SAFE

everything …
everything breaks
in both body and mind
i found being lost
is a sound place to be
there is no intent
just possibility realized
have you ever been this lost
have you ever known such grace
have you ever been this safe
you just walk away
from anything (anything, anything, anything)
don’t you find being lost
is a good place to be
feeling what you say here
won’t offend me
have you ever been this lost
have you ever known such grace
have you ever been this safe
getting lost with you
is like being lost with me
boundaries break
and bridges burn
have you ever been this safe
have you ever been this safe
have you ever been this safe
have you ever been this safe
have you ever been this safe
have you ever been this safe
have you ever been this safe
have you ever been this safe
have you ever

trembling obedience
sultry and grimed
we try
candid devotion
in this black heat
we die
brush, subtle traces
the unexpected
stroke by stroke
created memories
created in flesh
one by one
sweetest plague
resistance grows hard
in this, the newly bought and broken
the hellish gray fades
one thousand and second coming
i’ll forget everything
lovers vow to die
in white hot unison
naked, insatiable beauty
doomed only to bliss
like a novel, badly translated
shifting in shackles and lace
these created memories
created in flesh
one by one
dieses Lied täuscht vor ein Traum zu sein
biss er wirklich wird
und alles andere wird Bedeutungslos

My madness is insomnia tonight
Rituals don’t matter
They just fuel the fight
Your sleep never fails to mock me
Close your eyes – and you’re gone
I’m crazy, alone.
Where the hell is it you go?
Your dreams can take you
Can take you anywhere
Insomnia takes me
Leads me everywhere I go
(Insomnia takes me)
Crippled fantasies of blind nothingness
Caress me, hold me, tie me down
Oh fuck, don’t you love it
Each mistake returns to haunt me
Everything I might have done
As obsessions explode
There is one place I can’t go
Your dreams can take you
Can take you anywhere
Insomnia takes me
Leads me everywhere I go
As daylight swells with hunger
Darkside turns into smoke
As daylight swells …

SELFISH

Give me what I want
and when I please.
Fuck you for mentioning
that I say my w's like v's.
I just want a triple shot.
And I want you on your knees.
Get on your knees.
I read my news out loud,
don't care what you do.
Play these 5 chords for hours
-when did you leave the room?
Won't take that call past 8
and probably not before.
To hell with all this othering,
don't want it anymore
I'll stay awake and tak and take (and take)
until I crash and burn.
You'll whisper something
... I won't hear
I just want you naked now,
so close your eyes and listen to me,
listen to me
I'll take you where and how
and when and as I please .
And know there's no one except for you
more selfish than me.

SIGH

This is what you'll get
She sighs
It’s not a great prize
I lived a thousand lives
She sighs
And died a thousand times
Ha, there must be a final page
somewhere
killings come so fast These days
The faultlines in my heart
Always
Your fingertips bruise
I never wanted this
She sighs
So now you will teach me
You found this gypsygirl
She sighs
Dancing into the fire
She sighs when I come
And she sighs when I go
I win this insight
As her hands are tied
This is what you'll get
She sighs
It’s not a great prize
We can live a thousand lives
She sighs
And die a thousand times
I sigh when she come
And she sighs when I go
Sequestered
Into silence we fall

SHATTERED
03:41
|
|

it was a white knuckled night
try as we did our eloquence failed
trailing a day of uncertainty
into a night of eternity
so we dragged in the words
that had never belonged here
but were intended for other times
used to be yours, used to be mine
hard-ass, brass-knuckled words
ones that never belonged here
from other places, other heads
our other spaces, other beds
and we threw them around
like children with power tools
stupid words, we're stupid fools
we heard a bulletproof bubble
shatter

(At the mercy ... inside my heart)
At the mercy of the cold world
And silence lived inside my heart
Killing time where there's some to spare
Just as if you were never there
My fingers twitch finding only air
Killing time where there's some to spare
(dot, dot, dot)
As you, I'll take the hurt
Metallic taste of broken time
It never breaks, just begs for more
Suspends believe on wings of steel
Killing time where there's some more to spare
Just as if you were never here
And I'll live as if I never dared
Killing time where there's some more to spare
A skin of trust this bubble builds
Expanding ocean burns
See the weeds between these tracks
Travel across time just to get back
We create this slanted axis
and the spine is build on waves
Stet this
You were never gone

STILL
04:46

Let me still that hunger
Let me turn down that heat
Let me drown this room in silence
Let me drift of with you
Let me in, let me stay
Over and over again
Over and over again
Let me keep those eyes open wide
Be still now and let me keep this time
This time
Then let me slip a bit of reason in
Calm the panic that you know
Whisper that word you need to hear
Let my sunday hand slide
Let me breathe all this in
Over and over again
Over and over again
Let me keep that heart on a beat
Just let me keep this time standing still
Let me keep these eyes open wide
Be still now and let me keep this time

You don’t make me happy and you are not
One of my 752 closest friends
Who would see me say, “let’s get a drink” (again)
You are not and you don’t
You don’t make me happy
You just let me
be
You don’t make me complete and you will not
Right now, later or at another, distant time
Hear me thank you for changing what was mine
You will not and you don’t
You don’t make me happy
You just let me
be
