"I was having a love attack
Each time you came around
So I decided to lay it back
And smoothly hold my ground

I got nothing but time
The world stood still, I'm fine
I know that you're still mine
I don't care about the weather

When we got nothing but time
We'll find a way to shine
You know that we'll be fine
And freeze in time together

I was having a heart attack
Each time you went away
Now I'll be staying off your track
And simply seize the day

I got nothing but time
The world stood still, I'm fine
I know that you're still mine
I don't care about the weather

When we got nothing but time
We'll find a way to shine
You know that we'll be fine
And freeze in time together

Time's a mere illusion, they say
So take your time with me
Let's meet again in a thousand years
Who knows where we will be

We'll freeze in time forever
Freeze in time forever

If you could relive one moment of your life
What would that be?
What would that be?"

"The shadow in her eyes
Tells me that she knows
I've lost my disguise
This king wears no cloths

My real queen has gotten lost
Somewhere down the line
I've kept on looking for someone else
Just to pass the time

Who knows in whose arms you rest
While I'm off chasing
The next second best
I've left the rest behind
Yet you would linger
In a corner of my mind

I espouse the lies I tell
To the lovers whom I sell
And the receipts that I keep
Every loved one felt unique

"Here I am, let's try again"
I'll say with a faded smile
'Cause that's the power of a man
Lost in the hands of time

Who knows in whose arms you rest
While I'm off chasing
The next second best
I've left the rest behind
Yet you still wander
In a corner of my mind

Who knows in whose arms you rest
While I'm off chasing
The next second best
I've left the past behind
Yet you still ramble
In the shadows of my mind

In a corner of my mind
In a place I'll never find
In a corner of my soul
In a place I'll never go
In a place we're not apart
In the vacuum of my heart"

Born out of a wonderful surprise. A voice message turned into a beautiful little cover. Unplanned & unrehearsed. A duet from a distance. 
A big thank you to Lili, her gorgeous voice and her smiles while she was singing.

"Give me a quote
Sing me a note
Don't give a dime
Be there in time

No rules, no regrets
As good as it gets
No masks, no pretense
I'll take no offense

I'm always bare
Stripped down in front of you
No room to spare
In this shared skin we sewed for two

Never alone
Always reborn
Willing to heal
That's how you always make me feel

No secrets, no shame
No one to blame
I go back to the core
And want so much more

I'm always bare
Stripped down in front of you
No room to spare
In this shared skin we sewed for two

I'll be myself
No need for covers when I'm with you
Attire won't help
You see through me, I see you through

I'm always bare
I'm naked and I don't care
Feel free to stare
In this condition free atmosphere

Always bare
Naked in front of you
Always bare
In this condition free atmosphere"

"There's no point in looking back
You don't wanna dwell on lack
Whatever seems lost today
Can always see another day

The present is just old news
Made of themes you've overused
Why don't you start again?
It's time you finally break this chain

The game is on
The child is born
The day's at dawn
The spell is blown
The time has come
The past is done
We come as one
One day at a time

I'm about to paint my masterpiece
Better stand aside

'Cause now I'm free
To see past the pain
Life starts with me
This instant is my reign
With no regrets
I'll be on my way
And get to live
To see another day

So many things you've feared
Oh, my dear, they're nowhere near
You don't have to sell your soul
All this time you have been whole

Who's gonna save you now
That's your job and you know how
Jesus ain't coming back
(no, he's not)
Get a grip and stay on track

The game is on
The child is born
The day's at dawn
The spell is blown
The time has come
The past is done
We come as one
One day at a time

You're about to paint your masterpiece
I'd better stand aside

'Cause now you're free
(of course you are free)
To see past the pain
Life starts with you
This instant is your reign
With no regrets
You'll be on your way
And get to live
To see another day

A new era has begun
We'll uncover its secrets one by one

See, life goes on
To see another day
Love carries on 
To feel another way
The war you lost
Might carry on someday
Till then we'll live
To see another day

To live another day
To see another day
To live another day"

"Down by the lake time is standing still
While these woods keep talking in tongues I understand
I might be gone sooner than I want to
And this thought scares you more than it should

See, I don’t wanna go the distance
Not this time
How about we freeze this very moment?
You won’t be needing my assistance
All the time
How about we make the best of this sunny day?

