INTRO 01:09
2.
The eyes fixed on the ceiling I can almost hear the necks cracking When history rhymes with beauty Everything is either colorful or shiny A billion footsteps won’t wash it away So close but so far at the same time A billion people walking the same way From the ridiculous, never to the sublime My body makes a fine floor My body makes a fine floor for droplets It’s never enough But I don’t have anything left to give
3.
FADING AWAY 04:06
There’s this face that I wear To cover the fact I’m not scared But it’s slowly fading away I can feel it tearing me apart Just waiting to have my back against the wall With no choices left but to give in Embracing the fact that I hate myself And yet here I am It’s crushing me inside And it’s just different in the same way
4.
Don’t follow me I’m as lost as you think you are Fake confidence Until I believe it Sitting on the fence Until when? Sitting on the fence Until the wind starts blowing Waiting gets me nowhere at all Waiting gets me nowhere But I’ve packed my bags In case nothing happens Help me Help me overcome The fear The fear of making bad decisions
5.
MOVING ZONE 04:40
From one extreme to another The balance is broken Appearances are misleading Anxiety’s on my doorstep Since the day I was born Waiting to hit me When I least expect it Emotions aren’t frozen Self-esteem’s unstable
6.
The art of watchmaking at its finest In a place where time has stopped But the clock is still ticking Smells of liquorice and violet A wood-fired oven in each room Filled watering cans Dusty wine bottles An empty club chair Crumpled and worn out clothes A broken window into the past Just tell me how to fix it I’ve always found dried flowers reassuring Unlike humans They’ll last forever
7.
You feel like getting a club membership I know you’ll put the odds in your favour Strong enough to keep a tight grip But wasting time also gives failure its flavour I am currently watching a bad play Trapped in a locked theatre But at least we are sitting side by side Songs that can’t be sung Over and over And dances that can’t be danced Over and over Jokes that won’t make you laugh Over and over And stories about strangers Over and over
8.
Cold forests everywhere Beautiful shelters during summer Wild animals are running freely At least the ones the hunters didn’t shoot down Memories don’t die that easily Unlike troubles, they can’t be drowned I don’t wanna go back The same mayors are in office for ages The king stays if you don’t play chess The king stays if you don’t play chess
9.
I AM NOTHING 03:51
I’m still looking for a reason For the world to make no sense at all Nothing more than flesh, bones and warmth to be felt It’s a relief to know this doesn’t mean anything As I walk to the shore And facing the sea Feeling the air on my skin There are no more doubts And as I scream “I am nothing”
10.
THE OCEAN 04:19
There’s an ocean Stretching between Me and myself (between) Me and everyone else It’s getting to me Not to see the shore on the other side And sometimes I just give up Trying to swim across the line Cause I’m only slowly drowning far away From the ones that I love From the ghost of myself The bonds go thinner My words are growing colder As I wake up, before the rising sun The water devours everything Turning the world into a dark and cold place And they’re dancing on the other side And I fear I’ll get swallowed
11.
Always controlling my emotions Forever hiding my feelings I’ve already crossed hundreds of oceans Freediving, underwater swimming But if I hold you in my arms It’s because I want to be in yours A selfish need for rest After a lifelong failed test If unexpressed feelings are buried alive What about the “better left unsaid words”? Between silence and a deafening noise We all have’ to’ strike a balance
12.
Over, my shirt is oversized But I’m not afraid, I’ll walk in your light Summer, you’ll summarize my book And the cover will be a photograph you took I swear, I’ll always be around You’re the only one who‘s never let me down In a kingdom by the sea Now that I can see clearly There’s an Annabel Lee That nobody will ever take away from me There’s not a single cloud in the sky Maybe for once the angels (they) are happy in heaven They do not envy us Even if our hearts will stop beating They do not care about us And we make sure it stays that way
13.
Twenty-four hours a day And it starts all over again Monday to friday, 9am to 6pm I’ve never missed the tram n°10 Hungry and exhausted Everyone goes home silently But yesterday, I saw an old man Carrying a suitcase and a folding cot He’s here again and seems very tired But I admire that grey-haired traveler How did he overcome boredom and routine? Twice my age, twice as much courage I always sleep in the same bed But I also always have the same dream The day after, I followed the solo traveler He got off the tram and walked to the hospital Each day, he was looking after his wife She will be gone soon and he knows it They have never been separated Unable to sleep if one of them’s missing Wherever she has to sleep is his home He just needs a suitcase and a folding cot He just needs a suitcase and a folding cot
