By my side
Drown me in your ocean tide,
Burn me in your graceful light,
Drag me in your falling fight,
Rate me in your darkest right,
No matter, just stay by my side.
Don’t look at me all the time
Or I can‘t pretend all is fine,
Pretend you did’t make me whole.
Do you recognize my whacked soul?
~
In your touch I thrive,
Isn’t much, just my life.
Regardless down you dive,
Ensure it’s me who‘ll survive,
You dragged me up almost too late,
Never believed in things like fate.
My second birthday, that date,
Realize I never really celebrate.
~
The streets are getting colder,
Still I feel your hand on my shoulder
Like I kept it in me, your ardent ember.
Not only your mark my soul will remember.
My next life began in the middle of September
And ended with you at the fifth of November.
Yeah, they were hard and rough,
But twelve years are not enough.
~
Desperately I held myself up strong,
Pretending it’s not you to whom I belong.
I was blind and wrong. You had me all along.
How could you see my soul shine bright,
When there’s so much it has to hide?
I never had to be tough by your side,
So I let myself be weak.
Your eyes I’ll always seek.
~
Let me drown in your ocean tide,
Let me burn in your graceful light,
Let me fall in your highest flight,
And tell me everything’s alright,
Say in the end you’ll be by my side,
Look at me just one last time,
And let us pretend all will be fine.
Don’t you know, you‘re my sunshine?
Don’t leave me in the dark, be mine.
~
I didn’t know you could feel this way.
What would I give for one more day,
There’s so much I have to say
You never knew, I hide too deep.
I’m sorry, I was too weak.
Still your eyes I always seek.
Hope when I close mine it’s you I‘ll see
And the day will come we both be free.
~
I didn’t catch you falling constantly.
You gave up everything for me,
Your faith, your home, your loyalty,
Your brothers and sisters, your family,
Your principles, your dignity,
The war and an entire army,
While I just sharpened my knife.
You sacrificed your life.
~
I wish I said it back,
Revealed all cards of my deck.
I need you, but words lack.
In front of my eyes you faded away.
Never wanted you that price to pay.
I hope you can forgive me one day.
My body in the ground they‘ll lay,
With you in Heaven I will stay.
~
I will drown in your ocean tide,
I will burn in your graceful light,
I will turn in your endless flight,
I will hurl in your stormy might,
In the end I will be by your side.
Till then look down on me in time,
And I will pretend I am almost fine.
Faithful I will never stop to pray,
Till I come home to you someday.

In your light
Watch me, I’m falling
Not like you, I‘m crawling
When it comes true, the biggest of fears
I’ve got nothing more to spent, no tears
In front of the world‘s eyes, let me hide
Don’t waste on me your light
Lost things can’t be found
There’s nothing to be bound
~
Once you said, you and me, it’s profound
Since then, me it’s never stopped to haunt
Only seen your vessel, you’re my friend
You’re my brother till the end
How long can I hold this masquerade
Will I stay blind till it‘s too late
~
Catch me, I’m falling
My demons are crawling
I damn my childish fears
Too weak, can’t show my tears
There’s too much I have to hide
Through my walls, can’t see your light
I’m lost, don’t let me be found
For still I deny we are bound
~
Put your hand on my deepest wound
And listen to my weeping sound
Let me feel the aching pain
And renew your initial claim
Don’t let go again, make me whole
And take as a burdening gift my soul
~
To you I’m falling
At last I stop crawling
Gone are all those fears
Down my face, are these tears
There’s nothing I have to hide
All is vanished in your light
Now I’m lost and found
I give in to our bound
To the tide
Still it’s you I’m calling
Until all is falling
Can you hear me
In the blue of the sea
It’s still you I see
~
Standing here, on my shoulder your brand
Watching waves, with my feet in the sand
The ocean always comes back to the land
Like at the horizon the earth meets the sky
Never letting go, never saying goodbye
~
Let the gust
Take my voice like dust
Where the wind goes
And your light shows
It’s never ending dusk
~
Forgive me, I was deaf to all your calling
Forgive me, I couldn’t stop your falling
The grains of sand ran through your glass
Couldn’t catch them, they were way to fast
A little longer for us, they didn’t want to last
~
Grace holder
You were a soldier
So I didn’t have to be
You set me free
Now I’m lost
~
I couldn’t hold the line you have crossed
I didn’t know how much happiness would cost
It slipped through our fingers like the sands
If we tried to carry water with our hands
In the rushing tide is where it always ends
~
The abyss is calling
Want to let go, just falling
Into the blue
Lost my anchor too
I lost you
~
To the tide
If we collide
I was taught, no, trained how to behave
To my mask and armor I was a slave
But all it needed was a single wave
To finally feel what I truly crave
~
You wore oceans in your eyes
And in your grace the skies
I was scared to swim and scared to fly
For our depths and heights I couldn't deny
~
I've always known how to keep my distance
Faced your love with nothing but resistance
But against my walls you will evermore win
Under the weight of your words they cave in
~
The line we walked was thin
It got out of my hands and under my skin
Too much to be just friends
Too late to make amends
~
The heart wants what the soul demands
Though I wonder, if we ever had a chance
Under surface, I let you sink in, deeper down
Is this how it ends, will I watch us drown
~
In waves of doubt you make me breathe
And see what hides underneath
A reef built from fear and hope and grief
When you leave, I've got nothing to believe
~
I need you like air and water
So I let your tide pull me under
I let your storm carry me away
Don't care if I see another day
~
If you're the ocean, I hope I'm a river
In your surge I would find my forever
At the end of my days we'd be together
All I did was take, let me be the giver
~
When I'll fall, would you be the ground
While breaking I'd be safe and sound
By losing my breath I'd be found
As my shreds you have bound
~
If we collide, there'll be no thunder or storm
Sometimes I wonder if I could be reborn
Inside I am torn, could you heal my wound
Are my prayers forlorn in the empty profound
~
If we ignite, there'll be no fire to mourn
Stopping being a liar, will be my dawn
For you, I want to be true and brave
And bury my armor in your grave
~
When I tied every atom of me
With yours, I would be free
We were walking on a wire
Would you dare, take me higher
~
When I fall for your oceans and skies
There'll be no disguise, no lies, no price
No more goodbyes, no tears in your eyes
Peace will rise as darkness dies
~
I got your heart
You'll get my soul
You tore me apart
I'll make us whole
