Uphill
I see her and she’s waving
On the pavement, why indeed?
All I say gives her the creeps
At the bus stop and it’s raining
One last wish, two replays
Slow decay
That gives her the creeps
I recall the way to go
Her scarf shows deer in forest
The ones we do not eat
Oh I stray
Gives her the creeps
What were you up to?
I can’t stand to find you
It’s best to breath all the time
A waste of color
But they still ask for more
When will we get on?
On the bright side
Are we happy?
Parking Place
Waitin’ on somethin’ to move
Let my eyes wander over the roofs
I changed my mind
You stop at nothin’
Holdin’ on tight
I’ve been waitin’ for too long
Someplace else can not be wrong
Away…
Waitin’ on somethin’ to move
I can’t turn my head down
I changed my mind
You stop at nothin’
Holdin’ on tight
I’ve been waitin’ for too long
Someplace else can not be wrong
Away…
Far away…
I’m waitin’ on something
Screwdrivers
Can you name every place
On this green boat?
I wanna tell you
Can you hold on to this?
Perfidious dreams
Should we give out now?
I know you’re here
They can’t see you
Can you name all the grace
On this green boat?
I wanna tell you
Can you hold on to this?
Affectionate dreams
Should I get out now?
I’m in way over my head
You mean this
Can you name…
I know you’re here
But they can’t see you
Can you name…everything?
I know you’re here
But they can’t see you
So Close
So close
Yet too far away for you to see it
So close
Even though it could run in all directions
So close
Unfamiliar, as never before
We won’t conquer
This place if I don’t run
Into the same direction
No, we won’t conquer
This place if I don’t run
Into the same direction
So close
With intent to hold out for a while now
Yes, it’s true, might break the silence
But if you stay I’ll promise
This time no rewind
No more time to waste on you
20 Years Later
20 years later
It all falls apart
I have no glue where
It’s got to
Wandering the alley
Plants seem unreal
A space between our hands
Don’t wanna call it done
We need some time
Don’t wanna call it done
Did I?
We’re on the line!
20 years later
My waves are still true
Another crazy world onshore
Phrases feel different
When I look you in the eyes
I miss the smell
Of writing paper
Don’t wanna call it done
But in the long run
We just pretend to get along
We’re on the line!
Don’t wanna call it done
We need some time
Don’t wanna call it done
Did I?
Well meant but backfired
I go where the sea takes me
And no one’s sorry
Light Breeze
Shiny hills to climb onto
Are waiting anywhere
My jeans look way too cool
Stain this poor affair
I’m here to say hello
And if you turn I won’t ask you why
Shiny hills to climb onto
Have been there all the while
No need to seek a final rule
I just don’t wanna go
I never wanna go
I’m here to say hello
And if you turn I won’t ask you why
A place to hide forgotten fears
And a light breeze keeps blowing them away
Fo no longer will I be drowned in tears
Leaving tools of no use feels okay
All okay
Rounded Corners
It’s you around the corner
I can look right through
No need to pay attention
You’re bound inside my mind
I stay and have a look down this road
A look down the road
That’s you around the corner
There’s way more
It seems that I can look right through
Way more
No need to pay attention
There’s way more
You’re bound inside my mind
Way more
Silent Laughter
Wanna hold back
Like every time
Hidden basement
We cross the line
Guess you know
We just play along
Against the rules
Sweeping lane change
Trouble to refuel
Guess you know
Wanna see you
And still look through
A change of scene is
Long overdue
Guess you know
Abound in these adventures
Still out of place
Ugly birds
Tailored to aerospace
Guess you know
You know
Silent laughter
And I blame it on you
Not surprising
Our curtain may fall soon
Silent laughter
Never resting
Nor moving on
We’re floating in this
Familiar zone
Guess you know
Abound in these adventures
Still out of place
Silent laughter
And I blame it on you
Not surprising
Our curtain may fall soon
Silent laughter
Silent laughter
And I blame it on you
For now
Not surprising
Our curtain may fall soon
Silent laughter
Gimbal
You touch the ground
And think it’s done
Some years behind
Still kept on the run
There’s dust and stones
Weightless as bones
A single time you blinked
Indeed
I don’t trust anything I hear
As this all sounds the same my dear
Have you lost anything but fear?
Are you still there?
Are you with me?
As from now we consider how
To stay here all the time
We don’t know much at all
So precious and kind
Indifference combined
With senses out of our minds
Just senses out of our minds
You touch the ground
And think it’s done
We’re on the run
It’s never done
Is this your plan?
A look behind?
Just a single look this time?
We sense and failed
A momentary jail
Cool down and chill
Still hard as nails
Never fear
You’re almost done
You’ll soon return with the blazing sun
Can you survive without advise?
Are you with me?
As from now we consider how
To stay here all the time
We don’t know much at all
I wanna stay here
At all
I wanna stay here
Please stay here
As from now we consider how
To stay here all the time
Idaho
To be in line
With things imposed on me
Is something I detest and never get
Strength and gaze you own
Outrun my faith in good
To think I’m fine
When the spoon slips out of my hand
It’s something I detest and can’t let go
Strength and gaze you own
Outrun my faith in good
No, I can’t ignore
What I once found right
Deep inside
No, I can’t ignore
What I once found right
Now I know constructs can break
Impressed
You can never get through this
No, you can never get through this
But sometimes it feels so…
Will you go and feel closer to me?
