about

Black Water deals with the mental struggles of addiction, especially those which nest invisibly and persistently over decades.
Addiction to attention, toxic and dangerous temptations we learned from society and/or violence, traumata which guide us the wrong way and finally the urge to hurt oneself just to satisfy a requirement we wouldn't know of, if we weren't conditioned to believe in its existence.

Black Water introduces a conceptional journey by outlining basic human fears as a preparation for a deep-dive into the general question "What defines being human?"

lyrics

I pray for the light
Which disappears from the surface of this world
Black phlegm begins to macerate
Suffuses more and more, a toxic deadly shore

But I can't quit this poison
I am an addicted person
I close my eyes and let it pour

I never see a reason
I'll never be okay
Devour light like brandy
It's getting heavier to take

I fight all my demons at once again

But I cannot tame
The pressure in my lungs
Am I the one to abandon the throne?
No water for the flames
Always ending up the same
This searing fever

I am caught in the middle
Feel the heat and the shiver
Take it all till the last drop
Let it pour in these veins
I can feel every moment
Every grain, every second

I will dive again in blackened water

I dive again in unknown water

No!
I choke on blackened water
Wells out of my sewn up mouth
I can't breathe, I can't see
Disrupt this entity

Oh!

And I caught myself being down on my knees
Praying for peace
To something I know, it doesn't exist

Lost in skewed cogitation
A billion combinations
There's no solution for an incomplete equation

Will you be my unknown?

But I cannot tame
The pressure in my lungs
Am I the one to abandon the throne?
No water for the flames
Always ending up the same
This searing fever
