Calm Me Down 03:05
Making my stance It depends on me to go through But I’m running from myself and there’s nobody else to talk to And I'm high and down low and I don’t know what to do about It feels right when I flow No one is my foe I hide it I try hard not to be cruel I need you to just calm me down Laughing at me as if I'm the fool I need you to just calm me down These days are passing by In a rush I’m loosing my life You can’t give me back that time I spent on hiding inside my mind You tried to make me believe I'm always asleep it shook me It’s true I'm tired as hell everybody could tell By looking at me And I'm high and down low and I don’t know what to do about It feels right when I flow No one is my foe I hide it

she ́s my medicine when all within me gets too rough And she ́ll be there to swing me round the room and tell me I am enough Well if the tables turn just like The whole atmosphere last night count me out count me in I`m your first second win When it get ́s rough You’re my medince We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace My mind it will be careless careless We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace Our lives will be beautiful an all I wanna paint the life I ́d like to lead Two tickets into the future that I need Boy Pablo: she’s the one to ease my mind when worries hit my head sweet and calm she looks at me and tells me you’ll be okay im looking towards everything that awaits us might not go as planned and i guess that times will change but she makes me believe that the best is yet to come We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace My mind it will be careless careless We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace Our lives will be beautiful and all We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace My mind it will be careless careless We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace Our lives will be beautiful and all I wanna paint the life I ́d like to lead Two tickets into the future that I need We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace My mind it will be careless careless We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace Our lives will be beautiful and all We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace My mind it will be careless careless We ́ll be sitting on our terrace terrace Our lives will be beautiful and all

there’s a circle in my head did I put enough work into this was that worth the bliss to find yourself in hollow grounds where the clerk never writes anything down My very own truth is sadisfaction is an ideal And I walk that tightrope but then I kneel And when I‘m in the dumps She says I stand with you but boy better go take a break I stand with you but better slow down before it‘s too late I stand with you but boy better take a break I stand with you but boy better take a break It’s time to say hello to a new and better me It’s time to let it go, let go what was inbetween From the get go I had dreams Could never tell if they were lints Now I‘m talkin to you and I hope that you can get a glimpse And baby baby this world is tough And maybe as far as I can tell you had a little too much of me I stand with you but boy better take a break I stand wirh you but better slow down before it‘s too late I stand with you but boy better take a break I stand with you but boy better take a break Faster and faster Don’t ever use a plaster Don‘t be selfish and miss out on her feels cause when the shits going to be real and then she‘s beggin there please I stand with you but boy better take a break (and you say) I stand wirh you but better slow down before it‘s too late (and you say) I stand with you but boy better take a break I stand with you but boy better take a break

Atmosphere 03:47
You wanna tell me how I should feel But half of that is real Lost and lone here in that crowded place Better don ́t see what’s inside lost your patience lost your chance I miss you I missed my plans Please don ́t tell me how to feel alive lost your patience lost your chance I miss you I missed my plans Please don ́t tell me how to feel alive To feel alive Tell me how you really feel Do you fear the atmosphere What the fuck am I doing here Do you fear the atmosphere And when you ́re back in the rain You glow in colorful pain You wanna tell me how I should feel But half of that is real Lost and lone here in that crowded place Better don ́t see what’s inside Tell me how you really feel Do you fear the atmosphere What the fuck am I doing here Do you fear the atmosphere And when you ́re back in the rain You glow in colorful pain Every word ́s a reason to bug You lie to me when you wish me good luck Please don’t tell me how to feel alive To feel alive To feel alive Tell me how you really feel Do you fear the atmosphere What the fuck am I doing here Do you fear the atmosphere And when you ́re back in the rain You glow in colorful pain

Gazeback 03:37
I barely saw a light before I stumbled into you I nearly lost the fight It ain’t easy to get out of the gloom Shadows piled up round me It’s not who I am but who I‘m gonna be And I like it too much To drink too much Why care so much Cause life is so tough I gaze back to the kind of love that left me blind My tongue and hands are tied Is it a change in the weather or is it a change in me Just keep in mind that you felt better That’s all they want you to believe But it’s not just like that So hard to succeed I might be a bit down but not on the ruthless streak And I like it too much To drink too much Why care so much Cause life is so tough I gaze back to the kind of love That left me blind My tongue and hands are tied Deep down there‘s gold just try and break the mold I gaze back to the kind of love That left me blind My tongue and hands are tied