I don’t know
Will you go and steal moments from me?
I don’t know
How should I know?
Blockades
And you’re the color now
Whatever comes now
Forgive
Faint
I’m sure you know it
What you have been told
And you blow it
The story has grown old
Apply some pressure
This here is able to bend
Some things happen
Somewhere you can’t be tonight
Pull the strings and wait
This plan may not derail
Some days stay anyway
Holding it down
I’m sure you know it
As you always do
It’s undisputed
They just don’t have a clue
’Bout time to wonder
How droll the script has changed
You disconnected
The waste, the gray
Is what it’s all up to
The doors, the heat
Too much inside
Consider me what you feel
I will follow you
Foreign Scenes
One step, it takes some time to realize
You’re gone but I still can hear
Unrepressed sighs
In fact, it’s not intended as it seems
You’re off and I’m caught
Deep inside this dream
You shouldn’t fear
’Cause the last train takes you home
This strange farewell and the haze
It will all be gone
You shouldn’t dare
To engage in foreign scenes
As long as long
No one cares
You’re safe from me
Correct me if it’s out of control
To breathe is not easy but this plays a role
One step, it takes more time to realise
I will continue to adore my favorite lies
You shouldn’t fear
’Cause the last train takes you home
This strange farewell and the haze
It will all be gone
You shouldn’t dare
To engage in foreign scenes
As long as long
No one cares
You’re safe from me
I couldn’t find the last days in my head
They would save all
Do Some Steps
Just do some steps and face some air
It’s nice not to be inside
And when there are no streets or lights
I guess I’m almost there
So go, just go
And do some little steps again
Just do some little steps again
My shoes are tight, that’s all I need
And the rest will be okay
And there are no rails that could hold me back
This view refreshes my disease
My self-made disease
A self-made disease
And when it’s all in line
Within my grasp
All but time
There’s still some beauty in this face
I know it could flow but I won’t care
As long as I show
That I get on with it
Plain and Ridge
Have you ever seen
A place that no one else can find or reach?
So I do today
The concrete walls
Do not impress me like they should
It all seems so far away to me
And ever since we fail to understand
It’s obvious where to go
No need for us to keep anything
One by one will be washed overboard
I see rotten plants
Poisoned by these good ideas
But they still add color to the scene
Would you agree with me?
Is it pretty when the sky falls down
Or am I just alone?
Just Went Blind
When reasons that I know
Will end in talk
And every step I go
Needs to be turned around
Then it’s Good Mornin’
When artificial light
Can’t save this walk
And tales of tonight
Need to be rearranged
Then it’s Good Mornin’
When archetypes are lone
Adamant at the same time
And I can’t avert my eyes
And not tire of it
Then it’s my Everyday
When reasons that I know
Will end in talk
And every step I go
Needs to be turned around
Then it’s my Everyday
Want to win this cup?
Just follow me
I hold lots of reserves
Of things I hide
Remain some time
Want to win this cup?
Just follow me
When I go blind
I hold lots of reserves
Of things I hide
Remain some time
’Till I can shine
Score, applause, do I look good?
So good!
I just went blind
As I don’t waste more time
Waste no more time
With sentiments that ain’t real at all
I wonder, can this beat Sunday?
Oh no
Want to win this cup?
Just follow me
I just went blind
I hold lots of reserves of things I hide
Remain some time
’Till I can shine
The Comfort Of Absence
Yes I can still remember
This one September
And the trouble we ran into
And I do not recall it
I stand by
Anything said and done
But as I know
You’re not in now I complain
I feel a mistake
That I have looked for in vain
More than ever
This here is just for you
Better late than never
It’s been a long time
Since we have split our way in two
And I smile
To avoid distance
I take the risk when
Talking ’bout you once in a while
But I am still not pleased with
The situation getting better every day
What can I say?
It’s too late
To argue over anything that has hurt
Have you seen this light before?
And now I know
We fail to speak
’Cause we are not
In the driver’s seat
No I don’t think we are
We are
Magic Bullet
Now you have gone too far
I restart to like the way you are
And it’s true
I wish you’re doing fine
And you won’t regret
A plain silence
Is all that I get
Whenever you decode my lines
Or search the conversation
I will appraise
The late compassion
When you encounter me
The look speaks volumes as I see
You feel better off alone
And you are all smiles
It hurts to conceive that time flies
All
With great eyes and with space
With notions out of place.
It makes sense, in a sense
But that’s all
With great eyes and slow pace
With good grace.
It makes sense, in a sense
But that’s all
The great course has been a long time
Coming after sparse fireworks
That makes sense but that’s all
Now I dare to ask why
That’s all I can expect
Is this all?
That’s all I can expect
Is this all?
This Time
I take a breath and inhale the truth
And rightly so
All wings are cut off and so are you
I traced it until here
Never quite knowing for sure
What to fear
I like this view
And this time I carry on
And this time
I wanna know you better at all
Allright
This time I turn the tide
It’s not in line with my ideas
Completely undesigned
All things are cut off
And that’s fine
I can’t fool myself
She wasn’t off the shelf
But it will stop
The sound of assailing roofs
If I can touch
A warm hand beside as proof
Yes I really like this view
Will this stem the tide?
This time I turn the tide!
