Save Me 03:28
One more step and I will fall Who will save me? One more step and I will fall Who will save me? I scream and I cry And I don’t understand why you had to die Won’t someone find me a reason to live? For I cannot find one myself Only one reason to live Only one reason to live

Incomplete 03:32
All happiness, so hollow without you and every path I follow just leads me to another painful memory out of the blue once meaningless, now shattering… I can’t believe that it is true Undone – utterly incomplete I love you eternally They say that time, it heals all wounds I don’t think so. Outside I’m fine, inside I’m ruined But I don’t show I don’t know how long it will take Who knows when my will it will break
6.
All our dreams, the plans we made Then came the cold hand of fate Cut me down to the bone And now I walk this road alone.
7.
Little musical clock get under way Remind me of our happy days Tell me tales of our long-gone past Make me believe this time it will last But then I realize It has all been just a lie I break down and cry Oh Lord, won’t you tell me why?

But Dust 04:45
What’ll be has never been Too much of my concern. What has been is gone and past The lesson has been learned. What is left is here and now – A mountain of debris I wish I could turn back time And bring you back to me It’s like tryin’ to walk with broken legs Fallin’, crawlin’ Yet I keep my head up high When I should be mourning And make believe one day a new life Will be dawning There are times when I am weak And self-reproach creeps in Did I…? Could I…? Will I…? Would I…? Can speculation kill? Wanna wipe it all away And focus on what counts. People think I’m strong and brave But I still have my doubts. We are but dust in a hurricane whirling. We are but dust - that is all that we are.

Lonely Man 03:16
I’m just a lonely man And I got no place to run. I’m doing the best I can But only duty means no fun. Wish I could break out and just be myself But all those people tearing at me Hardly leave me room to breathe. My faith is weak And I’m afraid it won’t be long Till I’m gonna freak out Already all my hope is gone. I don’t wanna be me Wanna be someone else or dead. Just leave me alone – I gotta get it all out of my head. Can’t deny sometimes that I would Rather be just free but A simple and quiet life Doesn’t seem to be meant for me So I’m a lonely man.

Infinity 06:43
And the world keeps turning on No matter what we’ve done And it will keep turning on Long after we’re all gone.

about

I wrote all songs from our album More after the death of my first wife. So along with some melancholic instrumental tracks that's what most lyrics are about: loss, hope, despair, anger... and all that beatifully transformed into music. It's best to listen to this concept album as a whole with no breaks between the songs as they all blend into one another. The only exception is "Lonely Man" which of course stands alone ;)
