lyrics

Another day my theory became true,
what can go wrong will go wrong, it’s cruel.
Love and hope – both are temproray
I see - all my ways lead into profanity.

I can’t believe these damned things that I see now.
My goods and chattles are fading away.
I need self-deception to compensate,
that phantasmagorias keep me alive.

There are friends in every place I go.
But when I need one, there is none.
When as a matter of fact, life is hell.
They start creeping back into their shells.

I can’t believe these damned things that I see now.
My goods and chattles are fading away.
I need self-deception to compensate,
that phantasmagorias keep me alive.
With my back to the wall I am standing.
There is no way out, but I still smile.
I see myself bigger than the devil.
A phantasmagoria, but I am still alive.

Hey, why are you pointing at me?
Because you’ve got no time for me!
But now I’m here, can’t you see?
Now I don’t need you!
Once I had time for you.
This is long ago.
Why are you starting to cry?
Because yesterday I wanted to die!

Lie, what do you think is a lie?
Tell me what do you think is wrong?
We are fooled many times,
but pain keeps going on and on.
Paralysed and insane.
I’ve been fucked once again.
Distrust’s attested next time.
Self cheating is no crime.

Another hope is gone away.
Another friend is dead today.
Salvation is a luxury,
that no one cannot pay.
More and more atrocities
Contentment is a luxury
No one can rely on the persons
we call friends.

I can’t believe these damned things that I see now.
My goods and chattles are fading away.
I need self-deception to compensate,
that phantasmagorias keep me alive.
With my back to the wall I am standing.
There is no way out, but I still smile.
I see myself bigger than the devil.
A phantasmagoria, but I am still alive.
