I hate being so cynical
I hate feeling so
Cautious and jaded and scared

What has made us this way?
Who has led us so far astray?
Surely this can’t be
All we can be

Can we undo it all?
Lay down the armor
Of smooth and easy insincerity

Oh, how good would that be?  

I hate being so hard
I hate going through motions
And feeling so dead inside

Sometimes this isolation is crushing me
And it’s hard to figure out how I should be
How I can be
Different

Can we undo it all
With openness, courage and love?
Can I reach out to you?
And you to me?

Oh, how good would that be?

Different

Buy on bandcamp

OH OK

Six-string slung across my spine,
Road dust mixed with cherry wine,
Sold-out nights, the amps would scream,
We were gods inside a dream.

Lightning in our blood and bones,
Love and chaos on the phones,
Now it’s silence in the hall,
But I still hear every call.

I still see the hands reachin’ high,
Feel the thunder in the sky,
Back when fire burned in my name,
And every kiss was gasoline.
Now the crowd’s a distant haze,
Just echoes on a faded stage.

Leather jackets, broken strings,
We gave our souls to the machine,
Red-lipped girls and hotel sins,
Yeah, we thought it’d never end.

Every song, a rebel prayer,
Screamin' loud like no one cared,
Now I play to empty rooms,
Still chasing ghosts in worn-out tunes.

I still see the hands reachin’ high,
Feel the thunder in the sky,
Back when fire burned in my name,
And every kiss was gasoline.
Now the spotlight’s cold and strange,
But I still bleed on this faded stage.

No curtain call, no grand goodbye,
Just vinyl dreams and bloodshot eyes,
I’d trade it all to feel that spark,
One last riot in the dark.

I still see the hands reachin’ high,
Feel the thunder in the sky,
Back when we were wild and loud,
Kings of sweat beneath the crowd.
Now it’s just me and my cage,
Singin' truth on a faded stage.

Yeah, the glory days are gone,
But the song still rages on...



Faded Stage

Привіт! Ти памʼятаєш? Навіть у найважчі часи сонце продовжує світити, заливаючи своїми променями нахабні кульбаби, велетні-дерева, стріхи старих дахів, безтурботні усмішки дітей та насуплені обличчя дорослих. З-під свіжих розчісаних килимів весни проростає тепле літо. До зустрічі в ньому. А поки ти чекатимеш на мене, я триматиму ніжно твою руку в тіні наших спогадів. Адже все приємне, що ми маємо та що ми мали не зникає, воно залишається в пам’яті: в листівках, в фотографіях, в речах, в далеких шухлядах подій, відкриваючі які ти пригадуєш момент щастя, частиною якого ви були.

Some lyrics of mine

Song
Ein Moment für Dich

Finster ist's um Dich herum.
Sei nicht dumm.
Zünde Dir ein Lichtlein an,
dessen Flamme Dir hell leuchten kann.

Lese Du im Buche das,
was Du auch gut verstehst.
Lese Du mit Spaß,
so wie Du zu Dir stehst.

Da kommen Dir Gedanken ein.
Manche sind so frisch.
Nimm es wahr, das wäre fein.
Setze Dich an diesen Gabentisch.

Erkenne all der Dinge gutes Wesen,
ohne Dich zu jucken.
Sie sind schon immer so gewesen.
Was sollten sie da bedrücken?

Find Du auch zurück zu Dir.
Das gilt es zu bejahen,
wann immer hinter Deines Geistes Tür
sich Dir die Gedanken offenbaren.

All diese Dinge begreife,
so dass sie Dir gerecht werden.
Ja, an dieser Idee reife,
dafür möchte ich werben.

Manches solltest Du auch lassen.
Das kann gerne geschehen.
Wirst Du Dich damit befassen?
Momente kommen, Situationen vergehen.

Ein Moment für DIch

Ein Moment für Dich

A place to call home
I thought I'd find you
A love like that
There's no putting behind you

Why'd you have to give me a promise
You had no way to fill
A circle's not progress
You might as well be standing still

I never stopped looking
Even finding false gods
What I was missing
A twist in the plot

Why'd you have to give me a promise
You had no way to fill
A circle's not progress
You might as well be standing still

You, you are home for my head
Breathes in my heart
And though it hasn't been said 
Outside in
Put me to bed
The search is over
I found where it led

Why'd you have to give me a promise
You had no way to fill
Why'd you turn it around
Go in for the kill
A circle's not progress
You might as well be standing still

Promise

You walk through doors that once were closed,
with secrets only silence knows.

[Chorus]
Alone—
you haven’t felt love in years.
Alone
not sure if someone missed you through the tears.
That feeling…
is the one you truly miss.

[Verse 2]
So now, go on, reshape your mind,
trade old beliefs for new design.
You turned your gold into the mud,
a kingdom crumbled into dust.

What once you had, you didn’t buy,
now you know the cost of that old lie.
You see how blind you’ve always been—
in love, in loss, in your own skin.

[Chorus]
Alone—
you haven’t felt love in years.
You don’t want to
be alone—
no memory that someone held you dear.
And that ache…
that’s what you truly fear.

[Bridge – dreamy instrumental / falsetto echoes]
“All that I am, I gave away…”
“The mirror cracked, but still I stay…”
“A wave of love, it pulled me out…”
“She changed me—there’s no doubt.”

[Final Chorus – full band, emotional lift]
You changed yourself and the world turned new,
a wave of love, it carried you.
Out of the cage, the golden haze,
away from guilt, away from blame.

[Outro – repeated, fading]
Yeah… yeah…
That’s the feeling…
That’s the feeling…
you were mi
