to all memories of home
I'm insecure but I want to leave
But there's this picture of a gruesome me
Ohhhhh stràccialo accoltèllalo brùcia questo pensièro
I seek the hearts that I have crushed
All the desicions which have given you luck
I seek the times when I didn't tell
For some love will be left to sell
Ohhhhh stràccialo accoltèllalo brùcia questo pensièro
I'm just a child don't show me how
I just want to figure it out by myself
Hold your horses they're not ready
Feel the earthquake we're not steady
Lost Forever
I'm a puzzle for my mind
I'm so scared of what's to find
Let me down, to the ground

I lie a lot in the times I roam
I try to hide that we'll never reach rome
We stagnate so get that rope
And I'll try to jump that foreign boat
Who would climb a pyramid?
With an angle that slips your feet
For you will tumble on this desert soil
Where nothing grows it only boils
Well I'm just waiting, I'm just waiting for you
I write a lot in the times I roam
But nothing fits so take me home
Unscrew my head it's common waste
With a hint of this bitter aftertaste
So it goes, some won't succeed in it
Ever felt the absolute ceiling?
We've been up, We've been down, so good
Otherwise we'd never found the truth
Well I'm Insane man, I'm insane man for good
I'll hide my fucking compass
Cause my needle's always downwards
Dumb luck it's done
Art can never be forced

Your teeth they shine towards me
In need for another talk
While there's noise around us
You know my voice isn't loud
There's always someone to write to
But often they won't reply
But still you're always searching
Fool, you never try
So fii, alles zerbricht vor dir
Without trying at all
So keep deleting the numbers
They will always haunt your nights
Still a dagger before you
With the handle towards my side
If you want the truth for certain
I find myself in you each days
But this isn't what I wanna see
I'm leaving this cause no one stays
It's halfway cold where I belong to
I'm halfway cold

Gridlock

Thief of clouded minds help me through
I've read a library but couldn't get a clue
Take my confirmation and I'll take the pain
Then change from close relation to never meet again
It's act one again well deja vu?
It's like hating sport but watch the show
So scream at tv screens to feel not ignored
Well Dogs will sniff my shit I'll spread it out
I'll take a deep breath and repress the lonely crown
But you'll choose silence I'll ask you why?
If I throw you into fire will you come back this time?
Well take your hammer I'll choose a pen
When you hurt my body I'll hurt your goddamned brain
And all the muscles they'd rather fight
Than being honest and tell you what's inside
Well boys don't cry they just bury their hearts
While underground the earth shakes
In pitiful sights
For all the places where no one will hide
And sleep on stones cause it seemed so right
Well boys will be boys cause you praise them to
Be strong and fearless
But I'm weak and I fear that you leave
Forever being lonely with mmm by my side
I keep on pretending that these dreads make my life...
(Light this Lion's Cave)
A whim when he leaves the stage
(dusty fairytales)
They paint my face with filth again
(Light this Lion's cave)
He's got his roar and the herds astray
(let it fade again)
I'll try to turn it off, my friend
Ohhhhh (but) I can't swim
(Light this Lion's Cave)
A whim when he leaves the stage
(masked with devil's paint)
We'll compare our bruises 'til we fade
(Light this Lion's Cave)
A whim when he leaves the stage
(dusty fairytales)
They paint my face with filth again
(Light this Lion's cave)
He's got his roar and the herds astray
(Let it fade again)
It's "overplaying sadness" damn
Ohhh I can't swim
(Light this Lion's Cave)
A whim when he leaves the stage
(masked with devil's paint)
We'll compare our bruises 'til the end

Unrecited Poems

Ain’t a little love song
For you
Unrecited poems
From me
Whatever you are thinking
It’s just hard to lose
Done with all the sayings
I'll lose
I'm done with all the prayers
For you
Whatever fate will do now
It’s just hard to lose
Pockets aren't endless
To fill
So mine start aching
My bones
Whenever I find comfort
It’s just hard to lose
It's the end of december
Today
Whatever this new year brings
I'm done
So whatever will come now
It’s just hard to lose
Say it right for the heart you break
I'll hide the fact that I'm here to stay
Don’t hang your head it's not worth the pain
Just say it right It’s just love you break
So say it right that it comes your way
So say it right for the heart you break
It’s never right at all
Ohh This can't be right
For every little tie kept me alive
Ohh I've walked these miles
For every little tie kept me alive
Ohh this can't be right
For dirty lies should hit your head
Ohh I've walked these miles
When these dirty little lies kept me alive

Fight the heart, it builds the feelings
Don't fret the line when you are leaving
I can complain but they won't hear a thing
So miles away I fear for breathing
So it's this train or another
It's settle on a highway
It's climbing up a deep well
Far from everywhere I choose
Well it's this train or another
The weight will be farther
But to go back will be harder
It's dark the way I'm living
Fight the heart, it builds the feelings
Don't fret the line when you are leaving
I can complain but they won't hear a thing
So miles away I fear for breathing
Well it's this train or another
It's settle on a highway
It's climbing up a deep well
Far from everywhere I choose
Well it's this train or another
The weight will be farther
But to go back will be harder
It's dark, so dark
When you haven't got an aim
It's halfway home where I belong to
And I can't pretend
It's halfway home where I belong to
And I can't pretend
This Kingdom is Nothing
This Kingdom could be Something
But this Kingdom is Nothing
This Kingdom could be Something
But this Kingdom is Nothing
This Kingdom is Nothing
This Kingdom is Nothing
This Kingdom is Nothing
