Serendipity
04:18
|
|||
|
My back is loaded, got a heavy weight
Plenty of crossroads as I make my way
Dust behind me on this boundless road
To get where I'm going I gotta lose my load
Sometimes I'm fast, too fast to see
While cruising with no gravity
I'm tangled in this galaxy
I shape my life with fate and serendipity
Getting rid of the cloud, no fame on me
Instead I'm getting hooked on what noone sees
Only eager to find the next step to climb
I'm rising to make this shine shine bright
Sometimes I'm fast, too fast to see...
But lately I've been dreaming bout you
Your teasing smile and the lovely things we do
You catch my punchline and drink my wine
The perfect moonlight my soul in a bliss
And sure you will be mine
Sometimes I'm fast, too fast to see...

Volcano
03:42

I‘ve built my house on a Volcano / Laid carpets over cracking tiles
Perfumed clothes and shiny windows /Pictures showing sparkling smiles
And we stick to the hands of the clock under our roofs / Obeying clockwise every second of its move
It keeps us calm and in a groove/ But the ground is shaking and my house is breaking
Can we hold it up much longer / With growing cracks in the façade
We‘re trying to keep our lives together / Though broken pieces fall apart
Times are turning/ Still the fire‘s burning
One wrong step might lead to chaos/ So scared of the borderline
I keep my feet inside the limits/ Never daring to look behind
Have your thoughts all in order / Cool the water down so cold
You will need it oh so badly when the rising lava flows
Just keep calm, noone knows / That the ground is shaking and my house is breaking
Can we hold it up much longer…
Here it comes, here it goes / From the base is rising smoke / A volcano deep below
Here it comes, here it goes / Hell is rising, now it shows / Let the stream of lava flow
Let the stream of lava flow…
Can we hold it up much longer…
There’s still a fire

Running Down the Hill
03:34
|

|
Put on your new sneakers, free delivery
Drawers filled with t-shirts cotton killing fields
Loading up your funpics, filling up the servers, millions day by day
Tired of your smartphone, it’s the second year,
Pushing up your ego buying fancy gear,
Uniform your senses, unique your design,
We’re running down the hill
I try to turn around and step aside,
See a million faces with no eyes,
Their heads are looking down, thumbs are jumping round
we’re running down the hill
We’ running down the hill, running down the hill,
We’ running down the hill
Get into your car you’re hungry for a ride
Bluetooth, Entertainment, Carbon Dioxide
Get the latest app, check in to your flight,
Try to get away from your lonelyness inside
I try to turn around and step aside,
See a million faces with no eyes,
Their heads are looking down, thumbs are jumping round
we’re running down the hill
We’re running down the hill…
We’re in this pack and hold the cards
Croupiers cheating we won’t get far
We know their names but play their games
We’re running down the hill
We’ running down the hill, running down the hill,
We’ running down the hill
I try to turn around and step aside…
We’ running down the hill, running down the hill…

I Got the Morning Sun
04:53
|
|||
|
Ooooh those times when life seemed a dream
I was drunk from melatonin
day and night sleepin'.
Those days are gone
I got the morning sun
A power rush through my brain. synapses on fatal gain
a big bang inside myself. and no shades don‘t give help
plan b is melting away. in this yellow sun ray
hydration on free fall‘s. the smallest problem of all
Energy disease. keeps my blood boiling high
no time for sleep. with my eyes open wide
blue nights of tranqulity. so soft, endlessly long
those days are gone. I got the morning sun
She is the goddess in space. keeps mother nature in shape
she is nutrition and growth. keeps us warm head to toes
But I‘m reaching a peak. zombie state of no sleep
midsummer inside my cells. a cosmic fire of hell
But I‘m like a jewel at night. guarded by the silver light of the moon
for a second strong as strong. as the morning sun
Countdown on speed-lane. just some seconds till day
the moon my secret affair. almost gone when it‘s there
But I'm reaching a peak. zombie state of no sleep
a big bang inside my cells. and no shades don't give help
Energy disease...

