1. Closer still [Long version] (5:30)The watery light that mirrors in your
desirable eyes
The way you move your lips
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer just to hear
what you say
You speak of loneliness but here's a soul
adoring you

It's a wounded heart
It breaks in two
And in its pain
It sings for you

It's a wounded heart
That feels afraid
Moves closer still
Fulfills its fate

Your freedom's poverty that
you do not recognize
The way you stalk the night
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer just
to know who you are
A slightly glowing ember
I'm the breeze igniting you

Your smile incredibly sweet
That's what I cannot hear
I seek the friendly water
Anything to sooth my desire

Your moving out of my sight
And there will be no dawn
All that could have been
Remains with me internally lost


2. Closer still [Radio Edit] (3:22)The watery light that mirrors in your
desirable eyes
The way you move your lips
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer just to hear
what you say
You speak of loneliness but here's a soul
adoring you

It's a wounded heart
It breaks in two
And in its pain
It sings for you

It's a wounded heart
That feels afraid
Moves closer still
Fulfills its fate

Your freedom's poverty that
you do not recognize
The way you stalk the night
While talking to somebody else
I move a little closer just
to know who you are
A slightly glowing ember
I'm the breeze igniting you

5. Now I fall [Factory Remix] (4:08) Sometimes I can't fall asleep
You lie beside me and I weep
Dancing shadows on the wall
Once you caught me... Now I fall

Sometimes I feel low and trust
Turn to anger and disgust
Crawling darkness in between
No light in reach... No silver sheen

Sometimes I feel so ashamed
To be mercilessly framed
Idle hands and eyes that stare
But no escape that I would dare

... love and trust...

Pain increasing every day
No thruth left I won`t betray
One day our way leads to an end
Why do I cry... I understand

That it's too late for me to go
I should have left you years ago
Beyond this point of no return
Hatred's flame will ever burn

... every day...
