Petty Misdemeanour

Devotion

[Verse 1]
I've been told to sit straight on
My old chair
As it broke from my weight
So for now I am dining
On the ground
With my new and old friends
And I've been talking to myself since

[Chorus]
Since you came from the hills of our masters
Falling from the sky
On the day when we choose each other
Floating free in time

[Verse 2]
I forsake my own paintings
In the flow of the shallow riverbed
What's done, what am I missing?
I follow signs I can't understand

[Outro]
Promise me, go away
Find yourself and stay where you are 'cause it's better
Forget me, forget you
Or all what should soon be forgotten matters

The Reunion

[Verse 1]
You can stay with me my precious
You can watch all over me
But there's a night I still remember
And a night I try to keep

You can hold it all against me
You can hold it to my head
But I know that it is not you
It's just me an my old friend

[Chorus]
I say: "Hey, You again?
I thought I lost you in the desert
And I never see you again."
I say: "Hey, You again?
The door is right behind you
You shall leave and not return"

[Verse 2]
You can do whatever pleases
Our minds and out hearts
But as long as he is present
We will still be apart
We will cherish what we're given
We will cherish our love
But it seems that with him near me
Everything's not good enough

[Bridge]
And my head turns back, it spins
The hole, I'm caved in
The walls are closing in
Realese me with that thing
That is me, that is you

[Verse 3]
There's a time we live in
And a time that is gone
So I suggest you dissappear
And all I craved for far too long
What is your reason of being
Why do you even exist
You're expelled from our empire
And with you leaves the mist

[Chorus]

Salvation

[Verse 1]
We seem so strange pushed to the wall
Like wing clipped birds in the fall
We climb so high just to look down
When we could've had the same view, from underground

[Chorus]
They said they'll take your hope
They said they'll take your soul
They even followed you back home
But they took nothing at all

[Verse 2]
The groomsman sais he killed the bride
The bridegroom notes she was never alive
The father states, she liked to ride
Into the morning sun, but one of them lied

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Just this one time, I didn't stop at the lights
I tare down that wall and the man it divides
Against all gods, that man didn't die
He gets off the ground and thanks me twice

Most Distant Stars

Instrumental

Squinted Eyes

[Verse 1]
I've been where I am for years
I think it's time to disappear
Dirty spoons and memories
Turn to ashes piece by piece

That little glimpse inside my mind
Grew bigger as we passed through time
Everything's coming to an end
How long will you sit and pretend?

[Chorus]
I just came to see the colors
Of your squinted eyes
You hold 'em back
You hold 'em back inside

I just came to see the colors
Your lid I scarify
An empty hole
An empty hole hole behind

[Verse 2]
Stretch and bend to fit the mold
Be careful you might catch a cold
I brought flowers, cooked you tea
First step into hipocrisy

[Chorus]

And there I see, you and me
In the hole, scratching up the sanctuary
And there I tell why I fell
With disdain, into you and out of you again

Into The Wild

[Verse 1]
I sit in place
And I wait for
The chems to start kickin' in
Now it's the time that we're leaving
The houses we grew up in

A silent voice, a little smile
Left behind, we shut the door
Your hand in mine
I am not afraid of wideness anymore

We called it home for the last
Twenty unforgotten years
Now that I'm about to leave
here, and then to disappear

Mark the words
Shake the hands
We promise to make amends
And then we let nevertheless
The promise evanesce

[Chorus]
And you can always hold it
Hold it in your hands
And you can always hold me
Hold it in your hands

[Verse 2]
You stole the crown
But the scepter followed on it's own
I have alwyas been wrong
About you, about home

So we share the one we've got
The life, the heart
Beautiful certainty
watch our limbs glow in the dark

[Bridge]
The world is mine
It's yours, it's ours
The time we spent
The days, the hours
It has just begun
At the tip of your tounge

All our friends of the past
They will see and they wil laugh
As our fingertips break through the glass
And into the wild

[Chorus]

Quit, Connect

[Verse 1]
Trapped in cages made of strongest bars
But in your hands they break like glass
Quit, connect
Everything for what it's worth
And as sweet as it could get

