I don't want to think Today i dont want to think I'll watch some TV instead Or cyber-loaf while swiping Left and right in that virtual waltz What can I say I'm not choosy today Today i dont want to think I just dont want to think Of you I am really on the brink Walking all the way from home to Where the hell did i want to go again? Breathing in and out Clearing my throat once too often Blinking with my eyes Then i stare like a fish Let the fresh air have its cooling way I concentrate on the tree overthere A blue jay Today i dont want to think i just dont want to think Of you Today I dont want to think About your hair I found on my shirt This morning is like a vampire Mornings are marking my days Followed by my attempts in distraction And if nothing else helps I can always make an appointment with the dentist And refrain from icing Pain would give me some other ideas While i m waiting for the first day I don't think I don't think Of you

Ghost of a lost ghost Hiding in the corner Of a late October sun Let's me read La Lorca Feeling high and warm A ghost of a lost ghost That's what I became A ghost of a lost ghost I slowly go insane Soaking up his lines Reading shadows around me Another thing to do A nonsense it would be A purple dog is barking Three houses down the street For no other reason than To entertain himself Nothing else is left Between us and the sky Than the constant sound Of traffic going by

Chasing Mediocraty I'm tired of disappointing myself And not only me but anybody else I'm chasing, chasing mediocraty Perfection is a thing of the past Now I can relax at last Coming in first I don't care anymore If I'm fifteenth call me Thor With the goal the pressure is gone Now I'm only in for fun Quality, deadlines, stress From now on I have less I'm winging it and Meh is okay That sounds good what do you say?

A Goodbye is always implied With every look With every touch With every breath And every word With every sigh With every kiss With every smile A Goodbye is always implied In every street In every park In every club In all the bars In every bed In any arm In every lie A Goodbye is always implied At every corner At every show At every concert Wherever you go At every beach At every pool At any time A Goodbye is always implied On any day On any drug On any boat On any bus On any train On any high A Goodbye is always implied
