your eyes are barely open, walls sterile and pale. 
in a cave with no window i watched you floating down the drain. 
When sleep overcomes and washed me apart 
your body is a landfill your ghost state of the art. 

would you rather bring: 
a change in your color 
just like a brand new dawn? 

but when you arrived, no longer the offer. 
what does it take to let you lie awake? 
a glimpse in your eyes, the tides will not alter. 
a twitch in your blindfold, you changed the lead. 

the days all bend the red to black. 
machines they hum their tunes. 
at night nobody´s watching I 
leak sweetening in your wounds. 

would you rather bring: 
a change in your color 
just like a brand new dawn? 

but when you arrived, no longer the offer. 
what does it take to let you lie awake? 
a glimpse in your eyes the tides will not alter 
i´ve been so blind while you rage in my head.

you can not expect what i´ve rendered
with no time upon our hands. 
the way i held you like a coward
with a spell over our heads. 

and when we live, we live on paper 
and the clockwork hums our song.
i refuse to be your ghost
oh felice, you´ve got me wrong, you´ve got me. 

with every page grows the weight on my shoulder.
with every moon we grow further apart. 
don´t tell me you´ll wait when my hands are unfolded
i love you better from afar.

no distance ever could erase you.
it´s all wrong, but it´s all right. 
it is my sickness that will save me.
from the way you broke my spine.

and when we live we live on paper. 
and the trial hums our song.
i refuse to be your ghost.
oh felice, you´ve got me wrong.

with every page grows the weight on my shoulder. 
with every moon we grow further apart. 
don´t tell me you´ll wait when my hands are unfolded.
i love you better from afar.

606 + Heartbreak

out to sea,
come be my centerpiece.
don't mean that much to me. 

and I know what it's like
to beat the passing time
so help me synchronize 
forever and a day.

and i know that it seems
that we are in between
to be the last you wanted
forever and a day. 

and over seven seas
be my catastrophe
i´m glad the light is bolder
forever and a day is over.

out to sea
come be my blasphemy
when you are all in need
forever and a day.

and after all this time
still shift my paradigm. 
don't let the past rewind.
forever and a day.

and I know that it seems
we starve in endless greed
with no velocity
forever and a day.

and over seven seas
be my catastrophe
i´m glad the light is bolder
forever and a day is over.

606 + Heartbreak

when i woke up, i was far ahead 
and you were lost in bloom.
all mischief you webbed in my hair 
it will betray you soon. 

still i don´t know what our future holds
but it is not for you. 
the moon is pale before the angry dawn
oh when you leave the room. 

but don´t you leave in awe
silent pass the ages.
in my relentless heart
golden are the cages.

when i woke up we were serpentine
and all my stones were true
no complaints about a vine grown old
a riot of the gloom. 

still i don´t know what our future holds
but it is not for you. 
the moon is pale before the angry dawn
oh when you leave the room. 

so don´t you leave in awe
silent pass the ages.
in my relentless heart
golden are the cages.

Palau

all hope is gone,
but the lights are simple.
stay off the edge, 
that we used to circle.

cut me in half 
just liked you used to.
all that we had 
is falling backwards.

whenever i come back you lie in the tide
won´t leave when its over, don´t sever the ties.
whenever i come back, you wait in the dark
the sky is still heavy it pulls us apart.  

all future´s past
with the lights descending.
teach me another
slowdance in limbo.

cut me in half 
just liked you used to.
all that we had 
is falling backwards.

whenever i come back you lie in the tide
won´t leave when its over, don´t sever the ties.
whenever i come back, you wait in the dark
the sky is still heavy it pulls us apart.

who could have known the seventh year would end us?
with all our future down the drain.
I would‘ve done anything to avoid
becoming such a bleak cliché.

who could have known our sunshine ain‘t eternal?
with all our spotted minds at stake.
each wish resigned is my decline
but i shiver and i shake.

and in every single dream of mine
we are the ones that never failed
for you and I to start all over
avoid all mistakes we made.
then I wake up in a strangers bed
or mine to be precise.
when i‘m awake there‘s no denying
the consequence of time.

still I would love to hold you closest
but its not my choice to make
cause in the end we tried so poorly
and now everyone is fake.

there are more questions than answers
convince myself that its OK
and all my past is always fleeting
and i‘m such a bleak cliché.

and in every single dream of mine
we are the ones that never failed
for you and I to start all over
avoid all mistakes we made.
then I wake up in a strangers bed
or mine to be precise.
when i‘m awake there‘s no denying
the consequence of time.

Felice

remember how we ran the night
but still it´s all the same.
my restless hands, my fingertips
my eyes upon the lake. 

the two of us with sunken eyes.
but still we´re both the same.
as the sky would wear its brightest red.
I knew something had changed. 
	
so would you rather run or hide in every corner
shaken by the life i lead?
truth be told i´d rather hear what you won´t offer
dance in every carnival. 

remember how the night lit up? 
for better or for worse.
Yyour restless glow, your false alarms.
a blessing and a curse.

the two of us with withered plans
for better or for worse. 
with heavy lungs and twisted tongues
i knew something had changed.

so would you rather run or hide in every corner
shaken by the life i lead?
truth be told i´d rather hear what you won´t offer
dance in every carnival.

Guacamole Airlines

DEKODA is a duo hailing all the way from the capital of procrastination, Berlin (Germany). Together they play their unconventional version of POP: beat-driven, melancholic and always D.I.Y. Their influences are broad, drawing from Sufjan Stevens, Electronica or your favorite 80s heroine.
