• 2. Noir (04:02)
   copy

  I want to know what‘s on your mind
  Do you dream of a sky without stars
  I want to see the world through your eyes
  Even if it’s life en noir
  
  Even if it’s life en noir
  Even if it’s life en noir
  
  Don’t be ashamed in a world full of sin
  Tell me more about the things that you hide
  Show your true self, open up from within
  Your secrets are safe with me for all time
  
  Even if it’s life en noir
  Even if it’s life en noir
  
  Paint my world like Hieronymus
  Bless me with every sin you can find
  Give me your pain, every cloud ominous
  You‘re cleansed by the rain for peace of mind
  
  Even in life noir, there’s something for you
  Even in life noir, there’s something for you
  Even in life noir, there’s something for you
  Even in life noir, there’s something for you
  
  Even in life noir, there’s something for you and me
  Even in life noir, there’s something for you
  
  I‘ll join you in your search for bliss
  Even if the path is bizarre
  I’d walk with you right through the abyss
  Join you in your life en noir
  
  I will join you in your life en noir
  I will join you in your life en noir
• 3. Have You Heard the News? (04:12)
   copy

  Have you heard the news?
  Have you heard the news?
  Have you heard the news?
  Have you heard the news?
  
  I‘m on the air tonight
  You‘re the moth and I‘m the light
  Hysteria has been sparked
  My chance to leave a mark
  You’ve heard that rumor has it
  That somewhere something happened
  Gossip’s no guilty pleasure
  It’s a natural human habit
  
  We’re giving you a platform
  Amusement in a sad form
  Let the show begin
  We’ll feed you with attention
  And momentary mention
  This just in
  
  Hash little baby, tag this word
  To become part of this herd
  Spread the disease, there’s no excuse
  You only matter if you have heard the news
  
  I’m hoping for bad times
  For generating headlines
  My monopoly on truth
  Gives me the power to confuse
  Now we‘ve found a new idol
  A new virus going viral
  After your short taste of sensation
  Lifelong fame deprivation
  
  Giving you a platform
  Amusement in a sad form
  Let the show begin
  We‘ll feed you with attention
  And momentary mention
  This just in
  
  Hash little baby, tag this word
  To become part of this herd
  Spread the disease, there’s no excuse
  You only matter if you have heard the news
  
  Have you heard the news?
  Have you heard the news?
  Have you heard the news?
  
  Hash little baby, tag this word
  To become part of this herd
  Spread the disease, there’s no excuse
  You only matter if you heard the news
  Hash little baby, tag this word
  To become part of this herd
  Spread the disease, there’s no excuse
  You only matter if you have heard the news
  
  Have you heard the news?
• 4. Astronaut (03:53)
   copy

  I’m an astronaut in my own headspace
  And down on earth, I show another face
  I feel estranged and out of place
  So will I change or will I be replaced
  The smiles and the frowns, they are all fake
  Stories that you tell I won’t remember anyway
  Give me some rest and give me a break
  To figure out the things that are too much to take
  
  I can’t seem to find a way out of my head
  I still think about things everyone would forget
  Will I have to get used to the fact
  That for each good day one is bad
  I‘m stuck in a carousel of contemplation
  A train of thought with no destination
  I’ll dig all the way to the core of my heart
  To find an answer, to find salvation
  
  Finding comfort in sensory overload
  Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
  I’m finding comfort in sensory overload
  Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
  
  When every little word stings like a pin
  And every mistake is seen as sin
  Then it‘s easier to feel nothing at all
  Instead of having to feel everything
  I lost my heroine but still I’m chasing the high
  I was never really good at knowing when to say goodbye
  Now that I know how to feel it can’t be unlearned
  I need a fresh start, all bridges must burn
  
  Finding comfort in sensory overload
  Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
  I’m finding comfort in sensory overload
  Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
  
  I‘m an astronaut in my own headspace
  (Down on earth, I show another face)
  I‘m an astronaut in my own headspace
  (Down on earth, I show another face)
  I‘m an astronaut in my own headspace
  I‘m an astronaut in my own headspace
  
