Lyrics:

When I heard
what you said
when I heard 
what you said

Something was wrong 
this spring was dead 
something was wrong 
this spring was dead 

A sun reflection 
on the dish
no consolation 
in the air
I went out
lost in the park
mile for mile
lost in the dark 

What you said
what you said
don't get sad

Once I figured out
the unwritten truth 
the jugdes gavel 
still didn't fall

When I heard
what you said
when I heard 
what you said 
what you said
what you said
don't get sad

You never really asked me
Yyu never really asked me

We lost our glue 
in challenging times
I've no clue 
how to fix the crack

Fullstop

My words are always wrong
I don’t know what to say to you
i’ve tried to put them in a song
i hope that it's a way to break through

I think we’re stronger than you know
More than you give it credit for
yeah,there’s a long long way to go
But first we have to open up the door

So we’ve had our share of tears
You think the dream has gone
We are fumbling through the years
We can find a way to carry on

How can you say that i’m not here
I’ve been right here all along
How can you say that i don’t care
When everything i do is for you, right or wrong

Look straight ahead, don't look back
We both know what we’ve been through
Please don’t mind those hard times
Because they led me here to you

I’ll hold on
And you’ll stay strong

Now it’s good to see you smile 
you haven’t felt like smiling for a while
And the feel of your hand in my hand
It makes everything worthwhile

we’ve had our own share of the dark 
But all of those hard times are gone
And the road ahead is long
But we don’t have to walk alone

Look straight ahead, don't look back
We both know what we’ve been through
Now i don’t mind those hard times
Because they led me here to you

I’ll hold on
And You stay strong

Looking Ahead

SUPERSWAY - Girl's Empire

A smokey blues club, a beautiful singer, and a couple of stiff drinks. Sounds like a good start.

Gods Gonna Cut You Down (Johnny Cash Cover)

Fragile

im so tired of seeing everyone as full of hatred
i keep on cringing when i see myself in my reflection
i keep on blaming myself for the things that happened
hiding away from my friends takes no fucking effort

im full of resetment
my life’s fucking up, cant even tell to my best friends
u know fucking what? imma go and behead them
i know ur tryna help
i wna teach u a lesson, lesson.

The music project "Present Paradox" by Dortmund-based David Kleinekottmann provides insights into the often opaque nature of the present. The result is a fusion of melancholic and danceable elements, expansive and intimate at the same time, diverse and yet familiar. Since 2013, Kleinekottmann has been regularly releasing LPs/EPs that move between indie, experimental rock and electronica.
