De/Vision - Void (2000)

Back in my room again
A smell of cheap perfume
Trapped in myself again
Prepared to meet my doom

Permanent reflection
A need for mental food
Afraid of my actions
Here in this solitude

So predictable
And conventional
Just re-invent yourself
Nothing fictional
It's only natural
So re-invent yourself

Mental infection
The answer lies in you
Far from perfection
There's so much work to do
Broaden my perception
Can't see the wood for the trees
Things lose their attraction
I hate this lazy me

So predictable
And conventional
Just re-invent yourself
Nothing fictional
It's only natural
So re-invent yourself

So predictable…
So conventional

You reach out your hands
To the mere pretence
You dream to be a part
Of this perfect world
Wear your tempting grin
You'd do anything
Whatever it takes
To be his favourite girl

Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
You burn so bright
For your star tonight
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
Your dreams will die
For your star tonight

The fake world you adore
What did you take it for
You were just a pleasant change
In this unreal world
Never belong to him
You didn't mean anything
You were just another
Willing and stupid girl

Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
You burn so bright
For your star tonight
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
Your dreams will die
For your star tonight

Now you feel so real…

I'm unclean
Undress me
So unreal
The frame I see
I stand stripped to the waist
Before myself
Is it really me
Or what I'm trying to be

I won't drown
In my tears
And go down
In my fears
I am stripped to the skin
I feel ashamed
Is it really me
What I pretend to be

This life is just an illusion
A dream that never ends
I'm always trapped in confusion
On lies it all depends
If this is just an illusion
Made up in somebody's mind
I have to draw the conclusion
It must be someone unkind

I won't lose
My trust again
So untrue
It's still the same
So I strip off my skin
To ease the pain
Is it really me
What I believe to see

Coming from the stars
Into that space
No healing
When a lonely heart's displaced
Left behind
In a foreign land
So should he dare
To reach out his small hand

He's a foreigner
He will never be same
A foreigner
Wants to be from where he came

Coming from the stars
Into that world
So far away
From what he calls his home
A begging to be free
To let him go
A groaning scream
Surrounding any soul

He's a foreigner
He will never be same
A foreigner
Wants to be from where he came

He's a foreigner…

When I'm lonely
Deep inside
A defending hand
Takes me to a friend
When I'm falling
Asleep to dream
Of a naked dawn
Something keeps me warm

I feel better now
That you are so close to me
You make me high
Anywhere
I can taste the joy
When I feel so close to you
You make me high
Anywhere

When I'm leaving
That safe place
Someone knows my way
In the deepest grey
And when I'm missing
Your safe home
I know I'm secure
Everything's so pure

I feel better now
That you are so close to me
You make me high
Anywhere
I can taste the joy
When I feel so close to you
You make me high
Anywhere

Stories of the past
Make my heart ache
The shining of the stars
Will make the earth quake
Gone too far
The angels start to sing
DAS ENDE IST NAH
And pain is what it brings

I found heaven, I found joy
And peace within my mind
In the sand, in the grass
In the hill of the land called
Blue Moon

I heard it in a dream
Don't sell your soul
Now there's a need to scream
A need to change my role
'Cause stories of the past
Make my heart ache
Time goes too fast
For my sake

I found heaven, I found joy
And peace within my mind
In the sand, in the grass
In the hill of the land called
Blue Moon

I need an overdose of life
My secret to survive
To get a big kick out of live
I always go against the tide
I burn so fast but bright
And never see the red light

Don't keep your eyes on every step I take
Don't restrict me in every move I make
I wanna be free
Just take your hands off me
I gotta be free
No-one else can live my life for me

Despite of any consequence
Whatever makes no sense
I hold the whole world in my hands
And when I feel I'm out of sight
The chemical delights
Will lead me safely through the night

Don't tell me what I'm supposed to do
I am the only one who pulls me through
I wanna be free
Why don't you let me be
I gotta be free
Oh, why can't you just see
I wanna be free
Just take your hands off me
I gotta be free
No-one else can live my life for me

Don't steal the air from every breath I take
I don't give a shit for all the rules I break
I wanna be free
Why don't you let me be
I gotta be free
Oh, why can't you just see
I wanna be free
Just take your hands off me
I gotta be free
No-one else can live my life for me

Once I had a dream before I woke up
When I try to walk I fall asleep
Don't know where I'm going to,
I don't even know where I have been
But still I try to realize the truth
That I have seen

So I pray
Please, help me, please
Please, help me, please
Please, help me, please
Please, help me, please

Reveal the precious spell of every moment
Inhale the flow of life in every second
Rely upon the spirit that you hide
Behind a lie
I will keep on trying till the day
That I die

And I pray
Please, help me, please
Please, help me, please
Please, help me, please
Please, help me, please

Take my fear away
Don't lead me astray
Take my fear away
Don't lead me astray

Please, help me, please
Please, help me, please
Please, help me, please
Please, help me, please

Help me to stay on this road and
Don't lead me astray

No matter what you say,
You know you're guilty
Nothing could excuse this circumstance
You can clean your hands
But your mind stays filthy
You always trip on your own demands
And hope won't die
Just go on and pray the saint
And hope won't die
But no-one else can hear your plaint
Now you want to fall into oblivion
Will that make it easier for you
First of all you need to be forgiving
'Cause the one who suffers most is you
You want to live without restraint
You want to live without restraint
You want to live without restraint
You want to live without restraint
No matter what you say
You know you're guilty
You can clean your hands
But your mind stays filthy
Nothing could excuse this circumstance
You always trip on your own demands
And hope won't die
Just go on and pray the saint
And hope won't die
But no-one else can hear your plaint
You want to live without restraint…

Give in
Go on and live in sin
Give in
Your ugly face always seems to win
Give in
That feeling goes under your skin
It calls you from deep within
I'm staring out of empty eyes

Give in
And let some reason in
Give in
The time have come for a new begin
Give in
The fever burns under your skin
It haunts you deep within
Don't listen to your empty lies

Give in
Go on and live in sin
Give in
Your ugly face always seems to win
Give in
That feeling goes under your skin
It calls you from deep within
I'm staring out of empty eyes

Don't give in
And blow out everything
That once was you
That you'll be
You always were so free
Free as a bird
In a cage
Longing for the final stage
And so I sing
For you
'Cause it breaks my heart in two

Always remember
That you will find
A reason to live your life
Always remember
That deep inside
Your true will is still alive
Always remember…

No, don't give in
And let your heartache win
These days were meant
To decline
Your dreams were never mine
And still you're more
To me
Than a fading memory
That's why I sing
For you
There's nothing else for me to do

Always remember
That you will find
A reason to live your life
Always remember
That deep inside
Your true will is still alive
Always remember…
