Calling you Home

We don’t owe each other fancy lines
Just one step closer, over time
What’s behind us made us real
But what’s ahead is ours to feel

We’ve both changed, but that’s allowed
No need to fix what time’s worn down
That’s ok, that’s ok

I’m calling you home
I’m calling you home
There’s still a place for you right here

There’s a photo face-down on the shelf
Some days I talk to it, just to check myself

We’ve both changed, but that’s allowed
No need to fix what time’s worn down
That’s ok, that’s ok

I’m calling you home
I’m calling you home
There’s still a place for you right here


Calling You Home (feat. Jolie)

ALL STARTS WITH A CRY
by Anja Berger (www.anjaberger.com)

From darkness you are forced into the light 
And the first thing you do is cry
A scream of freedom for all 
Who are at this place you come into being. 
But for you this scream is the beginning 
Of a terrifying trip called life. 

Why terrifying, the voice deep in me asks. 
"Life is a gift. 
Savor it in all its colors" aspects, she whispers. 
She’s so close, so warm, so alive. 
I want to believe her, but I can’t.

What you have does not last forever, 
What you love will be taken. 
You are born breakable, 
You will die broken. 

She talks about the balance. 
The fortune precedes the sorrow 
And follows it at the same time. 
Grow up, find love, have children. 
Feel the sun, listen to the rain, dance with the wind. 

Chorus

Even if you die, 
This cry follows you. 
You are screaming while coming into this world
You are screaming while leaving it. 
It is always with you.

So she asks me to change and to come to her side
My eyes wide open 
I let myself fall into her open arms. 
My inner voice starts cheering, 
And I smile because I was right. 
The only constant is the cry.

Chorus

-- Silver Key Necklace --

Holding back the souls of greed
Carry me

Holding back my demons
Talk to me

Listen to the 1000 voices
Inside of me

Hear to the sound of fire
Sing to me, sing to me

These are my streets
My little kingdom to rule
Searching for light
Maybe my sun's coming down

And if you feel meekness
This is my love carry me
I got time, I got space, I got silence 
And a silver key necklace for you

Bringing the back souls of fire
Play with me

Holding up the key for our hearts
Dance with me, dance with me

LIONINE

You to me are just like blood
I can’t be without you
In my heart and in my head
Just can’t live without you

You to me are like the air
I can’t exist without you
What I breathe is what I am
Just can’t live without you

You to me are like a blink
I can’t smile without you
Need you more than you think
Just can’t live without you

You to me are like the sun
I can’t shine without you
Shedding light on every one
Just can’t live without you

You to me are like a light
One day soon you’ll light up my night

Shoemansky - Last Chance

Music by Shoemansky, Lyrics by Jaime J. Ross

One Minute Away

No dreams left to dream
No words left to say
The end of your journey
One minute away

I still hear it clearly
I still hear the sound
One final breath in 
One final breath out

And then you were gone
No longer here
Your journey had ended
Your memory, my tear

I look at you now
No words to say
One minute here
One minute away

The blink of an eye
The last shallow breath
We never know when
Just one minute left

Leave nothing unsaid
Leave nothing undone
Look back with a smile
When your journey is done.

Shoemansky - Hello

"It's about the melody. the beat. the sound and the voice. the clash of senses. dramatically usual. dreamlike bleak. marvelous beautiful. the crumbling of the dream. and the essence of passion. a thousand times believed dead. and rose again. my love, my music."
