I was going up the hill
to watch the Perseids
with no dream in my heart
surprisingly
when i came back
i had out-wished
all the shooting stars

the sound of my cat
sharpening its claws on the carpet
- why do you never listen?

this house
is not bothered by the living
it's floors
they never creak
if you come looking for someone
this is the wrong place to seek out
out!
heres the door
say no more
OUT
this house can't forgive
hard, sturdy, bricks
clean, empty, windows
quiet, plain, floors
so calm
air unsoiled by words
house
white
distant
fragile
house

The sea's rough
under a moon
that pulls und stretches the tide
to a indifferent tune
you tower dim
on a cliff off afar
in a night that drips
like wet and cold tar
you want me
to be close
to your seeking light
and in dreams
as an idea
i think i might
trying to get closer
heeding your call
but the waves are arising
and then they fall
you out-sing the sirens
just to get me back
but how can you be my lighthouse
when i build my ship to wreck

Your fingers
falling
on the keys of the piano

Clock ticking
my eyes glaring
at your hair moving silently through the air

Dark blue curtains
sway behind you
almost seeming to dance to the music

This love is undying
my dear
we got the aeons on our side

This love isn't crying my dear
it couldn't feel
if it's life would depend on it

Again you point your finger
at the nightly sky
claiming it's the night of the nights

Yet all there is to see is
half of the moon

I saw you
looking into my eyes
it got to hide
the soul
so meek
you play that game
hide and seek
well i don't
i am a fortress
i won't
fall for the easy way
that you call your life

is this it?
is this the way?
we will come together

no
it's not going to be this way
you can put your ear
on the cracks
on my wall
and wait
a long long time
till i fall
for your chuckle
on the stupidity
of my lonesome attitude

that's a good one actually

I heard you are running out of time
you love her
but she says its a crime
running out of dime
lifes bitter like a lime
and all of these feelings
are glued to your ceiling
and you are lying beneath
inside of your bed
yes
you are dead already

Rise and Bind
she is a moon
you are the tide
Rise and Bind
your heartbroken heart
your mindless mind

i know you love it when you hide
and everybody knows you don't want to fight
a ringing of a chime
telling you that your deserts running dry
she shook me up
turned me down
till no one was around
and you are going wild
turning into a monster
crying like a child

Rise and Bind
She is the darkness
you are the light
Rise and Bind
Turn it off
break it down
Dying to be alive