  Finding comfort in sensory overload
  Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
  I’m finding comfort in sensory overload
  Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
  I’m finding comfort in sensory overload
  Do I chase a dream, or just a dream world
  
  I’m an astronaut in my own headspace
  And down on earth, I show another face
  I feel estranged and out of place
  So I head to a place where I feel safe
• 5. Undream (04:43)
   copy

  Ego moved out of egocentricity
  The mirror’s shattered, or is the shattered one me
  Idealized for too long what can’t be
  Saint or sinner, now makes no difference to me
  
  Can you help me undream this wistful life
  Can you help me undream of perfect times
  Can you help me undream this wistful life
  Can’t you help me undream
  Can’t you help me to undream
  
  Undream, undream, undream
  
  I’m stuck in my ways but at least I’m true to myself
  I thought it was me but it’s you who is someone else
  The illusion is gone, I am there where I’ve been before
  Running in circles, can’t take it no more
  No more!
  
  Can you help me undream this wistful life
  Can you help me undream of perfect times
  Can you help me undream this wistful life
  Can’t you help me undream
  Can’t you help me to undream
  
  Undream, undream, undream
• 6. Into the Ivory Tower (04:27)
   copy

  I’m writing notes to a stranger
  In hope of finding a savior
  I can’t explain my behavior
  So I’m writing notes to a stranger
  
  I must hide away, just today to fade out reality
  Close the door behind me, throw away the key
  I must find my way
  
  Into the ivory tower
  Where I’m searching for the truth in my last hour
  Into the ivory tower
  I must hide away before life devours
  
  I tried to find out the reasons
  For why I’m lost in my feelings
  And why am I scared to show them
  Don’t I know that I can’t be free then
  
  Let me hide away, one more time today, no reality
  Close the door behind me, throw away the key
  I must find my way
  
  Into the ivory tower
  Where I’m searching for the truth in my last hour
  Into the ivory tower
  I must hide away before life devours
• 7. Mind in a Box (03:36)
   copy

  Who defines what‘s wrong or right
  Morality – just a matter of perspective
  Why do we think in black or white
  When every color in between‘s subjective
  
  Are we unwilling to change
  Or is it lack of self-reflection
  Maybe the things that we find strange
  Just don’t fit into our frame of perception
  
  So many people are stuck in their mind
  Scared of the unknown but don’t question why
  So many people are stuck in their mind
  Scared of the unknown but don’t
  Don’t question why
  
  Can we redefine the lines
  Drawn by ourselves and our conventions
  We think in boxes all our lives
  Open the lock to a new perception
  
  So many people are stuck in their mind
  Scared of the unknown but don’t question why
  So many people are stuck in their mind
  Scared of the unknown but don’t
  Don’t question why
  
  So many people are stuck in their mind
  Scared of the unknown but don’t question why
  So many people are stuck in their mind
  Scared of the unknown but don’t
  Don’t question why
  Don’t question why
  Don’t question why
  Don’t question why
• 8. Nil (04:08)
   copy

  Nothingness is nothing worth at all
  Even if you got it all for you
  But in the end it’s all you got left
  When you go
  There’s a thin line between
  Brilliance and insanity
  I still have to figure out
  Which one works for me
  
  I got it all, I got nil
  I got it all, I got nil
  I got it all, I got nil
  I got it all, I got
  
  Nil, I got nil
  I got nil, I got nil, I got nil
  
  They say home is where the heart is
  But which one will I find first
  I always hope for the best
  But plan for the worst
  There is solace in solitude
  It‘s always there for you
  And in the end it’s all you got left
  When you go
  
  I got it all, I got nil
  I got it all, I got nil
  I got it all, I got nil
  I got it all, I got
  
  Nil, I got nil
  I got nil, I got nil, I got nil
  
  Nil, nil, nil, nil
• 9. Plaster Saint (03:00)
   copy

  Plaster saint, pass the pain
  You bear the burden all in vain
  Plaster saint, master vain
  You can be human and humane
  