[Verse 2]
Liquid paint highly consistant
It's beauty yet so unearthly, doesn't seem so
Far from here
Take a breath and smooth your frown 'cause
One day farewell will disappear

[Chorus]
Nothing saves my head more than trying to get old
With that blissful place in mind, is where we rest our souls
There's a hand for everyone, I'm sure I found my own
This surrounding love of yours is everything I know

[Verse 3]
A little closer to the surface
And we can take gods dice away
We fill the tome
I've been away around the world
But finally returning home

[Chorus]

[Outro]
We pass the glass of wine into each others hands
And solve the greatest maze with our greatest plans
We expand into space and when we meet again
We've traveled to the place where it all began

Leave Me Alone

[Verse 1]
All my ways seem so dark and unknown
And the trees on my ground they have grown
Out of the space that I own
Leave me alone

[Verse 2]
Returning home for nothing, lonesome way
An intrinsic demon, along with me
On a leash he's got me, he pulls his strings
And my head it follows, unerringly

[Verse 3]
See it's tail, see it's teeth, it devours
It has found it's way to my home
Caught in fear I awake every hour
Leave me alone

[Bridge]
You wanna know where the passengers go when they leave
The streets and fall into sweetest dreams
A call, a laughter, a stroll
Out of nowhere the come and go
And the road screams I wasn't meant to be
And the mouth mourns god, let me sleep

[Verse 4]
Empty room, empty walls and one flower
Broken glass and the light falls inside
On the ground where I lay drained of power
Leave me alone

Seductive Despair

[Verse 1]
What are the odds?
My head has been placed
Forever
In invisible wealth
Will I succeed in what I do
Or am I already through?

Why are you afraid of tomorrow
When there ain't anything you have to bother?
And I refuse to understand
That I am
Part of the ten percent

[Chorus]
Heaven has closed since the day we arrived
And all of my vows kept in disguise
A million frames still got my trace
But they won't find me anyway

[Verse 2]
Now turn around
Constancy
Have always been there for me
A grounded basement
To rebuild what used
To establish greatness
And nothing to lose

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
The surrounding light keeps me blind to see
I gotta shield my eyes from the sun to believe
That there is more
But there ain't anything

[Chorus]

Swan

Instrumental

The Fantasy

[Verse 1]
I wish I got a little more of your senses
I wouldn't break this pity down
To the last compulsion
To the major frown

But I got a little piece of nowhere
In this nowhere to be found
Raise the ugly bar and
Flush this sucker out

Think of our happy children
In the better mood
Being so reluctant
Laxatives for food

Along with greater distance
Comes an increase of love
Substitute your wishes
Requested from above

[Verse 2]
Family vacation
Artificial harmony
Sunset over the ocean
Kids play in the sea

Get back here in the safe yard
Waves are crashing down
Drag you to the plane
And you're likely to drown

Reluctant as they are
They reply "we're safe and sound"
Question authority
Continue playin' around

Ok I'll count to three
Then you'll be here with me
"They didn't cross the ocean
By staring at the sea

The Broken Lamp

[Verse 1]
Can you believe me
And all I just said?
'Cause it feels like deceiving
Our little world

A world that we build with
Our bare hands
In years of suffering
Till the sufferings end

Now we have fallen
Down from our thrones
But at least I'm aware of
Where this road goes

[Chorus]
And I have taken the broken lamp
That once has led us to our first kiss
And I renew the wick, with my own flame
May it still be a light on your way

[Verse 2]
Get back where you came from
The glance in your eye
Can you please take a picture
'Cause the kids will ask why

(Why) Are you carrying these scars
And tears filled with pride
Are you missing your times
Are you satisfied

So who do I turn to
When I'm stabbed from behind
My biological mother
Or the woman in your mind

[Chorus]

The Better Man

[Verse 1]
Take this life of the better man
Take it to the way it was
But he encountered all darkest corners of our souls

Take this life of the better man
Descend it to a higher ground
Where we can watch ourselves
Spinning pointless pirouettes

[Chorus]
And I pray for-giveness to myself
But noone listens
And I'm capable of doing well
But I misread the letters
So I take this life of the better man
And in the aftermath I can see where this was going

