the host 03:16
a host made of words, its aim clear ahead to tear down all walls, leave conscience burned and dead cast against self-esteem, so just, so righteous in its course how could one not see the truth striking down in your wrath come shatter my defense for surrender was never within burn me and let me be reborn, a man made of your kin all my wrongs, a blind man's path, but now I see because of you it’s all because of you you are so glorious, so bright so ignorant and misguided self-righteous and without fail I love you in disgust turn around and realise I am unarmed turn around and see I took down my defense I face you as a lover, as a brother, as a friend you have thrown the torch, put the bridge to the flame destroy all bonds, erase my name this is the moment when misgiving breaks its way this is the moment when a cold night turns into day this is the moment when we see it as it is this is the moment I bend forward for one last kiss it is the moment when our heartbeats fall in line this is the moment when my heart breaks one last time

you killed it - it was way too close, it was way too close, it was way too close it was never love - it was way too broken, it was way too rotten, it was way too wrong I love you - were the last words he said, the last words he said, the last words he said to you you take that knife in the middle of the night walk up the stairs, the moonlight shines too bright open that door, see him sleeping in your bed kill the man, kill the demons in your head you take that knife you know it’s all just a dream hear someone scream, blood is dripping off your sleeve you cut the bond that kept you close for all these years kill the man, release the demons in your head she now lives a happy life in her dreams he now lives a happy life in his cell and all lovers are bastards

I would like to kill but I can't I would like to love but I don't look what this love has done to you look where your heart has brought you to I would like to trust but I don't give you no reason why you should and what has he ever done for us? turn back the time, eight years have passed these years have tied our fates together these years have torn our hearts apart the truth is no fundament for a future so lie to me and I'll lie to you I would like to kill I would like to love I would like to trust but I can't broken hopes and regrets to comfort you while you cry yourself to sleep well, I don't know and I don't care …anymore!

you don't know what you should do you stand still in your grace, honey you decay you lapse into indifference enchained to charge bound to an oath disembodied and beautiful so close to love, so far from life a heart disposed, a life worn out no love to live, no hand to hold a heart composed, a life dragged down no love to give, combust your crown oh the fire burned low, your will burned out no hope to save this thing your home burned down, burn down your home burn it to the ground what have they done to you where did you bury your heart? time flies through rooms that once were your life people tell stories in which you once lived inside through doors you hear voices and behind windows you see color warm hands turn cold kisses to ashes and hearts to stone dust and bones

have I ever asked myself if one book could dictate my sympathy have I ever asked you about your concept of humanity have you ever asked yourself what's in a life has it ever been of interest to you how I define my concept of love oh darling I know so well the trembling and shattering thoughts when your purpose in life fades away the gun is aimed at my heart your words run down its barrel deny the love you can't feel! I surrender, this love is not for me this love is not for me

my dear son I am so proud of you do you really think I am that naïve? misunderstanding all that I see? you left these people with emotional lacerations and those scars those scars in my cranium took years till they stopped hurting from time to time I think they haven't ever really stopped and often I wondered if I ever wanted them to so now you tell me I am your last piece of mirth that is left in your withered life though you never gave a shit about us anyway while you did not care I had three decades to reconsider long repressed memories to reconsider them, to reconsider them sleepless nights I had to survive building up walls in my foggy mind running mazes strive for knowing if it was because of me an endless road leading to a sheer a bottomless fall - when will I crash? and though I don't feel like I have the strength to I still know what I have to do to find at least my peace of mind I swear one day we will meet in this abandoned dusty place in the back of my head where two men will enter and only one will leave

the departed 04:26
Her story: I'd like to go but I stay I'd like to go but I can't move he finds me, says a faint hello I want to laugh, he only sees me cry I'd like to live but don't know how I'd like a life that I could bare he holds me while I fade away I want to smile, he only sees me die when darkness falls comes doubt and pain when shadows crawl to claim their reign haunted by the dead, haunted by the dead, haunted by the dead, haunted by the dead oh stay with me when I shall rise from the dark oh come with me when I step out of the dark when darkness falls comes doubt and pain and I hear you call my name and I know you see me hiding remember you saw me trying and you still believe in me oh I know you believe in this but please trust me when I tell you I will not make it not this time you cannot hold me you hold the shell that is all that is left of me I beg you don't come with me let me go alone let me go home and I scream, I scream, I scream, I scream from the top of my voice into the deep of my soul please undo, please undo, please undo, please undo the damage done His story: I pack my things ready to run away to find shelter in another embrace I seek oblivion and I find oblivion but I love her so I return I took her hand and we jumped off the cliff into the sea and the rivers to our dreams to our dreams, to our dreams, to our dreams
