collapse from the inside
waste my precious time
run for your life
death stops at level nine
cold & afraid
he is right behind
coming for your sanity
to destroy your mind
never be the same
down to level five
run through acid rain
death comes back to life
shelter your thoughts
before you go insane
death will get you caught
madness over your brain

when the heart starts to bleed
you;ll get lost in your dreams
when the heart starts to bleed
try to spread your wings
when everything seems lost
& no one can dry your tears.

step by step
memories getting lost
looking for love
hunting for your trust
the race seems aimless
down to level one
but it won;t be over
until the nameless man has won
where is my way
& the stairs to walk up - not down
hope the last step
doesn;t bring me back to the ground
shelter your thoughts
before you go insane
death will get you caught
madness over your brain

when my heart starts to bleed,
i;ll try to spread my wings & fly away
fly back into my dreams,
which kept & still keep me warm,
'cause you embrace me there.
& when you go to sleep,
please leave a light on at your side
that i can find you, just for this last kiss
& my heart starts to bleed again.

music: heart; straight on for you
mood: light headed
