Solitary Experiments - Future Tense (2018)

How long have you been afraid
Of doing things the wrong way
Until you've gone astray?
How often did you make
The same absurd mistake
Before it was too late?

Every time when I try to forget
Every night when I cry to regret
Every day when I wish you were here
Every time everything feels unreal
Every time when I look in your eyes
Every day I pretend that you're mine
Every night you kiss me goodbye
It still hurts hurts every time but it's fine

How many times do we have
The chance to change the past
And how long does it last?
How much does it still take
Taking control of your own fate
Even if you fail?

Every time when I try to forget
Every night when I cry to regret
Every day when I wish you were here
Every time everything feels unreal

Every time when I try to forget
Every night when I cry to regret
Every day when I wish you were here
Every time everything feels unreal
Every time when I look in your eyes
Every day I pretend that you're mine
Every night you kiss me goodbye
It still hurts hurts every time but it's fine

Every time when I look in your eyes
Every day I pretend that you're mine
Every night you kiss me goodbye
It still hurts hurts every time but it's fine

Guide my way
This world is full of suffering

Unchain my heart
Don't fill it with bitterness
Or tear it apart

Like blood for blood
We belong together here
Right from the start

You build it up and tear it down
Don't fool around

My eyes are blinded so I can't see
No longer listen when you speak
Please forgive me

You lift me up, I tear you down
Things getting started to turn around
Things getting started to turn around

Is this the point of no return?
Is this the point of no return?
The things I always want to achive
Seems so far away and beyond the reach
everything will crash and burn
Everything will crash and burn
And in the end I'll get want I deserve!

Saturated with negativity
I am my own worst enemy
Please set me free
You lift me up, I tear you down
Things getting started to turn around
Things getting started to turn around

Is this the point of no return?
Is this the point of no return?
The things I always want to achive

We're running out of time
And you think about the future
The present and the past

Still waiting for a sign
What is a world without wonders?
Just a place with nothing lasts

All the battles we have lost
All the promisses we've trusted
All the lies that we believed
All the pain we have endured
All diseases can't be cured
All our memories fade away

We're longing for a light
Is there someone to hold on to?
Who protects us from the worst?

Still fighting for our rights
What is a life without meaning
And how to know of someone cares?

All the battles we have lost
All the promisses we've trusted
All the lies that we believed
All the pain we have endured
All diseases can't be cured
All our memories fade away

All the battles we have lost
All the promisses we've trusted
All the lies that we believed
All the pain we have endured
All diseases can't be cured
All our memories fade away

When the storm has not died down
I see dark clouds upon your horizon
You are afraid of losing ground
"You are afraid of losing ground"
Somehow lost and somehow found…

Counting the days of better times
You have so much sacrificed
Don't be afraid, it's not to late
To find shelter in this place
Counting the times of brighter days
It is not a hopeless case
Open your mind and free yourself
From trying to please someone else

Fading traces in the sand
Leaving nothing but your footprints
When your longing has no end
"When your longing has no end"
It is time to break the spell

Counting the days of better times
You have so much sacrificed
Don't be afraid, it's not to late
To find shelter in this place
Counting the times of brighter days
It is not a hopeless case
Open your mind and free yourself
From trying to please someone else

Open your mind and free yourself
From trying to please someone else

Counting the days of better times
You have so much sacrificed
Don't be afraid, it's not to late
To find shelter in this place
Counting the times of brighter days
It is not a hopeless case
Open your mind and free yourself
From trying to please someone else

Open your mind and free yourself
From trying to please someone else

Unaufhörlich rinnt die Zeit
Schlägt der Takt der Ewigkeit
Wie lange wird es mit uns weiter gehen?

Das ganze Leben blind vertraut
Das eigene Glück auf Sand gebaut
Hast du es nicht früher kommen sehen?

Du kannst es nicht fühlen - Du kannst es nicht sehen?
Es ist eine Lüge - Nicht leicht zu verstehen
Verschleiert vom Nebel, geblendet vom Licht
Du suchst nach der Lösung, doch findest sie nicht!
Du kannst es nicht fühlen - Du kannst es nicht sehen?
Es ist eine Lüge - Nicht leicht zu verstehen
Verschleiert vom Nebel, geblendet vom Licht
Du suchst nach der Wahrheit, doch findest sie nicht!

