lyrics

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
