Scorched Earth

Don’t give up my dear We built this road together My heart starts breaking But together we will fall Don’t give up my dear As lonely nights keep holding you tight Forget we’ve ever parted Forget we’ll never come back home And so I thought nothing could keep us apart And if something did, I didn’t think it’d be you And then I came back to the place we first met I could hear my heart breaking And I hope yours will too one day Don’t give up my dear Our dreams of endless summers You try to disappear But just want to be found Don’t give up my dear As my heart still beats your name Loving you was like going to war I never came back home the same Perhaps it was too little, too late We were already too broken, too hurt But I want to thank you for a thousand kisses That I can still feel on my face I thought I had forgotten all about you But here I am, calling your name again You still live inside of me And I’m cursed to carry you, wherever I go Maybe someday we’ll be two people Meeting again for the very first time Time has taught us we’ve always been strangers But in another life I’m sure I’d make you stay …at least another night… …another day… I tried so hard to save you I tried so hard to save me Save us from the maelstrom of time Save us from the great cold nothing Then all the love has been forgotten In times of furor and fear May you find peace now As well as me These nights were ours, but I failed you Our “almost” will always haunt my dreams

I don't know what I'm supposed to do Always haunted by the ghost of you Take me back to the night we have met 'Cause without you I'm just a sad song I'm waiting for someone and can't remember who But there's a hole in my heart shaped just like you You've drawn memories in my mind that I can never replace You've painted colors in my heart which I can never erase So I became my own ghost still haunting these walls Always chased by the memoriеs I loved the most I would have takеn your love to the grave But maybe we were just meant to meet and not to be My only regret in life is I never told you how I feel And I wish we were back home, I'd still be holding your hand 'Cause like sunlight, like sunset we first appear then disappear So important to someone, but we were just passing through You'll always be my favourite ghost I hoard memories that haunt me I collect scars that spear my dreams And little do you know, how I break while I sleep Little do you know, how much I want to disappear It's this day of the year again So many years have already passed It's so strange how the world has changed Even though we never did, we never will... I don't know what I'm supposed to do Always haunted by the ghost of you Take me back to the night we have met 'Cause without you, I'm just a sad song Without you, I'm just a sad song There's no one that can teach me to forget I thought I'd die in your arms one night Please one more kiss, one last hug Under the stars, before we turn off the light Maybe we found forever At the wrong time Couldn't put us back together And never will I wasn't yet finished loving you Maybe I never will But in the space of my chest My heart still beats your name

I loved to walk barefoot on the shores Just to feel the coarse sand between my toes To hear the waves crushing and roar And to hear the ocean calling my name Calling me home Raise your glass to the ones we loved For whom we cried at night For those who left this place too early In my dreams, I hold you tight Raise your glass to the ones we loved For whom we cried at night I'll see you on the other side Where shadows reach for light For what wе’ve lost like-a you and me It's always oursеlves we'll find in the sea To the pain of pure hearts Bleak skies and the sea To the mountains and tides As they fall, so do we No man steps in the same river twice For it’s a different river, a different man But through him flows the river of time And the time shared becomes a memory or a scar I love to feel the bare stones between my hands To gasp and fill my lungs with cold air To sense the wind, not breaking young hearts, but branches To hear the mountains now and then calling my name Finally calling me home And now as I stand here in the clouds It starts hurting a little less Since I know I'm not alone anymore Since I know I'm gonna sleep through this storm Drink with me to the days gone by Drink with me to the days gone by Drink with me to the days gone by And the life that used to be Drink with me to the days gone by To the life we used to live Father ocean, oh, Mother sea Come, Lady Death, and wear your crown 'Cause the sea's words were always more honest Speaking to those willing to drown For what we've lost like-a you and me It's always ourselves we'll find in the sea To the pain of pure hearts Bleak skies and the sea To the mountains and tides As they fall, so do we

