So this seemed to be like
just the breakthrough that I need
I finally set my hopes free
let the bird out of his cage
and you said you’d understand me
I’d be everything you really want
but then after such a short time
I still care and you obviously don’t.
What can I say?
it seems
I’m missing the
essential combination
of words
to unlock
your heart
and so
once again I’m left
with nothing
but myself
Bent but not broken
I guess I have to move on
one more time
still searching for
that one place
somewhere I belong
I need a new horizon
there’s no point in pitying myself
and holding on to things in the past
that just weren’t meant to go on
and even though I dreamed about you
once again
the other night
things need to go on
things need to and will go on!

Riddle

I try to figure out the solution
to this disgusting, yet beautiful mess
and even if I never find the answer
I will make the most of it
‘til my death
on our way through life
we stumble across so many problems
and I’m wondering
do we really need to solve them all?
But what do I know?
I’m just a young fool trying to find his way
often enough found myself
being trapped in a self-created cage.
I rock the bars of my cage
so obsessed with getting answers
but the more I try
the more impassable they seem to become
since I never seem to figure it out
maybe I’m asking the wrong questions?
or maybe our lives are riddles
we are just not supposed to solve!

Labyrinth

I used to feel like a part of you
but those times are definitely gone
nowadays I just wonder
where the fuck all of us went wrong?!
the more I try to fit in again
the more alienated I feel
is it me who is wrong?
the mirror asks me „What do you stand for?“
and at this point I don't even know...
how can it be that something that meaningless
can haunt me for so long?
The walls feel like they're coming closer
I'm getting more and more anxious
if being me means being a loner
it's alright
I’ll stay myself nevertheless
because I feel
the alternatives would lead
into a blind alley!
Antagonists at every corner
some wear swords
some wear smiles
my trust in us is shattered
but I think that it is fine
‘cause the more I learn about life
the clearer I see the way we went
humanity will choke on itself
and it does not deserve any better end!
I refuse to be a part of you
you tried to trap me
but I don’t belong here
I will escape out of your labyrinth!
Maybe I’m not the strange one in this picture…

Departure

Finally found my way out
forgot about
the combination
left the riddle unsolved
I escaped your labyrinth!
Left all of them behind
the blind, the dumb
the intolerant
and the narrow minds
it wasn’t easy
and there’s no guarantee
I don’t have to come back
but believe me
I learned quite a lot so far
what we do
is what makes us who we are
I can finally see a new perspective
the sun on my face
the peaceful silence
without all the pressure
without their overambition
without their lack of empathy
without their hate
maybe this departure will not lead anywhere
but with this new way ahead of me
I feel like I can finally breath again.
I found my way out of the dark
keep walking on with an open heart
among the few honest and good ones
we form our own horizon...
I found my way out of the dark
we form our own horizon!
