Ich lebe [English translation]

You are the pain

I have always been a masochist.

You don't bring me luck,

I am and will remain a pessimist.

You taste bittersweet,

suck me dry like a vampire.

I am cursed,

I simply won't get away from you.

I live, because you are my breath

Am tired, when you are my pillow

Am thirsty, when you are my water

For me, you are my other self. I live!

You are the poison, but the antidote works against me.

You are the money, I will spend you all as it won't pay off.

You are the drunkenness, and I want more alcohol.

You are the world, where shadow holds light captive.

I live, because you are my breath

Am tired, when you are my pillow

Am thirsty, when you are my water

For me, you are my other self. I live!

I stand here alone, the horizon lacks of thoughts.

You are in love - how nice for you, why do you never tell?

I live, because you are my breath

Am tired, when you are my pillow

Am thirsty, when you are my water

For me, you are my other self.

I live, because you are my breath

Am tired, when you are my pillow

Am thirsty, when you are my water

For me, you are my other self.

Come live, because I am your breath!

Be tired when I'm your pillow!

Be thirsty when I'm your water!

For you, I am your other self.

I live

Am tired

Am thirsty

For me, you are my other self.
