Seeds

a light flooded road
hail to the seeds
watch them grow
decisions, all decisions are made
let’s drive along and state
eyes wide open, uncaged on rural ways
on and on it goes
cracked up like a stone
the road is a throne for plants
building little homes for seeds to grow again
and let life grow
all eyes, faithful eyes
seek white feathers in the snow
knowing not that they intend to hide
pigeons, all the pigeons are gone
gone to exclaim the change
words are spoken among the shades of day
and carved into black stones
on and on it goes
cracked up like a stone
the road is a throne for plants
building little homes for seeds to grow again
and again
stones thrown away
to keep words for decades
stones thrown away
to keep it all for decades
glance up at the moon
when the rivers are dry
it’s shining bright and true
but cannot heat up the lifes
and the heart goes on and on
cracked up like a stone
the road is a throne for plants
building little homes for seeds to grow again
and let life grow

Light it Up
03:21
|
|||
|
hello old habit, would you please come in
it‘s charming to see you again
red wine and incense are almost the last things
holding back boyhood‘s end
memories blaze on my mind
while sunset leads a goodbye
day is limp, and we are in whole pride
holding back bygone times
light it up, light it up, light it up and for sure
it’s not the same, not the same as it was before
light it up, light it up, light it up and for sure
tonight it‘s gonna be more
this is the place, this is the space
where good times are running
this is in spades one of those days
I can´t stop this melody humming
you got me now, but anyhow
sweep all sanity out
foolishness without doubt
this is what we want
just one more day, one more night
just one more day, one more time
light it up, light it up, light it up and for sure
it’s not the same, not the same as it was before
light it up, light it up, light it up and for sure
tonight it‘s gonna be more

Flowers on the Rooftop
03:46
|

|
flowers on the rooftop
reflection in the trees
you know what I mean
rambling over heavens
respected and unleashed
but now look at me
I jumped one step further
dropped two steps back
now I’m on my knees
begging for solutions
waiting to breathe in
to kill all memories
can you please turn off the rain, pain
down over me
rain, pain, I can’t breathe in
rain, pain, down over me
wisteria grows and it grows and it grows
and I’m wondering why my head explodes
but I breathe in the future
breathe out the past
for good times
fight to the last
until flowers are allover
can you please turn off the rain, pain
down over me
rain, pain, I can’t breathe in
rain, pain, down over me

Lost in the Light
03:29
|
|||
|
my ship is tumbling down
I can’t control
through the universe
straight into a black hole
drop out, pressure‘s sinking
I’m knocked out, stopped thinking
planes are strained
endangered to burst of
so I close my eyes when
I’m falling lost in the light
is warning to not divide
it’s a long way
I’m falling lost in the light
is warning to not divide
it’s a long way, a long way on bad tide
spinning round, just waiting to bound
but I’m blading outer space and I race against all forces
making crosses and crosses
beware the air is becoming thin
beware, prepare, cannot breathe in
my lungs in lack of oxygen
and I’m falling, I’m falling
I’m falling lost in the light
is warning to not divide
it’s a long way
I’m falling lost in the light
is warning to not divide
it’s a long way, a long way on bad tide
I open my eyes and I realize
that turbulence is over
with broken device, engine on fire
I’m getting sober
I open my eyes and I realize
that turbulence is over
I am alive, I am alive, but so far away
I’m falling lost in the light
is warning to not divide
it’s a long way
I’m falling lost in the light
is warning to not divide
it’s a long way, a long way on bad tide

Liquid Lullaby
04:29
|
|||
|
black coffee at night
in a house full of progress
finally I arrived
but at last I feel homeless
oh we are just two footsteps away
and I pray for a cause
to get back
where we were
and start to grow old
and I close my eyes
in liquid lullabies
lights out, I’m retired
distress is still the closest
perception I’ve hired
in my amount of emotions
drain just one glass
later on the full jar
to kill this direful devotion
to fill up my scars
like leaks in the ocean
and I close my eyes
in liquid lullabies
streets are lit, but I collide
lights are blurred in my inner strip
and I quit to reach a fireside
home – lights are fading
night is trading
home
and I close my eyes
in liquid lullabies

Reed and Snow
01:00
|
|||
|
so I went wrong
over the lake
through reed and snow
but way too late
in the end I don’t care
why we are here
and I’m not there
I just don’t care
|

What do you care for
03:21
|
|||
|
chasing waves, praise lazy days
and the taste of sea air
craving straight for the next high score
splashing spume on my face
cannot lose on these days
I’m blessed by the sea
and I’ve lost all my doubts, I’m so damn free
just while I stand here and gaze
I hear the voice of the sea and it says
what do you care for all the low things
better be high
what do you care for all the all the slow things
just be nice
what do you care for nothing
it’s all right
what do you care for those blockheads
just be kind
I dig my toes into the sand
and I wish this day will never ever end
I have lost my navigation
but I’m in oceans compurgation – so I don’t need one
day to pay, prayer to stay because I’m not fey
sea said and I say I’m alive
all my life I will praise the ocean’s mind
and I’ll be wise, sitting pleased in the sand
until my days will end
if you’re once tempted by fate
believe me when I say
what do you care for all the low things
better be high
what do you care for all the all the slow things
just be kind
what do you care for nothing
it’s all right
what do you care for those blockheads
you should better be kind

