Now that we're facing the ocean It will swallow us and take us home But this waveband would wait forever For us to settle before we drown We toiled, wore out, tried and failed We cursed the city and its streets For leaving us all alone With clenched fists and cold feet Tried to leave this orbit of faded stars Tried to hide the heart from the head Are you a liar when you’re lying to yourself? No matter how this will end Won’t ever change the way I feel We always were and we’ll always be Divided as one We find ourselves abandoned Detached from what we’ve been All our hopes and fears Taken by the sea I’ll enjoy these last seconds Suffer from the lack of oxygen Cradled by the rhythm of the waves Taken by the sea

warpaint 02:54
Colour my heart dove blue Colour my thoughts jet black Colour me far away A new coat of paint on the bleakness of these days We burn away like cigarettes This town is An ashtray And the stubs are washed away Washed away by the rain Colour my hopes sea foam green Colour my anger blood red Colour me far away A new coat of paint on the greyness of this place We float away like vapour trails Scattered to The winds And the sky doesn’t give a shit It just looks bored and grey Crooked in the air Trembling ground No turning back Open range No spurs, no reins No head, no neck Used to hide behind tiny thoughts But I declare I’m at war! I’m at war! With everything and everyone Dashing ideas against concrete walls I’m at war! I’m at war!

embers 03:37
If someone sent a spark I’d catch fire right on the spot Talks passing by And I drown in a cloud of sounds And we are here and you’re not And somehow everything feels wrong So I hold on to What I know, why I’m here, why I need to sing these songs Though I wish you’d still be around Every drop of sweat, every word of every line, every note And I’ll try not to fool around anymore I know I tend to get lost in my own thoughts With eyes shut down And no more world beyond the lids But now I’m here without apologies But a palmful of grit A second life to live In a million pieces at our feet Burdened with a word of goodbye And a song to set it free
4.
The rails pass by like clouds And I’m thinking of our time on the road Of peppermint liquor laughs, trampled plastic buckets And a slight longing for home Stumbling through life like a dancing bear Wild heart, thin fur But home is where Home is where The coffee maker groans and moans Heart is home My heart in my throat I’d love to love you even more But I’m in a kind of hurry Still hurry hardly ever pays So let’s just have another cup of coffee Running like a razor through the world But never meant to hurt Anybody else Home is where The coffee maker groans and moans Heart is home My heart in my throat Two cups and a spoon I’ll promise you to come back soon Heart is home Your heart on your tongue Safe and sound

control 03:24
Sometimes this world leaves me speechless Overwhelmed by disgust Sometimes I don’t mind being heartless A feeling I can trust Falling in a hole Full thrust Don’t wanna know about your mode Of lifelessness I’m gonna show you shit that will scare Both of us to death I’m digging deep I’m digging deeper I put myself in a hole For shelter Emptiness Or unease You’ve got a choice

tiger lungs 03:14
These rules smell of elite distrust But they don’t need to hold true for us We’ll just take care of each other Sisters and brothers Daughters and sons Of no one Sing every song That we know And when we realize That we don’t know the words Don’t know the words We’d just keep on And go Whoahoho! We start to breathe and to see Not who you are but what you give Not staying busy hanging tough Just singing at the top of Our lungs The daughters and the sons
7.
Light rays break through The leafage My mind reaches For the treetops and beyond Winter comes in like a bad guest And his cold breath Touches my hand And reminds me that I’m alive Dashing through the undergrowth As this cold, cold, cold Friend returns home Taking chances before The heartbeat slows And the eyes shut down It’s freaking cold But I’m not freezing I’m just breathing And running as fast as I can The cold quiets The noises of summer And the hunger That I used to feel Take a chance to breath Cold wind in my face Before I sink to sleep I’ll find rest inside myself
8.
Fan makeup smudged from tears Sweatpants stained from piss The screen casts a light glow A gaze into the abyss Swallowed by a sea of flags No land in sight Feeling the cold of the waves As I swim against the tide Feel like a seasick sailor Who has to swallow his own puke A herd tended by hate and fear But I’m not a black sheep, I’m a wolf You don’t need to raise your arm To salute the same blue print Some things were meant To end up just like they did Patriotism and party mood Oh so relaxed But the makeup can’t mask The ugly face Feel like a seasick sailor Who has to swallow his own puke A herd tended by hate and fear But I’m not a black sheep, I’m a wolf Upset this boat!

tidal wave 03:17
Big expressions often turn out empty While small words tend to grow, that’s why I choke On my own thoughts Who could’ve thought that a single stitch Could drown everything inside All at once I’m a light bulb When you turn me on I burn out We’re all daughters, we’re all sons With a burden to bear and shoes to fill All on our own Expectations and disappointments So please don’t search between these lines for me I’m already gone I’m a star When you see my light I’m no more I’m everything I never said A forgotten umbrella in the rain But if you let go I’ll let go with you There’ll be a thousand times when you’re soaking wet Chilled to the bone by heavy rains At mercy of the sea But when the storm is gone and we’re left on our own We’re still alive You’ll see I’m a light house No shelter from the rain I’m just there Don’t expect me to Wash away your pain Let me move you Without a word „Whoaheyhoho!“ The whole world at the top of its lungs
10.
I’m wasting time, I’m wasting words While all these stories go untold Organ grinders in my head Reduce it all, break it down My heart weighs a ton A clarity that hurts Caught up in a storm of wasted words Words wasted so well Can’t grasp what should be said Squeeze out another broken heart And pour me one more glass Inebriated for a short moment Don’t know if this weary head These idle hands Are in control of myself My heart abandons all abandoned hopes Takes one for the road And breaks lose I know we’re all bound to die But I’d be lying If I said I was not afraid While I’m trying to beat death With every word Don’t know if this weary head These idle hands Are in control of myself My heart abandons all abandoned hopes Takes one for the road And breaks loose From what I know From all these almost right words
11.
Grew tired of writing about myself wasting away Too many feelings twisted into worn clichés How can I ever live up to what we’re singing about? These lyrics swallow me and puke me out But when the roar of day Clears the way For the sounds of night I shake off the dust And drift away With my eyes closed tight An eternity away from home Worn out, stuck on a backseat, tired bones And there’s nothing romantic About a lack of sleep and self-hate And there’s nothing romantic About being an asshole in an asshole band There must be some reason When it’s just us Nothing, if not ourselves More than a feeling Something we can trust Nothing, if not ourselves
12.
My mouth is dry and dark My teeth are grey and hard I’m eating money and fast cars I’m eating lies and TV stars My throat is scarred and sore My lungs are black and small I’m breathing concrete and fear of death I’m breathing neon light and distress We sell our lives Even if we know the pay is bad We take the medicine Even if we hate its taste Just to stay Separated and afraid My heart is broken and cold My eyes are weary and old I’m dreaming porn and war films I’m dreaming angst and advertisements Tastefully furnished self-pity I hope one day we’ll smash this armchair of history
