Solitary Experiments - Mind Over Matter (2005)

Look in the mirror and tell me what you see
Is there something you remember or anything you feel
You look for answers which are hard to find
But is this now reality or an image of your mind

With a heavy load on my shoulders I continue to arrive
At a final destination on my odyssey of mind
I keep firm hold on my spirit and the free will of mankind
In our pursuit of awareness from the darkness into light

Look in the mirror and tell me what you see
Is there something you remember or anything you feel
You look for answers which are hard to find
But is this now reality or an image of your mind
Lost in confusion and captured in a dream
Explore new horizons that explain your memories
Reasons are hidden deep in fantasies
Perceptions are elusive and the truth not what it seems

The truth is difficult to find, there's something wicked in my mind

With a heavy load on my shoulders I continue to arrive
At a final destination on my odyssey of mind
I keep firm hold on my spirit and the free will of mankind
In our pursuit of awareness from the darkness into light

The truth is difficult to find, there's something wicked in my mind

Turn off the light
The show begins
We hide ourselves in innocence
Enough is enough

The truth is hard to comprehend
Accept the loss of common sense
Enough is enough

We're always falling to the ground
Destroying everything we own
Enough is enough

How many tears still must be shed
Until the last one understand?
Enough is enough

First when the rain keeps falling
And our world stops turning
Another candle
Light still burning
Even if the tide won't turning

A false conclusion leads into disputes
It's time to replace the existing rules
Enough is enough

How many bombs must be dropped till we see
The worst crime of it all is our apathy?
Enough is enough

You found happiness
For a short moment
Like a tender kiss
You felt safe, well and free
But the appearance deceives
Because you try to hide
Your face forced with a smile
The bitter truth behind

Now you're dancing in delight
All your dreams are fulfilled
Your wish comes true, you reach the sky
Climb the highest mountains
If it has lasted a long time
You wonder how it happens
But now you're dancing in delight
And nothing else matters

You seek desperately the courage to prevail
Tears are your silent screams, but faith is your shield
Everything you tried
Always seemed in vain
It wasn't satisfied
Nothing has really changed

Now you're dancing in delight
All your dreams are fulfilled
Your wish comes true, you reach the sky
Climb the highest mountains
If it has lasted a long time
You wonder how it happens
But now you're dancing in delight
And nothing else matters

Now you're dancing in delight
All your dreams are fulfilled
Your wish comes true, you reach the sky
Climb the highest mountains
If it has lasted a long time
You wonder how it happens
But now you're dancing in delight
And nothing else matters

Like a fool, I was stumbling between words full of misunderstandings
I wonder how things are running out of time
Where are our manners going? Don't ask me why!

If romance failed, whose heart it breaks?
The line that separates our sympathy, shouldn't be true
But nothing changes your point of view

I'm sorry for the things that happened
I can't soothe your pain
I do regret everything
I swear, everything

Now its too late, the chains are broken
Nothing more to say, the last words are spoken
One last time I'm holding your hand
I've tried to listen, but I did not understand

If romance failed, whose heart it breaks?
The line that separates our sympathy, shouldn't be true
But nothing changes your point of view

I'm sorry for the things that happened
I can't soothe your pain
I do regret everything
I swear, everything

Walk on thin ice, the frozen surface
Begins to break down just under your feet
You look for hold but you find nothing
Except refusal for a cause without need

It doesn't matter what goals you achieve
Nor does it count, even if you should succeed

As long as we can stand in rain
As long as we accept the pain
The more we want, the more we see
This life has not much luxury

Once I noticed you was one fire
And you decided to enjoy the fall
I realized that it's too late now
Nothing left to change our path

It doesn't matter what goals you achieve
Nor does it count, even if you should succeed

It's a hopeless misery

As long as we can stand in rain
As long as we accept the pain
The more we want, the more we see
This life has not much luxury

I'm on the run to the Promised Land
Where all my suffering comes to an end
A place of complete bliss and peace
But sometimes it seems out of reach

And on my journey of an unknown path
I will continue to strive towards
A life without any tears
That overcomes our primal fears

I need no mercy, I need no might
Because I have the power to survive
I don't know how, I don't know why
I'm always here and still alive

Complete exhausted and without a support
I concentrate all my efforts
To proceed the foreseen way
Hope that I'm not being lead astray

And when I come to the final stage
Whether it takes my last reserves
I will defend to pass the test
The reward is my eternal rest

I need no mercy, I need no might
Because I have the power to survive
I don't know how, I don't know why
I'm always here and still alive

What was my intention at this time
So many confused thoughts that brought me here
Why did I leave all the ones I loved
To cross old borders to break new ground

I tried it once again to find the right direction
That leads me straight back home, where I felt self-protection
With every step I make to reach the destination
I come closer to this place, where I found consolation

How can I ignore my origin
Too many miles away from familiar
When will I regret the things I said
So many wasted years for nothingness

Here, here I stand alone again and watch the stars
To find my way back home!

I tried it once again to find the right direction
That leads me straight back home, where I felt self-protection
With every step I make to reach the destination
I come closer to this place, where I found consolation

Here, here I stand alone again and watch the stars
To find my way back home!

In a world of troubled times
Politics are redefined
Thoughts and actions are the way
That change the path we see today
Bombs & missiles miss their mark
A futile point we can't embark
Peace requires consciousness
Or fall beyond the great abyss

Predict the fate you want to see
Create the world reality
Lessons learned are somehow lost
Another major holocaust
Change requires discipline
A subtle point where we begin
Start with changing your own mind
And open it to see mankind

In times of hate, anguish and pain
A precise mind seems lost again
It isn't easy about to decide
What is wrong and what is right
The simple truths are all inside
Leave the past we left behind
War or Peace is just a choice
Spread the word in your own voice

Predict the fate you want to see
Create the world reality
Lessons learned are somehow lost
Another major holocaust
Change requires discipline
A subtle point where we begin
Start with changing your own mind
And open it to see mankind

When I was a child my dreams were the sky
Above the clouds when I learned how to fly
Now I'm a man who standing on the ground
I found the balance but I still fall down

I can't go out of line
I cannot change my mind
I waste an eternity
I wish I could turn back the time
I seek for a guarantee
A key that sets me free
Another lie seems just a self-deception

When I was boy my dreams were the ocean
Along the waves when I learned how to dive
Now I'm a man who standing on the water
I found the balance but anyhow I still drown

I can't go out of line
I cannot change my mind
I waste eternity
I wish I could turn back the time
I seek for a guarantee
A key that sets me free
Another lie seems just a self-deception
Who has the key that sets me free?
Another lie seems just a self-deception

I can't go out of line
I cannot change my mind
I waste eternity
I wish I could turn back the time
I seek for a guarantee
A key that sets me free
Another lie seems just a self-deception
Who has the key that sets me free?