Higher
03:43
|

|
this is where I belong
no longer I'm an estray
I'm sure there's nothing wrong
at least she's a part of me
first I was struck by lightning, I was frightened
but then she captured me – now I must see
I'm lucky like a firefly in the summertime
I know she stays with me
there is no need to get higher
I know I can't control
my whole heart is on fire
and I know that she won't go
head up high, out of time, all day in delight
muse is bright, I'm in line to attain good times
she's more than mind-blowing
along the way we go, I will be beholden
willing to let her know
I'm lucky like a firefly in the summertime
all day and all of the night
I climb as high as mountains rise
and leave it all behind
there is no need to get higher
I know I can't control
my whole heart is on fire
and I know that she won't go
I've got my head up high, out of time
a million fireflies, they light my mind
say "it's time to let it go"
no, I won't quit, no, I won't slip,
I wanna keep on going
it's time to let it go
there is no need to get higher
I know I can't control
my whole heart is on fire
and I know that she won't go

Heat
03:29
|
|||
|
water’s appeased
drained and pleased
basked in the sunshine
springing in heat
colours reloaded
lungs full of green
it’s the very best
time to raise the revs
get the blues off my chest
rid of fears and mess
I’m not more or less
it’s just marvelous
that
all these things on the outside
let me be knowing
on the inside I am untied
and I am glowing
heat it all up
for the first time
light up my mind
blossom out
when the night goes
when I shout
there’s an echo
taking doubts
digging a hole
to sow down to the grass
overgrow all the mess
what I found
is the power of being crowned
by nature, it’s sensationally
don’t stop, heat it all up
for the first time
all these things on the outside
let me be knowing
on the inside I am untied
and I am glowing
heat it all up
for the first time
light up my mind
flare lights are flickering when I’m home
such a peaceful place
backpedaled in soul
time is no size to be controlled
just one dimension to mention
home
water’s appeased
drained and pleased
basked in the sunshine
springing in heat
colours reloaded
lungs full of green
blossom out
when the night goes
when I shout
there’s an echo
taking doubts
and never
don’t stop
all these things on the outside
let me be knowing
on the inside I am untied
and I am glowing
heat it all up
for the first time
light up my mind

Catch the Sunset
03:36
|
|||
|
the vision is clear, yes, I’ll catch the sunset
I plead and declare:
I’m willing to fix this day
with a thumb tack on my chest
because happiness is so rare
I’m not kidding you
that’s what I’ll do
fortune is mine and even time
cannot deny
what I choose
I won’t lose
hey, this is how it’s gonna stay
like an embrace of emotion
for the rest of all day
hey, this is how it’s gonna stay
feels like drifting in the ocean
floating with the waves
breathe in the air
with a sweet taste of certainty
because I know you’ll be there
just when I will be
and we never care about regularities
I kiss your cheek, get up on my feet
run up on to the sun
here we go, here we go
I live my phantasy
dimensions get cut
we grave life in ivory
this time will not end
there’s no need to pretend
it’s alright
what I choose
I won’t lose
hey, this is how it’s gonna stay
like an embrace of emotion
for the rest of all day
hey, this is how it’s gonna stay
feels like drifting in the ocean
floating with the waves
get up and catch the sunset
hey, this is how it’s gonna stay
like an embrace of emotion
for the rest of all day
hey, this is how it’s gonna stay
feels like drifting in the ocean
floating with the waves

Kingdom of Cold
06:14
|
|||
|
sun comes over the top
trying to eat all haze
drinking cold tear drops
melting out of frozen rain
light wants to behold
but it’s wasted away
colours explode
and then set into grey
the kingdom of cold
is coming so straight
butterflies die
in ice flowers’ taste
ride into the dark and dust
and leave the world behind
dunked in blood-red rust
it’s time to grace mother nature’s grave
before the white vice violates
sun goes down
time to spread the wings
upon a cloud, over buildings
chimneys’ groan
begging for grace
the kingdom of cold
is coming so straight
butterflies die
in ice flowers’ taste
away
well I denied all those feelings
my appearance
and that bloody hole inside
my soul, and now it’s like
I still believe in, I’m no more bleeding
and at least sometimes
I see my home but now it’s like
lights are fading, night is trading
with my delight, I’m alone
with all those demon
and I fly, lord I fly
trying to get rid of the grid
yes, I fly, lord I fly
and I’m saved
I reached the sky
the kingdom of cold
is coming so straight
butterflies die
in ice flowers’ taste
kingdom of cold
taking control
among the war
it’s getting more and more
we take it all
and leave it sore
when the warriors are here
they’re killing all and all
the kingdom of cold
was coming so straight
with a pride of ice
but didn’t capture my veins
