Another night

 

Another night

Another night among some others

Keep searching the light

I´m sure I will find it ´round the corner

 

He said I was pretty

He told me I´m everything he ever wanted

But then after a drink

The monotone headache just came back

 

And I still feel quite alone

And I´m waiting to get warmer

Guess this time it will pass for sure

And I try

 

To get over

To move on

Make my way back to the crown

 

Another night

Another night back on the wheel of fortune and love

Some distance to find

Some music to fight my hopeless state of mind

 

If justice is just an illusion

Silence seems to make no sense at all

So give me some time

And give me just something to hold on

 

Look I still feel quite alone

And I´m waiting to get warmer

Guess this time will pass for sure

But I try

 

To get over

To move on

Make my way back

To the crown

 

Don´t leave me alone

 

And if one day I told you

That I had to die

Would you come to spend the last day with me

 

Oh I´m just worried about it all

Don´t know how many seconds will be gone

´Till I find the answer

 

Don´t leave me alone

I´m so afraid

You see I´m not as strong as I used to be

 

And don´t take me wrong

I need you above all

But I know I´m not the person of your fantasy

I´m just me

 

Please remind me

Remind me of last summer

Please stay calm

Don´t cry, don´t speak

Don´t leave me here in the darkness

 

All these shining lights

And I know I will never be good enough

I keep on waiting for eternity

 

So don´t take me wrong

I feel you so close to my mind

But I know you´re not the kind of person that would pardon me

You´re just like me

 

Falling into pieces

 

You got time

And I got shelter

We can´t deny

That this was our song

 

Hold me

And leave me

And hold me long enough

To leave it gone, leave it gone

 

I´m falling into pieces

I leave it all behind

I´m falling into pieces

I get the message right

 

Holding me now

Could never be wronger

Than right now

Holding me now would lead to everything

That I don´t wanna feel on my own

 

And I can´t breathe out the words

That I would love to hear from you

I got time

And you got shelter

 

I´m falling into pieces

I´d leave it all behind

I´m falling into pieces

I got the message right

 

I´m falling into pieces

I´d leave it all behind

I´m falling into pieces

I got the message right

 

I´m falling into pieces again

I´m falling into pieces my friend

I´m falling into pieces again

 

Gracious

 

Everything is falling to place

Everything is just a perfect amount of grace

 

So just do your thing to me

Lets go, lets go

 

Everything has turned around

But I don't care about it

Leaving home

 

And all that I was

And all that I'll ever be

United here

 

It's a deep one

It's a deep one

I knew it from the start

 

It´s a deep one

It's a deep one

Go on, unleash my heart

Unleash my heart

 

Everything has fallen to place

Everything is just a perfect match of time and space

Go on, show yourself to me

Lets tell ourselves the story of how it shall be

 

It's a deep one

It's a deep one

The sky is full of stars

And I won´t run away

 

It´s a deep one

It's a deep one

Go on, embrace my heart

Embrace my heart


Home around here

 

The more I grow

The more I can see

 

And keep the memories of

The good things to me

 

Complicated words

In complicated thoughts

 

Still finding

Still finding

Home around here

 

Like Sunday afternoons in the woods

Like Sunday afternoons on the road

As well as music and long walks in the rain

And tears and laughter and fights and lots of champagne

 

First we didn´t know what to do

And then we didn´t know what to say

And then we found a way

And then we found a way


Hope for more

 

I had told you I would let it go

I had told you it was much better so

Queen of ice, slowed down heart, thoughts in stone

Just reflections of a place called home

 

You had told me I would go ahead

When the snow melts down

And there's no choice instead

 

So now I'm here

And hold my head up

Hear this whisper that I

Own this land

Own this land

 

Hope hope for more

I hope hope for more

 

So now I'm here

And hold my head up

And

Hope hope for more

Hope hope for more    


I got


I got wrinkles

My eyes should be done

I got too much belly to move on

 

I got brains and got a heart of gold

I got lips that make some mad I've been told

 

I got lists of calories in my head

I got fears that take the room instead

 

I got hands that carry my own truth

Why do I feel it won't be enough for you?

 

Holy crap

I got to be this thin

To become all I want

And to be loved by the world

 

Holy crap

I have to make ends meet

And if you told me how

I'd swallow that recipe

I´ll swallow that recipe

 

I got hunger for so many years now

I got breasts in C size cup

Thanks for asking

 

I got lots of temperament inside

Why don´t you see my eyes shining through the night?

 

Holy crap

I just say

Holy crap

Holy crap and it´s true

That I´ll never be what they would want me to

They're just the devil in disguise

Telling all these lies

But not mine

 

I got music in my heart and feet

I got everything I need

I am everything I need


Island in the sun

 

It´s been a busy day

And I don´t really know how to manage it all

So I make my way through the crowd of people

Can anyone feel so alone?

 

And I´m tired of words

And I´m tired of books and music

And fun and beer and stress and fear

 

And I´m longing for an island in the sun

With you by my side

That would be alright

 

In the nights you´re gone

Lying awake without a reason

Should be sleeping, instead I´m creeping

How could something that started under a fallen star

Go that far?

 

And I´m longing for an island in the sun

With you by my side and with peace on my mind

And I´m longing for an island in the sun

With you by my side

 

I just want to fall down

Deliver me to our love

Please hold on

Don´t blame myself for caring

 

Be strong

Just do what you do to me

That´s good for me

That´s what I need

That´s what I need


Keep it warm

 

Keep it warm, keep it warm

I will not do you harm

Not this time

 

Listen I´ve discovered

There´s a place for us too

 

It´s covered up by frozen hand

Would you leave with me this land?

