LaFontaines (The)

Asleep
Lost in the jungle of darkness, can't save what you must let go Lie to the man in the mirror, careful with the stone you throw Nothing but the sound of silence, ringing like the beat of the drum How many more tricks must we pull, how many more tricks must we pull? Every cliché found in the rhyme book You can never take back what the time took Rise to the news on the front page But blind to the crowd at your own stage Trip just to fall with finesse Or drop like bombs from the West Wasted faithless man has awoken Baptized in the ocean – soaking Spoiled by the view from the top flight The rain don't fall far from the cloud He was taught to understand that appetite But never stood too close to the crowd Cascade down a concrete street Where the sirens flash and sound in rotation From the marble floors of the palace Built on the bricks with no foundation S-s-slave to the man in the suit SongtexteBriefcase, chained to his arm with the loot Numb to the pain and the weight of the debt Served with a smile, but dressed in regret Deep carat gold coins in his pocket Dressed like a king but spoke like a prophet “I could make it rain pure evil” “Or I could make it rain for these people" I've been, I've been asleep in a daze I've been, I've been asleep in a daze A penny for my thoughts, got me minimum wage He said that, I've been asleep in a daze Until I woke up, and I took flight Now I'm so high, that I'm gone I've got my mind right, we talking hindsight Everything they told me was wrong, Fuck that I never touch down, I'm paragliding, my wingspan like an albatross I'm alive now and I'm awake too, you can flip the coin but I'm a win the toss This is case closed, no roots here, my family tree has no branches You can pray for help, you can ask a lot, but be honest round here, what's the chances? Blind to the borders, everybody's running blind to the borders When paranoid days turn to paranoid nights, everybody runs blind to the borders, nothing to lose Come with me, talk with me Breathe for me, sing for me Beautiful symphony Feeding me energy Walk with me, talk with me Breathe for me, sing for me Beautiful symphony Feeding me energy Aus Songtexte Mania
