Burn My Way Out
03:03

I come in chains
Army of zombies
Singing chain-gang chants
I'm done, come to an end
In my eyes the death is penned
Heart pounds slowly
And the jazz is dark
There's no smoke or sunlight
Just fog, rust and midnight
Dark Mark in charge of the prison
He's being charged for having no reason
There are no days and nights
Just time standing by
It has no purpose
But to make you cry
I'm fighting with my brain
It's shutting down
Becoming insane
Controls are lost
The operator is blind
It's about to get down
War is lost
Just one moment
Before my eyes completely shut down
I saw a letter „S“
On the ground
Great electric force shook my mind
„S“ reminded me of The Strokes
And a song that played when we fell in love
Tears of joy started falling
On the floor
I'm gonna burn down everything
With my tears of love
Tears gonna get me out
Tears gonna get me out
With my tears of joy

Isle Of Life

Tears got me out of prison
I escaped through a narrow tunnel
Ended up somewhere in Pacific
I floated unconsciously
Starved to death
Breathed heavily
Decided to let myself go
No more wishes, no more sins
No more illusions, no more fears
It's only the great ocean and me
After fifteen days I woke up
On deserted land
Only cliffs, stones and burning sand
I found mymself a cave
That's where I decided to stay
I mixed rocks with good will and sand
And made land
I was catching fish with my bare hands
After a year I learned to talk with the birds
Seagulls brought me seeds
I gave them fish
Seeds turned to plants
Spices and trees
What once was empty
Became full of life
Just like my heart
I made myself a guitar
And a boat
Started playing „Heroes“
Immedieately remembered the way
I gathered all the seeds
Put them on a boat
I was ready
Course was set
Back to Romance, Groove Land
Where my journey began

Just Dive In
03:36
|

|
Just dive in
Take the next step
When you feel no ground
Just don't look back
What you find out
Gonna make you small
What you find out
Gonna clear your soul
That was on my mind
When I was leaving
My island behind
Sea is alive and acts like us
What you find out
Gonna make you small
What you find out
Gonna clear your soul
It can be beautiful
It can be cruel sometimes
You gotta have respect
And be careful
If you're not wanted
You'll end up dead
What you find out
Gonna make you small
What you find out
Gonna clear your soul
After a few days
I was starting to relax
My eyes were clearing up
One day I saw Saint Child
Up on a cloud
He laughed like a dolphin
Had a cigar
Was surfing through the clouds
He just nodded and smiled
And passed on by
I had an ocean to cross
Before I could enter the Moonshine river
I had no map
But I had a guitar
It was my compass
It's neck always showed the way
It was pointing Romance
Groove Land

Spirit Of Weight
02:41

When I was a little kid
All I learned was to feel guilt
It still follows me as a thick shadow
And I try hard not to measure
All I do
And did I earn
My every chance
My every pleasure
My passion is my curse
My treasure
Come on now
You spirit of weight
Let's grab you a drink
And just put you in bed
When I was a little kid
All I learned was to feel guilt
It still follows me as a thick shadow
Did I earn
My every pleasure
Come on now
You spirit of weight
Let's grab you a drink
And just put you in bed
My passion is my curse
My treasure
My passion is my curse
My treasure
Come on now
You spirit of weight
Let's grab you a drink
And just put you in bed

False Romance
02:10

Off we go
Where to
I don't know
Send in the rats
To eat my soul
People are
On a holyday
Where's my Phoenix
He can't have no grave
Did they lie
When they said
This bird
Can't die
I'm telling myself
Everything's fine
Sun is up
Soon it falls down
Where to put my weight
Trains are gone
Genitor's asleep
Should I surrender
And call it a day
Or will I fight
It's just an ugly night
Maybe I'm weak
But my will is strong
It shouts at life to go on
I ain't gonna die without a song
I ain't gonna die without a song
Life should be playable
Grian says there's no connection available
Hurricanes are laughin'
Mountains are shakin
A man is about to die
Can God awake him
Relax, ain't nobody gonna die
I'm just down here
Playin' drums with Mr. Brown
If you want to live
Come here and dance
'Cause
There's no room on the floor
For a false romance

I Just Need You
03:08
|

|
Here I come
On a back of a super baboon
Faster than time
Faster than noon
Had to bend some lines
Just to see you soon
As a spectator
As a star
To experience sublime
To experience sublime
Just one more time
Just one more time
Miracle needs a witness
Witness needs a miracle
I just need you
Miracle needs a witness
Witness needs a miracle
I just need you

Black piano keys
Greenland's baby seals
New life held on broken knees
Purple sky with the buzzing bees
Secrets of the wind
Distant homes in the trees
Naked verses flowing with the breeze
Can I
Hold you
For a while
I looked through the eyes
Of someone I don't know
I saw mountains of ice
And a child with a glow
He played banjo with his eyes closed
His melody exposed
For the living
For the dead
For the surface to melt
Can I
Hold you
For a while

Well Raised Man
03:47
|

|
If you want to go beyond
You go love
That's why the birds brought me seeds
That's why I made land out of rocks and sand
That's why the tears could burn a hole in the prison wall
That's why the boat kept it's course in the raging storm
That's what kept me sane
That one little winter in Japan
Love is wings and bread
Fear is lead
Love makes you alive
Fear makes you a bit more dead
This place is so calm
You can see the stars
There're are no devils here
Just some good spirits and me
You can spend a night here and be free
Lights are out only when you feel no fear
Horses are runnin' through the clouds
Whales are singing lullabies
I'm a well raised man
I'm thaught to make plans
I can't forget about The Great Now
It's what stays and remains

Worn Down Crown
02:42
|
|||
|
Can I pawn my heart's sorrow
Is there some love that I could borrow
I swear I'll give it back one day
Just need to find my heart's glow
Where it escaped
I don't know
It went searching for my soul
But it faded
When got stomach-low
It got scared
Nothing sacred, nothing sweet
Just a rotten wheel I'm trying to keep
When hyenas come crawling out
It's hard to spot a spark in the dark
Beauty it's hard to see
When all you feel is a need
And eyes just roll around
Glued to the ground
There's just concrete
No more gold lying around
Just you with your worn-down crown
It's not of a king
It's of a clown