A Long Way
03:56
|
|||
|
I close the door and walk the street
Everybody’s dancing to a different beat
You’ve got yours, I‘ll find mine
It’s a long way
Tension‘s high, thoughts are deep
Tired in the morning cause I couldn’t sleep
Lying besides you all night
It’s a long way
My baby says you don’t need noone else
Your deepest grounds keep you from being sound
But we love to love and we know to cry
Hold someone in the middle of the night
It’s a long way
I’ve had so much but I can’t get enough
Everybody now is making copy paste love
Poor girl, shy guy
It’s a long way
Take your time while you look inside
Who laughs, who cries
I don’t know if I’m insane
It’s a long way
My baby says…
Hold on a minute stop that crying
Cause you know better, just look inside
Take it easy it’ll be alright
It’s a long way down into the light
My baby says…
I‘m crying ooooh
But we love to love and we know to cry
Hold someone in the middle of the night

Like a Tumour
04:58
|
|||
|
So many years wasted on the wrong road chasin'
After the wrong goals, the shallowness of you
And all these years hopin' you'd finally open
The door and let my dreams, dreams come true
But you let me beg for some true respect
And I hit a wall, still my bruised soul begged
As you stood watching, watching me fall
Getting rid of you is like cutting out a tumour
Getting over you makes life so much smoother
You've been on my mind, mind, mind for far too long
Now it's time, time to move on
Oooooh you're like a tumour
Oooooh you're like a tumour
On the verge of breaking I was giving, you were taking
Still I was good enough for you're late, late night calls
And I screamed in silence for healing guidance
To help me free myself out of your claws
No need to say goodbye to your endless smile
Cause in your spiderweb they're waiting to be served
as you're dessert, your dessert
Getting rid of you...
With each one you grow,
They feed your ego
You're a cancer to the soul
But I've cut you out, I cut you out
Now I know
Ooooh you're like a tumor
Ooooh you're like a tumor
You've been on my mind, mind, mind for far too long
Now it's time, time to move on
Ooooh you're like a tumor

Never Be Lonely
04:11
|
|||
|
I feel only
one wish on my mind
When we get together.
We fill the space that we
love to get to warm our souls
We went so far, never let go
You’ve got to make your way
To fill the space that you
love to get to feed the soul
You never be lonely, you never be so lonely
You never be lonely, be lonely
I’m going down, I’m going down
I feel the space beneath my feet I’m gonna drown
Now I know what. you went through for me
And I will, remember, each day we’ve been together
so very close that from now on
We’ll never be lonely, we’ll never be so lonely
We'll never be lonely, be lonely
I’m going down, I’m going down
I feel the wake beneath my feet I’m gonna drown
I have only one wish on my mind

In the Clear Blue Water
04:32
|
|||
|
As the sun is rising on a winters day
I‘m a wandering spirit through the snowwhite lane
Leading me down to the exurb lake
Under the melting ice I see
The water so clear and it’s blue and deep
I can see a body drifting on the other lakeside
It‘s a beautiful day and the sun is so bright
Getting closer I can see him there
His face so pale and his floating hair
Slowly in the clear blue water
So close now I can almost touch him
Too weak now my efforts fail to reach him
I jump to drag him out and safe him
But my arms disappear each time I get near
And his hair floating softly,
in the clear blue water
His lips look like still waiting for a kiss
His trust, love and courage are written in his face
But none of that will last after hours in the lake
I‘m the only one left to see
His face so clear in the blue and deep
Salt water in my eyes as I‘m standing there
As for anybody else he will be a nightmare
He could‘ve been the king on a golden chair
I stare into the cold clear blue
And find out who is who
In the clear blue water, in the clear blue water
I stare into the cold clear blue
And find out who is who
Chorus…
In the clear blue
In the clear blue water

