Watching Ridle Baku takes me back
To cobblestone streets
Strangers speaking in mysterious, angry accents
Asking, “bist du Amerikaner?”
Ja.
A few blocks separated us,
A chain and barbed wire fence
And MP’s wielding machine guns
But on Saturday’s my parents took me out to the market
And I wonder if we ever passed by each other
Two children in the same city
The city was yours, is yours.
I was just a tenant.
Standing in ancient shadows.
I never knew Arizona didn’t have castles
Until I left, and I missed them.
I got a Mainz 05 scarf when I was 18.
A year before I watched you play for them,
And score against Leipzig.
And the city cheered.
Your city cheered.
And all at once I realized how much I loved Mainz
And how badly I wanted to call Mainz home.
How badly I wanted the city I grew up in to feel like home.

Still here lost and unsure. Veins have rotted cant seem to find the cure. My soul is no longer mine, trust me I am far from fine! Looking for you to stop this nightmare, but I feel you gave up on me and dont care. The darkness has finally drowned out my light but I cant seem to die and give up the fight. Thy demons have grown past my control, where my thoughts used to be is just a black hole. Memories feel taken, I'm so cold, cant stop shaking. My walls are falling down, cant be a god forever I have found. Hell has nothing on this, it is greater then Satan could of ever wished. It is not of anything I have witnessed before, the end of everything? I am truly not sure. Am I dead? Is it all in my head? Should I give in and paint this town red? I dance with death, you swim down my trail of tears. Until I am gone and life cease, I disappear. Floating in space on this spear, trapped in time that I fear. Your moment has come! A race to the grave, trying to find the answers to a ridle that can't be solved. Give me your flesh so I can evolve into something that is dead.. and can leave this hell that your God ******* bled.. My mind is clear and I give in, go ahead and judge me for my sins..
