break it all
break it all down
if this is our last night out
let’s make it count
this place is dying
time is running out
for all of us
and all of us
the water will wash away
all of my mistakes
that I’ve accumulated
over the past two decades
I can see the beauty
of being built from stone
you never wither
never gonna die
you preach forgiveness
but you are living by the sword
when will you act
when will you change your ways
the time is now
nothing left to fix
nothing to repair
you wipe it off
and keep on doing the same mistakes
again and again
you only see the diamonds in the sky
no one is accountable for the mischief and the frail
so you can keep your prayers and your fake dismay

everything has been the same
in this place
for the past seven years
same old places same old faces
it is contagious
though it is safe to the touch
I don’t want to die this way
I’m leaving now
I’m leaving
you and everything about you behind
I’m shifting all my focus or the sad remains
that I haven’t lost to heavy drinking
and the decade that I lost in the process
I’m just filling the void sucking me in

we are, we are
living on the edge of war
we are, we are
pretending everything is right
a revolution’s always starting from within
and never from the outside
I couldn’t give a damn less
about the fucked up traditions that you try to push on me
it is them and obviously never us
what a convenient way out of responsibilities
when the sickness seems so far away
I don’t feel safe around you anymore
I’m not sleeping so comfortably next to you lying on the floor
if you are content
with the world we are living in
you sure got some issues
that need to be resolved
but none of that is my fucking business

feed me love
let it die
and feed it back
of all the people
that I have been spending
my time with
you’ve always bothered me the least
someday I might go to my knees
in this state of decay
we all struggle every day
please get me through this with your company
and I know it doesn’t change
the way you’re looking down on me
I’m tired of my back against the wall
ignite it! ignite it!
like gasoline
love lives from desire and the in-between
of all the people
that I have been spending
my time with
you are …
oh I hate it here, I hate it here
and I hate everything and I hate everything
say it will all be well
say it again and this time
make it sound like you’re saying the truth
if I ever felt that desolate before
I did a pretty damn good job forgetting it all
arms weak, my heart is heavy
I’m a terrible habit
please forget me
I look at my reflection
and it’s nothing like it used to
nothing like it used to be
the voices in my head
have changed their tone of lately
don’t get me wrong for I love every day
and I wouldn’t want it any other way
everyone is lost in this
there is no easy way
and there are no cheap tricks
you got scared?
alright, we all get scared from time to time
but even if we fail we will just be fine
would you bet with me
on the ending of this all?
would you bet with me?
you saved me, you saved me

“I used to know the name of every person I kissed”
now comes with such a bitter taste to it
maybe you better asked for their age
if that’s what you call an apology
I‘m just glad you didn’t get away
you’ve seen more spine in jellyfish
but we‘ve all seen you groom underage kids
separate the art from the artist
doesn’t work this way
this is just a punch
in every victim’s face
just look at all these left wing places
full of friends that “would never do these things”
this is nothing but pathetic
how hard can it be
to take responsibility
for your own actions?
no one is expecting perfection
we all got so much left to learn
self-reflection, listening to others
can sometimes be uncomfortable, I know
I promise I will be so proud of you
how can we change for the better?
if this music is a boys club scene
it is time to change visibility
conformity through tradition
exploit me, everyone is doing it
like a silent agreement
used to customs
used to doing like your father did
I was raised thinking
I was supposed to look up to these men
never the lead, always a fan
deemed to see and never be seen
these lies over your truth
you know who wins eventually
you could be tens
you could be hundreds
but you still got nothing
you still feel like nothing

my body contracts
my mind is riddled with regrets
why does it always end the fucking same for me?
birds of a feather flock together
I sure can spot them on first sight
truth is: I just love to die inside
I run from the shoreline to your front door
just to find my hopes crushed on the floor
am I getting too close or why do you run
as my skin keeps to fade in the sun?
second guessing – more like second failure
am I running in circles?
why is everything repeating itself
over and over and over again?
honestly - who can I trust safe for me?
every smile, every hope,
every love that I forgot
has turned into dust
every day, every year
I petrify a little more
lie to my face
who wants to be loved
forever anyway

whatever happened to your dreams
a passion so pure
losing its light like a dying star
you’ve got to shake it like you mean it
could you have been happier
in another life?
could you’ve been happier
if you got a second try?
I promise this is just something
that we all got to learn
this is a slow demise
into my forever-grave
where I will rot away
until it all ends in hell
when finally you’re not depressed
and you ask yourself why it can’t be
this way all the time
don’t be afraid
just tell your friends
that you are not alright
I promise they will understand
because this isn’t weakness
this is strength

This Island Earth

I miss the sand between my feet
and how the swell always caresses the shore
I miss the sound of your voice
and the smell of your hair
and how you always fell asleep
with your head resting on my shoulder
these days have long been past
they will stay as memories
and still I like to remember them
for what they were
and who we still are
all the nights that we spent awake
talking about feelings and mistakes
we had enough of both of these
these island days had our minds twisted
and all of our friends have missed it
problems that have more than two variables
have always been so hard for me to solve
I forget a fraction of your smile
with every single day that’s going by
and my only regret is
that I never got to know you better
we both knew the love we had was true
the first one to confess to this was you
you broke my heart when you were faithful
now I know that you just had to
you taught me how to be myself
you taught me how to love myself
and I will always respect you for that
