I don't want to be what you see in me
I'm not what I seem, I've never been
I'm still the same person behind the mask
Remember me, keep the door open all the time
No more life behind the bars
I don't want to be a prisoner in this life
Let me out of this foul play
This mediocrity, this stupid pose
Chorus:
It's always like this, no matter how hard I try
It's like a dinner in the unknown
With a gluttering candle, a too strong perfume
Music I don't like, people I won't like
Me sitting naked on my chair
I aked you to be my guide
But you kept silent till it hurt
The evil was already in the heart
Waiting to break free at last
(chorus)
I try to avoid it all
I try to igonre it all...
And the wind was going through the leaves
Played with them and dropped them
On the ground like me empty
Cause they were of no use any more
(chorus n times)
Tired 'cause you didn't go to bed
Too many cigarettes, too much to drink
And you realize how easy it is to forget
To sit in a tub and sink
Your mind is poisoned, your thoughts are confused
Nothing is new, everything is boring and done
I know how it feels to be used
You can't open a door when the key is gone
Chorus:
I've seen it so many times before and I don't
Want to look at it any more
I've heard it so many times before and I don't
Want to hear it any more
(x2)
And you searched for inspiration in the darkest
places
But all you found was déjà vu
You're sick of staring at all the same faces
The so well-willing, so-called friends
Help me to escape this heaven, this hell
Forgotten desires and driep-up well
Maybe the name will ring a little bell
But not loud enough to regret
(chorus)
And you only want to say what you feel
But sometimes it's better to lie
Even if your instinct tells you to be real
No one even knows why you cry
(chorus)
Mum and dad sit in the room silently
Weeping
In the room beside, their son lies peacefully
Sleeping
They are afraid to wake him with their
Tears
They are not telling him but they live with
His fears
And they were never that close ever
They'll never be that close forever
While there is no one else caring about him
There is no one any more to share it with him
And I've never listened to their good advice
Although they were right all the time
And now I'm almost up to pay the price
And they don't blame me, they try to stop the decline
And they don't care any more what family or
Neighbours say
They've broken every contact and stay with
Me all day
I want to take it a little bit longer to share
It with them
We talk for hours and hours, there still remains a lot to say
And my little sister she comes to say
Goodbye
She would never understand why I had to die
She promises to be strong and not to cry
But she lets it flow and keeps thinking
Why
Burn me and spread my seeds in the garden
The soil will kiss my ashes and new
Flowers
Will grow
A new life is born, another has flown
Another circle is round
Dear father, dear mother, dear sister
You gave me the happies time of my life
Goodbye
And I am sick of fighting this terrible
Disease
I am sick of fighting that monster in
Me
And the heads of the the dragon always
Increase
Stop the suffering, this endless tunnel
Please
Everything looks black again
I search and I search but I can't find
Always again this awful migraine
This seems the worst mountain I've ever climbed
I look in the mirror and watch my face turn pale
I go out and start my search for the man
He can pout and end to this fairytale
I can't find him and the shivering already began
So I try to cure me with alcohol
Why are the best things not free
Maybe I'll better move to Nepal
All the time watching the snow fall
And it's always the same game you play
It's like a very very old cliché
Like an inner voice you ought to obey
I've just realized I'm the protegé
Sometimes I realize I've fallen too
And I thought the smartest would never do
But this desire that leads me to the edge
I always stop before the final hedge
And I know it's difficult to resists
And you always think there's something you
Have missed
And they insist you to try it too
And afterwards you want that feeling to renew
But when you're into it, it's like voodoo
You'll carry it all your life like a tattoo
I've fallen too
Just like you
Right into the blue
As if there was nothing else to do
She became a total stranger to herself
Mourning for the morning she ate out of their hands
Overwhelmed by their control, their wealth
She was standing there naked, conducting the band
It was a pleasure then it is still now
To watch her take off her stockings
Yet keeping on her pride and powder
They commercialized her body couldn't do
It to her feelings
Maybe she's far ahead of her time
Knowing that anything can be sold
But she'll never wait for the decline
They may be in command but boring and old
Oblivion to sanctify her deeds
Oblivion to satisfy her needs
Once you've got it up
You've got to keep it up
This must be the downwards spiral of decay
Ripping off the skin of the earth
There's no time for compassion or fair-play
Time's money and truth a flirt
There is good and there is eveil
But freedom is freedom you say
And oh you believe in heaven and hell
You're on the wrong way they say
Chorus:
This spiral keeps turning
Turning the wrong way
No gods accepted, only credit cards
No more magic no more mystery
Only glamour, pain and academy awards
No reality, no pity
Just stop stopping, just stop starting
Count your notes and consult your P.C.
