Out of Exile
Like a dream or a wish I have almost forgotten
I am back
Back in my house
Back from exile
It used to be a home
Now empty rooms with memories of you, her, him
All gone now
I miss her, but do I know her?
I won, but what exactly?
At what cost?
My life in boxes
A box of books
A birthday card full of lies
A guitar
A leather jacket
All kept so the ghosts can...

Watch and wait
This game you're playing
Is not the kind you can win
Being hurt doesn't justify hurting
Life's cruelty doesn't explain your ways
This is you, always
You can shed many skins, but you can't lose yourself
The excuses run out
And your luck will follow
Your promises are hollow
And unfortunately for you
My wrath can only grow
Run little reptile, run
Writhe and thrash
Wear yourself out
Sell...

Only if you have to
Lie, if you wanna lie
If it makes it true
If it helps you sleep
Pray, if you wanna pray
If it hides the sins
If it'll make you a saint
Scream, if you wanna scream
If it clears your throat
If it keeps you safe
Pose, if you wanna pose
If you feel supreme
If it brings you up
Brag, if you wanna brag
If that makes you feel
If it keeps you sane
Judge, if you wanna judge
If it f...

Wolf
Your spark became a flame
Your touch was electric
This heart found a beat
A heart imprisoned in the dark
A lost ancient rhythm
So familiar but forgotten
Eternal
The sound of time
The spine unfolds
The hair stands on the back of his neck
And he howls to the heavens
His curse is freedom
Destined to roam alone
Lethal, restless, unkillable
The world is bleeding him
Only to lick his woun...

I
I am not a preacher
I am the book
I am not a martyr
I am pain
I am not a flower
I am the forest
I am not a chain
I am the prison
I am not your ride
I am the road
I am not your sails
I am the ocean
I am not your wings
I am the sky
I am not your guiding star
I am the night

Good talk
What my brain thought
Is not what my mouth said
The words your ears caught
Got twisted in your head

Yet another coward
The message is loud
The arena of love is a ruthless crowd
Do you have the guts?
Can you take a heart?
Time stands still
Kill, kill, kill!
I get on my knees
Ready to surrender and drop my sword on your feet
I seek a worthy opponent
I am longing for this moment
But, something isn't right
My eyes meet yours
A self-satisfied smirk on your face
Followed by doubt ...

Morning flight
Morning flight
The sun in your eyes
The air on your fingertips
Twist the throttle
Tuck down
Look through your eyebrows
And fly
What did she say?
Here we go again
Clench your teeth under the helmet
Clutch, downshift, brake
The rear wheel dances on the cold tarmac
You're losing control
Like you did before
But the machine obeys your wish
It's fo...

Let's play
I say black
You say grey
I say white
You say grey
I aim up
You spiral down
I hunt my dream
You wear a crown?
I always act
You only speak
You’re what I want
Not what I need
I give you some
You want much more
I stand my ground
Cause you’re a ...
Through cracks you slide
I see it all
More things to hide
Who knows what for

Lines
I crossed my lines cause I was running out of air
I wasn’t
I crossed my lines cause I had reached my limit
I hadn’t
I crossed my lines cause there wasn’t another option
There was
I blurred my lines to let her in
I blurred the lines for a queen?
But her majesty was merely a joker
And her servants are nothing but fools
I am carving a new line instead
It's d...
