no raindrops, just rain not a melancholic warmth with tea in your hand on sick days, just pain no light at the end of the tunnel, just darkness I'm running in no hope at the end of the day, you fall asleep with the same trouble haunting you, since you're awake no sunny intervalls just clouds covering the sky and no lightning comes with thunder just the rumble of a dark night all those pessimism seems so cliche and better forecasts can't help me I try not to wait for the tide but I didn't see the open sea for a while no rainbow to come undone still moving on with the thunder away from the sun so how to deal with adicts when darkness is your habit how could you see the light when you damned it I can't tell you about the mist I can't see through but I would like you to ask me about it though I can't tell you what will be after the storm but I would like you to tell me what I hide from I can't tell you about the mist I can't see through but I would like you to ask me though I can't tell you about the sunshine lighting the dark but I would like you to tell me where I fell apart

if we don't run from here we'll die here if we don't run from here we'll die here if we don't run from here we'll die here if we don't run from here we'll die here if we don't run from here we'll die here if we don't run from here we'll die here if we run from here we'll die anywhere distance, run, arrival, done, look back, regret how far is too far, how far is enough flash back, nothing is left standing still, distance is relative the circle of life surounds all our lies if we close our eyes away from here, there's still the same eroding fear if we just close our eyes, the world won't dissappear

white soul, black hole, there's no failing in my dreams when I sleep, when I dream, everything seems peacefully I wake up my hands are numb my arms are weak my mind is bleached these rain drops days upon me and no shelter there to reach I'm never going to see the blue ocean like it used to be with every mile that I walk I at least don't need to admit I'm walking way too far because I already did and I'm going on with the waste, through the dirt and the days the taste of dust in the lungs and I know I will never breath like when I was young turn back time, I want to hide, I want to be where life can't find me I need to clean this soul, if there is something like this I was so inncocent, I ain't no saint turn back clocks and tell this kid, if you leave now you can never come back turn back clocks and tell this kid, if you leave now you can never come home I'm in this glasshouse of sorrows and blackouts i threw a stone but there's no wall I cut my skin off to death but the numbness was in my flesh I was supposed to be free but I built a house, a house with no doors to leave I got this black soul and the past but even if it's relative I can't turn back - time someday I'll stop to stray and I'll say to myself I'm just human, it's okay so your hands are a little dirty – but so are mine

unburdened, reckless life means to fail an empty page another chance the one will grow that does and makes humans will always give and take and who could be a ghost this time as long as you live you'll laugh and cry a broken heart that can be healed everything in you is about to feel happyness only real when shared so don't hide yourself inside your bed if you don't touch you cannot break you cannot speak if you don't say and what I learned in time so far is that I am and that you are so take a breath and your lungs get filled life's waiting my friend you are already late

with shivering knees I am staying on roseman's bridge knocked down by the enhanting smell of sweet indifference I can feel the blood is running out of my nose a metallic taste of iron passion covers my lips as a symbol of joy and satisfaction it permits me to suspire in a sea of self doubts I've found self awareness in the safety of uncertainty I am trapped in hope in the brightest darkness I've learned to understand the matter look the bloody clock has lost its hands let us watch it burn can you feel how our lungs get filled with smoke it get purged from an unrealized desire deadlock couldn't occure to a better time what scared me once currently I need the most hoping that time won't find us too quickly hoping that we can stay on that roseman's bridge for a little while longer

