Spin

Tell me
You won’t give in on that day
When will you try again?
My oh my
Don’t let it shake it you up
Everytime
If I could calm the fire
That rages inside
I would surely try
If I could stop myself
I wouldn’t run away
From everything that you hide
Deep sigh
A part of you needs life
But you can’t breathe in
You’ve gone too far and so
The wheel keeps on spinning
Once again we are lost
In the park of possibilities
When did we grow to old
To leave our kisses on the ferriswheel
If I could calm the fire
That rages inside
I would surely try
If I could stop i wouldn’t run away from you
You and I are howling at the moon
You and I are swimming in the sea
I always thought the truth is coming soon
Tell me who do you want to be?
Deep sigh
A part of you needs life
But you can’t breathe in
You’ve gone too far and so
The wheel keeps on spinning

Ardent Spring
03:13
|
|||
Unknown under the same moon
As we went through the park at night
Day and Night have switched their sides
From locked to open ends
We were young that night
We went through the garden
Through the hole in the fence
And kisses like ardent spring
Your tongue is thicker than mine
I know that now
You knew so many words
Each sound each line
Of my favorite books and my favorite songs
Tell me, how do you know them?
Tell me, how do you know me so well ?
Unknown under the same moon
As we went through the park at night
Day and Night have switched their sides
From locked to open ends
I’ve worn your words since then
I’ve put them on my body
They’re tight, they keep me warm
I’ll read them again and again
They make me warmer than I’ve ever been
I don’t want them to come of
I don’t want them to come of
Everyday I go back to that hole
I go into it and out of it and into it and out of it
Into it and out of it
Can’t find my way out of it again
I’ve lost my selfcontrol in it
I was good on my own
With you I’m better
Say I’m better
Unknown under the same moon
As we went through the park at night
Day and Night have switched their sides
From locked to open ends

Bad Lovers
03:07
|
|||
Now we’re walking on the moon
You and I
You told me, it’s the last goodbye
Then you turned around and held my hand
Then we were one again
Looking through black glass
All layers of the flood
Too tight
How did we end here?
Deviously appear
At night
Nobody warned us
Need Someone to trust
Endlessly
Are we all bad lovers?
Feels like gravity
Don’t leave

White
03:39
|
|||
White floors vanish into another world
Let my feet walk across the silky destert
White fingers guide me through the somber light
There is something hidden on the moon
I can feel it in it’s light
What if I
Figured out, to let go
Of the fight?
Lead me through this wasteland
Where the sand turns blue at night
Ever since you left me I was waiting for the sunset to begin
Ever since it all became a blur of your touches on my skin
White walls vanish into another dream
Sometimes I wonder if it was wrong to carry out that scheme
White fingers guide me, but will I make it through the night?
I have lost the mening on the moon, it is leaking through it...
What if I
Figured out, to let to
Of the fight?
Lead me through this wasteland
Where the sand turns black at night
Ever since you left me I was waiting for the sunset to begin
Ever since it all became a blur of your touches on my skin

Baby
03:45
|
|||
Do I have strong enough teeth for an apple ?
Is there enough space in my mouth ?
Will I be baptised in a chapple ?
What if the water on my little head is too cold?
Will there be birds singing for my baby ?
And for me when I can’t hit the notes cause I am to old ?
Will I ever be rebel, save the future and the last bits of my crowd ?
Something is growing inside me
I can’t tell you what it is, because I dont know
Something is growing inside of me
I can’t tell you what it is, because I don’t know
Do I have strong enough teeth for an apple ?
Is there enough space in my mouth ?
Will I be baptised in a chaple ?
What if the water on my little head is too cold?
Ich wünsche mir ein Baby, aber ich weiss nicht wie ich das machen soll
Denn ich habe so viele Träume, ich habe so viele Wünsche
Und was ist mit der Kunst?
Was ist mit der Kunst?
Was sollen wir nur tun, was sollen wir nur tun?
In mir wächst irgendwas, was soll ich denn nur tun, was soll ich denn nur tun?
Something is growing inside me
I can’t tell you what it is, because I dont know
Something is growing inside of me
I can’t tell you what it is, because I don’t know

