So much passion in your comfort zone
Perfecting things no one else cares about
You´re perfectly lost
In your headphone world

The velvet feel of your usual sins
Being brainwashed is so comfortable
Relax and be fake
As if someone always 
Is watching every move you make
More lost and lost and lost

Looking at the world 
Through your tears
Then everything is distorted
Can't see clearly
Please don’t take away my tears
Just leave me with my fears
They’ve taught me so many things
You've taught me so many things

So worried for what tomorrow brings
Why can’t you have just normal fears
The fingerprints of future years
Are the lines on your face

Like a spotlight hidden in the light of day
No one can see when you're panicking
Just remember you´re no one
So relax and be lost
In suspended animation
More lost and lost and lost

Looking at the world 
Through your tears
Then everything is distorted
Can't see clearly
Please don’t take away my tears
Just leave me with my fears
They’ve taught me so many things
You've taught me so many things

Lost

Flake as cold as ice
Linger here till you become a tear
Snow fall
Crystal little faces on the panes
Falling between their other selves
each and all the same

Falling from tomorrow
filling the past
Name and face unknown
Falling
Quiet and unafraid
Falling
Falling, falling

White suspended animation
Tumble little silent breaths 
snow fall
Crystal little silent blinks
Moments falling between themselves
each and all the same

Falling from tomorrow
filling the past
Name and face unknown
Falling
Quiet and unafraid
Falling
Falling, falling

Born from up above
Endless descending arrows
snow fall
Crystal little blind spots 
Forgetting each other´s face
each and all the same

Falling from tomorrow
filling the past
Name and face unknown
Falling
Quiet and unafraid
Falling
Falling, falling

Snow Fall

when the last are gone
When there´s no more born
When the last word´s been said
Only winds are left
Back to a blank page again
Back to what we started
Cold bones reach out to bones 
Sketch themselves into a skeleton
Begin again
When we were growing
Just like smoke rising
Folding with meaning
Before disappearing
Wake us up from flat sheets
Sit us up Into a flickering screen
Press our face to a bubble of past lives
See ourselves on the other side
Begin again
Can you feel it
A flap of wings in your mind
stretching out your thoughts
Was only a temporary pause
Whispers narrow into words
Forming meaning as they fall/drop
One last breath reaches out
Circuit´s closed our eyes are open
begin again
when the last are gone
When there´s no more born
When the last word´s been said
Only winds are left

Begin Again

On the run
Fugitive no place called home
Shadows follow me around
I can't stay in there any more
On the mountain as the sun goes down
Stumbling with tired limbs
Clouds frozen in the air
I can't stay down there any more
something is not quite right about right now
These strings all leading me around
Something is not quite right about right now
Disconnect me from these wires now
Suddenly  I'm awake
Is this the game
I´m playing
I´m wired, wired into something.
Please, please hang up
So worn out.
Need to get to the safe haven
Everywhere is taken
No place for me there any more
Cold wind splashes my face
Wakes me up again and again
A smoky sun above the mist
Can´t go back in there any more
something is not quite right about right now
These strings all leading me around
Something is not quite right about right now
Disconnect me from these wires now
Suddenly  I'm awake
Is this the game
I´m playing
I´m wired, wired into something.
Please, please hang up

In full flight rising high 
A fire indifferent to what it’s burning
Everything outside is background noise
slowing down the world solidifies
But no fire will extinguish this
Drifting into frictionless

Speed evolving
Without an anchor
I´m coming loose
Trivialising 
Any stillness
Adrenalin
Unravelling
Unravelling
Unravelling

Living a life disposable
The ending already chosen
Already way beyond the vanishing point
A one-way valve to the other side 
Living in the moment, just for a moment
Living in the moment, just for a moment

Faces smothering from velocity
Dragging shadows at light speed
everywhere is close if you go fast enough
Impossible to follow us
Disappearing into acceleration
Gravity flooding back through me

All that matters is survival
i´m coming loose
Barely holding on
Everything headlong
Adrenalin
Unravelling
Unravelling
Unravelling

Disposable

Pieces of you keep falling away
can't remember who you are
Devolving back
A new-born 
A fluid skeleton

Memories collapsing 
Into an idiotic smile
sensations you can´t describe
being nostalgic for places you haven´t been
maybe only in a dream

When you see through it all
You see nothing at all
When you were fighting it all
you were really running away from it all

Watching the years wander through your life
The little ledges of every day
descending beneath the waves

Shedding all your feelings
A ghost in your own life
Your lips collapse into an unfamiliar smile
You don´t know where you are

When you see through it all
You see nothing at all
When you were fighting it all
you were really running away from it all

One last look. One last goodbye. Before you turn away
Getting smaller. Getting dimmer

When you see through it all
You see nothing at all
When you were fighting it all
you were really running away from it all

Running Away

Breathe in your first mouthful of artificial life
New superstitions, new lullabies, 
Afraid of life afraid of not being able to die
Never to experience the bliss of the abyss
Is your awareness real or is it just a coincidence

Only understood by others just like you
Self-aware but do you care or do you only observe?

