 Like a Waterfall

I surface from the haze
I see the real reasons why
I'm so over my head
It seems
Unclear mistakes it's hold
Our whole world is gonna break
It's crumbling so easily
But you are the only one i want you to know
Who will get under my skin
So if i dare to try, i dare .
I'll prove to you it's not a waste
And this is not our last goodbye
Those other thrills
Cause i've got a better place to go
Been out of my head, you'll see
I wanna take a taste
In this old violent light's chambers
They're burning me like gasoline
But you are the only one i need you to know
You know i'm always there
So if i dare to try, i dare to try
I'll prove to you it's not a waste
And this is not our last goodbye
I see a rainbow bleeding out of the sun
And i feel my adrenaline before it's already begun
And i tried to tell you but you've not listened
But we know... it all pours out of me
Like a waterfall
Like a waterfall
It all pours out of me ...

Heike Langhans & Daniel Ă„nghede - The Final Cut (Pink Floyd Cover)


Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes 
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time 
And far from flying high in clear blue skies 
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive 
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes 
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall 
Dial the combination, open the priest hole 
And if I'm in I'll tell you (what's behind the wall)
There's a kid who had a big hallucination 
Making love to girls in magazines 
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith 
Could anybody love him 
Or is it just a crazy dream?
And if I show you my dark side 
Will you still hold me tonight? 
And if I open my heart to you 
And show you my weak side 
What would you do? 
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone? 
Would you take the children away 
And leave me alone? 
And smile in reassurance 
As you whisper down the phone? 
Would you send me packing? 
Or would you take me home?
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands 
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang 
I never had the nerve to make the final cut

RIVERS BETWEEN US

Where is the world? I saw in your eyes? It lived through the night Then whispered goodbye
The cuts on your skin The red in my eyes
This winter inside Is crushing me now
"I am alone, I am scorn I can't remember to forget you I just weather the storm"
The love that I had It drowned in the tide Stirring the waters Where hearts lay bare
The cuts on your skin The red in your eyes
Enfolding this shame Into despair
Let me take the noose From our necks and carry us home
Still so alive even after your die Transcending with time
We're just two cripples Who fail to belong
Yes we're just two cripples But we need to hold on
From this flesh my spirit longs to break away Did you ever feel this cosmic circumstance was never enough?
Wake me slowly if ever at all Wake me slowly Or watch me fall Watch me fall
The life that I had Is gone with the tide
Watch me fall
Another deception I whisper goodbye
The cuts in my flesh
The red in your eyes
Watch me fall
These demons inside They die with me now

LITTLE DREAMER


Once there was a boy back in time of the heathens
Day after day he just kept dreaming things that would make him weaker
His father could not make him see, that there is more than dreams
But he wouldn't listen to the words of his father, 'cause he's a little dreamer

Along his quest for solitude
A wise man came and told him to follow the stars

He ran to the forest with whirlwinds by his side
He's lost in this world of lies
Take him back where rivers flow upwards
He is the one who lives
under a moonless sky looking for time
Take him back where stars are shining bright

Far in the lands of icetop mountains far on the other side
pictures are appearing so serenely into my mind
Far in the lands of meadows of fire deep in forgotten life
memories are drifting away so silently from light

Along his path of misery
A wise man came and told him to follow... the stars
Little Dreamer...

ABANDONED

Sing for your tears
A song of the hatred
No one can hear
'Cause your life is forgotten
I want to give my life to you
But my will is tied with puppet strings
I am fighting and screaming alone
Inside this empty room

They let you down, threw you in the rain
They let you down, sent you away

The night is dark when you're alone
And sometimes it can be so cruel
The rain keeps falling on me so coldly
'Cause your wishes didn't come true

Nothing seems real anymore
As I dive into the sea of lies
I don't understand this sorrow
That keeps me sane

They let you down, threw you in the rain
They let you down, sent you away

Without a name
The let you down

Nothing seems real anymore
As I dive into the sea of lies
I don't understand this sorrow

That keeps me sane.

THE SOUND OF SILENT

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools," said I, "you do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sound of silence"
