The Mute Sessions

A wintry morning Only me alone Alone with unmourned thoughts They couldn’t speak anymore A silent afternoon Far, I heard your voice And whispering snow Fell like an elegy Chorus: O calmest sleep - kiss my fear away A peaceful evening I was engrossed in self-oblivion I couldn’t weep anymore A brooding ode to the night Of raging agony It was bleak and cold I couldn’t laugh anymore Those sufferings I have shed for you Will cry as bleeding memories I dream to burn this incureable song But how could I ever live again?

I shiver at the very thought That you could leave this quiet room Without a word of hope or a memory Has it always to end in this way? If I heard the sound of weary steps I would think you would never wake again All through those nights and fretful nightmares A tightrope walker glided on my tongue

Music is drifting On invisable roads Music is shelter When your walls are grey again Chorus: Say, what do you feel when you listen to a floating wave of moments Say, what do you hear when you’re alone and the party is over Music is naked While you sing Music is a cure For a futile conversation

My mind is bleak and toneless are these walls Moments are passing by like trains that never stop I think without a thought but somehow I think after all The breath of nightly calm would cure my tumbling heart You'd be frightened if you were here To embrace my life - has to sear The shore remains unmoved By those rousing cries that are flirting with sleep I've wandered to find But still, still I'm not there A journey so infinite And still, still I'm not there You'd be frightened if you were here To encourage - life has to sear

You can’t hear me speak ‘cause I am mute I hide too many things I need a place to hope I need your help to hope again You see a laughing boy This is not true - only a mirage I can’t conceal my fear I have to be sincere Chorus: There is no way to forget I broke your heart when I ran away You didn’t know what to do I was only a stupid boy When I look back now I never felt so bad To know that I’ve hurt you Is worse than to break Is worse than everything Somehow I think my sparks are cold and useless I play a role in a sad movie scene - a sad movie scene I’m so afraid of myself I’m so afraid of being here I say sorry but it’s not enough I’m so afraid of losing my thoughts

Your days are sleepy Worn out and pale Few clouds will disappear out of the blue You touch the window pane The rain feels dry Your fingers kiss my brow out of the blue A shade of streetlight Is watching you You give me a smile out of the blue Your eyes tell me your tale of woe So sad and deep that I can't go Or do you want me to leave you again? The grey chords of end Are sounding nigh And if they stroke you out of the blue... I know it's late now You don't let me in A chilling butterfly - out of the blue

I thought it was over but it never will be There’s always something left in the air - a blink of you Too many nights we spent together Too many secrets we told each other I won’t forget your look when everything was dead again for a while, for a minute Chorus: Can’t save anyone I have tried to tell you that I’m too sad and scared Can’t save any sun You have tried to do the same but I wasn’t there Do you remember when we laid on our balcony The flowing sound of music all around A perfect easiness A perfect moment to trust

I sleep on a thin drowning rope To burn inside the fragile sea I saw you fall many days My nights were cruel - windless boughs To you I wrote fevered rhymes Oppressive sounds inspired me I am... ...scared of a moment that won't come ...scared of a landscape draped with clouds ...scared of a wilted envelope ...scared of your poem's parting verse

Visit yourself and tell me how you feel Always I knew what you meant but now I don't know I see the trembling veil of your soul and tears that never dry...never dry Woe is me - sometimes I can't sleep at all So close - the distance still grows And sickness, our foe, still blows I noticed your fragile thoughts and stars that changed their colours We sat together so far away...so far away Yesterday I sang a melody of autumn In your hearse we'll rest tonight Tränensaat am Seelengrab Das Leben zerrinnt Ein Tropfen im Wind Narbenworte, Bruderpein Ach! Wer errät mein trübes Sein? So close...yet so far...yet so far...