Timer (live) 03:59
I'm waiting for the storm to clean up everything I could not built I could have been so much more but could have are just other words for not happened will I ever start something I can really finish someday I will rise up from my mess but what happens with that and so my day starts a little later than yours and i hope it will before it's eve sometimes times are hard and there will come times you've got to look back and you have to make sure you learned out of your mistakes, not regrets I got to change my way of thinking, stop hiding, stop leaving, stop running, stop complaining, stop cheating and start being so I stop wearing this mask of acting like anyone else in this world the day I ran from my mistakes I even lost myself this is the reunion of a boy that parted ways with himself

the world scares me lying here at night thinking about a possible bomb that destructs all life and I'm feeling that heat in my body the fear of non-existence of disappearence and no one can remember when no one is left I'm trying to be strong all is breakable at the moment there is love, there is life, there is beauty out there but the evanesence of all, makes daydreams to nightmares and I wish this world will exist in hundreds of years or some afterlife is there, I don't want to disappear without any kind of memory, I want something to count on I want something to remember me or what i did when there is not even a heartbeat left so shall I forget that shall I forget

since when do thoughts got a weight since when does emptyness need so much space since when does summer feel so cold it was never our song that I've sung everyone's got post-tour depression, now I don't feel so alone I'd like to upend the world, throwing water into stones the leaves shed their tree from down below the sky is too big another step another grave I don't see sun so how to see space the glass is half empty I've never seen it with different eyes I think I have enough but I still cannot stop
9.
love is lovely but reality tells another story our words are still the same but we do speak in different languages "I will never lie to myself again", I wrote once - it was a lie as always my words are painting things in grey even the brightest colour seems to be colourless some days ago, I drew a picture out of emotions surrounded by arms that kept me breathing pictures are fading, bombs are still ticking and to be honest, these arms left me breathless even though I never believed in gods and masters I was building up a throne some days ago I've built it as high as the highest mountain so it was hard to reach it for anyone I've always thought it's giving me a basement to keep the progress going on but I recognized that if I want to avoid a stagnation I have to tear down this throne but I won't say goodbye cause I've never been welcome and I won't close this chapter did you read it? it's about us for a long time we walked the same path although there has never been a common direction for sure I will keep walking this path nevertheless which direction you'll choose I won't say goodbye cause goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting
10.
at the end we are alone now and then I have to learn that everyone will turn away someday it's getting harder to light up my dark heart inside too much loss has overcome my life and I want to trust and love and shine but the fear it keeps me trembling so I am scared to lose again everything that I am and I want to grow without any fear on the hopes that we planted in hearts my dear so tell me one last time that nothing comes to an end that there is something more than fighting that there is something that we share so dear love can we ever be sure or is this life to be insecure
11.
one more time with feelings raise your hearts into the air one more stranger that steals a part of you and disappears no easy way, not ever too fast again, just trying to hold on something I'm sure about so much love to give and no one to deserve it they don't change all of them leaving the same way my life is a mess and so are you, I guess please fuck my life for one more night you don't need me tomorrow I'll keep you in mind trivial love at first sight

broken bottles, deaf ears friday nights, some memories disappear finding glory in hopeless times in the consume of the concert lights in the spotlight of a nightsky in the dreams of a drunken boy the importance of a moment and the feeling of family every golden time has its end there are so many ways, life means change we can't stuck in a memory but we can always remember what we had life does its job you've just realized we all grow up good to know all of you good to know we know each other I'm glad we didn't keep it on surface friendship is a worthy reason to live for and all the memories the shit we've done - embarrissing times I'm glad we can still talk about it times change, true friends stay and years passed by

about

This is the set from our farewell show. It contains a lot of unrecorded, unpublished songs.
It's not perfect. We had have issues with the microphone cable at the beginning and we messed up some of the tunes. But it doesn't have to be perfect, it's "Life".
Feel free to purchase whatever you want to or don't.
Dearest has been a great experience for us. Thank you for giving it some attention.

Exclusive Track: "Years passed by"
written by Dearest feat. Florian Schaller
lyrics written by Chris
recorded by Christian Kasperbauer
mixed and edited by Chris
"Years passed by" had been one of our very first songs. It was part of our setlist for quite a long time. The song was planned to be part of our debut "Discovery", but we simply sucked so much on recording it that we were highly recommended not to put it on the EP. Christian Kasperbauer, who recorded this track (as well as our whole debut EP) sent us the raw tracks. You can get the idea and we wish we'd have a better recording of it...
