Shouldn't go out tonight
You don't have to go out
You don't have to get loud
I'm still on your side
You are bored when you are home
Even when you are not alone
But nothing is right
You shouldn't go out tonight
I shouldn't go out tonight
We shouldn't go out tonight, alright
Why'd you change like that
Since we first met
There's nothing I would hide
I try too much, too hard
This way we drift apart
I'm too tired to fight
If you go I go too
And we won't be back soon
It's more out of spite
We do belong together
Do you remember
How fast the time went by

Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010
It was Christmas 2010 and I remember when
You open your Christmas gift not finding your wish in it
You played with the toy that night
but you were rather quiet
you ate your turkey dinner
as always you were the winner
Then you got ready for bed
Over the shelf I saw your head
Your eyes were red and watery
I said, please, buddy talk to me
You said, you cried for happiness
Smiling like a sad old actress
With your left you wiped your tears away
Is that really the truth to say?
I picked you up and held you tight
Is that so or are you just polite?
No I really cry for happiness
It was just another choked up Christmas
I know your present wasn't that toy
The dream engine of every six-year-old boy
You told me about for seven months
My daily have-none sucker punch
I said, sorry, maybe next year
You were quiet and I full of fear
You might remember one year ago
And today it's wasn't so
With your arms around my neck
I hoped mine mean for you just half of it
So I laid you down to bed
Together our self-made prayer we said
And after our routine thumbs-up
It hit me like a bullet
I almost broke right there that day
And I schlepped myself away

Let the Sunlight lick my wounds the moon has caused
By sunset I brace myself
Remind me what will come
Remind me of the morning
And the morning sun
With a constant shiver
Short-breathed I close my eyes
Against all ghosts and demons
Following me tonight
At night I fight the demons
Losing who I was
By day I go outside
Because of what I lost
And let the sunlight lick my wounds
And let the sunlight lick my wounds
The moon has caused
I can't see the shadows
The shadows lurking there
I only feel their eyes
The beasts are everywhere
It's a cold and foul breath
Flowing over my ear
I cannot run, I cannot hide
In this darkness here
Is this a furry claw
Closing around my ankle
What the hell is calling me
With its mighty antlers
I let it all happen
And walk step by step
I know it'd be my end
If I'd sit down and rest

Third Place
It used to be a park
A cafe or a bar
A place to walk
From your work or home
When your home became
Like your boss too much
You left and rested
By yourself
A third place
Not work or home
A third place
Not a car or a phone
Then came suburbia
Unlivable without a car
Nowhere to walk to laugh and cry
Only good for a quiet sigh
The car became the third place
Anonymous your face
Driving to lunch alone
To shop, to gym and then back home
Then phones became the unleashed
Grew screens and distant dreams
Feasting on the user's soul
When- and where ever they go
The phone became the third place
A fractured mirror of a face
A window to a hideous world
A trough filled with all the fools gold

Could have been the rain

Could have been the rain
I can feel the sun
I can dance alone
I can taste the peach, the cherry and the wine again
Could have been the rain
Could have been the rain
Could have been the rain that washed away the pain
I can travel far
I can smell the air
I can touch the sand & hear the wind missing your hair
Could have been the time
That we spent apart
Could have been the silence, living with a broken heart

Wir suchten Rom

Wir suchten Rom
Wir suchten Rom obwohl alle wege dahin führn
Wir suchten Rom als wollten wir uns verliern
Zwei uhr morgens kam ich aus der bar
Halb zugedeckt lagst du da
Und ich weckte dich
Wir fuhren los, mit deinem panda auf die bahn
Ich fuhr zuerst
Und du schautest mich an
Bei frankfurt legtest du deine hand auf mein bein
Ich sagte, nicht
Ich fahr hier 110
Du lachtest los, was ich denn auf einmal so schüchtern wär
Du schnalltest doch los
Und ich zog auf die ausfahrt rüber
Ich saß neben dir, deine hände am steuer
Barfuss auf dem gas
Und die sonne ging auf
Sie strahlte dir, deine lippen glänzten feucht
Sie malte dir
Ihr warmes licht in dein gesicht
Es wurde spät und unsere augenlider schwer
Auf einem berg
Fielen wir im gras übereinander her
Und die lichter roms, sie glühten unter uns
Es war nacht
Und der wind wehte schwach
