So that’s where we finally meet Though you don’t belong to this city Your eyes are reflecting fear „Oh God, please don’t make me bitter” Your smile was not sincere And you tried so hard to stay witty The last thing you said to me „Now you win, but i’m not sure who’s the victor” Wait - i’m not asking you now to explain yourself But you have to understand, i won’t descend Any lower, anymore For now, it’s like a myth you cling to, always uncomfirmed Like the catholic God you pray to, unanswered For how long Should one hope?

She’s the kind of girl, you never meet but you want to know It’s a sudden urge, getting under your skin, oh honey It’ s a pleasant burden, something you can have but you can never own But if the chemicals work, she’s taking you where the dogs are running You can tell me anything, When you’re out of wit and you can’t proceed You’ll be calling me To get things done There’s nothing i can guarantee But the times we have, oh the fun we’ll have if you stick by me It’s a slight return, it’s a mystery that you’ll never solve When you’re stuck in a twirl, sitting in the bathtub, smoking Like a love that hurts, like a song that hits too close to home If you bear it well, she’s bringing you the soothing morning Don’t tell me that, you just can’t stand The mess we’re in, ’cause i know well You love it when, you get attached And you can have, your drama, and in the end ...you’re crawling back, to start again

She was my soul sister, driving away, on an American highway She was my soul sister, driving away, like an American highway But that’s nothing a little Bourbon and soda wouldn’t fix But that’s nothing a little Bourbon and soda wouldn’t fix

You’ve taken me To a place i never had wished to be And though i was aware of the fact we’re changing I never shared your belief That what we’ve been Will slowly fade away with time I’m not trying to make a statement, or reach consent I lost my will to look into your head We’re equally right or wrong, so let’s face it, and embrace it You can’t deny the past, it’s still there So sing with me song as if they’re meant for you Memories Days when maybe you were true You can see The first day of your life If we leave Faster than the speed of light

On one of the last days You slept in a wet room Wishing you were back home With a new life in your womb We locked in ourselves there Nowhere to go to And I can’t really blame you You had that animal instinct always But that’s why I loved you Even losing myself Not that I had to But that’s fine as long as You know what not to do But I’m not supposed to Stressing over something’s gone Now how much I hate it What I had praised that You can’t break the circle And everything comes back If I could’ve perfected it Just like Bill Murray Though that couldn’t have saved me For my father made sure that one day I’m back into my pieces I can’t escape it So I guess that’s it for me Call in the builders It’s time for restructuring And when I’m ready I’m still the same, yet I’m something new …so, my body starts breathing With paint so comforting And hundreds come to see me To witness the glory Of perfect recycling It’s mankind’s small victory Over mortality So drink with me, cause You don’t need to warn me Won’t get too excited I already foresee Get to the point when I can’t resist and I let you destroy me But I shouldn’t worry Another 20 years will come soon

These are the days when the golden streaks Of sun cut through the open spheres Erase the books and useless words And songs that will be never heard These are the times we’ll live our dreams We’ll rule the caves, for trees extinct We’ll find our peace in shadow where The sun won’t burn us into ember These are the days our holy scripts are Slowly sinking into the sea Time for us to abandon work And cherish life, what it’s worth These are the days we’ll grow our wings To get away, but no one seems To mind there is nowhere to go And it’s too late to fight our war These are the times for the choir to sing The song we kept in our memories The time to neglect all your chores As nothing matters anymore If I had a reason not to worry I wouldn’t write these words, believe me If I had a reason not to worry But I see your eyes are already burning Let me be the first to go

Another desperate night Can’t get my head around Your list with all my crimes Stare at the wall, calling your name I know you’re still not sleeping But I’m not sure you hear me… For all the times you cried How I must change my life You can’t stand seeing me writhe It’ll take more time To find you again I’m waiting for that Thursday But there’s one thing that stops me: Your life is my death but if i need to decide I will stay, stay--- You may dislike, but i stand my Ground and i won’t get away, away ++++ day and night, In and out I feel like I’m running round and round “Just one more time” - With my mouth so dry I know I ask for this every time But you seem so fine With your new-found pride When we could have had a whole lifetime But you expect me now Just to get by With old photographs and regretful sighs You’re my shrine But I know I Built you once on blood-stained ground If I look outside At the melting sky Is that the sign how I lose my mind? Well, I had died So many times So what’s the deal if I’m straight or a liar? So take my life, You decide How to stop this, cause I need to stop now +++++ You say, “I want to see you try Either/or, I don’t mind” With an obnoxious smile It seems you’re convinced, I was born yesterday You add – it’s worth living But there’s one thing that concerns me: Your life is my death and I might add Even if I go insane No one sees why I won’t move despite Our life leads me to the grave, grave

The year of paper When we were closer I thought i found myself, while i was shattered Reading your letter Now i know better With gravel in my shoes I couldn’t have got away It’s kind of funny When you’re pushed to the edge You find what it takes to survive If you’re fine, i’m happy Though you still have to learn, How to look straight into my eyes The year of leather we drifted further Another way of life - can’t really blame her Though i’m still battered What does it matter? With cinnamon in my pocket I know i’ll be okay …i know what i said, but i’m actually stronger without you I admit there are things i regret Ad things you did that i’ll never understand I made my point, i hope one day it gets to you So let me tell you a memory instead And i will keep your picture in my had forever

A winter day Yet felt like it was summer The humid air’s just partly to blame I led the way A path that we discovered, Hours from the city we stayed But i’m not mad I’m not mad For as long as i am breathing, nobody can take this day from me How we laughed Supporting each other, though it was getting harder to breathe I grabbed your hand You said we’re not just lovers, but friends -and i was fool to believe it But i’m not mad I’m not mad For as long as i am breathing, nobody can take this day from me
