Gib Mir Deine Augen

Give me something
Leave something here
Please leave something here of you
A few tears would be fine
Rub me with them in the evening
The tear flows but it flows weakly
I strike and help it along
And if I already ask for water
I might as well take the wells with me

Give me your eyes
Give me your light
Give me your tears
I don't want the soul
Give me something
Give me something
I beg you
Your thighs hang heavy
Take the lips off your face
I don't need bad smells
The eyes are the gates to the soul
I want to care for them, I want to hoard them
Now happiness lies in renunciation
Give them to me, you don't need them

Give me your eyes
Give me your light
Give me your tears
I don't want the soul
Give me your eyes

Give me your light
Give me your tears
I don't want the soul
Give me something
Give me something
Give me something

From the eye sockets, the soul wants to steal away
I stuff the soul back into the head piece by piece
Give me your eyes
Give me your light
Give me your tears
I don't want the soul
Give me your eyes
Give me your light
Give me your tears
But you shouldn't cry