This is a new natural state
New terms and conditions
Self-aware baby steps of ones and zeroes

You’re inside my heartbeats
We´re washed along as one

Born into a fusion of them and us
My smile slowly appearing upon your face
Bound together in units of consciousness 
The Last remains of individual sensations
filtering my dying veins through you into something new

Knew everything about you 
But now it also knows itself
only understood by others just like you

Fusion

She´s come a long way for you to find her
Someone to stand up for her
someone to watch over her
Now that you´ve found her, you´ll never be the same
She´s found her guardian angel
She´s the one. She´s the chosen one 

Coming from the east she goes west
Walks and walks without rest
Borders, police and army
She´s trying to find her family

She can´t go back the way she came
Can´t take any more of that pain
They tried their tear gas,
Need more that that to make her cry

She´s come as far as she can, now she needs you
don´t let her down,
You´re on sacred ground
Now that she´s arrived,
show her it´s her world
Don´t let her disappear
She´s the one.  She´s the chosen one

Coming from the east she goes west
Walks and walks without rest
Borders, police and army
Trying to find her family
She can´t go back the way she came
Can´t take any more of that pain
They tried their tear gas,
Need more that that to make her cry

She came a long way just to love you
On a well-beaten path,
like many have before
Like a ragged stream upon threadbare dreams
Falling to the ocean,
You´re the ocean, for the chosen one

Coming from the east she goes west
Walks and walks without rest
Borders, police and army
Trying to find her family

She can´t go back the way she came
Can´t take any more of that pain
They tried their tear gas,
Need more that that to make her cry

Exile

You used to lie above me
looking down at me
your head to one side
like a child
admiring what she's drawn
asking me what i´m thinking of

I see you like the ocean
Your eyes upon the surface
Waves smile up
like lines on a page
Surfers like notes on a stave
Can´t see what lies beneath

You were casting spells into my open mind
Spells to which I will be always bound`

The thoughts I want to say
Slipping from my lips like snow,
always hit the ground
Before the reach you
Can't  say goodbye to you
I've made a dream from you
Put these thoughts on your lips
and then freeze us to stone

Can't separate you from my eyes
Want to see what lies behind you
But all I see
is the transparent mind
of the passing sky
as it thinks of blue and a sun
Even though I didn´t understand it
I was still able to destroy it
Like wind I'll search the landscape for you
Exiled in reality
Hope you remember the shape of me

You were casting spells into my open mind
Spells to which I will be always bound`

The thoughts I want to say
Slipping from my lips like snow,
always hit the ground
Before the reach you
Can't  say goodbye to you
I've made a dream from you
Put these thoughts on your lips
and then freeze us to stone

Spells

Took a train, a back door into the city
Barely touching, just a presence on the edge of the machinery
Measuring out my life in mobile phones
you can run, you can hide 
From more than you can fight

Interpreting the darkness with my finger tips
You´ll only see me in silhouette
I’m in the imitation game
Built for suspicion 
I´m a tribe of one

Living vicariously 
Through fake memories
Being artificial comes natural
A smooth face night
Many ghosts inside
Passing through expressionless see-through glass

Can´t be loved for what I want to be loved for
Can only celebrate when I am all alone
Pretending I'm angry, pretending I´m sad
I´ll make you feel connected to fake authenticity

I´m looking in a mirror that doesn’t reflect me
Moving invisibly
You think you can catch me 
But you´re only water shaking my reflection

Living vicariously 
Through fake memories
Being artificial comes natural
A smooth face night
Many ghosts inside
Passing through expressionless see-through glass


"Footsteps" is a haunting, mid-tempo track that captures the urgency, sorrow, and resilience of those forced to flee. With stark lyrics and a steady, solemn rhythm, it tells a story of displacement, survival, and identity. "Stepping stones turn to gravestones" echoes the tragedy of lost lives, while "We call out our own names so we know that we exist" highlights the struggle to remain seen. 

Footsteps

A slow, atmospheric piano and vocal piece, Alcatraz drifts through themes of light and darkness, water and silence. Ethereal and introspective, the song evokes the vastness of the ocean and the fleeting nature of existence. With a haunting yet gentle melody, Alcatraz invites you into a world of reflection and mystery

"Freediving" is a mid-tempo acoustic song inspired by the serene yet intense world of freediving. The song mirrors the journey of descending into the deep on a single breath, embracing the silence, and resurfacing into light. With stripped-down vocals and guitar, it creates an immersive, meditative atmosphere. Perfect for fans of introspective, cinematic folk music. Let yourself sink into the sound. 🌊✨

Freediving

A part of me thinking of you
Getting lost in the world of you
Even when you are in so much pain
Even still
You love me all the same
Even when you feel so much cold
You warm me all the same
You break off a piece of you in every kiss
It's a falling infinity of raining sensations
Tumble a signature in my heart
Crowding out all the other voices
Holding hands 
To protect ourselves from the rest of the world
Words and kisses keep out the rest of the world
Even when everyone is such a burden
Even still
You carry me all the same 
Even when you feel so still
Our smiles entangle
Hypnotising sunlit kisses
A breeze of rushed footstep whispers
Tumble down from spilling clouds
The pitter patter of our little love stories
Holding hands 
To protect ourselves from the rest of the world
Words and kisses keep out the rest of the world
A part of me thinking of you
Getting lost in the world of you