Anchor
03:56
|
|||
|
You like it light, you like to fly
And you do it right
You can sway, you float away
And you do it right and you do it right
Your heart is a wave
A huge whirl so brave
You‘re pure life
Purest life
And I tend to walk right in your shadow
It‘s alright with me
I seem a little slow for a solo
But that‘s alright with me
Cause my feet like to stick on the ground safe and softly
Warm soil on my toes
I can be your Anchor when the weather turns roughly
Your whirl won‘t push offshore
Astrayed no more
I‘m blinded by your light
That’s why I stay behind
I‘m a careful kind
A little too small
On tiptoes to reach the tall
I‘m a grounded mind a grounded mind
And I like to feel the earth a turning
Just right underneath
You‘re up high craving and yearning
That’s alright with me
Cause my feet like to stick on the ground safe and softly
Warm soil on my toes
I can be your Anchor when the weather turns roughly
Your whirl won‘t push offshore
Astrayed no more
Give me your hand
You pull me up from quicksand
And I‘ll keep you from casting away
This bond is forever
I hope it’s forever
Like moon and sun form night and day
And I tend to walk right in your shadow...

Horizon
04:15
|
|||
|
I gotta find a place in the sun
To keep myself from coming undone
Nothing to be owned by noone
When I‘m free
I gotta get away from the noise
Yet never be again on the run
I can be whatever’s my choice
I choose me
Let me see the horizon
The big picture crystal clear
Lift me up like the sun rising
Make the darkness disappear
The world goes up in flames
Still I will remain
When I see the horizon
I‘d like to see myself in the light
These yellow waves can vanquish the fright
The brightest soul and me side by side
In my dreams
I‘ll hold your hand in mine till the end
In glade or shade you’ll still be my friend
We’re grey and wise and deeply content
You’ve foreseen
And it ought to be
Let me see the horizon…
Oh…
Let me see the horizon…
I gotta find a place in the sun
Momentum when creations grow strong
A lifted mind and heart to start
Forever

What You Think I Am
04:05
|
|||
|
Temperature’s rising, backdoors are shut
Thought I was done but it's getting real hot
But I don't get excited, no, I don't get excited,
No, I don't get excited to know what you think I am
Can't keep it stable or go with the plot
The concrete is shaking out on the spot
But I don't get excited, no, I don't get excited,
No, I don't get excited to know what you think I am
I'm still a beginner
Call me naive when I'm leaving the common path
I'm out in the jungle
Where the waterbear goes to wake up from the dead
Used to work harder, used to depend
Knight on a horse getting stuck in dead end
But I don't get excited, no, I don't get excited,
No, I don't get excited to know what you think I am
Priority change, I got two feet in the mud
My dues I have paid and now the only way is up
I'm still a beginner, call me naive
I'm out in the jungle to get what I need
But I don't get excited, no, I don't get excited,
No, I don't get excited to know what you think I am
Solo
Used to work harder, used to depend
Knight on a horse getting stuck in dead end
But I don't get excited, no, I don't get excited,
No, I don't get excited to know what you think I am
Priority change, I got two feet in the mud
My dues I have paid and now the only way is up
I'm still a beginner, call me naive
I'm out in the jungle to get what I need
But I don't get excited, no, I don't get excited,
No, I don't get excited to know what you think I am

Encore
03:21

I need an Encore, I need an Encore....
No you can‘t be just history, no you can‘t leave
I need an Encore
I tried what I could to stay away no doubt
Keep you off the hook and sort myself out
But whereever I go you go, I know, that we belong together
Such a bad case of disgrace taking place by holding on forever
Oooh I need an Encore, I need an Encore
Don‘t push me out the door no more, I can‘t let go
I need an Encore
Erase me from your mind, I can love for two
Your pulse my only time your beat my only groove
We‘ve been talking too much and we‘re loosing touch
But I ain‘t done here
You’re the sweet, I‘m the bee and I see
That you could be my honey
I need an Encore, I need an Encore
No you can’t be just history, no you can’t leave
I need an Encore
And it’s turning me insane the same and same again
There’s still blood in the cut from our breakup
But I can‘t stop
I need an Encore, I need an Encore
No food, no drink, no light, no sleep
I need an Encore
Your glow, your skin, your grip, heartbeat
I need Encore
...
I need I need
