BUTTERSKULL

You're hands; so greasy
you can't hold on tight anymore.
Such a pain in your eyes
that goes down into your core.
Nevermind,
please don't waste your time
living through the same thing once again.
But after all
I'm a butterskull
holding on to someone is insane.
I don't know how to fight.
Please, don't hold on too tight.
I think I've lost my might.
No, this isn't right.
My mind is something
no one can understand.
If you try to grab my thoughts,
they will slip through your hands.
Nevermind,
I won't waste my time
living through the same thing once again.
And after all
I am a butterskull
holding on to someone is insane.
I don't know how to fight.
Please, don't hold on too tight.
I think I've lost my might.
Now you're out of sight.

LOCKJAW (2020)

Don't let me be alone with myself
just let me be with someone, someone else
I can't escape the thoughts on my own,
so I try to fall asleep before I drown
My mind's dripping down my chin,
do-down my chin
It sucks me in,
feeling like a sin
My hands are spite
The-they are spite
It's crystal clear; I have lost the fight
Eating up my pride
u-up my pride
choosing a side
roller coaster ride
My eyes won't see
the-they won't see
the aching that my hands have done to me
Don't let me be alone with myself
just let me be with someone, someone else
I can't escape the thoughts on my own,
so I try to fall asleep before I drown
Biting on my hand
o-on my hand
Want to withstand
the urge but I can't.
My nails are sharp
the-they are sharp.
Cut me at night until my skin is warped.
Eating up my pride
u-up my pride
so I can't hide
from the grudge inside.
My eyes shall see
the-they shall see
the aching that my head has done to me
I'm trapped
I'm trapped in a lockjaw
stuck in
stuck in it's mighty claw
I'm trapped
I'm trapped in a lockjaw
Don't give in to it's ugly flaws
Demons hide deep inside
I have to give in to be able to fight
I'm trapped
I'm trapped in a lockjaw
stuck in
stuck in it's mighty claw
I'm trapped
I'm trapped in a lockjaw
Don't give in to it's ugly flaws
Don't let me be alone with myself
just let me be with someone, someone else
I can't escape the thoughts on my own,
so I try to fall asleep before I drown
I'm trapped
I'm trapped in a lockjaw
stuck in
stuck in it's mighty claw
I'm trapped
I'm trapped in a lockjaw
Don't give in to it's ugly flaws

No time left.
My head is caught up in distress.
The darkness,
it catches up ruthless.
Your voice gives me strength to bear this stress.
Oh, please don't leave me in this mess.
Just tell me
if this path is the same as yours.
Please tell me
if you'll follow my future course.
Can you keep
the past away from me, my dear?
'Cause Karma
prevents my lungs from being clear.
24 hours I am
stuck in myself, cryin'.
One whole lifespan.
24 mistakes and sins
are written on my skin
'til I give in.
“We”
- a lie that you kept telling me.
I'll keep it,
please don't ever leave.
All I do, I do it for you.
You let me down, no word was true.
Just tell me
if this path is the same as yours.
Please tell me
if you'll follow my future course.
Can you keep
the past away from me, my dear?
'Cause Karma
forces my eyes to shed more tears.
24 hours I am
stuck in myself, cryin'.
One whole lifespan.
24 mistakes and sins
are written on my skin
'til I give in.
I am addicted to you.
No strength in me to elude
and soon I'll lose
my mind surely with no doubt
with my back to the wall,
you'll let me fall.
24 hours I am
stuck in myself, cryin'.
One whole lifespan.
24 mistakes and sins
are written on my skin
'til I give in.