[Verse 2]
Now we're the unforgiven
And our time is standing still
God why did he just give in?
Every damn impact against our will

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I would have come for you all
The rotten corpse continues
To capture the glimps of light
That never told the truth

The unknown legacy
Passed indiscriminately
Amongst the hungry mice
That we all despise

[Chorus]

The Better Man (Instrumental)

Masterpiece

[Verse 1]
out of the tomb into the womb you crawl
with blinded eyes you pull the shortest straw
it didn't work exactly as you planned
but this is not the end

a perfect life left for me to screw
with folded hands we paint the ceiling blue
a comfy place to be but I have dreamt
there is someone else to be thought of in the end

[Chorus]
there is such a silence down at nightfall
thick enough to keep us down after dark
we sail into the storm, right into our homes
do you got enough forgiveness to forgive us all?

[Verse 2]
a desperate try to keep your face unharmed
the different gods just keep their angels armed
let me comprehend at least a clue
let us begin somewhere new

I didn't wait for summer days to come
the summer came, you were already gone
thrown into a boiling pot of tar
I catch some mice and keep 'em in a jar

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
the roses hang their heads deeper to the ground
a flaw in this masterpiece has recently been found
the sailsmen catch up their sails in fear of being drowned
as the wind cracks up the ship and drags them to the ground

this fever hit me hard and leaves me with a cold
my fingers immovable, they tie me to the stove
between all the shattered truths I'm caved inside my own
failed curiosity

[Chorus]

[Outro]
another brick stone laid into the wall
along the windy road that separates us all
a cross on the mountain top
it's hard to keep the view on our warped astronomy

Into The Haze

[Verse 1]
you greet with laughter from the inside
take a step back and say it's alright
compensation for why you never try
compensation, lucky to be alive

[Chorus]
before I go
before I go into the haze
I fall

[Verse 2]
a common offer has just arrived
and you sold it to the other side
a straight desicion is never wrong
not even half as bad after all

your humming engine pumps steam in our minds
and you just sit there and watch our heads collide
wish I don't have to explain it all
if you don't get it, well that's your fault

go waste yourself just like your makeup
it runs when you cry
beheaded angel, a one-winged butterfly
just repetition inside of us
coalescing with what we lost

[Bridge]
for a leader I lack the cross
I'm suffering from attention loss
scratch me off of your TV screen
now I'm stuck somewhere in between

I'm not asking for a ride
just trying to get by
a great desicion in your own eyes
the consequence you defy

snuff me into your handkerchief
leave me wrecked with disbelieve
falling straight into solitude
just waiting for somebody new

[Chorus]

Shore

[Verse 1]
it's a matter of time 'till we know where to find
the island you've been hiding for a while
we're roaming our old street, dance 'till our eyes meet
knowing we've all lost this time
and we know where to find you, know where you lie
but your name has fallen out of sight

[Chorus]
and I stare into my own eyes
listen to the black bile
telling me the friends I have yet to leave behind
and I scream into the distance calling for forgiveness
all that I have said, well I hope that you don't mind

[Verse 2]
I better go, better not try to talk and be unmindful
you've heard enough, but I still like to chase
carry on wandering your wards and there at the road's end
everything is falling into place
you know where to find us, know where we try
to retrieve the slowly fading dye

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
from the core to the skin, creepig up
to the mouth, blistering
lift me up, 'cause I'm falling

breathing in, laughing loud
tell yourself you're the one breaking out, breaking in
and I'm falling with arms wide open

there's no name on your own cross
missing for all ouf us

[Chorus]

now the sign at the road's end leads to the shore

Demons

[Verse 1]
there are footprints of a 44 in the yard
leading to the shed behind the house
and the candlelight flickering
a single tear is trickling down your cheek
you're trapped like a mouse

[Verse 2]
before you open up the door
and stand before me
you wipe that single tear off your face
and you say that you tried
to vanish and hide
I just followed your trace

[Verse 3]
In your hands there's a brush and a canvas
You keep quiet, but there's a story it tells
And I sense your void
My questions you avoid
Your drawings they speak for themselves

