Adolescence Aftermath

take me with you
lead me to the water
teach me how to drink from that stream
adolescence aftermath
Dear team i fucked up
and I am aware of that
I am a mess without age
i deliberately miss the last train
so can I walk home and sing 90's tunes
I'd rather stay home and read some Bukowski
and rejoice over the certainty that
I never treat anyone like that
just take me with you
lead me to the water
teach me how to drink from the stream
you grow up, you grow out you die
i bight my tongue
and If happiness won't find me tonight
I'd always find it in being all cynical
I keep having the same conversations
my dreams are dinosaurs
I feel old because the bands
on most of my shirts
already split up
same old satan
just take me with you
I trade my youth
lead me to the water
and teach me how to drink from that stream
you grow up, you grow out
you grow up, you grow out, you die

Everybody's leaving, it's inevitable
it might not end as planned
timelines and goodbyes
leave a note when you get there, will you?
entrances and exits
get well, fare well
the memories they crush me
like an avalanche
I swear i didn't saw it coming
and now i blame myself for all the words left unspoken
a light relief
a little death, a little victory
a little death
that got a hold on me
a little victory
let's shake this off
i hope everything didn't change after all of this
but why do i feel safe knowing the worst is yet to come?
a lesson learned:
"death has to be the key to life"
but i prefer to have you right here on this side
I drove all night
to be there in the morning
Thank god it's over
you still look tired you have empty eyes
but i caught a glimpse of a smile
the smoke, the furnace, the sun
slow storms are raging on
The very first time in crisis like this
is that the turning point where I cascade?
and salute the adolescence aftermath
i hope everything didn't change after all of this
and why do i feel safe knowing the worst is yet to come
a lesson learned:
"death has to be the key to life"
(at least my adolescent life)
but i prefer to have you right here on this side

Dead inside 23, everyone loves me
Who would have thought that someday i'd play the catcher
Holden would be proud
I know how you feel i've already been there, more than once
I can't safe myself but I can safe you
dear, are you with me now say, are you with?
You locked yourself in your room there's someone crying next door
you did not intent to hurt anyone and a plea:
tomorrow it'll be all fine
now get up, sneak out now
run run run but not to far
call some friends, buy some booze
spin some records maybe american football
or spare it for your first heartbreak
have you been in love yet? brace yourself!
Dead Inside 23, everyone loves me
get up, sneak out run run run but not to far
call some friends, buy some booze
spin some records maybe some Jason Molina
or just buy the bad advice:
it's always a good idea to stay home, so stay home
Dead Inside 23, everyone loves me
with all the things that cloud our heads
we seems so pathetic and so desperate and lost
but you're not a lost cause
and we're not that dead inside
We are DEAD INSIDE

Love Of The Gaps

I Know it's safe to say:
"I don't belong here"
my escape
this is not a another song about affective disposition
this is a song about how I cherish your company
but your friends scare the shit out of me
when they act like they know me
and so i left without saying goodbye
kiss, goodnight
and i'm floating down the streets
slightly drunk on my bike
through the summer rain
passing ghosts and chasing lights
time and space
trails of colours in the dark
Thoughts rallying, racing
deep in thought
back in time
and i'm floating down the streets
slightly drunk on my bike
through the summer rain
passing ghosts and chasing lights
time and space
trails of colours in the dark
thoughts rallying, racing
I promised myself not to cease day with elegies about love
here come the clouds, the storm, the snow, the sleet
the decisions we make
the recession we're in
swallows us whole
and you are standing right next to me with porcelain skin saying:
"I knew you better last summer.
I knew you better when you were not around"
you get weary, when you are distant
and I know it is all my fault
Your taste is all I ever knew and all i ever need
all the traits i hated are full of grace when u cry
If i take you out, would you let me in?
you are everywhere but not where you need to be
probably not what i deserve but what i need

the summer ends here
in these walls everything else in the world disappears
and these are the last hours
in these walls everything else in the world disappears
towering the city with a drink and friend in hand
in these walls i feel safe, i feel safe
and by the time we figured out what build here
what we had for all the years
it'll be gone and what's left are the films
from your pentax and polaroids
We kill time, we dance like we used to.
We catch up, we make out, we howl at the moon
This city, these walls
the nights that we forgot with life on pause
towering the city with a drink and friend in hand
you draw my lifeline with a steady hand
and i just want to stay right here
make this moment last forever
utill we fall asleep on the sticky kitchen floor
We are towering the city with drinks and friends in our hands
time flies, red eyes
this place is pure bliss
We draw heartlines and meet again someday
In these walls everything else in the world disappears

Embassy
05:53

Look at the mess you made
another night i dreamed i jumped from pier
right into your arms
the darkest red and a lack of sleep
you are the atmosphere, surrounding me
you're a scent
i can't touch you but inhale, but inhale
You're my embassy in a country far away from me
but i know that you'd be there for me for me
I can get no sleep
it's killing me slowly
all the sentiments I'm desperate to share
lump in my throat
they got me choking
like "i miss you"
and "I need you"
and how you always calm the storms
with your body & soul
Now you're my Embassy in a country far away from me
but i know that you'd be there
Oh dear be my Embassy in that country far away from me
i know that you'd be there
ten month are an awful lot
in huge beds, in cold beds an empty beds
i wish i could pick up from London
we take a coach to the west
right to where i stand now
and the sun, the sea, the sun
Like an Indian Summer in Westward HO, Indian Summer, oh
I need that Indian Summer in Westward HO, Indian Summer,
Be my Indian Summer in Westward HO, Indian Summer,
I need that Indian Summer in Westward HO, Indian Summer,
An Indian Summer in Westward HO

Sleep

The creatures under our beds
The ghosts lurking in the darkness
whispering words into our ears
stories about fortune, lust and horror
my mind, it should be all mine
just shut down, please shut down
the world can wait
