Lyric

What could I know in a shape like this?

What could I know of who you are?

I was searching for my real self inside

I was searching for my real freedom, my life

Stumbling over something I can’t name

Running on with something missing all the same

Ideals and reality cross like wires

Emotions and instincts cross like fire

Time slips by, like a cruel game

Faster than I can call its name

Leaving the precious things behind

Running on as if I’m blind

Moments that wake me from my dreams

Cut me open endlessly

Finally I got it in my hands

But when I see it face to face

Is the human soul, after all

So foolish, such a waste?

Finally I got it in my hands

But when I see it face to face

Is the human soul, after all

So foolish, such a waste?

Was this really right? I ask myself

Deep inside my heart, I cry for help

Turn around, it’s already gone

That old self of mine is done

In these empty hands there’s nothing left

All my treasures have been swept

The past and the future cross their lines

Feelings and impulses cross inside

Time slips by, like a cruel game

Faster than I can call its name

Leaving the precious things behind

Running on as if I’m blind

Moments that wake me from my dreams

Cut me open endlessly

Finally I got it in my hands

But when I see it face to face

Is the human soul, after all

So foolish, such a waste?

Finally I got it in my hands

But when I see it face to face

Is the human soul, after all

So foolish, such a waste?

All I can do is stand and stare

At fading visions of the past somewhere

I can’t retrieve them, though I try

Like a fool, I’m frozen in time

The more I wish to go back to those days

The deeper the pain keeps carving its ways

If this is punishment, then I

Can’t even pay back or justify

I gave up freedom to hold on tight

Now I’m searching for myself I lost inside

Never again will it be the same

Never again…