The butterflies flee, their wings have faded
They're split in half and the halves become jaded
Could you hand me that torch, I'm gonna burn all those bridges
And trade your candid commitment for a few earthly riches

'Cause I don’t wanna go the distance
Not this time
How about we freeze this very moment?
You're not getting far with your persistence
Why don't you let go?
How about we shut our minds and wholly aim to be

Each other’s better half
For the better part
Of today

I still wouldn't wanna go the distance
Not today
How about we freeze this very moment?
You're not getting far with your persistence
Why don't you let go?
How about we shut our minds and wholly aim to be

Each other’s better half
For the better part
Of today"

"You must think I should be worried
You see, I know this too shall pass
Years going by add to the story
Breaking all mirrors of the past

You probably think I'm going crazy
As I pretend the world is mine
Let's live before it gets too hazy
We're only here on borrowed time

Life is just a costume party
And I'm wearing my own face
Never busy making other plans
I've arrived, this ain't no race

So while you think deep down I'm grieving
I still pretend the world is mine
Let's have another go at living
We're only here on borrowed time

Never look back, those days are gone
Never to return
Like our youth
Never regret, forgive, don't forget
And always burn it down
To the naked truth

(Don't blink don't blink don't blink don't blink)

Don't blink because you just might miss it
As intrepid as you are
Take time to live and keep on giving
We're only here on borrowed time

(Don't blink don't blink don't blink don't blink)"

"Yesterday I
Found your box of memories
It just caught my eye
In between some books and keys
I thought of you some
And the way you'd flip your hair
Thought you were the one
And only I would pair

Then your eyes became larger
Than the life you could have had

I would leave it all the same
If I could live again

Here is the deal
Never chase what's been and gone
I know you might feel
You've lost more than you have won
It won't matter now
Look, I'll throw that box away
Wherever you are
New keepsakes are on the way

Don't let your eyes become larger
Than the life you still can have

I would leave it all the same
If I could live again
'Cause if I tore the world apart
You'd say regret had pierced my heart"

If I Could Live Again

"We didn't get the chance to say goodbye
And that's my fault
Yet somehow I know you've forgiven me
I'm writing this postcard from home
To let you know we are well
And the actual thought you might hear me

Warms my heart
It warms my heart

Wish I could match your writing
But I never will
All your words are engraved in my memory
May this postcard find you in a much better place
While the hope I'll see you again

Warms my heart
It warms my heart"

"Little blue jay
Spread your wings
Your time's come
Strike a pose
Then take flight
And be gone

Gonna rise, gonna fall
My own way
As these skies take their toll
On this blue jay

Might forget
How the Earth smells
And the waterfalls
But you'll know
No other shades of blue
Among all pitfalls

Gonna rise, gonna fall
My own way
As these skies take their toll
On this blue jay

Gonna rise, gonna fall
My own way
Homeland skies falling down
On this blue jay"

"Meaningless
Like everything is
We are alone
In the end we're all alone

I stare into your eyes
Through a telescope
You've stared into my heart
More than I could cope

We're galaxies apart
Nothing to do about it
Don't take it to the heart
You might just smile about it

I'm writing this song
And you don't care about it
You won't even be listening
To what I had to say

I'll buy me some fake flowers
And a stuffed little toy
Just because they last forever
You know they'll never die

I'll wave at the world
From a distant planet
We're galaxies apart
Nothing to do about it

We're galaxies apart
Nothing to do about it
Don't take it to the heart
You might just smile about it

Pointless I guess
Like everything is 
We've never figured out
What the hell we're doing here

We move from one human
Onto another 
While holding on to status and gadgets
For dear life

We're galaxies apart
Nothing to do about it
At least them tools are "smart"
I might just laugh about it

We're galaxies apart
Nothing to do about it
Won't take it to my heart
I might just smile about it"

"I still miss you but you'll never know
How much I want you I'll never show
I fall too hard, I fall too low
It's all or nothing so let me go

(He'll let you go)

I still miss you 
('Cause you still miss him)
But you'll never know
(But he'll never know)
How much I want you 
(How much you want him)
I can never show
('Cause you never show)
I fall too hard
(You fall too hard)
I fall too low
(You fall too low)
For me it's all or nothing 
(It's all or nothing)
So please, let me go

It's all or nothing

"The rumour has it that you've kept
This heavy world hard to accept
On your shoulders for some time
They say you've got to be your best
Compete, excel, life's a contest
Weakness is a crime

It's OK to feel down
That's alright, I'm not gonna mind your frown

Take a break from the world
Leave your anger out there in the cold

You always know where the exits are
And this is how you get quite far
In the storm, on a sea of frost
You always try to hide your tears
Works better when you let the fear
Pass right through you like a ghost

It's OK to feel down
That's alright, the beauty plays the clown

Take a break from the world
Leave your anger out there in the cold
It's OK to feel down (I'm not gonna judge)
That's alright, I'm not gonna mind your frown
Grab my hand, pull me down with you
Would you mind a friend or anyone will do?"