Don't remember what you're forgetting
This definitely isn't a place for me to be
(chorus)
Who controls the past controls the future
Who controls the present controls the past
My thoughts are getting wetter and wetter
I feel like a bomb a dirty outcast
I can't control my life let alone the future
Strolling around in my nights my pain
Acting like a rubbish pile vulture
Devouring what's been left there by the poisoned pen
Who controls the pen the sword
Turns people into excrements and ashes
Can anyone tell me why I feel so bored
Stumbling through words, sentences, ditches
But in the soundlessness of my dreams
I'm sticking needles in your back
Blood is black so are my lips
In black and white no one hears a scream
An like the sheet in front of me
My mind turns blank again
Afraid of my own signs, disfigured me
I'm stripping silkly, grotesque
Words are a deceit
A shore no beach
They're buried in my memory
And I don't want to count them
Don't give them numbers
Or do you want to to be the one?
Who said I don't love you?
But I am so tired
Putting the pieces together or my
Lost ego
The louder I laugh
The harder I try
The more I show myself
The less you know me
You don't have to tell me
I need you
But where are you
It's one of those days
When I love to feel
The tears rolling down my face
And get dressed to get some warmth
But still I am cold to the bone
And you ask me if I love you
But my mind says nobody home
I call you to the phone
But ther's no answer
No wonder you're sting next to me
The wallseare closing in
The floor is in front of my face
Five more minutes and the show is over
Don't read what I've written
'Cause I don'tknow what it means
Do you know what it means to be an icicle
4+3=7=0 One is gone the rest will follow
7+2=9=Too much two is divided never enough
Blood, rage, a day without a night
Birds will eat the flesh of the fright
Lions, lambs, night without a day
Books wil be opened and thrown away
Is it devotioon to possession
Or possession to devotion
The question answers the question
The answer questions the answer
The hands of the clock never stop
Go on and on sometimes they touch
Broken visions, nothing left to heal
Broken seals, its too late to kneel
This ocean of tears
These hills of fears
This mountain of pain
This river of rain
Comes a time
When saying sorry won't do
When saying I love you is a habitude
When I grow tired of me and you
When hate takes over and love is lost
There was a time
When I gave up my life and yours
To live one that didn't last
A life of acting and faking
Now its time
To stop this constant control
To break out of this role
To wash your smell off my skin
To scratch you from under my skin
Love is colder than death
This is the place where she existed
Yes existed cause she didnt live
No more ideals left no mind of her own
Only underwear andd a stained sheet
There were times when she could make them bleed
Make them crawl and beg for more
But that was then when she still smiled
A living doll in a pink decor
She didn't remember the reason why
She didn't remember how to stop
Not to feel the pain not to cry
To strip was easier than to open up
This is the place where she used to die
Now she's gone and forgotten
Somebody else is now faking the cries
And is also slowly rotting
The house near the Gare du Nord
Takes and takes but never gives
The house near the Gare du Nord
Leads its life but never lives
Extra lyrics:
(The man:) Mais qui êtes-vous?
(The girl:) Je ne sais pas, personne encore. Ma chambre, non, ma prison. Mais l'amour dans
ma prison.
I'm carrying my past along
And it always keeps up with me
Like a movie running backwards
Looking at the furture with the eyes of the past
Some say the spirit lives on
And this time they can't be wrong
So if you're ready be happy
'Cause your return has already been arranged
All the lost ones are in my mind
No one has to hurry anymore
'Cause all the clocks have been unwind
And reality has been left outdoors
So let's change skin and face the truth
Lets go back to mothers womb
Lets rehearse it one more time
Thid state of being man
Your face in the candlelight
And all the past images I recall
Leave out the ones I don't like
Leave out the ones that grew too old, too cold
The lake of nostalgia is growing bigger and bigger
The lake of tranquility grows deeper and deeper
Now things will go better
At least thats what they say
No one wants to know when our where
they only want it their way
The new dark age is dawning
As the old ones raise their hands
Forbidden fruits are burning
At the stake on their command
In this ever changeing world
Its so easy not to care
Actions speak louder than words
Or do we just stand and stare
I still hope it isn't too late
I still hope well wake up in time
Still be able to part reason from hate
To forget I, me and mine
'Cause flatness is rising up again
And numbness is the only emotion
Tomorrow crosses will fly again
Tomorrow we'll kill rebelling motion
Welcome to the final station
Enjoy the last sensation
The more I think about man
The more horrified I am
He needs an excuse to be alive
A reason to die a reason to lie
He needs an excuse to hide behind
A means to make his conscience blind
And he's gotone for every occasion
Not for charity not for compassion
In the name of you know who
You can do whatever you want to
Steal burn torture and lie
Live, love, perish an die
Les excuses sont faites pour s'en servir
