Former 03:10
Shell smashed, 427 on T.V. It's a long, long flight and they want you to be Brave, but now see you burned in the hills Nightmares, institutions and thrills Oh all these pictures in my head I swear they want to see me dead Oh all these pictures in my head I swear they want to see me... I'm seeing monsters in my sleep I'm getting anxious when you leave A trivial moment in the past A fatal bruise and it will last Oh all these pictures in my head
2.
School 03:14
Reach out, speak loud A hundred unknow eyes to scale A hundred millions ways to fail Let down, strike down I've learned enough to know myself I've learned enough to hurt someone else Wrong time, wrong place Sunny days they seem so long Tell me what will I become Here she comes I know now that I can't compete I know now that a heart can bleed And I fall Wake me up when All these things have gone at last All these times have come to past
3.
Pressure 03:15
Hands cuffed on my back Need the pressure in my head Need the pressure on my bones Tinfoil dragons, psychic stones And you're such a pretty girl And I'm such a pretty liar See the postcards in your hand See my footprints in the sand See the children in the dark See an ending when it starts And you're such a pretty girl And I'm such a pretty liar And you're such a pretty girl And I'm such a pretty liar Need the pressure on my head Need the pressure and the fire Oh you're such a pretty girl

Exile 02:20
Moving out, a town so loud On the ground-floor in exile Change myself, become someone else 'It will happen in a while' And did it happen so fast, oh well it happened so fast Hanging upside down In a park with a beer, have a smoke, have a chat With a vagrant and a clown (And they talked too much) Stand alone, on my own Craft sculptures out of the trash Found my name in the blame Drippy tunes I try to hash And did it happen so fast, oh well it happened so fast Cute and paranoid Moving out, a town so loud Funambulate above the void (And I've lost control) See me now, I'm getting out of touch On an island in the sun In a cave somebody left behind To buy a bigger gun See me at the rails, looking for a place Aeroplanes fly through the skies See an end in all, waiting for the fall And then it falls before my eyes
5.
Lost 02:38
Growing old, growing cold With you Bad luck again, a smile in vain A stone You know I waste my time I've always wasted my time with you No I never, ever Think of you You know I waste my time I still waste my time without you Missing you
6.
Birds 02:57
I must make a move, found my teeth on the highway Easy way out and a blues for your own Stucked up in this madness, cloudy weather on my heyday We can get along and I can be alone Please come up with something Waiting for that something Please come up with something Waiting for that something I must make a move dirty deeds on the highway On the backshore, on a mountain, in the trash Found myself in the warmth of a sunday Coal-dust covered lower rhine leave a blanket of ash Please come up with something Waiting for that something Please come up with something Waiting for that something I can make a move, found my feet on the highway Still undecided so I think about birds
7.
Blow 03:00
Did you hear how the world just falls apart See it clear now but must it be that hard Can you feel me when I am losing touch An ideal that bores me so much (And here we go again) Can you hear how the blood rushes through my veins See it clear now, old burn marks and stains Can you feel me when I am losing touch An ideal that bores me so much (And I swear by god it's killing me)

Boulala 03:16
Heat out – just a moment of truth in my mind Heat out – show me something in life I can find Heat out – pointless and broken – in need Heat out – times it's hard to stay on my feet And walk Twenty-five stairs and I feel alive And walk Heat out – times it's hard to stay on my feet Heat out – pointless and broken – in need Heat out – show me something in life I can find Heat out – just a moment of truth in my mind Just walk Twenty-five stairs and I feel alive And walk
9.
Settle 02:35
Shell smashed, get me out I'm no longer in this airplane On my cloud I'm seeing raindrops passin' by And hit the earth in summertime A simple tune, a simple mind Is so confused – waking up Spiral down – a frequent beating in my chest Serotonin, synaptic cleft Somatic cells – I just found something in myself Shell smashed, pieces fly I can see you from the distance Passin' by – another day, another time And I see you in evening air A complex code, the complex shape Of pheromones – washing up Settle down – I'm seeing clearer through your eyes Oxytocin, amino acid Neural cells – I just found something in myself Get away, get along she said A glimpse of heaven in a godless world

Olde 03:59
Time's up now for your play Flooded land of youth no need to stay Too many waters To swim Expectations failed, don't speak and dive The river floats to keep you alive Too many waters To swim

Solo artist from the devastating outskirts of Cologne.
Everything was recorded at home with shitty equipment - that's the price you pay - but with a lot of devotion. <3
