Kein Vampir, nur ein Mensch mit kaltem Herz: wach, wenn andere schlafen, immer zwei Sekunden zu spät. Über emotionale Taubheit und das Stehen vor Türen, durch die man nie geht.
I don't sleep much, but I stare a lot
The ceiling knows my whole damn plot
I don't bite necks or fear the sun
But I still vanish when the day comes
Calm on the surface, but something burns slow
Smiles built on reflex, not something I know
Every word lands two seconds late
Whatever this is, it doesn't translate
Nothing breaks, it just distorts
Thoughts get stuck in short reports
Movements practiced, tight and clean
But what does that really mean?
Reflections look rehearsed to me
Like someone acting naturally
No panic here, no sudden twitch
Just a sinking calm that doesn't shift
Still alive, but I stand alone inside
I stand alone
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
Ooooh
I stand alone
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
Every door I stood before, but couldn't cross
Because it felt like I was never invited in
Every moment, I felt so cold
Because my heart was already dead
Every day, I couldn't join
Not because of the sun
But because of my empty soul
Yeah, I was scared
I was sitting in heaven's waiting room
But they had no files on me
And I left before the silence cracked
The devil said, "Stay where you are for me"
So I walked out of hell without a sound
No place above, no fire below
And so I found my breath in a world between
I don't drink blood, but I know the thirst
I'm not a vampire, just a human
With a heart so cold in his chest
Still alive, but I stand alone inside
I stand alone
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
But I've felt much worse in the past
Every door I stood before but couldn't cross
Because it felt like I was never invited in
Every moment, I felt so cold
Because my heart was already dead
Every day, I couldn't join
Not because of the sun
But because of my empty soul
Every door I stood before but couldn't cross
Because it felt like I was never invited in
Every moment, I felt so cold
Because my heart was already dead
Every day
Not because of the sun
Because of my empty soul
Alive, but I stand alone inside
I stand alone
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
Ooooh
I stand alone
I stand alone inside
I stand alone
