Run away from your greatest fears Wipe away all the wasted tears You can't show What a show Hide your face hide you whole despair Hide the pain, let it disappear In your eyes In the night Wander off next to the river but don't go off the moonlit way Because oh sweet heartbroken hunter you are nothing but the prey For the demons that are waiting for you luring in the dark Waiting for the moment that you lose your last path And lose your spark that will never reignite The fire never tired of the spark of life But the demons found their way into your heart Pushing you into the flood out of the dark And you are drowning, drowning, sinking to the ground But I will get you out, out, out, out, out I will get you out CHORUS Let us get emotional tonight Let us believe, let us cry, let us try again The irrational high price for a moonlight night, a moonlight night Oh, let me take an oath before you and our ghosts That I will not leave your side in this moonlight night I'm going crazy Oh, I'm going crazy I'm losing my, losing my, losing my mind Oh, I crave you baby Oh, I crave you baby I crave touch, crave your love, crave your heart I am sick of it, sick of it I'm sick of swallowing, swallowing All that I'm feeling deep down to my bones My heart beats quicker than it's ever been The stars are flickering, flickering And I start to scream! CHORUS 2 Let us get emotional tonight Let us believe, let us cry, let us try again The irrational high price for a moonlight night, a moonlight night Oh, let me take an oath before you and our ghosts That I will not leave your side in this moonlight night Let me take you in like the pills you're swallowing Change the trouble for delight in this moonlight night Change the tears for a laugh Turn your fear into love Change your cries for a smile in this moonlight night

Get up and let the show begin Show me what you got Release the animal within Release your other side CHORUS And the crowd goes: Rumdumdum dum dadadadada darumdumdumdadada Rumdumdum rum dadadadada dadadadadada Welcome to the circus Welcome to your new home They got everything you needed But you didn't even know Come closer take a step ahead You are their favourite prisoner They're watching you like demons Attracted irresistible CHORUS 2 And your heart beats: Rumdumdum dum dadadadada darumdumdumdadada Rumdumdum rum dadadadada dadadadadada Dadadada dadadada dadadadadada Rumdumdum rum dadadadada dada Oh, I know you feel this desire driving you insane, this... ...wildfire spreading through your veins, this... ...satire that your life became, this... ...amplifier for your deepest pain and ... ...those dreams of brutalty, let... ...them be your reality Sharpen your claws and show your teeth The blood pumps of the blood stream Let the animal reveal Bite them, scratch them, let them feel How it feels to drown in tears What it means to live in... ...fear, fear! Bite them, scratch them, let them feel What it means to live in... ...fear, fear! Bite them, scratch them let, them feel What it means to live in fear

Molotov Love 01:58
My love is dangerous For me and everyone else And if you're scared of the dark in the night I'm your spark to ignite your heart My heart is venomous It is poisened and your heart, it is the antidote Would you be so generous, give me all your tenderness and I give you everything I have And if your love would be a riot, oh then I'd be throwing stones If you set the sky on fire, oh then I will light the clouds If you gonna bring the chaos you will never be alone And we will go on 'til there's noone to dethrone CHORUS My love is like a molotov cocktail on ice If it breaks out you should run and hide But if wanna play with fire then you gotta come to me And if it's that what you desire I'm the match and you're the gasoline Your love is murderous You've poisend me so effortless You've got my heart in your hand and I can't even tell what you want from me Your love is obnoxious, but tastes like wine With a little bit of poison that's what I like You are the eternal flame in my everfrost and you are melting my heart but at what cost? Cause, you are setting me free But are you sure, that you can tame the beast? CHORUS 2 My love is like a molotov cocktail on ice If it breaks out you should run and hide But if wanna play with fire then you gotta come to me And if it's that what you desire I'm the match and you're the gasoline ...and you're the gasoline ...and you're the gasoline!

