Black Roses & Hats
03:20
|

Black roses and hats, they can put you down
You think I am mad because I threw away everything I had
I miss you so bad that I feel like crying
When I surrender to that night raining so hard you know I feel like dying
And all the things that I screwed up will return to me in a brand new dress
I will keep them in a drawer by a mirror just in case I should forget my face
I know you bleed cause I’m lying
Black roses and hats, yes I let you down
And although I feel so sorry I couldn’t keep my feet on the ground
I know it sounds bad, but there’s a brand new one
And your heart is still bleeding down there in pieces on my old car mat
And the deep black hole we’ve been sitting in spins around our secret fears
But as a poet said, was better splitting than never have met
Black roses and hats are on a shelf now
Like the picture of your eyes when you pierced my soul in a way I will not forget
And all the things that I screwed up have returned to me and I love that dress
But the size is not mine anymore because I started wearing other clothes

You Never Know
04:37

Her job was filling glasses
Mine was getting them all empty
She was heavy like a mountain
Challenge brought me out of goal
How could I know that from a toilet could come a rose? You never know
Her name was happiness and I brought her by my side
By crawling on her kitchen floor before I made her mine
She was the Ice Queen and I was the Italian Rose, you never know
And then she took my emptiness and filled that with her wine
My soul was drunk my brain was gone and I left my home behind
I had the best times of my life I’m pretty sure, but you never know
We had our days in Prague getting cheap things and a cab
Our kisses melted mountains while the future strayed ahead
There was no way we could repeat that now I know, but you never know
Twelve cities then six countries now shivers down my spine
For how great the sea can be I have room for worlds in mine
I lived ten thousands lives and many more you’ll never know
Then loneliness and solitude she’s waving like a flag
The romantic side of silence’ shouting loud my ears of lame
Now she keeps me waiting like sand does on the shore, and you’ll never know

Freaking Out
03:08
|
|||
Sometimes I say too many words
While I was just supposed to speechless speak loud
Sometimes I fear too many fears
Instead of trusting myself while I drown
I’m wondering how you got so inside of me
Special drop of blood which scraps my cells
The new borns healing thrive
And it’s a fight against myself to understand the reasons why
I’m freaking out
Yes I’m freaking out
I’m freaking out for love
And it bends the pride while I play my dice trying your heart, that’s no home
We have too many ears,
with one the world would sound much clearer
Or at least we could junk a bad half out
Little drop of blood which scraps my cells
The new borns healing thrive
It becomes a fight against myself to understand the reasons why
I’m freaking out
Yes I’m freaking out
I’m freaking out for love
Though it bends the pride I’ll pay my dice trying Susie’s heart that’s no home

Shadow of a Rose
06:24

Life means more than a deal with her
I know some things you could misunderstand
And there’s no one you can blame on
Life, you wish it all depends on you
You’re always looking for somebody or some where and you wish it all depends on you
You’re always looking for someone or something all the ways
You can wait for your own moment but you could burst out into flames
And now she’s missing her gun
(I am on my way)
The eagle nest is empty dreams like falling water drift away
(But they’re still floating around)
No one can run and win the race for you, no no no no!
Mama I’ve been waiting all my days
And mama I don’t wanna wait
Mama I’ve begging on my knees
And mama I don’t wanna pray
‘cause I could wait for my own moment but I could burst out into flames
My fairy friends have gone away
(They left me with my pride)
Lake of Memory calls my soul
(And the ravens pick my mind)
Loneliness it’s time to heal you
Forgiveness I implore
On the ground I’m gonna leave you
Just the shadow of a rose
Mama I’ve been waiting all my days
And mama I don’t wanna wait
Mama I’ve been begging on my knees
And mama I don’t wanna pray
‘cause I could wait for my own moment but I could burst out into flames
Life means more than a deal with her
I know some things I could misunderstand
She’s not someone you can blame on

Rest of the Day
03:24
|
|||
I don’t wanna be a kind of heart who waste his days
I will never know what’s right or wrong but I still play
I wanna live my life day by day
I will pass you by and watch you go while I will stray
Different lightnings spread their lights at once and then they fade
In the meanwhile I will make my way
There are more countries and lights and new seas I still could tell her
But for some stories the end can just be without a mender
There are thousands of memories about yesterday
I will stick them together for the rest of the day
And we’ll live our life and love day by day
I will never see those eyes again in the morning grace
We will never share this lack of light, It’s mine and I’ll stand
I hope you’ll live your lie with love day by day