[Chorus]
There's a beast in the picture you drew
There's so much I never knew
But your beast and my swine are tangled up
Your pretty face is showing what one was mine
These demons that once were mine

[Verse 4]
You ripped off my half of the photograph baby
Sucking the last blood out of me
Now there are two of us just feeling lost
And tired of hesitation
Wandering through restless minds

You took a ride on the backseat of my motorbike, darling
Rode it to the viewpoint up the road
Now there are two of us just feeling lost
Downed by disillusion
Falling through an open world

[Chorus]

[Outro]
It's the feeling of the tribe leaving you behind
And I tried to conquer the truth
It's a feeling I'd describe as the dying of a vibe
But I tried to conquer that, too
Somewhere in this life is a meaning and a scythe
Which comes first is not yours to decide

Empty Handed

[Verse 1]
we're passing the wine, passing the gold and passing away that's livin'
cherish the rest and keep your chest locked it's what's been given
keep up the pace as long as we pretend we're always winning
we're never done another death is just a new beginning

[Verse 2]
after the one died we leave the ruins empty handed
remember the times we fought? we leave the walls that we defended
and as the wind subsides, you lead us into, you lead us into the fog
since you left I feel a little, a little, little lost

[Chorus]
the tear in your eye means letting go
just hang up we're never getting old
far from the docks is where we dwell
shut it up, there's no need to tell
trying to keep the face
(face) to face we meet then gone without a trace
since you left I feel a little, a little, little lost

[Verse 3]
with a silent scream through darkest nights and empty bottles
three years from now I'll drown myself in muddy waters
I'll follow you down to the sea and hike across forbidden borders
to reunite what used to be divided into quaters

[Verse 4]
I never meant to cause you trouble though the words came out
you know me far to well I'm not the first to talk, I'm not the first you tell
the drak clouds hovering above you everywhere you go
just a normal conversation as we wander through the snow

[Chorus]

Missionary Scene

[Verse 1]
You got a lot to take, you're just a pressure valve
Your little actions girl, they speak for themselves
In the aftermind, is it what we can see?
The perfect misfit love, you want us to believe

[Chorus]
And still what you say summons all
And still my heart beats against the wall
And still what you say summons all

[Verse 2]
I saw you screaming girl in your missionary scene
I gave an extra load to my little beauty queen
It's just a riddle I will never understand
I'll wait with open arms although you're second hand

[Interlude]
I want to see but not to watch
The cursor jumps right to the cross
My hand's too busy making moves as you moan
Wish it was me you seduce

Until the burst I'm not the same
Your face is spilled with his cocaine
I turn my head but I still stare and you still moan
Wish it was me I'm watching there

[Bridge]
Cover up your scars and take the faster lane
You don't need your scarf and you don't need your brain
So hang up your phone and lay down in the scene
We're gonna make them crave like you did it with me

[Chorus]
And still what you say summons all
And still my heart beats against the wall
And still what you say summons all

[Outro]
Follow me into the fame
Swallow my smutty cocaine
I'd never do you any harm
I just repeat what you have already done

Eternal Youth For Celibate Old Men

[Verse 1]
we make a ride to the sea, gotta take care of myself
although conveyed by the priest, can't call god for help
father collect your sheep which went astray
I get down on my knees but not to pray

[Chorus]
take care or your feelings rise way up to the skies
god lived in my neigbourhood, struggling to survive
I enterd with a broken leg, but left with brand new eyes
a dog without a tail

afraid to come before my time
your head's going south
wipe the holy water from the corners of your mouth

[Verse 2]
boo, boo come here my little mistress and help yourself
a helping hand out of the dress, the clock strikes twelve
same place, same time, I never saw the look on your face
lick it clean and you'll be saved, trapped inside your maze

the hunt is up again, are the children ripe?
if I get enough before they uncover the lie?

[Chorus]

Abyss

[Verse 1]
you say I got a grain of dust stuck in my eyeyou think I'm gonna kneel down, lower my pride
with your measure it will be measured to you

well I never do anything twice
the two feet of mine still must suffice
but I've got to better?

