I’ve spent much time skipping the poetry
trying to talk raw from the heart
kept writing songs out of a moment
though I knew they wouldn’t last
I’ve given less than what I’ve taken
thinking that winning was “to have”
I’ve always had all that I wanted
I don’t know what means “to survive”
I read the news, something had happened
I was too busy to care about
I’m dreaming things I can’t imagine
I wake up too tired to feel sad
And in the kitchen there is nothing
that makes me feel I am alive
I’ve seen the horizon seems further
but I am ready to arrive
I swam across the seven seas
I held my breath, my weight pulled down
I drowned so deep into the ocean
you pulled my hair and took me out
I heard the shot but there was no one
I do not know who’s got to die
I have survived the strength of a hurricane
I was not planned to die so young

From Under The Ground
04:36
|
|
||
This is a song I wrote under the ground
when everything was getting dark
I kept on struggleing in my mind
finding a way just to survive
I had no food to eat no air to breathe
just pictures in my head getting me crazy
think about hell without that burning heat
no, it was freezing cold, isolating...
And this is what I felt when I didn’t want to live
when I gave up myself and let time drive me
the shadows drunk my soul and run away laughing
I didn’t go for them, fate had just come for me
I cried for days but no tear wheeled out of my eyes
I felt it was so long my hair was getting white
I couldn’t say a word that wasn’t tagged as lie
there was no truth, just fear, just pain...
I was afraid.
Because no one can live without sunshine
we all need water to be alive
and our hearts they need a reason
to not give the pumping up
And I am not meant to be lonely
I just need you by my side
I’d give away all my belongings
I don’t need ‘em, they are not mine.

What's Distance?
03:19
|
|
||
Well, of course there’s distance, but what is distance?
that piece of land, the solid ground between my feet
and that great thing that i dream to possess
And it takes some time, but what is time?
the days are long, the years too short,
the countdown ends, you breathe deep air and the it starts again
And there is a hole, a deep dark hole
and if you fall you can’t return
they will eat your soul if you’re not strong but you are, so you don’t fear
And there are those walls, they might dissolve
behind the world is full of color
the darkness is gone, the darkness is gone you’re not trapped anymore
Now you’re free to walk the roads
you know exactly where lays home, there you won’t sleep alone
And now there’s nothing left to fear
all those bad dreams they dissappeared, life’s never been as real as it is here
Here it’s full of people, there’s lots of people
at everytime, in everywhere
but you don’t have to fear my love i’ve never seen you twice
And today where here, where all is real
tomorrow seems another year
and i don’t care how it may feel, no, i don’t even fear
I know we must walk, through different roads
the world is not that big, you know
no matter where you choose to go, I’ll always be this close
And we got the songs, we got the phone
we’ll talk for hours and say no words
we’ll see the storms, the rain, the snow and meet back down the sun
Now we’re free to walk the roads
we know exactly where lays home, there we won’t sleep alone
And now we’ve nothing left to fear
all those bad dreams they dissappeared, life’s never been as real as it is here

I Still Thank You
03:40
|
|

I felt I could do it much better
I felt I could change my own fate
thi was so different from what I expected
so I tried and tried hard to succeed
I was drowning into words of promise
I was drowning just because of me
but in the last minute I realized I could swim
and in the shore I laid down by your feet
and asked you:
Why do you think
that it’s so hard for us to mae it easier?
And why can’t why please
try again or at least forget everything?
I got that picture you took
at the light of the moon
of the bridge reflecting in the water
And I remember singing you
we both feeling so good
and the “green” came back to feed our story
And so we took a train
to cross the land
we became kids
and had some fun
And I knew for sure you were the only
and I still thank you for everything
I was tired of searching for an answer
I was longing to be close to you
I know I was so cruel, but not because of you
I am dumb, as much as I loe you
But I’m glad that we found the solution
that we knew where to put the last piece
there were times I wasn’t sure that we could make it through
and those times made me feel small and blue
and I asked you:
Why do you think
that it’s so hard for us to mae it easier?
And why can’t why please
try again or at least forget everything?
I got that picture you took
of my shadow kissing you
in the green of the grass in the alley
And I remember dancing with you
with all those catchy tunes
in the party we made in the kitchen
We’re going to take a plane
to cross the land
I’m going to cry with him
the “charming man”
And I know for sure you are the only
and I still thank you for everything.