Would you leave with me this land?

 

Look, when we are together

The clouds are hanging there in vain

I´m not insane, I´m not insane, oh no

I´m not insane, I´m not insane, oh no

 

Bring it out, bring it out

And tell me what´s about

To be kind

Drifting here in spaces between

There´s a lot of things to do

And just hoping to be true

 

The company you keep me

Is more than I ever thought I´d gain

 

I´m not insane, I´m not insane, oh no

I´m not insane, I´m not insane

 

I´m not insane

How long will it take me to complain?

Shall I tell you the story how I tried to get away?

 

When we are together

The clouds are hanging there in vain

I´m not insane

I´m not insane oh no

I´m not insane

I´m no insane, oh no

I´m not insane, oh no


Migraine

 

When I was young

I know they said I´m fine

 

And how you look on

The picture with me, pale and tired

 

You know we´re moving 

I know life is too

 

And now we´re somewhere

Dancing into the blue moon

 

But sometimes

I need the urgent call to feel alive

And sometimes

I pray to have the guts to fall apart

 

And sometimes

I cling onto your words and then I fight

My love

And sometimes

The color I put on is one to

Hold on tight

 

And sometimes 

The best way to know how is when I try

My love to see you one more time

And sometimes

I know that life won´t break me so I hold on tight

Hold on tight

Hold on tight

 

One

 

And all this time when we grew up

I held my breath upon the grass

To drink all night, the roof on fire

To become one

 

So hold my hand while I would preach

my lullaby

Before the dawn, in my retreat

To become one

 

And all this time

And all this

And all this love

Would you bury

Would you bury all this love

To become one

All of this buried

All becomes one

 

On my way

 

Stand by me

Let´s soak up this moment

It´s been a long time ago

Since you´ve been here

 

Hold me tight

That´s just the best thing to do

I´ve come a long way my dear

To get this relief

 

And the truth

We both knew it

Long before we met up here

 

And these turns

I surrender

To what is already there

 

I´m on my way

 

Leave it gone

These winters of doubting

Now the birds are back in town

And my chest is vibrating

 

To the sound

Of the story

Noone else could ever tell

 

And your hands

May be empty

But how could you then receive something new

 

On your way

On your way

 

And the light

We both knew it

Long before it was that clear

 

And this land

I surrender

To what has always been there just for me

 

On my way

On my way 

 

The Empress II

 

This ist he empress

She´s not there to impress anyone

But to express herself

 

This is the empress

She´s not there to confess anything

But to conquest her reign

 

All I can give

Is all I can take

And all I can give

Is the anker of, the anker of faith

To express what I´ve become

 

And oh I reach out for love, anyone

I will hold on to the pure ´bout anyone

 

And all I could

And all I could say

To express what I can give myself

 

So if you want a twist

Then be a twist for life


The Rope

 

I´m afraid to fall

Standing on that rope here

Noone there to call on

On my own

I grow strong

 

Shivers running down on me

Glad that noone´s around here

Have to concentrate now

To move on

To grow strong

 

And then I look back at the ceiling of this big yellow tent

And I don´t know much about life but I guess

That´s how it´s meant to be

 

Free like a bird, still feel like a child

But I´m making my steps and I don´t look behind

 

And I feel like a newborn

And I feel like a newborn on earth    

 

What to feel

 

Staring at the sun

We have been living all night long

Still feel your touch as I´m smoking my last cigarette

 

Hope that you´re ok

Struggling on your way like me

Waiting for a sign somewhere to tell me what to do

 

And I was wrong but right

Lying by your side

Feeling your soul breathing next to me

So gracefully

 

And ask me if I´m proud

I´ll tell you that I can´t help feeling blessed about the fact

That I found you

That I found you

 

And now I can see beauty

I found it in our eyes

And I can see how long the way will be to get to me

And now I can see pureness

I found it in your smile

And it´s hurting me so bad that I can´t give you what you need

I just don´t know what to feel

 

And now I can see beauty

I found it in your eyes

And I can see how long the way will be to get to me

And now I can see pureness

I found it in your smile

And in an unexpected way

I slowly know just what to feel

I know what to feel

 

Would you?

 

How strange to live on this platform

See it´s funny how I tried

All the certainties that I brought here before

Seem like a brief mellow comfort

 

How I long to take this offer down

They said light glows

And throws no shadow on the wall behind

And I think

How exciting not to feel what I´m supposed to

And just let it being unsolved

 

To grieve over all the opportunities or

To hold the thought that´s feeding me

 

I would have trusted them if I could

But don´t blame me, ´cause I know you would

I know you can trust me

 

Would you leave my offenses?

Could you be there for sure?

Look at me, I do nothing

I just breathe on my own

 

Would you head for this fever?

Could you leave it behind?

Look as I keep on growing

Need to calm down my mind

 

I´m no expert in this sort of play

And I  fall back into pieces

Unless I learn to hold on tight

And let go

 

To breathe the air that solemnly surrounds myself and

To breathe the air within

 

So would you trust me if you could

Well don´t blame me, ´cause I know we´re good

See now you can trust me

 

Would you leave my offenses?

Could you be there for sure?

Look at me, I do nothing

I just breathe on my own

 

Would you head for this fever?

Could you leave it behind?

Look as I keep on growing

Need to calm down my mind

I need to calm down my mind
