In the twilight, they come
They settle into my heart
They settle into my heart
But I know
They won’t go
And fighting them, there’s no chance
I try to fight, but I have no chance
Why can’t I shut it down
Get away from my mind?
Because once they start to come
All I want to do is run
I want to hide from it all
But where would I even go?
When will it be over?
When will I become someone?
In the nighttime, they chase me down
They tie me up and hold me
They beat me up and bind me
But I’m strong
I endure
I hold my tears from falling
But I can’t stop the tears from coming out
I wonder all the time
Does anyone ever really care?
I need to escape my mind
Run away from here
Because the monsters in my head
Are too much to bear
The time is ticking
And I’m still waiting
When will I be wanted?
When will I be wanted at all?
The rain in my heart
Drowns the thoughts in my head
But the words in my mind
Keep swimming around my bed
I’m stranded on this island
Of loneliness and silence
And the only thing that keeps me company
Is the sound of the waves crashing in my sleep
I wonder all the time
Why should I even care at all?
I need to break free from these chains
That keep weighing me down
And only then
Will my true self be found
And then I’ll throw all of my worries
For the wind to pass on
Then I’ll finally be loved
And only then I’ll finally be loved by me

Hello, November

Another month passes by
And my heart spins into another phase
My breath’s cut short
As I stare into your bright blue gaze
All of my thoughts blur together
I can’t see clearly anymore
And then I start to wonder whether
You’re really worth fighting for
How did we get so far so fast?
But even then, we’re still not close enough
Can you hear the beats of my thoughts
As I try to find the truth in your bluffs?
Hello, November
What pain do you bring this year?
Hello, November
Glad to see you’re finally here
Woke up next morning, to find you were gone
Was it a dream? Or did you just leave?
Your scent still lingered as you stole my love away
While I stayed here, curled up in my bed, to sleep
Constantly at war with myself
When will the flag be raised?
All the while I’m just standing here
Counting down the days
Hello, November
What pain do you bring this year?
Hello, November
Glad to see you’re finally here
Hello, my lover
Will you come see me soon?
I’ll be here waiting
Until the next full moon
And for a second, everything was at a standstill
But can I find that inner will?
Am I just blinded by ambitions or living in a dream?
Nothing’s ever really as it seems
Well then, I’ll cast my wish upon the stars
And then we’ll see exactly how far I can go
Farewell, my darling
It was nice while it lasted
Please don’t forget me
I hope to see you again
Hello, November
I have one more request
Take care my darling
Gets all the best
Hello, November
Goodbye, November

Trapped between the notes
The words, the beats, the everything
Sailing on this boat
With perfect 6/8 harmony
Listen to your heart
And wake your mind up to the world
Drifting far apart
While watching all the lyrics swirl…
The music grabs me and won’t let me go
Hey DJ, bring it back up, not too slow
I can’t help that I just wanna dance
So let me set it free, throw it all on chance
Can’t sleep, won’t sleep, gotta hit the floor
Feel the beat beat-beating ‘round
It’s too late, ‘cause I’m infected
And I don’t want the cure at all
The cord wraps around my feet
And keeps tightening
Don’t stop, though, keep it going
Pulsing through my body
Taken by the music
And awakened at night
I don’t want to go back
‘Cause it just feels so right
The music grabs me and won’t let me go
Hey DJ, bring it back up, not too slow
I can’t help that I just wanna dance
So let me set it free, throw it all on chance
Can’t sleep, won’t sleep, gotta hit the floor
Feel the beat beat-beating ‘round
It’s too late, ‘cause I’m infected
And I don’t want the cure at all
And in the morning, it hurts (the hangover hurts)
But it feels too good to let go
It may even kill me (turn the music up louder)
But it’ll still be one hell of a show
I may never sleep again
‘Cause I’m infected by the music, music
I will never dream again
But I don't wanna go back anymore
Well, I’ll keep dancing in the dark
And singing to the stars
Till my last dying days
At the end of all the wars
The bass pumps my blood
Stains the air that I breathe
Raise your hands as you move
Show your hearts on your sleeves
The bass pumps the floor
Wipes away any doubt
Clap your hands as you dance
While I bow myself out
((SHUT UP AND DANCE!!))
No sleep tonight
No more for me
No need to sleep anymore…

Throw another heads-down penny into the bank
‘Cause it feels like I never get a break
It works out so well for you, but never for me
I trip over sunshine and choke on air
I look up and get blinded by the glare
I want things to change, so I plea
Why do we believe what we’re told
When we’re told that it works?
Why do we do what we do
When all it does is leave us hurt?
So cut my ears one more time
And I’ll have another go
In the end, I’ll be alright
Because the only way to go is up to the top
I’ll see you when I get there
This time, it’s my turn to try my luck
Going left on a right one-way
Getting sick over the holidays
Everyone else has all the luck
When’s it my turn?
Why do things blow up in my face
When I try to fix it?
(Why does my life suck? Can things get any worse??)
So cut my hands one more time
And I’ll have another go
In the end, I’ll be alright
Because the only way to go is up to the top
I’ll see you when I get there
This time, it’s my turn to try my luck
Maybe if I wish for once
Something will go right
I’m looking for that feeling
So I can hold onto it tight
So let the cards read my future
And let the stars read my night
I’ll keep a pinch of salt in my hand
And run from everything in sight
Make a wish, take the leap
Falling into the deep
So cut my ears once again
And I’ll take my chance
If the world should end, then I’ll simply dance my way to the top
This time, it’s my turn to try my luck
