lyrics

Now there´s no chance to turn and start all over
I´m reeling in a daydream that falls apart
The world is moving too fast for my imperfection
I’m trapped in my own mind with a burning heart

I´m striding through the center of the storm
I´m striding until the rope is torn
the rope is torn

They´re waiting to see me falling
watching the sky, me and my tightrope
They pray for my death, my failure
as I pass the edge, the point of no return

And I follow the stars
no matter how far
and search for the place that I once knew
I tried hard to be like you
I tried to break through
Now I´m on my way to get all over you
Guess I´ll never redeem
my impossible dream
but I had to shut this theater down
All your dogmas have failed
I cannot be saved

The blind are leading the blind into damnation
deluded by the factories engineering their minds
and they want to force you to rewind, obsessed and clueless
projecting all their anger onto the dissenter’s life

I´m drifting through the echoes in my mind
I`m tumbling on the tightrope of my life
They´re waiting to see me falling
watching the sky, me and my tightrope
They pray for my death, my failure
as I pass the edge, the point of no return
This is the point of no return

And I follow the stars
no matter how far
and search for the place that I once knew
I tried hard to be like you
I tried to break through
Now I´m on my way to get all over you
Guess I´ll never redeem
my impossible dream
but I had to shut this theater down
All your dogmas have failed
I cannot be saved
