so you fight for (what) you are say who defines what you are fighting for? this time when you'll step out (of) this door god won't be answering me so i hide in you, hope we dream this, too the end comes flaking the storm keeps breaking in oh lord, can't you be there this mind is closing down back when i could cradle these eyes looked right at me but they don't do any more that blood just won't come off those hands you claim you are a holy thing, you are aha, we're not the same water we make the same mistakes again it's not the same deep water we're following through you are well trained and all set up they timed their bomb in you now calm, your back is packed i face a blood sun and pray you claim you are a holy war, you are aha, we're not the same water we make the same mistakes again break the spell of time we make the same mistakes again we're not the same water

everything quiet on remembrance parade silent falling light, highlighting every flake as piece by piece the ground it grows creaking underneath my feet the collar high like jimmy dean travel through snow i'm travelling through with every step i leave a trench behind the bottom line defines its shape recapturing myself snow builds on flakes and so do i travel on as the frost does bite and pull my skin travelling through snow keep travelling through snow everything quiet on remembrance parade this dirty, violent place all of a sudden charms with grace a place to hide underneath i dissolve, gladly melting but why does this snow come in june? travelling through snow keep travelling through snow

sie sah mich an. müde augen. abgespannt. „so kann es nicht weitergehen”, sagte sie. und während ich noch grübelte, ob ich das nicht schon mal irgendwo gehört hatte, murmelte ich „ja.”. ich meinte „nein”. aber irgendwie gab etwas in mir auf. im hals oder etwas weiter oben. wieder mal. wo ist der fallschirm, wenn man ihn braucht? „houston, ich rase auf die erde zu. lasst euch was einfallen...”. ihre stimme rüttelte mich: „was heißt ‚ja'? ich tue das alles hier für uns. und was machst du? was ist dein anteil?”. „ich bin der sandsack!” dachte ich und sagte nichts. ich starrte an ihr vorbei, durch sie hindurch. leere. wie eine welle, die sich weit vor der küste auf den aufprall vorbereitet und dann einfach nur ausläuft. worauf lief das hinaus? artikulation des unvermeidlichen? vollendung des unausweichlichen? ich stellte mir vor, wie ich einen wagen steuerte. von der strecke abkommend. die hände ins lenkrad gehauen. unfähig links oder rechts einzuschlagen. den baum vor augen. starr. unfähig. nicht fähig bis zum aufprall. glück hat der, der lebend heraus kommt, oder nicht?! die narben bleiben. hier sieh. wir waren nicht pilcher, nicht kafka. wir waren gewöhnlich und nicht mal gut darin. ein fortsetzungsroman, der sich die absetzung herbeisehnt. ich nehme noch einen.

cover me 04:56
she called it escape from him but couldn't find home a promise not fulfilled her dreams she handed back; livelong eventually her trying ran on empty on 2nd thought gave in her ink always drying when trying to write home all she ever asked for was heart and a home could she answer this, could she answer that she might as well … he found it hard to give in to bitching and her moan could not explain his desire to run away sacrificing what once shared yet he cried on, tried on, lied on when will trust appear? he whispers and she screams: “cover me” i'm slowly drifting off-guard, cover me you promised time would heal but how long wait? can't i just forget? cover me
