You can't take my thoughts away
Dependent on a mood
A feeling no one can describe appears
We ignore the signs all around us
By violently straining our nerves
I'm battling you cuz you're battling me
Cuz they're battling you for they could not be free
I'm seeing the points you can't see cuz you're blind
Cuz they blinded you for they could not see behind
I'm battling you cuz you're battling me
Cuz they're battling you for they could not be free
I'm going the ways you can't go cuz you're tame
Cuz they tamed you for they do not want you aflame
A Bird is born and takes off from the ground
Time and space are moving so fast you can't count
While the minutes and meters are passing by
We ignore our brainwaves' philosopher's cry
Goin' back, goin' forth, you won't ever reach
The point you can say of: "I wanna stay!"
You seem confused and I don't wanna preach
But there is still something more to say
No, I don't save you
You have to want to
No, I won't save
You!
Be your own phoenix and try to grow
A bird is flying and then crashes on the ground
Time and space are moving so fast you can't count
While the minutes and meters are passing by
We ignore our brainwaves' philosopher's cry
Gone back, gone forth, you didn't ever reach
The point you could say of: "I wanna stay!"
You seemed confused and I didn't wanna preach
But there's been something more to say!
You're exhausted, depressed and feel outplayed
By a force you are unwilling to understand
Confused, misused, you resign to refuse
To escape the moment, to free the condemned
By which notion this comes I don't know
But I surely will never, I will never offend
Your idea of life for the sake of protection
But if you want to, I will be at hand
No, I don't save you
You have to want to
No, I won't save
You!
I won't!
So be your own phoenix and try to grow!
So be your own phoenix!
