Text geschrieben am 03. November 1996It’s an open door on my side
There’s no room to enter
But the ground on which i stand
Is so familiar now it’s my homeThere’s no other way to decide
For to stay i pray, but i’m pulled
No face waits for me, for a smile
Abused by our fate all the whileSo i’m standing here between myself
Thoughts end in my head, no such thing
Wait for me or anyone else
It’s our fate to choose by ourselves - 02.

Text geschrieben am 17. Juli 1996There’s nothing as tall as the light of a life
Although it’s extinguished by the blink of an eye
In our ignorance we try to survive
But the pain even strikes whern the sun goes byThere’s no one escaping, this life of scyscraping
There’s nothing to save them, if you just believe themThere’s nothing as big as the entrance to hate
And the road is made of strong concrete
If you live your day it’ll be your fate
When you are weak you will end up on that streetSomething’s gone wrong
Something’s missing
Shouldn’t we be strong
Are we just missing
Isn’t it justice
It’s our own extinction
We’ll pay the tickets
We’ll see the show
Could’nt we just enter
This door to be behind
It’s just the splinter
That sticks in our heads - 03.

Text geschrieben am 15. Januar 1997All our intentions are good
We’re never misunderstood
We cannot look away
Cos we came here to stayOur faces are always clean
Our basic colour is greenWe don’t have nothing to hide
Our doors are open so wideYou are so perfectly near
Without a single idea
Of what you’ll have to fearNoone is safe everyone’s slaved, dependence
This is the end beatiful friend, dependent
All that you are, don’t move too far, dependence
Nothing is real, »sure you can feel?«, dependentAll of your fears, disappeared

Proposal
(03:05)Stimmung EADgbe
Musik geschrieben am 01. August 1996
Text geschrieben am 14. August 1996Take me to the inside
Let me leave myself
Throw this mess behind
Give me a reason to …… trespass your property
Two can be one
Raise a quenching river in my headI beg for unity
In our sad duality
Come on start feeding me
Your silence is not really freeReduce me to a half of everything
Please share the sky above, or anything
You’d like to give
Or not - 06.

Text geschrieben am 13. Januar 1997You are extraordinary
I’m far too ordinaryIf you search for me
You’ll find me wanting youNoone told you to feel sorry
And noone made you apologize
But you were never really worried
You were the one who gave adviceNow we are in between
Now everything meltsHow could i be without
How could i stand itNoone ever wanted to hear
And noone ever noticed why
Something that is closed was never opened
Two of us rgognized at lastyou are extraordinary
I’m far too ordinaryIf you search for me
You’ll find me wanting youNoone told you to feel sorry
And noone made you apologize
But you were never really worried
You were the one who gave adviceNow we are in between
Now everything meltsHow could i be without
How could i stand itNoone ever wanted to hear
And noone ever noticed why
Something that is closed was never opened

Text geschrieben am 08. September 1996It’s another face that is shown now
It’s another way the hand greets youNow it’s nearly different.......all the same
And it’s a plain to see......nothing’s sameThe sun is darker now, than it was before
But it burns you down, just like beforeIt is not to be known
That it’s all the same
I don’t know if they can
See the stupid game of ours - 09.

Text geschrieben am 03. September 1996So you see me there, point your finger
Raise your head above, push me down
It’s another day, it’s a shame now
Raise your axe to kill, you won’t regretOn me, your hate hates me
I’ll be without defencesLord I beg for you, for my chances
Try to set me free, hide my face
Burn my face in hate, you will cut me
Now you are awake, so i am tooOn me, your hate hates me
So we, burn our faces
And stay in hell - 11.

Text geschrieben am 02. Oktober 1996We go on walking sepereate ways
In our own tracks without each other
Food is shown before you starve
And then you starveThere’s no place on earth
Where we join to reach our hands
It’s a face of me
That I never will regainThere’s a way to be one
There’s a light that will not shine
It’s a sun inside me
The world will show……it will showRain is falling but no drop hits me
Not a single one…… - 12.

Text geschrieben am 01. Januar 1995She looks at me like i was dead
Seems to be somewhere else
Told her mom, but she’s not listening
"she has to do what she’s been told"Paints her room in grey and white
In front of the walls her face disappears
She thinks about being at home
But is’nt she already there?Laying her head right on the trail
But the train is far away
And it wont come soon this way
Not as soon as she hoped it wouldShe bites her nails
Until her fingers bleed
Blood red - 15.

Text geschrieben am 01. Oktober 1996Is there a place for a smile in me
A soul that shines on me
Sweetness, souls dissolve in each other
Give and takeIs there a room big enough to hide,
To be found, my revelation
Lonelyness bursts in hell
LivingNot alive, wasted
Once upon, tasted
Give life to me
Find to search
My way to go - 17.

Text geschrieben am 09. Mai 1995Cannot get home
My fuel has run out
Gas stations are gone
Home’s far away nowMy shoes are worn out
Can’t feel my feet
Time is gone somehow
Moon lightens the streetI feel so alone now
My fuel’s gone away
Everyone is gone
Wont you come?To refuel me
Still home is not there
Not even in sight
This world aint so fair
If your wrong or rightRoads are passing by
The further I go
There’s no need to try
You just say »now«I’m still alone now
Gasoline is not in sight - 18.

Text geschrieben am 21. Mai 1996The sky of blue turns slowly into black
While the clock is reaching 21:
The sound of backstrokin’ in my ear
Birds pass in front of purple cloudsThe shiny colours of green turn into grey
While the sun’s beyond the horizon
And all I feel is darkness
That covers the day blackAnd you have to know
That this this is not morning
And we have to show
That it’s the end of a dayColours slowly wash in black
Like eddie vedder sang once
Upon a time
Lights appear in the skyNothing’s the same
You just can’t resist
Night crushes colours
With it’s fist
Of black
With darkness - 20.

Text geschrieben am 28. November 1996There’s an open door by my side
But there’s no room to enter
It’s a face that shows itself
After it’s been hinderedNorth is what is in their minds
Cold as nuclear winter
Forces the truth to go and hide
Holds their lives in its cageThere’s something to enter
Warm and brightWe are in this parted world
Spaces getting larger
There’s no reach for help by now
Communication is harderBored of our intelligence
It seems we’re getting dumber
Noone thinks and noone moves
Everyone gets his number
