STATE OF MIND (written by Markus Vogel, 2012) I can´t be conformist there´s no time to behave Many material suckers are creeping through my game of existence Arrival of the gloomy frauds hidden by a wall of lies Fixed by a human tragedy all the wooden doors are sealed It´s time to move on It´s time to leave now It´s time to find a better state of mind I´ll move away from that place of bad creation I won´t drown myself like a weathered stone in these mad society Distorted hopes are still sticking on the surface of my virtual gravestone A reunion with old reflections when the sun is swallowed by the sea It´s time to move on It´s time to leave now It´s time to find a better state of mind We´ll find a better state of mind

SUNSHINE (written by Markus Vogel, 2012) Sunshine, Let my shape glow Sunshine, Like a magnificent rainbow Sunshine, Light up my little son Sunshine, With your ancient wisdom Shine on my collapsing mind, Deep inside, with your rays of light Sunshine, Let my shape glow Sunshine, Like a magnificent rainbow Sunshine, Light up my little son Sunshine, With your ancient wisdom Shine on my collapsing mind, Deep inside, with your rays of light Illuminate my starved life With your powerful flames Keep me warm, light my growing hope With your shining rays A new storm is approaching and light turns into darkness Temperature drop, the agility numbed And we´re warming down without … SUNSHINE

(K)EIN WEG (written by Markus Vogel, 2011) Ich hab' mich in einer Welt verloren in einer Sphäre voller Unbeständigkeit Da stehst Du vor mir, meine verlorene Liebe triffst mich hart wie ein Faustschlag aus vergangener Zeit Tut mir so Leid, dass ich Dir wehtat Ich schrei es raus in die stille Dunkelheit leg' Deine Hand doch auf die meine und wir vergessen die vergangene Zeit Tut mir so Leid, dass ich Dir wehtat Ich schrei es raus in die stille Dunkelheit leg' Deine Hand doch auf die meine und wir vergessen die vergangene Zeit Sind wir nicht alle Individualisten? Hauptsache ist, der Sound wird laut und gut Und ist unser Dasein auch noch so beschissen wir fassen irgendwie immer neuen Mut Tut mir so Leid, dass ich Dir wehtat Ich schrei es raus in die stille Dunkelheit leg' Deine Hand doch auf die meine und wir vergessen die vergangene Zeit Tut mir so Leid, dass ich Dir wehtat Ich schrei es raus in die stille Dunkelheit leg' Deine Hand doch auf die meine und wir vergessen die vergangene Zeit schenk mir nur ein kleines Lächeln oder knall mich einfach ab ... Kein Weg zurück Kein Weg zurück Ein Weg zurück Zurück

FREEDOM (written by Markus Vogel, 2012) It´s not a nice comfort in being confused It´s hard to move my fragile fingers It´s bewitching to smell that heavy smoke (around my head) And the thieves were still at large Look into my flaming face Until you feel the senseless fear It´s so stupid to pay for my own rigidity It´s so painful to slog my hulking fate It´s so futile to manure again the contaminated fields Mental freedom is everywhere but I´m here I´m free to love my little son More than my own fucking life My freedom of choice My freedom of love My freedom of expression Yeah, maybe we´re free to agree It´s so stupid to pay for my own rigidity It´s so painful to slog my hulking fate It´s so futile to manure again the contaminated fields Mental freedom is everywhere but I´m here Let us think about the sins of our fore-fathers Until we´re reaching the end of our entwined ways My freedom of choice My freedom of love My freedom of expression Yeah, maybe we´re free to die In a moment of transcience In a moment of transcience In a moment of transcience In a moment of transcience My freedom of choice My freedom of love My freedom to live My freedom to give Is my freedom to die

ACCUSATION (written by Markus Vogel & Niklas Taudt, 2013) Distorted sounds the laughing of an overriped generation but the atmosphere of awakening ends just on the next station We are forced to follow the path into the mass of the emotionless souls But are we forced to follow the path into the circle of wrong idols? Wrong compromises remind us strangely to former times if hateful idols are moving swanky through starving lands And they give us the little run some people are begging for while the next fucker starts a new material war Standardized and transformed spured on to self-destruction So, you know, it´s good and right if mankind is felling itself Let your thoughts flow away Open your eyes check out what happens feel how love´s croaking Don´t look away Don´t go away stay with me at this lunatic place Pull it inside and try to go high and let all your thoughts flow away Life is just a sleepwalking dream with a primery power It moves itself through the primeval force of eternal being We are forced to follow the path into the mass of the emotionless souls But are we forced to follow the path into the circle of wrong idols? And they give us the little space some people are begging for while the next fucker starts a new material war Standardized and transformed spured on to self-destruction So, you know, it´s good and right if mankind is felling itself Let your thoughts flow away

POSITIV/NEGATIV (written by Markus Vogel, 2012) Du bist jetzt frei, Du bist jetzt Eins mit Dir Aber Du sitzt in Deinem Sessel und verteidigst Dein kleines Revier Vergiss die Vergangenheit damit Du Dich nicht mehr als Negativ siehst Reiss die Mauern ein geh Deinen Weg bis die Energie versiegt Was ist es nur, was alles so wichtig macht? Was ist es nur, was alles zunichte macht? Du stehst immer noch auf der Bühne genauso wie früher Dein Lächeln wirkt gequält Deine Augen wirken noch viel müder Vergiss die Vergangenheit damit Du Dich nicht mehr als Negativ siehst Und versteh die eigene Sterblichkeit damit Du Deine Angst besiegst Was ist es nur, was alles so wichtig macht? Was ist es nur, was alles zunichte macht? Du bleibst immer ein Teil in meiner verwinkelten Identität Im positiven Sinn einer Welt in der man verdrängt und doch versteht Was ist es nur, was alles so wichtig macht? Was ist es nur, was alles zunichte macht? Du bist jetzt frei, Du bist jetzt Eins mit Dir Aber Du sitzt in Deinem Sessel und verteidigst Dein kleines Revier

APPROXIMATION (written by Markus Vogel, 2011) Spread your ruffled wings Feel the raising wind A star is shining on you A destination in your mind Glide on the invisible shape Climb upon to painful heights A memory is fading away Into a blackened sky Why do you want to fizzle out your light? Why do you want to walk away? Why do you want to tear yourself to pieces? Why don´t you turn back into the joys of life? I hope that I can see you again I hope that I can see you again Unfold my infant longing With your marvellous smile Cheer on my lively growth Stay by my side for a little while Remove your deadly sorrows Unchain your bleeding heart Clean your apathetic point of view I don´t want to live apart Why do you want to fizzle out your light? Why do you want to walk away? Why do you want to tear yourself to pieces? Why don´t you turn back into the joys of life? I hope that I can see you again I hope that I can see you again Unfold my infant longing With your marvellous smile Cheer on my lively growth Stay by my side for a little while Remove your deadly sorrows Unchain your bleeding heart Clean your apathetic point of view I don´t want to live apart I hope that I can see you again I hope that I can see you again I hope that I can see you again I hope that I can see you again
