Why are you here?
Why are you wasting your life?
Does it not concern you the people you turn to are twisting the knife?
Why are you here?
Why are you here?
Why are you here?
Emotional masochist
Why are you here?
It doesn't make sense
You seem to be fine when the funniest line's always at your expense
You let all the pain persist
Emotional masochist
You know you could fight it but you never tried to resist
Learn how to make a fist
Emotional masochist
I know it's not easy but then they will cease and desist
Why don't you try?
Why don't you straighten your spine?
No one would choose to be there in your shoes while toeing the line
Why don't you try?
Why don't you try?
Why don't you try?
Emotional masochist
Why don't you try?
I couldn't be worse than taking the fall and suffering all like you're under a curse
You let all the pain persist
Emotional masochist
You know you could fight it but you never tried to resist
Learn how to make a fist
Emotional masochist
I know it's not easy but then they will cease and desist
I see the dreams dying inside of you
I hear them scream from all that you put them through
There in your eyes suffer the butterflies in vain
Drowning in your tears from so many years of pain
Gone are the unicorns
The roses are only thorns
The bees have all fled the hive
When real life prevails
Only the nightmares survive
Only the nightmares survive
Only the nightmares survive
You grew up so fast, how could anything playfull last?
Buried alive in the past
When the pace of your life shifts into overdrive
Only the nightmares survive
Your fantasies have fallen into the sea
Your highest hopes now hang in an empty tree
Now that you're grown look at the seeds that you have sewn
A wasteland of work, the flowers have turned to stone
Too late for the big parade
The color's begun to fade
The reaper will soon arrive
When dreams go to hell
Only the nightmares survive
Only the nightmares survive
Only the nightmares survive
You grew up so fast, how could anything playfull last?
Buried alive in the past
Something's giving me a sign
What it means for me I have yet to see
Red flags waving in the wind
But I can't stop now
Someone tell me how this could be
Heart shaped shadow on the wall besides my bed
But no source of light is casting this sight
Heart shaped shadow on the path before my feet
The overcast sky has me asking why
Something's giving me a sign
What it means for me I have yet to see
Red flags waving in the wind
But I can't stop now
Someone tell me how this could be
How could it be
Heart shaped shadow
There upon the door
Blocking my way
I can't escape today
Heart shaped shadow
Is it only in my mind
Or it is trying to say
That we're not okay?
Something's giving me a sign
What it means for me I have yet to see
Red flags waving in the wind
But I can't stop now
Someone tell me how this could be
How could it be
Heart shaped shadow
I can't believe you
Until I leave you
I see we're at a crossroads
The compass is spinning around
There's drama by the truckload
This ship may be running aground
We could go on
There's no room for doubt
What could go wrong?
I don't intend to find out
You think that we can patch it
And seal each emotional crack
You're burying the hatchet
But in the ground or in my back?
We could go on
There's no room for doubt
What could go wrong?
I don't intend to find out
I don't know why you're compelled to repair things
It's as if you're a marionette that escaped and now misses the strings
I've been fooled once or twice by the scent of a memory
And the next thing I know I wake up all alone in the same penintentiary
We could go on
There's no room for doubt
What could go wrong?