"With youthful elation
Days roll by
Who put the nights in between them
Must've been a savage
On a deadly mission
Of pure submission
But a time will come
When you'll open your eyes
And breathe again

And then we'll live
We'll chase another sun
There'll be no one beating us
At this game of life we'd clearly won
And then we'll live
Through so much pain and fun
And when all is said and done
You'll be the one 
To call it a life

I know it comes at you
Often thick and fast
But it never lasts
Enough to drop you
On your sore knees
On silly broken dreams
Which you'd left behind
When the beggar went blind
So you can see again

So you can live
To chase another sun
There'll be no one beating us
At this game of life we'd clearly won
And then we'll live
Through so much pain and fun
And when all is said and done
You'll be the one 
To call it a life

Neither of us will ever know
When the time is right to let it go

So make it now
Release the dying sun
There'll be no one beating us
At this game of life we'd clearly won
And then we'll live
Through so much pain and fun
And when all is said and done
You'll be the one 
To call it a life"

"So many times you look back on your past
A slave of latent guilt
I know you've hurt and never really healed
But no one truly does

And that pain, unwanted legacy
You put it all on me
You put it all on me
I've got to show it to the world
Now I have to show it to the world

We might have got it
All wrong, but it's fine
I should have told you
Your fault is mine

Nobody told you how this drama will've played
I had to learn it for myself
I've loved you and forgiven you
A thousand times
And I promise we're good

While that dormant guy inside
Might have other thoughts
I often show him to the world
Don't wanna show him to the world
Don't wanna do things as I'm told

We might have got it
All wrong, but it's fine
I should have told you
Your fault is mine

This fight is now over
And the win is split
Soon love will take over
And I'll take the hint"

"Jenny's happy 'cause today
She took her booster then she got laid
She scans all QR codes she finds
It's "she/her", yeah, she doesn't mind

Jenny likes the current trends
They tell her "jump" and she just bends
Her TikTok favorites ooze AI
She likes fake vids, I don't know why

Yo, Jenny, they might have had you
Things are not what they seem
It's all just a dream
You simply cannot wake up from

Jenny leads the simple life
Never questions, decent wife
Her profile pic is yellow blue
Offend her and she might just sue!

Yo, Jenny, they might have had you
Things are not what they seem
It's all just a dream
You simply cannot wake up from

Stupidity is natural
And not quite addressed
The tech is just collateral
And not for the best

We should be fixing humans first
Else Jenny lays some robots next

Yo, Jenny, I say we're doomed
You've literally just consumed
All their stories
All their fakeness
All that is wrong with this world

Stupidity is natural
(We should be fixing humans first)
And not quite addressed
The tech is just collateral
(We should be fixing humans first)
And not for the best

"It's time
I thought I'd let you know
Those prophecies you've dreaded to hear 
Are about to fuse and blow

You've never believed
Ferociously outcasting me
Disaster must eventually come
As the only way to set you free

Nothing is harder to believe than the truth
You can hardly accept the fact you've been played
Don't take it out on me, I'm just the messenger
A deranged Messiah the father disowned

He was playing the saviour, back in '89
(too old to die now)
His gross misbehaviour came across utterly fine
(too old to die now)
Sent hundreds to their deaths, with no remorse at all
A master deceiver who should've been nailed to a wall

Nothing is harder to believe than the truth
You can hardly accept the fact you've been played
Don't take it out on me, I'm just the messenger
A deranged Messiah the father disowned

I am a disturbed little prophet
Who’s been warning you all along
Never been wrong and salvation, my friends
It’s in your praying hands
If you stopped living in denial
My unhinged prophecies would never come to pass
And the critical mass will emerge
Into upheaval and the surge history is written for"

"Joe puts his smartphone down
Was time to take a break
He turns the TV on
And reckons news is fake

Joe never goes to church
As all his gods are dead
He's not a follower
Avoids being misled 

It's all just for the clicks
Icons for false gods
Carrots on shiny sticks
Icons for false gods