Just In Case
04:47
|
|
||
Please call my name like if you just learned it today
like if you’d never heard of me
like if you knew I don’t exist
And write it down and keep it on a hidden place
and try to water it each day
and let it grow on a bright space
Please choose some words that you would say right in the end
and on and on say them again
‘till you believe in what you say
And write a list of things you missed for being afraid
read ‘em before you go to bed
just to see if you regret
I know the world isn’t going to end today
but just in case...
Please make me know all those things you don’t understand
and all those things I do and you hate
before it is too late to change
And choose a word that no one else will ever guess
give it a meaning that words lack
and keep the secret for your life
Please hold my hand like if you’re falling from the plane
‘cause we’re too high to play such games
I feel like settling down here
And think of space just like the distance in between
‘cause you can’t measure other things
is it too strong or is it weak?
I know this love isn’t going to die today
but just in case...

Where Are The Monsters?
03:22
|
|
||
I tried hard not to look worried but put my fears all on cd
there were people saying “I’m sorry that you are going to stop to live”
And it helped not to be lonely, at least not alone in this
all those people always talking and that fire burning me
But where are the monsters that hide in the shadows
waiting to drown me ‘till I stop to breathe?
And where are those monsters? I heard they would own me
and steal all I love or what means more to me...
I don’t see ‘em coming and I can’t hear anything
It’s just a city name, it don’t mean anything
...at least not to me.
And so we wrote another chapter of the book we’ve got too fill
it’s called “How I Went To War And Never Found An Enemy”
I see us someday looking back laughing at was we used to fear
I see us someday still together, I know we won’t die in here

Things Will End Up Well
02:59

|

My friend I love you and I don’t want to see you down
I’d like to help you out
but I’ve just seen the house fell over you
you say that you’d be happy to forget but it’s
so deep inside your head
you’re live has stopped, you beathe but there’s no air
I know you must be feeling lost, like if you had nowhere to go
and time it seems to go so slow, there’s days that last forever long
there’s thoughts and thoughts that will not stop, you’re head is full of stupid songs
the days are dark, the rain won’t stop for months
I know it’s not my case and I won’t understand
but I know what I say
remember that I lived under the ground
now there’s this words tatooed so deep inside your heart
they say she lied
you have to see if it is worth to live with lies
cause sometimes the best things don’t work, but it don’t mean that they are wrong
the only truth’s that all is false, perfection is a lie at all
and you may have done some things wrong, like wanting her to fit you whole
you have to choose now what is what you want
I know it sucks to think you’ve lost your time like if
this all was just a lie
but now it’s not the time, your mind’s not clear
you’ll have to wait someday there will appear two ways
you’ll choose the one you take
I hope that you’ll be happy and you choose well
believe me when I say that these are things that make you stronger and
believe in everyone that says that things they have to be this way
don’t worry if the sun don’t seem to appear it’s just the way it is
don’t worry if you feel too tired of seeing pictures in your head
believe me when i say that you’ll be able to hug her again
believe it cause someday you’ll see it makes no sense, it’s meaningless
don’t worry if the rain don’t seem to stop it’s just the way it goes
don’t worry if you feel too tired to understand
believe me when I say that things will end up well

The Greenest Green
04:49
|
|

I’m spitting all this words out of my anger
I felt so all alone, I felt so dumb
I’m screaming in the phone this is the last time
I trust in someone who just doesn’t mind
I wish I could just have some friends
some people I could undestand
‘cause this to me is meaningless
I think it’s more about to share
And this life’s killing all my hope
they’re having fun but I am not
and I see it less like a game
it’s the same nightmare, I can’t escape
It takes some time to adapt but it’s been too long
I haven’t seen a door, the lights are all out
I thought this change would end with all my problems
it just made me realize that I am no one
What is it that thing that I did
that is returning back to me?
I can’t remember anything
do you have clues that say it was me?
What if I say that I regret?
Will the moon shine and make me stare?
Or will I read in neon lights
“this is the back door to your life”?
I would just walk through without fear
there’s nothing worse that being here
‘Cause I know you would be behind
saying “don’t be afraid, I heard you crying,
I knew you where going to be cold
so I prepaired a bed for you”
And I know there would a light
that would turn right things green and white
so I can recognize what’s pure:
the greenest green to me and you.

