Stepping out of/on the plane/plain entering more progressive songs with epic tendencies here and there. Finding a place to land without a safety belt. Unfortunately there are some really bad tempo (and other) problems on this record, so please consider this a demo.

Text geschrieben am 11. September 1998The stars are out tonight
Falling stars’ fading light
But clear skies make us freeze
Though clouds appear from eastNo other direction
Any direction they might lead
Don’t bother, just follow
Or you’ll never be historyAnywhere you are alone
Even there where you feel homeFor all that’s past today
You would’nt ask again
Waiting for the day to leave
But how soon will that be?Anywhere where you belong
Any way that you’d grow strong
Any place that you could hide
Anyone’s apologise»it never happened
It’s just an illusion of my heart
It will die
Time makes it heal before I’m goneGone, gone
Don’t you remind me
Of this intrusion to my heart
I will cry
Time makes me crack before I’m goneSo long, so long
Done no wrong«
You just sit there and mute
While your family is at home
Waiting for the day afterThey just live their day
Because there’s nothing left to say
Waiting for the day afterThe bridges are going down
While your home’s only half of the former sizeCan you cross those rivers?
All you fears surround you each way you chooseThis man appears to be one of the tiniest
But his silence is your enemy - 02.
Song for no one

Text geschrieben am 11. Mai 1999Beware! it’s coming your way.
And if you choose to stay:
The perfect mess. your chance to experience.
And you decided to stay?Where’s my exit? no drug is left.
Confused, whirpoolheaded.
Lost in networks. planecrash.
Sun is up: lights me up.Please! thoughts of vacation.
But I em forced to stay.
Time has run out. this bird has flown.
There’s no place to stay.Am I aware of consequences?
Confused, whirpoolheaded.
Lost in networks. planecrash.
Sun is up: lights me up.Save me! just like I saved you.
It’s my choice to stay.
This dusk’s a dawn: if you believe me.
Time will find a way.Contradictions, playing chess/jazz.
It’s a game that leaves no choice.
Lost in networks. planecrash.
Sun is up: lights me up. - 03.

Text geschrieben am 06. März 1999Screaming out,
Even though i do there is no sound.
There’s no doubt,
From now on we have to be without.All that i’ve noticed,
All that i’ve seen,
By now it turns into a dream.All of these questions,
What do they mean?
There are no answers, as it seems.Fear this song!
Now we have to learn to get along.
Where can i run?
When i cannot be where i belong.Home is my island,
It’s where i drown.
(don’t try to carve these words in stone)There is no passage,
There is no door,
I cannot see what i adore.Drive my car,
It never takes me back to where we are.
Ride my bike,
Still i know that i cannot arrive.All that i’ve given,
All i’ve received,
It starts to vanish as you leave.Now that it’s spoken,
Now it has been,
We’ll never wake up from this dream. - 04.

Text geschrieben am 07. August 1998On our hands we’re on our way.
This old pile of stones will stay,
A million years here anyway.
So theres an answer you can say,
What you expected here today?So we sleep a million miles,
While the lightyears pass us by.
It’s the arrival of a time.
It is’nt yours and was never mine. - 05.

Text geschrieben am 27. Dezember 1998You can be as you want to,
There are no colours, only b/w.
In your dreams, weird things happen.
There’s no need, so don’t you try!Oh oh
Sleep at night, sleep at daytime.
The brightest white in your thoughts.
You have learned for a lifetime:
You deserve the deepest sleep.Dusk turns to dawn today.
All you dreams slip away.
So dont you try to sleep.
It won’t change...It’s just unfair!
How could it happen? - 06.
i know you well

Text geschrieben am 01. Januar 1999It all begins with this few words,
I start to wonder will you ever hear.
The night are’nt bright, but filled with gain,
The closer you go, the farer is pain.Tell me what i already know.
It could help me be, somehow.
Give me what i always had,
I’d be thankful you’d be mad.Where are those days?
Slipping away.
It’s hard to see it all begin,
In this weird state that we are in.
It’s all you never wanted.If it would’nt feel so wrong,
It’d end up in a different song.
But why is it so hard to see,
That i em you as you are me?Where are those dreams?
Nowwhere, has beens.
It’s hard to see it end like that.
We should have known,
How should we know? - 07.

Text geschrieben am 25. März 1999I thought that you were the one who tried,
To take over all that’s mine,
But it’s you sending sweet delight,
And it’s you spending light at night.Who else could hurt when he’s all he is,
And show me ways in my darkness,
Who else is there to shout upon,
When you know everything is wrong.So when the stars are out tonight,
The signs who told us what it’s like,
Once i thought he was ti blame,
But it is always just the same game. - 08.

Text geschrieben am 01. Januar 1996A thousand words have to be spoken
To spell it’s name.
A thousand thoughts in thousand minds,
To notice it.It’s all around but nowhere,
Where you could see it
Brings the thoughts into our heads
And laughs a tear.It’s justice for the innocent.
It’s pain for the numb.
There are no words to tell
What makes it spin.It’s not recognizable,
It’s not deep inside ourselves.
It’s not all around us,
It’s not what created this.I know you are what you know.
And there are no words to tell.
I know that there’s a way to go,
Although it’s hard to spell...Haven’t you heard it’s name?
Haven’t you seen it’s face today?
No you know who’s to blame!
You couldn’t figure it out by yourself.I’m not singing about god.
That’s not what this song is about.
Even when times get hard.
Haven’t you ever thought about? - 09.
Who knows?

Text geschrieben am 22. Juni 1998We passed the sun & moon,
But noone ever knows.
Dark days on our way.
But noone ever knows.This world could be destroyed,
Still noone would ever know.
It hurts to be a part.
But noone ever knows.We starred through eyes of hope.
But noone ever knows.
We took the lonely road.
But noone ever knows.You served the crying rain.
But noone ever knows.
You could do it all again.
But noone ever knows.You’ll never know
Unless you find out
What it’s about,
You would’nt mind though…This world was taught about,
But you don’t care about,
All that is gone because,
Still noone wants to know.All of your worried thoughts.
But noone ever knows.
Screaming out to your god.
But noone ever knows.This time the sun is gone.
But noone ever knows.
This time there’s nothing done,
But tomorrow never knows.I believed in every god.
I did all i was taught.
I burned the seven seas,
I did all that pleased,
But noone will ever know.
