America

You know you are flying high
But who knows the reason why?
You're the good thing in many lies
You're the bad thing in secret files
Got the finger right
on your trigger

America
Your pace is high
America
Your shadows are dark
but then your lights start to shine

Wherever you are, wherever you are

You're the right friend guiding our fights
You're the bad guy leading our rights
Point the finger now
Your way

America
Your pace is high
America
Your shadows are long
But then your lights start to shine

You're the saint in saving our lives
You're the devil in crossing our lines

We are all the same
Until we take the blame

Wherever we are, wherever we are

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

Out of Time

by Shoemansky & The Avenue


SILENTLY

Was it the wind that told me,
or the color of your hair,
or the scent of love
fading in the air,
that soon you'd leave me,
that soon you'd not be there?

I could see all the changes,
could feel it in the air,
I held your hand
but you weren't there,
your eyes so distant
looking away somewhere.

Silently, so silently,
your eyes just seemed to say,
"Look away, look away,
my love, please look away,
like the wind I always come
and like the wind I'll go away"

I remember the last day,
you said you'd go somewhere,
your voice was different,
a cold wind in the air,
suddenly goodbye,
and then you just weren't there.

I could see all the darkness
deep in your eyes somewhere,
a touch of goodbye
always in the air,
I knew that you'd leave me,
that soon you'd not be there.

Lyrics by Tom Dardzinski

Shoemansky - Blind (feat. ohsowhy)

"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."