[Chorus]
so this feeling will never stop
there's a limit for all of us
I caught a fever that I'll never lose again

[Verse 2]
you lower the limits here for us all
but it's your own rules you don't recall
it's the feathers coming out of your skin

there never was a problem, never was a fate
you only need a scapegoat and a tax must be paid
it's the killers coming out for you

[Chorus]
nail yourself to a silver cross
last picture of a flowering wheat
the proof of insatiable greed

[Bridge]
I am innocent my hands moved unwillingly
it's just your severed head on a pole arousing me
and the abyss of mind that's calling home

[Chorus]
call it ficition , a counterfeit
You love yourself so you preach love
You know nothing but you said enough

so this feeling will never stop
there's a limit for all of us
I caught a fever that I'll never lose again

Nothing Special

[Verse 1]
we like the same space, but I like to keep it wide
I'm of a new race, I'm neither black nor am I white
you ask what's my name, to me your names do not apply
Ich bin ein Unikum, something your words can not describe

[Chorus]
I'm all alone, hush
I like to think I'm special
my nose is oddly colored
I wank to myself
you know I'm really special
guess we won't meet tomorrow

[Verse 2]
chi-pooooo
chi-pooooo
ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cheap ch-ch-cheap imitation
c-c-c-come on, go lick the cieling, bride
another flame lost, I'm about to sober up
I'm your nova lover, another man, get it behind

[Chorus]
I'm all alone, hush
I like to think I'm special
my nose is oddly colored
I wank to myself
you know I'm really special
there will be no tomorrow

the sweet taste of my carelessness, a sting into the hive
quick and to the pointless, be my middlewife
we rush into progression, the diamond cards collide
sweet taste of my recession, lay your hands aside

break your ties, hold back the vomit and follow me
crush the rot, collect the feeling and strip the tease
open up the wallet, pay for the counterpiece
one step back to see it in its entirety

just a crack inside the shell of paternity
lift me up, the widow's strength is philosophy
simple mind, a greeting leads to a felony

[Verse 3]
a little akward though, yet without affiliation
you're frowning well today, you need a helping hand to whine? (hell no)
just watch your mouth, kid, another nosh-up's on the rise
a broken slate with lines, again the seasons have been bribed

[Chorus]
I'm all alone, hush
I like to think I'm special
my nose is oddly colored
I wank to myself
you know I'm really special
guess we won't meet tomorrow

the sweet taste of my carelessness, a sting into the hive
quick and to the pointless, be my middlewife
we rush into progression, just lay your hands aside

Occasional Feast

[Verse 1]
have you heard?
the wolves are coming back
these different waves just passed through our shack

it's getting colder and dark outside
and the fear drives us closer
remain tounge tied
there's a shiver in the darkness
a howling in the night
our feet becoming restless
I lay my hopes aside

[Chorus]
and the call of our herd means everything to us
distance seems quite absurd
I'm too afraid to ask
the call of my herd just drives me far

[Verse 2]
I can feel your paws touching my shoulder
your teeth beneath my skin
your breath on my neck
makes it feel so paperthin
as you look down on us as on your occasional feast
my shaking little neighbour is just as poor as me

[Chorus]
and the call of our herd means everything to us
distance seems quite absurd
I'm too afraid to ask

[Bridge]
as you put your roaring head through the door of our place
there's a million frightened eyes just staring at your face
I hear you scream into the darkness
there're so many of us
and you know that we're lost

a sudden warmth is comin over me, flooding our shack
there's too little place for knowledge to fit inside our heads
as lay my body down, sleep forever in the field
never knowing what, what it yields

[Chorus]
and the call of our herd means everything to us
distance seems quite absurd
I'm too afraid to ask
the call of my herd just drives me far
distance seems quite absurd, we're drifting in the dark
the screams of our hearts just perished in the flood
the call of my herd just drives me far

Us & The Downfall

[Verse 1]
i tried to understand
some things words will never mend
but something, something's in our way

and so we go, take out old photographs
walk down our different paths
but somewhere, somewhere there's an end

so I tried, be yours and kill the doubt
you're sure we'll work our difference out
but I thought, I thought you feel that, too

