lyrics

We left with arms wide open, not knowing what it meant
The end of the beginning, beginning of the end.
I’m sick of all the sad old songs, lack any inspiration,
Said my farewell to summer, fear winter will be cold.

That night that I strolled down my old and lonesome road
I watched her vanish in the dusk, felt sad for summer to depart,
Feared autumn might get lonely, knew winter would be cold.

And now you’re gone like summer’s gone and winter it got cold indeed.
As cold-clear as my mind.
As ice-cold as my heart.

I tend to sing the things I can’t say, don’t dare to share the fear that I feel
When people come too close or close their arms around me.

Be that puppet they need, they drain and abuse
Till they toss you aside like a rubber just used.
Feed them with a warm but empty word,
If you ask for repay you’ll just fetch an excuse.
Be that hero you always wanted to be,
That gentle and nice, that decent and good.
That sensitive soul, that outstanding fool, that pleases their pleasures, not yours.

Get fed like a junkie but starve like a beggar, just listen, notice and understand,
Don’t utter a word, don’t leave a comment – that’s too judgemental.
Work – till you wear your bones off.

A blink, a glimpse, a heartbeat, a curse cast your shadows down on the walls.
Raise all your fears and misconcerns that have betrayed you for so long.
Life only a hollow notion, some blurry vision far beyond.
Throw up your courage, swallow your tongue,
Poison your mind, lock down your heart.
Till you drop down all alone to the bottom of an

Empty hole inside my chest, shattered like a broken bottle.
Displaced, hopeless and lost. You’re picture frame an empty slot.
Wasted time on taken hearts, trying to erase the past,
Empty words betray each promise, say

Why Do You Hate Me With Your Love?
Don’t show the fear I feel when people get to lose,
Embrace the lines I emphasise when the emptiness surrounds me.

A blink, a glimpse, a heartbeat, a curse cast your shadows down on the walls.
Raise all your fears and misconcerns that have betrayed you for so long.
Life only a hollow notion, some blurry vision far beyond.
Throw up your courage, swallow your tongue,
Poison your mind, lock down your heart.
Till you drop down all alone to the bottom of an empty ocean.

Be that cushion they sink in, that bracing they bleed in.
That anchor they embrace, that damn number in their calculation.

A blink, a glimpse, a heartbeat, a curse cast your shadows down on the walls.
Raise all your fears and misconcerns that have betrayed you for so long.
Life only a hollow notion, some blurry vision far beyond.
Throw up your courage, swallow your tongue,
Poison your mind, lock down your heart.
Till you drop down all alone
To the bottom of an empty ocean.
To the bottom of an empty ocean.
Till you drop down all alone to the bottom of an empty ocean.

about

Nilo Crow Munich, Germany

"Where were you when the Thunder came, the everlasting storm? And when they disappeared again, this nothingness was born.
Your days are dark, your nights are bright – but mine they are both grey."
And so a man walks down the road, with nothing on his mind.
"So who are you?" – and he replies: "I told you, I don't know. I've lost my voice, I've dropped my words, the melody of rain."
