Verlaufen

I once got lost
Got tangled up in my mind
I'm in the process of selling my soul
To a power that almost suffocates me
I let demons bribe me again
And I can't get rid of the ghosts I summoned
And now I wander here on dark streets
Feeling watched, naked, blind, and exposed

How long do I have to learn from mistakes
Always pass the same test
When will I stop hurting myself
And taking a thousand detours
I want to dive back into your love
And I have to ask if you'll help me
To exchange my chains for freedom
Because you remain as you are, because you remain as you are

I got lost again
Misjudged my strengths
And now I'm facing a pile of shards again
Feeling out of place, somehow abandoned
And now I lie there licking my wounds
Pitying myself and feeling sorry for myself
Counting the days, hours, and minutes
Until you find me again and set me free