[Chorus]
it never felt like home
never felt like home
it's creeping down our walls
sleeping in our beds

it never felt like home
never felt like home
it divides us while we sleep
plants thoughts into our heads

[Verse 2]
outside the world caves
deep entwined we face each others loving eyes
but inside a gyro you're slowly replaced
just trying does not suffice
I'm pulling hot wires
inside a queen dies
yes, you did not suffice

[Bridge]
it's like the world tries to show off its deepness
I like the sound of a waterfall
it's like this world hates nothing more than weakness
birds are my favourite animal

and all this passion I have never seen in you before
I feel so lonely but I have to go, Ii have to go
and all these feelings I have never seen in you before
I am leaving, so now you show 'em now you show

thinkin' 'bout ways to get back home
just trying waiting for
different chemicals
wiping up the floor
I'm crying in my sleep
I got promises to keep
Never will they know, nor will they believe

It's like the world tries to show off its deepness
I like the sound of a waterfall
it's like this world hates nothing more than weakness
birds are my favourite animal

[Verse 3]
i tried to understand
some things words will never mend
but nothing, nothing's in our way

Rumors

[Verse 1]
I tried to think 'bout what you said again and again
but when you ask for it, I'm not remembering
I nod, I smile and make you feel like I understood
well you don't need to know, I would if I could

[Verse 2]
I just can't keep my hands away, I redefine betrayal
I like to think of love in a different way
come quick, cum quick and leave her lying under fading stars
You just want to be used but now you like the scars

[Chorus]
the rumors of my own mouth hunt me down
and I throw my defecates against the wall
the odour of your crap makes me want you more

[Verse 3]
since we crawled out of our holes, we found a million truths
not a single one fits into my views
under every stone to turn, a world conspiracy
the whole world is a moron except for me

[Chorus]
the rumors of my own mouth hunt me down
and the truth hurts like it should, concrete sledge
off guard in a ship steered to the edge
the chemical, there it goes creeping in
to the worng side of our fake dollar bill

[Bridge]
a counterfeit without eyes
what's going wrong in my mind?
the precondition is wrong
deliverance's gone but that was just one

[Verse 4]
another cripple cripple fear is coming over me
I like the fault in the symmetry
one thing I can explain, ten left to falsify
my kid's just wound its knee and now it's doomed to die

[Chorus]
now the rumors of my own mouth hunt me down
and the truth hurts like it should, concrete sledge
off guard in a ship steered to the edge
the chemical, there it goes creeping in
to the worng side of our fake dollar bill

I Remember

Instrumental

A Desperate Lie

[Verse 1]
In the valley of trust we spend the night
My desperate heart bursts into light
As the morning comes, we lay awake
Paradise is just a lie away

[Chorus]
Your heart is just, a lie away
Memories just, a lie away
That girl is just, a lie away
Our love is just, a lie

[Verse 2]
The mind keeps the eyes
Shut as if there was something behind left to find
Insidious(heimtückisch, schleichend) and unseen
It diffuses to the edge of me

And the morning breaks loose
A side I've never known
Cut the record on repeat
I swear I'll say it all

[Chorus]

Now as always, every answer
Is a mountain, is a mountain
Now as always, every answer
Is a mountain, is a mountain
Now as always, the pretender
Is a mountain, still countin'

Meant To Be

[Verse 1]
I never wanted you to know
I never found a hole deep enough to throw
it all away
But that day you came and laid your shine
Over what was left behind

And I've known you just for so long
To know what to expect
The insight came so slowly
To slowly to detect

Our talks just seemed unending
I was an ordinary lad
Until you asked me: Does a good bye
Always feel that sad?