Emerald Eyes 03:50
Oh, I wanna look into this head of yours 'Cause I wanna know for sure If there's a demon hiding behind your blonde fassade Now I look behind these emerald eyes To see if you're telling lies Cause, I can't read the words when I try to read your face Cause, oh, my god you are my metal queen Let me be your king and imma give everything and Oh, dear lord you are a valkyrie And I will die for you cause that means that we'll meet on the battlefield CHORUS Let me melt your armor Made of blue ice Just give me another look with your two emerald eyes Imma be your amor Will you be my valentine? Just give me another look with your two emerald eyes Oh, I wanna look into this heart of yours 'Cause I wanna know for sure If there is room for me for all my love and even more Wanna look into your mortal soul Because I just wanna know What secrets you are hiding from the sunlight after all Oh, my god, you're driving me insane Waking up at 4 a.m. just crying out your name, girl Oh, dear lord, you're fucking with my brain The thought of us turns on and off with ever word you say CHORUS Just give me another look with your two emerald eyes!

Incredible 03:58
What is this feeling inside my chest? It's beating faster, beating faster, it is beating me dead I have a guess Oh I have met you, some weeks ago And I don't know, yeah I don't know, oh, I don't even know Your favourite show And as the time goes past in the blink of an eye I'm talking still fast by the end of the night 'Cause I need you more than sleep And as the day goes on and I think of you All my worries gone, only thing to do is to talk to you All night long CHORUS You're making me feel big, oh, mountains tall You're making me feel special All you need is talk and I fade away 'Cause you are making me feel... ...incredible! Oh yeah this feeling, don't know its name 'Cause after all, yeah, after all my love is still a game Turned on and off Maybe I'm rushing, but that' just me But listen close, yeah listen close, oh, listen close to me To my words All your flaws are making you better If you're cold you can have my sweater by the way And in my eyes there can never Be someone like you! 2x Chorus

Neon Pink 03:26
CHORUS And oh, I'm headed downtown to the places that I love The places I once loved, but they're tainted pink I'm divin' deep down, I'm diving to the ground And everything that you left to sink is tainted neon pink And now that we are mixing colours and I see you... ...with your bloodred lips, lick your fingertips And though I'm always on the run, I'm running from you Because the bittersweet pain stops the deep green paint to drain And I wear nostalgia as my make up Oh, there's no chance to make up For everything that you left in me, I'm... ...drowning in another cup Drown in another love That I am painting with my masochistic mastermind And when I wear my rose coloured glasses I'm seeing rose coloured ashes... ...of the burned down house of our past time vows, I'm... ...burning in red hot passion I haven't learned my lesson When you play with fire, don't you bring the gasoline? CHORUS And oh I'm, I'm reeking from the chemicals That burn me deep down, deep down in my bones, in my soul, I... ...can't push you from that pedestal That I put you on such long time ago And oh I'm, I'm reeking from the chemicals That burn me deep down, deep down in my bones, in my soul, I... ...can't push you from that pedestal That I put you on such long time ago CHORUS

Oh, I've been down So many bottles About to drown In my sweet sorrow And as I slowly got the feels again A smile it hit my face my friend I think I need help And as we're dancing all night long to our favourite song I know I must be dreaming, because I can't even dance CHORUS But I have the right! Have the right to miss you I have the right to shed a tear when I smell your perfume, but it isn't you I have the right to crave your touch I have the right to miss you sleeping next to me Even though sleeping next to me means I can't sleep Oh and I know I'm not making it better I'm making it worse But when the remote is stuck on pause No applause and nothing but silence after all Of course I'll be wanting more But I am insatiable full of love But don't you worry please it's enough in anyway Cause you got your problems, so do I And I am hard to love because I'm quite the romantic That can be overwhelming But til I can tell you... CHORUS 2 I have the right Have the right to miss you I have the right to shed a tear when I smell your perfume but it isn't you I have the right to crave your touch I have the right to miss you sleeping next to me even though sleeping next to me means I can't sleep... ...myself, but neither can I without you Neither can I without you Neither can I without you