Cherry Top
04:21
|

I really love this wonderful cherry top
And if you cook like this I can’t clash with you
And all the question marks that tear mankind apart
Are in the yard
And I admit the american bars are cool
But with those things I cannot catch up with you
Wildboar marinade with wine
Juniper with scent of thyme
I’m gonna eat this if we get married
And no discussions if you serve cherries…with brandy too
I could really fall apart
With all those things that paint the way you are
If we get lost in the dark
We can make amends or not talk or meet at the liquor bar
I really love this wonderful cherry top
And if you cook like this I could marry you
Pumpking cream with rabbit breasts
Mango rice with truffle eggs
And then a vegan patty with curry
And no discussions if we drink sherry before the bed
Bratwurst ring with mustard top
Craft cakes with nuts from the yard
And in the cream you always put berries
And no discussions if you bake candies too
I could really fall apart
With all these things that paint the way you are
If we get lost in the dark
We can make amends or not talk or meet at the liquor bar

Memories
04:02
|

Memories came back to me
They show what it’s going to be
If we get lost in the sun
The future is yet to be
The past has just simply ceased
Now we are not chased by anyone
And nothing can push you to wait by the door
The soldier has gone, the war now is done
The dam has held through all the storms that have passed
Come on speak the truth is this living hell new?
I buried you alive but you buried me too
Memories of laughter bring
Good reasons to flee the wind
Not to get lost in the dust
We breathe with our usual breath
The blood flows, it’s always red
Not bad for two people that should be dead
Now give this back to me
The sweetness of this sour sea
Should not be tried by anyone
Take your own chance to be free
And don’t mind to blame on me
If the future is not as it used to be
And nothing can push you to wait by the door
The soldier has gone, the war now is done
The dam has held through all the storms that have passed
Come on speak the truth is this living hell new?
I buried you alive but you buried me too

Here Comes The Rain
04:20
|
|||
Here comes the rain again
I'm waiting for the sun to sing
The shadows of the past, they drift away from us
Though it comes the rain again
Let's walk these miles hard
Though traveling fast is not our best
But we both can stand this love
That is reaching out our hearts
While it comes the rain again.
I don't want to lose you
Or confuse you
That's all I have
Me and you are two comets bright as stars are
We both can draw our path
If we crossed that could be a blast
Here it comes the rain again
Desperate nights I had
Alone I could not find my way
I was looking for a hand
You were waiting for a friend
Till it comes the rain again
I don’t want to lose you
Or confuse you
You’re all I have
Here comes the rain again
I'm still waiting for the sun to sing
But I learnt that happiness means surrender to the less
Till you smile again

When The Silence Screams
05:28
|
|||
Just let it go
Was just a dream
We are not ready now
To cross this stream
With the gloom of the winter night still in our hands
And if I said that I am here
I have no control but I'm still near
And the thread of the lies we've been hanging on is still around
All the words we held back
Dragged the boat to the sand
And the ones gone will never come back
‘Cause when the silence screams into your ears
You cannot hold it back and tell them your fears
That you’ve lost some things inside
If they’re dead you cannot tell,
but some memories turn to black the day light.
Don’t leave me now
But don’t stay near
I have no friendly way
To make it clear
All the filth in a sack
With the deal to give back
All the words unsaid straight to the damned
But marshmellow fountains have drifted me again
I’m drying on top of your laughters
I want to get away but coloured mirrors keep me stuck along the trail
Leave me now, let me now, go my way.
All the filth in a sack
With the deal to give back
All the words unsaid straight to the damned
‘Cause when the silence screams into your ears
And you cannot turn the back to your fears
You just watch them stroll around
You don’t blind them with the light
Because it feels like you leave someone behind

A Friend in a Bar
05:15
|
|||
I will do me no harm anymore
I feel complete and one even when I fall apart
I won’t lose myself in you, not at all
It’s not too late
since it’s me who crops my fate
And I’m not taking for granted anymore
All those little big things I thought I could control
I trust the sound of my own guitar
Though it won’t help me with starving
One thing to learn yet, it’s about how to be alone, but he-he-hey!
I will roll over this night that’s colder when you’re sober
I’ve got a friend in a bar
She taught me the art of dealing with myself
I won’t be that impatient anymore
The wiser way to get it sometimes is letting go
I have no one to blame anymore
I’m sick and tired of killing someone else’s hope
If you ask me the reasons for this strain
It’s pretty clear to me you haven’t had much pain
I went to town, the world was spinning ‘round
And I was special and charming
One thing to learn yet, and it’s about how to be alone, he-he-hey!
I will roll over this night that’s colder if you’re sober
I’ve got a friend in a bar
She taught me the art of dealing with myself
