1 Veins
be it the one moon we look upon
it binds and defines
the different grounds
that we‘re standing on
be it the one moon we look upon
it binds and defines
the different grounds
that we‘re standing on
now that we‘re apart for good
I sit in my own chair
I´m too tired to tear down the bridges
that you keep building and building again
and again
I let you go
I let the whole thing go
I am a hundred years old
and you are a new born baby
to the spitting capillaries
to my veins
I dedicate this ride again
to the spitting capillaries
to my veins
I dedicate this ride again
on a lucid screen
you saw me flying the night sky
matter pulls my strings
and my reflection sings
to the spitting capillaries
to my veins
I dedicate this ride again
to the spitting capillaries
to my veins
I dedicate this ride again
be it the one moon we look upon
it binds and defines
the different grounds
that we‘re standing on
be it the one moon we look upon
it binds and defines
the different grounds
that we‘re standing on
2 Defenseless
the road leads to a junction
and that is the place
where the ancestors scream from their graves
and through the air from far far away
your words come like cutting blades
I can smell spring like a hint of fate
dissolving into cardinal points
I have not been able to build a
solid fortress
oh little do we know
and at last
I somehow
am defenseless
defenseless
brother in spirit don‘t disappoint me
come and carry me I won‘t resist you
tomorrow
today
right now
and on every piece of drift wood lies a trap
it is for the birds that you use
to build a cage, build a cage
I am the bird you will use
to build a cage, build a cage
it‘s not possible
I‘m lacking everything it would take
you are wrong my friend
all I can see are the palms of my own hands
at least
ten times a day
I have not been able to build a
solid fortress
oh little do we know
and at last
I somehow
am defenseless
defenseless
brother in spirit don‘t disappoint me
come and carry me I won‘t resist you
tomorrow
today
right now
and on every piece of drift wood lies a trap
it is for the birds that you use
to build a cage build a cage
I am the bird you will use
to build a cage build a cage
3 My Days In The Cell
as time bends
it bends me too
relentlessly
and in the nights
oh oh the nights
they‘re my touchstone
oh in the nights
I can feel it
there‘s an end
to everything
to my shy smile
your soft hands
to my days in the cell
me awaiting
me concentrating
as humans did
throughout the times
as time forces us down
one by one
the task remains
what‘s left to do
enduring my life in the waiting line
counting sour days of these acid time
my roots grow from my soles
on down
my cranium is thick
and it is heaven bound
my cranium is thick
and anchored to the ground
I gave all my intuition
to your slippery hands
how could you dare
not see how precious I am
oh in the nights
I can feel it
there´s an end to everything
to my shy smile
your soft hands
to our days in the cell
4 Two Rows
on a track
far from home
you bring your ears to the steal
but the beat
of your own heart
is all that you hear
the lady
on the bench
in the hall
the dog
in the sun
heating up the platform
if there‘s no
distinct sign at all
you can always
baby always
give me a call
you came here
four weeks ago
just to find yourself
between two rows
you count the days
you see them pass
only you´re not taking part
on the iron sea
there comes a breeze
from a different direction
you take a breath
she takes a breath
you heard that is what people do
what else is it
that they do
if there‘s no
distinct sign at all
you can always
baby always
give me a call
you came here
four weeks ago
just to find yourself
between two rows
from the other end
of this continent
you keep stirring up my insides
like two times
a half moon
above the rotating earth
I say one thing at a time
one thing at a time
5 Jenny In Spirit
it all begins and ends with sound
my voice in an empty depot
where my efficiency amounts
to four percent of what I‘d hoped
his well-meant laughter struggles hard
through his stunning handsomeness
can‘t help it I can see the mark
and I can‘t help following it
inside her seclusion
she has grown like a garden
and after all of these years
she hasn‘t learned how to love him
inside her seclusion
she has grown like a garden
under the sun and the moon
she keeps weaving my dreams
today I heard an echo coming
from far so far across the sea
that made me run
since then I've been running
around the globe devotedly
inside her seclusion
she has grown like a garden
and from across the big sea
she sends me dreams in the night
6 Sitting Bull
7 Aliferous
from the very first day on
you threw yourself before me in the sand
then stood up and built a boat
