Der Verlust [English translation]

I disappear day after day and night after night

Every morning lacks a part of me

Every morning lacks a part of me

I barely want to look into the mirror, I'm disappearing.

I don't want to die out empty anymore, and since you don't watch anymore, I take what I get

And I take what I can still seize

Only myself, only I can no longer seize myself

And I turn myself out

I disappear, slip out of my own hands

Every day a little more

Every day a part of me

I fight for the little bit of life

Ask only for your glance as long as you don't see me

You make my life disappear

You can't see how I'm unintentionally falling apart

As long as you no longer see me

I can't feel, I can't live

Between my own lines I wanted to move

Bending under them, I must now seek my place

I don't want to sleep any more, don't want to dream nor awaken

Everything's just becoming stranger and stranger, I don't recognize myself anymore

I don't why or what for or where to

And so I fly away, without a destination and without seeing

I fight for the little bit of life

Ask only for your glance as long as you don't see me

You make my life disappear

You can't see how I'm unintentionally falling apart

As long as you don't look at me any longer

I can't feel, I can't live
