I’m in a place between this earth and hell (earth and hell)
I’m not quite alright if you can tell (you can tell)
This battle with these shadows in my head
An endless fight and never ending dread
Right now I only see what I can’t attain
No focus and a bunch of mistakes
A state I’m too used living in
Nothing’s new, I still don’t win
Please end this quickly, quickly, quickly
I don’t feel safe,
in this place I’m in, I can feel that I can’t
change
’Cause I -
I have lost control
I have lost control
Again and again
Work it out
A lack of hope and no self-discipline
Imprisoned and no serotonin
Such a wrack that’s been stuck in this place
So many things that I’d wish to embrace
A state I’m too used living in
Nothing’s new, I still don’t win
And it’s killing me slowly, slowly, slowly
I don’t feel safe,
in this place I’m in I can feel that I can’t
change
’Cause I - oh I have to
Stay
For the ones I love and all I strive for
I don’t wanna lose control, again
I have lost control again and again
I’m breaking down
Head straight through a wall
Looking for a cure
Fuck, I don’t wanna do this anymore
Could please just shut up
Shut up
Everything shatters
Nothing matters anymore
I don’t feel safe
in this place I’m in I can feel that I can’t
change
’Cause I - oh I have to
Stay
For the ones I love and all I strive for
I - I have lost control
I have lost control again
And again and again and again

Malphas

Hands are wrapping around my neck - again
A really tight grip I can’t fight back - I can’t
They block my air I can hardly breathe - in
I am begging but they won’t release - me
Give me time - to go uphill
But right now - I’m on a treadmill
Every move - is a setback
All I try - is a misstep
Oh my god I have wasted
too much time with this hatred
I’m really losing my patience
I’m possessed by a Malphas
I get pushed down to stay close to hell - and burn
I feel so crushed this is my farewell
When I stand up the ground turns to dust
There’s no support, I’ve given up
Oh my god I have wasted
too much time with this hatred
I’m really losing my patience,
it’s been ruling me for ages
Tell me who I could have been,
without this chaos in my brain
I’m really losing my patience
I’m possessed by a Malphas
You’re possessed by a Malphas
You’re possessed by a Malphas
Decay
Brick by brick
It takes all hope from me, me, me
Give me time - to go uphill
But right now - I’m on a treadmill
All I try - leaves me hopeless
Oh my god I have wasted
too much time with this hatred
I’m really losing my patience,
it’s been ruling me for ages
Tell me who I could have been,
without this chaos in my brain
I’m really losing my patience
I’m possessed by a Malphas
I’m possessed by a Malphas
I’m possessed by a Malphas
Malphas
I’m possessed by a Malphas

Panic Paralysis

I can’t think straight
Once again I am late
I make many mistakes
I really don’t feel that great
Nobody might see, that daily fight I have with me
My head works like an anarchy
It consumes all my energy
There should be a way to fix this,
’cause I’m slowly at my limit
I’m terrified
I can’t move, can’t think, it’s like I’m
Paralyzed
but I – keep fighting,
I keep fighting my own mind
Keep fighting, I keep fighting my own mind
But I keep fighting, I keep fighting
I achieved so many dreams,
but I’m still useless as it seems
I have no power over me,
it’s like a god damn lottery
Can I mute the noise inside my head,
which always leads to being sad
A cycle I’m so tired of, might fall asleep to shut it off
Trying to control it
But I guess I am an unfit
I’m terrified
I can’t move, can’t think, it’s like I’m
Paralyzed
but I –
keep fighting, I keep fighting
I'm stuck in slow motion
I can’t change a thing
I feel like frozen
Can’t move or think and I -
Keep fighting, I keep fighting my own mind
But I keep fighting, I keep fighting my own mind
So help me out of this state
I don’t like living this way
I feel like I’m going insane
Forever stuck in this tragedy but I’ll never obey
I’m terrified
I can’t move, can’t think, it’s like I’m
Paralyzed
but I –
keep fighting, I keep fighting
I'm stuck in slow motion
I can’t change a thing
I feel like frozen
Can’t move or think and I -
Keep fighting, I keep fighting my own mind
But I keep fighting, I keep fighting my own mind
But I, But I, But I
But I keep fighting, I keep fighting my own mind

