lyrics

I can't remember where I was born. I woke up on this island, surrounded by silence.
One black tree has grown up over me. And as long as it is dead there's no hope for me ahead.
The branches of the crown, are already hanging down. Brittle and rotten, so afraid to be forgotten.
Somehow I'm shackled inside the roots. I feel like I'm a wreck unable to move.

Where is the bridge to escape this, escape this...

Waterstream of silence. This river can't be crossed.
I have to leave this island, I realise I'm lost.
Riverflow's too strong, hopeless I'm sinking down.
Trying to swim was wrong, but the bridge was never found.

I always get driven back to my island, this is the only thing what's in my hand.
No single raindrop and no light, can revive the dead black tree to life.
And building a bridge from dead, wooden planks, represents my death, the very last prank.
There is a storm around my head, swallowing every motherfuckin' word I ever said.

Where is the bridge to escape this, escape this...

Waterstream of silence. This river can't be crossed.
I have to leave this island, I realise I'm lost.
Riverflow's too strong, hopeless I'm sinking down.
Trying to swim was wrong, but the bridge was never found.

When you've got scars, it means the wounds have healed, you see?
But what if incisions damaged the innerlife in me?

Waterstream of silence. This river can't be crossed.
I have to leave this island, I realise I'm lost.
Riverflow's too strong, hopeless I'm sinking down.
Trying to swim was wrong, but the bridge was never found.

Without a bridge, this river can't be crossed.
I really gave my best, but I'm already lost.
Now the tree gets sawn, the pieces I throw away.
Right into the flood. But the memories, they will remain.