I don't intend to find out
You see me on the train
We pass the time of day
You smile invitingly
And try delighting me
But I've seen all this play out before
I'm not what you're here looking for
Though I notice that look in your eyes
I implore you to take my advice
You don't want to know me
I give you fair warning
You don't want to know me
Don't bother exploring
I could easily fall for you now
But that's not something I will allow
It's for your own good
Because hurt you I would
You don't want to know me
I give you fair warning
You don't want to know me
Don't bother exploring
You don't want to love me
Don't give me your heart strings
You don't want to trust me
I know how the bee stings
You don't want to trust me
I know how the bee stings
Keep it a fantasy
Some things you should not see
To think what could have been
Is better than missing what used to be
You don't want to know me
You will be back
That's what you said to me
A kiss on my neck
That was your guarantee
Then you disappeared in the darkness
Swallowed up into the night
But still I hold onto your light
Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me waiting
Do what you need
Go where you have to go
At your own speed
I'm patient you know
Come back and we'll start it all over
Just like it was once before
We won't be alone anymore
Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me waiting
I will be here
Just as I said I would
I will be here
Making sure all is good
I will be here
Until you come again
I will be here
And I will hold you then
I gave my word to you
I'm going to see this through
You won't be abandoned now
We will unite somehow
Don't keep me waiting
Don't keep me waiting
I know your type, you're all the same
Your outer shell is just a game
I see the holes in your defense
When you're with me makes no difference
You can be safe
I hold the key
You can be safe
This I can guarantee
You can be safe
Just wait and see
You can be safe
Safe with me
Love like a fiend and live like a rebel
But when you're alone can't be too careful
You locked all your doors and loaded your weapons
Then lowered your guard and learned your lesson
You can be safe
I hold the key
You can be safe
This I can guarantee
You can be safe
Just wait and see
You can be safe
Safe with me
I know all your cracks and I'm here to fill them
I've got your back whatever the outcome
Some days we feel scared, at times we are troubled
But together our strength is much more than doubled
I'll be your sentinal
You're indispensable
No need to be afraid
I am your barricade
You can be safe
I hold the key
You can be safe
This I can guarantee
You can be safe
You can be safe
You can be safe
I hold the key
You can be safe
This I can guarantee
You can be safe
Just wait and see
You can be safe
Safe with me
I see you found the key
I found the open door and I assume you saw the suitcase
I knew eventually
You'd come to know me more than you might have in the first place
Your eyes are wide
Must be a big surprise
To learn what burns
So deep inside my mind
I knew that sooner or later
I'd have to explain
Why the balance I crave
Comes from something arcane
It's just another side of me
There's no need to be afraid of what you may see
It's just another side of me
A darker, less traveled part of the territory
Welcome to a world of secrets
Of ritual and protocol that is a old as any altar
You will have no regrets
I invite you to try it all and I swear you will not falter
It's just another side of me
There's no need to be afraid of what you may see
It's just another side of me
A darker, less traveled part of the territory
I see a smile
Coming over you
Maybe you want…
Maybe you want it too
It's just another side of me
There's no need to be afraid of what you may see
It's just another side of me
A darker, less traveled part of the territory
The party's only getting started
But air in here is thick
All the strangers' eyes are staring
Like they think that we are sick
It's time to go
We don't belong here I can feel it
I didn't come here to compete
Is it our hair or how we're dressed
They look at us like we're fresh meat
It's time to go
We should be anywhere but here
It's time to go
Head for the door, the coast is clear
Time to go
We've used up our welcome here tonight I fear
It's time to go
Let's find us a way to disappear
It's time to go
We should have known by all the strangers listed on the invitation
And that the deviant aesthetic was really only imitation
We didn't want to draw attention to our dark proclivities
But every time let our words out it made the others ill at ease
It's time to go
We should be anywhere but here
It's time to go
Head for the door, the coast is clear
Time to go
We've used up our welcome here tonight I fear
It's time to go
Let's find us a way to disappear
It's time to go
Fluss, du fließt in alter Weise
durch dein programmiertes Tal
in zeitloser Deutschlandreise
so schön und überregional
Töne fließen wie ein Strom den Fluss hinauf
Ströme steuern diesen neuen Tonverlauf
Du kennst Burgen und Ruinen
Spiegelglas und Edelstahl
Wir, wir bauen auf Platinen
und denken digital
Töne fließen wie ein Strom den Fluss hinauf
Ströme steuern diesen neuen Tonverlauf
Fluss, man lebt an Deinen Seiten
und macht dicht yum Wechselstrom
du erzählt von alten Zeiten
Wellen spiegeln sich in Chrom
Töne fließen wie ein Strom den Fluss hinauf
Ströme steuern diesen neuen Tonverlauf