,,No abortion, you obey“
So many women in their way
,,No abortion, you obey“
So many women in their way
You like my body and you watch – but I don’t want to
,,well if you dress that way it’s almost like I’m forced to“
Scan me from head to toe and zoom in on my tattoos
I want to tell you, you should really, really fuck you
If I confront you, can you say it to my face?
Will this world ever become a somewhat called ,,safe place“?
I got so tired of hiding, so I keep fighting
If I was a man would you talk to me the same way?
,,No abortion, you obey“
They got power and we pray
So many women in their way,
but they’ll do it anyway
She is brave, he is scared,
of a world full of change,
everything shall be retained
How many tears need to be cried?
How many tears need to be cried, for this world to finally be alright?
You got lust, you take space,
you adore my „pretty face“
So you shout out all aroused
,,I want to rip off all your clothes“
How I hate the way you sound
'Cause no matter how the hell I’m walking around,
you can never say these words out loud
Go make a fool of yourself
It’s almost funny as hell
You don’t know shit about me,
but my gender’s enough
To lose respect while you speak,
I should just „get on my knees“
Sorry it’s 2024
I can’t take this anymore
,,No abortion, you obey“
They got power and we pray
So many women in their way,
but they’ll do it anyway
She is brave, he is scared,
of a world full of change,
everything shall be retained
How many tears need to be cried?
How many tears need to be cried, for this world to finally be alright?
You got lust, you take space,
you adore my „pretty face“
So you shout out all aroused
,,I want to rip off all your clothes“
I hate the way you sound
'Cause no matter how I’m walking around,
you can never say these words out loud,
you can never say these words out loud
,,No abortion, you obey“
So many women in their way,
She is brave
In a world full of change
How many tears need to be cried?
,,No abortion, you obey“
They got power and we pray
So many women in their way,
but they’ll do it anyway (How many tears need to be cried?)
She is brave, he is scared,
of a world with too much change, everything shall be retained
How many tears need to be cried? How many tears need to be cried?
How many tears need to be cried? How many tears need to be cried,
for this world to finally be alright?

Dreamstate

I’m magnetically attracted to my bed (to my bed)
I can’t get up, I’m just like frozen, I feel upset (I feel upset)
I feel so numb, I feel so drained
No motivation, no dopamine
What’s the point of staying here?
I’m in a deep sleep,
where nobody needs me
A different space, full of grace
So much safety in this silence
I’m in a dreamstate
For once I don’t feel so afraid
Where all this weight is gone
Nobody’s gonna wake me up
Nobody’s gonna wake me up
Nobody’s gonna wake me up
I feel so empty, I can’t cry
and my best friend is the night
Sometimes every feeling hits
all these feelings that I miss
Happiness just lasts for seconds
then I feel just like a wrack again
I am angry, I’m upset
How am I still not happy yet
I’m in a deep sleep,
where nobody needs me
A different space, full of grace
So much safety in this silence
I’m in a dreamstate
For once I don’t feel so afraid
Where all this weight is gone
Nobody’s gonna wake me up
Nobody’s gonna wake me up
Nobody’s gonna wake me up
If I said I’m doing better now
I’d be lying to your face
I’ve been through so much coldness
Now I’m left feeling disgrace
I wish that I was stronger now,
I already gave my best
It’s so hard to find some faith these days
Barely any power’s left
If these thoughts would just shut down
I feel angry and alone
I feel angry and alone
I feel so angry and alone
I’m in a deep sleep,
where nobody needs me
I’m in a dreamstate
For once I don’t feel so afraid
Where all this weight is gone
Nobody’s gonna wake me up
I’m in a deep sleep,
where nobody needs me (Nobody’s gonna wake me up)
A different space, full of grace
So much safety in this silence
I’m in a dreamstate
For once I don’t feel so afraid
Where all this weight is gone
Nobody’s gonna wake me up
Nobody’s gonna wake me up
Nobody’s gonna wake me up