Münster, DE
05:34

I came here all alone
with my guitar and things to wear
the toll said give the sun and take some rain
I tried to talk to people
but I couldn’t understand
i was completely lost for some long days
but didn’t mind
if this was fate
I’d play
so I bought myself a bike and locked it well
and time went by
I learnt some words
and my way home
and the lake started to seem the place to stay
I’m missing home
I’m missing all those things I understand
but I don’t want to leave this place
there’s one too many things I need
I need them all right now
but there’s things I found in here that I don’t want
to leave behind
now I hear chimes from my bedroom
are they never going to stop?
my tongue hurts
why is every food so hot?
the city is now all green
like in the pictures that I saw
I’m starting to like this place more and more
like if I could
spend some more time
in here
‘cause the place I’m heading for is more than dead
and I’ll miss some friends
‘cause some just left
and some will
I guess this is fate again I can’t fight it
I’m missing home
I’m missing all those things I understand
but I don’t want to leave this place
there’s one too many things I need
I need them all right now
but there’s things I found in here that I don’t want
to leave behind

The Black Mountain
02:40

You said that you hated me
I said I loved you even more
I told you to be prepared
‘cause I was picking you up soon
we took the car and went so high
we drove for hours the day passed by
and the we arrived to that cold place
do you remember that fine day?
we saw the island as a whole
from start to end from right to left
we wrote our names and run away
‘cause we were running out of gas
Right before there came the night
I made my mind go real blank
I hugged and you hugged me
and I felt something, I believed
I realized I had my mind
full of dumbs things and stupid lies
I had to clean this mess to find
that you were the only thing what’s right
I saw us both as a whole
a real thing something that grows
we wrote our names and run away
c’ause we were running out of gas
That’s how we cleared the promise made
we came back to the black mountain
remembering those beautty things
so much has changed but we’re still here
there’s things we know we’ll never feel
but in our minds they’ll still be real
there’s places where we don’t belong
but in our hearts they’re still our home
the past just passed and we grew old
but I still can feel you that close
we wrote our names and run away
cause we were running out of gas

Song #49
04:37
|
|
||
I have sung how much I need you
and the way you make me feel
I asked you please not to forget me
in real life or in your dreams
And I said thanks right from the first time
and I keep on saying it
I said that I’d make you feel better
and that sun would shine for you and me
I sang it hurt, I couldn’t reach you
well I just did care about you
I asked you please to hold my hand
‘cause I forgot the parachute
I said don’t say no if you don’t mean it
and just close your eyes with me
I said take me to where you’re going
and that I wished we could spend life like this
I have sung you a million times
and green means love because of you
and if this all doesn’t seem pure I’ll say it clear now:
I live for you
I sang you when I wasn’t living
and right when we found the last piece
and just in case the world was ending
I asked you please to sleep by me
We wrote our names in the black mountain
and we painted it all green
I wrote that song about the boy crying
just for someone he could love in green
I have sung you a million times
and green means love because of you
and if this all doesn’t seem pure I’ll say it clear now:
I live for you

You will never understand me and I won’t try to explain myself. ‘Cause this is more than
fashion games, it’s more like being true to yourself. And you would stop me on the street
and ask “how is that thing that you do? Are you just taking it more seriously? Is people careing
about you? And I would say “it is as serious as it may be for you to breathe, and that
question concerning people, well, you see, I don’t give a shit”. And you would make some
jokes about it and think that’s what I really need. But then I would give you a copy though I
don’t want you to hear. And you would say you loved the record and you would place it on
the shell. Hoping that someday I get famous so you can say you were my friend. You don’t
realize that’s what I hate you for. I don’t need you to smile at me. Don’t need you kindness
or compassion. I just want true real feelings. So you can throw away that CD’s, no, I will
never get that rich. It isn’t you who I am singing to, so it won’t really bother me. You can
forget about my face, I promise that I will do the same. Maybe it’s me who lost the game
but this is now all that I am.
So, goodbye.
