Panoptycon

Listen folks

Nothing in this world worth having comes easy at all

For every decision that comes to our mind, we pay the price

What hereafter will wait for us, only the ocean knows

But you can be everything but certain

I paid the price for every word I dropped

Needless to say, my constant fear of separation

Is actually not disappearing

Still the same reason why I’m depraved of sleep

I’m losing friends and above all: I’m losing confidence!

Forever and a day, in this case no second abandon

Just pure resolution and our final decision

In this relation, we never thought to repent

I can still hear you admonishing me

But slowing down is not an option

I can still feel the rhythm and my heart is still beating

So your presence is no gift, but a curse!

You all once meant the world to me, who knows

Maybe we’ll meet again at my funeral

Don’t get me wrong, this is no reckoning to the life we’ve lived

But the only thing we share today, is our past

Let me back in!

Bleeding hands grab for the last tread

I exchanged all confidence to self-elected suspense

Sometimes I suffer from this life hour for hour

But apart from this circumstance

My voice gets stronger with every minute that falls

Did you ever, ever bleed for something?

Maybe these streets would be an easier way to go

Without these turns, just going straight

But we can’t choose their course

'Cause this is how we built those

I walked a thousand miles to escape

These barren landscapes, but they are still here

They haunt me like shadows

'Cause this endless melancholy is my oldest fear
