Nacht

My sight is bleak and blurry
I'm unable to visionize
My dreams and hopes are drowning
In a black sea
Of disappointment and frustration
My desperate attempts to survive
Leading further into isolation
Waking up with nothing
But fear and emptiness inside
It seems as if you can't hear me
Just like I can't help you
It seems as if
The last glimmer of hope
Is slowly but surely rotting away
Like the corpses, six ft. deep
Haunted and hurt I search for rest
But I became too tired to sleep
When the light is gone
I'm screaming at the moon
Fueled by all my frustration
For a solution to this bad joke
Called "my life"
'Cause I will never be satisfied
And I will never be right
And the only answer I find
Is to the question:
"How deep one can sink?"

Winter

The ground is frozen
And the air breathes the winter around me
Endless, wherever I go
I was brought here by one more
Of the countless failed attempts to live
And this time, I feel
It'll get worse than ever
From the dark beyond the curve
I hear death scream my name
From the shadows in my mind
I hear the devils laughter
Voices in my head and from the past
Saying "It's all worthless"
Just as worthless as myself
Pain, weakness, madness
The three riders of my apocalypse
Continuing to chase me
When they come, woe to me
Doom

Verachtung

I have lived through an endless night
'Till I woke up in an endless day
After the pain had left,
Death grew in my chest
(Starving myself but finding no feel)
In the empty rooms
I have seen myself laying
Faiding, painting ghosts on the walls
More of me has died
And I was born again,
Lifeless and blind
Wenn das letzte Licht fällt
Wird blau zu schwarz
Wird gold zu weiß
Und silber zu grau
Wenn die Sterne fallen
Und dein Blut fließt
Dann weißt du
Was Einsamkeit ist
Seeking revenge for all the loss
But i find no one to blame
Nothing is left, nothing but death
Through hell I go, this is to what it came

Possession of decay

After the first death, a thousand more will follow
By the waves of two-faced memories
A pale figure standing still
Chained to the ground
Pulled forth and pushed back
By the endless tides
On the surface of the water
The tides have left the pale reflection scarred
Nothing will change the fate
It goes on, and on, and on
Like a corpse, i'm laying here to rot
.
Thanks for listening to "Verachtung". -Einar/BL

Schatten NRW, Germany
Schatten is the one-man band of Einar, founded in the spring of 2018.
Since "Einsamkeit", it had found it's
way to the dark where it always was meant to be.
Schatten is about the expression of the pain of being alive in all it's forms- be it love, failure, addiction or mental breakdowns.
It was ended in April 2019, restarted in late june of the same year.