Decarabia
How can you save a life,
when there’s no hope that you can see
How can I set things right,
with no excitement and no dreams
How can I help your life,
when my pain is just as deep
I barely feel alive,
but there’s a promise I need to keep
We’re really out of light,
but you are everything I need
We are dancing to the voice of Decarabia
I’m so in trance, your love get’s me so high
We are dancing to the voice of Decarabia
You’re just like a drug, I never wanna be sober
Decarabia
Decarabia
Decarabia
Will this demon still get us if we endeavor?
Are there coming days when we’ll be better?
Covered in stones and fallen feathers
He dug grave for both of us together
A silent place where we will stay forever
We are dancing to the voice of Decarabia
I’m so in trance, your love get’s me so high
We are dancing to the voice of Decarabia
You’re just like a drug, I never wanna be sober
Decarabia
Decarabia
Decarabia
Will this demon still get us if we endeavor?
Are there coming days when we’ll be better?
How long ’til we’re free from all this pressure
Covered in stones and fallen feathers
He dug a grave for both of us together
A silent place where we will stay forever
We are dancing to the voice of Decarabia
I’m so in trance, your love get’s me so high
We are dancing to the voice of Decarabia
You’re just like a drug, I never wanna be sober

In Too Deep
03:38

All this rush, all this stress, since I’m young
Give me calm, give me space, just for once
It’s too much, it’s enough, I’m burned out
No power left, but I’m still working somehow
With this pain in my chest I will never forget,
where I have come from
With the mass of this dread it is hard to accept,
that I should really
slow things down,
turnaround
Hold me close,
hear me out
Give me time to breath,
‘cause I’m in too deep
I just can’t escape,
gotta watch out for my own sake
All this rush, all this stress, since I’m young
Give me calm, give me space, just for once
It’s too much, it’s enough, I’m burned out
No power left, but I’m still working somehow
All this rush, all this stress, since I’m young
Give me calm, give me space, just for once
It’s too much, it’s enough, I’m burned out
No power left, but I’m still working somehow
All this weight of distress
makes it hard to find rest
I'm so worn-out
My body’s a mess and a head full of stress
I wish I could just
slow things down,
make no sound
Hold me close
Help me out
Give me time to breath,
‘cause I’m in too deep
I need to escape,
before it is too
Late
before it is too
Late
Gotta watch out for my own -
Sake
I meltdown
Really can’t function anymore -
truly unbearable
Weary and beat -
this might be my defeat
Staring into the void,
left feeling paranoid
I feel too overstrained,
can’t find a way out
Slow things down,
turnaround
Hold me close,
hear me out
Give me time to breath,
‘cause I’m in too deep
I need to escape,
before it is too
Late
Before it is too
Late
Gotta watch out for my own sake

Rays of Light

Another day, another night, out of sight
What a rush, I got no time,
to get in touch with my thoughts, I’m torn
What’s this place? What’s the day? What’s the goal?
Time is running, years are racing
I barely got any time to just be a person
How do I feel? Am I right here? What happens now?
How should I go on?
Rays of light shine from the sky (from the sky)
With every breath life’s passing by
I’m rushing my life away
while I chase my dreams
Never take a moment
to enjoy my victories
Am I worthless, if I won’t achieve,
what I always believed
was the biggest wish of me?
And now I’m so tired
I barely feel a thing
Almost nothing excites me
it’s quite unsettling
Rays of light shine from the sky (from the sky)
With every breath life’s passing by
I’m in this moment, gotta take it in
But in this second I really don’t feel a thing
Rays of light shine from the sky
Can you tell me what’s the plot
of this chronology?
I am idle
Feeling stiffened by my stagnancy
And now I’m so tired
I barely feel a thing
Almost nothing excites me
it’s quite unsettling
Rays of light shine from the sky
With every breath life’s passing by
Rays of light shine from the sky (from the sky)
With every breath life’s passing by
I’m in this moment, gotta take it in
But in this second I really don’t feel a thing
Rays of light shine from the sky
I wish that I could feel something

