I have seen your face before
but I can’t recall it anymore.
Your spell is cast,
the time has passed.
You slip away
and I can’t say.
You have tied my hands once more,
now I’m lying face down to the floor.
And like I always said:
You never felt okay
'cause you have never stopped to hate.
We know this cannot be the way
and we were never meant to stay.
Your eyes they bury me in you.
Force me and cut me in two.
Cover up, reveal: I’m untrue.
You know much more than I do.
Your view is killing all I know.
Now help me to make you true.
There’s an endless story of independence.
I’ll tell you about it within a sentence.
We’re so much alike,
not the same despite.
It’s a hopeless fight.
Strangers of the night.
Cut my hand off so I can be free!
Will I ever be?
Will you let me be?
Can we ever be?
Your eyes they bury me in you.
Force me and cut me into.
Your view is killing all I know.
Now help me to make you true.
My lies they choke you, run away!
They killed me they’ll kill again!
Don’t give me hope if our ways cross.
Our love will only bring loss.
We’re just like moths drawn to a flame,
don’t get too close or I’ll burn... your angel wings away.

helpless child Hanover, Germany
helpless child is a music project by Carl Luca Hofmann.
A bit more open to popular song
structures while trying to maintain a bit of that "what do I know what it is" attitude.