Wilderness
03:12
|
|||
Another drop
on the slippery path
another drop in the filled glass
it floods the ocean
you begin to breathe
the flower in your hand became a seed
In the wilderness
Prince of bones
Queen of caress
They fight the throne
cause they are
Wild at heart
Don’t be so cynical
Yes, it’s unpredictable
Let go or it will cut right
Through your heart
Look at you
Now you’re stronger than everyone I know
The dam is broke and now you’re on you own
Free to burst into a thousand silhouettes
There’s no looking back on your regrets
In the wilderness
Prince of bones
Queen of caress
They fight the throne
cause they are
Wild at heart
Don’t be so cynical
Yes, it’s unpredictable
Let go or it will cut right
Through your heart

Oh
01:45
|
|||
You dove into the river
Oh, you nearly drowned
I tried to warn you
Stop your shivers
Oh, you felt so cold
I call your name into the night
To hear if you're still there
I believe you when you say you will not disappear
You slipped away
to find a better life
if we're all the same
the noone's left to find
The diamonds in the floodplain
wear their corners off
hold them, try to keep them, so they won't get lost
hold them, try to keep them, and you won't get lost

Waves
03:29
|
|||
Es ist lange her
ich hätte nicht gedacht,
dass ich dich noch einmal wieder sehen würde
du hast dich überhaupt nicht verändert
Slip away into
shut my eyes from trouble
never will it stop
Drawing every line
unevenly around me
ever growing waves
will become a home, too
I can't keep my head
above the swirling water
heavier than air
Slip away into
shut my eyes from trouble
never will it stop
Body slips into
the end and the beginning
that's when we emerge in time
i am not the same when I leave this ocean
i will have the tide inside

Hydrogen
03:20
|
|||
The stomach is the darkest bridge of muscles
Where does the light get in?
The part inside of my own chest is the hardest
Where the heart’s supposed to live
Hydrogen in all the stars collide
Where does the light get in?
A part of me I’d never dare to visit
In my own mind again
My fingertips are trying to reach further
Feeling for what they lack
And now I’m counting stars until the early morning
So the darkness can’t come back
Hydrogen in all the stars collide
Where does the light get in?
A part of me I’d never dare to visit
In my own mind again

Daughter
03:22
|
|||
Winter rain of frozen water
Waiting to become your daughter
Where I woke
When I was awake
I moved on, but came back later
Knowing I could never save you
You were young, but you were never careless
I once knew a woman like you
Harbouring a life, an heirloom
Flew to high
Now it will never come back
I was told it lives in us now
In my brother, in me somehow
When we woke
Where we are awake
Something’s growing
I can’t tell you
How can i tell you?
If i don’t know what it is
Emptiness finds you
I can’t fill it
How can i fill it ?
If I have nothing to give
Someone’s waiting
I can’t show you
How can I show you?
I
f I don’t know who it is
Something’s growing
I can’t tell you
How can i tell you?
If I don’t know what it is

Again
03:26
|
|||
Are we here again?
Are we all waiting in line for our lives to happen?
Tell me, am i wrong?
Wanting everyone around to lose their minds and give in
Like seeds
We forgot to water
Drying out in boredom
The sea
We’re swimming in is drowning
Lost within the ocean
Here we are again
Everyone waiting in line for the worst to happen
We were once so strong
Thinking everyone around could lose their minds and give in
Like seeds
They forgot to water
Drying out in boredom
The sea
We’re swimming in is drowning
Lost within the ocean

The End
02:50
|
|||
Until you one day
without any light needed
suddenly will get up and leave
like you have found the purpose
Like a bird that awakes
blindfolded
invisibly at midnight
to feed its newborn child
without any light needed
Do you see us at the end?
