Did you ever dream about being somebody else
And looking at your former self wondering who you are?
It’s like watching a movie and seeing yourself grow
While repeating those mistakes again and again
I’m growing old but I still feel like I’m stuck here with nowhere to hide
I’m growing old but I still need to say: It’s okay and I don’t need to run.
You say hold your head up high but I think you are just pretending to look good and
so self-confident.
Now I see it’s the time to stop complaining about me
It’s so easy to fall back down as I always did before
But now I see the time has come to start with this now.
You’re growing old but you haven’t learned a thing
I think you are still running from yourself
I’m growing old but I still need to say: It’s okay and I’ll find comfort in myself.
Now I see the time has come to write a new chapter
It’s so easy to scroll back to page one
But now I will set it straight and start with this now.
Your sadness – is holding me back
but I will never be the same
Your pulling - please let me go
cause I will never be the same

With all the lights out there’s no need to rush
Breathe in and slowly breathe out
You keep your head down and you don’t dare to look up
Sink into the dark and let yourself go
And all our same fears. There’s no need to excuse
Breathe in and slowly breathe out
We’re all stuck in here and don’t dare to believe
Sink into the dark and let go again
Don’t you know I was here before?
Will we ever meet? Will we ever be one?
Everything is black but I keep following this path
Have you ever dreamt of losing yourself?
Have you ever felt this desperate state?
I got no answer but I still stick to my hope
I’ll keep running away with no look back
Your words fade away but I move on
I’ll keep running away ain’t got nothing to lose
My feet hurt so much but I won’t stop
I whisper your name but nothing comes out
My pulse beats so hard until it stops.
I arrive where I’ve been before
The same pictures appear – will I ever see clear?
But with my blindfold on I keep following this path.
Have you ever dreamt of letting it all go?
Have you ever felt this desperate state?
It’s just a memory that I will overcome
With all the lights out there’s no need to rush
Breathe in and slowly breathe out
I whisper your name but nothing comes out
My pulse beats so hard until it stops.
I start holding my breath, I’m so insecure
Try to catch your words but they were slowly fading away.

Walk with me into the dark, let go of what you’re going through
Forget about the things behind and get us out of here right now
Dark and dusty all around, grab your boots and run
We’re not falling! we’re not falling!
So what’s the deal if there’s no point of return?
Grab my hand and I will get you out of here
Follow me, forget about your worries
Together we have a chance to get us out of here.
Is this the way to go? I try to remember what I used to know.
But this voice keeps on whispering in my ear and tells me to run faster.
My memories slowly fade away and I forget to remember.
Am I falling? Am I falling?
So what’s the deal if there’s no point of return?
Grab my hand and I will get you out of here
It’s so cold in this place and I’ll get you out of here.
Follow me, forget about your worries
Together we have a chance to get us out of here.

The ones we cared about were all going home and my heart’s still aching
I feel so sorry for myself but swimming in this sea of self-pity scratches off my skin.
I don’t dare to say it out loud. Why do my whispers leave my mouth unheard?
Only at night I feel like I’m invisible.
And there’s no light to illuminate my wounds.
And everything I do is blame you for being deaf instead of raising my voice.
All the parts of my body move back and forth.
I don’t wanna play this game anymore.
I hesitate too much because I feel so insecure.
I’m here and you are there
I’m thinking of all the times we’ve had
So sad, are we able to forget?
What can we expect from a life like this?
If everything we hold is gone?
Too bad, we are not able to forget.
Only at night I feel like I’m invisible.
And there’s no light to illuminate my wounds.
And everything I do is blame you for being deaf instead of raising my voice.
All the parts of my body move back and forth.
