Lyrics

[00:31.930] Now and then Im scared, when i seem to forget
[00:37.600] how sounds become words or even sentances...
[00:43.830] No, i dont speak anymore and what could i say,
[00:50.110] since no-one is there and there is nothing to say...
[00:58.880] So, i prefer to lie in darkest silence alone...
[01:06.110] listening to the lack of light, or sound,
[01:12.210] or someone to talk to, for something to share...
[01:18.350] but there is no hope and no-one is there.
[01:28.190] No, no, no... not one living soul
[01:34.900] and there is nothing (left) to say,
[01:40.500] in darkness I lie all alone by myself,
[01:46.670] sleeping most of the time to endure the pain.
[02:04.530]
[02:23.880] I am not breathing a word, i havent spoken for weeks
[02:30.750] and yet the mistress inside me is (secretly) straining her ears.
[02:37.600] But there is no-one, and it seems to me at times
[02:43.230] that with every passing hour another word is leaving my mind...
[03:21.370] I am the mistress of loneliness,
[03:27.130] my court is deserted but i do not care.
[03:33.400] The presence of people is ugly and cold
[03:39.640] and something i can neither watch nor bear.
[03:48.600] So, i prefer to lie in darkest silence alone,
[03:55.850] listening to the lack of light, or sound,
[04:01.750] or someone to talk to, for something to share...
[04:07.900] but there is no hope and no-one is there.
[04:16.980] No, I dont speak anymore and what should i say,
[04:23.700] since no-one is there and there is nothing to say?
[04:30.290] All is oppressive, alles ist schwer,
[04:36.530] there is no-one and
[04:39.930] NO-ONE IS THERE...
