By lurking voices we were soothed into nothingness,
telling our secret names into known venusian flytrap´s ears.
So the stench that is crawling over blue waves has the same origin as before...
As lost children we turned ourselves around, as if we could have the other one.
Time alone will tell if I can find out!
Time alone will show if there´s a prettier face than yours!
Lead me astray, I cried as you turned cold...
But is there anything like a philosopher´s stone? To transform the lead in your heart, so that we won´t sink to the bottom anymore.
You disappeared just as I turned around, smothered with kisses I´d like to recieve.
Now you´re a sweet memory mirrored in saltwater, I wish you had taught me all of the way!
Come disappear once more...straight to the ocean´s ground
You´ll know when I´m here for you, so light up your fires that you can be found!
(Cause now I´m imbecile I search for you when I´m breathing through your gills!)
As I awoke alone, memories seemed to fade!
In my heart burns an image of desire!
Stripped and naked I felt before you, freezing in ocean´s icy deeps. Mumbling your name...how I wish to forget my source...to lose myself where you are now!
I´m scattered here, you´ve seen my veiled flaws,
and everything I can do is longing for you!
Come disappear once more...straight to the ocean´s ground
You´ll know when I´m here for you, so light up your fires that you can be found!
(Cause now I´m imbecile I search for you when I´m breathing through your gills!)
And in the sound of waves crashing in, all of the battleships are going down!
You´re on top of all wishes mountains, as real as fire on the oceans ground!