A fool on the devil's reins
I’m like a fool in a circus
I’m just messing around
Does my life have a purpose?
What is this all about?
When my thoughts loop inside
I will never feel alright
is this really what I like?
This wish was never out of sight
The closer I get
I feel outta breath
Will I regret fighting for it?
Turn all my memories into histories
(into histories)
The greatest show is to watch my world burn
Take a seat cause there is no return
A jester tied up in chains
A fool on the devil's reins
It’s time to open the curtains
Set the spotlight on me
Can I have your attention?
You’re gonna watch me bleed
Choke myself till I bruise
Laughter appears, the crowd is amused
A round of applause and they’re begging for more
My sorrow’s truly a hell of a show
The further I go, I’m sinking so low
Dizzy and weak, they ask for repeat
- We got some difficulties -
The greatest show is to watch my world burn
Take a seat cause there is no return
A jester tied up in chains
A fool on the devil's reins
The greatest show is to watch my world burn
Take a seat cause there is no return
A jester tied up in chains
A fool on the devil's reins
I want to entertain you
I want you to watch me bleed
I want to entertain you
I want you to watch me -
Bleed
The greatest show is to watch my world burn
Take a seat cause there is no return
A jester tied up in chains
A fool on the devil's reins
The greatest show is to watch my world burn
Take a seat cause there is no return
A jester tied up in chains
A fool on the devil's reins
A fool on the devil's reins
A fool on the devil's reins

They Take What They Want
03:24

I take what I want and not what I need
In this life really nothing else matters but me
I will take what I want and not what I need
I still force the ones beneath me down on their knees
Because power’s the answer and I want to succeed
Burn your homes down and feel some of my heat
Without this power in my hands I just can’t feel complete
And I take what I want and not what I need
‘cause I am the alpha, the rest is too weak
I conquer the world and sow all my seeds
I walk on a blank field and make it all red
It’s the color of danger I’m your biggest threat
Tears, ashes, crying, while bombs are crashing
But they take what they want and not what they need
They don’t care if they make an entire country bleed
This mankind is selfish, makes the innocent weak
This world has never been a place for peace
And they take what they want and not what they need
they are proof that us humans are the most horrible beast
They take what they want and not what they need
‘cause they are the alpha and we are too weak
Humans, humans, humans
We’re a beast, beast, beast
I take what I want and not what I need
I am the alpha and the rest is too weak
Give it to me, it belongs to me, kill them all, I want them all to flee
I‘ll make all of you feel like you stare into infrared
I want every single one that doesn’t obey to be on their
Death bed
Obey to me, obey to me, just obey to me
I take what I want and not what I need

Amethyst

Everything seems hopeless,
a ticking time bomb in my pocket
While I’m battling all this nonsense,
the world shatters to pieces
So much ego and injustice
We’re all fighting our own monsters
How can we all find a solution,
mental illness and pollution
Somehow the end feels near
Overwhelmed by all these fears
Can I lean on you for now?
(Just a little moment)
Some affection to go on
(To increase endorphins)
Be my Amethyst
Ease this catastrophy
Just a little kiss,
could be a prodigy
Can I lean on you for now?
You’re my high in all-time low
You’re my high in all-time low
Everyone wants success,
feeling god-complex
Acting all honest,
but the truth is unspoken
Who’s lying better?
Money or power?
Just a question of time
Until we cross the line
Can I lean on you for now?
(Just a little moment)
Some affection to go on
(To increase endorphins)
Be my Amethyst
Ease this catastrophy
Just a little kiss,
could be a prodigy
Can I lean on you for now?
You’re my high in all-time low
Let me look away
I don’t wanna feel this pain
This world is driving me insane
Too many greedy people to be blamed
We’re going under
Hoping for a wonder
Can we save ourselves,
in our created hell?
We really lost the feeling
for our common sense
Burning forests down
Floodings hit the ground
A few degrees that rise
will ruin our homes
A gloomy sphere
Can we find solutions
right before the end appears?
Can I lean on you for now?
(Just a little moment)
Some affection to go on
(To increase endorphins)
Be my Amethyst (be my Amethyst)
Ease catastrophy
Just a little kiss,
could be a prodigy
Can I lean on you for now?
You’re my high in all-time low