[Chorus]
So I follow down your footsteps
To the bright an mighty park
The embrace in the doorway
Lured my hands out of the dark

So we open a new chapter
A story yet untold
Somehow still not knowing
How it might unfold

[Verse 2]
I changed the expectations
To promises to keep
I'm tired of pretending
There's something else to reap
There's a plan beneath the mountain
Far beyond my restricted mind
But I'd rather look the beauty
Right into the eyes

[Bridge]
Somehow the feeling got stuck to the ceiling
I haven't slept for one night on this weekend
Fooling myself, too hard to believe it
You are the scent of my gold

[Chorus]

If it's a lesson to be learned
Or a badge that's to be earned
I don't know
Until the fire disappears
And this one feeling that I fear
I let it go

Protective

[Chorus]
Deceive your ghosts
And keep your soul clean
It just started healing
Go swallow the gun
Just like you swallow
All your secret feelings
Deceive your ghosts

[Verse 1]
Shut the engine down, open door
No longer hide
I found your color on the safe
I thought there was
Something inside

Turn around, gasp for air
Is somebody there?
I get the feeling, I see you leaving
Dark, long hair

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Contraception, empathy, a single cell
Plain perfection
I've read your lips before you cast the spell
I got the key but pick the lock
Let noone in, obstructive mind
I tied your arms to the ceiling

[Bridge]
I had it once and I have it now
A broken jar and a broken vow
I said it once so I say it now
Sweet surrender, you got it all
you got it all

Tell the ghost it's about time
So I go and call you mine

How Could

[Verse 1]
Sure I have seen some better days
I wanna be stuck inside the swirl
Doctor can you fix my bleeding face?
Cause I got a date with a pretty girl

I'm so ashamed, don't wanna tell
Is there a god you follow?
Locked in my own prison cell
You of all people, you should know

[Chorus]
You got the disease I got the medicine
Well I'm sure you won't feel a thing
Look me in the eye, now to the left
I'm sure this too will pass

[Verse 2]
Let me guess your dad heals, too
Picked your book right out of his shelf
I know exactly what I got (and what's missing)
So keep that crap-talk to yourself

[Verse 3]
You know what I got in my brain
Quit smoking but die either way
You got the drug, I got the vein
candy for kids, some shots for me

[Bridge]
This bird has got no feathers
Clench the fist inside
These colors raped before my eyes

You birds seem like a million
You got your fathers eyes
Too many facets left to hide

[Chorus]

Such A Sacred Sky

[Verse 1]
The day I found my passport
I realize that there are places
I have never seen before
And I call your number
An hour later you stumble
Through my open bedroom door
I say I wanna leave
I beg you to come with me
To places we have never seen before
Ok, I come, I come, I come

[Verse 2]
Throw away old papers
Say what else I'm gonna win?
Well the sun the other day
It barely touched my skin

This place is the furthest
I've been away from home

Call For Our Perspective

[Verse 1]
I watched the lights go out
you turned your voice down
Amenity's just gone
left it's crown
with the remnants passing slowly
we're losing sight

spent the last few days just staring
against my empty walls
then I just turned my head and lost the bearing
into the night

[Chorus]
When will this world stop falling for me?
I just think you set the bar a bit too high
And we're out here desolated
mind and soul capsulated

[Verse 2]
I guess all the lies were self defending
The cornerstone in the yard
If I could I'd just change the ending
A little spark

Every forest tells a different story
But all of them are made up
In the end it's just death and glory
And a little less dark

saunder aimless
through empty minds
a cheap frame is
all that's left behind

A Subtle Force

[Verse 1]
In a year further down the line
We will dance in the streets
You're calling me from the other side
But I'll be in my dreams

We were that close, that close
To the point where it all returns
We were that close to cut it out
And a new day begins

[Verse 2]
In a year further down the line
I will be on my feet
And I walk just another time
The distance: you to me

We were that close, that close
To the point where it all returns
We were that close, inside out
The shallow water burns

[Chorus]

It's a secret I'll never tell
You got up before you fell
A little darkness between the lies
A message in disguise
A message in the skies

[Verse 3]
It's been a year further down the line
You haunt me in my dreams
This little word follows me around
I still don't know what it means

We were that close, that close
To the point where it all returns
We were that close, I crossed out
One sixth of a turn

It's a secret I'll never tell
You got up before you fell
A little darkness between the lies
A message in disguise
A message in the skies

It's a secret I'll never tell
You got up before you fell
We were all set to fail
A never ending tail
A never ending tail