  Love your fellow as yourself
  But only if the right belief is held
  It was said long ago
  And shall be true forevermore
  
  You dictate the way to love, there is only one
  Entrance to the garden only for the righteous one
  If Adam don’t like Eve, then he don’t believe
  And he who don’t see the light, love he won‘t receive
  
  Plaster saint, pass the pain
  You bear the burden all in vain
  Plaster saint, master vain
  You can be human and humane
  
  You preach God‘s word and Gods don‘t lie
  You’re a trustworthy guide to paradise
  Take the vow of poverty
  In a splendid ordination ceremony
  
  Avarice is granted you, your belief is true
  There is only one god and we all know it is you
  You swim in gold but admonish modesty
  Holy smoke rising to haze your hypocrisy
  
  Plaster saint, pass the pain
  You bear the burden all in vain
  Plaster saint, master vain
  You can be human and humane
• 10. Cabin Fever (04:47)
   copy

  Set me free, set me free
  Just one step ahead of insanity
  Set me free, set me free
  May one of my demons lead me out of here
  
  Alone with my mind in the night
  The only noise is inside
  My mind is stranded on a shore
  Where facts don‘t matter anymore
  
  It has taken possession of me
  And it won’t leave me be
  My self-destructive tendency
  Overwhelming my rationality
  
  Set me free, set me free
  Just one step ahead of insanity
  Set me free, set me free
  May one of my demons lead me out of here
  
  A storm is gathering inside
  And there is no place to hide
  A whirl of thoughts strikes me down
  In surreality I will drown
  
  It has taken possession of me
  And it won’t leave me be
  My self-destructive tendency
  No reason, mere irrationality
  
  Set me free, set me free
  Just one step ahead of insanity
  Set me free, set me free
  May one of my demons lead me out of here
• 11. Life in the Jungle (04:40)
   copy

  Through the thicket of society
  Make a choice, belong or be free
  And I am crushed by the hierarchy
  David Goliath rivalry
  I don‘t wanna be part of the food chain
  Competition – the collective cocaine
  So am I savage or am I insane
  Or maybe something in between
  
  One of the others, still one of a kind
  Life in the jungle
  Stranger in the crowd but I don’t mind
  Life in the jungle
  Act like I belong just to survive
  Life in the jungle
  Stranger in the crowd but I don’t mind
  Life in the jungle
  
  Life in the jungle
  Life in the jungle
  Life in the jungle
  Life in the jungle
  
  One of the others, still one of a kind
  Life in the jungle
  Stranger in the crowd but I don’t mind
  Life in the jungle
  Act like I belong just to survive
  Life in the jungle
  Stranger in the crowd but I don’t mind
  Life in the jungle
  
  Life in the jungle
  Life in the jungle
• 12. No Time to Shine (04:16)
   copy

  I wish that I had more than twenty-four
  Hours per day, they fade away
  Time and time again I feel so strained
  Battery is drained but I can’t stop now
  
  I won’t stop now, I won’t give up
  Even if my life moves on without me
  I’ll always be the one who I’m supposed to be
  
  I got no time to shine, I‘m wasting life
  The only thing money can’t buy
  For what it’s worth, I know that
  I found my purpose in life
  
  It’s not a lack of will that I can’t fulfill
  My hopes and dreams, they’re still in reach
  But the hourglass runs out too fast
  Can’t save the moment from the past
  
  I won’t stop now, I won’t give up
  Even if my life moves on without me
  I’ll always be who I’m supposed to be yeah
  
  I got no time to shine, I‘m wasting life
  The only thing money can’t buy
  For what it’s worth, I know that
  I found my purpose in life
  
  I got no time to shine
  I got no time to shine
  I got no time to shine
  I got no time to shine
  I got no time to shine
  I got no time to shine
  I’ve got no time to shine
  I’ve got no time to shine
