Lyrics:

Bracing for the fall

Useless and alone
pushed aside by everyone around you
cover up your tears				
never let them know how much it hurts

Keep you on your knees
Feeding off the habits that define you
You're easily erased
never let them know you're within reach

no one gets to tell you how you feel
no one gets to tell you how you feel
no one gets to tell you how you feel

Bracing for the fall 

Tearing at your soul
Making sure you'll never raise your voice, again
Carefully controlled
Out of place but never out of line

Keep you in the dark
left to question everything you dreamed of
Selling you a lie
Never let them get inside your mind

(chorus)

You have let yourself been pushed around too long
You've got to speak up now, before you're gone
(Now) everyone is weaker on their own
You can take these bastards down  
one by one   

no one gets to tell you how you feel
no one gets to tell you how you feel
no one gets to tell you how you feel

Bracing for the cold
Getting ready for their fall

"Als ich versucht hab Tropfen zu zeichnen war es einfach.

Tropfen tropfen auf heissen Stein, destillieren,
Tropfen tropfen in ein Fass, ohne Boden
und dann denk ich an das Weltall, mir wird schwindlig
und die Tropfen destillieren.

Die Tropfen werden zum See,
dem See der nur dir gehört,
ich hätte so gern an das Weltall gedacht,
mir wär schwindlig geworden"

When I tried to draw droplets it was easy.

Droplets dripping onto hot stones, they're distilling
droplets dripping into a barrel without a bottom
and I'm thinking about outer space
and the droplets are distilling.

The droplets turn into a lake
a lake that belongs only to you
and I would have loved to think about outer space
and start feeling dizzy."
