Between the Light

My world seemed perfect, so warm and full of harmony. I saw a future so constantly! But I was blinded by the light, I did not see what was behind. I did not recognize the truth. instead I put my trust in you. I forgot that trust means pain, I forgot that nothing is forever. I forgot that life's an unfair game which you can't win, never ever! It's hard to push forward while everything I desire lies behind me. I will not recure what went wrong, I will not be a fool anymore, I will not be as blind as before. Never again! After all I'm alone in the rain but I've learned to strangle the pain, to see my life in a different point of view. I no longer care about you!

Do you know the kind of feeling which says everything’s alright while you know it's not? Do you sometimes take a look in the mirror asking yourself what’s wrong, what is true and what’s a lie? I remember the day that changed my life forever, I remember the moment that opened my eyes. Since then I'm a different one and not the same anymore. Life showed me a better way, I just had to open the door. I hated myself for so many years, I fought night by night thousands of fucking tears. But I have learned that my point of view is the only thing that matters, I have learned to accept the fact that I'm just not like others. Days in grey, senseless hours, there were so many, I stopped to count to save my will to live. I did not see the beauty of flowers, The green of woods, the smile of the sun. I was forlorn in agony! I hated myself for so many years, I fought night by night thousands of fucking tears. But I have learned that my point of view is the only thing that matters, I have learned to accept the fact that I'm just not like others. I hated myself for so many years, but the chance of a new life was always near. I changed my life and walked a new line instead of an old one. But in the end I am as blind as before and I'm still not like others! I can take a look in the mirror but now I know it is not my fault that I'm just what I am, that I'm just live in another world. My own world!

I can remember times of peace and of complacency where fear was a fairy tale my parents narrated me. But my world turned fast into a desolate place in the dust of time. No one else around me, just their old forgotten signs. When I close my eyes I feel loneliness for beyond redemption. When I close my eyes there is nothing left but isolation. So many people surrounded me my whole life long but like shadows fear the sun, they are all gone. All this places where I have been for so many years are now just naked stones, they all lost their souls. Cold winds invade the forsaken streets like no human being had ever walked the earth. Is anyone left out there? I am lost in my memories of colors and lights, I forgot all morality and I feel numb night by night. Faint reflections of the past are watching me through broken glass and mirrors. Hate and charges fill their empty eyes. Ice-cold and motionless, trapped in eternity. More and more I fall into a trance, everything around me fades into grey. Reality and ficition conflate into a world that shouldn't exist. Paranoia, anxiety states; I feel haunted, there is no way out. Step by step I'm losing my mind, insantiy prevails, takes over command. My eyes wide open, my blood's running fast. I am caught in delirium, am I alive at last? Is it air that fills my lungs or was it all just a dream? Is it all just in my head and not as real as it seems?

While the world is high on fire and everything we're used to be is close to falling apart. We act like there is nothing, nothing that tempers delight, nothing concuss’ our lives and forces us to Hell. All around me people telling their stories about how great and selfless they are. But if you need help without reward nobody's there and no one cares. They always said: "Become whatever you want, just catch your dreams, just think you are a special one." But you'll grow older and you'll see how real life is, broken dreams will haunt you through the nightside abyss. I will live my life without these inner strife, just be a man of his word among this fucking perverted world. Just a few out there will understand my vision and not many of you deserve my trust. But for those who always stood beside me I will walk through fire and dust.

I didn't see the blue in the sky although I knew the sun was shining so bright. For such a long time I had no clue if I was alive, after years in darkness I step into the light again. And still I hear the call of my inner voice, I still see the shadows behind the lights. Again I'm running 25 hours a day, the sins of my past right next to me. Again I know that all this beauty I see soon melts away like dreams in the dawn of a new day. The night falls apart, colours return to life. Feelings so long forgotten fulfill my soul again.

I hurt myself today to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real. The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting. Try to kill it all away but I remember everything. What have I become my sweetest friend? Everyone I know goes away in the end. You could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down, I will make you hurt. I wear this crown of shit upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair. Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear. You are someone else, I am still right here? What have I become my sweetest friend? Everyone I know goes away in the end. You could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down, I will make you hurt. If I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself, I would find a way.
