Lieben Leiden und Leben

You can't see them
The tears on the soul
You can't hear it
When a heart breaks quietly

You hardly feel them
The never clenched fists
One's own fear
Is far too essential

They are well known
Love under glaciers
The cold happiness
The mediocrity

You swim with it
In the stream of the apathetic
Concern
In the protection of solitude

The candle of my life
Should burn at both ends
She may be insatiable and small
She is all I have

My Alphabet of the Senses
Tell me all the ways
Made of goosebumps
Until the very last day

When breathing timidly means giving up
Then rather love and suffer and live

What's so bad
Of immensely big dreams
The first step
Who conquers his fear

Just dream once
From every wondrous flower
When you wake up
On your pillow lies

The spark of enthusiasm
The Sun of a Fool
Dear lion before the abyss
As a donkey in front of the cart

I give you golden rain
If you throw your fears overboard
But I won't lend you a penny
If you just run in circles

Paying to stumble means never floating
Then rather love and suffer and live

When recognition means surrender
Then rather love and suffer and live
Then rather love and suffer and live
