Now and then I'm scared when I seem to forget How sounds become words, or even sentences No, I don't speak anymore, and what could I say Since no-one is there, there is nothing to say So I prefer to lie in darkest silence alone Listening to the lack of light, or sound Or someone to talk to, for something to share But there is no hope and no-one is there No, no no - Not one living soul And there is nothing left to say In darkness I lie, all alone by myself Sleeping most of the time to endure the pain ♪ I am not breathing a word I have not spoken for weeks And yet the mistress inside me Is straining her ears But there is no-one and it seems to me at times That with every passing hour Another word is leaving my mind ♪ I am the mistress of lonelyness My court is deserted but I do not care The presence of people is ugly and cold And something I can neither watch nor bare So I prefer to lie in darkest silence alone Listening to the lack of light, or sound Or someone to talk to, for something to share But there is no hope as no-one is there No, I don't speak anymore, and what should I say Since no-one is there and there's nothing to say All is oppressive, alles ist schwer There is no-one and no-one is there