Tomorrow I’ll write you a letter Sorrow will be the head of the paper Forever you ́ll be known as the oldest art Forever you ́ll be known as the oldest art I don ́t love you too much these days I don ́t hate myself as I did always And I was the first to get a glimpse of What’s beyond you and your seven deadly sins Well I was the first to get a glimpse of What’s beyond you and your seven deadly sins I don ́t love you too much these days I don ́t hate myself as I did always I did always In all horrible ways I don ́t love you too much these days I don ́t hate myself as I did always I did always

Concealer 02:48
It‘s a cold cold morning and you believe Yesterday‘s a gift another person should receive and now shed a tear with your eyes of forgiveness it‘s not everyone’s but it‘s your business She‘ll never ease your troubled mind that’s a fact and as it‘s lost this feeling won‘t come back Touch me like I never have been touched Tell me that my love ain’t too much Touch me like I never have been touched before you walk away from me I took the fast lane forward and now you’re in need of all the promisses you want me to keep we’re so clever but never speak out loud how we feel it’s so easy to turn away and decide to conceil Touch me like I never have been touched Tell me that my love ain’t too much Touch me like I never have been touched before you walk away from me

Absence 02:22
Honey it scares me The way I look at her Honey it scares me Wish that you needn ́t care And I don ́t believe that I can hide my feelings Honey I ́m vulnerable Hope that we ́re both just dreaming But we ́re just sleeping You said it ́s time for a change I think the message is gettin ́ clearer Now break the law I turn my absence into my fear It ́s gettin ́ outta hand Still wanna be by your side You got me going round the bend touch involves another fight But I don ́t believe that I can hide my feelings Honey I ́m vulnerable hope that we ́re both just dreaming you said it ́s time for a change I think the message ́s gettin ́ clearer Now break the law I turn my absence into my fear

He ́s not sure where he’s at His body bowed down to his bed terrified by what goes by She asked him twice A tear ́s dropping down from his eye she wonders why he didn ́t tell her anything But it goes on and on A cold shiver down his back This old heart needs to be protected This room is filled with silence he ́d like to run for miles and miles and miles But now he ́s stuck here in this hotel room maybe he is quite a bit out of tune But when she said „We ́ll gonna find a way“ How can he be running When he wants her to stay My Failure ́s building up In front of me My Failure ́s building up And I don’t know how to run When I wan ́t her to stay Morrow‘s laughter on his side His whole body feels too uptight and when he‘s seeking some shelter He‘s too shy to tell her tell her why Altoughs these fowers bloom He‘s loosing it all in the month of june But when she said „We ́ll gonna find a way“ How can he be running When he wants her to stay How can I be running When I want her to stay

I Can Be Sad 04:35
With that confusion What can I do And all the darkness That I’ve been through You read my eyes But not my mind You’re reading lies then tell me that I ́m just too blind And now I just can ́t see what you ́ve been trying You blamed it all on me before you tried giving me time And girl I think it is the best to pick the bits you love and let my body rest Forgot about the darker side I found when I picked up a fight I drowned, got paralyzed Dreaming of another paradise I see nothing when I close my eyes Feel something when you’re round my thighs I see nothing when I close my eyes Feel something when you’re round my thighs And now I just can ́t see what you ́ve been trying You blamed it all on me before you tried giving me time And now I just can ́t see what you ́ve been trying You blamed it all on me before you tried giving me time And girl I think it ́s the best to pick the bits you love and let my body rest I can be sad sometimes I have to be

I stand with you but boy better go take a break I stand with you but better slow down before it‘s too late I stand with you but boy better take a break I stand with you but boy better take a break It’s time to say hello to a new and better me It’s time to let it go, let go what was inbetween From the get go I had dreams Could never tell if they were lints Now I‘m talkin to you and I hope that you can get a glimpse And baby baby this world is tough And maybe as far as I can tell you had a little too much of me I stand with you but boy better take a break I stand wirh you but better slow down before it‘s too late I stand with you but boy better take a break I stand with you but boy better take a break Faster and faster Don’t ever use a plaster Don‘t be selfish and miss out on her feels cause when the shits going to be real and then she‘s beggin there please I stand with you but boy better take a break (and you say) I stand wirh you but better slow down before it‘s too late (and you say) I stand with you but boy better take a break I stand with you but boy better take a break
