One by one the days passed by
I watched the people having fun and lie
Lie at their loved ones and lie on the floor
Keep on asking, keep on longing for more.

One by one the hours passed by
Counting the minutes, looking up to the sky
The birds are free, the birds are wild
One day I started to believe, I was an hopeless child.

One by one the minutes passed by
Tears were falling down as I started to cry
The world was cruel, the world was never mine
I wanted it to pass by quickly, yes the damn time

One by one the seconds passed by
The bad thoughts came to get me, wanted me to die
The demon reached out for my hand, I was rather shy
But I still accepted his hand and closed my eyes

Stop.
One second.
One minute.
One hour.
One day.
All I ever wanted was to run away.
But I felt numb, I felt sick, I felt the pain
Everything I was hoping for, was it in vain?

It was the longing for the unknown
And the disgust to everything I knew
Now I'm caught up, somewhere, in some kind of zone
And for the first time of my life something felt true;
The fear. The regret. The will to escape
But the devil already has me in his fangs, I'm too late.
