Those broken branches
Beneath my feet
Broken in my memory
They startet bleeding
I tried not to believe
When the things melted
Cried and sang to me
I‘d already felt it
An empty road
A crowded street
An empty road
A crowded street
I could have run
I could have...
I could have run, now
I could have...
Walk steady
Fast but without speed
Through the streets
Of inhumanity
You could have asked me
About my apathy
I‘d would have answered
I‘d like to be
An empty road
A crowded street
An empty road
A crowded street
I could have run
I could have...
I could have run, now
I could have...
Hollowness
Of the real
I had to squeal you!
I had to kneel down
You could accuse me
Of disbelief
But I‘ve seen you naked
And I‘m in awe.

It‘s said the desert is a lonely place
It‘s said the desert is a hopeless place
It‘s said the desert is growing every day
It‘s said the desert is a lonely grave
Just leave me lying here in the desert sun
Just leave me lying here in the desert sun
I‘m burned out but I
Will come undone
I‘m dried up
But it‘s allright
But I won‘t follow you
No I wont follow you on that road
To the hills
To the mountains
To the peak of the mountains
To the sun
Bright desert night
Let me be your child
In your garden mild
When the moon arise
Lonesome desert night
I‘m your only child
In your garden mild
When the moon arise

The Wheel

Turn the wheel
And read the signs
And run, and drive and fly
In planes so high
Control the tickets
On your way
No time to waste
To hesitade
This crystal sreens
They show
They shine
They scream
This will all come to an end!
This will all break down and bend!
This will all come to an end!
This will all change and transcend.
Seconds
Minutes
Hours
Days
Fly by
Get born
And live
And die
In everything
In everyone
At everytime
The moments gone
Before
You
Even
Realize
This will all come to an end!
This will all break down and bend!
This will all come to an end!
This will all change and transcend.

One Equals Two
03:54

Man in the mirror let me ask you
Why can't I look into you
As you seem to do
Is it because I think I'm one
Whereas you know that we are two?
Same eyes but different view
The night became another day
You and I
So close
So far away
I've seen myself in me and you
One equals two
Is it because I think I'm one
Whereas you know that we are two?
Same eyes but different view.

A Rat at the Ball
03:03

Howlin‘ coyote
In the dark of the night
Back in the city
A vision, a sign
That leads to this house
With shimmering golden lights
Bodyguards and fancy cars
Outside
Where you hide in a hedge
Till you grab one of these suits by the neck
And put him down to sleep
In the shrubs
To hide him
There for the night
As you‘re slipping inside
Backsliding into the temple of light
Greedy moths in the shine
Have some champagne
And some pretty talk
Enjoy their puzzled faces
As they start to realize
That there‘s a rat at their ball
That has eaten from their plates
Has shaken pretty hands
And has seen it all
To witness
All this fake bliss
And to piss at their shrine
No hiding, not for this time
Let this last dance be a wild
One

Sisyphus

Tell me why you roll this stone
Up that mountain full of bones
A million here who tried the same
The next round the same old game.
It‘ s like a loop
Always in repeat
You take one big leap
You fly, you fall, you break your feet,
And you‘ re back on the same old
Track.
Tell me why you feel so lone,
Sick and tired, scared to the bone,
You‘ve lost control, you‘re falling down
You curse, you cry, you‘re smiling now.
It‘s like a loop
Always in repeat
Still you keep on creeping on
Although there is no need
Life‘s like a loop
And you‘re a beautiful beeing
When plain absurdity becomes
Your symphony.
Then you‘re back on this good old,
Track.
Like a loop
In repeat…

Dreamliner
06:04
|

When I found the letter
I knew exactly what to do
I packed only the most important things
And went straight down to the harbour
The City was sleeping
Only the shipyards and docks
Where sending out some muffled distant sounds
Into the gloomy city sky
Just a hint of a breeze in the air.
And then I saw the misterious ship
At the quai
Like a wise old sleeping animal
„Catching the last dreamliner“,I thought…
And went on board...
In your darkest deepest blue
Let me drown into
Every drop of ecstacy
Comes in waves with you
I‘ve been hiding for too long
Trapped in concrete rooms
Now shake me, burst me in the storm
To myriad parts
Of me and you

New Sky
05:58
|

|
Cranes in the new sky,
Are flying over paved fields,
Of the old sleeping harbour,
Graciously.
While the cranes at the quayside,
Are rusting silently.
And the wind still keeps breathing,
Forcefully.
I‘m walking past a merry-go-round,
Of a long abandoned playground,
In the far distance the noisy city,
Is screaming silently.
Where the people are too busy or too numb,
To even take a look around,
To get a glimpse of the new sky,
Before it‘s passing by.
Passing by.
