Unspoken 03:53
Unspoken Unspoken left unsaid Think about it till it confidently rests Speak it freely shout it loud if you need to point the finger and place the blame Time to scatter Time to mend the broken pieces of your self Time for grieving or celebrate But you can’t forgive what you can’t forget Last to notice first to speak Well, you know there is a moment for everything Fool your ears close your eyes Those who laugh last will get to laugh twice Send for ravens Ask the crowd Sooner or later all tables turn ‘round To accuse is your privilege but the one to fall may be your head So leave it unspoken and unsaid Think about it till it confidently rests ‘cause the revenge that dwells in silence is your friend

Alice in Nighttown Berlin seems the right place to raise my head I listen to the sound of quiet riots on the loose It suddenly yawns on me this won’t be a sunny day The pleasure’s gone But Mercury’s up and ready for the cruise I keep travelling all around the world Stopping just for changing horses every now and then Ready-made and full prêt-à-porter I take my clothes off and I pass out on a different bed each night I climb upstage and smoke my cigarette The flashes blind me but I muster the courage for the cruise The barrage floods my senses once again The images will mark the part we’ll leave out of the bruise The world’s revolving all around my head There’s still no spark to set the horses Running up the heights The forest hides the greenest of the trees But lights the path that leads straight into Nighttown’s neon lights Blame New York Blame Shanghai Blame the mirrors And blame the fly There’s nothing wrong in Shaking hands sometimes Drop the needle Drop the pikes Contradictions make good bed allies But nome of them will take you home tonight Hope to make it Hope to last Hope to reach far enough on time Hope daddy’s gonna pay for my crashed car So kiss me baby And kiss me fast ‘Cause our love won’t make it past the night Hope our kisses don’t leave you no scars Girl, don’t let the bastards grind you down They will not only tread on you but Put their foot in your mouth There’s no side effects for the medicine So take the pill and shake the whole foundations of the crowd So blame New York Blame Shanghai There’s nothing wrong in Shaking hands sometimes Drop the needle Drop the pikes No contradictions will take you home tonight Hope to make it Hope to last Hope daddy’s gonna pay for my crashed car anyway So kiss me baby Yeah, kiss me baby ‘Cause maybe our love won’t make it past the night

Gravity 05:10
Gravity Can’t you see the knives flying? Can’t you hear them tear the air? They were shot by some smile With consequences ecerywhere The lift’s stuck up in mid-floors Doors are open And when I come to senses Rope breaks, cabin comes alive And I’m unlocked And I’m unstuck From gravity And humanity I’m pulled up I’m blown away Out in a dream The avenue’s all packed up And still nobody’s touching me The flood avoids my space So nonchalantly I stand still Both my feet on one tile And when I come to senses The tile takes off still bearing me There’s static in my eyesight When trying to seize reality And the image trembles Comes and goes, unfocusing I collect my questions, and answer none So when I come to senses The radio waves sorround me Now I’m unlocked from gravity And I’m unstuck from humanity I’m pulled up and blown away out in a dream

Healing hands Almost but not near in sight Let fall the pieces by the tableside A game, a bridging rule Up to the place where pieces no longer mind How I wish it was true Sit down, look into my eyes There’s no chance or time for you to build a lie Stand up! Take your clothes off! All this damaging will not be ending right It’s all in my healing hands Don’t cry, be a good girl, And rest your sleepy eyes on the couch It’s not so hard to get a breath of smoke While being chained to the ground You used to be so beautiful Now you’re so hard to see So pristine, so clear to me Now it all bursts by the seams And I’m not gonna bend at all In front of you, my dear, ‘Cause everyone will hear me When I go out and scream!! It’s all in my healing hands How I wish it was true that you needed me All this steps I’m taking unconsciously Even if you said I wouldn’t reach There’s no room for both of us in here It’s all in my healing hands I’ll spread healing across the land You can breath now It's overunderstood

In your house Upside down and pushed against the ground Walking forwards anyways but not safe nor sound With a lifeline torn in pieces in my hand And a vision of deserved reward allowed Singing songs too sweet and wild again You were precious once but now you're thorned and stained In a flying wreck along a crowded path We keep trying to bridge the gaps across the way It's morning when we find some time to talk And you tell me all those things you can't unlock You reach out a hand and ask me for a truce But you just want some time to tie the noose I won't be coming home today My oldest pains won't find allay My legs support no more the burdens of a drying life Without a decent name We're not an empty slot And we're not each other's own And we won't bedrift again And won't benefit again Of each other's company Or each other's craving needs Abandon me, willingness Away all coincidence Save me from the bare childness You hide under that fair dress All our books have been depaged No more I'll hesitate No more I'll hesitate If i’m not coming home today Don’t you dare think i’ve gone astray It’s just i realised there’s nothing there to light my nights And wake through the day We're not an empty slot And we're not each other's own And we won't bedrift again And won't benefit again Of each other's company Or each other's craving needs Just know that no more I will hesitate

