Bist du taub? [English translation]

Everything is so quiet

Cannot sense any sound

Have tried to get drunk

Am completely clear

Wanted to wipe you out of my blood

But it doesn't work

Would like to kill memories

Always see your face

Stings me all the time like a knife

Even hide in my dreams

Get up as if I was tortured

Would give it all for you

Would face everything

Cannot breathe freely anymore

Sadness burns my chest

I have made you too sad

I have always loved you

Don't know anything anymore

Killing my mind

Are you deaf or don't you want to hear me

It hurts so much, I can't get rid of you

Cannot give you up, mustn't lose you

Cannot set you free, you belong to me

Oh, I love you, you ripe me apart

Do you want to destroy me?

There are no more tears

Cried away, everything empty

I'm cold, I'm freezing

Unmoveingly

Eaten up by doubts about myself

My head as heavy as lead

But still too much energy

Cannot turn it off

My throat is drying out

What else can I tell you

Are you deaf or don't you want to hear me

It hurts so much, I can't get rid of you

Cannot give you up, mustn't lose you

Cannot set you free, you belong to me

Oh, I love you, you ripe me apart

Do you want to destroy me?

You make me sick, come on, heal me

Go through my hair with your fingers again

Take my hand and go to the horizon with me

Until the end of the world

I promise that it's gonna be just like before

Are you deaf or don't you want to hear me

It hurts so much, I can't get rid of you

Cannot give you up, mustn't lose you

Cannot set you free, you belong to me

Oh, I love you, you ripe me apart

Do you want to destroy me?
