I wanna feel light and sane 
as I’m doing in this state  
and I’m hoping that it stays
even though I feel in vain 

and I float in time 
don’t feel no pressure
now I take whats mine
no need to measure with

and I float in time 
don’t feel no pressure
now I take whats mine
no need to measure with


a smile follows sorrow
recolour my glow
no thoughts about tomorrow
forever now 
forever mine

this is my peculiar way
not everything’s to be obeyed
a lovely breeze I’m out to stray
searching for my tranquilled bay

and I float in time 
don’t feel no pressure
now I take whats mine
no need to measure with

and I float in time 
don’t feel no pressure
now I take whats mine
no need to measure with

Cocoon

you hide inside a concrete palace, safe and warm
coincidence as virtue, oh boy you lost your charme

Blinded by the sun, you’re carrying your gun
but the devil in disguise is youuuu

Not today
Neither tomorrow
I follow
Far away
a made up hollow (sorrow)
you wallow

The pretty face I once knew eternally controlled
a cold-blooded confusion reveals a selfish soul

Blinded by the sun, you’re carrying your gun
but the devil in disguise is youuuu

Not today
Neither tomorrow
I follow
Far away
a made up hollow (sorrow)
you wallow 

All that I know
All that I know 
All that I know
you fly with a black dove   

All that I know 
All that I know
you fly with a black dove   

All that We know 
All that weknow
a dove without love

All that I know
All that I know 
that one day you rewind and see your lies

Tycho

It felt like coming home 
on an August morning
snout in deep wet ground 
a familiar sound

all this rushing
and your clutching
to blind my sight

and you’re blushing
while I’m watching 
I feel your stride

and I’m sobbing 
you’re just watching
leave me behind
after all this time 

now I stray the paths I always stray 
like I used to back in May
where has everybody gone 
no breathe’s been done 


now with my new skin
a new face 
a new day
stray new paths
stray new paths 
 far away


In the snow
veiled in blue 
pulse still pounding 
paws crusted in salt

a world unknown 
thrown into 
a wild howling 
I feel left out

In the snow
veiled in blue 
pulse still pounding 
I feel left out
I feel left out

Blue Dog

Black turns to purple
We share peace and secrets
everything is virtual
we decide

to fly 
high
into cosmic erosion
an endorphine ocean 

We sigh
Smile
into Cosmic erosion
an endorphine ocean

we talk in circles 
unfolding our notions 
a smile unheard of
and we decide

to fly 
high
in a cosmic erosion
an endorphine ocean

We sigh
Smile
into Cosmic erosion
a vital explosion

Moonshiners

Sometimes I wonder 
how do you hold up
in a silence like this
when everything seems to wash away

Sometimes I wonder 
how you sleep at night
in this cold dress 
this cold mess it came to be

Those days will go by
and you won‘t fear anymore
with the weight of your shoulders                          
it will fade away, your inner war 

On some days you ponder 
leading somewhere/ leading anywhere /nowhere
please refuse to dare that you don‘t belong here

You just see this mountain up yonder
clouds from above feel like pushing you down
I still see spark in your eye to light now

Those days will go by
and you won‘t fear anymore
with the weight of your shoulders                          
it will fade away your inner war

A Mountain Up Yonder

open my eyes
straight tied to a screen
dreamlike broadcasts
is this even real

try to ascertain my feelings 
can’t feel what you feel
can’t see what you see
please bring me to my knees

Putting myself in your place
seems wild and unreal
no reactions in my face
is my heart still made to feel 

when my lips touch the cold
the only time I unfold
a new age is coming
is what I’ve been told

walking into a daydream 
from low self-esteems
mesmerizing a future 
hoping it is not real

now I will not let
blind my sight 
cross my fingers for now
hope we‘ll shine bright

Hope I can fly I can fly
Reach my hand for you now 
while I’m still tied
while I’m still tied

Hope I can fly I can fly
but I still don’t know how                                 
while I’m still tied
while I’m still tied

Pulver

I always wanted to tell you in a song
but heaven knows where my words belong
Time seemed like standing still
before you had to swallow a bitter pill 
And I would run to you
Worlds collapse but I follow you
It’s in our nature to grasp for air

But hey
You and I will forever be the same
hands down you can count on me
I haunt to be your friend in the same
way you are to me

I always thought you and I would belong 
From downfalls to highs please tell me if I’m wrong 
Time seemed like standing still                                                     
before you had to swallow a bitter pill
I would run to you
Worlds collapse but I follow you
They called me a stranger and now I say

But hey
You and I will forever be the same
hands down you can count on me
I haunt to be your friend in the same
way you are to me

I give you all my love now
Please give me all your love now
 
But hey
You and I will forever be the same
hands down you can count on me
I haunt to be your friend in the same
way you are to me

In A Song

my body / run – down
so outta / breath now 
my eyes / trembling 
you are / my ending 

even I / pray now
still feel/ lost somehow
and if / you want me 
no don‘t harm anybody

The sky is / upside down
my fever / comes right on
my words/ no meaning
 No time / for healing

Come now/ unmask me
my visions/ plastic
my eyes / trembling
you are/ my ending

now I/ can’t feel me
My heart paused/ nearly
my words/ no meaning
No time / for healing

come now/ devour me
I feel / surrounded
my eyes / trembling
you are/ my ending

Even if I pray now
Can’t make it undone /can’t make it undone
Even if I‘m lost now
someday I will burn you down

Cinnamon

No matter if I sleep
No matter if I‘m humbled 
I will keep you in my dreams 
even if I stumble 


The only way we crown
is within a lesson in love
cause that‘s all that it was 
but I think that’s enough 
if you think about how 
that whole ship sank down

I cross my fingers from the oceans to the tops now
with sand in my eyes to see your face thou


No matter if I sleep
No matter if I‘m humbled 
I will keep you in my dreams 
even if I stumble 


(And even if you can‘t hear my words nomore
I will always cling to you for sure)
My youth washed  away in a  blur while you were gone 
Without you words I don‘t know if i would even belong here


I cross my fingers from the oceans to the tops now
with sand in my eyes to see your face thou


No matter if I sleep
No matter if I‘m humbled 
I will keep you in my dreams 
even if I stumble
