when did I stop to do what I want
when did I stop to leave my house
when did I stop to care for my friends
when did I stop livin' my dreams

when did I stop to feel that it hurts
to make you cry and walk out the door
when did I stop dreamin' of you
when did I stop to sleep at night

get down, get down
and follow my lead
take you last chance to remember
and share your secrets before we arrive

there's no better time than the present

when did I stop to turn off my TV
when did I start to believe what they say
when did I stop to say what I mean
when did I lose my self-respect

follow my lead
take your last chance to remember
share your secrets before we arrive

it's gettin' crazy hot in here
strangers and blind passengers
start to cry like little babies
and all their faces melt away

don't know if I ever stopped to love you
it didn't stop to hurt

put your life into a plastic bag
no time to say goodbye
five in the morning
you walked out the door
I remember cold smell of winter
useless, to try to withhold you
I knew that I'd lose you
from the first time I saw you

never know why you had to go
you never told us a word

I remember the last time
you walked out into the rain
you looked to the sky
closed your umbrella
dancing with yourself
soaked to the skin

now I know what it feels like
I wish you were here
dancing with the rain
soaked to the skin

wave after wave into the night
memories fade to black and white
a deep cut with a cold razorblade
to the end of existence
it slowly slipped away

another winter
another season
we're getting older except you
memories getting colder
sometimes hurt a little less
got a picture of you
as you walk into the waves
gently wash away the red color

tomorrow is your birthday
too late to chase your dreams
you act like you never knew me
you've turned into someone else

please don't look at me that way
you fell in love with another man
I don't wanna have to beg you
won't you gimme back my love

tomorrow is your birthday
feel your skin is gettin' colder
and you're whisperin' in my ear
no, no...  
schschsch.....

happy birthday dear stranger
happy birthday to you
happy birthday dear stranger
gimme back my love

I pull away the plastic curtain
enter the room
I took apart her body
first I peeled off her face

I couldn't stand the way she watched me
couldn't stand her hungry eyes
then I cut off her fingers
that she couldn't scratch out my eyes

I opend up the perfect body
pulled out her heart
I cut it into pieces
to dig out my love

gimme back my love
gimme back my love
gimme back my love
gimme back my love

happy birthday dear stranger
gimme back my love
gimme back my love

If I could write a love letter
I would tell you I miss you
if I could put it into the right words
I would ask you to stay

Don't know who you are now
but I know I still love you
and I wouldn't be afraid of
if I knew you felt it too

Meet you in my dreams
night after night
don't know where you come from
don't know about your past

  but we know who we are now

You walk like an angel
with a smile on your face
we're running out of time
night after night
before I need to wake up
I need to kiss you goodbye
then I know I love you
that you are the one

If I could write a love letter
I would send you a flower
but what if it's too late
and you belong to someone else

If I could pocket my pride
I would tell you I'm sorry

   I was blind

now I realize I missed you for another life
now I realize I missed you for another life

I don't wanna wake up and kiss you goodbye
I don't wanna wake up

come across my color field
straight into my picture
come in without fear
come in and lose your doubts
come in to play the lead
I wanna see you cry
come in without rules
come in and play the game
let me guess your name

Come in as a stranger
forget your name
come in as you are
don't turn away

run through ruins and killing fields
unwanted
suspicious
a refugee
come through your darkest hour
walk across my screen
shine like a star
when we turn off the lights
come without defense
let's play a little danger
lose your confession
we'll break your wings
save us!
save us now!

Come in as a stranger
forget your name
come in as you are
and try to stay
come in as a stranger
don't turn away

****** suicide bomber
who´s your enemy
you´re just another number
noone knows your name

Paradise shut down
and the world is still the same
once you had a dream of a future
don´t you remember

The firstborn never meets the expectations
with a smile of stone on your face
you pull the trigger with a prayer
and blow it all the hell

boom, boom

I need to get away from here
I need to find my family
waiting for me outside
I'm just another number
on your killing field

with your mouth full of chocolate
and the taste of your broken dreams
try to catch one of them at least
now rest in peace
once you had a dream of a ballerina
you were the dancing queen
but noone remembers your name

noone remembers your name

It's cold outside
and the driver's late
we're pushed into
a narrow cage
some beaten, some wounded
when they lock the gates

I hear some whining
in a stench of fear
some are brave
no rescue's near
some know, some heard before
noone here gets out alive

tonight we're fine
we stand in line
we're still alive
'cause we're too green
they start the engine
I'm the next in line

morning comes
like a hungry dog
I want to scream
but I can't breathe
they leave no witness
in the killing machine

naked and cold
wash away my blood
hang me head down
rip off my skin
cut out my bones
wrap it up in a plastic bag

still hungry?
noone here gets out alive

I come at night
when you don't expect me
nowhere to hide
you'll never gonna catch me
eleven minutes past midnight
your world's on fire
you need to wake up
to remember me
you cannot make me disappear

I'm on your blind side
you're not alone
I **** your mind
I'm out of control
you need to swallow that pill
your only chance to win
I don't need your money
reality's for free
you cannot make me disappear

I make you crawl
I'm your misery
I pull you down
to your memory
and it's gonna hurt
when we dig it all out
*you cannot make me disappear