As autumn sets fire to days We can no longer hold on We are burning in water Steadily drowning in flames While in my dreams we’re still roaming Through these fields together In my dreams it’s still young love Yearning for forever Like the last days of a suicide kid Borrowing happiness from tomorrow Still and always craving for summer But for a summer so many years ago Those who got outcast from their hometown Will burn it down to roughly feel its warmth Like a fire-theft in times of peace Now break my heart and take your piece …oh what a flammable heart I’ve been given… Sometimes the people around you won’t understand your journey And fuck, that’s just fine, cause it was never meant for them Cause the eyes, useless when the mind is blind And by the time we learn to live, it may already be too late Maybe you think that I got thorns on my tongue Cause of the words that I said or the way I spoke But my heart was just growing roses My heart was always searching for a place in the sun Cause some days I’m the “Starry Night” Then other days I’m the suicide letter And I keep on craving for summer But for a summer many years ago And so I became who I always hated And my life, worth one more tragedy And so I destroyed everything And turned my back on the world …blame it on my wild heart… It’s a walk among tombstones Everyone I loved left or died Death still conducts, still sings our songs And this poem of life ended with a scream

What if you were but a gift To my estranged and miserable heart Would you guide me back to times of grace? Where I felt sheltered, where I still felt alive?! You were the most important chapter In the book of my life You were the summit I was almost there But now my heart is broken And yours seem broken too Don't promise me forever If you never meant to You gave up on me Way easier I gave up on myself You forgot me so quickly I'm pretty sure you never cared But the past is like an anchor The past's the greatest fall-apart A hole filled with gunpowder in my chest Where once, once was a heart And you will search for me In the arms of another stranger You will search for me Not eventually, that's a fucking promise So when did we lose sight? Fuck, we used to be so close And now you became The main source of my pain And I don't know how to live on Or make it go away And I don't know how to live on Or make it go away I wanna be the pain in your paintings I wanna be the tempest in your words I wanna be young love, too vague to insist I wanna be your poem of solitude and grief You were the most important chapter In the book of my life You were the summit I was almost there You gave up on me Way easier I gave up on myself You forgot me so quickly I'm pretty sure you never cared But the past is like an anchor The greatest fall- apart A hole filled with gunpowder in my chest Where once was a heart Just once I'd like to be the poem And not again its fucking poet I was just another promise you couldn't keep Burn everything that bears my name Cause nothing will ever be louder Than the silence between two people That once pretended to love each other And were ready to see the world burn

Maybe I'm going to kill myself by pretending I'm ok?! But die a little every fucking single day?! Love betrays and kills and I found out the hardest way Cause a thousand years in the water couldn't wash your name away My pain I mainly chose myself I'm so heartsick I could die Love and death are just beautiful lies I never knew how to say goodbye I like melodies that just tell me sad things Songs of loss, yet resisting its cold But as soon as you grow up your heart dies So never grow up, never grow old I like melodies that just tell me sad things Songs of loss, yet resisting its cold But as soon as you grow up your heart dies So never grow up, never grow old I'm a piece of all the places I've been I'm so homesick I could die Love and death are just beautiful lies I still think we deserved a better goodbye A better goodbye Now after all these empty days and sleepless nights I still drown in silence, still drown in the void But death created time and time created death Death is the crown of all, let her reign our hearts tonight What a loss to spend so much time With someone just to find out she's a stranger In the end it seems we both lost something You lost me, while I lost trust and time And now after all this agony, agony and heartbreak I still drown in anguish, still perish from grief It's pretty easy to see the beginning of things But way harder to see their end Cause I remember with painful clarity When we began for me But can't lay my finger On the moment of our end I'm sorry the void once more engulfed me But somehow I guess, I myself became the void I'm leaving soon... Sorry I can't save myself... (Myself, myself, myself, I can't save myself) (Myself, myself, I can't save myself) (Myself, myself, I can't save myself) (Myself, myself, myself)
