Last Note
An emotional piece from the POV of a creative celebrity who struggles to find himself in his work anymore. His relationship falls apart as it's based more on what he can do and not who he is. This song is his signing out of life. Stepping away from love, his career and everything else to see if he can find himself in anonymity. Killing the past to make a new future.

Wunschliste
Every little part of me says
that this is not the way
but every single time I wait
I go a little more insane
now I’m grasping through the glare
to take away the pain.
Give it all to get a second
from the rigor of these chains!
Floating through the moments,
no longer recognize the days.
Devoting all to chase atonement
for my self-destructive ways.
I’m hoarding all your love
like it’s going out of fashion.
Save plenty for yourself
but all I’m getting are rations.
So tell me of my mission,
is it right to seek compassion?
I want to find the light
but I can feel my system crashing!
Bones
to the wall
Skin
sagging off my frame
Dead
to all the world
Who’ve
glamourised my name
Taken what I’ve offered
But I’m lonely just the same
A tree who’s given branches
Just to fetishise the pain!
Every single part of me,
says that you are not the same.
I really wanna listen
but then who would play your game?
Now that you’ve departed me
I’m drowning in the shame
of everything I gave to you
to only get the blame!
Bleeding in the dark,
I don’t know where it ends
Running down my arms
as I lie to my friends.
I remember when the light
wasn’t just a mask!
When the laughter in my voice
wasn’t far too much to ask!
I remember when the sun
could penetrate my haze
I remember all the laps I’ve run
To get away from better days!
Bones
to the wall.
Skin
sagging off my frame.
Dead
to all the world.
Who’ve
glamourised my name.
Taken what I’ve offered
but I’m lonely just the same!
A tree who’s given branches
just to fetishise the pain!
I don’t think I’m meant to live this way
I don’t think I’m meant to live this way
Try to do it any longer I might go insane
I don’t think I’m meant to live this way
I don’t think I’m meant to live this way
Try to do it any longer I might go insane
This is the last note that I’ll stand to say,
I’m sorry for all of the pain I create
we all live to suffer and I wanna stay
but these moments are broken
and cut like a blade!
So here is the closing
that I’ll let you keep
The words that I’ve chosen
To sing you to sleep.
This is the last note
that I’ll sign with a tear,
This is the mic drop
To a damn fine career.
