Takeoff

We´re still here
Still so small
Still unborn
I´m still here, survivor
In this world of war
For you
I´m in this for you
Give them hope
Give them faith
And let the lost ones
Feel at home again.
Give them sight
Give them strength
And let their sad hearts
Feel warm again.
And like a rocket I will start up
Toward the sun.
I will fly
And come again
I´ll come again
Stepping out of the shade
Stepping out of the shame.
The sun is coming up
And everybody´s dancing
Dancing again
Spread your arms, lift them up
´Cause the breeze will come:
Turn your eyes up to the stars
The port´s wide open
Leap into your lovers arms
At last the spell is broken
Everyone´s aboard and ready
Company
Finally they´ve come.
Oh, my love
Oh my love.
The breeze has come
Turn your eyes up to the stars
The port´s wide open
Leap into your lovers arms
At last the spell is broken
Everyone´s aboard and ready
Company
Finally they´ve come:
Final takeoff
Final call.

Thank You

Thank you for your warnings
I´m glad my health
is of your concern
And if you think those little pills
might do me harm
Just come on down
Take a right into my mind
Will you still heal me now?
Will you still
tell me that it´s not that bad,
tell me that it´s not that hard
to take?
Will you be
scared like me
And offer me your shoulder
for the night?
You don´t know anything
about the threat
I never quite forgot
At least the taste of c*m
reminded me I´m made
of flesh and blood.
Sometimes I wish that I was born
in times where we still had our grace
and our beliefs in laws of God
and Good
and Grace
Thank you for your patience
Now that friendship´s
been put on trial.
And if you noticed how my
cynicism grows
Maybe it´s time
to read between the lines.
You don´t know anything
about the thoughts
I never meant to have
When only photographs
reminded me of times
I still could laugh.
You don´t know anything
about the void
some people have to face,
so don´t pretend to understand-
just stay right here and hold my hand-
and make me feel
like I belong
Anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere.

BLUE
your dark clouds gather after sunshine
I´m looking up
Waiting for the sky to burst
And pour it down
And I wish I was down
Out in the street
Peeling off this tired face to throw it
With my laughter
Into the rain
Blue I´m like you, I´m the fool
I humbly come to you
Sense my water
Teach me how to live like you do
Like you do
Blue
I can stand right at your sea
And watch you cast a shadow upon this raging ocean
It´s washing right into my blood
And as I stand alongside your screaming shore
I lift up my hands to throw
My heart
Into your flood
Blue, I´m your neighbor, I´m your friend,
I´m sane, I´m back, I´m worthy again
My feet they know your rocks
And every inch of your seam
I fall in...
Blue, you´re here, I love you so
My first love and sound of my heartbeat
And your eternity, your sins
They´re like a mother and a father to me
Blue
When I hear dripping rain
I wish my window would burst to let you in
Massive waves invade my living room
To pull me under you
I´m your lighthouse, I stand
Forever on your shore
Stretched out ´till my head could touch the sky
(My forehead)
Nesting birds in my hands
Outstretched towards the sun again
I see
And lightning strikes in every finger
And we´re one

Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Knospen sprangen,
Da ist in meinem Herzen
Die Liebe aufgegangen.
Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Vögel sangen,
Da hab’ ich ihr gestanden
Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.
(Heinrich Heine)
In the wondrous month of May,
When all the buds burst into bloom,
Then it was that in my heart
Love began to burgeon.
In the wondrous month of May,
When all the birds were singing,
Then it was I confessed to her
My longing and desire.
(Translations by Richard Stokes)

Grateful

All those twisted years
I hate to talk about
Don´t ask me for it
All those twisted thoughts
Something went so wrong.
And it still can hurt, so
I would just be grateful if you tried
To stay another night
As my lover
I would just be grateful if you tried
To understand me right
And give me cover.
All those stupid tricks
To try and cool me down
But you see I´m still burning.
And sometimes I wake up
To find phantoms all around
And when I think they´re here to get me-
I would just be grateful if you tried
To make them go away
Like mother used to.
I would just be grateful if you tried
Pretending that we´re safe
Like mother used to.

From The Cold
04:58
|
|||
|
Hope hurts
The hurt
I found you there between things
Lost you
Somewhere deep withing
Let´s comfort that tiny heart
With a glimpse
I took your hand
Someone
Someone out there
Take us back up to earth
We´re stuck inside
Something that wants to pour out
Always out,
Always one step ahead,
As you watch yourself
Become a lie
We´ve come a long way
From the cold
Open the window
I feel the wind
I feel the ghost of the departed
Climbing in
Rip out the clockwork
Release the pain
We´ve come a long way from the cold
And the insane
But that case is now closed
And the abyss has vanished
Oh, the body that froze
The ghouls and the ghosts
It´s all under control now,
Major,
I feel the walls
They´re getting thin
Maybe an angel pulled me out
Of where I´d been
The leap´s still in my flesh
And silent questions in my bones
Reach up to
Wherever this goes.
One man
Rises up further
To pull it out your heart
Thorns in the sides
Of songs you used to sing,
Oh, and they´re heavy like a rock
Like that rock inside you
Heavy like the sky
That they denied you
And for many years
You looked out of the eyes
Of someone far too old
We´ve come a long way from the cold.

Dinosaur Shape

Adding up
What´s left of your soul
Trying to let
Some other source speak
So afraid
You might end up on the floor again
So afraid
You´ll end up not having tried again
Pick up your cards
And go out where they sell their souls in the street
Strengthen up
Don´t let them polish up their pride on you
Strengthen up
And learn to speak with all that rhymes for you
And when they go out to sea
Come on, find your bones in the sand
And when they set out, they set out to the ocean
You carve your liver out of ice
Pick up your bones
And rearrange them
In a Dinosaur Shape