Das Schicksal nimmt nun seinen Lauf
Egal was kommt, nichts hält es auf
Dennoch ist ein Blick voll Zuversicht

Was zählt ein Mensch in Raum und Zeit?
Wunschtraum oder Wirklichkeit?
Lebst du noch in der Vergangenheit?

Du kannst es nicht fühlen - Du kannst es nicht sehen?
Es ist eine Lüge - Nicht leicht zu verstehen
Verschleiert vom Nebel, geblendet vom Licht
Du träumst von der Zukunft, denn sie beherrscht dich!

We need a light that leads us home
We need a goal to carry on
Even if no one cares at all
We take this life for granted

Every time that we feel free…
…we face another tragedy
Maybe we are too blind to see…
…those refugees that only seek
Sanctuary

We need a sense of right and wrong
We need a place where we belong
Even if we are breaking down
You people better should stop planning
We need an anchor for our soul
We need more power to control
Even if there's no hand to hold
Pray for a better understanding

Every time that we feel free…
…we face another tragedy
Maybe we are too blind to see…
…those refugees that only seek
Sanctuary

Sanctuary
Sanctuary
Sanctuary

Every time that we feel free…
…we face another tragedy
Maybe we are too blind to see…
…those refugees that only seek
Sanctuary
Sanctuary
Sanctuary

Full of zest for life
I had the will to win
I only want is to have fun
Forgive that I have sinned
Every single night
I sat or lay awake
Just thinking of who I am
And learning from mistakes

Just thinking of who I am
And learning from mistakes

I am free as longest I believe
The voices in my head are gone
Now I can fall asleep
I am free as longest I believe
The voices in my head are gone
Now I can fall asleep

I closed open doors
To find myself therein
I only wanted to be loved
A childhood-memory
As the years have passed
I felt the urge to reach
Making this world a better place
At least for you and me
Making this world a better place
At least for you and me

I am free as longest I believe
I am free as longest I believe

I am free as longest I believe
The voices in my head are gone
Now I can fall asleep
I am free as longest I believe
The voices in my head are gone
Now I can fall asleep

Trapped in silence
Of long-gone fantasies
Without feelings
Addicted to TV

Hearts are often broken
By words left unspoken
All the time we shared
Plötzlich nichts mehr wert

Is it you or is it me…
…who fights a final war against your own worst enemy?
Can we change our destiny…
…to live a peaceful life on earth in perfect harmony?
Is it you or is it me…
…who fights a final war against your own worst enemy?
Can we change our destiny…
…to live a peaceful life on earth in perfect harmony?

Isolation
Lost in shattered dreams
Chasing shadows
But with no guarantees

Hearts are often broken
By words left unspoken
All the time we shared
Plötzlich nichts mehr wert

Is it you or is it me…
…who fights a final war against your own worst enemy?
Can we change our destiny…

Time is up, trust is broken
Risked too much and choked on it
Life runs fast, words are spoken
Meaningless, no doubt about it
Meaningless, no doubt about it

Answer me!
Why are you lying to me?
I beg you urgently, tell me the truth!
Answer me!
What have you done to me?
What was it worth to draw the final stroke?

What a waste, no time for yearning
And when the rain begins to fall
There's no way back and you will be drowning
Left here with nothing, nothing at all
Left here with nothing, nothing at all

Answer me!
Why are you lying to me?
I beg you urgently, tell me the truth!
Answer me!
What have you done to me?
What was it worth to draw the final stroke?

At the end of the days
The stars will guide you
To your final destination
Where we will meet again

There's no difference where we come from
What we search or wherever we go…

Like a phoenix out of the ashes we will grow
Like the magic of a moment you'll never know
In our darkest times trought the rain and thought the storm
Over borders and beyond…

At the end of all roads
Dead silence surrounds you
The only thing that I know
It will never be the same

There's no difference where we come from
What we search or wherever we go…

Like a phoenix out of the ashes we will grow
Like the magic of a moment you'll never know
In our darkest times trought the rain and thought the storm
Over borders and beyond…
