lyrics

All of your might keeps falling,
strongest sense of doing something wrong.
A devious tongue
soliloquises,
so makes the truth relapse into silence.

Feeling somewhat dispatched but at the same time
cramped and confined.
When you’re lingering ’round and suddenly

all of the world keeps drifting away,
strongest wish to cling to something true.
You stumble from branch to branch.

Fixing your view upon yourself,
you wonder if that’s you who’s speaking,
you’re never quite there.

Widening your eyes you crave to,
rip them off and turn ’em around to see
yourself as you are

When you stare at the world and wait for a savior,
that’s no proof for your hollow soul.
You‘re just alone and addicted to life’s contingency
