Lyrics: Fabian Jochum
Music: Tom Hoppelshäuser
There is no such thing as forever
Boil it down, bottle it up — I’m dancing like a feather
No weight to hold me down
Sand always feels more comfortable than bricks and bones
I feel the pressure from all sides as I grow old
How long can I ignore it?
Just push it away, day after day
Even though I know life is finite
Eternity is always haunting me
Lived half my life in quiet decay
Never knowing I’d drift away
I’m floating in between
**** yeah, I’m smarter than them
I cannot get hurt if I keep my distance
But when the doors are shut and the noise slowly fades
I start questioning my own kind of mortality
I feel the pressure from all sides as I grow old
How long can I ignore it?
Just push it away, day after day
Relentlessly
Time won’t change
But it’s twisting me
Even though I know life is finite
Eternity is always haunting me
Lived half my life in quiet decay
Never knowing I’d drift away
I’m floating in between
’Cause I will sacrifice my life
To see the light behind your eyes
I wanna feel the fire underneath me
Losing myself and who I want to be
Will I find my way?
Stasis became my foundation
The anchor I hold on to
As my setting keeps changing
It’ll be my pillar of strength
I thought if I stay the same
My life would never change
Even though I know life is finite
Eternity is always haunting me
Lived half my life in quiet decay
Never knowing I’d drift away
I’m floating in between
