Aftermath 02:17
Buried deep in the ashes from which no one will rise No light, no tunnel, just darkness inside No need to be rescued, it is all said and done No need to be mourned, as we all come undone I only whisper your name and it burns my tongue And no one will rise Just darkness insight It is all said and done As we all come undone

Hollow Heart 03:40
When I was searching for someone to replace the void in my heart I should have been running away from this one chance to actually fill it There were these nights when we never were lonely When we thought we would never grow old When we lived in that tiny appartement This is the story to be told Now I know that I am better off lonely Being with you was what made me grow old And I still live in that fucked up appartement This is no story to be told You said it was the things that made you bold Are you feeling it? Are you feeling it? But I am afraid that they just left you cold You were killing it, you were killing it. No reason to go through all of this on my own What was our secret into blackmail it turned What was our dream a nightmare it became With a gun I could kill it What is left of me inside of you With a knife I could cut it out What is left of you inside of me I remember that house at the end of the road Where we used to play when we were kids We never kept our feelings inside Heads in the clouds and hearts in our pockets Oh I wish this never stopped And I can still see you through the cracks in my self righteousness Like a diamond in the rough you shone brighter than all the rest I wish I could have done anything, undo everything that happened after that Dont trust me in your sleep. Its over It doesn’t matter how much time has passed. its over You had the knives and I had the gun. its over

The Cave 03:25
This is not what I was being told There are things that are meant to be forever This is not what I was being told This is just what they wanted me to see And I am not here to ever let it go I am here to help it grow And I am not here to ever let you go I am here to help it grow All I want is in my arms You are all that I need Your name means love And your hands don’t just touch They shelter me They form the cave No days are cold, no hopes are lost in your life-long kiss No messages hurt, no scars remain in your life-long kiss You words so golden and true You heart so deep and so pure Yes cause this is forever You owe me nothing and I owe you my life You put hills in my landscape You paint holes in my perfect grey sky You owe me nothing and I owe you my life You put trees in my landscape You paint holes in my pefect grey sky You laid this path, you opened the door

I told you a few stories of people unknown You ask for their names, I call them mother, I call them father, brother and son These are the songs about daring and about failing and about trying and success But that was before I left and I never came back again "I put an end to this story, now go up to your room" says a father in rage "I hate you, I will never love you again" replies the daughter in haste Later that night when she sneaked out of the house it was the last time I was that kid And I still remember that night. I recall it like it was yesterday I can still feel the walls coming close, just one way out Out of that window, through that chokepoint, away from this life Not accepted in this place What if I leave, leave all behind What if I go would they recognize What if I am gone... what if... goodbye And now let me finish the story of this broken home No doors in their angles, caved in walls Silent whispers cover the ground Who is that ghost in the shadows? Is it the memory of an unseen kiss? After all these years it is all still there Burning in her heart like that fire that left nothing but death I still believe You better go with me, because we are dying alone You know you’re better with me Like she was stuck in a busted tunnel Like she was lost in the open sea You lost it all, she lost it all You got the best out of me, you got the best out of me And I am still stuck in a busted tunnel never reached shores i am still lost in the open sea I lost it all, I lost it all You get the best out of me, you get the best out of me

I went into the forest once I didn't know the trees or the birds They sang me songs, whispers hushed through the leaves They gave me warmth which the concrete of my life could never do They had no names, no lies they could tell Silence, so peaceful here Is where we don’t belong Please accept me here, just for a while I swam in the ocean once I didn't know where I was or how deep I could go I heard the songs, whispers hushed through the waves They cooled me down where the concrete of my life had burned my skin They had no names, no lies they could tell Silence, so peaceful here Is where we don’t belong Please accept me here, just for a while When all is beautiful who do you choose to love? You don’t, because love is not a choice, it is the consequence Of happiness and inner peace That is where you put me down I was a human once before you laid me in the ground You dug a hole deep in the earth I am a memory know. Only few remember me I am a garment now of feathers and the wind carries me away

Love Undying 04:50
Now that I have lost you can I learn to live again? Pump the blood back through my veins Can I recreate, can I appreciate? If I could find a fire in my chest, could the embers ignite my heart? And reawaken the undying light Will I ever rise again? Now I am sitting here in the aftermath of your life Still hear the doctors say ‘it is going to be alright’ Sounds in the distance, somebody is calling my name But I will never leave you, no, no smile will ever be the same Fight fire with fire until everything burns to the ground Fight death with all the love you have The memories of you and me will never fade away Fight death with all the love you have Oh I never hoped to win and I never dared to hope I just wanted to be with you a little longer And I still carried hope within, never let go of your hand Accompany you on your way there Time will tell, time will kill, time and time again Fight fire with fire until everything burns to the ground Fight death with all the love you have The memories of you and me will never fade away Fight death with all the love you have There was this thing between us, we never talked it out What if this battle was over and it was us on the ground A final heartbeat and it was close to come One last faint ‘I love you’ and then two hearts go numb I only whisper your name and it still burns my tongue