FOCUS LOST
04:16
|

Empty skull – feeling numb and dull.
Focus lost – I find
nothing in my blank mind.
After all I'm a butterskull.
I can't reach my will
don't know what I want but still
I can't stop feeling lifted up
when you hold me tight.
In my mind and in my sight.
Pressure's gone – the show must go on.
I'm not good at fights
I rather give up than try.
Just take your time.
I'll turn out fine.
Though I wish I had a reason to cry.
Decision's near.
I won't stay here.
Can't shed a single tear.
Focus lost, focus lost
because everything costs.
Never mind, never mind -
I'll just go blind.
Nevermind – I'll give it a try.
Jumping back and forth
between inner south and north.
Just pretend to be just a friend -
but I'm bad at lies,
slowly loosing all these ties.
We took our time.
Will I be fine?
Still hoping for just one reason to cry.
Decision's made
but starts to fade.
Is it already too late?
Focus lost, focus lost
because everything costs.
Never mind, never mind -
I'll just go blind.
Focus---
Always listening to my mind.
This time I am acting blind.
As always my heart feels numb.
Feeling so numb.
Feeling so dumb.
Always listening to my mind.
This time I am acting blind.
As always my mind's too greasy for myself and everyone else here.
There's no more time.
It'll be fine.
Seems like I won't get a reason to cry.
Decision's made.
Cuts like a blade
into the heart I faked.
Focus lost, focus lost
because everything costs.
Never mind, never mind -
Won't call you mine.
Focus lost, focus lost
because everything costs.
Never mind, never mind -
Will I leave you behind?

The floor is grime-stained
just like the window pane.
It's like a bathroom that no one ever cleaned up.
The stench of exhausts
smells like the latest loss.
I have never seen the stars in my hometown's sky.
The walls lost their innocence.
(Everything's mould-infested.)
Ichor on their hands.
(They just did as requested.)
One faucet sheds a tear.
(It was great while it lasted.)
"But the water's always tasty here!"
Boring and forlorn
- the world I was born into.
Conflicts that I survived will be washed off my skin.
The walls lost their innocence.
(Everything's mould-infested.)
Ichor on their hands.
(They just did as requested.)
One faucet sheds a tear.
(It was great while it lasted.)
"But the water's always tasty here!"
When did I start to like this town?
Tell me why and show me how, now.
Did I start to... like this town?!
Was it back when I named it "my real home"?

KLARTRAUM

Another day comes by.
Another day I die.
The blossoms in full bloom
through~ sinister gloom.
A tear drop from my eye
falls into their petals as I cry.
Längst verdorrt
am edelsten Ort
und sie leiden, beneiden.
Farben blass
wie das kalte Nass,
dass sie trinken, versinken, ertrinken.
No more dreams
at night.
No more dreams
will bring back your brightest light.
No more dreams
in sight.
No more dreams
see the daylight.
Running through the threatening dark,
searching for a promising spark.
All my golden hair got cut,
every single door got shut.
And they've got
to the spot
to die and rot.
(2x)
Längst verdorrt
am edelsten Ort
und sie leiden, beneiden.
Farben blass
wie das kalte Nass,
dass sie trinken, versinken, ertrinken.
Lucid dreams
at night.
Lucid dreams
bring back your brightest light.
Lucid dreams
in sight.
Lucid dreams
and as it seems
Just a dream
could save you from this misery.
So go to sleep, go to sleep.
Just a dream
could make your petals grow again.
So sink into deep sleep.

後悔がなくてごめん
koukai ga nakute gomen
いかに泣いても
ika ni naite mo
こころの炎は消えない
kokoro no honooo ha kienai
Tut mir leid - tut mir leid.
Du hast dich so sehr bemüht.
Und erneut - und erneut.
Hast du dir dein Herz verglüht.
Daraufhin - daraufhin
risst du mein Vertrauen ein
und ich konnte dir nie verzeih'n.
後悔がなくてごめん
koukai ga nakute gomen

キミのためにも燃えない

それは仕方ない
sore wa shikata nai
落とさなくてもいい
otosanakute mo ii
やめてください
yamete kudasai
やめて

Tut mir leid - tut mir leid.
Du hast dich so sehr bemüht.
Und erneut - und erneut.
Hast du dir dein Herz verglüht.
Daraufhin - daraufhin
risst du mein Vertrauen ein
und ich konnte dir nie verzeih'n.

FALLACY
03:50

I keep myself from being happy, oh.
Force myself on my knees.
Streets, just as empty as me.
Can't see the fallacy in this, no.
I sing a melody:
„You're in this tragedy alone
on your way home
So alone, so alone
On your way back home.
On your way home
So alone, so alone,
On your way back -“
On my way to nowhere.
Even if I stay
my mind's there.
„On your way home
So alone, so alone
On your way back home.
On your way home
So alone, so alone,
On your way back -“

We'll last forever.