Can you see, the rain is falling on my weary face Surrounded by the cold, trapped inside this place I'm standing here, I'm standing there, but I just cannot see The friend who will release me and be the home for me Tonight the sky is sparkling nice, no darker clouds are seen The wind is blowing through the leaves, creating calm and peace But the one is missing, the one is missing, who shows me something rife The one who's standing close to me, staying at my side CHORUS When the sun goes down, but no moonlight shines Take me by the hand, lead me through this night Join my way and promise that you try to keep this lines And try to sing along to the song of our lives As soon as I just return home, I can't resist 'cause now I'm alone My feigned mask it starts to fall, the dusk begins, I'm forced to crawl. I'm... ...drowning in my tangled mind, my heart it strains to find All the cheery things I left behind So far I used to spend my time for other souls and selling mine Such a bleaky place to live, where everyone forgives You greet my love and my power fades, my deeds were all betrayed Finding out the guilt is in vain Now I'm walking through the time, days and weeks are passing by Our music stopped in the dance hall, so take me to the Dreamer's Ball Oh, God I need you by my side, I need my saving light The light of the stars shining bright But I know, I have to let you go... Where are you, my dear? I lost you in our sorrow and our fear How are you? Do not forget our love Taking care of our shattered souls with everything we got So is this what I deserved? Your savior left in our misery Left at the edge of our path One broken for your victory? Oh, will I find it? One love, one oath, never apart Come and sing along to the song of our heart CHORUS

Long time ago I was pretty proud of myself I was pretty proud of myself for one specific reason and you should know that I wasn't very proud of myself that often, what makes this story even sadder. So lean back and enjoy... Oh, you should picture me as a teen I am crying, I will never get a girlfriend Seems kinda plausible There's this girl that I liked With her blonde hair and a pretty smile Oh, her blue eyes Oh it's the first time that I think: She has this cute smile but says these smart things She is not just a puppet with a pretty little face Not just a statue that I pray to every single day Eureka! Eureka! I discovered something new! Eureka! She's a human too! CHORUS Oh, I'm a superficial individual And I don't think that's doing myself good It's a pretty, vicious superstition 'Cause no one is as perfect as he looks 'Cause we're all just crooked little trees But who the fuck said we need to be perfect? And maybe we're pretty, but pretty is the new fucked up Oh, I have never read much But I've listened though to all the stories that I got told And I have learned that If you wanna be liked by everyone that you hide yourself And you become a knight in armor shining bright just a plastic action figure They only see your looks so that is what you try, you try to show them what they like And after all you get bitter After all you get bitter And you look, only look on their outsides too You are shook, yeah you are shook by your own shallowness That's what they made you to... And yes, yes, you are correct to suspect that now normally the chorus would follow but hold up a minute, ok? Because I know that my mind is pretty poisoned and a little fucked up after all, but it's easy to just say: "It's not my fault!" Blame it on society and cry alone while not doing something about it. But I wanna do something about it! I'm eighteen for gods fucking sake and I don't want to ruin my life before it even started! I wanna do something about it and I will! Maybe I'll go to therapy and until then... , maybe I'll will write a few sad songs about how badly I feel but that's ok because I feel I feel and all those emotions want to go out, spread out and live and so do I I don't wanna waste my life in my head I think I forget something... CHORUS 2 ...superficial individual And I don't think that's doing myself good It's a pretty, vicious superstition 'Cause no one is as perfect as he looks 'Cause we're all just crooked little trees But who the fuck said we need to be perfect? And maybe we're pretty, but pretty is the new fucked up The new fucked up! The new fucked up...

about

The album resembles drifting away into sleep and every song is a different dream. Its about sleeping at the edge of dreams and nightmares between melancholic romanticism, reflecting the past and the tales of the dark. With songs that capture the emotional depths of falling in love, trying to stand up after getting thrown to the ground and learning from lessons of the past.