As long as you subscribe
You're caught up in the maze
It's not even a bribe
It's more than just one phase
The online motivators
Are politicians too
And everything you're seeing
Is made to bully you

They raise it everywhere
Icons for false gods
To keep your silent stare
At icons for false gods

The big boys have a plan
Icons for false gods
Bring on the orange man
Icons for false gods

They're gonna crumble soon
Icons for false gods
The whole empire's doomed
Like icons for false gods"

"Room with a view
Windows were open
The warm breeze moved across
Her skin

Was this a dream?
Or ancient memory
Still fresh like the morning sky

Always aside
Never upon a time

In broad light
Cracks can be seen
She made it dim
And I went blind

She locked the room
Swallowed the key
No warning signs to worry me

Always aside
Never upon a time"

"Still sense the trail of scent
She left behind
As she hastily passed by one morning
Must hide terrific stories she cannot tell
A secret spell you're only allowed 
To guess

The rest won't matter
The best won't come

You've watched your life for such a long time
Never dawned on you, you had stopped seeing it 
A long time ago

The rest won't matter
The best won't come
Forget the latter
The deed is done

Lost souls drifting to another place
A lonely space where life can simply occur

Have dinner for breakfast as God's playing dice
You'll be famous for being famous
And you'll only live twice

Sonder
You've found her
And you'll let her know then you'll let her go
The minute she'll tell you 
Your story is her own

You wonder if the silhouette behind her eyes
Gets slimmer as the tear dries
Then cuts the flesh through the bone"

"The cold outside
Pinches a little
It makes you feel
Safer inside
And here you are
All thin and little
Afraid to step
Out of this scar

And hence you see
No clear horizon
No rhyme or reason 
To believe

Unless you open for yourself
A wide window on the world
To suck you out of the prison you've built
And keep you airborne forever
You need a window on the world
To let you breathe the morning in 
And mend the years as they roll on by
Before the final surrender
Makes all your walls come crumbling down
And offers you back to yourself
Will bring you home back to yourself

It'll make you feel alive again
Alive again"

One deep breath
Hold it in
Make it count

Close
Your eyes
Exhale
It's paramount

The sun will rise
And we'll try again

The rain will come to purge the pain
On the edge of the sky
The days of innocence are gone
But they will never die

Distant echo 
Of something real
A whisper only
In the cosmic wind

The beauty you see
In your darkest days
Inspires the mortals
In unthinkable ways

Let's die with the memories
And not with the dreams

The rain will come to purge the pain
On the edge of the sky
The days of innocence are gone
But they will never die

The rain will come to purge the pain
Where hidden worlds collide
The days of innocence get lost
As wings keep open wide"

"The downfall is in bloom
And so long overdue
The crazier the laws
The less people can chew

Cicero advised
The empire will fall
Pass more bread and circus
The Western World is done

We're gonna slide this wave together
Might even have some fun
The frog got boiled and we've surrendered
To such a sordid plan

The time for talks is over right now
Reset the clocks and move on somehow
There's nothing but rust
The West has fallen on its weak knees
I hate to bitch but I have to, bitch, please
It only seems just

They planned it all along
Sped up impending fall
Everything went wrong
And that was their call

Maybe 'twas quite needed
Due to the decadence
Still feels a lil' chilling
Won't get my reverence

We're gonna slide this wave together
Might even have some fun
The frog got boiled and we've surrendered
To such a sordid plan

The time for talks is over right now
Reset the clocks and move on somehow

"The pink elephant won't leave the room
He borrowed my lover's short tight skirt
Someone might spot him very soon
Someone could actually get badly hurt

Would you reckon we live in a dream?
They'd pulled our strings till they broke down
Maybe it's all just a maddening scheme
The naked emperor is back in town

Can you feel it?
When they shoot down the lights
And you give up your right
To be crushed by silence
Did you mean it?
Did you think you could con
Your way out of this swamp
And exhibit defiance

This simulation has gone too far
One cannot tell what's real or fake
Always missing out on the alarm
Living nowadays flows in just one take

Would you trade your freedom for apparent safety?
Are you able to find that missing piece?
Nurturing conflict is suddenly trendy
Yet these advertised wars ain't gonna lead to peace

Can you feel it?
When they shoot down the lights
And you give up your right
To be crushed by silence
Did you mean it?
Did you think you could con
Your way out of this swamp
And exhibit defiance"
