A Phoennix Without Wings On a Roller Coaster

I rise like a Phoenix
but is the fire hot enough to melt down the bricks
which I've build in front of my heart?
Am I really over you or do I just talk
myself away from you?
Am I still in love with you or do I just talk me into it?
It's life's roller coaster ride
do I still want you as my bride?

Even when I know that I'm crossing the ocean
I don't know if you are my poison or potion
I don't know where I stand and I don't know where I'm going
is the wind still blowing
your name or just a familiar thing?
A thing were I'm used to
A thing that used to
let me shine and glow
but in the end every star will blow
what's lasting of the beauty are pieces of dust and ashes

The pain slowly fades
but the emptiness stays
I felt back into place
after I lost your grace
I try to run away
but in the end I may come back and stay

Wonderful Winter Wonderland

just like that can love go away
down the hill in a sleigh
the heart turns into a wonderful winter wonderland
at the same time i feel worth only a cent
like a loner at Christmas
like Jesus at the cross
but at least I'm free and don't have a boss

Could Have Been

it could have been so nice
but like every relationship it stood at the side of a dice
you never know if it will work or fail
ours did fall of the edge

it could have been so wonderful
but like every relationship it was like riding a bull
you never know if it will work or fail
we did fall of his back

it could have been so glittery
but like every relationship it was like aiming while you are jittery
you never know if it will work or fail
ours was a shoot off target

it could have been so shiny
but like every relationship it was like a star that can stay or fall and end tiny
you never know if it will work or fail
we hit the ground

it could have been so nice...but it isn't

Maybe I Call You Baby Again

Maybe I crash in the air and smash on the ground
maybe I crash after the landing and get torn into pieces in the air
maybe I can handle it
maybe I can't

time will tell
maybe you change your mind
maybe you wont
maybe I call you baby again
maybe I call you friend
maybe I call you bitch
No I wont

I want to be in love with you
I want to call you baby again
Maybe I can't

But I want the best for you
I want you to be happy
I just don't know if I can handle it
if I can watch it

I'll try, I'll try, I'll try my best
maybe it hurts too much in my chest
maybe it wont

maybe I call you baby again
maybe I don't

I can swear you to love you till my last day
I can swear you to pray
for your happiness
with or without me
but I can't swear you to be with you
if you are not with me

Halo

an angel that you've killed
had walls again built
the angel used to be everything that you need
the angel couldnt succeed
his mission to be your saving grace
the angel feels now like in a maze
lost and alone
everyday the angel prayed 
that the halo wont fade
the sunray turned into blacklight
the angel can't burn through the darkest night
maybe halos aren't real
and every angel have to kneel
when reailty shoot them out of the air
and they have to start at the first square
why this angel couldn't break the rule
why life even have to be to angels so cruel?

Fu Finally

Finally I am fine again
do whatever I can
to forget you, to not miss you
over is the swine flu
that I had inside
or at least it felt like

Finally I am free again
like a metal bird in the sky
did we fly too high?
or maybe too low?
I don't know
but every flight ends on the ground

Finally I am thinking
what if I'm just thinking
that I'm fine and free?
Maybe you are still in me
in my brain and my heart
you DID left me behind scarred

Finally, FU finally
every conclusion is just a statement of the given moment
just words for the year, the hour, the day
the world keeps spinning and the waves are crashing against the bay
but I still hear it like it was yesterday
the good things I realized, the bad things I denied

Better Before?

My heart was hidden behind ice
then I saw your eyes
and I felt the first time alive
but now it aches
can someone please put it back in place?
stick it back into the cage?

Crossroads

I go to the kitchen see you sitting at the table
I still see your cloth in my dresser
I still see your plugged in Laptop cable
I remember the drama before the dessert
I could make you stay even when you wanted to leave
we just had to go to my dad
at this time in us I still believed
it was OK there, regardless everything went bad
But I'm fine for now
I thank you for the good time
and take a bow
I walked a part with you on life's line
and that part didn't ended yet
it just took another direction
which makes me glad
I hope we both find there satisfaction

Don'T Ask

Did you just played me?
Did you just slayed me?
Did youe meant it real?
Did you only played a spiel?
Did you do it for you?
Did you do it for me?
Did you do it for us?
Did you do it to forget him?
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it to try?
Did you do it for experience?

Maybe I shouldn't ask
it's worthless because it's the past

Did you loved me?
Did you loved yourself?
Or do you still love him?
Do you regret it?
Do you miss me?
Dou you enjoyed it?
Because of me?
Because of experience?
Was it that worth?
Did you just played me?
Did you just slayed me?

Maybe I shouldn't ask
it's worthless because it's the past
