GIVING UP
I stand here
almost destined to fail
I'm sure my scars and wounds remain
PRE- CHORUS
I'm giving up on being seen
giving up on being meek
I'm giving up
but it feels like I'm losing
nothing at all
CHORUS
every time I come to you I'm sedated
my thoughts are bleak,
you're still hesitating
I've been waiting
for too long
I've been crushed for all I know
doors have been locked, that's for sure
PRE-CHORUS
I'm giving up on being sweet
giving up on being weak
I'm giving up
but it feels like I'm losing
nothing at all
CHORUS
where did it go wrong?
you came undone
giving up
giving up on being seen
giving up on being meek
I'm giving up
giving up on being sweet
giving up on being weak
I'm giving up
CHORUS

Body & Mind

BODY & MIND
I make amends, who cares?
now you're here
I swear I’ve met you before
I’ve met someone like you before
I refuse to go cuckoo
It might hurt me
but there's no use in breaking down
leaving it up to you
CHORUS
don't be fooled by time
we're all on the same bitter-sweet ride
no one gets out alive
I’ve lost my hopes and dreams before
I pick myself up and dream some more
I want to feel how precious life can be
now you bought the wine
and I've got time
our senses still work
let's utilize them
I want to show you how good it can be
CHORUS
I still got body and mind
I make love, I make friends, I make plans, I resent my sorrows
I wake up in the night, feel the beat, it's fine, there's tomorrow
I do panic at times
I'm so unsure if I lie to myself or to you
CHORUS
let's not seek comfort in sanity
let's not long for useless clarity
It's time, I still got body and mind

Jellyfish, Clams, Whales

JELLYFISH, CLAMS, WHALES
I swapped the road for the shore
the open sea is what I long for
but I just sit, dream away
as with everything
the first push is so demanding
I would rather dream away
for now I'm lost in reverie
I'm not seasick or sensitive to cold
but I get old and forget
about my desires
for swimming and boating and floating
on big waves
CHORUS
this must be the weirdest time to row
this must be the hardest time to go
this could be the time I feel least alone
I don't care about the sand
its heat I still stand
I pick up every stone
I've been here too long
I wonder where the waves could take me
If I'd just take my boat off the shore
I wonder why I'm more scared to sink
than to become stone
CHORUS
at least I'm not at home
I might be safe here
but the sea is still far away
I stayed at the beach to realize
jellyfish, clams, whales come here to die
they just come here to die

Out of Luck

OUT OF LUCK
I've been painted by a troubadour
with the brightest colors he can show us
what's there to show
how I would never leave muddy grounds
I cannot tell what I should do
with you next to me
CHORUS
come let me see you smile
close your lovely eyes for me
and go, don't worry, just go „Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh“
Stories told but tales unwritten
we somehow cling to old forgotten catastrophes
watch fire and wither
but I hope we can ignore
tomorrow's foul
and bitter taste
so please just tonight
CHORUS
you build a house, I build a wall
because my true love is gone
I want to wallow in pleasure
with you
CHORUS II
come let me see you and those lovely eyes
they shine for me
but you shouldn't worry
if you leave me I won't be blue
because last night the stars shone bright
I wonder if it's bad for me
I'm out of luck

QUICKSAND
I wait until 11 to tell you the truth
you pay the least bit of attention - you're a fool
I don't know who to trust
I don't know how to move
they say patience is bliss
you just wait and see
PRE-CHORUS
you're Quicksand
you took hold of me
I didn't run, now I’m stuck
You're quicksand
I try to break free
but now I sink
I doubt my mind
again it started like a fairytale
a good story, a good laugh - so it begins, then it ends
I'm too greedy, too shallow
I close my eyes when we don't kiss
the darkest woods aren't as dark as this
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
you never took a chairoplane ride with me
asking is never easy, your constant answer is „No No No“
so I learned how fast I can go on my own
still just standing, saying sorry for everything
but I'm glad, because I can go on a swing
PRE-CHORUS II
you're quicksand
you took hold of me
I didn't run, I got stuck
you're quicksand
I finally broke free
now I swing
CHORUS
come take a ride with me

POUR ME
it's whispering again to me
boring afternoon, I drink tea
this day shouldn't turn into
another blue night
elephants watch me like TV
or is it just me
oh please, have you never wondered why
I can't walk away with ease
CHORUS
baby can't you see
I like how dizzy I feel
please pour me some more
how sweet, that you want to stay with me
but I just want beer
is it me who is dancing
or is it you who is spinning around
I can't stand all these noises that you make
if I can't fly, I can try to get spacy
CHORUS
I couldn't care less, still I stare at
pictures of you drifting away
corner to corner, I couldn't bother
to scream out your name
searching for you
pour me
don't you know, I can't walk away with ease
CHORUS
how about another beer?
please pour me...
I would like another beer
poor me!

BLUE COLORED
boy, oh boy
for a while it was nice
I gained a little insight
sweetness and light
you called me wondrous
you left me wondering
if I am confusing
have you gotten even worse since yesterday?
have you become colorblind?
it was time
to leave all misunderstandings far behind
anyone that spoke to me
anyone that met me here already knows that
CHORUS
her blue colored mind, I love
her blue colored smile, I want
her blue colored eyes, they glow
have you gotten any better since yesterday?
have you painted all that's white?
it is time
to leave all misunderstandings far behind
anyone that spoke to me
anyone that met me here already knows that
CHORUS
sodium street lights
cannot see her colors, I miss them
all the street lights
she's bright but I want to see her
blue colored eyes
I want to do better than yesterday
blue colored eyes
I know I would do better than yesterday
CHORUS

DAMAGED GOODS
how you walked all over me
I know you matter to me, but you, you let me down
I held you high up to the clouds
I don't ask why, you don't ask how
it went down
CHORUS
well, since you wrecked me
all I am is rotten fruit
they say I'm damaged goods
and I will always wonder why
all my sentimental thoughts, I keep
they do matter to me, but you, you let me down
tonight I'll dance with anyone
but not with you, 'cause we are through
we are through
CHORUS
tonight I could kiss you
if only I would miss you
I know why I let you go
I won't forget the treason
I won't forget the reasons
why I should let you go
CHORUS
now I will always be alone

DARK NIGHTS
how I raised hope for the unknown in my apartment
I left you a note
I don't care for your old and worn out shoes
you never share them
why did you paint my walls?
CHORUS
haven't you noticed I want you gone
I'm sleep deprived but I know
dark nights will come
it gets darker every night
I dyed my hair, I shook it off, I see no need to hurry
I am lazy, I am bored, it's crazy but I want to quit
This is not the street where I want to be buried,
this is not a good place to die
CHORUS
you keep telling me all about it,
I wasted hours, it was useless,
I guess you are no good
be still
CHORUS II
you need to know I want you gone
with you here I'm not my own
I want you gone
but I know dark nights will come
it gets darker every night

IVY
so I came to stay, lie quietly
I wait, it grows over me
CHORUS I
now I sink deeper into the shrubs
but it feels like it's too much
so you went away
you said it's much
it's too much
I'm far too much
it's like a flood washing over me
I let it drown me
all I saw was blue and green
the colors of the sea
CHORUS II
I never want to leave
the place where the ivy
grew all over me
you said it's much
it's too much
I'm far too much
when we met you said
you don't want me to fade like that
but it shows
and we know
I'm just too much
am I a hurricane?
CHORUS I + II
now I know
ivy cannot grow
on hurricanes