with splinters in your hands
diligent little soul
with an unspoken pain
all air but all earth as well
nothing can be done in vain
you tear me apart my love
no one is as tender as you
you seem to breathe for me
one day I‘ll breathe for you
as winter had cracked the town
you had found us a lair
and sometimes when you stand before me today, I
can still see us there
the horror waited two years
and ever since has whispered into our ears
you tear me apart my love
no one is as tender as you
you seem to breathe for me
one day I‘ll breathe for you
and as the rain drops down from your weasel head
how can both bowed shoulders get this wet
I can feel the years
in my bones
but I'll take the chance to speak again
It‘s like an undertow
I can never shut my mouth
it comes out in a heap
in a monologue
with one little watcher
or listener
and the search gets strained with every other man
I can only speak open with you
your moony face leaves it open to me
if you heard me or not
if you heard me or not
you tear me apart my love
no one is as tender as you
you seem to breathe for me
one day I´ll breathe for you
8 A Sting
a sting once pierced my heart and stayed
in there for one day or for two
so proud that I still welcome stings
I observed my wound
I stood up and I took some steps
towards my front door
and it took me by surprise
that I only felt an itch and nothing more
you see justice is a rumour
I could go wherever I want
with two bloody hands and my old seabag
noone would come and stop me
in about two weeks
I‘m gonna go to
long hedge street
I will tear down the house
not because I want to go back there
just
only
to make it even
with one lame foot I had to walk
with one split tongue I had to talk
call both my arms a set of scales
that balances every injustice
there‘s a lot you can do from one desk
there‘s little you can shake off your chest
as the vicious cycle takes its turn
you gotta get your lesson learned
you see justice is a rumour
I could go wherever I want
with two bloody hands and my old seabag
noone would come and stop me
in about two weeks
I‘m gonna go to
long hedge street
I will tear down the house
not because I want to go back there
just
only
to make it even
9 A Word
a word is stronger than a hint
it is what they´ve built cathedrals for
I´m a leaf and you are the wind
or was it the other way around
a look is what could bring us closer
I cannot get away from that
and you
have to buy more time
and I
have to save my skin
the weeks I went down that road
with both my eyes wide open
have sunk inside my back
all the time I was two people
two souls two hearts four eyes
and you
have to buy more time
and I
have to save my skin
and you
want to buy more time
but I
have to save my skin
10 Where The Wind Blows
it is a physical impossibility
that you will fall in love with me
it´s an improbability
that you can see what I can see
where the wind blows
I´m gonna kneel
face up high
ass on my heels
folded hands and a buckled lap
a deep flying
birdies trap
roots growing slowly out of my soles
and in my t-shirt two bullet holes
I lose a lash I make a wish
an ambos strike a sigh a squish
my blankets are my memories
so holey like swiss cheese
but somewhere in between the lines
I kiss your head and you kiss mine
my best friend is a voyager
paints warpaint on the void
my lover was a passenger
who I‘m trying to avoid
my art was eaten and excreted
my person was destroyed
but where wind blows
I remain seated
a chunk round and ovoid
11 New Linen
what if there was no dream
what I´m in new linen now
what if I stood here bright clean
what if I‘d say no holy vow
what if we only shared a spot
what if all of their stories told
that‘s really not a lot
but your hands would still provide a warm hold
what helped you through the night
what came and held your hand
it was a glimpse of light
it was the angel of the Enlightenment
because good thoughts they heal
at least in stage one they do
maybe even in stage two
if they try to reveal the truth
you dance with fire
you‘re in control
and the flames they grow higher
you got a lucid soul
the band keeps playing
at your command
so don‘t you bite
into the wrong hand
I didn‘t have you in mind
I think I´m going mad
this day is one of a kind
baby let‘s shut up and take a bath
my friends they say
you‘re using me
I think they´re right you‘ve tried
but I‘m locked up as a safe babe
my soul switched sides
you dance with fire
you‘re in control
and the flames they grow higher
you got a lucid soul
the band keeps playing
at your command
so don‘t you bite
into the wrong hand
you make out with the devil‘s son
how was that game
ever
won by someone
you spin through the ballroom
so childishly
but a lucid soul
can never move weightlessly