Some forests never end
A falling fortress to defend
A sentence without bail
A never ending tail
A never ending tail

Just Strong Enough To Break

[Verse 1]
We knew for a lifetime
You can't just go unknown
I burned my name and my wand
They got no power in this town

[Chorus]
So this love died quietly
But the basement changed just slightly
In lonely hours I'm burning
Down our well-known home

[Verse 2]
Out of battens and old cloths
I just built a new god
Deaf and dumb like the old one
Our words get lost in the flood

[Bridge]
And the wrong side has been turned up
This day I cried to our new god
The force is just strong enough
To break me

And they say our love can't be broken
I am waiting for my own trial
And they say our love won't be forgotten
It's what they say but I

I got my doubts about it

I can't read anything inside these lines
We'll have your dad pick us up
Like in old times
I'm getting closer to yet uncrossed borderlines

I will head forward
Into the unknown
No, it's not all gone
But the wrong side

The Cracking Truss

[Verse 1]
The falling skies match your eyes
The fading color of your demise

[Pre-Chorus]
Here's one fake, wrap me up
Little slave, come undone
I hate to say, you got it all wrong

[Verse 2]
You act as if there's harm to us
A spreading crack inside your truss

[Chorus]
So little truth behind your eyes
The rattlesnake prepared to bite
You open up
I howl your name into the night

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Your Voice

Instrumental

Perished

[Verse 1]
So here we go
Here we are
Casting shadows

My eyes turn to blue
I always feard
But never knew

So, indistinct ends
Crave the last drop
Of my patience

[Chorus]
An unending story
Ran out of words
just improvised
rightful vainglory

An abandoned mansion
Doors and windows gone
I walk inside
Do I smell benzene?

[Verse 2]
Crawl out ouf holes
And into skulls
Of people wailing

In front of your house
I'm in my car
I sit here waiting

[Bridge]
We're out of cards
And there's noone to tell
Me "everything's gonna turn out well"
I'm the last one to see
But was the second to know
This pile of stone will move somehow

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
So here we go
Here we are
Casting shadows

My eyes turn to blue
I always feard
But never knew

[Bridge]
We're out of cards
And there's noone to tell
Me "everything's gonna turn out well"
I'm the last one to see
But was the second to know
This pile of stone will move somehow

A lot of words were said, the least were actually true
Tell me: in the end what did I mean to you?
And I talked to your mother
She said the last time you cared
Was the evening when I was accidentally there

In The Crashing Waves

[Verse 1]
Well I keep you in my locker
of dreams I never tell
I thought I know you
But I know you just a bit too well
The displacement craves for
Another day

[Chorus]
Some places are better left unknown
Disappearing is the strangest way to go
I have always known the answer
But never spoke
Cut the raw skin on the fences
It's what we owned

When the warpaint
Crumbles we ain't
That confident anymore

Your waves crushed
Beneath us
They flushed your hope to our shore

Under the same sky
And the same lie
Back and forth
In my head

While the scars and
all the false friends
tend to stay
until the end

[Verse 2]
When you played Ecstasy of Gold
I was close to the apnea
I don't believe you're still watching us
I just like the idea
Under this wild sky
Follow the shoreline
'till they merge into one

[Chorus]

We're on the same side
In the same fight
In the end we die alone

We crave the same lights
the same cold white
But our days keep moving on

Beneath Us

[Verse 1]
lessons to be learned hover over me
and I've got somewhere to go, a way
A shivering peasant and a frozen lake
Cracks in the picture of hidden landscapes

[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere inside of your eyes
A child got old
And somehow in the sky the light
Of a star went cold

[Chorus]
In the summer the memories fade
The constants change
and symmetries break

[Verse 2]
Most distant stars cast a shimmering light on your thighs
And I hear the cadence of a muffled drum, resistant tribes
You got your head in the distance
And your cigarette on fire
If I had only known what was going on
Behind your eyes

[Bridge]
Sometimes sleazy, always easy
This path leads right home
It's safe to say:"There is no reason"
With you we have grown

[Chorus]

Sometimes a cry for help
Ceases before it gets heard

[Pre-Chorus]