Chère Juliette I’m still awake after days cut a-drift on my own You’re still in here ‘cause somehow I can’t stand being alone Seems it’s going nowhere All I do is just stare Day and night I wait for a sign, Juliette Nothing at all breaks the silence in this old tin town Not since the card castle fell card by card on the ground I still remember your dress, shoes and white wedding gown Seems all this time we were making a stupid countdown Lost along the way Broken, beat and spared Sore and unprepared to go on, Juliette I can’t believe all the years we have thrown through the drain Mine was the hand but, somehow, yours is the blame Where has this love gone? Where has this time gone? Where has this love gone? Oh, wake up, my love I just can’t go on Oh, what have I done? With love, Romeo

Judas 03:36
Judas Once upon a time we dressed so fine and smelled so good We smoked our long thick cigarettes and drank our fines booze We raised an eyebrow now and again and smiled our secret smile And everything was set for the cruise Judas hears the call he’s waiting for though he don’t know The sea of arms is praising, their foreheads on the floor A blink, a wink, a loving kiss out of a swirling string But Judas never picks up the phone What are you crying for, babe? What are you crying for, babe? You had it coming when Took option for the night When I recall some were cut before What are you crying for, babe? Smoke before his eyes to tell the truth without the ties The mask reveals the man and then the man gets thrown aside Courage’s built on question as poetry’s on rhye And Judas is the master of the eye The poet sat on his watch so he could be on time To sing about the government, the tombstones and the lies A frome for broken pictures turns to neon city lights The poet just shakes his head and sighs What are you crying for babe? All this handwriting carving into ancient walls Shakes every tree root to grow new branches in fall These are the weakest days These are the greatest days What are you crying for, babe? What are you crying for, babe? What were you thinking when Took option for the night When I recall some were cut before What are you crying for, babe?

Glass house in a tree You’ve been living in a glass house up in a tree Among the lowest branches where the sun won’t reach In between the greenest leaves where you can be seen But untouched by all tha bastards trying to wreck your speech You seem not afraid of anything up here Being surrounded by a halo of tranquility All you hear is just the sound of your herd of sheep All you see is just the rubble beneath your feet All singing Drain the big fish! Through your fingers run the money rivers of this dirty land And you’re pretty damn sure no one’s gonna build a dam ‘Cause there’s always this tiny mantra on everybody’s mind The grass is always greedier on the other side

Lady's eyes 05:38
Lady’s eyes “A light up in the sky” she said A question here on Earth, if anything We try and try, recurring dreams Of handtied individuals off the grid Just discard the other option, quit the job Grab them reigns and hold them tight Against your own Faith is just a hole you dig inside your soul Lady’s eyes spoke to my eyes like none before A myriad colour clothing, A flashy, sparky surface rolling in A passing perfect lightning Shining, strolling, calling for nightly sin A reason to quit breathing in, A reason to breath out maturity Just out of curiosity... How long has she been walking off the grid? All the vultures and the thieves hung on her back Have been draining on those blood lines she now lacks And keep her walking unsurmounted off the charts Lady’s lies will fool no one but herself Lady’s pleasures turn to lessons in her face but Lady’s books are getting stuck upon the shelf She asks for everything you lost She asks without expecting a reply The books and clocks I learnt upon Are now the family jewels meant to survive On the surface of the rock is where we crawl With our children waiting for their time to grow Like the seeds in our hands waiting to be sown Lady’s hand tries reaching out noe that I’m gone Lady’s voice still speaks to me beyond the phone But all this time we always knew we were but ghosts...

The wait A waterfall frozen in mid-air, fishes travel beneath my skin, drawing circles, leading nowhere A broke-down car on the highway, a thirst for some precious gasoline, a burst of grass on stone landscape An ironic pain in my empty chest A stupid loss in the safest bet A sarcastic laughter on anxiety Even when you know bells won’t ring for me I’m not working on it, and I won’t indeed! I got chills on my toenails Been dodging curveballs all through the week Timeless, restless and downhill Pushed and pulled over everything The storm keeps raging all over me And I’m showing everyone else my teeth And i salivate at the very thought While my trembling hands get all sore and torn Just a single touch, just a gentle sip Just a surface scratch, just a hole to peep I’m not working on it and I never will I can’t hold it much longer The question burns and my fingers bleed I can’t wait till it’s over A search for wisdom and knowledge A quest for something I can’t fullfill With the ordinary It’s a concrete crown when i raise my head It’s an empty death on my hunger bed It’s a flashing light in my vacant place Lighting what i lack and I’ll fill up someday I CAN'T STAND THE WAIT!!
