Why is it impossible now
To trace every echo
Back to its birth?
Why is it impossible now
To kiss every fever away?
There is truth that’s hiding
Behind every wall that surrounds us.
It takes a lifetime
To pull the bricks away.
Why is it impossible now to know?
(Is this the way to understand?)
With the weakest of ears
We’ll try only to hear
The sound of our voice,
Louder than fear of waking up
Alone.
Let conversations carry
The unraveling of skin.
The ink will pour an answer
In children’s handwriting.
If all words are cameras,
Hold still.
Shutters slide to unveil
Fingerprints of angels
And a language made of film.
With surgical precision,
We’ll cut every piece into order.
And beneath soft faces,
We’ll climb halfway to God.
Why is it impossible now to know?
(Is this the way to understand?)
Why is it impossible now
To trace every echo
Back to it’s birth?
To trace every echo
Back to its birth?
Why is it impossible now
To kiss every fever away?
There is truth that’s hiding
Behind every wall that surrounds us.
It takes a lifetime
To pull the bricks away.
Why is it impossible now to know?
(Is this the way to understand?)
With the weakest of ears
We’ll try only to hear
The sound of our voice,
Louder than fear of waking up
Alone.
Let conversations carry
The unraveling of skin.
The ink will pour an answer
In children’s handwriting.
If all words are cameras,
Hold still.
Shutters slide to unveil
Fingerprints of angels
And a language made of film.
With surgical precision,
We’ll cut every piece into order.
And beneath soft faces,
We’ll climb halfway to God.
Why is it impossible now to know?
(Is this the way to understand?)
Why is it impossible now
To trace every echo
Back to it’s birth?

"Why is it impossible now

Um uns vor (noch) mehr Schaden zu bewahren ?
"There is truth

Wie wahr...
The headlines talk
Of sadness and new risk.
Life is deadly,
My finger's to your lips.
We'll send the world in reverse.
Love is tension and thrill
That begs to be ours.
We are diamonds waiting to be found,
Catching light in the corners of our eyes.
We are diamonds waiting to be found.
We are the hunted,
We are the shining northern lights.
We are the nervous,
We feel our hands becoming vines.
We'll dream in color tonight.
Love is tension and thrill
That begs to be ours.
There are cities inside of everyone:
Life within life,
The trembling in our voice.
When I look into your eyes
I see the tip of an iceberg.
When I look into your eyes
I see that love is an iceberg
That throws us into the sea.
We're walking on the ocean floor,
Feeding sharks out of our hands.
We are diamonds waiting to be found,
Catching light in the corners of our eyes.
We are diamonds waiting to be found.
