BREATHE
this is the ocean
you are a storm
eager to fight
well able to harm
love is a boat
relentlessy thrown
on cliff-starring shorelines
wood, sand and stone
trapped in the rigging
afraid to be drowned
hope turns to sorrow
smile turns to frown
this is forever
the end of all days
the roughest of weathers
the clearest of ways
i´m more than aware
i´m more than aware
this ship is going down
time is a giving companion you´ll see
your wounds will heal if you move carefully
one day you´ll find all your calmness restored
breathe easy

GLOW
it´s getting dark
i am crossing the sea
shaken up by
what you did to me
there is a glow in the water
you were wrong
jumping in
it is all forgiven
i feel ease
as tail fins glisten
all your well-woven spells
they come undone
meet me underwater
at last i´m giving way
this is a place that suits me
and i´ll stay here come what may
for each and every day i´ve given
i find a lantern set alight
that`s a hundred little stars lit
and the night just seems so bright
that dirt
i wash it off
your smell
i wash it off
fears
i wash them off
tears
i wash them off
all your lies
i wash them off
all my lies
i wash them off
solitude
is what i seek
promises
that i can keep

Here With You

HERE WITH YOU
i travel through an otherworld
bizarre
yet never seen
i travel with one old ally
a little submarine
strange is what i came here for
beauty all i find
this place delights my very heart
and elevates my troubled mind
despite it holding life and death
this place is filled with peace
calmness reaching far and deep
i can feel it underneath
what love brings this to life
who leads this vivid dance
how can i participate
can i try by any chance
must i ever leave your world
please say it isn´t so
i´ll build a home inside a seashell
i don´t want to go
can i stay here with you and make myself at home
for ages i have been traveling, wandering all alone
it´s been so long since i have truly felt at home
for ages i have been traveling, wandering all alone
no men reigning in its lands
none walking on its ways
its gardens all remain unspoiled
forever to amaze
who am i to claim a place
in the yard these beings host
and i fear it´s not a lack of gills
that rules me out the most

I Don´t Owe You a Thing

I DON´T OWE YOU A THING
i´ve been stuck in this hole for too long
i got to get out
maybe i should reconsider before
i dare say this loud
but you have shown enough now
how much you have become
so keen on fighting for the fucking sake of it
inspite of all that i´ve done
now i can see the truth
call it for what it is
hear me when i say
i tried so hard
but i can´t go any further
i´ve come to feel that it was one time too many
you tore apart and you broke
you don´t seem to care and i feel so very tired
to revive what you choke
i don´t owe you a thing
i will not hold on to you
how could i still trust your heart
and not play safe where it´s due

Into the Wild

INTO THE WILD
she cares for you
her everflowing love is true
rooting deep the trust upheld
her people of the emerald
her moon evokes euphoria
oh shelter
green utopia
arms opened wide she holds you sweet
her moss will comfort tired feet
blend in with the jade wifes
taste water from the pouring life
meet my mellow giantess
coalesce around in loftiness
fall out of time
rivive in space
gazing at her gorgeous face
the dewy air cleans up and heals
those walking through the rolling hills
something so beautiful
i treasure the joy of your embrace
something so pure
my grace
i glory in walking this perfect place
i don´t want to go

Where You Lead

WHERE YOU LEAD
you surely love
like i thought you could
one perfect reason to
cease the hunt for good
to obey the worlds
colorless array
dip into quicksand honey
just to make you stay
there is years to waste
and moral put to shame
i will devote my all
you bet i´ll be game
there is so much at stake
and thus i better chose
the right light to merge in honey
to burn up for that love
where you lead
is not where i want to go
where you lead
is not where i want to go
i need you to just
approve of the way i live
you need something i
will always fail to give
once you embodied warmth
and i would want to stay
now i see you out there
riding with the grey
i want it pure
i can´t cope with the track
you keep putting me on
i want it pure
i want the magic to work
and my fortune to show

Good Morning

GOOD MORNING
i´m standing at bow
all i care about is
sun and wind and salt
i make up with myself
the sea is a sapphire
a shiny emerald
she is spraying water up into the air
and i get to think of
how lovely it would be
to share her little something
soft sky blue above
come taste the early morning
oh this was made for you
let go of your sorrow
this boat has room for two
standing at bow
lovely little pirate
sipping, pouring rum
tasting salty skin
ending up all naked
yes i own a gun
come taste the early morning
oh i was made for you
let go of your sorrow
this boat has room for two

LAKESIDE QUEEN
a goddess is walking the earth
she is so fine
she holds delicate features
and thin graceful lines
her bloom leaves you praying
remember this day
to blessing or curse
she´s the one you´ll obey
i want to make her mine
feel her soft fingertips
i want to touch her hair
kiss her nose then her lips
trace her perfect form
from her neck down her chest
then be inside of her
i want to make her mine

The Riddle

THE RIDDLE
it´s a riddle
so hard to understand
i lose it
then get it back again
i want it
i´ve always held it dear
it´s gonna tell me
what they want to hear
some hurt it
abuse its fragile shape
some stroke it
and hope it´s not too late
if i hold it
it should be good to me
it´s gonna show me
what they want to see
i wanna know
what it has in store
for you and i
for us tonight
are we gonna sing out of tune
and part all too soon
or lead the dance
and kiss through the night
we are in for surprises
and true magic is rare
but i want you
just bring whatever you can
i´m standing right here
and i want you
it´s a riddle
it makes you say my name
or leave me standing
struck and put to shame
oh i need it
i will hold it dear
it´s gonna tell me
what you want to hear
it´s a riddle
and i need you to solve it
are you in dear
say that you are i feel it
i can please you
if you want me to
just come along dear
what are you into?

Ash Dust & Bone

ASH DUST & BONE
black-eyed
bring out the best in me
then set it on fire
burn it
to ash, dust and bone
leave it stuck in the mire
black eyes
never make for a pretty face
you should know
what´s taking all the pain away
is this one and every insight
into how far you´re capable of sinking
burn to ash and dust and bone
