lyrics

i would tell it all if i only had guts to speak – it’s been a while since here and now became all what’s left of me | i know there’s not too much to see in a hindsight – future’s one with history – it was written in our blood: „we’re a failure“ – waste left behind – unwanted children of mother nature | this world’s made of war and you cant stay appart – either you will align in their march or you’ll wear their footprints over your head and arms - but remember every wall once falls and on their ashes we’ll build a new town from our stone-bodies yet aimlessly covering the ground – you are not alone, and you have never been | cranes don’t talk while they grow high – bring us closer – stones don’t talk while they’re being tossed around – waiting for their time | and no battle would make you proud – no light would make it brighter, no joy would take you high and no question make you wonder – i would follow the sound if it only made us find her – i feel she’s still around but she got buried under bitterness and anger | we swore they can’t tear us apart | do you really love? | there’s nothing left to say – you can spare yourself | this world leads fucking nowhere but i’ll get by – black holes expand in our heads, consuming all, they weight a tonne – we can barely see each other’s light | with branches we grow, with their leaves we fall – i guess that’s life – our arms too heavy, yet hopes too high – i swear we tried | beneath the burden of an ancient ghost, it’s hard to feel alive – it’s something bigger than you or I | do you really love our life? | lock the doors, turn back your eyes, drop the keys and follow me inside – take a look how time flies through smudged windows that you swore to clean tomorrow – it’s been a while since you been gone but nothing’s changed in this dirty hole – all this mess, drawn curtains, unpaid bills and your stupid games, well, just go along and play them – you’ll be safe locked up in this room – concrete and glass ain’t no place for two | you’re a monster | future, don’t leave me behind – future, carry me on dead or alive
